Sorry this chapter is so short~

I don't own The Legend of Zelda…. =, (

My eyes started to droop keeping watch over Kovu; he didn't stir or make a noise. The sounds of crickets were luring me to sleep, and I couldn't argue any longer…

I found myself in Hyrule's thrown room, I was sitting on it. Shadow beasts were around me waiting orders; Zelda was trapped in a spell I had made. Link rushed in; master sword in hand, "I'll kill you for what you did traitor!" Link shouted. I couldn't move; I didn't want this!

I woke with a start. Sweat clinging to my skin tight Sheikah outfit. The sun was rising over Lake Hylia slowly. Kovu was nowhere in sight, I stood up and draped the black cloak off me and onto my horse.

I approached the edge and looked down to the blue waters of Lake Hylia, I easily spotted him. The bright sun revealed his shadowy presence too easily. He was swimming in the vast waters. He looked back at me, and started to return.

He wasn't wearing a shirt still since I ripped off the one he was wearing, his body was lean and rippled with muscles; not overwhelmingly so; you could tell that he was a Sheikah. He had no signs of his past wounds, "Whatever you did I thank you for it, Acandia," Kovu said smoothly.

I looked up at his crimson eyes, "I just gave you some blue potion. It was nothing really."

"You saved my life, I owe you everything. Say it and it is yours my lady," he said getting down on one knee and bowing his head respectfully.

I didn't say anything for some time, but I had a grin plastered on my face. Finally he looked up to see my reaction; he didn't know why I was smiling. "I don't want anything from you, sir," I said.

"Well, I shall wait until you do," he said determined.

"I admire that, but the least you could do is tell me who you are, or how you got in this predicament," I said crossing my arms.

He nodded, "I was stolen from my home when I was young, raised by a horrible wizard. He cast a spell upon me that I couldn't disobey him; I did research and quickly learned that the only way to get free from him was for one of us to die. That's why I said I was finally free, he is dead."

He said the story strongly and proud, I felt a pang of sorrow run through me, "Well I'm glad I could have helped you," I said trying not to show any sign of sadness.

"Do not be sad for me, I am free and happy," he said as he stood.

"What are you going to do now, since you are free?" I asked clearly concerned.

"I have nothing nor anyone to return to. May I be of service of you? You are clearly a kind heart; it would make me happy to service someone like you. You being a Sheikah will make this hard though," he said thoughtfully.

"Ah, you can still work for me I think," I smirked.

I rode with Kovu back to the castle, he insisted on me riding on the back of the horse, so I let him. We rode through the servant's entrance; Kovu jumped off the horse in the stables and helped me get down.

"Stay here, I'll be back," I told him. He nodded and I left him to go find Zelda. Skulking through the hallways I arrived at the dining room, checking if Zelda and Link were eating breakfast.

They were, eating pancakes and laughing merrily. I approached them and bowed hastily, "Your Majesty's, I would like to be in control of Hyrule's Military. Picking my lieutenant would be more than an honor," I pleaded.

"You're the reason why we are married, it's the least we can do," Zelda said standing me up. She put her arms around me, and I was relieved that she had agreed.

"Hey! I feel left out," Link pouted.

Zelda and I laughed at Link's silliness. I bowed respectfully, "I must go now and find a worthy lieutenant." I turned to leave but Zelda caught my arm, "Can't you stay for breakfast?" She asked.

"I have some things to prepare before you announce my new role," I told her and left back to the stables.

"Took you long enough," Kovu joked while brushing Impa's horse.

"Hey, I just became the Captain of Hyrule's Military. If you want to serve me you're going to have to prove yourself. Enter training, and if you can impress the soldiers and become my lieutenant by yourself that's how you can serve me," I explained.

He nodded thoughtfully, "Next time you see me I will be the best of the best," he decided. "Good-day Captain," he said and walked away. He merged with the shadows and I could no longer see him.
