It was now evening and it was getting dark. The forest was remarkably quiet. As Maximus and Addryan walked through the forest, she began explaining everything to him. About how she was abandon then and how Ganondorf and Shitsuya took her in and everything that had happened since.

Addryan turned to her and said, "That doesn't sound like the king and queen. Everyone knows that they love their children."

Maximus started to reply but noticed a light in the distance. Barking could also be faintly heard. She thought that it must be a hunter until she saw the familiar glint of steel.

"Have you seen any animals here?" she asked Addryan.

"No." he looked towards the light. There were more coming behind the behind the first. "that's odd." he said referring to the lights. They continued to walk, but both of them felt that something wasn't right.

Maximus continued their previous conversation, "If they love their children, then why would they abandon me?"

Addryan told her his best reason. "Maybe they were lying to you. Ganondorf has never been honest. He always used lies and tricks to get what he wants. How could you believe what he says?"

The light was getting closer and more were appearing around them. They noticed that there were more dogs, and not only were they barking, they were snarling.

Maximus and Addryan decided to avoid the hunters and their dogs so they sped up. It seemed like the faster they walked towards the exit, the closer the lights became. After a while, they could see that the lights were torches and that the men who held them wore Termian uniforms.

They were surrounded on all sides by snarling dogs and heavily armored men. There had to be at least 50 soldiers and 10 dogs. Maximus was surprised to see them here. "What's your business in this forest?" she asked.

"Murder!" one guard yelled.

A/N, this is were the endings split.

You Finally Made it Home

"What!?" the teenagers screamed. They each drew a sword and a separate weapon. Maximus drew a chain while Addryan drew a mace. The Termian soldiers ran at them with their swords drawn. They outnumbered them, but the teens knew how to fight. Maximus easily cut them down and Addryan broke their lines forcing them to fight separately and exposing their weaknesses.

After what seemed like and eternity of fighting, the few soldiers that were alive ran back and released their dogs. Both teens were wounded but they managed to run for the nearest tree. The forest was young and the surrounding trees weren't that sturdy so they bravely jumped down and ran as fast as they could. The forest offered a bit of cover but the dogs had their scent.

"C'mon! follow me!" Maximus yelled. They ran past a large tree and several smaller ones until they reached a lake. They dove in and stayed under for a while. The dogs came and went and the teens dragged themselves out.

"Shitsuya was the only one who could've sent those troops." Maximus looked into Addryan's blue eyes. "I need answers. I'll go to Hyrule."

"I'll be with you 100 of the way."

She nodded and they departed.

Draped in the Flag that You Fell For

Both teens drew their weapons. They were outnumbered but heavily armed. The soldiers released their dogs and attacked the both of them. Maximus and Addryan fought hard but received horrible wounds from the dogs. Some of the surviving troops retreated.

The teenagers slowly made their way out of the forest. They came to a lake and cleaned their wounds. "He tried to kill me!" Maximus fumed. She turned to Addryan. "I'll go to Hyrule and see if what you say is true. I hope your right…"

"I am. The king's really nice guy. You'll like him. C'mon lets go."

A/N this is part of both stories.--------------------------------------------------------------

Link and Zelda stood hand in hand in front of a large crowd. There were guards and medics to the side of either of them. Today they were making a speech about their recent discovery. "People of Hyrule," Zelda began. "we are more than happy to inform you that Hyrule has made a big gain in this war." they told them that the assassination attempts would soon stop and that the assassin would be punished for their crimes. The people cheered, they loved their king and queen.

After the speech was over, they went back to the palace where their young sons were waiting to play with them.
