Yayyy time for new chapter! I hope you guys love this story as much as me!
:D
...
"Link, why I haven't seen you in so long. How have you been?" Her voice spoke so gently. I couldn't believe it, she was standing before me. She was wearing just a simple night gown, something I would be beheaded for seeing if her father knew. He might be here, but right now I feel as if I have no worries, this is right, and I'm not going to throw my chance away to explain to Zelda how she has made me feel these past years. She needs to feel the pain, as I did for so long.
"Zelda...I..I miss you. I love you so much. Why did you have to go and do this to me? You Broke my heart. I would've given you the world.." I paused. "I don't think you know how it feels to receive such heartache, but it's time you damn well found out."
"Oh hush Link. Don't threaten me with heartache. I've felt it too for years, I never went a day without thinking about you. I love you too Link. Goddesses know how much I do. But I cannot be with you forever."
"But Zelda..." Before I could finish she placed her finger over my lips.
"But I can be with you for tonight.." She then elegantly slipped off her gown and stood before me in nothing but a slip. If I thought I'd be beheaded before, well now I'd probably be ripped apart by the King himself for seeing his daughter like this. But you know what, it's worth it. I don't know why she is doing this. She is another mans woman!
"Zelda, what in goddesses name are you doing?"
"Take me link, take me now for we may never get the chance to share our love again. Give me your child..."
BOOM!
I jumped up out of my sleep to waken up to a door being slammed open by Talon.
"Rise and shine Link, it's time to serve your duties to the lovely princess and the royal family! Oh how exciting! Link you are a lucky man, yes your are!" He threw a bag at me and started walking towards the door. "Well start packing you lucky sun of a gun and bring home that bacon! Ill tell Malon to get Espona ready for ya'lls trip!" He then slammed the door.
Damn that was some dream, it was so fast, so blurry, so surreal. Does that mean I still yearn for her? No, no. I don't I long for Malon now. Yeah..that's it.
Goddesses.
...
"OHHH LINK!" Malon tackled me as I reached Espona. "I will miss you soooo much! Please tell me that you'll write everyday!" She sounded so hopeful, so deeply in love.
"Yes Malon, I promise I will write everyday. And you must reply back, I will miss you very much also."
She smiled.
"Okay you two! Link has to leave now, we don't want him to be late do we? haha!" Oh brother, either he's excited to have my away from the ranch or he can't wait till I bring home some extra money. Typical. I smirked at Talon and looked back down at Malon. She was once again ready to burst in tears. I clinched her tightly, partly because I would miss her and partly because I'm trying to reassure myself that I love Malon way more than I loved princess Zelda. I cannot fall back in the same trap. Ever.
"Okay Link, I love you...becareful.."
"I will... goodbye Malon." I tried to pull away.
"I'll see you in two weeks right?" She still was holding on tightly to my hand.
"Heh... maybe less, who knows I might not be much help to them at all huh?" I surely hoped so.
"Don't be silly Link! They might want to keep you longer! Your such a great worker!" Talon laughed. "Alright let's be going now, off with ya! See you later "son-in-law" he winked at me. What a funny little man.
I hopped on Epona and took one last glance and saw the endearing glances of my future wife and father in law. When I looked at her all my problems disappeared. I wish I didn't have to go to the castle, then I could marry Malon right away and have no worries of betraying her in my thoughts anymore. Ah, but I'm not exactly the luckiest guy.
"Bye Link! See you soon!" I waved backed and with a whip me and Epona were zooming off into the beautiful grasslands of hyrule.
"Well he we go girl, you'll be seeing castle grounds again, I know it'll be hard. But stay with me."
And as we were getting close and closer to the castle, something hit me.
... I never told Malon I loved her back...
...
I arrived to the castle gate entrance about an hour after, I had to get through security gates first before I could travel another 15 miles to reach the camp grounds to where i'm supposed to be. I guess I have to inform them i'm supposed to be here, be their slave. It's kind of a pain but it makes sense. I can only imagine how many want people want to ruin this wedding, or ruin princess Zelda.
"Good day sir, can we help you?"
"Uh yeah, i'm supposed to be working for the royal wedding?" I scratched the back of my head. This is an extremely awkward situation. I've snuck past the guys so many times, i'm surprised I haven't gotten their job taken away from them. hehe oops.
"Why are you questioning that statement son? Are you here for the preparation of the royal wedding or not?"
What?
"Uh yes I am I thought I just said that?"
"Are you always such a confused little boy? Why does everything have to be a question?"
Oh now they just think their being funny. I'll show them.
"But you just made a question. So are you confused little boys too?"
"See that right there was a question, we only asked two question so therefore you are the confused one."
"Aha, see now Mr.. funny pants! You asked four so that would make you confused and a dumb one!"
"OH YOU LITTLE SON OF A B-"
"ALRIGHT! That's enough Albert, we don't have time for this, we need to stay efficient and get everyone in asap!" I looked over at the other guard and gave him a smirk. No guard outsmarts me! I've been outsmarting guards since I was ten.
"Okay son, do you have your letter?"
"Oh yeah hold on." I reached into my left pocket. Nothing. "Oh well it's probably in the other one." I reached in my right pocket. It wasn't in that one either. Oh no I have to have it. I thought for sure I packed it.
"aha..um I must've put it in the horse's pouch." I reached into the pouch and again nothing.
"Well it looks like our clever Link here does not have the letter, so therefore he's either A. trying to sneak in once again or B. Like's playing mind games with us."
"Or, maybe C. I do have the letter I just can't find it!"
"Sorry no letter no pass. NEXT!"
There's no way I'm heading back home with my head in shame and embarrassment.
"Wait, wait, wait ,wait, wait! Come on you guys know me! You've been knowing me for how long? Ten years now. You know I wouldn't cause any trouble!"
"Yes Link we've know you for far way too long, and you've always caused quite a fuss. But not this time, I will have to ask you to escort the premises or we will call in for someone to personally "kick" you out."
"No please!"
"Grame! Sald! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!"
The two guards took me by my hands and started to drag me out. If it wouldn't cause trouble I'd probably start fighting them. But prison isn't for me.
"HALT!" I heard a tough woman's voice yell out for my safety.
"Put him down, you two know better! I should have your jobs throw away for this!"
Impa.
"Come on ahead Link, and when you pass, hit them if you want."
The two guards quickly released their grasp, and I slowly took Epona's rein to catch up with Impa. The guards flinched when I passed, I don't know whether they were scared of Impa or me. Maybe both.
Impa has always been there for me. Ever since I was a little kid, I really appreciate her. She was the closest thing I had to a mother, so no matter what I did, I never wanted to disappoint her.
"So Link, how have you been?" I guess this was going to be an emotional walk.
"Eh, good I guess. Just been working at the ranch. Gotta keep on no matter what you know?"
She nodded and smiled. "You met anyone special?"
I put my head down. "Yeah Malon and I have a little thing I guess." What else am I supposed to say?
"AHA! A little thing? Link, come on it's me your talking to. Don't be so modest."
"Well we're just taking it slow for now."
" That's good." We had a little pause. " I'm glad you came Link. Your the perfect person for this job."
"Well I sure hope I can help out as much as possible." We stopped at the camp ground entrance. She put her hand on my shoulder.
"I know you won't let us down Link." Us?
"I promise I won't" I forced a smile.
"Well if you need anything, and I mean anything Link. Come find me. Don't let anyone push you around. Okay"
Too late
"Okay, thank you Impa, I appreciate it. And I promise I won't let the royal family down." She smiled and headed back towards the castle.
Well now my adventure begins, maybe it won't be too bad. Maybe I'll make a few new friends, make some money, and the faster I work the faster I can go home to my beautiful Malon. Yeah, just gotta think positive.
"Hey fruit cake? You here to daydream all day or come set up for the wedding?"
Or maybe not.
...
