Okay, so I'll probably update more on the weekends than weekdays cause I have some projects I'm working on~

So, I don't own the legend of Zelda

"She looks better than last night. In fact she looks just fine," Link decided skeptically.

I narrowed my eyes at Link's smirk, "I am fine, and I think I was just unnerved about everything."

"Well it is still early so let's go down and get a head start at eating breakfast!" Zelda said happily.

"Why are you happy? Don't you remember that it's council meeting day?" Link asked confused.

"Acandia finally gets to go to them, I'm sure she will make some very interesting discussion." Zelda said sneakily, which just freaked me out.

"You guys go ahead I'll catch some breakfast in the servant's halls," I told heading for the door.

"Fine, but you have to promise to eat lunch with us." Zelda smiled.

I nodded and headed down through the servant's quarters, I didn't bother with breakfast. I didn't have to hide either; I exited the servant's quarters to the training grounds. A large group of men had formed and were watching intently. I snuck up closer, trying not to be seen now. Kovu was standing in the middle of the commotion apparently waiting for Captain Vincent.

All of the guards had to be here because no had challenged Captain Vincent, until now that is. The Captain is a very skilled soldier, and no man had tested his metal. Link could stand against Vincent, but there was no reason for it to ever happen.

All of the commotion stopped for a brief moment as the young Captain strode over; looking annoyed, "Fine, who has challenged me for opinion of their ranking?"

"I have, Captain," Kovu smirked.

"Is something funny, new recruit?" Vincent sneered.

"No, I didn't expect an experienced soldier would be so young. You must be good indeed," Kovu snickered.

What was he laughing at?

"Yes, let's just get on with it then," Vincent said pulling his sword from his sheath.

Kovu nodded and put his hand on his sword handle. They circled each other, waiting for the other one to strike first. Vincent decided that he had enough of this and wanted to teach this young lad a lesson so he jumped in the air; his sword ready to swing down vertically.

Within a second Kovu had his sword out and easily blocked Vincent's attack; Kovu smiled at Vincent through their locked swords and thruster Vincent's sword away. Kovu didn't spare anytime and used the hilt of his sword to hit Vincent on his jaw line. Vincent was caught off guard so Kovu took advantage of this by slamming the hilt of his sword down on Vincent's sword hand; making him drop it.

Vincent's sword slid to my feet and Kovu put his sword to Vincent's throat. I picked up his sword and walked over to where the intense battle was happening. "I think we have a winner, where would you place such a skilled soldier Vincent?" I asked with a smile

He straightened his back and grunted," I-I didn't expect you to be here General Acandia," Vincent saluted me.

"I just happened to be in the area and saw you were going to place this man," I explained.

"Yes, well this man's swordsmanship surpasses my own. I don't have any idea how to place this man, but since you saw the whole thing and you outrank me maybe you could place him?" Vincent suggested hopefully.

"No, I refuse to place this soldier." I stated seriously.

"May I ask why General?" Vincent's eyebrows furrowed.

"I didn't fight this man, and it isn't the job of a general to test a guard's ability. To me this man seems able to handle himself in an army; it is a whole different game than guarding. An army would be the offensive instead of the defensive. You will choose his position in the Hyrule Military; if you so choose. I will give you this authority," I offered.

"Yes general. I don't know much about the ranking of your armies but I think he should be a pit-dog," Vincent said slyly.

"Are you doing that so he can call for a test of his abilities that will be tested by me if he requests?" I cocked an eyebrow and crossed my arms.

"If he wanted to he could, but it doesn't matter anymore remember, you said I choose. Welcome to the Hylian Military; pit-dog," Vincent said shaking Kovu's hand.

He smiled warmly, "Why thank you for that Captain Vincent."

"Follow me pit-dog, I'll show you to your new quarters. You'll have to fight me tomorrow if you plan to," I informed him while walking to the Military quarters which are more closed off and private.

We entered a small, but private quarter. It had a bed, and that was about all it could fit. There were too many soldiers in Hyrule's army to have luxurious rooms.

"Well if this isn't depressing I don't know what is," Kovu said skeptically.

"If you plan on fighting me your best tomorrow, then you should know if you beat me I'll give you my position. If it takes you over five minutes to be beaten, I will appoint you my lieutenant," I told him sitting on the side of his bed.

"Good to know," he said leaning against the wall only a step away from the bed. "It's quite distracting having a beautiful woman on my bed by the way," he smirked.

"Are you trying to suck up to me?" I accused.

"Perhaps, perhaps I was just flirting," he wiggled his eyebrows at me.

I couldn't help but laugh, and he laughed with me, when that ended I could hold back my questions any longer. "Can you tell me about your childhood?"

Kovu looked pained by the subject coming up, "If you wish… I was taken from my Sheikah family when I was too young to remember. I think my parents were killed… I was trained in both mind and body since I could comprehend it… I learned the dance of the Gerudo, I observed the ways of the Sheikah, questioned the brute strength of the Gorons, and played with the waters that are the Zora. I don't dare find my way in the forests, and I am now seeking the wisdom of the Hylians," he said sadly. It was one of the most beautiful things I have heard in my life; even if I don't know why he doesn't want to find his way in the forests.

He sunk down the wall to sit, and I met him there. I looked straight into his eyes and saw something more; he was hurt as a child by his master that was like a father to him. Tears threated to flow but they haven't passed before and I won't let them now.

I pulled him closer to me and rested my head on his shoulder; I wanted to know more about this man. The only way to do that is sticking around for him, I had no choice now. I wanted to know about him too much…

*he he* Please Review~
