I don't own the Legend of Zelda...sigh ---Nayru-B


With a trembling hand she reached out toward me and placed it on my cheek. It felt so warm and comforting. It was so strange, standing with the woman I love, and yet noting I wasn't really there. I placed my hand over hers and closing my eyes, I carefully leaned into it. After a while I removed my hand and let her keep hers there. My skin felt so hot under her touch. She gently caressed my cheek and the tears started to flow freely down her angelic face. "Because Link…" she whispered. In one fluid motion, I took her hand away from my cheek, and took her face in my hands. For each tear that fell, I softly kissed it away, and then I made my way down to her trembling lips, and kissed them. "I still don't understand Zelda, why we can't be together…I don't want to leave you, and forget everything that I've done. I don't want to leave the people that I love and care for. I don't want to forget any of it. I don't want to forget you. I can't. I let the question slip of my tongue like water. She had to understand.

The look in her eyes was so sad. I felt my heart clench painfully. She took my hands from her face and held them in hers, the Ocarina still clutched in one of them. The action was quite similar to the one I had done only moments before. I took a swift glance around and was still greeted by the heavenly clouds and blue sky. "Link, you have to listen to me! I want you to stay here with me, but its all my fault-it's my entire fault, can't you see that?" she made a small choking noise and started to speak again. "It's my fault that you lost seven years of your life! The most important years. I was so young that I couldn't comprehend the power of the gods, and I dragged you into it to. Her hold on my hands became painful, and I held on even harder. My heart ached for her. "Now, I have the chance to right my wrongs and send you back before all of this happened. She let go of my hands and held the Ocarina to her chest as though it was giving her strength.

"Zelda it was never your fault, Never! Theirs only one person to blame for all of this- Ganon! You and I saved Hyrule. Zelda don't ever think that." I said. I grabbed her hand and placed it over my heart. "Do you feel it beating Zelda? It beats for you and you alone. I won't leave you and nothing you could say or do would make me change my mind!" I whispered fiercely. "I don't care how many years I missed! I don't give a damn! I don't care if it was seven, or twenty, or even eighty! It doesn't matter, because if I didn't miss those years, then I wouldn't have seen you again! I never would have known of your love. I want to stay her because I love you."

Before another second passed I took Zelda in my arms and pressed my mouth against hers in a passionate kiss. I was dimly aware of her silk body pressed upon mine, or the hands that were fiercely ambitious on my body. I only knew that this was meant to be, we were meant to be. We clung to each other in complete and utter desire. I felt her smile against my lips ever once and awhile. Finally she broke the kiss, her golden headpiece swaying with ease, both of use gasping for air. She looked in my eyes and smiled, a smile that I knew would always hang in my heart. It was a smile of love, not a smile of a princess, one of duty, but a smile of a woman who had finally gained something worth her heart. But then her eyes saddened, and I was wretched out of my dreamy state. Suddenly she broke away from my embrace and turned her petite back on me.

"Link there is so much more we have to think about. What about all the lives that were taken? What about the families broken…. The love destroyed…and the children who lost their parents? I was there Link; I watched what happened in those seven years! Do you know what it's like to wrench a screaming, crying child from their dead mother's arms? If you go back in time Link, then people will have a family again, someone to love! And second chance at the life I took away. If we give into each other's feelings, then were sacrificing everyone else's happiness for our own. I know that everyone in Hyrule lost someone they cared about during Ganondorf's evil reign.

The intensity of her voice, and her words and the realization of everything hit me so hard I fought to breathe. How could I have been so selfish? I hadn't realized that I took something I hated and made it a part of me. She turned to face me again and went into my arms, burying her face in my tunic. I could hear muffled sobs coming from her shaking figure and all I could do was wrap my arms around her and hold her close to me. "I wish it wasn't so Link…." I wanted to cry to. I could fell a soft wetness soaking into my shirt. I wanted to cry as she was. I buried my face into her silken hair. It smelled like sweet magnolia. A beautiful flower. How could I have been so selfish…I had completely forgot about all the people I had spent my whole life saving. "Hero…Some great perfect Hero I am." I couldn't keep the bitterness from my voice. Zelda lifted her head and touched my face. "It doesn't make you a bad person Link, to want love" I stared at her and felt a smile touching my lips. She was so innocent. I couldn't pick between my love for Zelda, and the rest of Hyrule's happiness. But truly deep down, I wanted to pick Zelda. Hadn't I given enough away? Couldn't I just have this one thing? The one and only thing I ever wanted. It wasn't fair. Nothing was fair anymore.

I shut my eyes tight, and held Zelda even tighter. I didn't want to let go. But I knew what I had to do. With all my heart I didn't want to. But I had to. I gently disentangled her arms from around my waist and stared into her beautiful light blue eyes. The eyes that gave me a sense of hope. " Zelda I understand now…I will go…but please, do just one last thing for me" I said softly. "Anything Link" she replied her voice equally soft. "Kiss me, one last time Zelda."

Slowly, every so slowly, I tilted her chin up and leaned down touching my lips with hers. Then it ended. Too soon. She then leaned up towards me and kissed me again. I tried to memorize everything that happened. We kissed again, and again, each kiss long and passionate. And yet we both knew that each kiss was nearer to the last one of all. Although the one thing I would never forget, was the feel of her lips against mine. Finally we both stopped and simply stared at each other. "I guess this is what it feels like, to finally find something real." I said smiling. But my whole body was filled with sorrow, and such a longing that I couldn't possible find the words to describe. "I don't want a memory Link, just a memory." The whole time she had her gloved hands pressed up against my chest, and was slowly tracing her finger around, while tears still leaked fluidly from her eyes.

Finally I couldn't keep the hot tears from filling up my eyes and blurring my vision. "Nor do I Zelda." She sighed heavily and clutched my tunic even tighter in my fingers. I looked down and saw her beautiful golden head, her full lips, her small straight shoulders, the way her silk gown clung revealingly around her breasts and hips. I couldn't help but get lost in her beauty. I would miss her. I would miss everything that could have been. "Zelda, you'll always be in my heart, my soul, no matter what happens." I said looking away. I didn't want to see her reaction, because I knew that she would know, that I was trying to say goodbye.

But I looked at her again anyway. I couldn't resist. "Don't forget that Zelda," I said into her ear. She wrapped her arms around my neck a final time, and I placed mine around her curving waist. Her head was on my chest, and I knew she could hear the fast beating of my heart. "I promise. I-I love you Link…so much" I almost felt content. "I love you to."

We both broke away from each other and as we did I stepped back even further. Zelda went to reach out for me, her delicate hand raising, but then she caught herself, and rested it on the Ocarina. I nodded to her. She understood, and without hesitation she said, her voice echoing with a seeming final note "Goodbye Link" I swallowed hard, keeping my face impassive. Or attempting to. I had to be strong. "Goodbye Zelda" Or eyes never left each other as she lifted the instrument to her full ruby lips and began to play. A soft and calming melody filled the air around us. It sounded so familiar to me, and yet even in desperation, I couldn't remember where I had heard it before. I know it must have sounded so peaceful and elegant, but to me it was painful to listen to, because I knew that this song would take me away from the woman I love.

As I watched Zelda, and she watched me, and the music played long after she'd finished; I could see tears falling like little streams from the corners of her eyes. It hurt me so much to see her crying, because I only wanted her to be happy, I didn't want her to feel sad. And it hurt even more to know that I couldn't make her happy, and that I would never be able to. I was almost certain that I was crying to, but I couldn't quite tell. Because at that exact moment, a strong blinding sapphire light surrounded me, with diamond streaks floating up along with it. It completely engulfed me and all I could see were those bright lights, and all I could hear was that soft music. I felt myself being jerked upwards like I was being carried on air. I looked up and closed my eyes, only thinking of Zelda. We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it.

The music suddenly stopped and I heard Zelda's voice once more. "Go home Link. Live your life, the way you are supposed to be." Her voice disappeared and I tried with all my voice to call out with her, but it was drowned out by the strong music that began to play again. Although suddenly, in my heart, I could have swore I heard Zelda whisper, "I love you…my Hero" The everything went black.
