Epilogue

Link's eyes snapped open when he felt a familiar churning in his stomach. ((Odd,)) he thought. ((I get that feeling when I'm time traveling.)) Climbing out of the hay, he got onto Epona and rode out of the ranch toward New Castle Town. When he saw a few guards ride up as he entered, he figured it would be best to stay out of sight, seeing as he'd been banished.

Link watched from his position behind the shrubs as three of the soldiers he saw earlier approach..Zelda? ((Who the hell is she with?)) Link thought as he watched the soldiers take Zelda and her little friend back to the castle. He needed time to carefully plan what exactly he was going to do with the Master Sword, and decided to give it a couple days, maybe figure out who this new guy was.

He also decided that he needed to find a different place to stay. ((I don't think I'm welcome anymore at the ranch. I might as well just forget about it and do what I have to do. Malon doesn't want to see me again.))

Three days later, sitting on the ground outside the courtyard just out of sight, Link tried to process all the information he had gathered. When he went to the temple to get the Master Sword he was quite surprised to find it missing. No one was supposed to be able to pull that sword but him. He was almost positive that boy Zelda had living with her had something to do with it.

Then it all clicked into place.

Zelda knew he would be back. She had taken precautions and had gotten someone to replace him. ((Shit,)) he thought. ((She traveled through time to get...oh fuck.)) That was why he had a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach a few days ago, and that's why this visitor looked vaguely familiar.

He was brought out of his thoughts when two figures came into the courtyard to have supper. ((It's about time.)) Something then inside Link sparked, he couldn't explain what, but he knew all of a sudden what was happening. He felt it again. He felt an all too familiar presence within the boy and his mind screamed.

This was going to be one hell of a day.

END

(A/N): I had to upload and replace every single chapter because the brackets I'd been using to convey thoughts were sometimes stripped because recognized it as a possible HTML tag. Grrrr. So you might have missed a few thoughts in previous chapters. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for your patience for my patience. Heh. (End a/n).

(A/N2): For those of you who are totally confused, I will explain this to the best of my ability. When Link wakes up, it is after Zelda has traveled through time to bring back Li. Therefore, what you read in the previous chapter (A Lost Cause) is what would have happened had Zelda never returned. However, she did return almost instantly after she left (or so it would seem to everyone in Hyrule), so history changed into what you just read in the epilogue. Basically, I wrote two alternating futures proceeding Zelda's "disappearance." The one in the epilogue is the real one. Still confused? Be sure to have read Reborn Legends. If you haven't, disregard the epilogue entirely and forget everything I've said. It's amazing how I even confuse myself sometimes...(End a/n2)
