Chapter 3
Zelda

"What?" My eyes widen with surprise as i gazed at the newest pages. every year, Hylians and even a few Ordonians came to join the army. normally, I wasn't surprised, but one page there surprised me. My secret lover, Dark Zelda, was a page, making her way to be a knight. I sat there, staring at Dark while she smirked at me. I blushed, embarassed to be caught staring at her. I said my normal speech, welcoming the pages and wishing them luck on their journeys of becoming knights. when the speech was over, I sat down on my throne. all the pages left as did the knights to train the pages. I just couldn't help but think of how my lover was now a page. it was odd to me, the whole situation was odd to me. however, i couldn't pondor over this for long, for i was to begin getting ready for the ball. this ball was one i was not to fond of. in fact, i dread it from the bottom of my heart. this ball was a traditional ball that allowed all the eligible princes from far come and try to win my heart. they were allowed to stay a few weeks at the castle, until i have decided my choice. frankly, my choice i could never choose to be married to. what would my people think of me if i married my shadow, let alone a woman! as these thoughts wandered in my mind, i began to get dressed. i was having small difficulty getting the corset tied up. difficult, until i felt cold hands tying up the corset for me. when the corset was finished, my dress was pulling onto me. i closed my eyes, knowing who it was without hearing or seeing the person. i leaned back and the cold arms wrapped around me, hugging my tightly. i didn't mind as she began kissing my neck. "ill never leave you my queen." Dark whispered in my ear.

Dark Zelda
I wasn't a happy person. i was silent, standing in the shadows as my love was danced with many rich suitors. every one of them had gained my hatred with just a small touch or word to my queen. she belonged to me, these pompous wind bags didn't deserve her. they were merely using her for their own purposes. any and all would love to have Hyrule, loved to rule such a great kingdom. and a beautiful woman like Zelda would only be a added bonus. my eyes under the helmet watched my light side as she politely ended the dance with prince Riggins, prince of the land of Lyranna. i remember that place. my dear love had sent me to guard the oracle of time, but i never could. the oracle deemed me evil and had sent me away. it didn't matter, i was more than glad to wrap my arms around Zelda once more. a screamed made me snap out of my thoughts as i looked forward. there! the bastard had dared to knock over my heart! my fists clenched as i started to wak toward Zelda, worried she was hurt. however, before i could, another prince with blue hair had pulled her up on her feet. she knew him, i felt a jab in my heart as i backed up. the prince was politely telling the riggins man to leave the ball and go to bed. however, the riggins man had drawn his sword. the prince, who i heard someone whisper was named Marth, would not alow this. fueled by rage, i marched over there, grabbed Zelda's arm and pulled her behind me. "gentlemen!" i shouted in a masculine voice. if you wish to fight, do it outside and not where the princess can see!" Riggins looked ready to protest but Marth gave a nod. "your right, young page. the princess shouldn't have to see such a violent act." though he agreed with me, i still glared beneath the helmet. as the two men were taken outside, Zelda was watching me. She thanked me by calling me page. i tured to face her and gave a bow. "please, excuse my harsh actions. I can not stand to see such violence in front of a beautiful woman like yourself." while a few drunk princes gave hollers, some glared when Zelda had smiled at me. seven cursed when she hugged me. i muttered softly so only she could hear. "meet me in the bedroom in thirty minutes." I grinned under the helmet as she let me go. i walked up the stairs after getting my captain's permission to retire early. after shedding the armor in my room, i warped myself in the bedroom to wait.
