Chapter 16: Let the Two Kingdoms Unite!

The morning light has finally arrived after Ganondorf's fearful storm had died down upon his great fall.

At that very same time, Hoshimi, her siblings, Hikaru, and Shadow Link reappeared to the surface as the water glittered under the golden light of the sunrise. They were near the shoreline, next to a rock as they looked over at the beach, where they found Shining Link, who had already fainted from the battle he fought alongside with them. They were quite sure he'll be okay by the arrival of dawn. But now, it seems he's not awake yet. Also, all of that fighting and swimming made him feel very weak, down to the bone.

Worried about his current condition, Hoshimi swam over to the beach. Once she's at the water's edge, she scooted up to her tired prince. When she finally reached him, she stared at his face at first. His eyes were closed and she couldn't even tell if he's unconscious or exhausted. She caressed his cheek and from the touch, she can tell that he's still alive, thankfully.

As she traced her fingers through his light platinum blonde hair, a sad thought struck her mind. She even let out a slight sigh. She already had her chance to show him her love, while living in Hyrule for three days. Although it's all a trick by an evil wizard. She had also won his affection, so that he will deserve hers in return. Most of her high hopes were fulfilled. But, now that she has changed back to her true form, as a Mer-Hylian, what is she going to hope for now? She didn't want to leave his side. She couldn't bear to part with him forever and ever. The only thing she ever wanted is to be near him and around him, always.

Watching their sister embracing her battle weary prince, Link and the rest didn't know what to do, either. Just then, Snow and Navi flew by. The Blue Fairy said to Link. "I hate to see her that way."

"So do I, Navi." The first Mer-Hylian Prince replied.

"I do too." Agreed Zelda.

"And here." So, did Blue.

"Me too." And Red.

"Yes, we all do." Vio added, lastly.

Shadow, however is watching how deep Hoshimi is feeling towards Shining Link right now. It seems like it's all becoming clear to him. Maybe he should just admit the fact that this princess isn't really charmed by him. But, by someone else. Perhaps it is best to let everything be. He then hung his head low and sighed.

Hikaru, himself is watching too. He even knows that she has deep feelings for her prince.

Link began to say. "If only there's something we can do to help her."

Before they all began to think, a familiar voice spoke to them. "I am wondering the exact same thing, my children."

They all looked behind them and they couldn't believe their eyes! "Father!" They all exclaimed for they saw their father, the King alive and well from being a stone statue for a while! They all hurried over to him to embrace him!

Shadow is the only one who didn't swim over because, all he can do is watch, solemnly. His ex-master have never shown him that kind of love.

The Spirit of the Stars, however is smiling because he also watched over the family too. He is relieved to see the King reunited with his children.

Also, next to the King are Shrakah, Keir, and the Six Maidens!

After embracing his children, Thor asked them. "Where have you all been? The entire kingdom of the sea was worried about you."

Link answered him. "We were keeping an eye on Hoshimi while she's visiting her love, the Prince of Hyrule."

"And after that. . ." Added Zelda. "We fought and defeated Ganondorf, alongside with the prince to save you. He's the one who helped you."

As his children gestured over to their younger sister and the Prince, Thor looked up ahead and saw the sight of the two. While looking closely, he can see that she is affectionate towards him, despite their differences in appearance. Now, he didn't know what to say or do. He never seen something like this before.

He looked at how Hoshimi wrapped her arms around her beloved prince and he thought about his suspicions towards him. He even thought about how much he despised Hylians throughout his years of being king. It's now becoming clear to him, that he must have mistaken all along and his own daughter has been trying to prove to him, the error of his ways. She is right and he was wrong. Now, that his sons and first daughter gave him out the fact that this Hylian Prince saved his life along with his youngest daughter, he will have to admit that he misjudged him.

King Thor sighed. Then, he turned to the Blue Maiden and asked. "She is really in love with him. Isn't she?"

She observed the two and replied. "Well, by the looks of it, I believe your daughter is trying to prove something to you, your majesty. If loving him forever is truly her happiness and it's what her heart tells her, then she shall follow it as long as she listens to it. It's always good to have your children decide for themselves and a forced decision from their elders won't do any good. It's like I told you before. If you were to ever be too strict with her, then you will definitely lose absolute control."

Thor shifted his eyebrow and asked her again. "You always said that from the very beginning until now?"

She only chuckled. "Well, you can't really hold on to her forever. You'll never know for when she has grown up, you'll soon have to let her go."

The questioned King looked over to his children and gave them his questioned look. After receiving their nods as their answer, he made another sigh. "Well. . . . If it's true, then I guess there's one more thing left to wonder about her."

"What is it, your majesty?" All Six Maidens asked him.

Thor looked over at them and gave them his answer slowly. "How much I'm going to miss the daughter I've raised so much."

Then, Hikaru chimed in. "I guess you have understood everything."

The King turned to see him and is also surprised to see him. "Hikaru?"

He nodded and asked him. "Do you really think it will be wise to shelter your daughter, fiercely for all these years?"

He lowered his head a bit and answered. "I've already realized what I've been doing. If I were to continue doing that, I'll never know what I had, until I lost it."

This made Hikaru smile and bowed. "Very well put, your majesty. And now, I'm going to help you too." He went over to the mermaid next to her prince and smiled at her. Then, he pulled out his own ocarina and played the melody of her family's lullaby.

Once that's done, a golden light descended from the heavens and Hoshimi looked up! Then, suddenly, three colored lights came down! Those lights are red, blue, and green! They appeared before Hoshimi and they revealed themselves in their true forms! When this happened, Hoshimi gasped! "Oh!" Standing before her are the Three Goddesses of Hyrule in person! They are wearing clothes that match the trademark colors of their hair! "Din! Naryu! And Farore!" She immediately bowed her head.

The King, Hoshimi's siblings, Hikaru, the Six Maidens, and the Mer-Sheikah brothers also bowed their heads. Even Shadow Link did the same.

Din spoke to Hoshimi. "Dear Princess of Hylia, Hoshimi. Your task of eliminating Ganondorf from his existence is successfully fulfilled. When we saw your struggle to retrieve your half of the first Triforce, we can see that you are even willing to give up your life to save your family and the one you loved. You are rightfully given the will to lead the two kingdoms with the correct power that is instructed for peace. Why, you will even do it with the magic knife you have in your possession."

While listening to her righteous words, Hoshimi pulled out the knife and stared at it as she held it in her hands. She never knew that it was her destiny to destroy Ganondorf for the Triforce of Power, until now .

Din continued. "In return for winning the battle against the traitor who committed a treacherous crime against us, we will grant you the happiness you've suffered so much for. The will to live with Prince Shining Link of Hyrule forever."

"But how?" She asked her. "I'm already back to being a Mer-Hylian again. I'm afraid there's no other option for going back to the joy I've experienced for a short while."

Naryu tilted the princess' chin up and smiled. "There is another option and it's not just us who will bring that joy back to you." She turned over to her father, the King of Hylia, for she is referring to him.

Hoshimi looked over and saw him after she blinked.

Then, Naryu caused the water upon the beach to carry the Princess' family and friends over to meet her.

Hoshimi met up with her father and looked at him with unsure eyes.

Then, the King slowly asked her. "So, this is where you've been, Hoshimi?"

"Yes." She answered.

"And you let Ganondorf turn you into a Hylian, just to meet that boy?"

"Yes."

Then, he smiled. "But, goodness, am I so proud of you for eliminating that wizard and saving me."

Well, Hoshimi felt a little bit good to hear him saying that. But, she frowned and said to him. "Father, I'm so sorry for swimming off. I shouldn't have swam over to that warlock to have my wish granted. You see, after the grotto situation, I don't know who or where else to turn. Above all, I'm sorry for. . . ."

Before she can say anything else, her father laid his hand on her shoulder and told her. "No, no, no. Don't blame yourself, dear. I'm the one who should be sorry."

"What?" She looked up to him in surprise. "You are?"

"Yes." He nodded. "It wasn't fair for me to be so hard on you and making you feel that way. You see, to tell you the truth, I lied to you about the dangers between our world and this one, here. Your mother didn't pass on due to a natural accident. Here's what really happened. After when Ganondorf almost used you, a few years back then, he did act against me. But, before he can do anything to me, your mother stepped in and tried to strangle him by using her spirit power. She used a heaping amount of it, knowing that she'll perish in the process. But, it is the only way to give him a penalty for acting against me. You see, I warned her about that maneuver, for it was too dangerous. But, as she unleashed her power upon him, this is what she told me. She said there is no other way aside from it. After punishing that demon with a good injury on his shoulders, she made a brief good bye to me. As she disappeared into sea foam, she told me to look after you and your siblings. And, all that was left of her was the Pearl of Din, which she wore around her neck. That's what really happened to her, before I banished that dreadful wizard to the abyss."

He then lowered his head as he held her by the shoulder. "I have been a foolish father. After the mourning period for her, I made that ban. I did that because I was fearing that if you were to ever meet someone like him, the same thing might happen to you. Ever since she was gone, you have been my favorite daughter. You know, you look so much like her in her youth."

However, after being still for a short moment, Hoshimi just showed him a small smile. She said. "Yes. I knew it was a lie."

The King looked at his daughter skeptically. "You do?"

She nodded. "As you can see, I do know what happened to her. I even felt very sorry for her as much as you do. Father, I do miss her. . . very much." She is saying that she understands him, now. "What you said is the real thing. But, everything ended in the opposite way. Ganondorf did tried to take my life. However, with the magic knife I have in my hands, I really bring him to his knees." Then, she opened her hands and she softly commanded. "Din's Fire." A flame came out of her hands and it formed a red orange heart in front of him.

Thor stared at her magic.

Then, Din told him. "It's a sign, showing that you're forgiven."
After this, although there are tears in his eyes, King Thor caressed her cheek once more. "You know? I believe I was having my own eyes shut so tightly, I didn't bear to notice how strong you have become."

Hoshimi smiled at her father warmly, before placing her hand on his. "Thanks, father."

Link, his siblings, the Mer-Sheikah brothers, and the Six Maidens all smiled for that heart warming moment. Even, Shadow is curious about it.

Din, Naryu, and Farore looked at each other and nodded to each other. Next, they turned to the King and he nodded at them too. Then, with their power and while Hoshimi is still sitting in the water of their small magic tide, they replaced her white tail with legs again! That way, she can stay as a Hylian forever!

Hoshimi looked below and when she saw her white knee length pants and her feet, she smiled gratefully at them! "Oh!"

"Hoshimi, my daughter, you have my permission to live with the Prince of Hyrule. And now, I'm going to be doing something for you, that I should have done all of these days ago." The King announced. Then, he called. "Shrakah, come over here, please."

The confidante of the Royal Mer-Hylian family appeared next to him.

Next, the King said to him. "Shrakah, I think we all know who rightfully deserves the Pearl of Din."

He smiled and pulled the red pendant out. "I couldn't agree more, your majesty!"

Then, Link called out! "Let's hear it for Hoshimi!"

With that, everyone cheered for her.

Seeing how everyone is so happy for her, Hoshimi wasn't sure if this is real or not. But, she can see that Shrakah is giving it to Thor, first.

She looked at it once more before asking her father. "Is. . . Is it really for me, father?"

He chuckled. Then he placed the pendant around her neck with a loving smile. "Only the best for my favorite daughter. . ."

She held it with her fingers and then, looked at how she looks on the water. She looked magnificent with it!

The King spoke once more. "It suits you, well."

Now, Hoshimi did not know what to say. "Oh! Oh. . . ! Thank you!"

"Come now." Naryu said to Hoshimi as she took her over to the Prince, who's still unconscious. Din, and Farore also walked over to him with them. Even Hikaru.

Hoshimi kneeled down and caressed his cheek again. She even held his hand in hers.

Din spoke to her. "It does look like he isn't recovering from his exhaustion yet. You do want him to be in perfect health again, right?"

Hoshimi looked up to her and her godly sisters. "I do."

Farore approached to her. "Well, thanks to your successful duty of delivering the two Kingdoms out of Ganondorf's wrathful grasp. . . ." She began to use her magic to create something. "We are willing to give you this." When she's done, her hands showed Hoshimi a wonderfully gorgeous platinum white flower, dusted with glitter on its petals. In the middle of its pollen, there's a small pool of shining liquid.

"Oh!" Everyone was amazed. Including, Hoshimi.

The Goddess of Courage told the princess. "This, Hoshimi, is the Friendship Lily. It holds an infinite amount of life energy to the weary." Then, she gave it to her. "Here, give its nectar to your prince."

Now, as she held the flower in her hands, she took a sip of the nectar and held it in her mouth. Then, she brought the Shining Link's face up to hers. She placed her lips upon his and let the nectar flow into his mouth, so that he'll swallow it into his throat.

After pulling her face away, she can see that his eyelids were trembling at first.

Then Shining Link groaned softly as he slowly woke up. His fatigue is gone and he's back to perfect health when he sat up by the aid of Hoshimi's arm. "Oh. . . ."

Happy and relieved that he's all right, Hoshimi smiled as her eyes began to fill with a bit of tears of joy. "Oh! Thank goodness, it worked! You're okay!"

Shining Link looked at her. "Oh, Hoshimi. You. . . You saved me again. . ."

She smiled at him. "Actually, we saved each other."

He chuckled as he stood up with her. He even noticed her new form. "You're. . . You're a Hylian again."

"Yes, yes. Thank you so much for defeating Ganondorf and saving my father with me and my siblings." She said while hugging him.

"And thank you for bringing me back to my consciousness." He replied as he hugged her back.

While watching the two embracing, Shadow took a small look at first. Then, he turned his saddened gaze away.

After the hug, she told her prince. "Well, you should thank the Goddesses, too. They're the ones who helped me revive you and brought their aid to our battle by summoning Hikaru."

Shining Link saw them and kneeled down to bow his head. "Din, Naryu, and Farore. I do not know how are we going to repay you for coming onto us in our time of need."

Din replied. "There is no charge for your wonderful deed of saving Hyrule and Hylia from peril, thanks to your strong love and courage for one another. But, we will be watching your union from afar." She and the other two goddesses are now getting ready to depart for the heavens.

Hikaru walked over to them, for he is going to leave too. His job is done for now. Before he reunites with the goddesses, he looked back toward Hoshimi and her Prince, and said. "Prince of Hyrule, I will also congratulate you and the Princess of Hylia for bringing Ganondorf to his downfall. However, in return, you must take good care of each other." Then, he bowed and continued to make his way to the goddesses.

"Thank you, Hikaru: The Spirit of the Stars." Hoshimi said to him.

As the light extended from the clouds for them to depart, Din smiled and spoke once more. "Good bye, Shining Link, Hoshimi, Shadow, and Ruling Family of Hylia! Fare thee well!" With that, she, Naryu, Farore, and Hikaru made their way back to their home in the clouds.

Then, Hoshimi called out. "Bid thee farewell too, Goddesses of Hyrule! And thank you!"

"Hoshimi." Link called out to her.

She went over to him. "Yes, brother Link?"

"You know what?" He began saying. "You really came a long way. Great work."

"Yeah." She nodded.

With that, Link began to applaud with his hands. Then it was followed by his brothers, his sister, the maidens, the Mer-Sheikah, and the King. Even the two fairies were clapping too.

Hoshimi didn't know what is happening until she turned around to hear Shining Link clapping for her too.

Shadow didn't know what to do at first. But he decided to join in.

Hoshimi cannot believe this. This applause meant one thing. Everything she had done is actually the right thing. It was all a mission to eliminate the wicked wizard from this world.

Just when Hoshimi is about to have a bit of delight in herself, Shining Link came to her and took her hand. When she turned to meet him, eye to eye, he wrapped his arms around her to embrace her.

She did the same for she has never been this happy.

After clapping, Snow turned to Navi. "You know what? I think we are going to be celebrating a wedding that no one has ever seen before!"

"I agree!" Replied the blue fairy!

Then, they both cheered. "Yay!"

Later on, in the early afternoon, it has been done! On the same royal wedding ship from the day before, two crowns were placed upon the heads of the newlywed couple! Prince Shining Link and Princess Hoshimi are finally married!

After the crowning of the two lovers, King Phoebus called out to the guests. "My people! The Three Heavenly Goddesses are now smiling down upon the couple you are now witnessing! Both: the Kingdom of Hyrule and the Kingdom of the Great Sea, Hylia will unite peacefully on this day! Thanks to the bravery and courage that has been displayed by my son and the daughter of our new friend!"

Everyone on board are cheering happily for this announcement!

Then, the king made his final announcement. "And now, it's time for the celebration to begin!"

With that said, everyone cheered and applaud greatly as the couple walked down from the altar.

Among this celebration, King Phoebus and Queen Raina looked at each other with a smile, and nodded. Why, even Sheik, Liliana, and Erune were happy too. Snow, who is with Erune, looked at the happy couple for a second, then she started to cry with joy! Of course, even Julius, the Cuckoo farmer is invited to the party with one of his birds.

When the happy news was spread throughout Hyrule, everyone in Castle Town began celebrating at their own festival. So did the Gorons in their city among Death Mountain, the tribes in the Hylian Forests, and the villagers and Sheikah tribe in the Kakiriko Village!

Well, they aren't the only ones who are celebrating this marriage. There's also the Zoras and the Mer-Hylian Kingdom who are getting a really good glimpse of Hoshimi and Shining Link from below the ship. There are even platforms among the sides of the ship so that the Hylian people can communicate with them.

That's because, before the wedding, King Thor and King Phoebus signed a treaty of peace and unity. Thus, erasing the ban from Hylia. Thor's kingdom would also be under the protection of the Hylian kingdom if they were ever in danger.

Hoshimi looked down at her people from on the deck of the ship. She is smiling brightly for she can see her family down there.

Link and Zelda are waving at her from below.

"We'll be thinking about you, Hoshimi!" Her sister called out.

"Take great care of yourself, younger sister!" Said the first prince, also.

"I will, Link! You and Zelda can count on me! I'll surely visit you whenever I can!" She answered them.

Blue also called out. "I'm wishing you two love birds a happy life, together!"

Shining Link raised his eyebrow. "Love Birds?"

Hoshimi chuckled. "Oh, forgive him. He's sometimes like that." She told him before answering her third brother. "You should know that I always love you, Blue!"

Then, she looked out and saw the Six Maidens, Shrakah, and Keir waving too her. "We'll see you soon, Hoshimi!" They said in unison.

"I'm going to miss all of you, so much!" While waving back at them, she saw that they have their own fairies too, along with Navi. As they all flew up to meet her, she said. "Well, now! If it isn't, Emerald, Ruby, Amethyst, and. . . Uh. . . Who are you. . . ? Oh! Yes! Topaz! You all came!"

Topaz, the Yellow Maiden's fairy replied. "We heard news from Navi, so we came to join the party!"

"Thank you all for coming!" She said before they fly back to their mistresses.

"Congratulations, Hoshimi!" They all said.

Shining Link shrugged. "You have a lot of people in your family."

She turned and answered. "Well, they're fairies of my family nursemaids."

"Hoshimi!" When she heard her name called again. She looked out and she knows whose voice it is. It's Vio's.

He said to her. "I'm just wanting to let you know this! Even if you're away from us, we'll always be there for you!"

"I'll appreciate that! Thank you, Vio! And take care!" She answered. She really loved her family.

After Red waved a bit before turning to ask the Red Maiden. "Excuse me, Red Maiden? Can you give me a hand, so that I can really say good bye to Hoshimi?"

She nodded. Then, she took the young prince in her arms and used her magic to make the water take her and him up to the rail of the deck. Just at the right height for him to see her. "There you go."

Hoshimi smiled and gave Red a kiss on the cheek.

While smiling warmly and having a small urge to cry, he asked his dear sister. "Good bye, Hoshimi. . . . . Am I still your brother?"

She chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Always, Red. You'll always be my brother while I'll always be your sister."

After giving her a quick hug, Red said to the maiden, who took him back to the water. "Thank you, Red Maiden!"

"You're welcome, Prince Red." She answered.

He turned to Vio and asked. "I'm sure going to miss Hoshimi. Aren't you, Vio?"

His brother just smiled at him. "I'm absolutely positive, Red. I am going to miss her."

"We all are." Answered Link too.

Shadow was watching everything from afar. He may not mingle in any how. Perhaps it's best to leave it at that. Before he can turn around, he said softly as he looked at the happy princess. "Congratulations, Hoshimi. You're going to be one lovely queen."

As he was about to go away, he was drawn over to the rail by Hoshimi's Naryu's Love with the water. He was surprised about this as he met up with Hoshimi.

While having her Naryu's Love active, she smiled at him. "It looks like you have nowhere else to go."

He sighed. "Well, that wizard did betray me. I suppose I might not be able to fit in among your people. I am a monster, you know."

"No, you're not." She shook her head. "You're are always welcomed to be a friend of us."

He looked up at her with uncertain eyes. "You really think so? Even though you're not interested in me?"

"I am interested. . . . Only as a friend." She answered. "You're no shadow, Shadow Link. You are a being of a good heart and a strong spirit. When you helped me out in that battle, I always know there is some good in you. So, would you like to be a . . ."

"Hoshimi!" Blue said out loud, interrupting her. He is watching this along with everyone else.

"Don't start on that, please!" She said to him, sternly. Then she looked back at the shadowy Link. "As I was saying. Shadow Link? Would you like to be part of the family of Hylia?"

Shadow blinked. He didn't know what to say. Then, he gave out his answer. "Well. . . . I guess, it wouldn't hurt. . . But, are you sure it's all right?"

Hoshimi just hugged him. "It is all right. You did well back there. I don't want you to be lost. I only want you to be a friend to us, now. You're just like my brothers too, you know. I may not be the one for you. But, I'll love you as another brother."

Shadow blinked at what she was doing. He's been in love with her. But, she is loving him as a brother? Maybe it would be enough for him to afford. He took a small look at Shining Link who is giving him a calm look in the eyes. Then, he asked her. "You really want me as another one of your brothers?"

"Yes." She answered, softly.

"And you really loved your prince as much as he loves you?" He asked again.

"Yes. . ."

After she let go of him, she noticed that her father is coming up to her from the water with his magic. She asked him. "So, do you think it will be all right for him to be a part of our family? Now that he's not with a wizard anymore?"

He answered proudly with a smile. "I think it's a wonderful idea." He turned to the purple haired boy and said. "Shadow Link, you are now welcomed to us, as Prince Shadow of Hylia."

When that's said, all of the Mer-Hylian people cheered.

Shadow could scarcely believe his eyes. At first, they all despised him. But now, it's all changed, thanks to Hoshimi. He turned back to her and said. "I am happy for what you have done for me. But, you will have to let Shining Link take great care of you."

"I will." She said before placing her hand on his cheek. "And, thank you. You do have a tender heart." Then, she placed a small kiss on his forehead.

Now, Shadow has never felt so happy in all of his life as he was brought down to the sea. It is a kiss on the forehead. But, it's all he needs for now. He now knows that Hoshimi can trust him. Then, he notices that Link, Vio, Red, Blue, Zelda, the two Mer-Sheikah, and the maidens are gathering around him.

"Welcome to the family!" Link announced proudly.

Then Blue began to say. "If you were to do anything that is brash against us, I'll be holding you, personally responsible!"

"Blue?" Hoshimi called to him from above. Thus, giving him another stern look while placing her hands on her hips. "Remember what I just said!"

Well, this made him relax a bit. "Oh. . . . Okay. . ."

Thor chuckled at that. Then he turned his gaze back to Hoshimi. He caressed her cheek once more and said. "Good-bye, Hoshimi. I'm certainly going to miss you. Most of all, I am proud of seeing my youngest daughter becoming a strong willed young lady."

Gratefully touched by his soft words, Hoshimi wrapped her arms around him as he did the same. "I love you, father. . ." She said to him lovingly.

After letting go of his daughter, Thor also noticed Shining Link bowing to him, respectfully. He nodded at him, gave his daughter a pat on her shoulder, and went back to the water with his magic.

Hoshimi finally blew a farewell kiss to all of her family.

Shining Link came up to her and held her arm. Then he waved to all of the Mer-Hylian people with her.

Finally, with the wave of his trident, Thor created a stream of stardust and let it make a giant picture of the Triforce in the sky. Everyone clapped and cheered for it!

As the wedding ship began to sail off, most of the civilians of Hylia are heading back home under the sea.

Thor, the Maidens, the Mer-Sheikah Brothers, and the Royal Children however stayed up the surface to watch the boat sail off. They are going to miss their favorite family member. The one who they adore so much. The one who rid Hylia and Hyrule of Ganondorf with her prince.

And yes, Hoshimi and Shining Link looked at each other with loving eyes for a while. Then, the two shared a tender, loving kiss for they are finally together. . . at last!

The End

Link: This. . . This is very touching!

Red: (Sniff) It's almost like a fairy tale! Oh, I don't want it to end! Can we go back to chapter one and do it all over again, Kaoru?
