"Listen, if she could control her magical skill, she wouldn't hurt anyone again." Roy had created a theory, based on his scientifical ways.

"You still can't believe it? Your nanny and I say that it's a poltergeist and yet you still don't believe!? How many supernatural things I need to show you before you even consider those 'wilder theories' you say I have?" Link was laying on his back on Roy's bed as the general used dental floss in the bathroom.

"Your wild theories are based on things behind science! No one has ever seen a poltergeist, am I right? So how could it not be that she has too much magic to handle!?"

"Because I was there when the poltergeist attacked! There's no way she could've used magic, it would've been seen in a way!" Link sat up, sighing.

"Maybe she's using some new kind of magic, or mind powers!"

"It is a poltergeist, Roy!"

"Prove that!"

I'm tired of talking about this, there's no way you'll ever believe me!

"How?"

"How should I know! You're the freak that believes in those redead-guys and all kinds of weird stuff! You should know how to make them show themselves or something!" The redheaded general smiled at the mirror to see was his smile a perfect pepsodent.

"…Uh."

"See? You don't know how, you just want to believe it's a poltergeist!"

"No…Maybe you could see it if we could talk to it, and at the same time we could try to understand what it wants and get her free from its grip… or then just try to force it to leave her by some sort of magic." The Hylian calmed down, maybe there really was a way to make Roy believe.

"Mm. But you said it interrupted Zelda's enchanting, right? When two powerful spells are cast at the same moment, the other one, making it stronger will consume the weaker one. That's why her enchanting was interrupted, she was only powering up Esther's magic!" Roy snapped back.

"There's no magic! I promise, I'll show you! I'll talk to it and you'll be there with me! Maybe then you'll believe!"

"Yeah, IF it shows up, what I doubt." The boy said, calming down. "Let's just use some sort of a magic blocker on her."

"Uh… Stop it already. If it doesn't exist, I will never question your theories again."

"Good." Roy came from the bathroom and went to bed. He wrapped the blanket tight around himself, yawning. Link looked at him and sighed.

You'll see, Roy. I'll make you believe.

"Good night."

"…You too."

---

"Roy?"

The redheaded general woke up as he heard his name called.

"…Yeah?"

"Do you want me to bring you your breakfast or are you coming downstairs?" Zelda's worried voice said.

"I'm coming downstairs."

"Oh, that's good to hear." He listened to her steps as she walked away. Then he looked at Link, who was still asleep, as usual. He was the one who always woke up first. The Hylian looked so handsome when he was asleep. Roy was enchanted by Link, not even realising how much he cared. The elf had that something, he was mysterious in his own way. Not dark, or lonely or evil, just an elf, surrounded by a veil of mystery. And how beautiful he was.

Roy checked the time and laid back. He wanted to stay with Link as long as possible and they still had some time before breakfast. The general caressed the blonde.

"Hm?" Link opened his eyes, slowly.

"Good morning."

"…Morning comes too soon." The Hylian wrapped his hands around the Fire Emblem warrior to get warmer.

"Yeah, it does." Roy's hot touch made him feel happy and comfortable. Link smiled as his eyes met with the bright blue sapphires of the boy.

I want you.

He let go of him, turning to his back.

"Today, I'll talk to the poltergeist."

"Please, Link…" Roy's hands touched his body as the general came nearer.

"No. I really mean it. Then you'll believe me and you won't laugh at my theories like you usually do. And besides, I think your nanny will be very pleased in her grave if we get her daughter rid of the poltergeist. She could finally sleep in peace and Esther could live a normal life, just like you an--" Link's speech was cut by the blanket. Roy put it to his mouth, trying to make him stop. He looked at the smiling general in surprise.

"Don't talk about poltergeists now." Roy was serious again. Link felt how his lust tried to take him over. The boy was so desirable, filled with life.

The general took his both hands and held them for a while, like he was thinking. Link felt how Roy's tongue licked and kissed his hands, making him want the boy even more.

"Let's forget the poltergeists for a while, okay?"

Link nodded. He tried to get his hands from Roy, but the redhead held them tight while his tongue played around his fingers. It felt so good when the flames of the boy warmed him up, making him forget the world around them. Roy was so special, he had the ability to make Link all his, thinking only of him.

The general let go of his hands and he wrapped them around his beloved. Roy came near, his body was flaming, and his touch tingled on Link's body.

Roy…

The redhead saw how the Hylian closed his eyes, giving in to the flaming pleasure. Roy's hands searched Link's body, leaving nothing untouched and the elf felt like he melted. He was with an inferno, whose flames never hurt. The fire embraced him passionately, and he let himself be burnt by the boy he loved so much.

---

Peach woke up and saw Mario sitting next to her bed. She remembered how the plumber had saved her from the thing that had attacked her. He'd rushed in and pulled Peach farther away from the mirror. That something had let her go and written to the wall:

NEXT TIME I WILL KILL FOR ESTHER
SHE IS MINE
She sat up, just to see the text on her wall. This was so scary, she wasn't sure could she take it much longer.

"Mario…"

"What-a is it?"

"…I'm so scared!!" Peach started to cry very loudly. She was a princess, this couldn't happen to her, anyone else, but not her.

"There's-a nothing to be worried about."

"But I'm so scared! It-it was horrible!!" The princess made sure everyone heard how she was in pain. Mario tried to console her, but she just continued.

Soon most of the smashers were in her room, they had left their breakfast to see if she was okay. She enjoyed the attention around her, but didn't show it. She played shocked, vulnerable and sweet. This way they would all love her. Now and always.

---

Roy had just finished his breakfast, waiting for Link to finish too. They'd heard Peach's crying, but decided to eat their breakfast before going to check on her.

"Roy…"

"Yeah?" Roy leaned to the table with his elbows.

"Now we would have the chance to talk to her without anyone disturbing."

"Not again that poltergeist? Didn't I make it clear enough earlier, that I don't want to hear about it? I don't believe it even exists, anyway." The boy sighed.

"I know, I know, but you promised that you'd let me try to show you is it real or not, remember?"

"Oh, true. Then you'll never question me again."

"Mm-hm." Link nodded. Roy was being a disbeliever as always, but now he was too tired or bored to even try to hold Link back. The elf was getting excited, today he would make Roy believe!

He ate his last orange and Roy watched his mouth in his thoughts. He wanted to be with Link right now, no matter how. If the blonde wanted to chase things that didn't exist, it was fine with him.

Link finished his breakfast and they took their plates to the kitchen. Roy went upstairs to tell everyone to stay there and to ask Peach if she was okay. In the meantime, Link brought the mirror from the hallway near Esther, who sat on the couch looking confused as always. He put it right opposite her, so that the girl could touch it. He went sitting next to Esther, saying:

"We're trying to get you rid of that poltergeist, Esther."

"R-really?"

"Yeah, but we need your help. You've got to call it."

Esther didn't answer. It could kill them, or then they would succeed and make it go away. She wanted to be saved and if they wanted to try, she'd let them.

"Okay then, Mister Medium, I'm ready to rock." Roy came downstairs. "I also borrowed a magic blocker from Zelda. Shall we put it on her?"

"Yeah, put it on. I don't care."

You'll see, Roy. You'll see and you'll believe.

The redheaded general came towards Esther to put the tiny green bracelet around her wrist.

"This is a magic blocker, Esther." He explained. "I believe you have incredible magical powers and that you can't control them. This could help you."

"But, I can't use magic!" She hid her hands behind her back.

"Esther, I don't believe in that poltergeist. You could have magical powers that you aren't even aware of."

"Don't talk like that!"

"I'm here only for Link, because he believes. But I don't. Let me put this--" He was hit with something invisible and he flew backwards against the kitchen door.

"Whatta!?" Something hit him again, causing him to glide to the kitchen. Before he opened his eyes, the door slammed shut. He ran to it, his body was aching. It had been locked, Roy tried the handle, hit the door and shouted. But nothing happened. He was locked in the kitchen, alone. The redhead held the magic blocker still in his hand, cursing the girl.

She probably knew all the time! We would've proved her poltergeist-story wrong if we'd used this! Now she's going to kill Link! Oh, god!

"LINK!!"

No answer.

"LINK!!!"

---

Link had bolted for the boy when the poltergeist had attacked. It had held him back, it knew that when the both of them were in the same room, it wouldn't stand a chance. The one who didn't believe would somehow stop it. Maybe it had a chance to get what it wanted now that he could talk to the believer.

"ROY!!"

Esther looked at Link as he hit the kitchen door with his fists.

"You can't get in there!! It closed the door on purpose!! It's done this before too!" She was shocking.

Link turned around, looking surprised and mad.

"It wants to talk to you!!"

"Release Roy!! RIGHT NOW!"

"It says no! Oh no!! It will release him if you give it what it wants!"

"What does it want!?" Link was worried about Roy, he was angry. He walked to sit next to Esther, to see what was in the mirror.

The mirror shone purple light, turning the whole room light purple. In the middle of the mirror, a shape began to develop. The blonde looked at it his eyes wide, forgetting Roy. First it was like a cloud of light blue mist, then it grew and started to have hands, legs… Link looked at the mirror in amazement. He'd been right. This was a poltergeist. A real one.

Now the figure looked like a young man, probably in his twenties, his long hair was open. His eyes were filled with fury and sadness. His clothes looked like he had been a dancer, probably in some ancient eastern land. Link could say nothing. He was beautiful, his skin like ice. So fragile, yet so powerful.

"I want life." It's voice sounded like thousands of flutes playing.

Link was so amazed that he couldn't answer.

"Did you not hear me? If I get life then I will leave her alone."

Link snapped out of it, he didn't quite understand the poltergeist.

"What do you mean by wanting life?"

"I want a body… I want to exist."

"Is that why you're haunting her? To get her body?"

"Yes." The figure touched the mirror. "She has the body I yearn for."

"Why?"

"Because my spirit, this form you see now, cannot fit in a normal body. Her body has incredible strength, which the body needs not to blow up when I enter it."

Esther looked horrified.

"…Uh." Link saw her expression. "Is there no one else you want?"

"No. Although many of you who live in this temple are strong, none of yours strengths are as incredible as Esther's."

Link wanted to buy Esther more time: she was thinking very hard.

"…Umm…Why did you lock up Roy?"

"Because I hate him. He does not believe in me. I did not kill him, so do not worry. I only taught him a lesson."

"What did you do to him?" Link held his anger back. He was so worried of Roy.

"I only used a few spells. Nothing serious." The figure smiled. "Will I get my body now or not?"

"…Yes… You shall have my body... But, will I die when you enter it?" She looked at Link, who seemed to be very worried.

"No. People will think of you as you had double personality. Your body will turn to mine, but sometimes you can also use it."

"…Then you can enter it." Esther said. The figure seemed to dance for a while, very slowly. It smiled again.

"Touch the mirror."

Now's our chance to get rid of it! Link thought. Esther put her hand against the surface of the mirror and the figure touched the same spot. Her hand started to glow, she looked at it in horror. She screamed. Link could do nothing, he just looked at her, how her pale white skin turned to tan, her hand turned to a man's hand. Slowly the light blue colour turned her whole body to the same man that had been in the mirror. It stretched, yawning. Now it was satisfied.

"I am now a human. What I have always wanted to be." His voice wasn't anymore like flutes, it was feminine, beautiful.

"Let Roy out of the kitchen." Link commanded.

"I am not holding the door anymore."

The Hylian stood up, he acted like he was going to the door, but turned around quickly and cut off the head of the dancer. It fell to the floor and rolled, its expression was still happy. The rest of his body fell down; he was dead. The dancer had not even realised how mortal he had become.

Roy ran out of the kitchen, holding the Sword of Seals in his hands. He saw the dead man and Link holding his sword. But there was no Esther. His brains didn't let him think about what had happened, his only thought was is Link all right.

"Link! Are you okay!?" He ran to the swordsman. Link saw him and hugged him, very relieved.

"Yeah, I'm fine… Are you?" He held Roy tight in his arms.

"Mm-hm." He felt how the boy kissed his neck lightly and lovingly. When they finally let go of each other, Roy looked at the man's headless body lying on the floor.

Link pitied the dead man. It had killed for Esther, it had done so much evil, just to achieve a mortal body. Why had it wanted to be a mortal so much? It had an eternal life as a ghost, it could do things out of reach of humans. Maybe it had fallen in love or then it just wanted to live. He woke up from his thoughts when he saw Roy's blue eyes right in front of him. He put his hand behind the boy's neck and gave him a caring kiss. The general wrapped his arms around Link, to be closer.

"What's happened here? And where's Esther?" Roy said as he took his tongue from Link's mouth.

"That's the poltergeist, Roy. It wanted to have a mortal body and Esther gave him hers and then I killed him." Link pointed at the dead man.

"Mm… Right. What if she just fooled you around with her magic? She didn't let me put this on." He showed the bracelet to his beloved.

"Ah, Roy! You still can't believe? This isn't Esther's body. This is the poltergeists body!"

"But I thought poltergeists are ghosts and ghosts can't have bodies." Roy split hairs scornfully.

"But she gave her body to the poltergeist." Link ignored the mocking tone in the redhead's voice.

"Then I would see Esther, not some young man, right?"

"I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. This is the poltergeist that haunted her."

"Or then it could be that she just changed her body with magic. Gender bending. Just like Zelda does. But she just wanted to make fun of you, because you believe." The fiery boy put his hands on the blonde's shoulders. "That's why she tossed me to the kitchen. To get rid of me."

"Fine. Don't believe me…Let's just get rid of this body. If the others see it, they're going to kill us." Link tore himself from Roy's gentle grip and lifted the body from the floor.

"More or less." Roy took the head and looked in its happy eyes that had now turned to look rather gross. They exited the house and walked through the garden to a large cliff. They looked down to see if it was safe to throw the body there. Down the waves hit the rocks furiously, trying to make them crumble.

Link looked at his beloved, who was like nothing had happened. Because to him nothing inexplicable to his theory had happened during the time Link had spoken with the poltergeist. The Hylian didn't blame him for not believing, because he hadn't seen anything.

Again, Roy. I couldn't prove you that I was right… But one day…

"Bye Bye, Mister! I hope you enjoyed your stay!" Roy shouted at the head he'd thrown down. Then he started to laugh and got Link smiling too.

They were quiet for a while.

"…What are we going to tell the others?" Roy finally said. He looked now like he was happy, Esther was gone and Link safe. He'd been so afraid in the kitchen before falling asleep that it would kill the blonde. Now he would never ever see the girl again, he would never lose anyone important to him because of her. Link saw his expression and smiled. He went to the general and put his hand on his shoulder:

"I think some things are better left unexplained."
