Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda or whatever things related to Legend of Zelda or SSBM. The only thing I own is not until chapter 7.
Past lives calling
Autumn leaves falling
Winter draws near.
Cold anger blazes inside
Dragging me along for the ride
Washing my mind out with the tide
Calling on my greatest fear.
Darkness and death
As I draw my last breath
But instead the sword is sheathed
And maybe I'll live out another year.
The activity of the castle has been gone for a couple of hours and hardly anyone was awake. Well, 'anyone' didn't include Damion. He was sitting in his armchair comtemplating daggers with the fire reflected on them. He was wondering which he should take, the one dipped in poison or the one that hurt painlessly or maybe the two.
Now, the other problem was who should be responsible for the attack. Zelda is too happy with his life to suicide herself, Link would never do such a thing nor her parents and he couldn't blame himself for the kill. He sighed and decided to worry when the time came.
Damion got up and walked into the darkness part of his room, which contained different pouches of powders.
He picked one up, it's contained invisibility. The next contained sleep and the last one contain, which can be useful if the Princess is awake, Darkness. She wouldn,t be able to see him and he would not be able either. Also, Damion cursed himself for bringing enough Sleep for taking out the guards.
Damion now opened the pouch contained Invisibility and poured it over him. The powder slowly sank into his skin and disguided him from sight, it will stand until he poured the antidote over him but someone who has magical powers, like Zelda will be able to see him. Damion took his two daggers, place them in his belts and off he were.
By the time Damion prepared himself, another room in the castle was having some activity.
~Link PoV~
"Well Zeld, that was some great dinner you've done tonight, you should do this more often", I said.
"I will not to this more often Linky, we have to take dinner with my parents once in a while or it going to be suspiscious", said Zelda.
"Oh too bad, well I think I'm off", I said.
"No you're not, you're sleeping with me tonight", said Zelda with a smile.
I couldn't do nothing but having a big smile on my face.
"If it's your desire princess, I can't go after it", I said.
"Well, it is so, now help me to undress now would you", she said with a grin.
"Ok", I happily obliged.
"But not will all my stuff ok you silly boy", said the Hyrulian Princess.
"Well, I was expecting that", I said
We prepared to go to bed and soon we drifted away to sleep. I was having light sleep that night but I was brutally awaken by Zelda
"Link wake up", said the soundly alarmed but sweet voice of the Princess.
"Why", I said half asleep.
"Don't ask question and come here", said Zelda.
I get up and walked next to her. The guards were dead. I was checking them when I heard something.
"Oh Link, you have to get out of here", said Zelda, "Father doesn't like you now. Imagine if he knew you were in my room when this happened."
"Yeah", I said, "definitely not good", I kissed her on the cheek.
"All right, beautiful, I'm out, but what are you going to do about these guys?", I asked
"Well, obivously," Zelda said. "I'm going to get dressed, open my door again, and scream for Impa. For help. For you. For somebody, by the goddesses."
I grinned, "All right, beautiful, I'm off then". I stepped over the dead guards and ran away to my room. By that time, I was thinking on who want to kill her and the only answer I was getting is him.
After a couple of hours, I heard a knock on the door "Enter" I said. It was Impa
"Oh hi Impa", I said
"So you know the news", she asked
"Which news", I said
"Well, someone tried to kill Zelda, but because of something, wasn,t able to do so, which I can say, I'm happy about" she said
I was making a shocking face "Kill Zelda, but who would do this", I said.
"For as I know, the only one who could do this is Ganondorf", said Impa.
"But Zelda and I defeated him", I said.
"I know, I helped in the seal too, remember" said Impa.
"Of course you're the Shadow Sage", I said, "but you didn't come to my room only to tell me this"
"No, Zelda wants you to be her personal guardian, beside of me", said Impa
"Ok", I said, "When I start?"
"Right now", said Impa, "she wants to go in the garden and she's waiting for you in her room".
"Ok", I said, "I'm off then"
I walked to Zelda room to find it locked. I knocked at the door
"I don't want to see anybody", I heard Zelda
"Well in that case", I said, "I'll go tell Impa that she mistook your orders, Princess"
I heard the door unlock and the door open.
"Sorry Link", simply said Zelda.
"It's ok...", I said.
I approched her ear.
"...beautiful", I whispered in her ear
Zelda and I walked through the garden and I thnik the king, the queen and Impa found amusing that I decided to watch Zelda for the rest of the day. We were talking about nothnig whjen I spotted Damion
"Damion", I shouted.
Damion looked up and saw Zelda and me
"Ah Princess, Link", Damion said, "How are you today? Besides the assassination attempt, I mean, dear Princess."
"I'm fine", she said with a smile. "A little suffocated, perhaps but I'm fine. And how are you Damion?"
Damion shrugged with a smile "I was a bit... overambitious for a project last night ", he said." I failed miserably and ruined my chances to try again until the next month"
Zelda thought about that "You mean the new moon"
Damion nodded "Of course", he said. "But i'm confident I'll suceed next time". Damion sniffed the air appreciatively " I love May don't you".
"I do", I said "Of course, I may be a little biased, that being Zelda birthmonth and mine".
Damion grinned "Really," he said. "When is your birthday Link?"
"Oh, mine was the first of May" I said
"Link is older than me by almost a month," said Zelda with a smile. "Thirty days. I'm the very last day of May."
Well, don't let me bother you two," Damion said, beginning to walk past them.
"You're not bothering us," Zelda said. Damion laughed. "Of course I am," he said. "I know just how much you cherish your time with young master Link, Princess." Damion nodded to both and was on his way.
"Still don't trust him", I asked putting my arm aroud her shoulders
Zelda sighed and leaned closer to Link. "I don't know," she said. "He seems so nice, but there's something so wrong about him. Like he's only pretending to be so nice."
"Maybe he's nicer," I said. I looked at Zelda and laughed. "Yeah, right. But let's talk about something else, huh, Zeld? Like, oh, I don't know, that new horse in the stables? Don't you want to know about that?"
"You got a new horse?" Zelda asked excitedly. "Really, that one's yours? What's his name?"
"I don't know, maybe Epona II, what do you say about this name?", I asked.
"Cute little name like yours", said Zelda as I started to blush.
"Well we better going to the castle, dinner will be ready" I said still blushing a bright red
"Ok, you red guardian", said Zelda in a laugh
AT DINNER
Hm, Damion's not at supper again tonight," the King said, chewing reflectively on veal.
Zelda looked up from her veal (which she hated). "He wasn't here last night?"
"No, but neither were you," the Queen said, smiling dryly.
Zelda blushed. "I hate eating here, you know that," she said. "It feels like everyone is watching me."
I leaned over and whispered, "That would be because they are."
"Link!" Zelda whined. "Stop!"
"Well, they are," I said. "You're the Princess of Hyrule. You're fun to watch."
The King laughed and almost choked on veal. I colored scarlet. When the King could breathe again, he said, "Link is right, Zelda. You're watched all the time."
Zelda looked at her mother. "Men," she said through gritted teeth. "Can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth!"
The Queen tipped her head back and laughed. "Oh, yes, but when they're not being troublesome, they certainly are worth it," she said. She turned to the King and rapped his hand with a spoon. "Stop teasing her!"
The King tried to look solemn. "Yes, dear," he said. The supper went on for a while without any talking, then the king said, "I wish I really knew if the deserts to the southwest were part of Hyrule."
"What's the problem in the deserts?" Zelda asked.
"Have you heard of the Tournaments?" the King asked. Zelda shook her head. "Odnetnin is the place that's the problem. It was a province of Hyrule hundreds of years ago, but they rebelled, and we recaptured it, and they rebelled again…" He sighed. "The Tournaments are several tests of strength and skill against others. Some volunteer, and those vary from year to year, and some are regulars. People come from all of Hyrule, Termina, and beyond to watch and be a part of it. It is the ultimate test of strength. But many of the people there die every year, including some of our best knights and soldiers."
I swallowed a sip of wine. "My younger brother is a regular there," I said after some thought. "My parents disinherited him."
"I would have as well," the King said. "It's a barbaric custom. If Odnetnin was part of Hyrule, then I could abolish it. I wish I could."
"Well, there's nothing you can do now but enjoy supper," the Queen said.
So they went back to eating. When the supper was over, I escorted Zelda back to her rooms, where eight guards now stood watch. But Damion wasn't ready to try again his project.
