Here is the next chapter. Please enjoy it.
Chapter Two
The entourage progressed slowly for it was a massive thing that stretched out almost half a mile. To prevent it being harassed by other traffic building up behind or coming the other way, there was an entire road built solely for the purpose for Yetzera's yearly journey.
'A fine day for a journey, is it not Nemutes?' exclaimed Yetzera, a powerfully built man of just over forty, with brown hair tinged with grey and hard grey eyes.
An obtuse old man riding to the right of the king replied. 'Indeed sire it is marvelous weather. I am sure that I have never journeyed in better conditions.'
'No, indeed, perhaps it means that this glorious country has finally finished mourning for its lost freedom." Yetzera smiled.
"I sometimes wonder about this place. At times it seems almost as enchanting as the holy lands across the sea." Nemutes pondered.
"It may well be. They say that the last queen was from Hyrule."
Nemutes almost fell off his horse. Scrambling for his balance (and his dignity) he finally regained his composure. Yetzera, meanwhile, looked faintly amused.
"Are you seriously telling me that the fool of a king, Reman, was actually married to one of the hylians? One of the guardian race of the triforce actually deigned to marry a mortal such as Reman."
Yetzera shrugged. He didn't like to show it but this had been a fact that had both puzzled him and frightened him. The queen had ancestors in both Hyrule and Termina in high ranking families. These families were often said to be favored, even descended, from the gods. If somehow the queen and her son had managed to survive the various wars that had wrecked the world... he didn't want to think about it.
"It's a mystery that has puzzled me for many years." He replied impassively.
Nemutes looked at him curiously, then a look of recognition crossed his face and he snapped his fingers.
"Speaking of Hyrule, I wonder what the delegation that they sent will be like."
"I know that they sent the princess Zelda herself." Yetzera shrugged again.
"But sire, the princess could be no more then ten years old."
"She has already gained a reputation for shrewd judgment and unbounded wisdom."
"Rather early for a ten year old."
Yetzera was becoming more and more uncomfortable. Being constantly reminded of the Hylians reminded him of the queen that had vanished. Thus he did what people always do in his position
"I hear that Ularian wine is particularly good this time of year."
He changed the subject.
Well there it is, finally a reference to the legend of Zelda. There will be much more in the next chapter.
