Chapter 25 already! In the beginning I thought that this story was going to be 10 chapters long! Well, that was off my plan a little bit….

Ooh, by the way… What do you think of Mufasa and Acandia… Together? I dunno its just an idea that pops into my head… Tell me what you think~

Don't own the legend of Zelda~(If I did Zelda and Link would so get married!)

Elder Vadim finished telling the story and Mufasa stared sorrowfully into my eyes, "So…. It is all my fault that Little Ti is no longer himself. I'm so sorry." I could see the tears that wanted to come and his chest rose and fell drastically.

I put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at it like he wanted it off, but he couldn't find the will to move it, "Don't be saying sorry to me, or to Hyrule. Not even to the King and Queen! I understand that you feel as though you brought him to this, but you had no way of knowing!" I tried convincing him.

He shook his head, "No. I could have heeded the young warnings of the Royal Family. Our race was prone to be power hungry on our own. That's why the Royal Family wanted to rule over us. To protect themselves, their people, and most of all… Ourselves."

I wanted to convince him otherwise; that we could survive on our own, but I agree with the Royal Family's ruling. I always have and that has just increased since I heard that story. "Look Mufasa! You couldn't have known! Vaati went corrupt because of the power, not because of you!"

"But I taught him those!" he screamed tears finally falling. He fell to the floor heavily and was still massive because of his muscle. I came down next to him and wrapped my arms around him. He leaned into me as I stoked his hair softly, rocking him back and forth. He sobbed into my shirt.

I looked up to see an empty room; they must have thought that Mufasa needed a moment. I couldn't leave him alone though. It would be worse if he was alone. If he was alone he might think that he needed to fix this by himself and get into a heap of trouble.

Mufasa's breath had slowed and he looked like he was sleeping on my chest. I still rocked and petted his hair to keep him asleep; as I knew too well Sheikah men are light sleepers.

I smiled at the sleeping image of Mufasa peaceful. He gave out a heavy sigh and I stopped moving, "You smell like…men."

I pushed him off me and he looked up innocently "What do you mean I smell like…like men?" I nearly yelled.

"Women often use fragrances to cover their scents, but you don't. You fight, and train, and stay up at all hours of the night. Men often do these things, so in conclusion, you smell like men," he said matter-of-factly.

"Just because I do things that men do doesn't mean I smell like them? I'm still a woman and-"

"I thought that you of all people would have wanted to be equal with men?" he questioned while interrupting me.

I furrowed my brows in frustration. I nearly told him how sometimes I am a bit envious at the girls who get to wear big fancy dresses while I have to sweat, work, and protect.

"I swear you're going to give me mood whiplash," I muttered.

"Now, now, I know I told you that talking under your breath is unattractive! Just before coming here too," he smirked deviously at me.

I shook my head at him and sat back up on the chair that Elder Vadim had offered us before telling us the tale. Mufasa sat down on the neighboring chair and Elder Vadim and Karin came back with tea. They both looked relived when they came into the room and Mufasa looked slightly embarrassed for losing it in front of strangers; respected strangers at that.

"Right, well back to the matter of which you were talking about. What are you going to do about Vaati?" Elder Vadim asked slowly, staring at his tea while stirring.

"He is in hiding for the moment and I do not like that we are sitting ducks. Elder I have the Triforce of Power," I blurted. He stopped stirring his tea and looked at me, but nodded encouragingly to continue. I nodded, "I think we should use Vaati's need for power and my access to power to lure him out of hiding then… Then the sages must vote upon what shall happen to him."

Thanks for the reviews so far! please keep sending them!
