I'm updating so much! Yay!
"Athina! Athina!" I heard someone yell at me, "Ugh! Why don't you ever answer to your new name! Acandia!" I flew up in bed at the use of my name thinking I've been caught. I turned and saw Kovu, "I'm leaving for patrol, you told me to tell you before I left."
I nodded remembering the conversation from last night. I stretched before hugging Kovu goodbye. He pecked me on the lips and I smiled at him waving goodbye. I sighed before falling back onto the bed. We had finally bought ourselves a proper and nice place.
Over the last six years I've still kept myself fit by training myself in Hyrule field. Mufasa hasn't talked to us since leaving us with our disguises and I can't help but feel betrayed by him. We can't come out of hiding and I can't make the wish for my keeping evil at bay. Kovu has made me see a different side from that though; he thinks I should wish for Hyrule to remain at peace. I think he might be right on this, if I do become immortal I could become like Ganondorf. Kovu said he would protect me from that happening and so far it has worked.
I can't stand much more of waiting though; come of late I have been thinking more and more of the Queen and King, and their new twins. I can't stand to say their names anymore, and Mufasa hasn't even been rumored of.
I shook my head to clear it of all thoughts, "I have to get out of here. I can't keep lying!" I got up and wrote Kovu a last letter:
Dear Kovu,
I have had the happiest time of my life with you, but I must leave now. My first duty as a Sheikah is to protect the Royal Family. Now more than ever since the new little prince and princess I want you to stay hidden. I will keep this all a secret, and I will save Hyrule from future evils. After I do this maybe we can leave together; I think it has come apparent that there is no way to stop the King; he is the Ancient Hero of Legend after all. I don't blame you if you want to leave me behind, but if you try to come after me I'll never forgive you. Stay safe.
With Love,
~Acandia~
I let out a shaky breath wiping the tears off my face. I put the letter on the nightstand where I always leave letters to let him know I'll be late. I looked at my old face in the mirror, my red eyes gleamed bright as ever and my hair resembled that of the Royal Family. I grabbed my old cloak put it on and left for the castle. The guards had stopped looking so desperately for Kovu and me but we still faced a slight threat.
As I approached the castle I climbed up a row of vines, ran to the one of the guard's outpost and jumped down. As I ran up the path I heard Kovu complaining and froze. He was walking towards me so I bolted through the Castle's front garden path. I quickly climbed up the wall and jumped into the moat. I made my way through that and climbed out running to the back way into the secret Royal Gardens.
I snuck through all of the guards and met my goal at Zelda's old garden. I walked in there expecting to find myself alone but I found a little girl sitting in the middle of a bundle of flowers. I froze looking at her reminded me of her mother tears started to fall immediately.
She heard me start to cry and looked worried, "Hello? Why are you crying?"
I smiled at her wiping away the tears and sitting by her, "You look just like your mother when she was a young girl."
She looked at me curiously with her father's eyes and hair, "You knew my mother when she was little?"
"We were the best of friends. I knew your father too. He's a great man," I answered her softly.
"What's your name?" she questioned once again.
"Acandia," I whispered.
Her eyes widened suddenly but she remained clam, "You're wanted by my father for treason. If you were such good friends with them then why did you betray Hyrule? A better question is why you betrayed the Royal Family, you're a Sheikah?"
"I fell in love with a slave of the Prince of Darkness. Your father wouldn't leave him be and demanded that he be killed. I refused to let him, and he promised to meet me for a final fair fight on the battle field. He thought I was the evil trying to endanger Hyrule," I explained the young Princess of six.
"You don't expect me to believe you either… My mother told me about you; she didn't say her own opinion and didn't talk about it for very long before leaving the room hurriedly looking very sad," the Princess analyzed the situation.
"SISTER?" yelled someone from behind me. I turned to see a little boy the Princess' age with the lightest blonde hair and deep blue eyes, "Who is this?"
"Brother, this is Acandia. Please don't tell father! She needs our help," the Princess pleaded for me.
I shook my head and stood, "No, it is quite alright. I came here to turn myself in. Excuse me you highness'. I ran for the inside of the castle. It was Sunday so everyone important was in the council room, might as well go there to turn myself in.
I looked at the door, right now the guards were in-between shifts and it was left unsupervised. Taking a deep breath I slammed open the door to the council room and everyone jumped looking at me. A long silence filled the room. I couldn't meet the Royal Family's gazes so I looked at the door ashamed. I felt a pair of hands lock onto my shoulders and shake me but I just stood their squeezing my eyes shut so I wouldn't cry anymore. The voices became a blur and I lost consciousness.
I opened my eyes feeling stiff and sore. I tried to stretch but found myself chained to the wall. I sighed in relief to find myself alone in the dungeons of the castle. "Good, you're awake," I heard a deep voice say. I looked in shock around and finally saw a pair of red eyes in the corner of my cell. I squinted, my eyes trying to see them better but couldn't, shadow covered every inch of them. He chuckled before stepping into the light I gasped slightly at his sight.
"Mufasa."
Dun Dun Dun! Yay cliffhanger! I'll update soon again so please review!
