Howdy folks, it's time for Chapter 91! Before we move into the next major arc, I thought I'd take a little time to do some breather chapters and take requests from my readers. For this chapter, an familiar friend has come to Gerudo Town for some help, but just what could be the real power they're facing...?
"Oh great, it's this again..."
Link looked around to find himself in a familiar place, a strange grass field with a large towering object in the distance. There was a fog around him that before made it difficult to make out just what it was, but the fog was starting to clear up more and more over the past times he had been here, and he was now aware of just where exactly he was.
"But why here of all places...?" Link muttered, "Last time I was here it was when..."
CLANG! CLASH! CLANG!
Link was jolted out of his thoughts and turned to see two figures going at each other in the fog, One was a man in ragged clothing wielding a two-handed sword, and he was fighting against a skeletal knight of some sort that reminded Link of a Stalfos, and it was clad in gold armor that he had never seen before.
The skeleton muttered something as it swung it's worn, rusty sword at the man, who was doing everything he could hold it back.
"What the hell are you saying? I can barely understand you! And why the hell are you wearing that armor of all things?!" the man shouted, slashing back at the skeleton, "Would you just get your boney-ass out of here already?!"
Link said and did nothing, but watched the two carefully. Just as he was finally starting to get an idea of who that man was, now this new warrior had shown themselves, and he was even more at a loss of who it could possibly be.
The man leaped through the air and brought his sword down at the skeleton, who blocked it with it's shield and drove him back with a sword swing. The skeleton then stated doing a strange spin as it came right at the man, who quickly panicked and started deflecting slashes from above and below.
"The hell is going on, why are you using that sword style?!" the man shouted, before an attack deflected away his sword. The skeleton thrust forward but the man stepped out of the way and swung out his sword again, bashing the skeleton away. The skeleton staggered a bit, before it stood up straight and tall. It's helmet was tilted a bit, showing it was missing an eye. Then the skeleton vanished into the fog and left Link and the man alone.
"Ugh... damnit... he's getting stronger each time I fight him..." groaned the man. He turned to see Link standing there, and sported a big grin with a wave, "Oh hey buddy, been a while hasn't it?"
"Not long enough." Link said narrowing his eyes.
"Hey, I can't help it. You keep giving in after all!" the man shrugged, "With the way you went all out on those shitty birds that attacked your new sex toy with the wings, I was so damn close to escaping!"
"Don't you dare call Aviel that." Link said narrowing his eyes coldly, "I don't care what you try, I'm never going to let you free to do what you want."
"Heh heh, you keep saying that, but it's getting harder to resist the more it happens, isn't it?" snickered the man, "I wonder when the day comes that you do something you'll regret...?"
"..." Link didn't say a word but glared at the man before him.
"Well guess it's about time for you to wake up, see you next time buddy!" the man said, walking off back into the fog.
Link simply closed his eyes as he prepared himself for what was going to happen, as the ground opened up beneath him and he fell into an abyss below...
Link woke and sat up, taking a moment to see where he was. It was still nighttime, and he was in his bedroom at Gerudo Palace.
It had been two days since he, Aviel and their friends defeated the storm dragon Geelorokhi and came home from the Rito village of Dhaijialoft. After arriving back home, they met Aviel's parents Kozun and Amala, and Aviel was ecstatic to be reunited with them after ten years.
Typically Hylian men like Kozun were forbidden from staying in Gerudo Town for very long, but Nabooru decided to go a little more lenient on the law so that he could stay another week, and allow Aviel to spend some much needed quality time with her parents before they went back out on the road. Even right now Aviel was staying in the guest room with her parents.
As for Link himself, he was in bed with Sarami. She had missed him over the course of the week he had been gone with Aviel on their journey to Snowpeak so he obliged her into a hot night of love-making. Sarami said she had a estimation of something big happening the next day at the palace that she'd be needed for anyway...
Link stared down at the doctor, ran a hand through her silky hair and smiled warmly, whenever he woke up from those strange dreams of his, he'd always take comfort in the people that loved him to help quell his anxiety.
It's not that he didn't want to tell Nabooru and the others about the strange dreams and who he eventually learned it to be, but there was too much going on at that time for them to be worrying about something like that, what with the Ebony Sisterhood rebellion, the upcoming meeting with the Hylian Parliament, as well as recently being made aware of the mysterious cult known as the Order of Reyahm...
He laid back down and puts his arms around Sarami's waist, pressing her against him. She moaned out a bit in bliss as she cuddled, and he could feel her large breasts press against him as she did. Her curvy body was so soft, and while she sometimes complained about her slight weight gain recently, he didn't mind in the slightest. He would just assure her how much of a beautiful woman she was and she'd give him a wonderful award-winning smile.
'I just have to stay strong for everyone's sake...' Link thought to himself as his eyelids started to grow heavy, and he drifted back to sleep once again.
'Just stay strong...'
"Just stay strong!"
"It... hurts so much... please... make it stop!"
"You're almost there Sister Leivuri! Keep going!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
It was the next morning after Link's dream, and he and Sarami had just been alerted that his childbearer Leivuri was feeling strange. It seemed that Sarami's guess was right, and Leivuri had just gone into labor with Link's child. With the help of the Link and the nurses, Sarami had Leivuri safely escorted from the childbearer's quarters to the medical room of the palace. Nabooru was also there to assist in the process.
Link was gripping Leivuri's hand firmly as she was trying her hardest to bring her first child into the world, but it was a difficult and painful process. As a Gerudo who was never trained as a warrior, Leivuri never experienced a level of pain like this, the worst she ever had was pricking her finger once in a while while learning to sew.
"I can't take it!" Leivuri screamed out.
"It's okay Leivuri, you can do this." Link spoke to her, his reassuring voice and firm grip were helping her anxiety, "It's time for your daughter to see the world for the first time."
Leivuri's tear filed eyes gazed at Link as she nodded, then went right back to her work.
"Waaaaah! Waaaah!"
"Congratulations Leivuri! You have a wonderful baby girl!" Sarami said cheerfully, handing the newborn Gerudo to her mother.
"My baby... by the goddess Aifet... my baby..." sobbed Leivuri, accepting her new daughter and holding her protectively in her arms.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Link looked on to the new mother holding her child, admiring how she handled her labor. He then stared down at the baby in her arms, astonished at the sight of her. This wasn't just Leivuri's child, but his own as well. Link was a father now, a real father.
"Leivuri, you did great work." Link smiled, with tears of his own in his eyes.
"Thank you my king..." Leivuri said softly, as the two shared a kiss.
"You've done masterful work Leivuri. The first Gerudo child of our great King." Nabooru assured her with a smirk, "I can already tell she shall be a strong and healthy child." she looked to Link, "And fine work from you as well Link, keep this up and our people will truly have a prosperous future!"
"Will do." Link nodded.
"So what did you decide to name her?" Sarami asked.
"Me and Link discussed it together, and we've decided to call her Tulisi." Leivuri said with a beautiful smile.
"Well it was mostly Leivuri who came up with it." Link said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "I just liked it cause it sounds sort of like 'tulip'."
"Oh that's so cute!" Sarami giggled, "A wonderful job by you both!"
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" the four heard from outside, "Where is it? I wanna see Link's baaabyyy!"
"Aviel, calm the hell down or the guards are going to arrest you!" they heard Nemisa say.
"Oh don't act innocent, you were running faster than me!" Aviel retorted.
"Hey, what are you two doing?!" shouted a guard.
"Uh oh, run away!" Aviel shouted.
"They'll probably have to wait a little while longer before they can see her." giggled Sarami, "Why don't you hold her Link?"
"Oh, sure!" Link nodded eagerly, taking Tulisi from Leivuri and holding her in his arms, making sure to hold her head as Sarami instructed before. He was astonished at the small child, this was his daughter, one born into the Gerudo's blossoming new era. He knew she had a great future ahead of her, and he would do everything in his power to make sure she lived a full and happy life.
Sarami looked to Link with a smile of her own, she recalled how nervous he was when he helped Maifeki give birth to her own child two years ago. Seeing him do it now without a hint of worry or hesitation showed just how much he had grown as a person. And Sarami couldn't wait for the day she and Link could start having a family together as well.
She took a glance over to Nabooru in that moment as Link and Leivuri were playing with Tulisi. She was staring out at the three of them with an uncertain look in her eyes, but looked away when she realized Sarami was looking at her. Sarami giggled a little to herself; this wasn't the first time she caught her friend Nabs looking at Link that way, despite her objections to the contrary.
"Once you've rested we'll get you cleaned up." Sarami said, then added with a small grin, "Did you want Link to join you in the bath?"
"Aaaaah, no!" exclaimed Leivuri, covering her face, "It'd be far too embarrassing!"
"But helping you give birth wasn't?" a nurse spoke in confusion.
"Well congratulations, 'Dad'," Nabooru teased Link as the two walked down the halls of the palace, "You finally had your first Gerudo child, and certainly not your last!"
"Yeah, I never thought I'd see the day." Link said, unable to resist smiling, "Tulisi may be not be the child of one of my fiances, but I'm going to sure treat her like she is."
"From what Sarami told me, Ragome should be giving birth any time soon herself. I hope you're prepared to deal with that powder-keg woman and her twins!" Nabooru smirked.
"Ah heh heh... so how about Esolu?" Link asked about the third of his initial childbearers.
"Sarami said she might still have a bit of a way to go. She's guessing it must have taken you two a few tries to get her pregnant compared to the other two." Nabooru said.
Link paused on that note and took a glance over to Nabooru, he found himself gazing at her beautiful figure, how her hips swayed left and right as she walked, and her chest bounced a bit with each step as well. He thought of the hot nights he'd spend with her as she was training him in sexual techniques, though those days had become less frequent then they used to be since he was putting what he learned into practice with his fiances.
"So while we're on the subject, do you ever think you'd ever want to have kids yourself Nabooru?" Link asked.
Nabooru stopped on her tracks and stood silently, making Link stop as well and turn back to her in confusion. She seemed to be staring intently down at the ground for some reason. Before he could even ask her what was wrong, she rose her head up and sported a light smirk,
"Why Link, how sneaky of you to just throw that out there so casually." Nabooru chuckled, "But I'm going to have to pass, I'm not even close to thinking about anything like having kids at the moment."
Link chuckled a bit with a light blush, "Yeah, I guess we still got a lot to do, especially that meeting with Ruto, Darunia, Impa and the Kokiri in another month."
"Oh, that reminds me Link." Nabooru said, snapping her fingers, "I received a note this morning saying that thing you ordered is just about ready. They said you can pick it up later this afternoon."
"Good, it's about time." Link grinned, "I think she's going to love it!"
"Lady Nabooru! King Link!" spoke out a Gerudo guard as she and another guard came running up to the two, "We had a visitor at the gate requesting an audience with you! But when we told them you were busy, they leaped over the gate!"
"The other guards are trying to find them as we speak!"
"That sounds like trouble, it could be a rebel, or an assassin." Link said.
"Just what did they look like, were they a Gerudo?" Nabooru asked.
"They didn't look Gerudo at all and she didn't give us her name. She's a tall woman, and for some reason she was completely nude except for a white fur pelt she's wearing." the guard explained.
"And she's got really big bonzangas!" said the other guard, lifting up her own chest to emphasize her words.
"Uh... yeah," the lead guard said with a sweatdrop going down her head, "She also had three Desert Wolfos accompanying her, but they're just sitting at the front gate as we speak."
"...what do you think Link? Sound familiar?" Nabooru asked with a light smirk.
"Honestly right now I'm still focusing on the word, 'bozangas'." Link said.
"Wait, there she is!" shouted one of the guards pointing to a high up window in the hall. Standing there was the figure of a large being with pointy ears and a long tail.
The guards were about to confront the creature, but Link brought up his arm and held them back. The creature leaped from the window, as Link went into a defensive pose. It lunged down and Link quickly did a back flip to avoid it, as it stared out at Link with piercing blue eyes. The two stared each other down for a moment as the guards looked on nervously.
"It's you..." Link spoke.
"..."
The creature then lunged at Link and grabbed him, the guards were about to strike the creature but came to a stop when they saw what it was doing to him.
It was a tall human woman with long white hair, pointy wolf ears, and large arms and legs covered in fur, with paws and claws instead of hands and human feet. She also had a line of white fur around her neck, and under that was a pair of massive, round breasts.
What surprised the guards more though was that the woman was affectionately licking at Link's mouth with her long tongue, and Link was just standing there motionless, sporting an amused grin as she did.
"It's good to see you again, friend Link." the tall woman said standing upright, her tongue still sticking out.
"You too Sheeva." Link grinned, "But next time wait at the gate until the guards let you in."
"Hmph, the women at the gate were taking too long, and I don't like being kept waiting." Sheeva said bluntly.
"What the hell was she doing Your Highness, taste-testing you?!" exclaimed a guard.
"It's okay, she's part wolfos." Link assured them with a grin, "It's just how she shows affection to those in her pack."
Sheeva turned to Nabooru, "A pleasure to see you as well, Lady Nabooru."
"Likewise, I was hoping you'd come to see-" but Nabooru was cut off when Sheeva lunged at her, grabbed her by her arms and started licking her on the mouth as well, much to her surprise.
"Uh, let the wolfos she had with her in and have them escorted to the palace." Link said to the guards.
"Guaaaaah..." Nabooru groaned with her eyes spiraling and a light blush on her cheeks.
"So Lady Sheeva of the Desert Wolfos." Nabooru spoke wiping the spit off her face as she, Link and Sheeva sat in the dining room, "I see you're still half human."
"Yes, it's taken some time to adjust to it, I'm not as powerful as I used to be as a full wolfos, but I've made due." Sheeva said. She lifted up a cup of water to drink it, only for it to bump it against one of her breasts. The woman narrowed her eyes and her ears folded back, as she clutched at the chest, "Though these stupid things keep getting in my way."
Nabooru took a glance at Link who was drinking a cup of water, trying to avert his eyes from Sheeva. The Gerudo leader chuckled a little and spoke to the half-wolfos.
"So what do we owe the pleasure of having you invade our home Lady Sheeva?" Nabooru asked, as she lifted a empty plate from the table to hold it up between her and Link.
"Well I'll cut right to the chase." Sheeva said clearing her throat, "King Link, I'm interesting in mating and having pups with you."
Link promptly spit out his drink in surprise at Sheeva's blunt words, the water splashed right off of the plate Nabooru was holding which kept her dry.
"What?!" Link asked, "You're not back to trying to make me the leader of your pack, are you? I don't really want to be a wolf!"
"Relax, that's not what I have in mind." Sheeva said, "You see, while I am more human than before, I still have some instincts as a wolf, and I'm starting to enter my period of heat. I thought since we're allies now, that perhaps having some offspring would help with that. That is, if you don't mind Lady Nabooru."
"Sounds fine to me." Nabooru nodded, "How about you Link, you feeling up for it? I know you've been busy in bed lately with the girls."
"Nah I'm feeling pretty good today actually." Link nodded, before blushing and scratching his cheek as he looked over at Sheeva, "You're sure about doing something like this though?"
"Of course." Sheeva nodded, suddenly jumping onto the table, grabbing Link by his vest and carrying him off out of the room under her arm, "Just tell me which way your living quarters is and we can get started."
"Hey, I have legs you know!" Link protested.
"Heh heh, good luck with her Link!" Nabooru laughed out waving to him.
"So when was the last time you slept with someone Sheeva?" Link asked as he was undoing his belt in his bedroom, he glanced over his shoulder at the half-human half-wolf woman who was laying on his pillows.
"You have quite a comfortable bed here." Sheeva said, running her paw along the material of the pillows and seeming to be ignoring his question, "I moved my people to Grinder's Ridge so that we could live more comfortably, but it's been ages since I've been on a real bed, and since I was turned into this half-human form I've found it harder to get comfortable sleeping as I used to."
"Probably cause you have less fur. If you like, I can see about getting you a bed shipped out to your home." Link said.
"That would-" Sheeva's eyes seemed to lit up at that, but for some reason she hesitated and looked away, "N-Never mind, forget I even mentioned that... For now though, how about we concentrate on impregnating me?"
"...alright then." Link shrugged as he removed the last of his clothing.
Sheeva gazed at Link's body; he seemed bulkier than when they first met, though he didn't have much in the way of body hair, she found his athletic build quite inciting. She caught herself staring at his firm rear end and turned away slightly with a light blush.
Link turned just as Sheeva stood herself up and started to slowly walk over to him. He looked to her beautiful human face with willowy white hair flowing around it. For someone with such an intimidating stare, her eyes were a tranquil calming blue, and he found her wolf ears to be pretty cute. She had a gorgeous hourglass figure with large round breasts and generous hips, yet also having a lean frame with muscular abs. He wasn't sure if she was aware, but she had a certain sensual stride in her walking, her hips slowly shifting left and right as she did. Her long white tail was swaying behind her, showing her to be anxious, and maybe a little nervous about what they were about to do.
"You seem quite ready for this." Sheeva spoke with a slight smirk, looking down at the area between Link's legs.
"Heh, can't help myself. You're a gorgeous woman." Link said grinning.
She stared down at Link and leaned forward, putting her paw against the back of his head and pulling him into a deep kiss. He brought his hand up and cupped her cheek as he returned the kiss. The two soon fell back against his bed as Link started to feel around her body, running his hands through the fur on her arms as she ran her other paw over his strong back. He reached up one hand and cupped her breast, causing her to gasp out. Sheeva could feel her heated instincts grow, begging to mate with the man before her, while her legs fidgeted and squirmed in anticipation.
"Link..." Sheeva gasped out, "I'm ready..."
"Then let's get started." Link spoke, quickly laying her down onto the pillows and getting up into position.
"Huh...?" Sheeva spoke in surprise at his assertive movement. She stared up at Link as he was over her, and a strange feeling was creeping into the back of her mind.
"Sheeva?" Link asked curiously, seeing a very disturbed look in Sheeva's eyes, before the wolf woman suddenly screamed out.
"...so a little trouble in paradise, you two?" Nabooru joked at Link and Sheeva sitting at the dining room table about half an hour later.
"Something like that..." Link muttered with multiple bumps all over his head, glancing over in annoyance at Sheeva, who was trying to look away with an embarrassed face.
While the two of them thought they were ready to mate, just as he was about to start, the wolf woman suddenly panicked and punched Link clear across the bedroom, and he had crashed right into the wall behind him. After Link recovered from the impact they gave up on their plans, and two went back to the dining room to see Nabooru.
"I... apologize for what happened King Link." Sheeva said.
"What happened exactly, did you get cold feet Lady Sheeva?" Nabooru asked.
"Nonsense, my feet don't get cold that easily." Sheeva said lifting up one of her wolf legs.
"She didn't mean literally." Link said sweatdropping, "Did I do something wrong back there?"
"No it wasn't you, it's just me." Sheeva muttered, "I thought I could be okay mating with a human, but... something made it... difficult..."
Nabooru just watched carefully at the distant look in Sheeva's eyes. Something about it felt unusual... but familiar to her.
"...I see." Nabooru nodded, "I think at least part of the problem is that you are still having trouble adjusting to your new self, is that right?"
Sheeva seemed rather surprised at Nabooru's conclusion. She nodded in response.
"Yes... I suppose that's correct." Sheeva said, "My pack still accepts me as their leader, but as I said before it's been difficult for me to adjust, one such thing is mating. After Link turned down my offer for him to be our new alpha male I went seeking out a new one. Unfortunately that didn't go so well, my people are beautiful beings, but I don't find any physical attraction to the males anymore. I've had challengers from other packs to try and become the new alpha male, but I defeated all of them easily."
"Sounds like you're in a rut then." Link said, "Anything we can do for you?"
"I'm not entirely sure what you could do..." Sheeva spoke.
"Perhaps what you need is to get back in touch with your human side. We can help you with that." Nabooru offered.
Sheeva's eyes widened, and she nodded in agreement, "I'd appreciate that, thank you."
"Good, then after that you can go right back to humping Link!" Nabooru laughed out, as Link faulted over backwards in reaction.
"Can we just go?" Link groaned.
Many of the people of Gerudo Town had been out for the day doing their errands, but stopped in their tracks to collectively all stare out as they saw their king Link and their head lady Nabooru walking down the street, accompanied by a large nude woman with wolf ears, arms, legs and a tail. What was just as distracting was that she was accompanied by three wolfos creatures. The wolfos themselves were looking around and sniffing at all the sights and smells of the town.
"It's been about nine years now since I founded Gerudo Town." Nabooru explained to Sheeva, "We left from our old home in Gerudo Fortress to an area where I thought we could live more comfortably. I crafted the buildings here from sandstone using a treasure of our people, the Sand Rod."
"Ah yes, that was one of the treasures I had hoped to obtain back when I was a thief." Sheeva said, "But I couldn't remove it from the shrine it was in."
"Good thing you didn't, the sand goddess Sofuira wouldn't show any mercy to one who takes the rod without her blessing. You should consider yourself lucky the beast goddess Uvooru only made you into a wolf." Nabooru smirked.
Sheeva growled a little at Nabooru's snippy remark, but held herself back when she saw some of the Gerudo around the area looked at her disturbingly.
"Hey, the hell is going on here?! I heard there was some monsters in the town!" shouted a loud deep voice, as everyone turned to see a muscular nine-and-a-half foot tall Gerudo woman walking into the area. She was holding a large warhammer on her shoulders and looked around with an angry scowl.
"It's okay Reirousa!" Link called out with a wave, "Everything's fine, it's just Lady Sheeva that we told you about before, she came to visit us!"
"Oh, I see." Reirousa said, her angry tone quickly turning to a mellow mutter at the sight of her king and friend. She walked up to Sheeva, just barely a few inches taller then the wolfos woman, "So yer our newest ally?"
"Indeed..." Sheeva spoke, even she felt slightly intimidated at the hulking woman before her and the scowl on her face, though she noted the Gerudo's attitude softened slightly after seeing Link.
The three wolfos suddenly sensing danger, all ran up to Sheeva and all stood out in between her and Reirousa, growling angerly at the large Gerudo before them. Reirousa stared down at them with her scowl, and it managed to make her wolfos whimper in fear and back up slightly.
After a moment of dead silence, Reirousa spoke up, "...hey wait, these are wolfos..."
"Yes, they are my people." Sheeva said, standing cautiously of what this powerful woman was capable of, "They joined me in coming here for my protection."
Reirousa knelt down to one wolfos as it was trying to protect Sheeva, but was clearly intimidated by the Gerudo. Reirousa slowly reached out her hand at the wolfos and put it down on the creature's head. The woflos was confused for a second before Reirousa started rubbing her hand gently on it's head.
"Hm?" Sheeva asked.
No one said a word as Reirousa was focusing on rubbing her hand on the wolfos' head. The beast was confused for a moment about what the woman was trying to do to attack it, but started to enjoy the rubbing, it's tail started to wag as it fell over on it's side and Reirousa started rubbing it's belly with both her hands.
"Oh wow, would you look at that." smirked Nabooru.
The other two wolfos both looked at each other in confusion before walking up to Reirousa, as she started to pet them as well.
"Reirousa, I didn't know you liked animals." Link said with an amused grin.
"You kidding me? I love dogs!" Reirousa said, she was grinning widely as she started rubbing the side of one wolfos vigorously while another was licking her affectionately, "I outta knock you guys out for not taking me with you to their place before!"
"She comes off as intimidating, but she took my pack rather well!" Sheeva said with astonishment.
"Yes, appearances can sure be deceiving, huh?" Nabooru smirked.
"I-I suppose so..." muttered Sheeva.
"Hey, can I take your boys out to play?" Reirousa asked with almost childlike excitement as one wolfos was affectionately biting her arm, though she didn't even seem to mind.
"Uh, okay?" Sheeva nodded.
"Hell yeah! Come on boys!" Reirousa said, running off with the three wolfos who took to following after her.
"Well while the four of them are enjoying themselves, how about we get on with our tour then?" Nabooru suggested.
"Sounds good." Link nodded. He paused for a second as he looked Sheeva's body over, before whispering to Nabooru who nodded in agreement.
"Though there's one thing we should probably take of before we do..." the Gerudo spoke.
"Hey! Well it ain't Lady Sheeva!" Togau spoke with a wave and a big toothy grin, "How you getting along with your new form?"
Link and Nabooru had taken Lady Sheeva to the livestock ranch where Togau worked. She had just finished pouring a bucket of slop into a trough for the pigs to eat from and came running over to greet the three of them.
"Ah, you're the Lynel-kitten, hello." Sheeva nodded, "I'm adapting, but these clothes are too hot and tight." she turned to Link and Nabooru, "How did you two talk me into wearing these again?"
Sheeva pulled on the top was she wearing. Both Link and Nabooru agreed it would be a good idea to get the wolf woman some clothes to wear so they stopped at a store in the town. She was now wearing a black tank top that confined her chest, though it was a little small and partially showed her abs and belly button. She also had on tan shorts that were just long enough to cover her crotch area but allow her large legs maneuverability.
"Cause like we said before, we don't need you walking around town nude again." Link pointed out, "You'll set a bad example for the kids."
"But my pups run around without clothes with no problems." Sheeva said.
"Aaand this is exactly why we're taking you on this tour, so that you can relearn what it's like to be a human again, so you can be more comfortable with having Link mate with you." Nabooru said.
"Somehow I think yer still settin' some sorta bad example fer the younguns in that case." Togau said sweatdropping.
"Anyway, can you just show Sheeva around the ranch Togau? Maybe introduce her to your assistants and the animals?" Nabooru suggested.
"Well I suppose so, guess it couldn't hurt." Togau said rubbing the back of her head.
Ten minutes later...
"Fergetit!" shouted Togau in a fit of anger, dragging Sheeva by her paw out of the ranch with Link and Nabooru following after her, "She ain't staying here at the ranch another gosh-dang second!"
"Did I do something wrong?" Sheeva asked, not even struggling as Togau was pulling her.
"Ya kiddin' me? Ya tried to eat mah cuccos!" Togau shouted.
"I did not." Sheeva said looking to the side, showing that some feathers were sticking out of her mouth.
"Liar!"
"We're sorry Togau." Nabooru put her hand to her forehead, "Maybe literally sending a wolf into a cucco's cage wasn't the best way to ease her into things."
"Ugh, it's... …alright I guess." Togau sighed, "After all I know what it's like to go through somethin' like this back when I was cursed by that Lynel mask."
"So how did you get through it then?" Sheeva asked in curiosity.
"Well like I told you before, it was Link who helped me. I tried to keep it all locked up inside of me, but Link saw through it. He, Saria and everyone were real supportive of me no matter how down I was about myself!" Togau grinned.
Sheeva's eyes widened at those words, taking a glance over at Link who was getting an angry stare-down by Togau's pet cucco Imra.
"I see... thank you for that Lynel-kitten." Sheeva nodded to the rancher, "Well Lady Nabooru, I think we're done here, show me to where you wanted to go next." she said as she started to walk off holding a squealing farm pig scrambling it's legs around under her arm.
"Hey, give that piggy back!" Togau exclaimed.
"Class we have some special surprise guests with us today." spoke the teacher of the Gerudo schoolhouse, Ms. Fareafu. She adjusted her glasses as she spoke out to her class of young children, standing alongside Link, Nabooru and Sheeva, "In fact it's a surprise for me too."
"Ooooh! It's the Gerudo king!" exclaimed a student with bright eyes, "He's just as handsome as I've heard!"
"And the great Lady Nabooru!" said another, "What an honor to have them both here!"
'I'm thankful they don't remember me ending up nude in here that one time...' Link thought to himself sweatdropping as he recalled back when he had been stuck in the class in the form of a child.
"Is Ilite not here today?" Link asked the teacher, "I was hoping to introduce her to Lady Sheeva."
"Yes, she's currently in treatment at the medical clinic for her asthma, but she's been allowed to show up more and more in class recently. I'm rather happy to see her so determined to be a part of the class." Fareafu said with a small smile, recalling back when she was so cruel to Ilite before about her asthma.
"Though that does reminds me Your Highness..." Fareafu then said, tapping her ruler down on her palm as she looked to Link with her thin-rimmed glasses giving off a gleam, "You still owe me exactly thirty four days of detention from the trouble you caused that day..."
"I'm not even in your class!" Link shouted in protest.
"Thank you for making time with us Fareafu. I thought it would be a good idea for the children to understand our alliance with Lady Sheeva and the wolfos." Nabooru said, "And perhaps a certain someone else will learn something new as well."
"Of course Lady Nabooru..." Fareafu nodded, as annoyed as she was about her class being interrupted, on the inside she was absolutely ecstatic about Nabooru and Link being here, "Class, this here is Lady Sheeva, the leader of a pack of Desert Wolfos out in the old mining town of Grinder's Ridge."
Sheeva stared out at the classroom, seeing the kids all staring right back with wide eyes at her. She gulped nervously and cleared her throat.
"Um... I-It's a pleasure to meet you all... I've been with the wolfos for six years now... and uh..." Sheeva gulped a bit. She was at a loss for words to say, it didn't help that she was feeling a bit nervous about all the children staring at her. She was starting to wonder if she should just walk out when...
"Wow, she's like a doggie!" called out a girl.
"Huh?"
"Where'd you get those cute dog ears, Ms. Sheeva?" asked a child raising her arm.
"Yeah, and those sleeves, they look real warm!" said another child.
"These are... actually my own ears and arms..." Sheeva spoke looking down at herself.
"WHAT?" exclaimed the whole class, they all got out of the chairs and ran over to Sheeva, looking her body over with curiosity despite Fareafu's protests to sit back down.
"Oooh, you're so fluffy!" squealed out a student rubbing her face against Sheeva's arm.
"I... that's...!" Sheeva stammered as one of the girls lifted up her tail and stroked it softly.
"I love your white hair, it's beautiful!" said another student.
Sheeva was taken back by the children's surprisingly positive reaction to her. She was worried the kids might be scared off by her, but it seemed to be just the opposite.
"Nice idea Link." Nabooru said.
"Yeah, I thought she'd enjoy this." Link said grinning at the sight of Sheeva with the kids. He figured a mother like her would get along well with all of them.
"So how did you become a wolf, and more importantly how do we do it?" asked another student.
"Yeah, I wanna look like a wolf too!" nodded one student.
After hearing those words though, Sheeva narrowed her eyes, standing up and speaking out to them.
"No... trust me when I say you never want to be like I am now." Sheeva muttered.
The kids looked at the wolf woman in confusion as Fareafu had them all return to their desks. Link frowned at Sheeva's words, it seemed she was still bothered by the curse on her.
He then had an idea and spoke to Sheeva, "Hey, why don't you tell them a little more about you being the wolfos leader, like you moving them all out to Grinder's Ridge?"
"Huh?" Sheeva spoke in confusion, "Well... I don't know why, but okay..." she cleared her throat and spoke to the class, "Back when I first was accepted into my pack, we lived in a desert cave. It was cool from the heat, but dark and deary. I used to argue with the other wolfos about the idea of seeking out a new place to live..."
Sheeva went ahead and told them about her desire to improve the lives of the wolfos by settling into a more comfortable place like the abandoned mining town. She talked about how the wolfos took to the cleaner air better. The floors of the town were wooden and carpeted, which were much more comfortable to sleep on then the rocky ground of the caves. She also told them about her desire to get stronger so she could have more authority among the pack. The children all watched and listened with great interest.
"Impressive. You took a pack of wild animals and gave them a new lease on life." Fareafu said, as she recalled it was Nabooru who did something very similar for the Gerudo, turning them from thieves and killers into the society they were now. It was one of the reasons she admired Nabooru so much, and she was feeling that admiration from Sheeva now as well.
Sheeva continued, "...and then I challenged the alpha male of our pack to a duel of honor. I lost, but he accepted me as his mate anyway. He took me into the town hall and put me down on my legs before he-"
"Okay, no need to tell them THAT part!" Link exclaimed putting his hand over her mouth.
After speaking out to the students and bidding them goodbye, Link, Nabooru and Sheeva continued on their tour through town.
"You did pretty good back there Sheeva." Link grinned, "The kids were really into what you taught them about your pack's ways."
"I was surprised, I didn't expect them to be so invested in listening to it. They were such sweet children..." Sheeva spoke with a small smile, "They seem to admire both of you so much as well."
"All I've done is simply lead my people from our old ways as thieves down the path to peace." Nabooru said, "And Link just does what he always does, he fights for those he believes in."
"I see..." Sheeva spoke.
"Oh Link, check this out." Nabooru commented, leading him and Sheeva over to a store window with high quality fabric on display, she pointed to one color in particular that was a deep aqua color.
"What about it?" Link asked curiously.
Nabooru said nothing at first, but looked at him up and down before smirking lightly, "I think that color suits you."
"You really think so?" Link asked, looking at the color himself, for some reason feeling a strange familiarity from it.
As Sheeva looked over both their shoulders at the fabric, a Gerudo mother was walking down the street holding her baby in one arm while carrying some groceries with her other hand. She stumbled a bit though, as a container fell out from the bag and onto the ground.
"Oh crud." muttered the mother, reaching down to pick it up. As she was, her baby looked over to see Sheeva's tail shifting left and right as she, Link and Nabooru were looking at the store window. The baby curiously reached her little hand out at Sheeva's tail and grabbed it just as her mother quickly stood up, causing her to yank it at a very awkward angle.
"YIPE!" Sheeva screamed out form the painful tug of her tail, she snarled and quickly turned to the attacker of her tail and shouted out angerly at them, "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF!"
After she stopped barking though Sheeva then realized she had just yelled out at the baby in the mother's arms. The baby dropped Sheeva's tail and her eyes watered up, before she burst out into tears and started crying.
"Waaaahh!"
"Ah, uh oh..." Sheeva said sweatdropping.
"Hey, what happened here?" Nabooru asked, as Link peeked curiously over her shoulder.
"Oh, that was your tail? I'm so sorry!" the mother said frantically, "I try to keep my eye on her but she just can't keep her arms to herself!"
Sheeva said nothing, but felt incredibly self-conscious at that moment, as all the Gerudo people around the area were staring out at her.
"Ugh... maybe this really isn't working after all..." Sheeva sighed out as she sat with Link and Nabooru at outdoor seats of their favorite diner to have lunch.
"I wouldn't say that, I think you're making good progress. You just had a minor back." Nabooru spoke before biting into a steak sandwich with garlic seasoned bread and melted cheese, "Just take it a little at a time, you know?" she spoke with a half full mouth.
"Yeah, I mean your wolfos are already fitting in." Link pointed out as he ate a slab of meat.
"That's only because your big friend has been playing with them all morning." Sheeva muttered, looking over to see Reirousa laughing out loud running by with the wolfos, leaving a large cloud of dust behind them. One wolfos was clinging to Reirousa's arm with it's teeth.
"Hey wolf-lady, here's your order!" Sovan called out, walking up and setting down a large plate of medium-well cooked beef cuts marinated in zesty sauce, "Sorry for the wait, it took a while to grill it all up."
"Thank you." Sheeva nodded, she leaned down and nibbled at one piece of beef, before the rich flavor hit her tongue. Her eyes lit up as she started to gobble it off the plate recklessly. Some of the beef and sauce went flying around the area as she went at it.
"Woah, hungry girl." Nabooru said with a grin.
Sovan was started to get irritated with Sheeva making such a mess, "Hey, use a fork!" she exclaimed, holding up the utensil she included with Sheeva's order.
"A fork?" Sheeva asked, lifting up on her paws, showing she had no opposable thumbs, "How?"
"Oh, never mind." Sovan said sweatdropping.
"You could try to eat it a little more neatly at least." Link said, taking a napkin to try and wipe off the sauce on her face. The wolfos squirmed a bit with a light blush on her cheeks as Link tried to clean her off. However, in her haste to make Link back off, she bumped into his plate of food and knocked it off the table, spilling his meal all over the sandy bricks.
"Ack, hey!" Link exclaimed looking down, "Watch what you're doing!"
"O-Oh, I apologize." Sheeva said, she reached down and gathered up what was on Link's plate, then exchanged her own lunch for Link's, "Here, just have mine instead."
"Oh come on, don't do that, I'm not going to eat your meal!" Link said with a piece of meat from Sheeva's plate sticking out from his mouth.
"You already are." Nabooru said sweatdropping. She looked to see Sheeva was eating the food that she had knocked over despite the sand being on it, "Doesn't that taste bad to you?"
Sheeva shook her head, "No, I'm used to eating food like this anyway. I haven't eaten something this filling since I changed back to a human. I tried to eat the fresh kills my hunters would bring back to my pack, but I keep throwing it up."
"It's probably because you're not a full wolf now." Sovan said walking back up to them with another plate of meat slabs, "Canines can eat raw food without too many problems, but humans need it cooked so they don't get sick."
"I see..." sighed Sheeva, "I've been a wolf for so long I feel I truly have forgotten what being human is like."
"Hey cheer up lady, I'm just happy you like my cooking so much!" Sovan grinned, taking away the sandy meat and putting a fresh plate before Sheeva, "Here, I got some more meat for you."
"Are you sure about this? It was my fault it got knocked over." Sheeva asked Sovan.
Sovan just took a look over to Reirousa, who was sitting down and wrestling with the wolfos, one was affectionately biting at her head and causing it to bleed a little, but the muscular Gerudo didn't even seem to notice or mind at all.
"Well ya see, back when me, Reirousa and the rest of our gang lived out in Gerudo Wastes, we didn't have much to eat other then what we could salvage or steal. I had to make the most of what I could to keep her and my sisters fed. Then outta nowhere King Link here showed up, saved me from a monster, and welcomed us all into the town. Now I'm working as the head chef of this little diner, making real meals and making my people happy doing it!"
Sovan gave Link a bowl of pudding with whipped cream as a dessert, along with a sweet kiss on the cheek, before she told Sheeva, "Life ain't about just resigning to what fate deals you, sometimes you just have to take the initiative to make your life better and happier!"
"I see... thank you for that." Sheeva said, going back to eating her meat platter, "And thank you for this meal, it was delicious."
"Yes, keep up with this sort of cooking and I could appoint you as the head chef of the palace Sovan." Nabooru said taking another bite into her steak sandwich.
"Hey, I already told you I want to serve to everyone in town, not just the king and you!" Sovan protested, as Nabooru broke out into laughter.
Shortly after Link finished his meal, he noticed the shadow being made by his fork, and looked up to see the position of the sun.
"Hmm... is it that time of day already...?" Link pondered, getting up and kicking a nearby Gossip Stone statue to tell him the time, affirming his belief, "Hey, I have to go run and do something really quick." he said to Nabooru and Sheeva as he left a generous tip on the table for Sovan.
"Okay, just meet up with us over at the palace when you're done." Nabooru nodded, "There's something I think Lady Sheeva should see there for herself."
"Huh?"
"So what did you want show me here?" Sheeva spoke as Link and Nabooru were escorting her through the palace later that day.
"Just wanted you to meet some people that I think will help you." Nabooru said, opening the doors.
They were in the medical ward of the palace, and inside was Leivuri, laying back on a bed as she was being looked after by Dr. Sarami and Saria. Saria in particular was staring at Leivuri's child Tulisi with wide sparkling eyes.
"Oh, she's so cute!" Saria said happily, "You and Link should both be proud of her!"
"Yes, you should have seen how eager he was." giggled Leivuri, before noticing the others had come in, "Oh speaking of which, hello my king!"
"Hey girls." Link said, going right over to see Tulisi, "How's our daughter doing?"
"I've given her a full examination while you were out, and she's a fine, healthy little girl!" Sarami said cheerfully, giving Link a small kiss on the cheek, "Oh, Lady Sheeva came over as well?"
"Woah, she's a big lady." Saria gulped, taking a moment to look at her chest, "Maybe a little too big..." she added with a bit of annoyance.
"Yes, it's nice to meet you again Dr. Sarami..." Sheeva asked walking up to them, taking a moment to stare down at Saria, "So this your first pup, Link?"
"Huh? Pup?" Saria asked in confusion.
"No, this is Saria, she's one of my fiances." Link said putting an arm around her.
"Your fiance..." Sheeva spoke staring at the small lady.
"Just to clarify, I'm over four hundred years old." Saria was quick to point out, being used to Link getting odd stares by some people when he introduced her.
"Oh I see..." Sheeva spoke, "Isn't King Link too young for you then?"
"Wait, now I'm the one that's too old?!" Saria exclaimed.
"This is Link's first gerudo child here, her name is Tulisi." Nabooru said gesturing to the baby.
Sheeva said nothing, but stared down at the child. She was somewhat nervous about it after the episode with the baby who grabbed her tail before. The infant seems to be reaching it's arm out at something which made Sheeva curious. She slowly and carefully reached out with her paw at the infant, and when she got close enough Tulisi grabbed a small tuft of her fur, surprising her.
"Oh!" Saria gasped out.
"Aw, it appears as if she likes you Sheeva!" giggled Sarami.
"...she has your scent King Link..." Sheeva spoke with a small smile, "I think she'll become a strong Gerudo someday, you should be proud."
"Believe me, I am." Link nodded.
After everyone left to give Leivuri and Tulisi some time alone, Sheeva was sitting at the dining room table, thinking about her situation with Link. She recalled the excited look in his eyes at the sight of his daughter, as well as the memories of the alpha male wolfos who made her his mate. She looked down at herself, seeing she still wore the tank top and shorts Nabooru bought her, though for some reason they didn't feel as uncomfortable as before...
Sheeva brought a paw to her ab-lined stomach and rubbed it. The heat within her was starting to rise, and the desire to mate and have more pups was rising.
"Hey Sheeva, enjoying yourself?"
She looked to see it was Link and Nabooru, who both sat down to the left and right of the wolfos woman. Nabooru snapped her fingers as some servants came in to provide them all with drinks.
"Thank you..." Sheeva said taking her cup. She stuck her tongue out, about to lap up the drink with it, but she paused for a second before taking a small sip with her lips.
"Sheeva, I was just wondering... could you tell me more about the life you lived as a thief?" Nabooru asked.
"Huh? What for?" Sheeva asked.
"Because I think I've figured out what's bothering you, it's not so much you trying to remember being human again, it's something that makes you afraid to become human again." Nabooru stated.
Sheeva's eyes widened in shock, as she clenched her drink, "...I suppose I should have known... you're quite a sharp woman Lady Nabooru..."
"Come on Sheeva, why not tell us what happened." Link spoke, "Let us understand you, so you can understand us."
"...very well..." Sheeva spoke, "As a human, I grew up as a thief most of my life. I didn't have parents so I had to learn to fend for myself, and I never relied on anyone. It was hard to be a thief at first, as I constantly felt guilty for those I stole from, so I had to learn to switch off feeling empathy for others."
"That was something we Gerudo used to do back in our early teachings, so I can understand that feeling." Nabooru nodded, "Go on."
"One day came when I went to an ancient temple to seek out a golden relic that I could sell for a grand fortune. It would had been more than enough that I could retire from life as a thief and live peacefully. When I arrived there though I was met by another thief, a man who was seeking the same relic. We fought over it for a while, but our methods of breaking into the temple caused some traps to nearly kill us, so we worked together to escape with it."
Sheeva took a sip of her drink, "We got along pretty well after that. He was a good-looking man, and showed me a lot of kindness during our time together, I admit I eventually came to fall in love with him. I suggested the idea of selling the relic on the black market and split the money down the middle, but he thought perhaps we could live together, perhaps even get married..."
"...don't tell me, agreeing to that ended up being a massive mistake?" Nabooru spoke.
"Yes..." Sheeva said hanging her head down, "Just as we had made all the preparations to sell the relic, one night when we were alone at an inn..." Sheeva spoke, "He suddenly kissed me with such incredible passion. At that time I knew it was true love, and I wanted to indeed sped my whole life with him. Just as we were both about to make love together, he got himself into position over me... "
Link and Nabooru saw Sheeva's eyes started to tear up as she spoke.
"...and then stabbed me in the chest with a dagger."
Link's eyes widened at this, as he could feel a slight tinge of anger go through him, but he held back and squeezed Sheeva's hand, "So that's why you were scared earlier. It brought back those memories."
"When I came to I was in a doctor's office, apparently the innkeepers had found me and brought me for recovery. I would later learn that man had left long ago with the relic. He played with my heart to get what he wanted..." Sheeva said as tears went down her face.
"Despicable." Nabooru muttered, squeezing and crushing her cup into pieces with her hand, "Merely fooling someone is one thing, but betraying one's heart is the absolute worst..."
"After that I felt I couldn't trust anyone anymore. I was so desperate for money after that I attempted to steal another relic from the Gerudo Shrine of Uvooru, and you know what happened from that." Sheeva said, running her paw over her other furry arm.
"It's understandable that you felt that way, but the wolfos were much different weren't they?" Nabooru said.
"Yes... my mate treated me with nothing but respect, and I loved him so much." Sheeva said with a sad smile, "Losing him to that Hinox devastated me, and I thought I could never love again..."
Link stared at Sheeva for a brief moment before nodding to himself, "Lady Sheeva, I have a proposition for you."
"Hm?" Sheeva glanced at Link curiously.
At the training grounds of Gerudo Town, many Gerudo women had gathered to anxiously witness what was about to unfold. Among the crowd included Nabooru of course, along with Aviel and her parents, Nemisa, Togau, Reirousa, and Sheeva's three wolfos companions.
Standing in the arena was Link and Sheeva, though Link wasn't armed with a wooden sword and shield like he usually had when training. There was a Gerudo woman standing in the center of the arena holding a red flag and a green flag acting as a referee.
"I wonder why Link decided to challenge the wolfos leader to battle?" asked a Gerudo woman.
"I don't know, but I'm excited! It's been a while since I've seen King Link duel someone!" spoke another woman with a giggle.
Meanwhile Nabooru herself was sitting back on the benches, carefully watching Link and Sheeva stand off against each other.
"This will be a one-on-one spar with no weapons or magic." the referee said, "First one to incapacitate the other wins!"
"Very well." Sheeva spoke, stretching herself out, "Are you sure about battling without your tools?"
"Positive." Link nodded.
Link then took his vest and removed it, showing off his muscular chest. This got a number of the girls in the audience squealing and cheering out. Even Sheeva herself blushed a little from the sight, but shook it off.
"Bout time, let's see if that training I've been puttin' him though'll pay off!" Reirousa grinned as she was holding one of the wolfos under arm, who was playfully squirming around.
Nemisa was laying back against the bench, fanning herself off from seeing Link pull off his vest like that in public. Somehow the fact that he showed off his physique in public like that without hesitation was a massive turn on for her.
"Someone got any water to douse Nemisa here?" Togau called out.
Link and Sheeva meanwhile went into fighting stances as the blushing referee held down her flags.
"A-And begin!" she said raising both flags up.
With that, Link and Sheeva both ran at each other. Link swung out a punch but Sheeva countered with a claw swipe. Link quickly ducked and rolled out of the way of the swipe, before sprinting forward and charging into her with a shoulder tackle. Sheeva forced him off of her and performed a series of sweeping kicks, forcing Link to take steps back to avoid them. He backflipped away from the last kick and swung his fist, punching her across the face,
"Hmph, not bad." Sheeva spoke, but she smirked and swung her claw, bashing Link away, "But not good enough."
"Just getting started." Link grinned charging back at Sheeva. The Gerudo watching were all squealing and cheering out at their king battling against the wolfos leader.
"So why do you think Link isn't using his sword and shield? He doesn't really fight with punches and kicks much." Aviel asked as she watched.
"I've been training him in hand-to-hand combat on the side just in case he ever needed to." Nemisa said, wiping the blood from her nostril, "He's much more graceful with a sword, but he's adapting quickly to martial arts. I just wonder how he'll do against someone like Sheeva."
"He can win, I know he will!" Aviel said with a big grin.
Sheeva leaped high into the air and came down at Link with both her legs, kicking him right in the stomach, he tried to grab at her legs but she bounded off of him and landed to the ground.
'Okay, she's pretty strong still... I'll have to use a little strategy.' Link thought.
He ran right at Sheeva, who prepared to swipe her claw at him, but Link quickly got down and slid across the ground between Sheeva's legs. She tried to swung her foot from behind but Link quickly jumped up and punched her in the side, before rushing forward and tackling her over. She kicked him off of her and started swinging her claws and legs at him.
Link went into a defensive stance, blocking off each swipe and trying not to get scratched by her claws. When he had an opening he lunged forward and shoulder charged into her stomach, sending her back before he came at her with some punches of his own, and then kicking her to the ground.
"Hmph, time I end this!" she growled.
Sheeva recovered and did a sweeping kick to back him off, then leaped into the air with her claws out. Link carefully watched as she came down at him, before he reached out at her, avoiding the claws swiping at him, and he managed to grab at Sheeva's wrists, surprising her. He then took that chance to lean back, swing up his leg and bash her in the stomach again, the impact sent Sheeva hurling over him and impacting to the ground.
"Impressive!" Nemisa said with astonishment, "I never actually taught him that one!"
"You've used that trick a few times before fighting bandits and rebels, I think he just learned from that!" Aviel grinned.
Link ran at her for another attack, but Sheeva backflipped from the ground and landing down gracefully, shooting forward at him. Link swung his fist down at her but she quickly darted to the side and stuck him across the back. He turned and tried a kick but she leaped up and bashed him across the face instead, before slamming him to the ground.
"Impressive, despite her new form she's still rather strong." Nabooru said grinning, recalling her battle with Sheeva back at Grinder Ridge, "And her techniques are still on point."
Link recovered as he turned to see Sheeva charging right at him, shifting left and right as she did an effort to feint attack him. Rather then focusing on her claw, he watched Sheeva's leg movement, and how she darted around with each step. Just as she got close enough to swipe, Link immediately did a side step to avoid it, then brought back his fist and punched Sheeva across the face, sending her flying to the side and tumbling over onto her rear.
"He's got this!" Togau exclaimed with enthusiasm, grabbing and shaking a nearby Gerudo in excitement.
"Let go of me!" the woman shouted with dizzy eyes.
"Grk... damnit..." Sheeva groaned. She shook off the impact from the punch, and slowly looked up as she saw Link leap into the air drawing his fist back and punching her again, sending her rolling across the ground. She was about to get up when she saw Link come at her with another punch.
In that brief moment, she recalled a moment from her past... back when she had challenged the alpha male of her pack to a duel of honor. She had been driven back by the alpha male's amazing strength, and she looked up to see him just as he dealt the final blow...
To Sheeva, it felt like her thoughts about him from before were right; Link was giving off the same aura that the alpha male did back then... she simply closed her eyes and smiled ever-so-softly to admit defeat, just as Link brought down his fist...
But she felt no impact, and opened her eyes to see Link's fist had stopped right in front of her.
"That was a good fight Sheeva!" Link said cheerfully, sporting a big goofy grin on his face as his hand was now an open palm, holding it out to the wolfos woman to help her up.
Sheeva recalled how the alpha male had done something very similar, rather then deal a finishing blow, he instead stopped his attack and offered to help her back onto her feet. She felt her face flush as Link took her arm and got her up.
"T-Thank you..."
"This battle is over!" shouted the referee holding up the green flag, "This match goes to our beloved King Link!"
The Gerudo girls all cheered out wildly for their king, as Nabooru sported a knowing smirk.
"Nice going there Link." she spoke softly to herself.
"King Link, tell me something," spoke Sheeva, "Did you have this duel with me because...?"
"Yeah," Link nodded, "I remembered what you said before about not being sure about living with wolfos after you first transformed into one. I thought maybe if I dueled you like when you battled the wolfos alpha male, that you'd become more comfortable with us."
Sheeva was astonished at the way Link read her. It was almost as If he truly did carry the will of her previous mate.
"And plus..." Link scratched the side of his cheek, "I thought maybe you'd be more comfortable having me as your mate if I showed you my own strength."
The Gerudo in the crowd gasped out at this news, as Sheeva's eyes lit up in surprise.
"You... truly wish to still make me your mate?" Sheeva asked.
"Yeah, in fact as a symbol of that and our unity with the wolfos." Link said, as he motioned for Aviel to hand him a box and he passed it off to Sheeva, "This is for you."
Sheeva looked curiously at the small black box she was given and opened it, seeing inside was a beautiful black neck collar with small jewels lining along it.
"Huh? A collar?" a Gerudo spoke, "Why would the king give her something like th-?"
"Link... this is..." Sheeva's hands were trembling as she looked up at Link with small tears in her eyes, as her tail started to wag vigorously, "You wish to keep me...?"
"Yeah, I think rather then you trying to decide whether to be a part of human or wolfos society, you should just be a part of both. Whether you consider yourself half-human or half-wolfos, they're both parts of you that you should love, as they make you who you are." Link grinned.
"T-Thank you..." Sheeva spoke, before she embraced Link.
The crowd all cheered out wildly at Link courting the wolfos leader as his mate. Nabooru had her arms folded and smiling proudly at Link's effort to untie the two tribes, and help Sheeva truly open up about herself.
"Jees, the king's sure a lucky bastard, ain't he?" Aviel's father Kozun said, looking at the big-chested wolf woman holding him, and took a look around at the Gerudo who started to run over and hug him as well in congratulations, "Just about any man would be lucky to court so many of these lovely ladies!"
"Even you... darling?" her mother Amala asked with a cold and jealous stare, putting her hand on her husband's shoulder and squeezing it a little too tightly for his own good.
"Gack! You're breaking my shoulder! You're breaking it!" Kozun shouted out.
"Only just breaking it? Maybe I should squeeze harder..." Amala said crossly.
"GAAAHH!"
"Momma, don't break Papa's shoulder again!" Aviel exclaimed.
After Nabooru and the others stopped Amala from crippling her husband, the whole town held a grand celebration over the unity of the Gerudo and the Desert Wolfos tribes. And Sheeva found herself getting along with the people even more then she ever could have thought.
Later that night Link came into his bedroom, he had just finished washing up for the big night before him.
"Hello Link." spoke a strong feminine voice.
Sheeva was laying on her side with one arm propping her head up. She was sporting a light smile as she laid there in the nude, aside from the black jeweled collar worn around her neck as a symbol of her place as Link's mate. Her gorgeous white hair seemed to almost illuminate from the light of the moon coming in from the balcony.
"Ready for this now Sheeva?" Link asked removing his vest and pants, giving her a good view of his strong, lean figure.
"More then ready." Sheeva said licking her lips, as she brought her paw up to feel at the jeweled collar she wore, "I'm yours now Link, my heat is rising, and I'm anxious to have many pups with you as strong and sweet as little Tulisi."
"Just how many pups have you had with that alpha male from before?" Link asked.
"We had around one litter a year, and each litter consisted of about four to six..." Sheeva pondered, "Many of my pups went off to join other packs too, so honestly I lost count of how many I had."
Link whistled, "Wow, that's impressive. Think it'll be any different now for you that you're half-human?"
"Well why don't you take me and we'll find out together then?" Sheeva said with a smile.
"Sounds good." Link nodded.
The young king walked forward and leaned down, kissing Sheeva on the lips with much more passion than that morning, placing his hands on her shoulders. Sheeva moaned into the kiss as he was about to lightly push her down onto the pillows, but hesitated for a moment recalling how she reacted before.
"No..." Sheeva whispered, "Keep going..."
Link went ahead and laid Sheeva back down on the bed, and she gazed up at him. Before she would had been terrified at the sight due to her past trauma, but now she only saw a man who treated her with the same kindness and respect as the alpha male before him. He leaned down and kissed her again, as the two of them ran their hands around each other's bodies...
And the Gerudo King and the wolfos leader shared a wonderful night together...
Meanwhile, far off in Hyrule Castle, a loan figure walked through a dark hall, some light clanging noise echoed through the otherwise empty hall from the armor and weapons they had on them. The figure soon arrived at a one particular door and entered.
It was a sort of training room with numerous weapons lining the walls and training dummies made from stone and steel rather then wood. A large man donning bronze armor and wearing a plumed galea helmet was in the room, striking at one of the training dummies with a large spear. He swung it with such a powerful swipe that it managed to destroy the stone dummy and crumble it to pieces.
"Hmph, such a weak rock." spoke the man.
This was Captain Andreas of Hylian Military Services, a member of the Hylian Parliament and easily the strongest and most skilled knight of the Hyrule royal guard. He brought his spear back and slammed it to the ground, making the stone pebbles bounce a bit from the small vibration.
"Greetings Captain, you called?" spoke out the figure with a salute.
"Yes, about time you arrived." Andreas spoke.
"I apologize sir, I... had to make sure no one saw me." they said.
"Hm, yes... I'm glad you arrived alone, for what I am about to say may not be spoken to by anyone else..." Andreas said, "Not to your soldiers, not to the other members of the parliament, and certainly not to the milk maids."
"Of course Captain, what are your orders?"
"The time is coming for the Gerudo people to come here to Hyrule Castle, among them being the new Gerudo King. While the other members of the Parliament may have softened to the idea of allowing them to come, I will not allow it as they are a threat to all of us. Therefore, I need to call on you to take action against him, for the safety and security of Hyrule and it's people."
"I understand Captain." spoke the figure without hesitation, "I shall set out for Gerudo Town immediately."
"...you do understand what will likely happen even if you succeed in this mission, right?" Andreas asked.
"Of course, but I have no regrets. I will gladly give my life to see this through..."
The figure stood as a young woman in light knight's armor, with short, straight black hair. Her complexion was pale and had small markings painted on her face. She had two swords attached to the left and right of her hips. She narrowed her eyes as she gripped the hilt of the right sword.
"... and I shall take the life of the Gerudo King Link."
And that ends the story, the Gerudo and Wolfos are now united, and Link's harem is growing, but who is this new foe that's coming to confront him...?
Next week, I'm starting to do some requests I've been given for new chapters. If you have something you'd like to see me do, drop me a line via review or private message!
Also, I'd like to give a minor notice: If you can't leave a review for the next few chapters, it's because you my have already left a review for the chapter number back before I edited Aviel's arc down, and for some reason me deleting the chapters didn't get rid of the reviews. If you want to leave reviews for the new chapters you'll have to delete your own review, as I don't have that power.
Otherwise, leave a like, follow or review at your leisure, your feedback is always encouraging.
