Chapter 4 time and I suck at writing introductions! Enjoy!
The sun beamed down from a window, shining down on Link's eyes, causing him to stir a bit a and wake up. His sleepy eyes glanced around, trying to remember what exactly happened last night.
'Wow, haven't slept that deeply in a long time.' Link thought to himself. His eyes looked to the right where he saw Nabooru, laying on her side, leaning against the pile of pillow they had been sleeping on, staring at him. "Nabooru..."
"Morning sleepyhead," Nabooru said with a smile, giving Link a gentle peck on the nose. "Did you enjoy yourself last night?"
"It was... pretty amazing to be honest." he replied. Nabooru had taken charge for most of the night, and she really had demonstrated her skills in bed. Last night had been a wave of pleasure Link had never experienced before. In just one night he could feel all the tension and stress he had gone through in the past six years lifted off of him, he just felt so relaxed at that moment.
"Naturally." Nabooru said with a smug grin, playfully toying with Link's blond hair, "There's more where that came from, if you're interested."
"So what does this mean for us then?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, "Are we... lovers now?"
"Well what do you want to call it?" she asked.
"I... I'm not sure. This is all happening so fast; coming to your town, seeing you again, being picked as the king... what happened last night... I... guess I just really need time to think about your offer..."
"That's fine." Nabooru grinned, running a finger along his pointy ear, causing him to shudder a bit, "Take your time to reflect on it. In the meantime, the two of us can just be friends... with benefits."
"That... sounds nice." Link agreed.
Nabooru's soft smile soon found itself covering Link's grin in another kiss.
"Do you sense it dear sister?"
"Yes, it's getting stronger... It's almost time..."
"Do... you think you'll be ready for when it comes to be?"
"...Yes... how about yourself?"
"Naturally, we have to do what is necessary, even if it means..."
"Right, just like our what mother did..."
"But for now though, have you heard the news about that great new thing?"
"Yes, why don't we set out to the palace and visit our up-and-coming king..."
"So was there something you needed me to do for you today?" Link asked Nabooru at the breakfast table, his mouth full of sausage and eggs. He had changed into the red vest and green pants he had been wearing yesterday, while Nabooru was back in her usual pink top and pants.
'Heavy sleeper, and a glutton too.' Nabooru thought to herself with amusement, then replied, "Come on Link, you just got here. You already said you want time to think about my offer, why not take some time to relax as well?"
"I guess." Link nodded, "I just don't want to be a moocher or anything."
"Think nothing of it." shrugged Nabooru, "In fact if you become our king you can have meals like this all the time!"
Link took another bite of sausage, "I have to admit with cooking like this it's hard for me to consider passing it up."
It was then that a servant girl set down a bowl of sliced melons, Link seized on it and took a piece, biting into it and savoring the juices.
"I've never had fruit like this before, what is it?" he asked.
"That's a Hydromelon, it's a fruit capable of growing even in the desert." Nabooru explained, "There's not much that can grow around here due to the extreme temperatures, but we make due with what we have."
"Huh, for the longest time I never thought of the Gerudo to be able to grow produce and things." Link said, "Up until now I've always just csidered you all as nothing but thieving, kidnapping bandits."
"Say that again." Nabooru said, her eyes a blood red and her body seeming to give off the dark aura of a giant serpent.
"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry!" Link said frantically, Nabooru calming down a bit upon seeing his panic.
"It's fine..." she sighed, playing with a piece of egg on her plate, "I suppose you have been gone a while, and stealing things really was what we were any good at back then. That's why when I took over things after the war and the banishment, I knew we had to change. We gathered what resources we could and organized willing help to teach the people to do things other then stealing and baby-making."
"Well it looks like you've done well for yourself." Link said, "I have to say I really respect how much you care about your people, I knew that even back when I first met you."
"Thank you, Link." smiled Nabooru, with a light blush at his words. "Hopefully someday I can say the same about you."
"L-Like I said, I'll think about it..." Link repeated, still nervous of the idea.
Breakfast soon ended after that and the servants came to collect the plates and utensils, Link couldn't help but notice a few of the servants were checking him out in the process. He turned to Nabooru who just flashed a little grin.
"Well I have some tasks to do, so for now why don't you go out into town and see everything for yourself?" Nabooru suggested.
"Would I have a problem with that, considering how much the people hate Hylians? I mean Nemisa alone was... well..." he trailed off.
"Ah, it's not nearly as bad as you might think. Yes there was a lot of resentment years ago, but time has healed some of those wounds. As for Nemisa, well, she just really hates men in general." Nabooru said.
"Why's that? Was she involved in the war or something?" Link asked.
"Nah, that was long before she was of age to even battle." Nabooru said, "She became like this just a few years ago... and she doesn't like to talk about what happened."
"I see..." Link muttered, decided not to push the issue with Nemisa, "Well okay, guess I'll just go ahead out to town."
"Great!" grinned Nabooru, "And I got just the person to see you around."
"Oh? Who's tha-"
"Link!"
Suddenly Link was tackled from behind by a scrawny person with feathery wings wrapped around his body.
"Aviel?!" exclaimed Link.
"Well good luck with her Link!" laughed Nabooru as she walked off to get started on her work.
Link stood there blankly for a second, and let out a sigh. He turned to Aviel, who was leaning forward with a small grin on her face, her arms changed back to normal and folded behind her back.
"Guess I'm going to be your tour guide for today, King Link!" she said, She did a little hop to empathize how eager she was, unwittingly causing her chest to bounce as well, Link tired his best to just ignore that.
"I, um, haven't actually decided on becoming king yet... So could you drop the king part and just call me Li-" Then it dawned on him, "Hey, wait a minute, you finally remembered my name!"
"Yep!" said Aviel, "You've become someone really important to me, like my sisters, so of course I'll remember you!"
"Alright, I'll go get a few things together and then meet you outside." Link said, he had ti admit he found it hard not to smile at her enthusiasm.
Link headed down to his and Nabooru's room to get a bag of rupees he had gathered during his travels. He been to many places and found many treasures, so he had a sizable amount, maybe he could even treat Aviel to something? He contemplated taking his sword with him, feeling a sense of unease about going through the town without it, wondering how potentially hostile some of the Gerudo might be. Was he judging them too harshly? It felt like a very thin line between being careful or just being paranoid.
He left the room with just the bag of rupees, when he felt an usual presence around him, he stopped in his tracks, only to feel two hands grip his shoulders, not aggressively or anything, but it was a gentle hold, with delicate fingers.
"W-Who...?" Link muttered, feeling two different forms of breath against his neck, one warm and the other cold.
"Greetings dear king, you're quite a sight to behold." said one voice to his left.
"A fine, handsome man, just as we were told." whispered another voice to the right.
A cold sweat ran down Link's head, he quickly broke from the hands of the two and spun around, to see two young Gerudo women staring at him. One sported a creepy and mischievous toothy grin, clad in a silk orange outfit that just covered her chest, sides and loins, showing off her shoulders, arms, stomach and legs quite well. She wore a type of headband lined with symbols, with a matching orange jewel on her forehead. She also sported a ponytail that went all the way down to her shins. The other girl looked almost exactly like the other, she too had a creepy smile, but it was more mellow and stoic, and rather then orange she was instead clad in blue colors.
"Just who are you two...?" Link asked.
"We'll save introductions for later, dear king. We just waned to take a moment to gaze upon your grace." said the orange girl.
"Yes, we weren't able to participate in the announcement to find out you now rule this great place." said the blue one.
"Ah, well, I'm not really the king officially yet." Link said, a little weird out how they were rhyming their words together. "I'm still trying to deci-"
He was cut off by the two girls approaching him closely, the blue one putting a hand to his cheek.
"I... can feel a mysterious power within you, it's quite strange and frightening." she whispered with a faintly blissful look in her eyes, Link found himself getting drawn into them.
"Yes, but in a way it's quite powerful, like a storm of thunder and lightning." grinned the orange girl, putting a hand to his chest, causing Link to shudder.
"What are you talking about...?" Link asked with a light blush to his cheeks
"We're not entirely certain, but time will tell... even if it takes many a moon."" said the blue girl stepping away.
"We'll be taking our leave now great king, we hope to greet you again soon." the orange girl said giggling. And with that the two of them walked off.
While he had never seen them before, the two girls reminded him way too much of a certain witch duo he and Nabooru had fought long ago at the Spirit Temple.
"Twinrova..."
But these two seemed quite different in various ways. Besides their youth and strange habit of rhyming each other's sentences, he didn't get a sense of malice or hatred from them, and then there was the way the blue clothed girl touched his cheek ...
"Hey Link, you alright?"
Link snapped out his trance and saw Aviel standing before him, with a look of concern n her eyes..
"Yeah, I guess so." he said, "Do you know those two girls that left just now?"
"Those two... who are you talking about?" she asked.
Link was now confused, did Aviel just miss them or was it just his imagination? Was the heat getting to him, or maybe it was due to those strange dreams he had been having lately...
"Maybe you just need some air?" Aviel asked, "Come on, let's go into town!"
"A-Alright." Link nodded and went off with her.
Okay, I'm going to end this chapter a little early because it's getting a little too long (again), chapter 5 will come pretty quick since I'm already halfway done with it.
