The Fate of the First Hero of Light

The Dwarven realm at Geir's home...

Geir is busy counting various currencies carefully documenting them.

BAM

His home's door is flung open.

"GREAT FATHER! THERE IS AN EMERGENCY THE QUEEN NEEDS YOU!" screams a young dwarf running inside.

Geir immediately grabs his broadsword.

Adjusting his weapon he runs to exit his house to save Zelda from her predicament!

CHINK

"UGH!?"

The chain his wife fastened to his neck stops Geir in his tracks.

CRASH

He falls to the floor.

"GREAT FATHER!?" the young dwarf screams at the fallen Geir.

RUSTLE

Geir stands up.

Adjusting his chain around his neck.

"I am sorry Vostoc please tell Zelda I will be unable to assist her."

"YES, GREAT FATHER!" the Dwarf exits Geir's house to deliver the ill news.

Long times later...

"I see thank you Vostoc for passing this message along..." says a dejected Zelda.

The ill news has been delivered.

"Your Majesty you must not fear there is no disaster that we cannot face together! We do not require Claurilles's assistance anymore!" screams the confident Lady Edeline.

Zelda sighs.

"Very well Lady Edeline the Kingdom of Kerstopene has proclaimed that it will no longer abide by our agreements and has refused to pay fees owed to us."

"THOSE FIENDS!" booms the Knight.

"Your Highness I cannot believe that they would do such a foolish thing!" screams the Fire Mage.

"Sir Hunfrey, Sir Izdryn I feel the same." says the sad Queen.

"Surely we can just demand they uphold the agreements to pay us the fees needed! We will compel to their honour! They must pay us what is fair!" says the confident Lady Edeline.

"..." there is silence.

"Your Majesty?" Lady Edeline looks towards Zelda for guidance in this honourable quest.

"Lady Edeline about the Kingdom of Kersopene..." Zelda explains of the Kingdom of Hyrule's evil machinations against the foreign lands.

Short times pass...

"That accursed Claurilles! He must have definitely ensnared Your Majesty with his evilness! There is no way that you could let such an injustice pass!" says Lady Edeline confident that Zelda had no part in such a terrible scheme.

Zelda looks towards Lady Edeline.

She shakes her hide side to side, she rolls her eyes...

"Sir Hunfrey rally the troops! We will force their compliance!" Zelda screams standing up.

"AT ONCE YOUR MAJESTY! SOUND THE ALARM!" screams the Knight.

Bells sound throughout the castle.

The troops are assembled.

"ONWARD MARCH!" the Knight orders Zelda's retaliatory forces to depart.

The Kingdom of Hyrule's Knights follows the orders they march towards the Kingdom of Kerstopene.

Some time has passed on their way to collect their funds due...

"Your Majesty there seems to be a battle there in the far distance!" says Lady Edeline pointing to an ice dragon fighting other great beasts in the far off distance!

"IT CANNOT BE!" screams the excited Zelda recognizing the ice magics being used.

Zelda runs towards the battle.

"ONWARDS MEN!" the Knight orders everyone to follow the Queen.

Making their way through brush and woods they reach the battlefield.

Many elf like beings lay strewn about, they are all dead and their bodies have been mangled.

"Who are these people?" ask a concerned Zelda.

The Fire Mage recognizes the tattoo on a nearby corpse's body.

"These are High Elf's from the Bloodfield Forest!" screams the Fire Mage.

"THOSE DASTARDLY FIENDS!" screams the Knight.

"SIR HUNFREY?! DO YOU KNOW OF THEM?" screams the startled Zelda.

"YES, YOUR MAJESTY! THEY ARE ENEMIES OF OUR LADY VIVILARA!" responds the Knight.

"Excuse me?" asks Zelda.

"Your Highness they are the foes of the Dark Elves of the Spiriteye Woods, Lady Vivilara's people." explains the Fire Mage.

"I see." says Zelda.

BAM

CRASH

A magical beast falls in the not so far off distance in front of Zelda's party.

"DEFEND THE QUEEN!" one of Zelda's Knights shouts an order.

They form an impenetrable formation around Zelda.

"YOUR MAJESTY LET US PROCEED WITH CAUTION!" the Knight gives his wise advice.

Zelda nods.

The group moves onwards to the battlefield.

Zelda looks to the unfolding battle in front of her.

A man dressed in the red colours of House Dominitus speeds towards the many warriors of the High Elves from the Bloodfield Forest.

He thrusts his rapier with such speed it seems to disappear like that of an illusionists performance the only proof that it is not an illusion is the corpses of the many High Elves that fall as he passes them!

They have all been pierced through their vital organs killed instantly by this lethal warrior.

"...Ugh..." Zelda recognizes Estonix glaring at him from a far.

Zelda searches again for hero.

Another warrior is riding on the back of a large ice dragon!

"THOSE ICE MAGICS IT MUST BE GEIR!" Zelda screams to her hero!

Hurriedly the Queen moves towards the battle the impenetrable formation follows her.

The ice dragon breaks through the magical constructs and beasts that the High Elfs conjure, crushing the terrified High Elves into a bloody pulp!

Zelda strains her eyes to look closer at her hero crushing his enemies.

But upon closer inspection it is a tall woman wearing a traditional Tulok parka that is drenched in blood!

"TEELA!" the Fire Mage recognizes his lover off in the far distance murdering her enemies.

"Noooo..." Zelda's spirits drop it is only Geir's Grandmother.

Zelda sees another warrior off in the distance.

It is a beautiful woman with the ears of an hare!

"MJRN!" screams Zelda her spirit's level has recovered!

"ONWARDS MEN!" the Knight orders the formation to depart.

In the distance...

Mjrn shoots her longbow in quick succession.

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" the High Elfves scream in pain as they are pierced by her arrows.

Mjrn sees movements behind her.

Looking off in the far distance she sees a small woman running frantically towards her while screaming and waving at her!

"ZELDY!" the excited Mjrn screams to her best friend.

She waves back to the excited Zelda.

Short times pass...

"MJRN!" Zelda shouts to her best friend as she runs towards her.

"ZELDY!"

Mjrn runs to Zelda and they embrace.

"Mjrn what are you doing here?" asks Zelda.

"Zeldy we are killing the bad elves." says Mjrn.

"I see." Zelda accepts her answer without asking for any specifics.

"Zeldy where are you going?"

Zelda explains of her dishonourable quest to retrieve her ill-begotten gains.

Mjrn's posture changes.

"LADY MENEVES!" the Knight recognizes Mjrn's dual business charisma taking over Mjrn's body.

"PLEASE HOLY MOTHER SAVE OUR ENEMIES!" the Knight's shiver in fear at the mere mention of her name!

"BE QUIET!" Meneves orders their obedience!

"YES!" the men hop to attention.

Mjrn glares at them.

"..." silence.

"Zeldy we will leave immediately!" Meneves orders the Queen.

"YES!" Zelda complies.

Estonix sees his wife depart.

"My beloved!" he screams to her while decapitating the High Elves that stand near to him!

Meneves is too furious to even think of her love!

The party departs towards the Kingdom of Kerstopene...

"Here is the contract you will submit! Pay us what you owe!" the beautiful woman with the ears of a hare waves the ironclad contract about.

"We shall not ever pay you villains even one more rupee!" the arrogant young Prince proclaims.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" screams Meneves.

"You heard me we will not pay you fiends even one more...UGH?!"

SNAP

In her fit of rage Mjrn grasped the young Prince by the neck and snapped it.

BAM

CRASH

He is discarded against a wall breaking nearby trinkets.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the Queen of Kerstopene mourns her son's death.

"LADY MENEVES! YOU ARE TOO CRUEL!" the Knight's face shows tears as he is sobbing conflicted about his dishonourable quest to extort protection monies from a foreign Kingdom!

"SILENCE HUNFREY! WHERE IS THE MONEY OR WHO MUST DIE NEXT?" Meneves's cruel eyes searches for her next possible victim!

"STOP! PLEASE! YOU WIN WE WILL PAY!" begs the sobbing King mourning his loss.

The money is produced.

"HERE YOU ARE YOU VILLAINS! LEAVE US BE YOU MONSTE...UGH!?"

The beautiful woman with the ears of the hare grasps the King by the neck lifting him aloft.

"...stop...please...I...am...sorry...spare...me..." he begs for his life.

Meneves glares at him.

"WE ARE NOT FINISHED YET! HERE ARE THE LATE FEES AND PENALTIES! TAXES HAVE ALSO INCREASED LATELY! WE WILL RECALCULATE AND REFORMULATE!"

Long times later...

The heap of money has increased ten fold after the recalculations and reformulations were complete.

"Here is the new agreement. I hope this will be a wonderful new chapter in our business together. Your next protection fee payment will be due in 3 mooncycles from now. I hope we can put this unfortunate incident behind us?" says Mjrn confident that there will be no further complications.

"...you will regret this..." someone mumbles something hidden from view.

Mjrn's hare like ears immediately turn towards the someone hidden from view.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" she runs towards the previously hidden person.

Zelda shakes her head side to side looking at her best friend beating the Duke of Kerstopene feverishly.

"When will they ever learn?" she asks herself.

"Sir Hunfrey!"

"YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" the Knight stands to attention.

"Collect the funds we are departing!" Zelda issues a command.

"AT ONCE! GERRICK, BENEDICT COLLECT THE MONIES!"

"YES, SIR!" the villainous Knights of Hyrule quickly collect all the extortion money.

THUD

Mjrn drops the unconscious Duke onto the floor.

"SWEEP THE FLOOR AND LOOK UNDER THE RUGS! NOT EVEN A SINGLE RUPEE ESCAPES OUR GRASP!" Mjrn's dual business charisma Meneves orders the soldiers about.

"YES, LADY MENEVES!" the men respond.

It is done and they depart...

Nor far along Mjrn's posture changes.

"Zeldy I'm tired. I want to go lay down." Mjrn says.

"Let me assist you Lady Mjrn." the Fire Mage offers his assistance.

"Thank you Izzy..." the Viera walks towards the Fire Mage and he carries her while she falls asleep.

"...Your Majesty..." Lady Edeline has been deep in thought.

"Yes, Lady Edeline." Zelda responds.

"Your Majesty about this quest."

Zelda sighs loudly.

"Lady Edeline what is the matter?"

"I know Claurilles has tricked you into doing this. But surely there must be another way!" says Lady Edeline.

SMACK

Zelda hits her face with her hand.

"Lady Edeline do you really believe Geir to be the source of all that is evil in our Kingdom?" asks Zelda.

"Excuse me Your Majesty?" the Paladin asks the Queen.

"Do you really think every evil deed in our Kingdom is the cause of your younger cousin?!" asks Zelda.

"YES! YOUR MAJESTY! I KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!" the confident Paladin responds.

"AAARGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Zelda frustrates loudly to herself.

"I think so too Your Majesty!" one of the Knight's respond.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" screams the angry Zelda looking towards the Knight who would speak this lie!

"SIR GERRICK?!" Zelda recognizes the lying Knight.

"SIR GERRICK ARE YOU NOT ONE OF GEIR'S BEST FRIENDS?!" Zelda screams.

"YES, YOUR MAJESTY! THAT IS WHY I KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!" the Knight says proudly thinking of his best friend's cleverness and crafty scheming!

"We also agree!" all the other Knights carrying the extorted monies agree amongst themselves of Geir's schemes that have corrupted the nation completely.

"UNBELIEVEABLE!" the angry Queen screams.

"..."

"HOW CAN YOU BE LIKE THIS? WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BLAME HIM? WHY WILL YOU NEVER THINK THAT I COULD BE THE WICKED ONE?" screams Zelda.

"It is because that is what he wants Your Majesty." says one of Geir's best friends.

"Excuse me?"

"That is the part that Sir Geir has decided he will play."

"Play?"

"He will always play the villain so that we can be the heroes."

Tears start to flow from Zelda's face.

"Why would he do something like that?"

"I do not know Your Majesty."

"WHAT THE HELL?! HOW CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND NOT KNOW THE ANSWER!"

"I AM SORRY YOUR MAJESTY! I AM NOT VERY SMART!" says the distressed Knight.

"NO EXCUSES! GIVE ME AN ANSWER!" demands the sobbing Zelda while shaking the Knight forcefully!

"My beloved you have returned!" a voice off in the distance.

"Estonny!" the beautiful woman with the ears of a hare awakens at the voice of her husband calling for her.

"Thank you Izzy!" she thanks the Fire Mage.

"It was my pleasure Lady Mjrn." the Fire Mage lets her down.

Like a picture from a great novel of romance the two lovers run to each other.

Mjrn jumps to her husband locking her legs around him.

She kisses him many times on the face and mouth.

Estonix struggles to keep on standing the barrage of kisses throwing him off balance.

"MJRN PLEASE! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!" Estonix proclaims.

While still leglocked around her husband the Viera puts her hand to her cheek.

"What was that about again?" she tries to recall the memories.

"Hahahahahaha!" Zelda laughs at her friend's forgetfulness.

Estonix glares at the Queen.

"My beloved where have you been?" he asks his wife busy trying to recall her memories.

"Estonny we were..."

"I see." He gingerly puts his wife on her on two feet as it is all explained.

Another known voice is heard.

"ESTONNY DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE ELVES ARE HIDING?" screams Geir's Grandmother flying on her ice dragon.

"LADY ESDEATH!" the Knight greets Geir's Grandmother.

"WHO GOES THERE?" she searches for new victims from atop her ice dragon!

"SIR IZDRYN!" she sees her lover!

"Princess Teela!" he responds.

The ice dragon disappears.

THUD

She lands on the ground and they run towards each other.

Short times pass and passionate reunions later...

"We've killed enough for today! Estonny, Mjrn we will be leaving!" Geir's Grandmother gives the order to retreat.

"Yes, Aunt Teelee!" Estonix speaks to his beloved Aunt.

"Ok Aunt Teelee!" Mjrn responds.

The Fire Mage folds his arm inside Geir's Grandmother's arm and they depart homewards!

"WAIT FOR US!" the Queen orders a mutual retreat.

"AT ONCE! MEN LET US LEAVE!" the order is given.

Everyone arrives home and all is well.

The coffers of the Kingdom of Hyrule are filled with their ill-begotten gains!

"Zelda what will you do?" asks Geir's Grandmother.

"What do you mean Teela?" asks the confused Queen.

"About Geir I mean what will you do to free him?"

Zelda burst into tears!

THUD

She falls on her hands and knees while sobbing.

"I DO NOT KNOW! WHAT CAN I DO?!" the distressed Queen is crying.

"Do not worry Zelda." Geir's Grandmother talks to the sobbing Queen.

"HOW CAN I NOT WORRY? MY HERO IS GONE! WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME AND MY KINGDOM!" Zelda's tears do not want to stop falling.

"I have a plan Zelda." says Geir's Grandmother smiling wickedly.

"PLEASE TEELA TELL ME! I BEG OF YOU!" Zelda pleads with tears in her eyes!

"Very well my plan is..."

CRASH

The Knight collapses out of shock!

"NEVER!" Lady Edeline withdraws her blade as if to strike this evil plan down.

"EEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Zelda shrieks out of embarassment!

"I am sorry that is the only plan that will work!" says Geir's Grandmother smiling wickedly.

"PLEASE THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY!" screams Estonix who has been standing silently listening to this diabolical scheme.

"WHAT?!" Zelda glares at him.

"PLEASE AUNT TEELEE FORCING MY BELOVED CLAURILLY TO MARRY THE BEAST IS A FATE EVEN WORSE THAN THE CRUELEST DEATH!"

BAM

CRASH

Estonix barely missed the chair cast by Zelda to kill him!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW BEAST!?" screams Geir's eldest cousin.

"ESTONNNIXXX!" Zelda screams at her possible future family member while grabbing another weapon to possibly murder him with!

Finish.
