Chapter 6: The Dark Gods.
Midna could not believe what she was seeing. Link was back in the Twilight Realm, he had saved her when she thought all hope was lost, and he said he loved her. Near the end of their adventure, she suspected he might care about her as more than a friend, but she was too afraid to ask. Stunned beyond measure Midna somehow finds the strength to speak.
"Link, is that really you?"
Turning his head, Link's sapphire blue eyes meet Midna's blood red ones.
"Hey, Midna." He said with a shy smile. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Nodding her head in shock Midna said. "How are you here? I shattered the mirror."
Turning his head back around, Link glares at Bellum as he gets back on his feet. "I don't know exactly how, but I was led to something that let me reopen the portal." Marching forward to face Bellum one on one, Link said over his shoulder. "Rest, we can talk more after this thing is dead."
"'Led to something that reopened the portal?' But that's imposable? There should be nothing that can reopen the portal." Said Midna. She then notices for the first time that Link is carrying two swords instead of one. When she gets a good look at the black hilt, Midna is shocked to her core (again). 'How does Link have that! That weapon is not supposed to exist!"
But there is no denying it. Strapped to his back is the sword of one of the guardian deities of the Twilight Realm.
Stopping a few feet from the guy in the armor Link said. "Before we get started, what is your name?"
"Why would you want to know that, hero?" Said the guy.
"So I know what to put on your headstone." Said Link.
"Confident, aren't we? The name is Bellum. And know this hero, you might have caught me off guard before. But I have seen all your little tricks before. They won't work on me again!" Bellum said raising his sword that now has an inch gash in the metal and swings it down at Link. Bringing the Master Sword up he blocks the blow. Parrying the strike Link smashes his shield into Bellum's chest and pushes him back a few steps. Jumping up and over him, Link brings his blade down on his head, aiming to split open his skull with a helm Splitter. Bringing his blade up, Bellum deflects the blow. Landing behind him, both of them spin around and lock swords.
"I told you, that those fancy skills of yours won't work!" Bellum yelled.
Link said nothing, only kicking Bellum hard in the side and throwing him back to the ground. Backing up a few steps Link tries to come up with a plan. "Fi, do you know anything about this thing?"
"I am sorry Master, but I do not. This creature is unlike anything I have seen before." Said Fi.
"Well, that's because it's from another reality." Said a third voice inside Link's head.
"What, who's there?" Link said felling a new presence settle into the back of his head.
"Aww, don't tell me you forgot me already Link? Its Eclipse." Said the now identified Eclipse.
"Why are in my head?" Link asked.
"Talking to yourself now, hero?" Said Bellum getting back to his feet.
"A fight is not the best place for an explanation, just know we are now roommates." Said Eclipse.
"Ok fine. Going back to Bellum, what do I do?" Link asked.
"Don't ignore me! And don't talk as if I'm not here!" Bellum yelled indignant.
"Take the new sword for a test run. But be warned, its power might run wild in the Twilight Realm since you are not used to it. You should temper it with the light of The Master Sword." Said Eclipse.
"Ok, how do I do that?" Link said not taking his eyes off Bellum.
"How are you at dual wielding?" Eclipse asked.
Link thought about that for a moment before saying in a determined voice. "Guess we'll find out."
Putting the Hylian Shield on his back, the crescent moon mark on his hand glows a bright purple as Link unsheathes the Twilight Sword. Holding both swords in his hands, Link can feel the two powers of light and dark rush through him, and oddly enough flow together in his body instead of repelling each other. Unknown to him, his blue eyes turn a glowing purple while his pupils slitted like a wolfs.
Seeing the black blade that killed him once before, Bellum laughs. "If you are thinking of using that spell on me again hero, don't waste your time." An orange horned skull mark appeared on his chest. "This body is not like the one I had before. Its complete, and houses the power of the god of darkness, Malladus. A too bit spell from a half-baked vessel won't cut it this time."
"Oh, the squid thinks it's tough huh? Link, do and repeat what I tell you." Link doesn't why, but he can just feel Eclipse smirk.
Pulling the Twilight Sword over his right shoulder Link swings it forward and says. "Crepusculum flamma perosus!" A crescent wave a black and purple fire shoots out and speeds towards Bellum. Jumping out of the way, the blast heads toward three Phantoms behind Bellum and slices straight through, cutting them in half and burning them to ash. Rushing up to Bellum Link swings the Master Sword down. Only for Bellum to roll to the left out of the way. Swinging the Twilight Sword Link sends out another blast of black flames. Catching Bellum's side and cutting deep into the armor.
Back with Midna she is currently doing an impression of a fish while watching the fight.
Limping over to her, Mia puts Midna's right arm over her shoulders and helps her to her feet. Watching the two trade strikes back and forth, they can see both of Link's swords cut into Bellum's Phantom armor, while Bellum can barely land a hit on the green clad hero. Seeing Link jump over Bellum and slice off a horn, then strike at the back when he lands, Mia opens her mouth. "You know, your boyfriends kind of a badass."
Sighing, Midna doesn't even bother trying to tell her that they aren't technically a couple yet. Midna has so many questions for Link. the most prominent being where did he find that sword, and how is he using twilight magic.
Dodging a strike, Link brings the Twilight sword down onto Bellum's sword, and cuts it in two at the base of the blade. Swiping the Master Sword across Bellum's chest Link leaves a large bloody gash on it. Bringing the Master Sword, up he slams it down into Bellum's shoulder, cutting deep and forcing him to his knees. With the Master Sword still embedded in Bellum's shoulder Link pulls the Twilight Sword back preparing to stab him in the head.
With eyes widening in alarm both Midna and Mia yell out to try and stop him. "LINK WAIT HE IS POSSESSING MAX!"
Hearing the screams from the two, Link lowers the Twilight sword. "Heheheheh, that's right hero, all this time you have been hacking away at an innocent Twili, and spilling his blood. Well go on strike then and me down. But know that his life will be forfeit." Said Bellum. Link pulls the Master Sword out of his shoulder, gaining a cry of pain from Bellum, and backs up a few feet. Falling onto his hands Bellum gasps for air with an intense pain all over his body from the two blades.
As he stares at Bellum Link tries to think of a way to free this 'Max' without killing him.
"Yeah, I would prefer you not kill any Twili." Said Eclipse.
"Why do you care?" Asked Link.
"I just do. Now, we have an interesting situation on our hands. It looks like the possession is mostly physical, that's good."
"Why?"
"It means you can break it."
"How?"
"By setting them on fire."
"WHAT?!"
"It's not as bad as it sounds."
"It sounds terrible! I thought you didn't want me to kill any Twili?!"
"I don't."
"Then tell me how setting him on FIRE is NOT going to kill him!"
"Simple, you concentrate."
"Ok, I feel like I'm missing something here."
"You're actually missing a lot, but for now let's focus on the whole fire thing. The fire you just shot out of the sword is called the Flames of Twilight. A special power of these flames is to burn anything that the user wants to ash. But the less physical the thing is, the harder it is to burn.
"So, to free Max all I have to do is concentrate and set him on fire?"
"There is a little more to then that, but you got the right idea."
"How do I know I can trust you on this? And that it will work?"
"That's just the thing, you don't. It will have to be a leap of faith for you. Faith that I can be trusted and faith that it will work. So hero, with an innocent life on the line, what will you choose?"
Mia has seen a lot of shit in her twenty two years of life. Being the only child of one the Twilight Realms nobles meant she was well educated in magic and the history of the Twili. But even she is having a hard time understanding what she is seeing. A light dweller has the Twilight Sword. The weapon of one of the three gods of the Twilight Realm, that's not supposed to exist. He can also use the Flames of Twilight, something not even the royal family can do. And he's the chosen hero of the golden goddesses.
While Mia holds Midna's arm over her shoulder, they see Link pull the Master Sword out of Bellum's shoulder and back up a few steps. Seeing that he is not going to stab Max in the head Mia breaths a sigh of relief. Now they just have to find a way to free Max from Bellum's hold.
After a few moments of thinking, Link looks back at them and gives a slow nod to Midna. Turning back around Link sheathes the Master Sword, and putting both hands on the Twilight sword he raises it above his head and the gemstone glows brighter, as violet lightning flashes across the sky. and the glowing resting place of the Sol's shines brighter.
Tensing, Mia starts to worry. "Midna, what is he doing!?"
Not taking her eyes off him Midna says. "Something risky. That was his 'I'm going to try something' nod."
Black and purple flames start to dance wildly on the sword.
"Shouldn't we be stopping him!" Mia said, heart pounding in her chest.
Shaking her head Midna says. "Mia, I won't ask you to trust him since you don't know Link like I do. But would you trust me when I say that Link will try everything he can to save Max."
Looking back and forth between Midna and Link, Mia doesn't know what to do. On one hand she knows next to nothing about this Link guy, only that he's the one who helped Midna save the Twili from Zant, and he's the hero of the Light Realm. On the other hand, she has known Midna since they were kids and trusts her with her life. Looking at the unwavering faith in Midna's eyes, Mia makes her decision.
"I will trust that you trust him, Midna."
Nodding once Midna's eyes stay locked on Link "Ok. Let's hope Link's plan works."
Before more can be said, Link swings the sword down.
Bellum can't believe that everything went so wrong so fast. Not only did the twilight princess awaken the Triforce of Power and decimate his army. But the new hero somehow not only found the Twilight Sword, but can use it freely. The sword taxed the last hero too much to make use of it. But this one? It looks like he isn't even winded. And on top of that; both swords are easily slicing through his armor, this Master Sword he's wielding burns much worst then The Phantom Sword the hero had when Bellum faced the Hero of Phantom Winds.
'I need to escape and plan my next move!' He thinks as Link sheathes the Master Sword. 'That's a good hero, you won't kill an innocent just to get rid of me, you didn't have it in you to kill that Linebeck last time. And I felt the grief in you when you cut off the head of my puppet two hundred years ago. So let me go, like the naive fool you are.'
Link raises the Twilight Sword above his head and the Flames of Twilight cover the blade.
"You wouldn't dare!" Bellum yells in fear. "You would sacrifice an Innocent life?!"
"No, just yours."
'I got to summing my Phantoms!' He thinks in a panic. But they don't come, they still are fighting the knights. 'Why aren't they responding?!'
'Because with you as weak as you are now, I can block you from calling them.' Said a voice inside Bellum's head.
'Who dares?!' Bellum said in rage.
'It's the owner of the body you stole, Max!' Hissed out the voice. 'You shouldn't have underestimated might of the Twili, we are masters of the art of sorcery!'
'Well why the hell are you stopping me! If he hits us with that, we will BOTH die!'
'After everything you did to Mia and princess Midna. If to make sure you burn for it, I have to give up my life? Then so be it!'
'You fool!'
'Do it now hero! End this monster! No matter the price!'
"Crepusculum purgans flamma!" Link yells as he swings the blade down, and the Flames of Twilight hit them full force.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bellum screams in agony as the black and purple fire burns all of him to ashes.
'AAAAHHH!' yelled Max as the flames burn his body as well.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN THIS TIME! HOW DID I LOSE TO THE BOY IN GREEN AGAIN?" Bellum yelled to the sky.
'MAY YOU BURN IN HELL BELLUM!' Max exclaimed in pain.
"DAMN YOU ALL! WHEN I RETURN, I WILL MAKE YOU ALL SUFFER!" Bellum yells as the armor cracks and shatters into sand, revealing Max's body underneath.
As the flames die out Max's body falls forward, Link quickly drops the Twilight Sword, catches him and slowly lowers him to the ground.
Putting a finger to his neck Link checks for a pulse, and thankfully finds one. Looking over his body he sees that Max has many large wounds that will be fatal if something isn't done quick. Reaching into his back pouch he pulls out a bottle with a blue liquid in it. As he uncorks the bottle and feeds Max the potion Link can hear footsteps come up behind him.
"What was that you just gave him?" Asked an unfamiliar female voice that he guesses belongs to the maid that was with Midna.
Turning his head around Link reply's "Blue potion. It will help keep him stable and stop the bleeding for now, but he needs a doctor. Unfortunately, I don't have any great fairy tears with me. I didn't have time to prepare before I got here."
"So, he's alive?" Asked the maid hopeful.
"Yes." Link answered.
"Oh, thank the gods." She says as she visibly relaxes.
With Bellum gone the Phantoms went with him and the fighting came to an end.
Rushing into the courtyard medical staff began to tend the wounded. And there are a lot of them. Looking back and forth between Max and Midna who the maid is still holding, she seems to ask a silent question as they take him back into Palace.
Standing up straight Midna says. "I'll be fine now Mia. Go, be with Max." Nodding her head Mia runs off to catch up with them.
Alone with Link now Midna has no idea what to say to him. Should she apologize for destroying the mirror? Ask where he found the sword? Or tell him how much she has missed him these past four months and that she loves him too? Turning to face Link, Midna decides not to over think it and just let the words come to her.
"Link I.." Before she can even begin to say anything, Midna finds herself pulled against his chest and wrapped tight in Link's arms, and can feel him shaking.
"I..I thought I was never going to see you again." He said, voice thick with emotion and laying his head on her shoulder.
Putting her arms around him in a tight hold of her own, Midna can feel a few tears at the corners of her eyes. Holding the one she loves after so long, Midna can only say one thing.
"I missed you."
After a few minutes the cloud's part and the eternal light of dusk fills the world once again. The two then pull apart to get a good look at each other. Midna sees that aside from a cut on his cheek, he only has a few scratches and that his eyes are still that glowing purple.
Link sees that Midna looks like she has been through hell. She has dirt caked all over her body, her hoods down and her hair is a disheveled mess, there are a few dozen scratches all over her body, and it looks like she has a few bruises around her neck.
Gently laying his right hand on the side of her neck, Link gives Midna a concerned look and asks. "Are you ok? What happened?"
"Hmm? Oh, don't worry about it. One of those Phantoms just tried to choke me until I lost consciousness so that they could kidnap me. No big deal." Midna said waving her hand in the air.
Sighing Link drops his hand from her neck. "Midna, that is a big deal. Don't be so flippant about it."
"Well, I think we have more important things to worry about." She said. Looking down she sees the sword and bends down to pick it up.
"Such as?" Link asks. Seeing what she is doing and remembering what happened to the last person that tried to take the sword he tries to stop her. "Wait Midna, don't touch the sword!"
"Calm down Link, it's alright. The Twilight Sword won't hurt me as long as I don't try and take it from you. And one of the important things is why are your eyes purple and glowing."
"Thier what now?" Link said completely distracted form asking how she knows about the sword.
Grabbing onto the handle Midna can feel its dark power flowing through the sword. For some reason it there is a nostalgic feeling coming from it. Standing up right she shows Link his reflection in the blade.
Getting a look at the sword, Link sees that indeed his eyes are purple and glowing. "Well, that's new. It's probably not something to worry too much about." He said shrugging.
"Now who's being flippant." Midna said with an impish smirk handing the sword back to Link.
"You got a point." Link said looking around to avoid eye contact. Seeing the damage to the courtyard he turns his head back around to face Midna.
"Midna, why where you guys attacked? What did Bellum want?"
"He said that he was after me and the...shit!" Midna said snapping her fingers and warping away. Ten seconds later she warps back, with a glowing red gemstone in her right hand that Link has only seen in books.
Vary confused now Link asks. "Midna, why do you have the Goron Ruby?"
"So, it is called that. The Royal family has had this for about two hundred years. There is no record of why we have it, what it was called, or what it was for. Every new king or queen is just told that we need to keep it safe." Looking at the destruction around them Midna shakes her head "I guess now we know from who."
"Ok, but why was Bellum after you as well?" Fallowing her gaze.
Holding up her hand so Link can see the glowing mark on the back Midna says. "Because I have this."
Getting a look at the mark on the back on her hand, Link's eyes almost pop out of his head. "Holy shit Midna! You have the Triforce of Power!?"
"I know, it's kind of a shock to me too." She said chuckling.
"Well, that explains where it went and why he wanted you. But if you have that piece of the Triforce, why did he want the ruby as well?" Link said crossing his arms "That things only one of the three keys to open the way to the sacred realm. But the three pieces of the Triforce aren't there. They are with me, you, and Zelda."
"You got me. Gods only know at this point." Midna said, also crossing her arms.
"Tell me Link, what happens when you change the shape of a key?" Eclipse spoke.
"...It fits a different lock?" Link said confused.
"Link?" Said Midna confused.
"And what if I told you, that different lock, was on something far worse than hell itself."
"Oh gods." Link said with a cold feeling going down his spine.
"Link, who are you talking to?" Midna said in concern.
Giving his head a shake and coming back to reality Link says. "Sorry Midna, I was just talking to this guy inside my head."
"What?" Midna said very confused and a little worried for Link's mental state.
"Well, when I pulled out this sword." Link said gesturing the blade in his hand. "There has been a guy inside my head that calls himself Eclipse. He's th-!"
"Wait! Did you just say Eclipse?!" Midna yelled cutting Link off.
Startled by her outburst Link said. "Yes?"
Shocked beyond belief Midna said. "So not only do you have the Twilight Sword, but Eclipse is talking to you inside your head?!"
Even more confused now Link asks. "Midna, how do you know about this sword? And who is Eclipse?"
Shaking her head in disbelief Midna reply's "Link, Eclipse is one of our G-!"
"LINK, GET DOWN!" Yelled Eclipse.
Moving before he can think Link tackles Midna to the ground, knocking the ruby out of her hand.
BOOM!
And not even one second later an orange lightning bolt strikes where they were standing. Leaving a large creator.
Getting to a kneeling position Link holds the Twilight Sword up as he looks around for the enemy as the remaining knights pulled out their weapons.
"That moron. We told him to wait until he had an army of two hundred before he attacked." Said a male voice above them.
Looking up they see a big black orb with four bat like wings coming out of it, a single big red eye is in the middle of it. And on both sides, several smaller black orbs with two bat like wings on both ends make up the arms.
Floating down to the ruby it reaches out with one of his hands and picks it up. "Still, at least I can fix one of that fools mistakes." He said making the ruby disappear into his arm.
Standing to his full height Link calls out as black and purple flames cover the sword once again. "Give the Goron ruby back!"
Giving the hero and princess a bored look, he says. "Unfortunately for you that's not going to happen. It is needed to bring about Malladus's return to this world."
Shocked Midna says. "Wait, Malladus return!?"
Quickly glancing back to Midna, Link points the sword at the black orb and demands. "Who are you?"
Giving the hero and princess a once over he says. "I might not be able to fix all of Bellum's mistakes, but at least I got the ruby. We will just have to wait a bit for the princess, and the sword."
"Over my dead body!" Yelled Link
"In time hero, in time." The orb said.
Swinging the sword down Link shoots out another wave of black flames. Only for the orb to disappear in a flash a orange light before it hits him and reappear about one hundred feet in the air.
"Hear me people of the twilight!" The orbs voice booms across the courtyard. "I am the sorcerer Vaati! General of Malladus, the god of darkness's army! If you don't want to be part of the many lives that will be lost when he returns to the world! Pledge your loyalty to him and capture the princess and hero and present them to me!"
Wanting to shut this Vaati up Link takes a step forward. Only to feel suddenly drained of all energy and falls to one knee.
"Link are you ok!?" Said Midna going over to him.
Panting as his eyes turn back to normal Link says. "I'm fine Midna. I just suddenly felt drained all of my energy for some reason."
"You aren't used to the sword yet Link, you have reached your limit. We will have to work to remedy this. It will cause problems if we let it lay." Said Eclipse.
Hearing the sounds of metal moving Link looks up to see the knights have formed a wall between them and Vaati with their weapons pointed at the sorcerer.
"Like hell we would ever betray the princess!" Shouted one of them.
"You can take your offer and shove it up whatever you call an ass!" Yelled another.
"Go to hell you bastard!" Said a third throwing up a middle finger.
"Disappointing." Said Vaati. "But expected. So be it, salvation will not come for all of you. Go ahead and die with your princess then." And with that he vanished in a flash of orange light.
Standing up Link looks around to make sure they won't be attacked again. Seeing that the danger has passed for now he sheaths the Twilight sword and faces Midna. Only to see she is surrounded by the knights who now have terrified looks on their faces.
"Princess what are we going to do!?" Said a woman.
"Did he really say Malladus is going to kill us all!?" Said a man.
"Is this the end of the Twili!?" Said another man.
"Have we been forsaken again!?" Said a woman.
Trying to calm down her people Midna said. "Everyone calm yourselves! I don't know what this means, but I promise you that this is not the end of the Twili!"
Seeing that this is the best time to get some answers, Link steps Infront of the crowed and said. "Midna, what's going on? Who is Malladus and who is Eclipse?" With that one question everyone goes silent and just stares at him.
Looking apprehensive Midna asks him. "Link, do you remember what I said back when you put the two Sol's back where they belong?"
Nodding his head Link said. "Yeah, you said that the light that entered the Master Sword was proof that the guardian-" His eyes begin to widen as the puzzle pieces fall into place, and heavy felling falls upon his heart. "-Deities...of the Twilight Realm... were on our side. And wanted Zant removed."
Walking slowly to him Midna continues. "What I didn't tell you, is that we have three gods, like you do in the Light Realm. There is Malladus, the god of darkness. Nirvana, the goddess of sol." Coming to a stop Infront of him she grabs Link's left hand holds it up so he can see the still glowing purple crescent moon mark on the back. With a look in her eyes that Link can't decipher she finishes.
"And Eclipse, the god of twilight."
Zelda was sitting at the desk in her study, looking over Robin's journal as the orange light of dusk spills in from the windows. She has had her nose buried in the book looking for something that can help ever since Link rushed out of here an hour ago.
Pacing the floor deep in thought, Impa asks the question that has been bothering her. "Princess Zelda, was it truly wise to let Link go off in search of this sword?"
Lifting her head from the book Zelda said. "I don't know."
Impa stops pacing and faces Zelda fully. "If you were unsure, then why let him go?"
Closing the book and folding her hands on top of it the Princess said. "Impa, how much do you know about the enchantment on the Master Sword?"
Wondering where this is going Impa said. "Well, I know that the Master Sword has the power to repeal evil, granted to it by the three sacred flames of the goddesses, and was blessed by the mortal incarnation of the goddess Hylia after she was fully awakened, so that none but the chosen hero may wield it."
Nodding her head Zelda said. "Yes, and the power to repeal evil is absolute. No evil, no matter how powerful, can ever touch the blade. So, I ask you, how did that thing inside Link's dream, that gave off such a dark aura, not only awoken the spirit of the Master sword out of an eternal sleep, but also rip control of the dream world from me, stop the Triforce of wisdom, and made it all look effortless?"
"I don't know." Impa said shrugging. "As far as I know only another wielder of the Triforce can stop one of the pieces."
"Exactly, to oppose the power of one of the three goddesses, you need the power of a god."
"...Princess Zelda, are you saying the thing inside Link's dream, is a god?" Said Impa stunned.
"Yes, I am." Zelda said getting up from her chair and going to stand Infront of the window. "You heard what Fi said. She couldn't tell what his intentions were or what he was. But she could tell that he was not lying."
Shaking her head to focus Impa asks. "If you had this all thought of, why didn't you tell Link?"
Turning back to Impa Zelda said. "Because even now I'm still not sure. It's a lot to take in, if you are told that you are dealing with a god. And if the hints I saw are right we might very well be dealing with a god from the Twilight Realm."
Thinking it all over Impa said. "'A god from the Twilight Realm' huh? Well, if you're right let's just pray that it's a benevolent god instead of a wrathful one."
Cracking a smile Zelda said. "And just who would we pray to in that situation?"
Rolling her eyes Impa said. "You know what I mean. I got to go and meet up with the patrol before they depart for the night, so I will take my leave."
Nodding her head Zelda said. "I need to get some fresh air to sort out my thoughts, so I'm going to take a stroll around the plaza."
"Shall I call your guard?" Impa said holding the door open for the princess.
"No, I just want some time to myself. I won't be far." Zelda said stepping into the hallway.
"As you wish Princess Zelda." Impa said bowing to her and heading down the hall.
As Zelda heads in the opposite direction, she thinks all that happened over. 'I have a feeling things are only going to more complicated.'
As he sits on the edge of the fountain in the middle of the plaza, he hangs his head down. 'Well, this is fine mess I found myself in. I don't know where I am, and I got no money for food or a room. What am I going to do?' He thinks as his stomach growls.
"Excuse me sir are you alright?" Said a women's voice.
Looking up he sees a beautiful women illuminated by the orange light of the setting sun with long chestnut brown hair and sky blue eyes, wearing some king of fancy dress. Thinking she's talking to someone else he looks around the plaza only to see most of the people have appeared to have gone home, as there is only a hand full left. and none of them seem to notice the beauty Infront of him.
Looking back at her he said. "Are you here to take me to heaven?"
"I'm sorry?" She says confused.
Shaking his head, he said. "Did I starve to death? And are you an angel here to take to the afterlife?"
More confused now she said "Um...no, I'm not an angel. And, you are not dead."
Snapping out of his stupor he can feel heat fill his face. "Right. Sorry. I can't remember the last time I ate something. So, when I saw beautiful women like yourself appear Infront of me I thought I had died." He said without thinking.
The blue eyed woman raises an eyebrow.
He then slaps both hands over his moth when he realized what he said. "And now I wish I was dead." He lamented.
The woman lets out a giggle and walks away.
Putting his head in his hands he groans out. "Well, that was embarrassing."
After a few minutes of thinking if he wants to try and drown himself in the fountain or not, something enters his field of vision. Lifting his head up he sees the same woman Infront of him again, holding one small loaf of bread in each hand.
Not sure what to make of it he said. "Uh...?"
Smiling she said. "I have had a lot on my mind today and you managed to take my mind off of it, if but only for a moment. So, the least I can do is make sure you don't starve and meet some real angels."
Taking one of the loafs from her he said. "Thank you, Miss..?"
"Zelda." She said taking a seat next to him.
"'Zelda.'" He said ripping off a piece of bread and starts chewing it. Swallowing he gets a thoughtful look on his face. "I feel like I have heard that name before." He said.
"Hmm? I wonder why?" She mussed, taking a bite of her loaf.
Putting her hand out she faces him. "I'm Zelda, it's nice to meet you...?"
Taking the hint, he grabs her gloved hand and said. "My names Vaati. It's nice to meet you as well, Zelda."
Thats it for this chapter!

Chapter 7: Night of the undead
