(alright. I am really, reeeeaally sorry for taking eternity and a day to update. I was plauged with artists block, and most of my other fanfictions I'm not sure where to go with...

still in Jeena's POV)

"Woah" was probaby the best word I could muster. Huge wooden doors secured the front and was guarded by two heavyset men in suits that looked like they were made from tin cans. They didn't seem to see Link as a threat, but the way they eyed Rallen (who must've gotten off pegatinum once we got in town) made me assume they weren't sure about him.

"He's with me." said Link as the guards opened the door and lead us into a large courtyard. He helped me get off the horse, and I began to feel the aftermath of riding so long, my legs ached so much it wasn't even funny. A boy who Link told me was refered to as a stableboy took the horse.

The walk to the castle seemed to take five times longer than it should, but that was probaby just my sore legs doing the talking. As if some devine force were playing a cruel joke- Rallen was absolutely fine and was still giving me the cold-shoulder.

The inside was even more amazing than the outside. Large ceilings painted with intricate designs, crystal chandeliers lit seemingly by magic, tapestries depicting battles of some ancient war. Link lead us down a series of hallways, up a flight of stairs. Any guards we ran into treated Link as if he'd always come here. Finally we reached our destination, a sitting room.

Sitting cross-legged on a very comfortable looking couch reading a book was a woman of almost unnatural beauty. Her eyes were about the same shade of blue as mine but her thick eyelashes made them look better, her skin was near white as if she had never been outside, and her long gold hair made me wonder if the sun would stop shining out of jealousy. The dress she wore looked as if it cost a fortune, and the circlet upon her head signified she was someone in the nobility. You heard of having butterflies in your stomach? Seeing this woman made me feel like I had a nest of angry hornets in mine, and I felt like a duck next to a swan.

Link bowed deeply, and I immidiately chose to do the same.

"Princess?" He started, and upon hearing his voice, the woman shut her book and popped up like a Jack-in-the-box. A grin spread across her face- only making her more beautiful and me more uncomfortable. Link seemed to regard her as he would an old friend. "I have come to discuss some... interesting matters with you."

She frowned. "Link, you just got here and I haven't seen you in what feels like ages. Sit down, relax, introduce me to your friends here." and grinned again, guesturing for us to sit down in two chairs across from the couch. Strangely, I hadn't noticed them being there before.

"Rallen, Jeena." Link started after he sat down "this is Zelda, Crown Princess of Hyrule."

"Crown Princess, and soon-to-be Queen." She added. "Anyway, we might as well get the dreary part overwith."

Link began to explain to her how he came to find us- and then moved onto something else he hadn't told us about. Something about a thing called "The mirror of Twilight" and reported sightings of "Shadow Beasts".

"You see," he said "now that the mirror has been shattered and the pathway between the world of light and shadow has been broken I cannot defeat the Shadow Beasts. They'll only revive themselves again." A grim look appeared on his face- Zelda's too which seemed unusual. "I believe that by restoring the Mirror of Twilight somehow we can kill two birds with one stone- rid ourselves of the Shadow Beasts, and find a way to return these two to their home world."

"But..." Zelda started, before looking over at me, her face brightening. "This girl here can't keep walking around in such odd clothes. I should do my part and help her blend in" and before me, Rallen, or Link could object, she'd already grabbed me by my wrist and yanked me out the door.

Zelda led me further down the hallway and entered a bedroom about as big as my entire house. I swear I could've spoken and heard an echo.

"Now lets see..." Zelda said, walking over to a closet full of dresses of varying extravagance. "First take a seat here," she said guesturing to a stool in front of a dresser. I did as she asked and she began to brush my hair. Deffinenty something to write home about, getting your hair brushed by a princess. Her hands moved carefully and gently as she pulled my hair into a braid, the parts in the front that were too short just falling at the sides of my head. already I was seeing a difference in my appearance.

"Now I'm going to need you to undress." It unnerved me that she said this as if it were nothing. I would've objected, but I doubt it would be a good idea to say no to a monarch. With an exasperated sigh I removed the cloak, my vest, belt, shorts, boots, tights, and shirt, leaving me just in my underclothes. I suppose this wasn't terrible. At least it was only another woman seeing me. Zelda went off to grab something. I put on everything she told me to, and before she allowed me to choose a dress, she placed something large and made of thick fabric over my head and around my waist.

"I'd hold my breath if I were you." She started.

"Wh-OOOhhh..." With the sound of shoelaces being pulled tight, I felt as if the wind had been knocked out of me as the fabric suddenly constricted, forcing the air out of my lungs. I gasped for air, only able to take in small insuficient gulps. "W-what was that?"

"A corset. Sorry, I pulled too tightly." She apologized and loosened the lace at the back, allowing me to breathe again. "and as an apology, you may wear any one of my dresses you like.

I walked over to the closet and looked through the dresses, finally deciding on a simple blue one, which Zelda helped me into. When I stood before the mirror and looked at myself, it seemed as if I had been replaced with some sort of mideval beauty.

Well hello there. I thought to the person in the mirror, My name is Jeena, and to be quite honest, I don't know who you are.

Yeah, I've made Zelda so OOC its not even funny -fail-
