Chapter 7: The end.

Cassie said her goodbyes to the Twilight realm but promised Midna that now that she could go between the world she'd keep the wrong hands from ever interfering again. Midna thanked her and she was welcomed to return whenever she wanted to. They left for the light world and Cassie reunited with Zelda who was crying her eyes out at the sight of her lost sister. Link was found to have left the royal grounds but in that day Zelda and Cassie both made a promise; that they would always look out for one another, and with a quick bath and show of herself of the town's people, who were very excited to see her. Cassie could finally do what she needed to.

Riding with a horse she made her way across nearly half of Hyrule Field and to the one place where she knew Link would be. She dismounted leaving her horse to return to Hyrule, she removed her flats and stepped into the cool life restoring water of Ordon Village. There she admired the fairies that all flew around her healing her further, she heard splashing behind her and she turned meeting the crystal eyes of Link's intense gaze. She smiled and ran over to him enveloping him into a tight hug. They relished it finally being able to touch once more in their own world. She lowered herself and looked up to him.

"Where did you run off too after I got back to Hyrule?" Link shrugged.

"I guessed, I thought you wanted to spend some time with Zelda after all of this." She giggled and leaned on his chest.

"Well you're not wrong…" She paused. "But I really wanted to ask you something, I didn't think I could do it before now but I'm sure I can now!" Link stared down to her. "We've been through a lot and I don't want any of that to change, I enjoyed the times when I was asked to accompany you on ventures through Hyrule. I felt safe around you and even before when I banished you, it took a lot out of me just to do so… But, as I said, I don't want that to ever end and by us being together, in the status they we're in that can never happen." Link stared at her.

"Cassie… Don't say that! I'm sure we can-" She cut him off with a smile.

"No, Link, let me finish… I asked my sister if I could abdicate my rule." Link stared down at her lost as to what her reasoning for wanting to do so was. "and she was perfectly fine with it actually." Link stared at her. "But no, this isn't to say that I no longer have any affiliation, I am still of royal blood just I am no longer standing as a princess under the eyes of my father, mother, sister, or people." Link gave her a look of confusion.

"B-but why?" She smiled staring at their intertwined hands.

"I did this so I could be with you wherever you were. I want to spent the last of my days with you Link, but if you decline this I will go back to being a princess." Link swallowed the spit in his throat, his lips turned from a straight line to a bright smile as he embraced her and fit his head into the crook of her neck.

"Cassie! You don't know how-" He shook, his head and moved to look into her eyes. "That's amazing! I'll always love you no matter what and now I can officially say that you're mine!" He let her go and got down on one knee. The fairies seemed to cease their movements and watched the scene before them. "You'll be mine won't you?" She couldn't stop the flow of joyous tears that filled her eyes she let them fall and dropped to his level holding tightly onto him.

"Oh, of course I will!" Link smiled before making her look up, he wiped her face clean before placing a lasting kiss on her lips sealing their longed bond.

Five years later…

Cassie has felt the sun's rays leave her body meaning it was no longer creating unnecessary sweat on her body it also meant that she had to finish up soon and head inside. She was positively giddy from the inside out; her and Link lived in a remote home just outside of Ordon village, they chose there because she wanted to keep Link close to his friends and because it was also a very special place for them as they would spend holidays there in one another's presence. Link did work around the house, collecting firewood, working on certian fixtures for the house, exploring a bit more of the land to farm and much more, but on his days when things were slow he did missions for the Royal family. Like today; Link had been gone for several hours as he had been on a mission for Zelda, which was normal for him. But recently he had been doing more and more work. He'd come home finishing off the work Cassie couldn't, of course it bothered him why she was so weak and unable to work as much as she first had but, he blamed it just on her recently recovering from a cold she had. Only Cassie knew the true reason for her fatigue, they had live together for five years pushing on six years now in that time they built up their home; creating a lasting lifestyle and endured harsh conditions creating a well balance for them to live in. Cassie knew that Link would be tired when he came home so she made him one of his favorites; Yeti's soup, that she recently learned how to make, and waited for him to return. Link came home late but not late enough for him not to eat, he didn't see a candle lit so he assumed that Cassie went bed without him. He heated back up the soup and enjoyed it before turning over for the night. In their room he was surprised to find Cassie sitting on their bed with her knees under her body, her hair was down and covered a part of her face but she was still beaming. Link stripped himself of the most of his clothes not wanting to keep his wife waiting any longer. They shared a small kiss before she pulled him into their shared bed.

"What are you still doing up? Not tired?" Cassie couldn't stop her smile from hurting her face but she shook her head.

"No… I just couldn't wait to tell you!" Link smiled and looked at her.

"Tell me what?" She giggled and took his rough hands and placed them over her stomach, she looked in directly into his eyes.

"Guess."

Yay~ I finished it! I mean I'm not happy about that, I don't like ending my work completely...
