Oh, it has been so long. I do not own these characters.

I uh...I don't have anything else to say.

Age 8

Nayru stood in front of the children. They were all waiting impatiently for something to happen.

"How much longer?" Ganondorf complained, drawing out the sentence annoyingly. Zelda folded her arms and sighed.

"We're bored." Link whined. Nayru looked pleadingly at the door.

"We have to wait for Farore and Din." She said, trying to calm them down.

"Ow! Din! Stop it-No!" They heard from the hallway. Zelda bit her bottom lip. Din marched into the room. Farore followed, brushing off the small singe in her dress. Nayru gave Din a small glare before continuing.

"We need to prepare you." She said.

"Prepare us for what?" Ganondorf asked.

"A lot." Farore said simply.

"So…" Nayru said before Din could interrupt. "We will begin your new lessons." She smiled. The children just looked confused.

"What lessons?" Zelda asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Well, Link and Ganondorf will train with weapons, and you will train with magic." Farore said. Din snorted and turned to leave.

"Din, get back here!" Nayru snapped.

"Why?" Din scoffed. "It's not like I'll be teaching them anything." Then she sauntered out of the room. Nayru stormed after her, visibly fuming. Farore bit her bottom lip and turned back to the kids.

"I'll start teaching you guys." She said. "You have to train outside of class though. I expect mature behavior when I'm teaching and responsibility outside of it."

"We're only eight." Ganondorf grumbled. Farore raised her eyebrows. It surprised them how stern she could be. Maybe that was why her land survived all of Din's explosions.

"I'll try…" Link mumbled. Farore smiled.

"Good. Let's get to work." She clapped her hands and the kids stood up. Farore grabbed two swords and handed one to Link and one to Ganondorf. They were simple swords. No special ornaments, just plain silver and rock for the hilt.

Ganondorf and Link tilted their swords in their hands.

"It's heavy." Link whined.

"So? Not strong enough?" Ganondorf smirked. Tears burned behind Link's eyes.

"No!" He sniffed angrily. Zelda sighed and rolled her eyes.

"What about me?" She asked Farore.

"You study magic, not weapons." She said kindly, patting Zelda on the cheek. Zelda scowled slightly, looking enviously at Link and Ganondorf, who was swinging his sword carelessly.

"OK, let's begin!" Farore said happily. Zelda sighed and resigned herself to look enviously at them as they began to practice.

* * *

They trained for two hours. Zelda was looking over magic books. She would glance up every so often to look sadly at Link and Ganondorf. Farore would try and take breaks to teach her, but Ganondorf would become violent, and Link couldn't protect himself quiet yet. Zelda found that it was incredibly easy for her to do magic. It came as naturally as talking.

Link and Ganondorf had more trouble. They would sometimes smash a plant, much to Din's annoyance.

"Can you stop them from making that noise?" She yelled. Nayru scoffed as she washed the breakfast dishes.

"I would think you would be happy, Din. After all, they are causing mass destruction. A favorite pastime of yours."

"I'm so proud." Din sneered. Nayru's eyes narrowed.

"If you don't stop being so…detached from the rest of us, we won't pass the 'test' the Great God sent us."

"Yeah, about that. When are we going to tell the brats?"

"Never." Nayru didn't bother correcting Din that the children weren't brats. She put the last dish away and turned to face her sister.

"And I swear Din, if you tell them; I will make you wish you weren't my sister."

"Too late honey." Din stood up and flounced out of the room. Nayru made strangling motions behind her back.

Din walked in on Zelda, Link and Ganondorf.

"AAA!!!" Link wailed, running away from Ganondorf's sword.

"Ganondorf, STOP!" Zelda yelled, running up in front of him. He stopped mid sword swing.

"Why?" He sneered. Zelda frowned and raised her palm. A bright light burst out of it, sending Ganondorf flying.

"HEY!" Din yelled, running up to Zelda. "Don't you DARE touch him."

"I didn't." Zelda scowled.

"You did!" Din sounded slightly hysterical.

"Actually, Din, she didn't technically touch him." Farore smirked, glad to have finally one-uped her sister. Din's scowl deepened as she swirled around and stormed out of the room. Zelda walked over to Ganondorf, who was sprawled against the wall. Link was giggling silently to himself.

"Are you hurt?" Zelda asked. Ganondorf frowned and rubbed his head.

"I…" He saw Link chuckling. "I don't know. My leg and arm hurt." He groaned pitifully. Link frowned slightly, but Zelda started fussing over him.

"Oh…I'm sorry. I didn't try to hurt you." She leaned in and gave him a hug. He smiled gloatingly at Link.

"It's OK. I think I'm fine now." Ganondorf stood up and smiled at Zelda, who stood up also.

"Good." Then she leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"What about me? He almost killed me." Link said, pointing a finger at his chest. Zelda frowned and shook her head. Then she walked over and hugged Link briefly.

"Don't be jealous. I like both of you." Then she skipped back over to her book and began reading. Ganondorf smiled evilly at Link and raised his sword.

"ZELDA HEEEEELLLLP!!!!" Link cried.

Poooor Link. So sad. So pitiful. So...helpless.

I wonder why Din was so mad? Could it be she is having...motherly affections? *Gasp*! No! It cannot be! The universe will end! What do YOU think? How badly will Din's new love affect the rest of the world? ;)

Comment! Peace! c(:
