Her

For 3 months I traveled around, 3 months since I last saw...her. Everyday has been a routine, ride to a place, enjoy my surroundings, practice sword fighting, daydream, sleep, etc. It got tiring after the first week. Its not that it wasn't what I always wanted, but its what I wanted to do with Zelda. Sadly, life doesn't work in your favour all the time. I always wonder about what she's doing now, and how things worked out with the marriage. She's probably fine, I mean, if she said it would be best for Hyrule, then it HAD to be best for Hyrule.

I still wish that she never got married though. I just want to hold her in my arms and tell her, how much I love her, how beautiful she is, how perfect she is...how lucky I am to have...her. Now that I realize it, this is always how my daydreaming ends up to be, all about her. I chuckle at the thought of how a girl could have taking up my thoughts for the past 9 months, but this wasn't any girl...this was Zelda.

I start to hear owls and crickets as nighttime shows up. If one thing came out of me leaving Ordon Village and Castle Town, it's all the peace and quiet I get now, though I'm sure I would much rather enjoy it with her with to enjoy it too. Zelda must never get any alone time...she would have everybody bugging her about, making speeches, or by passing certain laws, or even having her new husband all over her!

Even though I never knew him, I still hate him. He's the luckiest man in Hyrule for having Zelda as his wife, but would Zelda ever try anything with him? They have to at some point, right? I get frustrated with these questions I ask myself, always managing to second guess myself one way or another. Zelda would never try anything with him...I think.

I look up to the sky to look at the moon, it being the only light source I have with me. I don't stare at it for long as my eyes start to feel heavier and heavier. I take that as a invitation to go to sleep and I try to get comfortable, that being a little hard since...well...I'm on a tree. I make do with what I have, deciding I should probably get to Kakariko Village tomorrow if I want any rest at all.

After a couple seconds of moving around, I finally fall asleep.

I've been trapped in Hyrule Castle for 3 months now, only able to see the outside world through a window. I spend most of my days in my bedroom, not wanting to have the feeling of guards watching my every step. Every time I walk by that...demon, he smirks at me, reminding me of my mistake to marry him.

I have watched Hyrule worsen as the days went by. Day by day, there would be, more fights, more fires, more riots, until it would happen everyday. I would blame myself for what happened to this one peaceful place. It was my fault for what has happened, it was my fault for marrying that monster, it was my fault for not choosing...him.

His name was Link. He was the one I loved, but now he has gone, and I have lost faith in him coming back. I have cried myself to sleep every night ever since he left. I have woken up to the feeling of regret everyday, knowing that I drove him away, knowing that I will never see him again.

Today has been no different, only coming out of my room for my royal duties as Queen or for when I get hungry. As I lay in my bed, my door opens violently as the King barges in, demanding I finally admit my love for him. "I have never loved you, and I never will." I say. He gets angry at what I say and slaps me, leaving a red mark on my face. I try to fight back but he's too strong. He holds me by my throat as he pushes me against the wall. I struggle to breath as he starts to strengthen his grip. I lay on the verge of passing out when he finally lets me go.

He walks out the room as I fall to my knees, gasping for breath. I finally get up as I rub my throat, trying to sooth the place he held. I lay down in bed trying to forget all that has happened, but that feeling of death will always be with me, until my last breath. I begin to cry myself to sleep, wishing that Link was here to protect me. I cry for hours, knowing that my life will be miserable forever, until I begin to fall asleep.

I rush to get to Zelda's side, as I hear Zelda's cry's for help. I kick open the door to the throne room, to see Zelda laying down on the floor, and to see her husband standing with a bloodied sword. I stand there in shock for a second, realizing what just happened. I snap out of it as I yell "your dead!" running towards him, unsheathing the master sword, ready to kill him for what he done.

I start to attack him fiercely, not letting up my attack. I tackle him to the ground once I see an opening, beating the hell out of him, my wrath not ending. I finally decide to deliver the final blow, piercing his heart. He screams in agony as he gets stabbed, finally being silenced after I finish him. I run over to Zelda to see her not moving. I say her name over and over again. She doesn't respond. Realizing that I was too late, I scream in pain, not accepting her death.

I wake up, still screaming, until I realize it was just a nightmare. I gasp for air, trying to grasp what happened. I climb down the tree and get on Epona, fearing for Zelda's safety.

Not caring that it was just a nightmare, I continue to ride off to the castle, not taking any chances. Even though it was only a nightmare, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to...her.
