A/N: Heehee! Writer's block went bye-bye since school break started… Which is weird, you know?
Tristan: Totally.
Me: Awww, Tristan's mad that Sebastian's back, huh?
Tristan: NO.
Link: Right…
Freesia: Ghosthunter013 doesn't own anything from Nintendo or Legend of Zelda except for the characters she created…
Chapter 18- Sebastian's Return
Freesia stared at the boy inside of the cell in shock.
"WHAT-THE-HELL-ARE-YOU-DOING-HERE?!?!?!?!" she screamed, emphasizing every word.
Tristan winced and Link began to search the dungeon for keys.
"Well," began Sebastian, "it's kind of a long story…"
"Well, looking at the position we're in," Tristan said, eyeing Link, "it looks like we have plenty of time."
Sebastian crept out of the corner of his cell and came forward. He was a mess… Seriously.
His lips were dry and he had dirt smears on his face here and there. A scab rested on his eyebrow and his eyes seemed to be faded.
"Where's Dark Link?" he asked, eyeing Tristan suspiciously.
"He is Dark, Sebastian. He's just different-looking. His new name is Tristan."
"Nice to meet the new you," Sebastian said, sticking a hand through the bars. "I'm actually pretty different as well. So I guess we're both meeting different people."
Tristan eyed the hand carefully then took it. They shook for a brief moment and Seb then turned to Freesia.
"I was on my way out of here by Impa. I met with her and she gave me the necklace, saying that it was Link's triforce and all. But then, it was stolen from me and I was forced into the cell by the princess. She didn't recognize me- or anyone in here from before. Her skin was an unhealthy blue and her eyes were golden, not the natural color from before. That was when I found out from the owl outside the cell window that Zelda's body was possessed by Ganon," explained Sebastian quickly, eyeing Link. "Is that him? The boy who hid from us for so long?"
Link paused from his search and turned. "I did not hide, Sebastopol, I was possessed too. But Ganon found out that I didn't have the triforce on me and only used me as a pawn to get to the beloved princess."
"It's Queen- actually," hissed a voice from above.
All eyes went to the ceiling and there was a blue light. It came down in a swift movement and hovered in front of the group.
"Queen Zelda? Is that you?" asked Tristan in a shocked voice.
"Yes," the voice whispered, "I've been formed into a blue spirit- a bulb. It was all I could do other than sit in my body and try to fight an already defeated battle."
Link bowed to the bulb. "I failed you Zelda. I lost the triforce piece as well as a piece of your will to live and your enduring love. So help me I will kill Ganondorf if it's the last thing I do!"
"You do not have the endurance for it! Ganon has already stolen everything from your mind that you need to defeat him. You are not as strong as you once were," interrupted Saria in a teary voice.
"Then I will fight with him!" shouted his brother. "Two Links will equal one, no matter what quest!"
"As will I!" Freesia added. "I may have just arrived here as an unwanted guest, but I can help too!"
"Me too," Sebastian said. "I've done some pretty bad things while I was here… And I want to make that up."
Freesia looked to him and smiled a bit, nodding as well.
"And so shall we!" cried out the other sages in their cells. "No longer shall we be tossed aside and kept in the dark! We will help as well!"
The bulb heightened and brightened. "So be it. I must be off now, before Ganon senses my presence here. Good luck, fellow friends and do not fret, Link. Your triforce will come back to you… Have hope."
Link nodded and the fairy dispersed before our very eyes.
~Freesia~
The keys were found and we all helped everyone leave their cells.
I had the honors of releasing Nabooru, the Queen of the Desert, who looked upon me.
"I expected more…" she muttered, moving away from me as I opened Saria's door.
"Don't mind Nabooru. She's just upset that she didn't get to seduce the guard into giving us the key," Saria told me, rolling her eyes at such a thought.
"It could've worked!" called back Nabooru.
"Yeah, if he was drunk enough to say, 'sure babe, drinks on me!'" called Saria back in a sarcastic and bitter tone.
"That doesn't make sense you know!"
"Well, neither does your sexual orientation!"
Link laughed slightly aloud, but shut his mouth as soon as Ruto's hands flung through the bars and wrapped around Link's neck.
"Oh, Linkie! I knew you'd come and save me!" breathed Ruto in a girlie sigh.
"Yuck!" I gagged, opening the Goron's door.
"You should've heard her when the guards threw her down here," muttered Darunia.
"No thanks," I muttered back, eyes wide.
"Ruto… I need to open the door…" gasped Link in an irritated tone.
I rolled my eyes and pushed Link aside, facing the fish on the other side.
"Hiya there! I'm Freesia Strike, savior of the day! Begging your pardon miss, but I believe you're flirting with a married man!"
"I am?"
"She is!?"
Both in unison… Perfect timing too…
I laughed. "Oh! I also forgot to mention the triplets he's expecting!"
"WHAAAT!?!?!?!?!" screamed Ruto and Link again.
"Who is this whore that dares to steal away my Link!?" screamed Ruto loudly.
"You shouldn't call the queen a whore!" I scolded. "Link's married Zelda, you big goof!"
Ruto's death glare landed on Link, whose death glare was on me. I could see Tristan cringing in the background to keep from laughing aloud.
"Well sooorrrrryyy for speaking the truth!" I said, opening the gate with a false glare.
"LINK HOW COULD YOU!?!?!" screamed Ruto in rage, her blue face turning an ugly green.
"Freesia!" he screamed as he was backed into a corner by Ruto.
Tristan jumped in and gave her a glare. "Ruto, I swear to Din! Now is not the time for your stupid and pointless emotions to fall into place! If Link wants to marry Zelda, then so be it! At least they actually love each other!"
"Link DOES love me, you stupid shadow!" shrieked Ruto.
I slapped Ruto. "DO NOT call my love a shadow! And second of all, I'd be surprised if anyone loved you, you tick!"
Silence.
Mouths were open and Ruto remained silent. I let out a huff of air and Nabooru began to clap her hands loudly.
"About time!" called Darunia, laughing loudly.
Ruto blushed a slimy, diarrhea color and pushed past everyone.
"Come on guys," I said in a softer tone, "we've got a Queen to save."
A/N: Oh gods that was awful…
Freesia: No it wasn't. I got to slap Ruto!
Tristan: O.o …
A/N: R&R??
