Sorry this chapter is going to be short, but I just wanted to get this chapter out of the way for the next one~
I don't own the Legend of Zelda
I was frozen, I couldn't breathe. The man who inherited such a sense of justice wanted absolute power; I had long since learned that you can't have the ambition for absolute power without absolute corruption. I was disgusted at such an honorable man who wanted nothing but more power, and also angry at myself for mentioning the Triforce in the first place. Now I would never get Link to trust me enough to clear Kovu's name.
"Well are you going to give it up easily, or will I have to fight you?" Mufasa asked still relaxed but sitting against the wall.
Emotion swirled around within me as tears threatened to show. My breathing was quick and uneven; I couldn't keep control of this much longer.
"Why do you want it? You're already immortal," Kovu said as though he was talking to a piece of dirt on his shoes.
Mufasa sighed heavily, "When Ganon's horror came to Hyrule before I shut myself off in the well I was Princess Zelda's second body guard, after my little brother. That didn't matter though I'd protect her with my life and still will. With the Triforce I could end all of the suffering that Ganon has caused her."
I couldn't turn away the tears anymore, but I was in awe of the motive behind his action, "I've known the Princess since we were both little children; I have the Triforce for that exact reason and have tried to make the wish to better her. The Goddesses said that they needed Hyrule to be fully purified before they will allow the wish to be granted."
"The Goddesses have blessed you with their voice?" he said taken aback.
I nodded no longer angered but needed to be patient so I can continue on the path of the Goddesses, "More than once."
"I was mistaken then, my apologies. I will help you with whatever you want; it doesn't matter to me who does the wishing as long as she is safe and happy," he said solemnly.
"We will go through with the plan then so we can start fighting whatever evil is lurking in the unseen instead of each other," I advised slowly.
"Sounds good, but what are we going to do while Mr. Man of Truth over there is proving himself?" Kovu asked clearly tired.
"We can hide in an empty guard post in Hyrule Castle Town and when Mufasa has gained their trust he will signal us so when he does; unless something happens and is in the way then he will alert us of that so we can rethink a new plan," I said holding back a yawn.
Kovu draped a cloak over my shoulders and laid down on his back, "We'll go tomorrow, Mufasa will be like a disguise; they are only looking for Sheikah man and woman, not two men after all."
Mufasa nodded, but looked over at me. His thoughts were not shown on his face, and the light flickering across his face didn't help show his thoughts. He spoke about protecting Zelda so passionately; he even wanted to sacrifice all of the wonders of life for her like me.
"Please, I'm not immortal nor do I wish to be but I know you're going to try and wish for a way to protect Hyrule forever. That was Zelda's and Link's point of existence, it would be better to wish for Hyrule's peace," Mufasa whispered quietly.
"All peace comes to an end, but I do admire your loyalty to Zelda. It seems like you want more than to protect her though, do you love her?" I asked eagerly.
He looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding, "Yes, but not in that way. I always thought of her as a little sister. My little brother thought of her the same way, but I think he had children of his own and a pretty little wife."
"I know his descendant, she is my aunt Impa."
He laughed harshly, "His name was Impe. But that only leads to question who your ancestors are?"
"I don't know, she wouldn't show me the family documents," I said sadly.
Mufasa looked troubled but shook his head at that thought, "Go to sleep." He laid down with his back turned to Kovu and I. I curled into a ball by Kovu who pulled me closer to him, his heart beat lulled me to sleep.
See, Mufasa wasn't really evil! I decided that he was too good to be evil, oh well hope you liked it~ Please review!
