Legend of Zelda: Twin Swords
Chapter 3 – Numbness
Zelda started to feel this sense of justice and pain in her heart. She looked up seeing the table filled with trusties of many nations and sects and people that only wanted peace and freedom form this world of corrupt dictatorship. She started to feel this rush of numbness in her body as she continued to come in and out of the conversation. "Father...what have I done wrong?" Zelda questioned herself under her breath and looked at the wood finish and saw her reflection.
"Like the many seasons that have gone by, I have aged inside but not in life." Zelda looked up from her seat and saw one of the men yelling and pointing fingers, but there was no sound. The two continued to fight until soldiers from respected nations had to step in, but Zelda couldn't feel the room. The only sound she heard was the wind blowing in her mind and the numb feeling of life.
"Nothing can change the fact of this world." The room grew silent and the two men slowly took their seats. "I've called you all here to only bring peace, but there is none in this world. People die everyday because of this onslaught of war and the only thing we do picker and point fingers." Zelda looked up at the crowd with an angered look and slammed her fist down. She quickly stood up and stared at every man in the room.
"How dare you not see that? We're murdering thousands of people over disputes that can be controlled under my rule." One of the men stood up and questioned her. "What rule? Under the rule of little bitch that has no place in this society and is using her magic to not age." Zelda balled her fist and clinched her teeth. She dropped the anger insider her and looked at that one man. "I'm only asking for peace and the end of this 100 year war!" Zelda stared at the man with all the anger inside her. "Madam," Zelda slightly turned her head and saw one of servants slowly make his way to her.
"You have visitor from the eastern front. He has news and word on mercenaries that were hired, ma'am." Zelda nodded and backed her chair from the table. She narrowed her eyebrows and closed her eyes. "This meeting is over. The conference will be postponed till next time. You have until the end of tomorrow to leave my kingdom." Zelda turned her back and opened her eyes and left the room.
"Damn it all!" Hiro blocked another swipe from Saria and grabbed his sword. "NO!" Link stopped him and took another blunt kick in the chest. Hiro back up with Link and looked around the desert. "'Bring her along.' She's nothing but a damn bug right now! I say we kill her." Saria changed position with her dagger and looked at the two. "No, we can't!" Link stopped Hiro from pulling his sword and looked back at Saria ready to strike once again. "Damn it." Hiro turned his back to Link and walked off.
"Why did he call you Link?" Link stood up and smiled. "Well, because I am him." Saria dropped her guard slightly and looked at him. "No, Link was killed by Ganondorf 100 years back. The curse of your triforce changed the balance of power and Ganondorf grew old." Link looked at her and then backs to his hand. "No it's not." Link held up his hand and felt the power pulsate. Saria dropped her guard completely and put away her dagger. "What? Only Zelda has this." She grasped his hand and looked at the symbol glow and give off power. "What the hell? You're him." Hiro grunted loud and started to mumble to himself. Saria ignored him and quickly dug in her storage pack. "Play this." She passed out an ocarina and dropped it in his hands. "What?" Saria smiled and put her hands over his. "Come on, you can play it. I know you can." Link blinked and felt her hands and her warm smile. "I guess. "he grabbed the instrument and started to blow in it. A smooth low sound started to form but there was in no distinct waver in it. Hiro's ears twitched and he quickly turned seeing Link move back and forth. "The kingdom's lullaby." Hiro dropped his arms and moved towards him. Saria smiled hearing the notes come through the sands.
"See, you are the one." Saria grinned and embraced Link hard. "Link, I missed you so much!" Link dropped the ocarina and saw Hiro smirking behind her. Saria let go and wiped away a tear. "So, where do we go next?" Saria sniffed and put away her ocarina. "We go and find Ganondorf or Zelda?" Link turned looking at Hiro. "I can sense both of them. I know Ganondorf's mind and he's going to attack the castle when he gets a chance, but there's a dark spirit with Zelda too." Link sighed and looked back at Saria. "Can you get us out of this desert?" Saria nodded and pointed a random direction. "If we go this way, we should be able to find the dead forest. Our home." Link nodded and stretched. "Then that's our next destination."
Zelda walked into a vast room full of books and looked back at her servant. "He should be waiting on the other end of the library." Zelda nodded and saw the door behind her slam. She passed the giant shelves and pale walls that displayed her father's images. She turned a shy face to them and stopped seeing a man dressed in heavy armor and a cape. He was looking out in the distance and sighed. "You know, I wanted to be a politician." Zelda sighed and heard the young voice. "I'm sorry, but life is not chosen by you or my power. It was the goddesses' choice." The man chuckled and turned around. The young man quickly brushed the strands of hair out of his face and looked at the woman before her. "Damn you mother." Zelda stood shook and felt the rage inside grow. "Why do you speak to me like this?" Zelda quickly walked to his face and slapped him once. The man stuttered in his actions and yelled in her face. "Why do I speak to you like this! You're the one that cursed me be born." Zelda looked away and saw the man move towards him. "Joseph...you don't understand." Joseph growled and grabbed his mother's shoulders. "I've been alive for sixty years! I should be dead and gone!" Zelda sighed and turned her face away from him. "I can not help that. I did choose this fate for you." Joseph sighed and laughed a bit. "You didn't choose it." He let go of Zelda and walked away. "I was born out of false hope and dreams and now I can't die? Fate...Damn fate and damn the goddesses. Damn it all." Joseph let out his breath and turned back this mother. "I've seen too many of my friends die in that war that was started so long ago. I've seen people I love grow old and die. Tell me, why is there no end of this for me? Am I to be like you? Young forever?" Zelda quickly rushed to his side and embraced him. "No, when this war ends I'll give up my power to some worthy." Zelda smiled and saw her son turn his face away. "Then I'll be able to pass away from this earth. And so can you." Joseph nodded and closed his eyes. "I understand mother. I'm going to make my leave now." Joseph turned from his mother and walked to the other end of the room. He turned back seeing his mother standing far in the distance. "You have no hope young man." Joseph stopped and started to pull his sword. "Who goes there?" A dark laugh was heard and a man's eyes were seen. "Come, and you'll savor the fruits of life." Joseph ignored the man and saw him disappear.
