From the Flames: Born of Darkness

I don't own and of the Legend of Zelda characters. Tho I wish badly that I did.

When the war started. The King of Hyrule was a great strategist and general. But as the war wore on he slowly became lazier and lazier. He soon came to the point where he decided to get a son to fight for him. He brought together his knights. He gave the order to find a woman. A strong woman, stout of heart, to make a good heir. He was to make her, his and groom a successor.

He sent the knights off to many kingdoms. They searched for many days across the land. When one day riding through a village when they saw a woman. She was in a garden picking vegetables. They saw her and went up to her. "Miss would you be willing to become the queen of Hyrule? King Harkinian wishes to wed a fair maiden to groom a successor."

"Excuse me but I believe I have a job here to pick vegetables for the king. Is that not enough kind sir?" She continued to pick vegetables. With a calming radiance about her the soldiers knew she was whom the king spoke of.

"Miss please come with us without force or we will have to subdue you." They began to circle her. But as they came closer she took out a sickle. She spun in a circle throwing the blade and decapitating the first soldier. After that they all rushed her. But she had been waiting for this day. She spun in a circle casting a magic spell of protection around herself.

She rushed the soldiers punching and kicking them until one by one they were all unconscious. But then an officer came from behind her and knocker her out. He took her and loaded her onto his horse. He left a note for his unit that he was returning to the castle and that they should hurry back.

He rode off towards the castle. Knowing if he waited even a day the king would have his hide. The king was becoming more and more like a dictator. He thought he might like that Gerudo side better. Well he fought for Hyrule and it would take more than an evil king to turn him astray from his cause.

As his horse neared the castle he saw a Gerudo attack force approaching the castle from the east. He quickened his horse. He had his horse in full gallop. As he approached the main gate he yelled to the guards. "Raise the gate! Surprise attack!" The guards hurriedly raised the gate and bolted it.

As he approached the courtyard he met the king. He hopped off his horse and carried the woman bridal style to the king. "My lord I found her in the village you specified. She put up quite a fight. She fought with great power and courage. She even used magic of Nayru. In my opinion she is truly powerful She will groom and excellent successor."

"Thank you, your are dismissed. I will take her to my quarters right now and make her mine."

"But my lord there is a surprise Gerudo attack!"

"You are captain of the guard, Leon, I suggest you take care of this assault."

"Yes… my… lord." He did not want to let the woman into his lord's hands. He knew his lord was becoming more and more corrupt. "It will take a true hero to overthrow this king…" He left his kings presence to head to the gate. The Gerudo having been found out started a full-scale assault. They began to launch grappling hooks. As they caught the Gerudo's made their way up the walls. The soldiers were waiting for them.

The Gerudos leapt over the walls and soldiers and began slashing in a frenzy of blood. As the soldiers kept on getting pushed back to the castle. When Leon rode up to the front he gave a battle cry to rally the troops. The troops filled with more spirit began to fight back with fierce determination to protect their home.

Leon made his way to the front and killed more than his share of Gerudos. 'My problem with war is not the killing. It's the forced killing on women.' These were the thoughts going through his head. 'Well what must be done, must be done.' He caught eyes with the leader of the Gerudo force. He ran off to confront her.

As he ran off down the ramparts towards her. He knew he wasn't going to like what was going to happen but he knew he had to talk with her. When he approached her she had her twin sabers sheathed. "Why do our races fight?"

"I am not sure but I know that I had to meet with you for some reason or another."

"I have watched you Leon, you are not a bad man. I know by your actions. The Gerudo use actions to signify how they feel. When we are angry we kill, when we are happy we rejoice, when we are sorrowful we cry. We seem more emotional than Hylians. I know we could forge a strong alliance. But instead you king decided on starting a war that will only bring more and more death. I want to ask you. Will you help me end this war?"

"How could I help?"

"We could both order our forces to stand down. We could overthrow the king and rule the kingdom of Hyrule in a golden age of prosperity."

"No."

"Why?"

"I know that I am not strong enough to overthrown the king. However I know that a child will be born of our two races and overthrow the king. There will also be a girl whom he will love and them together will overthrow the king."

"So I will agree to finding an alternate route to ending this war." They shook hands. Though they both didn't know a guard was eavesdropping as the fighting took place. He ran to the king immediately. Leon and the Gerudo officer both walked to their troops and halted the fighting. All the soldiers turned to their respective commander. They both explained their goal. The soldiers were nervous.

But before anything could be done another officer was marching towards the battlements. "Traitor! That man is a traitor! He has conspired with the enemy kill him!" Soldiers being soldiers obeyed the man. All except Leon's personal command turned on Leon.

"Robert! What are you doing!"

"Sir, run we believe the prophecy. We will hold them off for as long as we can."

"No I will not let my men die because of me! Robert why do you wish to kill me?"

"Sir we are here to defend your life as long as we can. We will not move as long as our hearts serve the only just man left in this world!" They rushed the soldiers loyal to the king.

"Come on Leon! You cant live to fulfill your part of the prophecy if you dead!"

"Fine! Robert you betrayed me. My soldiers I will fulfill the prophecy and bring justice back to this land in your names!" He leapt over the wall with the rest of the Gerudo. They all headed off to Gerudo Valley.

On the long ride to the desert fortress Leon was crestfallen that he could not save his men. "Leon, they gave their lives for you. Please don't let their deaths be in vain."

"I won't. I will avenge them I will kill the king."

"Leon, I will help in any way I can. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Iris.

"Thank you for your support Iris. I believe I will need it for what will be coming in the near future."

:-

"My lord he has escaped with the Gerudo."

"Grrr. Fine Robert I know he was your best friend but I still want him killed."

"He is a traitor I do the same thing to all traitors. Kill them."

"I am terribly sorry for your loss. But here is some good news. I will have and heir in about maybe eight months Robert."

"So she is to have a child?"

"Yes and I didn't have to give her my seed to do it either. It had better be a boy or I will have to kill them both."

"Yes my liege. I understand. What must be done. Must Be Done."

:-D
