EPILOGUE ~Several months later~
Impa stood in the castle gardens. A light snow blew around her delicate form, and the pale coloured robes flapped gently in the wind. The thin band of gold in her hair gleamed in the weak sunlight that trickled through the trees. A serving girl hovered nearby.
Hyrule had been cleaned up considerably since the battle with Kiren. The Lake's grass had re-grown, the Gerudos had appointed a new sword mistress and leader, and the Gorons once more had access to the Cavern.
Impa and Moth had been married soon after the events, and the time they spent with each other on their honeymoon was the best time Impa had ever experienced. She rubbed slightly at the large bump in her belly where their children grew. One of the serving women at the Castle had assisted enough women through the child-bearing to know that Impa would give birth to twins when she came to term, and the Princess could hardly wait until as the weeks slipped away.
Moth crept out of the orchard and slid his arms around his wife affectionately. He was clad in a long tunic of the same pale shades, and Impa smiled, taking his hands and placing them on her enormous stomach. Moth explored his children tenderly, and feeling one of them kick, gave a short soft laugh. Impa nestled her head against his chest, and he brought his head down to kiss her.
"I always feel warm when I think of winter..." she murmured quietly.
"So do I, my love. So do I... "
He slipped from her back and went to her front, placing his hands back upon his children, delighting in their touch and movement. Impa pressed her hands over his, and their eyes met, red and blue. The snow swirled around them...
