Soren POV

I pushed the door fully open, the talking stopped dead. Ganondorf, Bowser, and Vaati had been arguing.

"I need my spell book." I remarked slowly, none of them replied, I grabbed my book off of the floor carefully.

"By the way, Kid, you did very well." Ganondorf sneered.

"What…?"

"With the screaming, I'm sure Ike wouldn't have said shit if it wasn't for you. You're great bait, although I do believe that Queen Elincia is more suited for the 'bait' role." Ganondorf replied breezily.

I turned to leave, I'm sick of their shit, Vaati grabbed my arm, "Soren, please don't tell Link that I'm here."

"It's a tad bit too late. Ike already told him." I remarked tugging my arm away.

"Damn. Either I'm to be trapped in a sword or I'm going to be stuck as a midget." Vaati muttered with a sigh.

"This sucks without Subspace we're screwed… we're all so screwed…" Bowser moaned, he placed a hand on his forehead.

I felt bad about Vaati and Bowser, they mindlessly followed Ganondorf and now they were going to reap the consequences, "You could just leave."

"They aren't leaving, Bower would draw too much attention and Vaati… well… he's basically under my control." Ganondorf said with a little snicker.

I had no desire to keep on talking with them, so I just turned and left. I headed outside, where I preceded to find Ike and Link, with Marth and Roy. Surprise. I walked over gingerly, Marth and Roy both sighed dramatically as they glared at me.

"Hey, Soren!" Link exclaimed, he playfully punched my shoulder, I don't think he meant for it to hurt. But it did.

"Could all of you nobles, princes, and war-heroes please come here?" The master hand called.

"Of course!" Marth gushed as he placed his hands on his hips; Ike shot me a little smile as he followed them.

If a giant glove could have eyes he would have stared at me, "You too."

"Me…?" He nodded, "But I'm not…?"

"You're Prince Soren of Daein, son of The Mad King Ashnard and Princess Almedha of Goldoa, correct?" The giant hand replied, I shook my head.

"N-no… I'm not, I'm not a prince." I remarked; there must be some mistake; I not… am I…? I remembered the dreams Ashnard had called me 'son' and my memory… Almedha the way she looked at me, like, like… like she loved me, even though she hadn't met me… could I really be her son…?

"No, Soren isn't a prince!" Ike said with a nervous laugh.

"But he is! My senses don't lie!" The giant hand exclaimed.

"You have no proof of that." Marth scoffed.

"I'll show you. If a blue aura surrounds him, then he is of royal blood." The air suddenly become still and dry, the wind seemed to stop and it become dark, Marth had a strange blue glow surrounding him. Ike's was gray, as was everyone else's. But why were they gaping at me…? I lifted a hand, I was blue too! I don't know why but I felt really dizzy, suddenly the ground seemed to get closer. My head was aching, I slowly opened my eyes, Ike leaned over me.

"Thank god you're okay!" Ike said with a sigh.

"What…? What happened…?" I murmured.

"You fainted, I guess you didn't know that you're… you're…" Ike couldn't finish, he sighed again.

"I didn't know, Ike, I didn't… I didn't know…" I muttered, I propped myself up with my elbows.

"I know. It's just strange… that you're… you're his… his…" He couldn't finish this sentence either.

"I thought that Pelleas was his son. I think it's a big mistake, perhaps my mother was some lowly kitchen maid who had some affair with a king, then got rid of the evidence?" I offered, that's just what this is some big mistake.

"Yeah. I mean you aren't… you aren't the rightful heir, you're probably right, I mean why would we listen to a giant hand?" Ike agreed.

Logic told me that this is the correct way to figure out the situation, but my heart and my gut told me that putting off the truth would make all of this worse. I laid back down; Ike smiled and waved as he headed out of the door. I closed my eyes as I fell asleep. I woke up, no one was yelling for once. I noticed a mirror; I stood up and stared in it. I almost didn't recognize myself. I had a scab of crusted blood on my lip, I had the faint remains of a bruise on my cheek, my long black hair was a tangled mess it had mud sprinkled throughout it and there was a twig in it, and there were bags under my wide red eyes. I wiped off a smug of dirt on my cheek; I noticed that my robes were crinkled; my boots were coated in mud. I sighed loudly, time to clean up. There was a bathroom, which was more high-tech then I was used too. I took a bath, and then I proceeded to try and untangle my hair. This was quite difficult. After an hour or two I looked a bit better. The dirt which had covered my hair was gone; it had its normal shine back. I looked much better, I waited for Ike to come back, he did, and Link and Zelda were with him.

"Link, I remember someone asking me about Vaati!" Zelda exclaimed.

"Who was it?" Ike asked slowly, he turned to me as he said with a tiny smile, "Soren, you look better."

Zelda was about to say something when she noticed me, "I think… I think Soren asked me."

Damn. I was hoping that she wouldn't have remembered, Link looked confused, "But Soren said that he hadn't ever seen him before…?"

"I…I… Hadn't seen him till the forest, but I had had a dream about him, strange isn't it? So I was just curious if Zelda had ever seen anyone with light purple skin." I remarked quickly, my lies keep biting me in the ass.

Her eyebrows furrowed, "I guess that makes sense."

"Okay, well, I think that it's safe to assume that Vaati has disappeared, if he appears again someone will defeat him, trust me its fine." Link remarked. Link was good at putting things off, in face I think that's all he's good at.

"What makes you think that?" Ike remarked slowly.

"Well, he'll want to leave since you saw him. So it's safe to assume that he's gone." Link replied, let's change that, he's very good at putting things off and pretending that they don't exist.

"Well, then, let's go see Marth." Ike sighed, Link and him walked out the door. Zelda was about to follow.

"Soren, you're hiding something from them, aren't you?" She whispered softly.

"No, of course not." I scoffed as I headed out the door, she followed behind me.

Zelda grabbed my arm, "You're a terrible liar, and I'll figure this out. You aren't telling them the truth, you saw Vaati. I know you did."

"Even if I did it would not affect the outcome." I replied slowly as she let go of my arm.

"I hope your right… because I know that you've seen him before, as far as I know you're best friends. I just hope that it won't matter in the future." She murmured, I turned away. I need to find Ike.

I headed outside. Marth and Roy were yelling at Ike and Link.

"I'm a prince, okay?! So I get the ultimate say in everything!" Marth squealed.

"Soren is a prince too!" Link shouted back.

"Oh, there you are!" Marth gushed walking over to me.

"Uh… hello…?" I whispered, confused.

"Soren, since you're a prince, like me, Roy and I think that we should hang out." Marth remarked.

I hope he's joking, a few days ago he beat me and now he wants to be 'best friends!' I mean where did that come from?

"Yes, Marth and I think that we need to be around royalty. Link and Ike aren't suitable, neither of them are nobles, by blood, I mean." Roy remarked crudely.

"No." I replied clutching my book.

"What do you mean by that?" Marth gaped.

"No. I will not pretend to be your friend just so you may feel better about yourselves."

Marth jutted his chin out as he and Roy stormed off.

"Well said!" Link exclaimed.

"Soren, I'm glad to have you on our side." Ike murmured.

"I will always be on your side, Ike." I promised, it was true.

"Come on, boys!" Link gushed, he put one arm around Ike the other arm he slug around my shoulders.

We walked off. For once I felt like I belonged, Ike was my oldest and dearest friend and Link, once you got past the boring annoying part, wasn't that bad. I suddenly thought I saw purple in the corner of my eye, I turned my head, but whatever had been there was gone.
