NOW ON TO EPILOGUE! WOOOOOO
Epilogue- Here we go, here we go again...
If you think I had my fun times with Malon there in that barn, then you have a sick mind, but after that night I spent a lot more time with Malon. The sun never set on our love. Kaiten returned to the forest and all was to be back to normal, I again became a lonely wanderer around Hyrule, seeking the best adventures no one had ever taken before.
It was that day, when I met up with Kaiten, about three weeks after our return. I had to decide something...and this was to be a hard choice.
We met on the river outside of the main castle and sat there in silence until the sun had gone down, I tingled with my earring and even swung my sword around for a little bit. Kaiten then laid out in the grass and watched the stars, being lost in their wonder and gaze. Of course I had to be the one to break the silence, I mean besides all that lovey dovy stuff, I was still the hyper one." When do you think I should it?" I asked suddenly. This took Kaiten out of his world.
" Link relax, the time will come, I for one say you wait another year, your only fifteen for cryin out loud!" Kaiten fell back into the grass and this time I fell suit, throwing my hands behind my head and looking at the brightest star I could see." Besides Link, your the Hero Of Time, you shouldn't be worrying about things like thatf until your at least twenty."
"But most guys do that at sixteen! I have to make my choice soon!" Kaiten sighed and I laughed. He never did get my mind sometimes." I mean honestly, what chance does I guy like me have of wooing a girl like Malon huh?"
There was a short pause as we watched the stars move across the sky. Kaiten seemed to have been getting tired of my talking and almost fell asleep." I agree she is a jewel. But come on Link your famous, you can probably get any girl you wanted in Hyrule. The ladys love you. Probably the best girl you could get is Zelda...but I'm not gonna even go into that category right now."
" Ok ok fine...at least help me pick a date when I can do it." I never have in my whole life blushed so badly, it is true that I like Malon and that she's a year younger than I.
The wheels of fayt turned, and a man walked up to us slowly, hovering above our heads. I looked at him for a moment, and then quickly drew my blade. In an instant I had my blade up to his neck, ready to cut his red. But the man wimpered in response," Please don't kill me! I have a letter from my lady Zelda! Please read it!"
Kaiten took the letter and shoed the man off as he and I clasped heads to look at the letter. Slowly he unrolled it and put it up in the moon light so we could see the royal writing. It read:
Dear Link,
You as the Hero Of Time are invited to a ball next monday to celebrate my wedding of the prince of a foriegn land. You may bring one friend to the party, and I will personally make sure you are dressed well. Until then!
Princess Zelda.
"Wow..." Kaiten spat out." Maybe Malons going!"
"Your kidding...but Malon is in favor of Zelda, so maybe..." I grabbed Kaiten by the arm." Your coming with me!"
"WHAT! I'm sorry but I'm not the royal type." Kaiten grinned." Besides what am I gonna do here anyway?"
"Your coming with me whether you like it or not, but first I need you to do something for me. I need you to ask Malon if she also got invited." I jacked him up, and he got a little scared.
"GAH ok fine!" Yelled Kaiten." But I won't like it. Where are we going to learn how to dance anyway?"
That struck some sense into my brain right there...where are we going to learn how to dance? Who would teach some ragidy travelers how to dance? But then an idea came up and Kaiten saw the look in my eyes.
"Oh no Link, what kind of idea have you come up with..."
The forest was quiet this evening and all the children lay in their beds asleep, except one that never slept, all cause she didn't need to. She always sat in her comfortable chair, reading an enormous book with her green eyes going back and forth across the page.
Slowly the girl shut her book and looked at her door as two unsuspecting strangers walked in. It was of course Kaiten and I, and yes, she was the one that we were going to ask to teach us how to dance. Saria knew everything, from ballet to swing dancing.
"Hi Saria...well we'v been invited to a ball and we really need to learn how to dance...so..." I had my head down, watching Sarias mouth get bigger with her childish lips, forming into a smile." Will you help us?"
Saria just laughed and rolled on the floor, this was so embarrasing to us! She soon regained her composuer and looked at us with watery eyes." So who are you two trieing to woo now?" Kaiten looked shocked but I elbowed him in the side, making him wave a fake smile.
" Well...we'v been invited to a royal ball...and we don't know how to dance." I explained. Saria looked down for a moment and looked back up at Link, seeming to messure his height.
"Ok...let me go get my ocarina. I'll have you two ready to dance in no time!" Saria smiled. I was accually going to learn how to dance, something I never thought I'd need to do. I didn't even think Saria might know how to dance, but as a matter of fact I don't even know where she learned it! All I knew was that I had six days to learn it.
The days went by quickly, I had learned to dance and Kaiten following my ever steps, of course since Saria was so short Kaiten and I had to be partners much to our dismay. Saria played many toons with her ocarina and also taugfht us how to dance, and by Monday, we were so confident that I nearly got sick with nervousness.
The castle was large and people were walking into the entrance from the draw bridge. The sun was going down, and that meant the ball was going to start, so Kaiten and I hurried through the crowd and finally made it to the main castle where we would finally meet up with Zelda.
When we finally entered a nurse walked us to Zelda, personal room, which was an office like shape, a desk and a red carpet leading from the door to the table. On the table was a quill and ink, plus some other sheets. Sitting at the table was none other than the princess herself burried in her work. I slowly knocked on the door and took her out of her concentration.
"Link! It's so good to see you!" Zelda and I embraced for a short period, I'm surprised she remembers me...
"Wait...Zel...you remembered me this whole time?" I asked confused, looking at Kaiten.
"Of course I do! As a matter of fact it seems I'm the only one that knows of your quest through time...none of the other sages remember." Zelda glance at Kaiten." Who might this gentlemen be?"
Kaiten bowed, making Zelda laugh," I'm Kaiten, a friend of Link." I could tell Kaiten was trying to gain strength, but he knew it would never work ,with Zelda.
"Oh sir Kaiten, you don't have to bow. A friend of Links is a friend of mine. Now...you two stink and you look horrible!" Heheh thanks for the commplement Zel." I'll have you washed up and dressed for the ball in time! Ugh...Maiden!" Yelled Zelda. A women walked into the door and bowed to Zelda," Please can you have these two washed and dressed?" She handed the maiden a letter." And of course you are also invited!"
The maid seemed very happy. Her face lit up like a bon fire!" Yes mam!She yelled, smiling." Come with me your two, come now." She pushed us out of the door, and the last part of Zelda I could see was her waving her hand.
The ball had started and we seemed a little late. I walked through the door first, watching all the girls eyes light up as they saw me in my new royal outfit. Zelda knew i liked tunics to the point where I couldn't go without them, so she had me a special made, white tunic with black armour around the middle flairing the triforce simble. I had on black underpants and a black under shirt underneath with new leather gauntlets and leather boots. And lets not forget the white hat, something I will never give up. Also a flowing purple cape strapped around my shoulders.
As I walked on to stand on the right hand side of Zelda in the throne table, Kaiten walked through the door and once again all of the ladys eyes lit up. Kaiten was now wearing white pants, thick all around with sandles and a white long sleeved shirt also thick in the center and on the sleeves. Over his chest was a black vest, and on his back, his sword. He just never parted with it, like me.
Kaiten joined Zelda and I to watch the men and women dance across the floor to the beautiful music that was playing. I didn't see her...she wasn't there! I reached across Zelda and poked Kaiten, getting his attention." Kaiten...I thought you told me she was coming!"
He made a face," She is Link, just calm down she'll be here. Theres still people coming in the door." I was getting kind of anxous, and nervous to say the least. How was I suppose to take it, I'v never asked a question like this before.
After the song was through everyone clapped, cheering on the people that danced in the middle of the floor. Zelda stood up and clapped her hands twice, silencing the people." People of Hyrule and of the native lands of Termina! I would like to welcome Prince Galehad! My soon to be husband!"
After she said this everyone clapped, including Kaiten and I, and a man walked in with his left arm clasped with an old women that must have been his mom. I looked through the crowd as I watched and there, directly in front of me, was none of than Malon. She was also clapping, and she kept glancing back and forth at me like some confused dog. My heart sank into my stomach as I watched the people come back out on the floor to dance, and Malon grab another partner.
"Well boys, find yourselves a partner! Have som fun, if you need me I'll be dancing with my fiance." Zelda said slowly getting up and taking the Princes hand. We smiled at her and looked at each other then back to Malon.
"Link this is youre chance, don't blow it." Kaiten said, looking at Malon dance, but still she kept glancing back at me, as if she was waiting on me to come get her from her partner to dance. The music slowed down and everyones dancing also slowed. This was my chance to ask her what I meant to ask her for many weeks now. Goddess she looks so beautiful there in that pink dress with her hair tied back into a pony-tail.
Slowly I took a step and looked back at Kaiten as he found him a partner. I walked up to Malon and her partner, and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked back, annoyed that I would butt in." May I get in?" I asked politly. He made a face and looked me up and down.
" No, this is between me and her, you wrech." Malon dropped her hands and grabbed mine." What is the meaning of this!" He yelled.
"I'm sorry, but he is more of a man than you can ever be." She took my hand and began danceing while the man walked off in discust.
Dancing with her was like I was on top of the world, and I didn't want to let go of her, no matter what." Malon...I'v been meaning to ask you something." I said blushing quite a bit." But I'll need to talk to you outside in private."
"Ok, we'll go outside on the balcony, no one is out there." I nodded and we walked hand in hand, past all of the girls that awed Link for his looks, past the jealous man and out the door on to the balcony.
The moon was full and high in the sky, it was bright and in the distance we could see everything, the desert, the mountains, the lake and the forest. We could even see Lon Lon Ranch out in the middle of Hyrule Feild.
" So Link...what was it you were going to ask me?" Malon said holding my hand tightly. I looked into her eyes and pulled something out of my pocket, a small box containing a blue diamond ring to match both of our eyes.
Bending down I bowed my head, taking a quick look at Malons blushing face. Slowly I opened the box revealing the ring and silently and softly I asked that question that I'v been dieing to tell her for so long." Malon..." She held her breath and went redder than the reddest skirt you could find in Hyrules markets, even matching her red hair.
"Malon...will you marry me?" There I said it! I finally got it all out and in record time too. A tear fell from Malons eye and she looked at me.
"Yes Link, I will marry you!" Gotta say this is the best moment of my life, we embraced into a soft kiss.
I walked back in to the dance room with Malon clinging to my arm, past the jealous man, past the girls that awed Link and back on the dancing floor where we danced to our hearts content.
Suddenly the wide doors slammed open, letting in the cool breeze of the outside air. In the doorway a figure stood there with long fangs and a black cloak around him. His hair was black and his skin tanned.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yelled Zelda to the stranger in the doorway."How dare you disturb my party!"
The figure walked on into the the dance room and into the center of the floor. Spinning around, looking at all the different magic colored lights on the ceiling. And then... he stopped and looked at Malon, Kaiten and I." Link...it has been a while."
I drew the master sword and Kqaiten drew his blade. The gaurds came into the room and surrounded the strange man with his long fangs." I'm sorry my Hylian people but you cannot harm me with those petty blades!" He threw his cloak off and it was then that I realized who it was."Ajax."
Malon rammed into a gaurd and pulled off his bow and quiver full of arrows and pointed it at Ajax. Kaiten looked at me with eyes of confidance." Link...lets get em." And then we charged in with our yells of fury, watching all of the people around us look at us with their fearful gaze.
Now would I go and ruin a good story by telling you what happend? Well...that would lead us into a whole new adventure. For now...lets just say...
The End
