I know, I know. I said that I was going to post a lot but its not my fault! Fanfiction was being mean and wouldn't let me post or edit my story, I was so excited when it worked today! Thanks for the reviews so far they are encouraging!

Because of this chapter I relized that my climax changed... I had to redo my summary and this story is going to be longer than I first thought... Well if you guys have any suggestions once so ever (besides writing more, miss Dinosour!) PLEASE do not hesitate to tell me!

I don't own the Legend of Zelda!


He flashed me a charming smile before sitting before me. I couldn't breathe and I felt like I was going to pass out again. I closed my eyes trying to shake off the sudden dizziness, "Are you alright Acandia?" Mufasa asked. "You look… Sick?"

I nodded, "I don't feel very well."

"Why did you come back?" he asked quietly.

"I couldn't bear living a lie any longer. What I was doing was hurting the Royal Family, and more importantly I felt like I was giving up on saving Hyrule! Sitting around all day doesn't help to still those thoughts Mufasa!" I started shouting at him.

He held his hands up for surrender, "Calm down, I understand. You might have even thought I betrayed you, or failed. I lost track of time to tell you the truth. I never would have imagined that Zelda-"

"DON'T!" I yelled starting to cry again. I dropped my head and began wailing at the top of my lungs. I was barley aware of the pair of arms wrapping around me.

After I calmed down I was shaking and whimpered, "I can't stand using her name. I had disappointed her too badly. I betrayed my very existence for my own stupid thoughts. I'm so sorry, but I won't give Kovu away either."

He removed his arms from around me and made me face him, "I don't expect you to. I don't want you to either. I will save you from being sentenced by… Link." I cringed when he said his name but I nodded. "Now as I was saying, the Queen remembered me even though it was her ancestor! She really must be the reincarnated form of the one I spent my days with as a youth. She told me she doesn't hate you, she is very afraid for you. She doesn't know why you did this, but she can only hope that you will get a fair trial and whatever you're doing you stay safe. She doesn't care most of all she'll forgive you!"

I looked up at Mufasa's soft caring expression on such a large man and smiled and laughed, almost cruelly, "All this time I thought that I had betrayed her."

He sighed in relief that I wasn't going to cry again and hugged me for a last time, "I have to go inform them that you are awake; don't worry I will get you out of this!" Mufasa turned and left my cell locking me in my new cage.

I heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching my cell and I fell out of my sleepiness. I saw the shadow of three people, two men and a woman. I froze; I would finally see them again. This time though I would be seen as a traitor.

I saw the Queen first and she looked older, more regal, and of course still beautiful. The King came next looking like a King if ever I saw one; with Mufasa bringing up the rear.

"You're Majesties," I whispered bowing my head to them.

"We are alone Acandia; I have known you longer than that. What I want to know is why you did what you did," The Queen said from outside my cell.

I looked up at her face that I found similar to my own, "Isn't it obvious? I love him."

"He doesn't love you! He is incapable of love! I'm trying to help you out Acandia, let me!" screamed Link.

"L-Link, why are you so set on him being evil? He didn't want to do all those things he did!" I screamed back the slight stutter at his name barely noticeable.

He looked away and furrowed his eyebrows, "Dark is everything I was afraid of becoming. Finally meeting him scared me. I thought I was going to become a ruthless murderer just like him. He told me we were the same, because we both killed."

I looked up at him confused as his Queen placed a hand on his shoulder, "Link thought that Dark meant that Link was a cold blooded killer also."

"Navi helped me figure out that he took satisfaction in each kill, he enjoyed the killing. I also took satisfaction in each kill, but I never wanted to kill. I always knew that with each enemy slain I was one step closer to saving Hyrule," Link admitted.

"Kovu didn't mean that at all; what he meant was that he didn't want to kill just like you! Can't you see it?" I yelled.

"Calm down," Mufasa warned opening my cell and placing a hand on my shoulder.

I slowed my rapid breathing and nodded. "Acandia, I am sorry for acting so rude all those years ago with you and Dark. It's very hard for me to forgive what he has done in the past," Link said.

I smiled, "Its fine, but his has not even been our first priority. I want to leave Kovu out of it so you can't let it out that I'm back, just like Mufasa, understand?"

"If that's what you want Acandia. Do you have any leads whatsoever on the evil?" Zelda asked curiously. I shook my head, she nodded understanding. "I'll let you out now, and you will work for the council finding the evil." I nodded and Mufasa released me of my chains. I rubbed my wrists' absent mindedly.

"You alright Acandia?" Mufasa asked.

"Yes, we have to finish our job! For Hyrule!" I said enthusiastic.

"Council men, please listen to us. Acandia will be pardoned of all charges of treason as will Dark or as he is otherwise called Kovu. You will have no choice in this matter, she will be hunting down an unseen enemy along with Mufasa," Zelda explained to the council in the emergency meeting.

"How do we know we can trust them?" the head advisor asked, as he always questioned everything Zelda did.

"Your King agrees' and he is the Hero of Time if you recall. Your Queen was also believed to be the Princess of Destiny; their first priority is to Hyrule. They will do whatever is necessary for Hyrule's sake and this is necessary," Mufasa said half asleep.

"I still don't see how we can trust this… Traitor," he hissed at me.

"I have done nothing before to reason that I had committed treason and I have even helped defeat the King of Darkness, Ganondorf," I growled back.

He glared daggers at me but remained silent. "You may go now Acandia, and no one is to tell anyone about her. Understood?" Zelda asked.

"Understood," everyone agreed.

I nodded to Mufasa and we left the council room.
