Chapter 2
Next day rolls around they all meet up at Hyrule Castle for this political meeting they sabotaged the day before. Sydonna, Tindu, Mina and Jasper sat on opposite sides of the table with their parents. Not paying much attention as they didn't get enough sleep.
The meeting went on for hours, it was 3 in the afternoon when Mina checked the time. " That was atrocious, it sounded like a bunch of nonsense." She complained.
" Well it's something you'll be doing in the future once you take our places." Replied Riju.
All four of them scoffed, receiving disapproving looks from their parents. " I bet everyone's hungry now, you all can stay for dinner since it'll be a good ways back. And maybe we can talk about the anniversary of the kingdom's revival celebration." Suggested Zelda.
They all knew too well, about this celebration. It's one of many things they hate attending, especially when they aren't like by some of the poeple in the town, but it wasn't just any celebration. The new champions to protect Hyrule would be announced, one they wish would happen to them instead of royal duties day in and day out.
Throughout dinner they stayed quiet while the elders talk about the upcoming ceremony.
The children were expected to present the champions with their blue attire, the color used in the past. On their way back to their homes they exchange messages.
Mina: It's not fair, we work just as hard as everyone else and we don't get recognized. I don't expect us to get the titled handed, but at least acknowledge us for our training.
Sydonna: My dad's excuse is that he doesn't want me to end up like my aunt.
Tindu: That would make for an interesting ceremony though.
Mina: What do you mean?
Jasper: He means we'll become a laughing joke to the entire kingdom and an embarrassment to our families. They don't care what we do, but they believe our parents are right in not trusting us and not being worthy for something this responsible.
Sydonna: It's really stupid. There's no benefit to being royalty.
Mina: Yeah...
Jasper: Boring future...
Tindu: Mines been started...
They all looked at their mysterious instruments.
Jasper: You think whoever that was made a mistake?
Mina: More than likely.
Sydonna: What should we do with them?
Tindu: Maybe use them in a performance. I don't like the ceremony, but I would like to play a few of our songs. It'll be the only thing to make me happy at this point.
Mina: I can agree with that.
Sydonna: Count me in.
Jasper: Same, when should we play and what songs should we do?
Sydonna: A new one, for the champions to at least get our parents off our backs.
Mina: Funny, but might work. We should meet everynight at Central Tower, if it's okay with everyone.
Jasper: Tomorrow.
Sydonna: I'll be there.
Tindu: Hey I want everyone to leave their instruments at the Central Tower tonight.
Jasper: Why?
Tindu: I just want to study them. I updated some features on my slate and I happen to come across some interesting things from my tambourine.
Mina: How did you do all that in like one night?
Tindu: Let's just not question it okay. So will you do leave them for me?
Mina: Yeah.
Jasper: Sure.
Sydonna: Gotcha.
They finished their private chat and went about their day. That night Mina and Jasper were heading out the castle when they passed up their parent's room overhearing a conversation.
" These children are a handful, growing up we didn't have time to be kids," Zelda commented.
" Now that the world is basically at peace, they only want to goof around." Replied Paka.
" Not necessarily, all they either talk about is their band or being the next champions and getting a chance to be noticed for it." Put in Sidon.
Jasper took out his slate and sent a message in their private chat.
Jasper: Our parents are video chatting with each other about us.
(Sydonna is typing)
Sydonna: What is it about this time. I'm not even at home to check for myself.
Tindu: Sitting outside my mom's office right now, everyone pu your slates on silent.
They did as Tindu told and he raised the slate up into his mother's office and hit the video call button. They all appeared on the screen.
Tindu: Now we all can hear what they're talking about.
" I never knew raising a girl will be such a problem. She's so rebellious, Mipha was never like that. I see some things in Sydonna that I saw in Mipha, but the grown up part is not there. She doesn't want to understand anything." Said Sidon. " I feel like I failed as a father and king."
" You didn't fail sweetheart, I know it's hard. You must remember she's 15 and she's going through that stage in life, it'll just take time," replied Kyra. " Believe me, she'll come around, but it will only be on both your sides to see it happened."
Sydonna thought how cool her mom was sometimes, seemed she was the only one to understand her.
Sydonna: I arrived at the tower leaving my sticks and heading back home.
Tindu: Sometimes I wish your mom was my mom, she's a lot more understanding.
Sydonna: That's true.
" I'm more concerned about the ceremony, do you think they'll cause trouble?" Asked Riju.
Everyone looked down to think, " That's a good question, I wonder if there's anything we can do to keep an eye on them. They'll more than likely leave the grounds during the party." Explained Zelda.
" Maybe have them serve the guests, they way they'll be needed the whole night and can't leave," Link spoke up.
Mina: They've got to be kidding. What makes them think I want to do something like that?
Jasper: It'll be worst if those knights in training be there. I really do hate those guys.
Tindu: A bunch of bullies, always messing with us when we train.
Jasper: The instruments are placed.
Tindu: Leaving now than, see you guys tomorrow.
" I hope they can pull together, it's only a matter of time. Please young heroes me and the rest of the universe is counting on you."
Boy don't I wish I can work on a Zelda game, it's the real reason I'm going into gaming. This game just makes me want it even more.
