Now on to the conclusion of the Kesuta and Korume arc!
"So it was you posing as the goddess this whole time?!" Nabooru asked Kouem and Kotake in the grand sanctum of the Spirit Temple.
"Yes, and we remember you quite well dear, that defiant look in your eyes..." Koume said, "You were trying to claim a power within the temple, and we were about to make you our slave, until that rotten little brat interfered!"
"Heh, it's been a long time. I think about seven years... you hunched-over old farts!" Link said grinning, earning a laugh from Nabooru and a giggle from Aviel. Even Nemisa snorted a little from it.
"What?!" exclaimed Koume, "It's you?!"
"And he stands to be the Gerudo King?! Unthinkable!" Kotake shouted.
"Yep, I've personally seen to it that he's going to be a thousand times better king then Ganondorf ever could have been!" Nabooru said with a smug grin.
"Grrr, how dare you!" screeched Kotake.
"Wait!" Korume said with desperation in her tone, forcing herself up to her feet, "Please, I need to know, if you were posing as the goddess this whole time, what value would you have in this ritual?"
"Yes, please tell us great, great, grandmother!" Kesuta pleaded, "Please don't tell me our mother had to..."
" Ah-heheheh..." cackled Koume, "As strong as the two of us are, our power isn't infinite."
"Yes, in order to keep ourselves not just strong, but live for as long as we have, we've been doing these little rituals with each generation of our bloodline!" Kotake said.
"What?!" exclaimed Kesuta.
"Where do you little fools think you got that mystic crystal ball from? We contacted you through the ball, and told you of your destiny, posing as the desert goddess, so we could pit our descendants to battle against each other. Whoever is defeated shall have their magic and life force drained from them, and then the stronger of the two will go on to have twin daughters who will do the same thing on their own seventeenth birthday, and so on, and so on..." Koume explained.
"...so that the two of us may live forever and ever!" cackled Kotake.
Link stared up in disbelief at the two witches.
"T-That's it?!" Aviel shouted with tears in her eyes, "You made sisters fight and kill each other just for power?!"
"I knew the two of you were despicable monsters, but that's the lowest of the low." Nabooru said scowling.
"Unforgivable..." Nemisa said, punching her fist into her palm.
Link didn't say a word, but looked over to Kesuta and Korume, who were staring with wide tear-filled eyes, Kesuta herself in particular.
"Y-You mean... our ancestors threw their lives away... and I almost killed my own sister... for these two...?" Kesuta asked herself, falling to her knees.
"Kesuta..." Korume muttered, reaching her hand out to Kesuta's shoulder, only for the fire mystic to pull herself away from the ice mystic and hug her arms around herself, shaking and crying.
Link just looked to them for a while, and then his head lowered, his features darkening.
"Ah-heheheh... as if we care about what you think of us. Now that you know our secret, it's time to finish you all off!" Koume laughed, "It's time for our fusion form!"
Just as they did seven years ago, the two of them took to the high air and started flying in circles. Everyone watched as dark magic spiraled around the two witches, until in a burst of energy, where Koume and Kotake once were, there was now an absurdly tall older woman with spread out ponytails made of both fire and ice, bearing a large jewel on her forehead, and was holding twin broom wands. The witch sisters were now once again in their fusion form known as Twinrova.
"Woah, they can do that?!" Aviel exclaimed.
"Hmph, so how do you intend to keep up with this silly charade now that both Kesuta and Korume know the truth?" Nemisa asked.
"Ohhohoho!" cackled Twinrova, "The fire mystic proved herself tonight to be the strongest, so we'll spare her, and use our mind control magic to make her forget this all ever happened, and she'll go on to breed our next two participants!"
"Mind control... Just like what she tried to do with me..." Nabooru muttered, her eyes narrowed coldly and shouted, "You monsters, I won't allow it!" leaping up and clashing her swords against Twinrova''s wands, but the fused witch smirked and blasted Nabooru backwards with fire. She flipped and landed to her feet safely though.
"I'll get her!" Aviel said, pulled out her crossbow and firing a barrage of arrows at Twinrova, who simply blasted the with another fire attack, reducing the arrows to cinders. "...I don't got her..." Aviel said shaken.
Nemisa meanwhile leaped up, jumping off a wall, before coming down on Twinrova with a flying kick, only for the witch to blast her with an ice spell in midair, causing her to impact to the ground.
"D-D-Damnit!" groaned Nemisa, rubbing her arms to try and warm herself up.
"This isn't good..." Nabooru said, "Her magic is too strong... if we still had the Mirror Shield we could stand a chance... but it was destroyed back when we fought her last time..."
"Now I'll end you all!" Twinrova shouted, bringing up her wands for another attack.
That was when one voice spoke up.
"So that was all there was to this...?"
"Huh?" Twinrova asked, looking down to see Link, whose head was lowered and his features were dark.
"Impersonating the goddess of the desert... manipulating the goodwill of the mystics and their descendants for five generations... forcing sisters to fight each other to the death, tricking them into thinking this was all for the good of the people... Just so the two of you can live and gain more power...?"
"Well of course!" Twinrova said dismissively, landing to her feet and waving her wand at Link, "We are the dark witches of flame and cold, surrogate mothers of the great Lord Ganondorf, and our descendants' sole purpose is to sustain our lives!"
"Is that so...? Well when this is over..." Link muttered, he then raised his head up, his eyes now a blank angry white and shouted, "THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND A NEW PURPOSE!"
"W-What?!" Twinrova exclaimed, taking a step back, "What... is this? I-I'm feeling a strange power coming from his boy..."
"L-Link?!" Aviel asked, "Oh boy, he's doing it again..."
Korume looked up from trying to help Kesuta, and her eyes were wide as she stared at Link.
"I-It's that dark power from before... from the night we first met him in the palace..."
"Just what is with him...?" Nabooru muttered to herself.
"Tsk, no matter what it is, I'll kill you anyway!" Twinrova shouted, she brought up her wand to blast Link with dark magic, but before she could even try, Link flipped into the air and bought his sword down at her, which she quickly blocked with her twin wands, but the amount of strength he was putting into the attack caused Twinrova to struggle.
"Y-You can't be serious!" Twinrova exclaimed. Her wands gave a glow and grew out blades of fire and ice from them, and she started clashing at Link, though still unnerved by the angry gaze he was giving her. Link quickly drove back one of her wands and slashed her across the chest, causing her to scream out.
"You little rat!" Twinrova shouted, flying up into the air, sending fire and ice down at Link, who jumped and dodged past each blast.
"Ohohohoo, yes, run! You can't hit me from up here now!"
That was then Link pulled out his Longshot and aimed it right at Twinrova, he fired it off, sending the hook past her and jammed into a wall.
"Ha, you missed me, little man!" Twinrova teased.
"Wasn't aiming for you..." Link muttered, squeezing the switch of the Longshot, and sending him flying up with it, and kicking Twinrova right in the gut, before retracting the Longshot and spinning downwards, slashing Twinrova as they both fell.
"He's pulling it off!" Nabooru exclaimed.
Kyyyaaa!" screamed Twinrova as the two impacted into the ground. Link stepped down on Twinrova's chest, and she was horrified to see the blank stare in his eyes. He brought up his sword, intending to impale it into her, "Get off of me you little pest!" she shouted, erupting into a burst of dark magic, repelling Link backwards and to the ground.
Link groaned out, regaining his senses, as his blank white eyes turned back to their typical blue. He got up slowly to see Nabooru, Aviel and Nemisa all standing in front of him.
"Ugh... guys...?"
"Your highness," Nemisa said with her fists up, "You're being too reckless again..."
"Don't worry Link, we got your back... or your front I guess." Aviel said gripping her crossbow.
"Yes, come on, we'll fight as a team!" Nabooru said, brandishing her scimitars.
"Right, sorry girls." Link sighed, he shook off his daze and came up along side them, ready to fight again.
The four them all charged in, and clashed against Twinrova. Aviel fired her crossbow down at the witch wildly, distracting her long enough that Nemisa should deliver a brutal kick in her side. Nabooru smacked down on her wands with her blades, while Link got quick spin attack on her. Twinrova tried to counter with fire and ice attacks, but Link blocked the ice with his shield and charged forward, ramming into her, while Aviel flapped her wings wildly to blow back the fire, allowing Nemisa to jump and do a flip kick into Twinrova's face, then Nabooru swung down and slashed her with his scimitars again, knocking her to her knees.
Twinrova gasped out from the all-out attack by the group, but it was then she grinned wickedly, firing off a barrage of dark energy force to drive them back, before blasting them away with dark fire and ice attacks.
"Ohhohohoho! You're all powerless compared to me!" Twinrova said, "The life force I've fed off of for four generations has made me almost immortal!" and with that her injuries from fighting everyone quickly healed.
"You got to be kidding me..." Nabooru gasped, "It feels like she's even stronger then she was seven years ago..."
"Her best weakness is her own elemental attacks, but we don't have a way to repel them like we could with the Mirror Shield..." Link added.
Korume took a look over at the four fighting on their behalf, then down to Kesuta who was shaking and crying.
"Kesuta, my sister, pleease snap out of it!" Korume said, grabbing her by her shoulders, "They don't stand a chance against the dark witches as she is now!"
"But... I..."
"Look, I know you loathe and hate me, but right now we need to work together, Link needs our help!"
"Hate..." Kesuta muttered, she looked up at her sister and spoke to her, "Sis... I-I'm sorry... the truth is... I d-don't hate you... I.. just said those things so I could bring myself to kill you... I couldn't work up the nerve no matter how hard I tried, so I deluded myself into hating you... just so I could finish the job..." she sobbed, "I'm sorry!"
Korume's eyes widened at Kesuta's confession, before she smiled ever so softly.
"... ...I should have known..." Korume sighed, "You were always a terrible liar. I apologize for the words I've said to you as well."
"It... it's okay..." Kesuta said sniffling, with a light smile of her own, "I know that's just how you are..."
The two of them looked up to see Link, Nabooru and the others fighting against Twinrova, and weren't doing so well, and she drove them back with another fire blast.
"Can... we really do anything against that witch...?" Kesuta asked, "She absorbed the power of so many of our ancestors, including our own aunt..."
"We must try either way." Korume said, taking her sister's hands and holding them firmly, "You want to marry Link and have children with him someday correct?"
"Y-Yes... of course I do.. I love him..." Kesuta said.
"As do I... so we must protect him, and everyone... We must break this curse on our family, without having to take our own lives, as precious as they are." Korume said nodding.
"...a-alright then! We'll do this, as sisters!" Kesuta said, her spirits raised, as she squeezed her sister's hands, "And then when this is all over, we'll both marry Link and we can raise his children together!"
"...I'd like that." smiled Korume, as a strange power started to spiral around the two of them...
Meanwhile, Link, Nabooru and Nemisa were gasping out from their fight with Twinrova, which despite their numbers, she had easily surpassed them in strength. They watched helplessly as Aviel impacted into the ground.
"Ugh... she's too strong..." Aviel groaned, she took a second to check her arrow quiver, "And I'm out of arrows..."
"Ohohohoho!" laughed Twinrova, "Mere child's play, now to crush the lot of you and claim our new power from the ice mystic!" With that, she started to conjure a large fireball in her hand, growing bigger by the second.
"We... can't do it like this..." Nemisa gasped, "We need more help..."
Link took a deep breath and stepped in front of the girls with his shield out, not sure how good it would do against such a powerful move, but he'd try regardless.
"Now burn you inferior fools!" Twinrova shouted casting down the fireball at the four...
Only for a burst of ice to come down and block off the fireball.
"W-What?!" exclaimed Twinrova, "You meddlesome mystics, I'll- huh?!" she looked up to see what Korume had done, only see the two mystic sisters had their hands pressed against each other's as magic spiraled around their bodies. Everyone turned and watched as Kesuta and Korume's bodies floated up into the air, the magic energy covering them both, and then in a flash of fire and ice, a powerful burst went off, and when the energy dissipated, everyone was at a loss of what they saw.
"N-No way..." Nabooru exclaimed.
"K-Kesuta, Korume...?" Link called out.
Floating in front of them was a beautiful woman. She was quite tall, having a good two feet over the already tall Nabooru. A jewel on her forehead was half orange and half blue like Twinrova's but smaller, and her hair was made from pure flames and aurora which was formed into ponytails that spiraled down to the ends. She had a young face with dark healthy tanned skin. Rather then an outfit, she had fire and ice formed around her that barely covered her rather ample chest and showed off her flat stomach and wide hips. She had fire and ice energy spiraling around her waist and loins like a sash that stuck out in two directions, showing off a pair of long legs. From her knees down to her feet were engulfed in fire on one end and ice on the other.
The woman narrowed her red and blue eyes and spoke out, sounding as if there were two people talking at once, both voices very familiar.
"We... will not allow you to hurt our husband!"
And with that, she brought up her hands and created a flaming whip in one hand and an icy spear in the other.
"The two of them fused together?!" Link exclaimed, "Just like Twinrova?!"
"She's beautiful..." Aviel said, her mouth agape in shock.
"Impossible..." Twinrova scowled, "It took us over two hundred years to master the fusion technique, yet they figured it out at their age?! They'll pay for this mockery!"
Twinrova quickly shot out a barrage of fire and ice magic directly at the other fused woman, who simply brought up her elemental weapons and swung them down, appropriately countering Twnrova's ice with fire and her fire with ice respectively.
"We shall help our husband now, you may call us... Dualsera!" the fused mystics said.
"D-Dualsera?" Link asked.
"Like our name? We made it up just now!" Dualsera snickered. The others could hear Kesuta's single voice coming out of her in that moment as she was waving her arm cheerfully.
"You made it up, I said it was stupid." Dualsera then said in Korume's annoyed voice.
"That's it, I'm going to destroy you all!" Twinrova exclaimed in anger, bringing up her broom wands and casting out dark fire and ice down on them.
The group evaded the attacks while Dualsera herself cast down her own fire and ice magic to block against it. Twinrova then rushed at Dualsera and the two clashed with broom wands versus flame whips and ice spears.
"You're nothing but a pretender, soon your magic shall be mine!" Twinrova shouted.
"Try us you old hags." Dualsera said narrowing her eyes.
Twinrova fired out a wave of fire, but Dualsera flipped in a loop, to evade it and jab at Twinrova with her ice spear. Twinrova quickly moved left and right to dodge the barrage of spears Dualsera sent at her, but then she brought up her flaming leg up and kicked Twinrova across the face. Twinrova snarled and formed two ice blocks, slamming Dualsera between them, but she brought up her hands and feet to block the blocks, her fire side melting the left block, then hurling the other block at Twinrova, who quickly countered by blowing it up with fire, only for Dualsera to rush through the ice shards and strike Twinrova across her body with her flame whip.
"Kyyyaaa!" screamed Twinrova, flying backwards, smashing against the wall.
"Impressive, she's quite strong!" Nemisa exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Take her down Dualsera!" Aviel shouted.
"S-She's amazing..." Link said, staring up at Kesuta and Korume's fused body.
Dualsera took a small glance behind her and saw Link gawking at her. Her face flushed lightly and smiled.
"Hey Korume, Link's checkin' us out with a gaze of lust," Kesuta whispered.
"Fufufu... I think I can get used to this form... and this ample bust." her sister rhymed with a dark chuckle. She took a moment to lift their chest a bit to check it's firmness, while sticking her rear end up behind her, and then turned to see Link quickly look away, his face a beet-red.
"Hee hee... we'll have to experiment with this body when this is all done." Kesuta giggled.
"And we'll have to make sure Link participates in the fun..." Korume rhymed.
"What are they whispering about?" Aviel asked the others while they watched Dualsera giggling to herself.
"I have a feeling Link's life is going to get a lot more complicated soon." snickered Nabooru.
"Hoo boy." Link said sweatdropping.
While that was going on, Twinrova pulled herself from the indent she made in the wall and narrowed her eyes.
"You... little..." snarled Twinrova, "How can you have this kind of power?!
"Maybe if you concentrated better instead of just making me do all the work!" she then shouted to herself.
"Huh?" everyone went staring at Twinrova.
"YOU doing all the work?!" shouted Twinrova, "I'm more then a match for these fools myself! You're the load!"
"Maybe if you weren't so busy picking wax outta your ears and working on your magic we'd be winning!"
"Good idea, then maybe I wouldn't have to hear that shrill voice of yours!"
"Is... she arguing with herself?" Link asked sweatdropping.
As Twinrova continued to yell at herself, her body started twitching and shaking. One of her eyes stared to bulge until it bugged out., then the other, then a third eye formed on her cheek. Her voice started to shift between normal and crotchety, and her skin seemed to suddenly change from tan to gray to a yellowish-green, an arm seemed to grow out from her side and another leg grew out of her right leg.
"Eww... What's happening to her...?" Aviel asked, covering her mouth.
"I think the fusion between the two is weakening..." Korume muttered from inside Dualsera.
"They're somehow uglier now then when they're separated..." Nabooru said with her face paled.
"Grrr... this is your fault!" Twinrova shouted to Dualsera, "You'll pay for this with both your lives!"
The jewel on Twinrova's forehead gave off a strange color, as her disfigured eyes turned a dark purple, with lightning practically shooting out from her, as dark energy spiraled around her arms to the broom wands, which ignited with purple and black flames and ice. She sent them both out at Dualsera, who quickly blocked the attack with her whip and spear, but started to find herself struggling.
"We have to do something!" Nabooru exclaimed, "Not even Dualsera can fight against power like that!"
Link paused and looked up at Twinrova, staring closely at her head in particular.
"Wait, I got an idea!" Link said.
He then shot his Longshot into the air and grappled onto a small statue. He then shot himself to another ledge which placed him right above Twinrova and a struggling Dualsera.
"Damn... not used to this fused form's power yet.." Dualsera muttered.
"Hyyyaaah!"
She then looked up to see Link shouting out, jumping down from the ledge with his sword drawn, as he struck the blade down on the large jewel on Twinrova's head, impacting it with such force that it shifted and crackled.
"Y-Yeeeoouuch!" screamed Twinrova, falling backwards, as the dark energy around her started to diminish a bit.
Link landed to the ground and looked up to see Twinrova's head was lowered and was shaking,
"Grrr... you little rat, how could you have known...?" Twinrova scowled, clutching at her head.
"Just a guess." Link simply stated.
"Grrr... We'll finish you off for that!" she shouted, lunging right at him, only for her attack to be blocked by Dualsera. Twinrova's eyes widened as she felt her power depleting quickly.
"You won't hurt him again, witches." she said angerly, summoning up all her power and blasting Twinrova into the air with a combined force of fire and ice.
"Kyyyaaa!"
Twinrova started to recover from the impact in midair, only to see Nemisa hanging from Aviel's legs above her, the bird girl swung her legs out and Nemisa let go, launching her into the air, and allowing her to do a flip and deliver a flying kick across Twinrova's face, sending her right back downwards.
Link and Nabooru took a look to each other and nodded, Link wielding his sword and Nabooru holding her twin scimitars, the two ran and jumped at Twinrova in midair, the two of them delivering a combined slash attack that cut right through Twinrova, causing her to scream out in pain and impact into the ground.
Everyone watched as Twinrova's already deformed body started to convulse and shift, until she burst apart back into the twin witches Koume and Kotake.
"Ah heh... hehehehee..." Koume giggled, rising up from where they had fallen, "We're stronger then I thought, even after all that I'm not feeling any fatigue..."
"Yes, I think it's time we finish them off..." Kotake cackled by her sister's side.
"Hey, you old crones; look above you." Nabooru pointed out.
The two witches both took a look up above them and saw they both had strange shining halos over their heads, a bright light was coming down on them, and their bodies were slowly starting to float into the air.
"W-What is this...?" Kotake asked.
The two of them floated there for a seconds until they realized what was going on.
"But I can't go yet! I'm only 500 years old!"
"And I'm only 300!"
"We're twins! How can you be younger?!"
"You must be senile!"
"That's no way to talk to your big sister!"
"Didn't you just say we're the same age?!"
The two witches continued to rant and rave as they were slowly ascending into the air.
"I'm getting deja vu in more ways then one from this..." Link said sweatdropping.
The two witches' bantering soon stopped as they looked up and faded away into the great beyond, and the last words the group heard before they vanished...
"We'll come back to haunt you!"
Assured the two witches were gone for good, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
"It's over then..." Nabooru said, "Good riddance."
Link's gaze then went down to the ground where the two witches once were, and saw a strange jewel laying on the ground. It was the one embedded in Twinrova's forehead, the one Link had hit to weaken her power.
"Hmm..."
"What's on your mind Link?" Nabooru asked.
He then took a look up and saw the statue of the goddess Aifet, staring at it intently. Nodding to himself, he lifted the jewel in one arm and aiming his Longshot at the ceiling. He fired it, shooting him into the air and putting him right in front of the statue's forehead, where he took the jewel and pushed it right into the indent.
"It fit!" Aviel exclaimed in surprise.
The jewel let off a brilliant burst of light, and in a flash, it was secured into the statue's forehead, with all the damage done to it seemingly wiped away clean.
"Huh, so that was the sacred jewel that Twinrova stole." Nemisa said.
"Seems they were at least right about that part at least." Nabooru nodded.
In that moment, as Link stared at the jewel, he could have shown he heard an unfamiliar and powerful, but sweet voice...
"Hey, thanks for that, kid!"
"Huh...?"
"Those damn witches were blocking off my ability to communicate with your mystics, but you all set things right! I can't thank you enough, and I'm sure you're going to make a great king for my people."
Link paused in thought at what he had just heard, "Was that..."
"Link, you okay?" called out Aviel.
"Oh, uh... yeah, sure."
Dualsera stared up at Link, as he lowered himself down to the ground. He took a look up to the statue once more and paused, getting down on one knee and putting his hands together. Everyone watched as the jewel on the statue's head shone brightly, and they too all got down on their knees in prayer of the desert goddess. Dualsera herself walked slowly up to Link's side and got on both knees and put her hands together in prayer alongside him.
"May Aifet watch over our ancestors... and that they may rest in peace now, the burden on our family has now been lifted." Dualsera said.
"Thanks to you two." Link smiled.
"Thanks to all of you." Dualsera said, "You all came to our aide without even being asked, we can't thank you enough."
The two of then stood up, Link finding himself looking up at Dualsera, who towered a good three feet over him.
"And as for you, our beloved hero..." Dualsera said smiling, she then took a surprised Link and lifted him up effortlessly into the air, hugging his body against her ample chest. The fire and ice covering her didn't even faze him in the slightest, due to the natural control the two mystics had over their power.
Dualsera pulled him away, and the two stared into each other's eyes. Despite the power of the fusion, Link could see in Dualsera's red and blue eyes that Kesuta and Korume were in there; the two mystics he had grown to care so much about overtime, and the devotion they had to their people. It was something he could greatly admire and love about both of them.
As beautiful as the two were as their normal selves, seeing the two of them now in their fused form was even more of a sight then before, with her taller and more powerful body also came a more accentuated and alluring figure; a rather bountiful chest and wide hips, and he honestly had a hard time tearing his eyes from her anymore. As inappropriate as it might have been in that moment, a part of him thought about what it would be like to take the whole of her in bed with him...
It seemed Dualsera had the same idea though, as she then drew Link into a deep and passionate kiss, which he found himself returning.
"O-Ooh wow..." Aviel exclaimed, blushing bright red
"It seems our king has indeed found his next wife... or wives... whatever." Nabooru smirked.
"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this point." Nemisa said shrugging.
"Don t worry Nemisa, I'm sure it'll be your turn soon." Nabooru giggled, causing Nemisa to cough awkwardly.
It was then in a flash of light, where Dualsera once stood, there was how Kesuta and Korume, the two of them both still hugging and kissing Link.
Kesuta was the first to break the kiss, tickling his chest with her fingers, "Thank you our dear Link, you've saved us and brought our pain to an absolute fin..."
Korume then hesitatingly broke the kiss as well, stroking his face with her hand, and spoke in a seductive tone, "We both love you so much, and soon we'll bless you with our future kin..."
"...I'd be honored." Link smiled, and the three of them pulled themselves into a group hug.
"Oh my, sounds like the lot of you had quite an adventure." Ruto said, putting a hand to her cheek.
Link and everyone had arrived back at the palace by the next day to tell Ruto and Koleima the unfortunate truth of the situation, as well as the good news that it was over.
"I still can't believe my sister had to die for some cruel trick by those two... witches..." Koleima said, putting a hand to her heavy heart. However, she took a deep breath and smiled softly, "... ...but I am glad you were able to finally put an end to it, and my sister can rest in peace... You did us a great service, my king, Lady Nabooru, all of you."
"It was a pleasure finally doing in those two for good." smirked Nabooru.
"We couldn't have done it without your daughters either." Link said nodding.
"I didn't even think it was possible for others in our family to perform the fusion technique, I'm so proud of you, my daughters!" Koleima said, hugging them both.
"Aw come on mum, not in front of our husband-to-be..." Kesuta said blushing.
"Mmph." Korume muffled from being trapped in her mother's grip.
"Ooooh! I feel so blessed that my cute little girls are going to marry our king!" Koleima anxiously said squeezing the two of them, causing Korume to scramble her arms around frantically to break free, "Just wait until Neagofe down the street hears about this, I'm going to have SO many grandchildren she'll be seething with jealousy!"
"Speaking of which, when are we going to get started on that?" Kesuta asked Link with a smug grin.
"Yes, I'd like to share some private time with him myself..." Kurume purred, clinging to his right arm.
"Well..." Link trialed off, "I'm not really ready for kids quite yet..."
"Yeah, at least wait to do that kind of thing until I leave back to Zora's Domain first!" Ruto said annoyed, taking Link's left arm protectively.
Link chuckled nervously and looked over to Nabooru, who grinned smugly and gave him a double thumbs up.
'I'm really in over my head.' Link thought.
"Ah, it must be nice having a sister by blood. The two of you are so inseparable that you're both gonna be Link's wives!" smiled Aviel, looking to Kesuta and Korume.
"Perhaps a little TOO inseparable at times..." muttered Korume under her breath.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" exclaimed Kesuta, getting pretty hotblooded..
"I mean those nights when I'm trying to rest and you decide to wander into my bed." said Korume with a cold stare.
"What's wrong with a little skinship between sisters?!" Kesuta shouted.
"Nothing unless your sister is a total bedhog." Korume muttered.
"Well, better a bedhog then a bedwetter!"
"W-What? You told me you'd never bring that up again...!"
"Ha! After you snitched on me about tracking mud into the mystic tent, I'd say it's fair game!"
"Um, we're still here." Link brought up during their squabble, causing the two to stop.
"Ack, we just blurted all that out in front of our future husband?!" exclaimed Kesuta stamping her foot.
"This is clearly your fault." said Korume, squeezing Link's arm tighter.
"Mine?!"
The two mystic twins of Gerudo Town went to arguing for some time, and the group couldn't help but laugh with amusement and joy at their banter and the celebration.
Meanwhile Nemisa was staring out the window, watching the stars in the sky. She reached her arm towards her wrist and gripped it a bit. Her eyes were glazed over, as she reflected on Nabooru's words from earlier.
"Don t worry Nemisa, I'm sure it'll be your turn soon."
Nemisa closed her eyes and sighed, thinking to herself.
'Soon... yes, as soon as I get that information... I can finally do what must be done...'
Link's eyes opened, and he took a look around at his surroundings. It was all too familiar to him, yet unknown at the same time. He was back in that strange mist again, the one he would occasionally appear in while he was dreaming.
After the meeting with Nabooru, the group had all gone to bed to rest from the battle. Ruto in particular had taken time to help Link recover from his injuries against Twinrova, before treating him to a pleasureful experience in bed, and he passed out shortly afterwards.
Now he found himself in that strange place once more. He still couldn't make out exactly what was around him, though he noticed leaves floating from somewhere, something he hadn't seen before until now. He could feel grass beneath his feet, at least assuring him he was in an outside place... or at least he thought he was...
"Hey there buddy, how's it goin'?"
Link quickly turned around to see that mysterious man again, his features were still impossible for Link to make out.
"Okay, enough of these mind games, just who are you?" Link asked.
"Heh, alright. I guess I'll level with you a bit, I'm a part of you, kinda." the man said.
"Kinda...?"
"I didn't always used to be, but now that I am I can't leave. It's been pretty boring for the most part, but lately I've been getting a few rushes of excitement."
Link just stood there confused, not sure what exactly he was talking about.
"Well, I gotta go. Have some fun with those ladies of yours!" he snickered.
That was when Link went the ground give out from under him and went falling back into the dark void once again...
Link opened his eyes, and found himself laying back on his bed of pillows. He was a bit concerned to say the least, his dreams were getting more clear, yet more confusing at the same time.
"Just what do those dreams mean...?" Link pondered to himself, he worried about what was to come, and anxiety was slowly developing in him.
It was then he felt a soft and cool sensation, and he looked down to see Ruto sleeping and holding him closely around the chest. Link's worries from before seemed to just melt away looking at the Zora's blissful face at that moment.
'It's nice to relay on the people I love when I need it...' he thought to himself, giving his fiance a gentle kiss, before going back to sleep beside her.
And that ends the arc. With one of the biggest thorns in the Gerudo's side gone, and the group only growing stronger an closer from their adventures, they're more prepared for anything that'll come... or are they?
Next time, we finally take a look into the past of a certain man-hating bodyguard. This might take a little longer then the stories up to this point, as this story took a few rewrites for me to get it put together. Stay tuned!
