-Sir Dmitri and his Princess-

Dmitri and Aranel went walking around the city after Saira left to meet Legolas.
"So, how long have you known Saira?" Aranel asked curiously as they walked hand in hand
"Why do you ask?"
"Curiosity"
"Well, um, pretty much all our life. I'm only a little older. My parents took refuse in Kokiri forest and they helped raise Link and Saira as their own. Since we could walk and talk, we were always good friends"
"So 15 years." Aranel said, "Wow"
"More actually. When the Hylian scrolls were open to people there were passages about Saira, which she doesn't know I know, and they told about all her friendships and it talks about one friend described like me. In my mind, it is me"
Aranel laughed. "What was it like growing up in Hylian?"
"Hyrule. Hylia was the lake" Dmitri corrected
"But you're called Hylians?"
"Yeah, or Hyrulean but most people say Hylian because its easier to say and it sounds better"
"Oh, okay"
They began wandering the many courtyards.
"Hyrule is actually the smallest of the worlds so I've been to most of it" Dmitri said
"I don't expect your parents liked that." Aranel said
"That's why I made sure not to tell them"
"Weren't they worried? Saira said you can only leave Kokiri when you're 10" Aranel said
"When I turned 6 or 7 my parents moved to Kakariko Village. I didn't want to go, and Link had left Saira so they let me stay as long as I promised to remain there" Dmitri explained
"How many minutes did you last before you broke that promise?" Aranel asked sarcastically
"It would have been almost immediately if not for the laws of the Kokiri" Dmitri said disappointed.
"So you refuse to break the laws?" Aranel said as Dmitri helped her down the path
"No bloody likely. No, the Great Deku tree put magical barriers on the forest because he knew just telling the Kokiri they cant leave wouldn't do it. Plus was meant to keep the Kokiri's' safe. Unfortunately, once you enter the forest, the magic applies to you"
"But I thought the Deku Tree died"
"Just because something dies, doesn't mean it takes everything away. The magic will be there for many more years before it finally begins to fade"
"I love hearing you talk about Hyrule. You know a lot" Aranel said
"Well, milady, I can tell you anything about Hyrule. The only things I ever voluntarily read were books and scrolls on Hylian lore."
"All right. Tell me everything."
"There are many stories. Which shall I begin with? You know, this might take awhile. We should go sit down somewhere"
"Okay"
They went to a courtyard with a bench swing and sat down. Aranel sat while Dmitri lay down with his head resting in her lap where she played with his hair.
"You were saying." she said
"Oh.yeah.anyway. They say that thousands of years ago, the three goddesses Din, Nayru and Farore came to the land that would be Hyrule. Farore cultivated the earth and made the land. Nayru game law and reason to the world and Din created beings to uphold the law. When their task was finished they departed from this realm. The legendary Triforce was left in the place where the descended. There were three parts as there were three goddesses. Power, wisdom and courage"
"Now the Triforce is one of the most powerful magic's if all of the pieces are together"
"Well couldn't anyone just go and take it?" Aranel asked
"The royal family though of that so they decided to lock it away in another dimension. It was sealed shut in the Temple of time and couldn't only be reached if someone had all the proper equipment. The three spiritual stones and the Ocarina of Time"
"Ok, what happens if someone actually does acquire everything?"
"Someone already did" Dmitri said as if it was obvious
"Who?"
"Link. Saira's brother. However when he pulled the Master Sword, Ganondorf was able to access the Sacred Realm where the Triforce was held"
"Wait, when did the Master Sword play into this?'
"It was the last step before reaching the Sacred Realm. You had to pull the sword. Sort of a test" Dmitri explained
"That sounds a lot like the Arthurian Legends" Aranel said
"The Master Sword was before Excalibur's time. Anyway the sage, Rauru sealed Link away to prevent Ganondorf from killing him. But because he did that, Ganondorf got to the Triforce, but something happened he did not expect"
"What was that?"
"Well, it ties in with another Hyrule legend. The goddesses knew that evil would try to obtain the Triforce so they put a defense of their own. It is written that if someone pure and courageous of heart touched the Triforce, he would be given infinite wisdom and the ability to make Hyrule prosperous for years to come" Dmitri took a breath. "But if someone evil and cold at heart touched it, they would only posses the part of the Triforce they valued most and the other two pieces would go to the people most courageous, wise, or powerful depending on the portion evil wanted"
"That's amazing"
"Yeah, well the piece Ganondorf got was the power and it was enough for him to conquer mine and Saira's home. Link is one a quest to awaken the sages because only they possess the power to defeat him."
"Wow. Your history is fascinating"
"We're making history" Dmitri said
"Ok, now that I know Hyrule's history, tell me more about you" Aranel said running her fingers through his hair
"Each story I tell deserves a kiss don't you think?"
"If you insist"
"That I do"
Aranel bent down and her dark hair draped down. It seemed to change color depending on the light. She kissed him deeply twice because he told two stories. As usual he cupped her face as he kissed her.
"Ok, two kisses, two stories" she said forcing herself to pull away considering Dmitri was an extremely good kisser
"But I'm about to tell another story"
"You haven't told it yet. And if I kiss you again I wont be able to pull away"
"What's wrong with that?"
Still she refused
"Damn. Alright, what do you want to know?"
"Well, Saira's always talking about how you two went traveling. How'd that start?"
"It was a few years ago. I guess Link was 14 and trapped in the Sacred Realm and Saira just turned 10. They have the same birthday, you see? Saira knew Link was gone but at the time, neither of us knew where or why. She decided to search every inch of Hyrule until she found him"
"Ok, but how'd you get into it?" Aranel asked
"I'd always looked our for her and I promised Link I would take care of her while he was gone. However, Saira didn't think she needed any help and still doesn't. She left and I promised her I'd stay but I gave my word to Link first"
"What about your parents?"
"I'd pushed that out of my memory so I wouldn't feel guilty" Dmitri said
"I bet"
"Anyway. For a few days I followed her without her knowing, or so I thought. One day I lost sight of her and went to get a better look. Little did I know she was in a handstand in the tree above me and kicked me forcing us down a hill till she realized it was me. She let me have it but that night we were attacked but these skeleton things. After I saved her she realized it'd be better if I tagged along."
"So where did you go first?"
"Um, first we went to see the castle. That's where we met Princess Zelda. Never liked her. Anyway, then we went to Lon Lon Ranch where we met Malon and Ingo. Malon's dad had been kicked off and Ingo took over. Then after Ingo took half our money for staying there, we headed to Lake Hylian. Desolate place. The water had been drained because evil inhabits the Water Temple. Two people live there. The man who runs the fishing pond and the creepy old guy who made potions"
"Potions for what?" Aranel asked
"He never really said. We did find some good stuff where the river flowed in. Money, bottles and stuff washed up"
"What kind of money is used?"
"Is this really that interesting for you?"
"Well, yes. I spent most of my life living in a kingdom and my father is extremely protective and rarely let me leave. He's very strict on Elf- Elf relations. Mainly because of my sister."
"You have a sister?"
"Yeah, but she died long ago. She gave up her immortality to be with a Man"
"Oh"
"So tell me more" Aranel pleaded
"Okay, let me think. We stayed in Hylian for a few months then we headed to Gerudo Valley. Gerudos are really hot---ugly women who guard the desert"
"Hot women?" Aranel asked
"No, ugly. I said ugly. Okay, okay" he said after Aranel gave him a look. "They were women dress like belly dancers. What do you expect from me?"
"Not to lie?"
"Sorry. Well, you've heard the story. We went there and they accepted Saira with open arms but they despise me. The Gerudos are thieves but they never allow men to join because they consider us weak"
"Understandable"
"Hey!"
"I didn't mean you in particular" Aranel quickly said
"That's right. Where was I?" Dmitri asked
"Gerudos are thieves and despise men"
"Right. Well, there is one exception to that rule. Every 100 years a man is born to a Gerudo. He is proclaimed leader and they worship his as king"
'Lucky guy"
"Yeah well it just so happens that lucky guy is Ganondorf"
"Really? They know he's evil right?'
'They know but they don't care. The Gerudo Valley is protected and immune because he's a Gerudo"
"That's stupid
"He's the only man they don't hate. The moment they saw me, they tried to imprison me"
"They didn't die from shock because of your hair?"
"Ah, I didn't have blue hair then" Dmitri pointed out
"Oh, I was beginning to think it was your natural color"
"Nope, and neither are my eyes"
"How do you keep it like that then?" she asked curiously
"Magic. All Hylians possess skill when it comes to changing their appearance Some are able to change only certain things but others can change everything from their hair to their clothes."
"Scary. Can you?"
"No. I'm not that good. I can only change my hair and eyes. If I really try I might be able to change my face but that takes a lot. Saira on the other hand is one of the best I've seen. I think of all the people in Hyrule as of right now, Saira is the most skilled"
"So what are your natural looks?" Aranel asked
Dmitri sat up and faced her. "Watch" He put his hands in front of his face and quickly waved them. His hair became jet black but still spiked in all directions. His eyes were no longer bright blue but dark hazel.
His new looks didn't faze Aranel at all. In fact, she liked him more with his natural looks. However he took her expression the wrong way.
"I've had blue hair so long people don't like me normal" He was about to change back but Aranel stopped his hands.
"I like it"
Dmitri blushed slightly
"Okay, rest of your story"
Dmitri lied back down and continued. He went on about everything he and Saira had done from the desert to Zora's Domain.
"But our journey almost ended when we got to Kakariko" Dmitri said
'Why?"
"My parents. We'd completely forgotten about them but Saira was still determined to find Link or at least what happened to him. I made a distraction and Saira climbed Death Mountain. She spent two weeks up there, or was it three. I don't remember but she went and saw the Great Faery and when she came back I'd never seen her so sad. She learned of Link's situation and was devastated. She and I were 13 and living with my parents"
"Wow. You two have been through a lot together" Aranel commented
"Yeah, but Saira still refuses to open up to me."
"Some people just cant"
Dmitri waved his hand and became blue again
"Now, why's you do that?" Aranel asked disappointed
"I'm bored. When I'm bored I play with my appearance. That's how I got blue the first time" Dmitri said
"So are you able to change other people's appearances as well?"
"It's difficult but yeah, I think I could"
"Have you ever tried?"
"Well, yeah, but how I have to do it, you wont believe it was the right way" Dmitri said
"Why? How do you?"
"Well, I have to kiss the person" he smiled slyly.
"Is that all?"
Dmitri pushed himself up and kissed Aranel teasingly. When he pulled away he ran his hands through her hair instantly turning it bright blonde.
"I don't feel any different" Aranel said
Dmitri summoned a mirror and held it up. Aranel gasped
"Oh.my.god. This is amazing" she said
"I prefer your natural looks though" Dmitri said
"Yeah, blonde really isn't my color. How do I change back?'
"Well, another kiss and." but he'd already started kissing her
Aranel looked in the mirror but the blonde remained
"Shake your head" he told her
She did and it immediately returned
"I never knew you could change appearances like that. In the Wizard world you need a potion to change your look"
"Each race has different abilities that make them unique"
"Hey, I've got a question, how come you came to Hogwarts halfway through the year?'
"Well, me and Saira both got letter but we didn't show them to anyone cause we never heard of a Wizard school called Hogwarts. When Link came back in August, he found the letter but it took forever for everything to get sorted out what with the Ministry and all. Dumbledore took her and she was off. Not to long after I'd been occupying my time but causing all kinds of havoc and while I was out one night, my parents found my letter in the trash. I came back-"
"Wait, you came back every night?" Aranel asked
"Well yeah. I'd spent nearly 4 years out on my own with Saira sleeping on the ground and what not"
"Okay continue"
"At first I refused to go but then the dragon Volvagia was resurrected and my parents didn't want me to stay. The next day I was shipped off. Dumbledore figured I'd be coming so he prepared for me to come too"
"Ok another story, another kiss" She leaned down and kissed him. "Okay-"
But Dmitri didn't want to tell stories. Everyone thought all they did was make out and everything was just physical but usually they talked for a long time so that when they did kiss it was more sensual. Almost like reflex Aranel tried to reach for Dmitri's back. He grabbed her hands and flipped her so he had her pinned beneath him against the cushioned bench.
"Off limits" he said before going in for another kiss. Aranel was pushed hard against the couch and Dmitri was leaning over her not letting go of her hands.
"Ahem" someone coughed behind them
Dmitri really didn't seem to care because he continued but Aranel turned her head.
"I swear to Din this place is prone to interruptions. Can I not have 10 bloody minutes?" Dmitri said letting go of Aranel and allowing her to sit up and straighten her wrinkled clothing.
Tarowyn was standing in an archway. "Pardon my intrusion but dinner is ready" he walked away swiftly
Aranel began to laugh. Dmitri began kissing her neck playfully. "That's probably not the first time he's walked in on someone"
"Yeah" he finally stopped. "Ready?"
"Will you do one thing for me first?"
"Sure"
"Be natural. I like you black than blue"
Dmitri bit his lip as if debating with himself. "Alright" He kissed her one more time before making an 'S' wave in front of his face going back to the looks he was born with
"Thank you"
They set off together seeing everyone else make their was to the dining hall. Dinner went by swiftly and soon everyone was heading to their room. Well almost everyone.
