Link stood and turned to the man coming down the stairs. As their eyes met the man reached the end of the stair case and was standing next to Link's confused son.
The man stood a few inches taller than Link and wore a long grayish robe that almost drug along the floor. His hair was white with some grey places. Link wasn't really sure if the white was his natural color or if it was just from old age. To Link the man seemed maybe late forties or early fifties. He really couldn't be sure though. The man walked with a wooden cane in his left hand. He had some what of a limp but it wasn't really that noticeable. Link and the man's eyes never left each other. Link could almost feel the guy searching his soul but he thought it was only his imagination. The man walked up past Link and headed straight for the coffin.
"What are you doing?" Link once again started to question him.
"Calm your self young man," the robed man simply stated, "I am here to help."
"What," Link faltered for words, "what do you mean?"
"It's quite simple," a smile formed across the old mans semi wrinkled face. "Just leave and I will take care of everything."
Link really didn't know why or how but he turned and started up the stairs. He only stopped long enough to motion for his son to follow him. His son obeyed his father's orders and followed him up the stairs and out of the room.
The man waited till he heard the door shut. After a few seconds he heard the echo of the door bounce down the stair case.
"Good, now for me to do what I came here to do," the man walked over to the coffin and looked in.
She was beautiful, just as he had expected. Her hair flowing down her sides lay shining like the warm morning sun. Her dress was a flawless white with a royal purple lace tied at the waist like belt. She wore a gold tiara around her head and it had a purple shimmering jewel, which matched the belt, lying in middle of her forehead.
"I remember," the man started as he laid his hand over the jewel on her forehead, "when I gave your father this to give to you when you were old enough to wear it."
The man smiled and shut his eyes. He began to chant something that you or I would have never understood. In fact no one could have made out considering it had been a dead language of magic. Everyone who had known this language had died centuries ago. As he stopped chanting he opened his eyes once again.
Zelda started to breathe once again. It was slow at first but as time passed it started to regain the normal rate. The man slowly disappeared as Zelda's eyes blinked open once again.
"Where." she rubbed her eyes and started to sit up. "Where am I?"
She was lost as she slowly got out of the coffin and looked around the room. She found the stair case and started up it. As she opened the door she saw a few servants cleaning. She smiled as they turned and stopped dead ion their tracks.
"You're.You're," they tried to get the words out around the utter confusion in their minds. "How are you.?"
"I truly don't know," Zelda interrupted them. "Please rise, can you tell me where my husband is?"
"In your.well his.your.in your room, Your Highness," they stuttered once again.
Zelda bowed as to say thank you and headed up to see her husband. Along the way she met a more and more servants always asking the same question, "How are you alive?" She always gave them the same response, "I don't know". They seemed satisfied with that answer for now and went on with their work.
She finally reached the door to Link and her room. She stood there for a few seconds but finally went in. Link was lying on the bed asleep. She walked over, lay down beside him, and started to try top wake him up. Link's eyes blinked open as he turned over but stopped once he saw the beautiful eyes of his dead wife staring back at him.
"Link," Zelda began to cry and let herself fall into her husbands arms, "I missed you so much!"
Link just sat there and held her close. He was so happy to be able to feel her warmth against him once again.
