Chapter 8. Zelda's battle. I am soooo sorry, I havn't updated thins in awhile and my cousin just came over!

"Your report has just been filed Zelda. Is their anything else you have to report?"

"No. My report covered most of it. See you later."

"Have a good day."

Zelda left the consulters office. She ran into the last person whom she had expected to hear, "ZELLLLLLLLLLLLda!" Ruto dived at her jumping around in circles. Zelda nodded, calmly like this happened every day, oblivious to the starts that accompanied Ruto's outburst.

"Hello Ruto. How is your ward doing?"

"Fine. I am getting a new assignment. Did you hear?"

"Did I hear what?"

Ruto whispered, "Well I not suppose to tell you this but-"

"Let me guess, Ganondorf ate fish?"

"How did you know? They cause madness, I kept telling every one but no one would listen to me. Did you hear about the other thing too, the-" her voice dropped to a whisper.

Zelda sighed impatiently. "What Ruto? I do have to get back to Link sometime before the moon falls again."

"You might be getting reassigned too."

"What?!"

"Yea, shocker apparently you did so well with keeping the whole 'hero' alive so Nayru has been thinking about letting Link have another guardian, or maybe not one at all. You may even fill the vacancy for first deputy under Nabooru. Isn't that awesome! I'm so happy for you! With your talent you might even replace Nabooru when she retires!"

Zelda stood dumbfounded, the thought of begin away from Link was painful. "Excuse me Ruto, I just remembered soothing I have to do." Zelda marched right back the way she had come. Eyes intent, "Excuse me." She said sweetly to the consultant. "Yes Zelda. Is there something else you needed?"

"Yes. I would like to talk to Nayru as soon as possible."

The consultant eyed Zelda, "It isn't like you can just waltz right in and ask for that. Nayru is very busy. How long would it take?"

"Less than five minutes, it deals with my charge and I."

The clerk nodded, and checked her schedule; "Nayru will be able to see you on her break. I don't think she will mind. In about five minutes."

"Thank you."

What will I say to Nayru?

I have to be honest. I'll tell her everything. I can't be away from Link.

Naryu sat next to a fountain. Her eyes closed, Zelda's turmoil was so pronounced that Naryu knew before Zelda even made her report. That was the reason she was here. Naryu could picture Zelda entering and kneeling down. Patiently waiting for permission to speck to her Lady.

After a few minutes of waiting Zelda shifted her weight mindful of her mistress. Reminding that even if she had entered without permission but that her mistress had to at least acknowledge her presence.

Nayru kept her eyes closed, but spoke in a deep regal tone, "You wish to stay. This is not possible."

"I am fully aware of that my mistress. The output on an angel constantly on earth for such a length of time, would be…" Zelda trailed off softly.

"Do you fully understand the rules as to why there are such prohibition upon any extended stay?"

Zelda nodded silently. Her heart rising, maybe it was possible?

Naryu sighed, then opened her eyes, "If it were for such a purely dutiful motive I would have allowed it."

Zelda's heart took a steep nosedive. Her throat was suddenly dry. Naryu had guessed correctly.

"I would have dealt with the repercussions myself." Naryu pinned Zelda in place.

"I had already considered this. You will return to the hero to say your farewells. I simply cannot allow a union between an angel and the hero. The repercussions will be enormous."

"But my Lady!" The pleading words were out of Zelda's mouth before she knew what she had done.

Naryu's eyes narrowed instantly. "Perhaps I misjudged your level of emotional commitment. Nabooru."

A fire-clad woman appeared, she was strongly built. And avoided looking at the now distraught Zelda. "Yes my Lady."

"Put Zelda under surveillance, under no circumstances is she to go back to hyrule. Then call Saria and send her to guard the hero. Zelda will not be avaible for some time. Tell Saria to express our apology for the inconvenience."

"Yes my Lady."

"You are dismissed Zelda until I speak with my sisters on the matter. Until this issue is resolved you are forbidden from going to earth or seeing the hero."

Zelda blinked back her tears. Before rising silently to accompany Nabooru.

When the door closed behind the pair, Naryu put her head in her hands, holding back her own tears.

"I don't understand why you did that." Forore's's voice was disapproving.

"An angel and human cannot be together." Naryu answered hollowly.

"Is their any chance?" Forore asked hopefully.

Naryu started to shake with suppressed grief. Forore walked over and rubbed her back comfortingly, but refusing to let the issue drop, "Can they?" She insisted quietly.

"Perhaps."

"I'll call Nabooru and Din."

"Just Din for now. Zelda may be in shock, but Nabooru can restrain her while I'm occupied. We just might be able to find a few loopholes, or break a few rules."

Forore turned suspicious, "Who are you and what have you done to by rule abiding sister?"
