Chapter 13: The Final L . . . Life

Hey guys due to many a circumstance I have been delayed in my writing and am severely sorry for it. This is the thirteenth chapter (obviously) and I have had some time in school and learned some new things so my writing should be, by some margin, better. This chapter will bring life, love, and battle. Powers given to Gannon by an unknown entity will cause problems for Link, Mindara, and no doubt all of Hyrule!

The return of many chrs is to happen including villains so be ready for some surprising comebacks. Also I'm sure those of you who took note in the detail of Gannon's new arm are curious to know how someone in a time obviously lacking any modern technology obtain something we our selves haven't quite obtained either.

Questions answered in this chapter. New chrs follow in this chapters wake. The only question are they only side chrs or new heroes????

Let the chapter begin!!!!!!!

Link sitting at home in New Ordon, contemplated the last few days running them over his head.

Only a few months ago he had made a friendship with the entire moblin race. All had been very happy and quiet. Yet link had felt a sense of foreboding. Surely Gannon must know of the events going on outside the castle. Surely he must be preparing for another battle. Yet the castle looked still no one had entered or exited since the goblins left. He knew this because his friend Prince Ralis had sent Zora messengers letting him know the people of the castle town had evacuated and spread across the land to the other villages.

Link had gotten a few of these letters from the Gorons and Yetis as well. He had taken the news well and was glad to see that his friends weren't in mass hysteria unlike the people of his village currently. As much as he'd like to say that Gannon were actually attacking, a matter he could actually handle, something much worse was going on. Not only was this large movement of people going on around him someone was attempting to enter the city.

"Oi this is going to be a rough day." he stated heading to the city gate.

Minda flying as fast as she could across the grassy plains of Hyrule, Zelda at her side she knew she had to get there fast. Only moments from now the one thing she had actually come for was about to happen and she was not going to miss it.

Zelda knew the determined look on her sister like friend. She could sense it just as her friend could something was about to happen and now she wished she'd asked what this important thing was that Minda had wanted her to see. She knew that what ever it was it must be extremely important for Minda to be stretching her powers to the limit as she was.

Zelda looked back up to the direction where they were going and now understood where they must be going. Her heart fluttered would she be able to see her once lover again. She didn't blame him for going to Minda or to Ilia for that matter. Minda was extravagant and foreign. While in contrast Ilia was a quiet farm girl who probably fit him best anyway.

She knew he had been ripped between the three but , she had prayed to the gods, who had once entrusted her with the Triforce of Wisdom and currently the allowance to be a Sage, that he would pick her but she knew he had picked Ilia in the hope that his children would not have to be put through what he had.

"Minda why are we going to Ordon?" asked Zelda

"Well it's not exactly Ordon the people have moved to the temple with rations and things. They've been there since you were killed."

"How do you know that they moved?" again questioned Zelda

"Well after I passed into the light world a vision appeared behind my eyes," started Minda. "I saw a man with the likeness of Link and he explained to me that the people of Ordon had moved to this temple to flea. He also explained all of the events that has happened since Gannon took over again and who all we're dealing with."

"Oh, so y'know of Link J.r. and his problems?" said Zelda ready to clarify things.

"Yes and I know a few more things than you in this case, but not for long due to the fact that we are drawing nearer every second."

The 2 companions looked forward passing old Ordon and nearing the gate to the temple and new city. Minda landed on her feet and ran quickly to the door unaffected by the little Twilight around them. Zelda being sagely also did not pay much attention to the small amount of Twilight unable to enter the city.

They both rapped hard upon the door listening to the going-ons inside. They heard many rustling feet and screams. Both looking at each other they now attempted to break the city doors down.

Link heard the door being beat roughly and figured that the intruders were attempting to break down the door. He drew his sword and grabbed the handle of the gate and pulled back fierecly. Suddenly he had been thrown to the floor expecting pain to ensue he was surprised when he was hugged and held by a beautiful woman.

"Oh Link I am so glad your ok I haven't been able to sense your presence all through Hyrule or anything." Zelda started kissing Link all over then opening her eyes to look at his face. She soon realized that she had had the wrong man this boy was Link but not the one she had hoped for.

"Um, mam I think you are confusing me for my father who, I regret in telling you this, is dead." said Link with a glum expression on his face.

"Zelda I thought you knew this bit of information." Link's attention was drawn from the beautiful woman on top of him to the other equally as beautiful woman to his right, now standing over him.

"Mindara, but your supposed to be up in the house in the middle of ..." Link cut himself off as he took a closer look at the woman above him. She, as beautiful as she was, had a slightly aged look. She had no doubt aged very gracefully but still slight details in her face and body showed that she was a number of years older than Mindara. Even slightly older than his older father would have been.

Minda let out a girlish giggle.

"It is sweet of you to think of me as young as my daughter but I am a few number of years older than your own father would have been. My name is Minda and if I am not mistaken you are the son of Link, Link J.r." stated Minda knowledgeably.

"You would be correct Princess but I go by Link now and I wear the name honorably." returned Link. "Now if she is indeed Princess Minda you would be Zelda once Princess of all Hyrule and currently Sage of Light, right?" asked Link turning to Zelda.

Zelda who had been devastated by the fact that Link S.r. was dead had only snapped out of her trance when her name was called by Link. She looked up and nodded.

"One in the same. I don't mean to sound rude but when did your father die?" asked Zelda.

"Well it would've been a fair few months ago." answered Link who's stomach had churned with rage at the thought of his death. Suddenly he remembered what he had been previously doing and shot up off the ground, feeling stupid, accidentally toppling over Zelda.

"I am so sorry to have to leave in just meeting you but I am about to be a father and a brother so I really must leave." Minda jumped, her thoughts had too been jarred, at Link's statement.

"Link this is what I came for let me explain better. I am Mindara's mother and I am here to help her through labor. This is what the surprise was Zelda." said Minda quickly. Link motioned for them both to follow and as they started running. Link said:

"Good I need help from someone with experience due to the fact that most of the villagers are to old to help other than bringing wet cloth." Link burst open the door to hear his name screamed from upstairs.

"LINK I SWEAR IF YOU AREN'T UP HERE WITHIN THE NEXT INSTANT I WILL MURDER YOU!!!!!" screamed Mindara

"YOU WILL HAVE HELP IN THAT!!!!!!!!" screamed Ilia an instant later.

"And there are the 2 most important women in my life if you will follow me quickly we shall go visit them" stated Link with a slight twinge of fear in his voice. As they ran up stairs the 2 women were surrounded by other women trying to keep them relaxed.

"Let us through." said Minda with a twinge of worry in her voice.

"Mom?!" questioned the surprised Mindara through her pains.

"Yes I'm here. Zelda please take care of Ilia."answered and ordered Minda.

"Of course." said Zelda snapping out of her own thoughts.

"Now Link if you would please take hold of your woman's hand I'm sure she would enjoy your comfort." Link did as he was told and Mindara about crushed his hand but he stood strong for her.

"Link," again ordered Minda "use your other hand to hold your mother's hand so you may pass comfort to both of them." Link did as he was told and again his hand was put under alot of pressure but he held for his mother. A funny thought came to him while sitting there.

"It would be funny if Gannon attacked right now because I'm pretty sure I couldn't't let go of these two if I wanted to." thought Link.

"Now ladies on the count of three I'm gonna need you to give one final push."stated Minda with an almost devilish look on her face.

"One!"

"Here we go." thought Mindara

"Two!"

"Here it comes." thought Ilia

"Three!"

"Aw man this is gonna hurt" thought Link. As screams filled the room Link's were mingled in as well for when the women pushed Link was pretty sure the that they broke every bone in his hand for they must have squeezed with every fiber of their beings.

"I think I heard the crunch" moaned Link in his head
