Work As Well As Play

The two warriors of Hyrule stood there in the sun of the afternoon, suddenly Link spoke.

"I guess if we are going out, we should prepare. We will need food and drink. I shall go prepare my weapons if there is nothing else I am needed for" He stepped forward taking Zeldas hand.

"No there is not. I shall see to the preparation of our food and drink. I shall also work on spells. I will meet you at the main gate when you are ready." She smiled at him and lowered her head.

Link knelt kissing her hand. He had no need, he was a ruler of Hyrule himself, but he felt that he should honour her beauty. Rising he turned and left the balcony. Zelda stood there contemplating for a while.

Looking at the stairs to the first floor he remembered something he had not done in a long time. Stepping forwards he pushed himself on to the railing and slide down it side ways. He hoped off at the bottom and let out a pleasant sound of satisfaction.

The arch ways of the first floor slowly marched past as he headed to the other end of the floor to go down to the main hall. Gentle he hummed as he walked. The nots he hummed where The Song Of Time.

On the balcony Zelda also hummed. She was humming the Song Of Time also. The notes she hummed where perfectly in sink with Links. Feeling connected to him she turned and made her way to her magic room. Her magic room was on the third floor of the castle, it took up the entire right hand side of the floor.

At the bottom of the stairs Link reached the ground floor. He walked round the edge of the staircase to a door on the side of it. There was a door exactly the same on the other side of the staircase as well. These where the doors to the master bed room.

This was the bedroom of Link and Zelda, it was sealed closed by a magic password, which only they knew. Link placed his hand on the tri-force symbol on the door and spoke.

"Syiate"

Immediately there was the sound of a small bell ring and Link pushed the door open. The bedroom was beautiful. The walls where painted the most natural set of greens, the carpet was a deep cream. At the back of the room was a door leading out into the garden path that led to the throne room.

There where several large chests sitting near the walls, weapons hung on most of them too. There where a few tables at each end of the room, one with a pile of books and a writing feather sitting on the top. The other with pieces of wood and several tools sitting there.

Link liked to make his own arrows, that way he could trust they would work. He took off the Mirror Shield and Master Sword, laying them on the bed. Slowly he walked to the table with the tools and sat down. Feeling is quiver on his back he knew he was empty. Time to get to work.

Link sat carving arrows meticulously working towards his usual level of perfection.

Zelda arrived at her magic room on the third floor around the same time Link reached the bedroom. All along the walls of her magic room where rows upon rows of scrolls, each hand written by her, or her ancestors.

There was a circle in the middle of the room, in the circle lay all sorts of powders and containers and in the middle was a smaller circle with a tri- force in the middle. There she walked to and sat down.

Sitting with her legs crossed she prepared her self. She could work on her magic now, she had seen one of the kitchen staff on the way up, and asked them to prepare food.

Quietly she spoke.

"Syiate"

As she spoke the rims of the circles began to glow. First white, then light blue. After that the circles began to fill with light rushing upwards. Zelda slowly rose from the ground, still in her sitting position. Eyes closed. Silently chanting in her head. She had a new spell planned.

For the next few hours the two warriors of Hyrule prepared for their journey. One physically, one mentally, giving the perfect balance. They both finished at the same time as if by some form of telepathy and headed for the main gate. There they met each other it was dark now. They where also met by a maid carrying two back packs.

"I see you are here already," Link said as he approached Zelda and the maid. "I assume one of these are mine." Link took one of the backpacks from the maid and held it in his left hand.

Zelda took the other and dismissed the maid. She walked over to Link taking his right hand and began to walk across the bridge with him. "This could be interesting." She whispered.

"Very" He replied and continued walking.

There it began. The journey of the two warriors of Hyrule. It started as they walked down the moon light path to the town below. The stars shining specially for them. Nothing but each other for company.

Just how it should be.
