Chapter 2

It didn't take very long to get to Castle Town and low and behold Link and Zelda were at the gate chatting. Dark Link stopped his horse suddenly jumping off and without warning caught Link in the side of the face knocking him off balance, but he recovered.

"What was that for?!" Link growled only to stop a second punch by grabbing it. I got off Hero as several of the guards started to show up, but kept their distance, their fear senses knew better. I walked over to the two of them as Link got a good hit in and separated them.

"Don't interfere." Dark Link growled at me.

"I'm doing it for your own good," I answered, something was off if I was able to break it up.

"I can take him,"

"Yea, maybe if your head was on straight, what the hell has got you in a mess today?"

"How about you ask you old travel buddy about explaining why he wasn't sharing info?"

"What information?" I asked in surprise losing my grip on the darker version who went in for a kick only to have it caught by Link and he was tossed to the side into some crates that broke under him.

"Information that had to be completely analyzed so I wasn't giving out only part of it." Link told me crossing his arms. "Zelda figured from the amount I eat, you two were going to be coming back to town to make some extra money today and that we could meet you in person to talk about the new information." He turned to Dark Link, "And you stop following my every move like it's a social media page."

"If you got a cure to my condition, then we'll talk about staying out of other people's business. Not like you've been messing around keeping tabs on me."

"Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You're a psychotic mess which just happens to be travelling with a good friend of mine."

"Yes, so good that you couldn't stay to make sure she was okay."

"Aw, you care." I cooed at him.

"I don't, stay out of this." Dark Link retorted before turning back to Link. "Care to explain yourself? We haven't seen you in months."

"We were on opposite sides of the map until today," Link explained. "And I'm sure you can figure out on your own why it's taken me this long to actually make face to face contact."

Dark Link stopped his assault and backed off which I found surprising. "Fine, you get a pass if this information is viable."

"Well, now that that's finished," Zelda started, "Let head to Telma's bar to see the others."

"Serious? You can't just tell us here?"

"Shut it Dark," I sighed. It was a mutual agreement just to shorten it to Dark when addressing him out loud so no one would get confused when talking in public. He hated being mistaken for the lighter counterpart and had almost killed a few people over it. "They might have some more information."

"But that cat-"

"Maybe we should call you Baby Link for whining so much about a cat." Link mocked.

"That cat hates me."

"For good reason, you tried to pick a fight in her owner's bar."

"It's a cat, it's not supposed to know what is what."

"Obviously, she does and thought that you shouldn't have been fighting him."

"Hey that bastard had it coming."

"I can agree to that." I imputed vaguely remembering the drunk, he was harassing several of the female customers including myself. "But if you didn't read the sign as you walked in, it tells you that if you want to fight, do it outside in the court, it's what it's there for. And besides, if you gave me two seconds to walk him out the door, I would have been able to deal with it without the cat trying to peel off your face, Dark."

"You're reaction time was slow, Electra." He replied mockingly. "Fine, just head there already, maybe the cat forgot."

"Doubt it," Link responded and led the way with Zelda. I had forgotten how pacifist she could be when it came to squabbles or maybe in this case, she just ignored them. "I doubt Telma will let you into her bar without some sort of payment after your last visit, if I remember the rumor correctly, you tried to turn her bar into training grounds for some of the soldiers to teach them to be men and you broke her bar counter."

"Can you blame me for trying?"

"No, surprisingly enough, there's only so many soldiers Jason can train at a time and you just happened to find the batch that weren't. But what I can blame you for is the fact that you turned her chairs into targets and owe her a couple hundred rupees in alcohol for using full bottles for tossing weights."

"Electra…" Dark Link started. "I know for a fact you have a stash of cash somewhere for emergencies…"

"Since when are you wanting to apologize?" I asked him. I was genuinely shocked.

"Since this is the only way to get information-"

"I can always tell you later."

"I guess…" he pouted.

I sighed, his face said it all. "You just like the spot."

"Maybe."

"Fine," I agreed and pulled out an emergency wallet and handed it to him. "You're such a child."

"Can I ask why you like the spot?" Link asked.

"No, and what the hell do you get for a cat?"

"A fish…"

"There aren't any fish marketers in town right now."

"Well I guess you're shit out of luck." I responded. "Seriously, I don't get you sometimes, most of the time you're the definition of an emo band with sarcasm and today… well today I have no idea how to describe you."

"I'm a bundle of joy full of lust to slaughter monsters and assholes alike. Particularly the one in front of me."

"Whatever, you're going to spill what the matter with you is sooner or later because I doubt it was just Link holding unofficial information."

"Who said anything being wrong? I could just be in a good mood because I get a chance to kick someone's ass after this."

"This someone has a name and for your information, you've tried before and have not succeeded, what makes it different this time?"

Dark Link grinned slightly psychotically, but didn't answer.

We walked down the stairs and Link opened the bar door only to have a sword come from it. Link side jumped out of the way as Dark Link knocked it to the side with his sword that I hadn't noticed he drew. He disarmed the soldier and the sword went flying across the court. "Someone is jumpy, you could have skewered someone important."

"Ah, your highness!" The soldier exclaimed looking passed Link and Dark Link to Zelda. "I'm sorry-"

"What happened?" Zelda asked ignoring the apology.

"A woman came in here looking for, ah!" He turned to me. "You!"

"What about me?" I asked.

"You came in here earlier with a group of monsters."

"Well it sounds more fun then what I was actually doing… same hair and eye color?"

"Yea-"

"Next time you see her, either avoid her or capture her and let someone in the higher ranks know you have her. She is dangerous."

"You think? She killed my buddy!" The soldier exclaimed. "Who the hell was she if you aren't her?"

"Kalysta, and she's a monster, when did you see her?"

"About twenty minutes ago." A voice came from inside and walked to the door to be reviled as Telma, "Her third time in the past few hours. She scare off a few soldiers, killed only once with her monsters and left through the door."

"What the hell is she doing here?" Dark Link asked.

"Probably looking for her pet because you're always in here when you aren't out there." Telma replied slightly angered. "And you aren't getting back in here until you pay up for all the damages!"

"Here, take it, just let me in."

Telma took the baggy and looked inside before getting out of the way pulling the soldier with her. "That will do, you want the usual?"

Dark Link nodded.

"Fine, but if you ever do that to my bar again, you are banned from ever entering the court again. We clear?"

"I don't make any promises."

She narrowed her eyes and he glared back.

"He promises," I sighed and we walked in. "Seriously, it's like I'm your babysitter when you are like this."

"Whatever." Dark Link rolled his eyes. "So Kalysta didn't say anything about she wanted?"

"Not a word." Telma sighed. "Jason and Delilah are in the back, I'll let you guys know if anything else decides to show up."

"Thanks," Link told her and led us to the back room holding up the blanket for us. Zelda went in first and I followed in afterwards only to be attacked by a flying hug that caught both of us.

"You guys are okay! I haven't heard from you two in forever~" Delilah squealed before letting us go and turned to Dark Link. "Oh, you're still on this earth."

"You just stole my line." Dark Link responded in a deadpanned tone. "What are you doing here anyway, this is supposed to be a gathering for information, and last I checked you were with Jason training soldiers."

"And last I heard you were just killing monsters that got in people's yards and don't have any information."

"You heard correctly," I replied before an argument could start. "Which is one of the reasons we came back to Castle Town."

"On that, how have you been doing?"

"Fine." I answered bluntly. I knew where she was going with the subject and I wasn't allowing it to go there as I sat down at the table that Jason was sitting at quietly. "Now let's talk before we get interrupted from the bar's special guest of the day."

"Let's," Dark Link agreed and sat down on a chair backwards as Link, Zelda and Delilah sat down. "How about we start with Jason, how are those weaklings going?"

"Good, surprisingly." The Irish man answered breaking out of his silence. "A lot of the monsters are actually being defeated before they can come near the walls now, but I think the best judge would be her majesty who has had the best few with her."

"They are better than ever, thank you Jason." Zelda told him.

"Well the least important subject is out of the way, now spill, Link. What did you find that you couldn't send through the postman?"

Link frowned, whatever it was, it wasn't good news. "The two worlds, are colliding at a quicker rate than originally thought."

"Well considering that we didn't know they were merging to begin with, yea, anything is quicker." I said sarcastically. "Since when?"

"According to Shad, since Kalysta's disappearance."

"Oh, fucking perfect. How much time do we have left before it's irreversible?"

"Between Shad and the sages, a month." Zelda stated. "Unfortunately, that's not all of it. Several people have seen two people who look like Vaati and Dean have been conspiring with each other."

There was a bit of silence before Jason piped in. "Well that's not good."

"No, it's not." Link growled. "And it would explain Kalysta's appearance here several times today. If she is also conspiring with Dean, it is possible that she really was coming after Dark."

"Glad to know they aren't ignoring me." Dark Link muttered.

"Two demons who are looking for brides working together with a possible third is the best world is ending sign I can think of." Jason commented. "They have something planned."

"What about Demise?"

"Still buried, hopefully he'll stay quiet." Zelda answered. She didn't seem all the comfortable about being at the table anymore. "If Demise resurrects, that means we'll have four enemies to deal with and three of those can only be dealt with certain weapons. We still don't know anything about Dean and if he can be killed; time has not yet finished him and I'm not sure if incubus do die with age. The Four Sword is lost somewhere still and Electra's blade is the only thing that can kill Kalysta."

"What's the good news?" Delilah asked. "You know, besides having an idea that they might be planning something that we know nothing about."

"We have two Master Swords that can kill Demise."

There was silence. Before I looked over at her. "That's it? There is no other good news?"

"No," She sighed. "There is nothing that can be done about locating them either. I could try my Light arrows on the three that are wandering about, but they don't want to be found and very rarely are scene, possibly being seen on purpose. This last discovery of Vaati and Dean came from Arbiter's Grounds, but they didn't stay once they realized the Sages were there yesterday. We got the information late last night and rode back to Castle Town throughout the night to make sure we would catch you two when we could."

"I see." I contemplated the situation. "Was there any information on where they could be going?"

"None, but there is a repeating incident that they have been seen at the graveyard several times."

"We should check it out then. There could be something there that no one else seems to be noticing."

Zelda nodded. "I also suggest you visit your father's grave, it will-"

"Please, stop." I interrupted.

"Electra, I'm telling you, it will help, even if his body isn't there, it will help with the healing."

"The only thing that will help is Dean and Kalysta dead on the ground and their blood on my sword." I answered darkly and stood up grabbing Dark Link's collar. "We're going."

"What about my drink?"

"Take it on the road."

"Electra-" Zelda started, but she stopped as I turned to her with a glare.

"I know you're parents are dead, but your life wasn't dependent on them. It's only until recently that the only thing I had to fight for was my world and my father and now I have no father and I can't go home as long as I'm still being hunted for Dean's little game. For all I know, I will never go home and I will never see the rest of my family again. I don't know if you can understand that, but it's one of the most horrible feelings. Even if everything turns out alright, in the end everything I had and loved is gone. The only thing I care about is my father's revenge and keeping my home from being destroyed, there is nothing else to live for once its over."

"All the more reason to visit, revenge is a drive but it is not a fulfilling one."

"And have his spirit be there like Happy was?" I asked. She was about to respond when I stopped her. "If it gets you to stop nagging me, fine. I'll go visit, but it will be pointless. As for the revenge, I know what I'm doing."

I left dragging the darker version with me. Telma passed Dark Link a cup and he drank it before leaving it on the side table on the way out the door.

"Thank you!" He shouted as I dragged him up the stairs and he got out of my grasp and turned me around to face him. "Now what the hell was that?"

"How can I face my father's grave with nothing to show?" I asked him my anger was gone for Zelda and turned in on myself. "We've done nothing to avenge his murder and she wants me to visit him."

"You won't hear me say this often, but it's possible that it will help with healing."

"Tsk, not you too." I growled. "Whatever, let's go see if there's a base up in the graveyard."

"And to visit your father."

"Fuck off."
