AN-Answer to "Junky" Ahh.thank you for pointing that out. Shows how I jump
to things. Well-lets just say that the King just randomly pointed out
something-maybe I'll reload that chappy up-I don't really know. Thank You
for pointing that out!

6 months had past since the day they met. Link was Zelda's protector, but, yes the big But, since the King didn't want the other knights to get well.angry, so he asked Link to stay away from the knights. Link gladly obliged, as he wished to stay in the village, where he was among his friends. (aN.now that was another screwed up paragraph. Forgive me.)
Link received a royal envelope (HOWEVER YOU CALL IT) hand written from the king.
ILink,
The Hylian Annual Ball is coming up, and I must find a suitor for my dear daughter, Zelda. I fear something may happen. Please arrive as soon as you can, and I shall make sure that you are properly disguised. /I
On it was some fancy signature that even Link himself couldn't read. Sighing, he saddled his horse and got out his bow and arrows, and some of the weapons he would use if anything happened. With that, he set off for the palace.
When he arrived, he was stopped by the same two guards.
"You again! Of what business do you have this time?" the first guard asked.
Link solemnly replied, "The King has sent me."
"As if he would ask a commoner like YOU to come meet him. Be gone with you!"
Link sighed, and fumbled in his pockets for his letter, "SEE? It's a letter from the King. NOW will you let me pass?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
As he walked into the castle, he stopped a nearby maid.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where his Majesty is?"
The young woman directed him down the hall, where he walked down timidly.
"Your Majesty, I have received your letter," Link said. The way he was clenching his fist was the only way he showed of his nerves.
"Good, You're here. I was wondering when you would arrive. Now.down to business."
Link was not happy; not happy at all. He was going to have to pretend to be a noble of some sort. He'd rather be himself. Now, he was weighed down with much-fancy stuff-he didn't know what it was. Thankfully, he was able to carry his sword, and if needed, his bow and arrow were on his horse, already saddled.
"Dear daughter, there's someone I'd like you to meet!" her father cried.
"Coming father."
She followed reluctantly after him.
"Zelda, meet Prince Marth, Marth, meet Princess Zelda."
"It is a pleasure to meet you princess," he told her, kissing her hand softly.
"It's Zelda." She replied dryly. She wanted out. And she wanted it NOW. She wanted to run around. Actually, she wanted to see Link. No, wait. What? What was she thinking?
The lights flickered, and suddenly dimmed, and a dark purple cloud started to form. All the guests started whispering quietly. The figure of a man started to come into view in the heart of the dark purple cloud. As their eyes focused on him, many a noble cried, "It-it-it's.Ganondorf! It can't be."
"GUARDS!" the king cried.
As four men ran up to him, Ganondorf extended his hand, and purple fire flared. The men went flying into a wall, crashed into it, and then lay still. He then turned to stare at the King, smiling evilly.
"W-what is it that you want Ganondorf?" the King asked, fearing the worst.
"What do you think?" he asked, grinning. He reached out, and grabbed Zelda, who squeaked in fear.
Before the King could reply, Ganondorf cast a spell, filling the room with purplish gas, causing everyone to close their eyes and cough. As he left, he did an evil laugh. A laugh that sent the chills to the bare bone.
As the mist cleared, Zelda was nowhere in sight. Nowhere. Where she had once stood; was darkened with ash. She was no longer there.
"Where's Link?" the King yelled. "WHERE'S LINK!?"
Link-was nowhere to be found. He had left. Well, he was in the stables, and while he hoisted himself onto his horse, he clutched his bow and arrow. He clucked to the horse, and off they went, speeding out of the castle gates.
A flash of green outside the window caught the King's eye.
"He's gone. He left."
~*~*~*~*~
Her small fists pounded on Ganondorf's back, as she tried to wriggle herself free. Ganondorf completely ignored her protests. As they came insight of a huge castle, Zelda's jaw dropped open. She closed it, and immediately returned to her protests.
The castle was cold, gloomy, and rather drafty. The only lighting was of some torches, she noted. Without notice, she was thrown back against a pillar, and then she felt some strong, sturdy being wrapped around her, and then was drawn tautly. Then, she saw more rope being tied around her ankles. She tried to squirm out of the position, but it was too late. It was hopeless. She turn to glare at Ganondorf.
"What's the meaning of this?' she cried.
As she felt a gag being tied around her mouth, tightly, she heard Ganondorf say calmly, "It's very simple princess. Very simple. I'm going to use you so that I can take over the land your father rules. Or, if he still refuses, I'll just have to marry you, kill him, take over the land by heir, and then kill you. It's really that simple."
Her eyes widened, she meant to say, 'You can't do this to me!' but all that came out were muffled, incomprehensible sayings.
"Really Princess, I'm afraid you'll have no say it in."
She let out a string of curse words. Her eyes shone like fire as she glared at him. If death glares could kill things, Ganondorf may as well be dead. Hatred, Disgust, all were in her eyes. She wrestled with the ropes for some time; and soon she realized, she was all alone, gagged, tied, to a pillar. Who would come save her?
~*~*~*~*~*~
Link had past Hylian border. Everything was streaked with dust, and was gloomy. No signs of life were visible. As horse and elf sped through the area, clouds of black soot followed them. Finally, they arrived, and the sun had long set. It was dark, and wind started to howl. Not far ahead, was the dreaded castle. On it was a single, red flag, with holes, flapping slighting in the wind. Link shivered at the thought of going in, but a duty, was a duty.
Finally, Link made it to the Castle. It was dusk, and the sun had settled. An eerie spooky feeling crept around Link as he made his way into the castle.
A/N: Aghh! This was so short! ! But I need time to think about what will happen, and parent conferences are today, it's Halloween (well, in Taiwan it is) and I'm supposed to scare little kids! Bare me the pain. Well, keep the review coming! Thank you!
