Ch. 16
Zelda's Adventure
By: Cutegirlmayra1 (lol, this is the first time I've ever written notes before writing a chapter! Lol! I thought I should include them at the bottom if you wanted to see my thought process. Although, now looking back, I didn't really follow them completely :p. I wanted to wrap everything, lovingly, up at this point. I hope you enjoy the story and are THRILLED with the outcome! Also! I miss spelled Uni's name in the last chapter x I'm sorry! It's been forever since I typed her name! it's not Umi, it's Uni. Just to clear things up XD I should uh… go back and fix that someday…hehe)
Link walked the empty halls of the castle, feeling like a ghost stuck in a haunted house, he tried desperately to think of a way out of this mess. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was stuck… for good. His stuff was taken from him, even his green shirt, so now he was stuck in his white undershirt and feeling like a slave, feeding poor trapped souls in orbs to Jewele whenever she summoned him. At least he wasn't encaged in her gem that held his soul, though. He had free range over the castle, but whenever he tried to escape the gem would pull him back and inside the castle's walls.
"My other selves? Where are you? Can you hear me? Why have you forsaken me?" Link tried and tried to call for his other lives to help him, but they had abandoned him. Lost in grief and disappointment at Link for breaking the bond of legend and disrupting all of time itself. They remained silent, and waited for the undeniable end that had befell them. No more lives, no more heroes… nothing… was the future ahead.
"Oh, Link~" Called Jewele from her throne room in her spooky black wispy castle. Link sighed, he felt his soul being drawn to her voice and knew he had to obey. Walking up to her, he frowned and glared at her slightly.
"What do you wish of me?"
"Oh, don't look so distraught. Come here~"
She leaned on one side of her chair, a tray of lost souls were being held up by another one of her minions, trapped, just like Link. He reluctantly walked over to her, kneeling down beside her.
"Hehe, good boy." she praised, ruffling his hair which made him shake out of her grasp and fix his hair, glaring at her even more. "Oh, Link. My precious little hero~ Why do you try and purposefully act this way?" She snapped her fingers, making the soul next to her fly over to link, showing him the tray of lost souls screaming and crying out for help, wanting to be freed. "Feed me, won't you? Gently now~ Don't want any of those poor, innocent souls getting hurt." she smiled wickedly, stroking the gem around her neck that held his soul bound to her orders and commands.
Link, twitched to try and not obey, but was forced to do so. 'Obeying Zelda felt so different from this! I felt that my soul desired to do her wishes, because I knew it was right and it filled me with pride and joy. But Jewele's control over my soul… it's.. it's heart breaking..' Link thought, taking the defenseless Soul and holding it's orb in it's hand.
"Please! Don't do this! I want to go home! Stop! No!" The soul cried out, making Link turn away, anger and misery filling his heart as he tried to hand to Jewele, his hand shaking.
"…No, drop it in my mouth." Jewele wasn't gonna stop there, she wanted to show him whose boss, leave every bit of hope he had of escaping to ruin. Link felt his body move on it's own, and raising the soul up, he felt his hand release the orb into jewele's mouth, as it screamed and was lost inside her being. "Emmm.. Yum!" she said, licking her lips. "Thanks, darling~"
Link moved away, feeling grief engulf himself he leaned against the wall. Clutching his chest, he breathed heavily, having tried so desperately to pull away from the spell that forced him to obey. "Noo…NOOO!" he finally screamed out, "I can't let this be my fate!"
"Ha! A little to late for that, love." Jewele chimed in, smiling as she snapped and picked up another soul. "Excuse me? I'm still hungry…"
Suddenly, the doors swung open, and Jewele, furiously, looked to the door. "Who dares enter here!?" her form shifted slowly, into her demonic form, as her voice was filled with her enraged being.
"….I'm here to challenge the Grim Reaper known as Jewele." The man spoke, having his face concealed behind a white scarf that wrapped around his mouth and forehead, leaving only his red eyes showing through his blonde hair that covered only a slight bit of his face.
"Well now you've come to the right place." Jewele slowly, shifted out of her demonic form. Leaning back in her throne, she placed a delicate hand under her cheek. "You know, to challenge a grim reaper… you must bet your soul."
"I know of this." He responded. "I'm willing to become your soul servant, if I cannot defeat you." He walked firmly up the hall, advancing till he was inside, and standing a few feet away from Jewele's throne.
"Ohh~ how exciting!" Jewele seemed to be getting excited now, placing her hands together, she looked to Link, then back to the man. "What's your name? My poor, little lost soul?" she held out her hands to him, and acted like she wanted to embrace him.
"…I'm known as.. Sheik. I'm a sheikah, of the royal family of hyrule." He stated, and glared at Jewele.
"The royal family..?" Link looked wide-eyed at Sheik, "Did… I mean, were you sent here by-"
"Princess Zelda." Jewele then finished for him, her joy vanishing as she looked less than thrilled to hear of her again. "I was sure that little munchkin would of learned her place by now… Why would she DARE send you to challenge ME?" she sat up in her chair, her dark powers rippled through the castle, as the ends of her black dress danced like wisps of powerful darkness. "Very well. I'll fight you." Jewele smiled. "I'll summon my favorite servant…" she looked to the green shaded gem around her neck, and broke it off. Tossing it out, Link felt his spirit being sucked into it.
"W-what's happening!?" Link cried out.
Sheik beheld a strange orb get sucked inside the gem she just released. "..?!" he then stood back, seeing it break and explode and revealing a stone image. The image was black, like dark link, it's figure was of Link's form but with red gems for eyes. The master sword was being melted to his hand, and so was his shield. "…Link…"
"That's right, Hyrule's precious Hero of Time is mine to control! And look, it's only been a few hours and he's already shifting into my beautiful minion!" she giggled and squee'd like a fan girl in her chair, bouncing slightly up and down. "He must be simply drowning in his sorrows to shift so quickly! Oh, Linky-poo~ Do me a favor and destroy your Princess's little Sheikah, k? thanks." she smiled and watched, leaning back and picking up the lost soul she let go of and eating it.
"…..I will… not lose." Sheik crouched down, preparing for battle. Demon Link moved as well, but in his thoughts, he could not help but scream in misery to stop himself. Sheik dodged a quick swipe, and continued to circle with him. Finally, it seemed Demon Link had enough, he lunged to attack him. Sheik jumped, with a bit of to much grace for Link, as he spun a tight ball and turned around again, pulling out daggers to throw with.
'How strange.. He doesn't seem to fight like a man usually would.. Where'd he train?' Link thought, suddenly mesmerized by this man's battle movements. But not a second went by before Sheik saw his true target. The gem that held Link prison came out of Demon Link's body, rushing itself to Jewele, who held it and stroked it playfully next to her face.
Smiling, Jewele whispered, "Strike." and Demon Link ran toward Sheik yet again. Sheik didn't attack yet again, but skillfully ducked under the blade and moved behind him, kicking him away from himself. Then, began to aim again.
"Why not fight? I thought this was suppose to be a fun battle." Jewele complained, "Or is the hero's new form to frightening for you?" she teased, gently playing with Link's soul orb with her fingers.
Sheik glared, that was all he could stand and watch. He threw his blades, luckily, the shock of his attack took Jewele off guard, as she screamed in fright as the gem in her hands shattered into pieces. "NOOOOOOOO!" Jewele shifted into her demon form, trying to grab all the pieces again as Demon Link fell.
Sheik ran over to him, but couldn't catch him. He was pure stone, and slowly, he shifted back into Link, flesh and blood, no longer a soul to her command.
Free
"Uhh…"
"Link?"
Link slowly came too, shaking his head. "Y-You freed me!" he exclaimed.
"There's no time for thanks now!" Sheik instructed, and helped him up, "I'll aim for her other gems! You slay her down to the ground!" Sheik saw her anger fuming, as she threw multiple Gems out from her neck. "GIVE ME HIM BACK!" she commanded. The gems all broke into orbs, that shattered into beings she controlled as well. Sheik jumped, head first, back above it, over one of them and then landed impressively close to the ground, running like a ninja toward Jewele. "STOP HIM!" she ordered, rising up as her whole being became darkness and moved around her. Link fought the other demons, summoning his strength, and finally using his own free will, he used the Master sword to slay any demon that dared to cross his path.
"Sheik! Now!" Link shouted.
Sheik jumped into the air, and threw his daggers and darts all at once form an angle to the side. Leaping from the left to the right, directly in front and across from where Jewele's menacing being floated above her throne. "Be gone, and with you, the rest of the evil darkness in this land!"
"NNNNNOOOOOO, NEVERRRR! AHHHHH!"
Her beads of gems all broke, and Link jumped up from behind Sheik, slashing an X through her, and then stabbing in. A light flew from Jewele's being, and he pushed deeper inside, before swinging his sword out. A billion balls of light flew out of her being, cheering their freedom and gratitude as they flew out and away. The demons she had summoned returned to their original forms. Some were stray dogs with limps in their legs, the one who was a giant and cried blood on the battle field of Ganondorf's was a warrior with two swords, finally saved, he ran out with joy, dropping his weapons behind. The ghostly, shrieking women were just lost girls that had disappeared in the woods long ago. Sheik watched as all the souls left, crying their joy at freedom and leaving to find a place of rest. The rest of the souls left to the clouds, finally returning to the after life where they truly belonged.
"…Hero Link.." Sheik turned to Link, who was down on one knee, breathing heavily. He turned his face slightly to Sheik, before he stood up and put his sword and shield away, behind his back.
"Yes..?"
"…The Princess… she awaits your return." Sheik turned around, facing his back to him.
"….Look at me again…"
Sheik looked surprised when Link placed a hand on his shoulder, and turned him around. "…. there's not a second where you would of attacked me… why?"
"…." Sheik turned his head, "…The Princess.. She missed you. She didn't want you harmed." After his sentence, Link moved him directly in front of him.
"…Take off the drape around your head…" he ordered, but his voice sounded softer, more like a plea.
"…! W-…what?" Sheik looked confused.
"Take off.. Your mask.."
Link didn't wait this time for Sheik's response, as he began to move the white clothing from Sheik's head, Sheik closed his red eyes, a flash of light sprang from him as Link stopped and hid his eyes with his arm. Looking back, he noticed nothing much had changed, until his eyes opened, revealing blue eyes.
"Link… I took this form to trick Jewele. I was afraid she'd know me if I didn't-"
Link embraced her, almost to the point of tears, he whispered her name in such love and devotion that Zelda's eyes shook at the intensity that she felt just then. Slowly, she lifted her arms up to him, and embraced him back.
"…I… I couldn't bare you in her servitude!" she suddenly confessed. "Link… I… I.."
"I love you."
"Whoohoo! I love you too!"
"W-what?"
Link and Zelda looked at each other, "I-I didn't say that…" Link confessed, looking behind Zelda and gasping.
Zelda turned her head, and gasped as well, "Dark Link!"
It was in fact Dark Link, but something was different with him. Instead of black attire, he wore white, and his hair was bleached blonde. His eyes were a lighter color than Link's and he was… genuinely smiling. "Hello, friends." he said happily, and took off his hat and bowed.
"I-I thought you were dead." Link spoke out, amazed and flabbergasted by his appearance.
"I was. The old me anyway. Once Zelda destroyed Jewele, the last evil of Ganon's was destroyed, now my soul is completely, and utterly light!" Light Link looked ecstatic, smiling from ear to ear. "Your light still exists with you, Princess. And as long as it does, I shall forever be, your servant, and you my Master. Your other Link, if you will." he put his hat back on, and rolled his eyes, "You have no idea how much I hated saying that." he suddenly said. "hehe, I might be all good now, but that doesn't mean I don't have some of my mischievous habits. HAHA!" he laughed, then looked slightly serious to the two, looking away in shame. "Z-…Zelda… Please forgive me of my wrongs against you… I'm truly sor-"
"Speak no more of it, Light Link." she giggled at his new name. "All your wrongs are forgiven, as long as you serve me well."
Light Link smiled, "Well then, I hate the break the moment up. But master, you still have a ceremony to get too."
Link and Zelda looked at each other in confusion, then back to Light Link.
Light Link looked surprised and then sighed in disappointment. "REALLY?! You forgot about the broken Oath, ALREADY!? Gosh, listen, I know madly in love, but seriously guys, stick with the program." He walked behind the two, love birds, and began to gently push them out the door. Once they were out, the castle blew away with the wind and was no more. "Since you two made the last temple crash to the ground, we'll have to use an alterative setting for your ceremony. Now, where, oh, where could another temple be? Hmm?" he put his hands together and looked back and forth to Zelda and Link, smiling when he saw they understood where he was going with this, and smiled to him. "Now then, since we're all on the same page-" he took a deep breath with a happy smile on his face, "Get on the dumb horse." his expression changed completely, showing Dark Link's expression of hate and envy over their relationship as well as his annoyance at their stupidity.
As Light Link walked through the center of Link and Zelda, they both looked back at each other nervously, blushing and looking away. "Um… I do.. Uh.. Love.. Eh-hm." Link wanted to respond, but Dark link's interference made it to awkward now.
"It's alright, Link. I know…" Zelda walked up to him and smiled, placing her hands on his chest, she lightly kissed him on his cheek, and walked to Epona, "Now, let's fix our legend! Together!"
Link blushed and scratched the back of his head nervously, and then nodded with a smile towards Zelda. Light Link rolled his eyes and 'BLEH'd on Epona, making her buck him back behind her rear where he first struggled to hang on in the beginning. "DARN IT, I HATE THIS HORSE!" he screamed out.
Uni walked slowly up to Deku Tree Jr.'s grove, holding her Flute tightly in her hands.
Deku Tree Jr. slowly woke up from his nap, yawning, and sensing a magical presence he squinted and smacked his lips. Seeing Uni, he stood up straight with a smile, wiggling in delight, "Well, well. Look whose back in the village! My Pa did well in sending you away to learn discipline and affection! I saw what you did, he would have been proud of you!" Deku Tree Jr. watched as she nodded and came toward him.
"Am…am I free now?"
"What? From being the keeper of the Legend? Sure! You destroyed the wall, didn't ya?" he asked, curiously.
"Yes, and Link's future is back to normal, along with all his other lives, I checked myself." she said, putting her hands behind her back and rocking cutely. "…So… I'm free? I can go back to being a regular kokiri?"
"Sure thing, sweetie. But uh… remember, hehe, the kids don't exactly like you much for your past pranks on them…" Deku Tree Jr. reminded her.
"I.. I Know-"
"OHIKNOW!" OhIknow came dashing out from behind her, flying around her in delight and racing up to Deku Tree Jr.
"Sorry, OhIknow, I can't free you of your curse until I'm all grown up! My Pa's magic is just to strong for me right now!" he sadly responded.
"Oh…OhIknow…OhIknow.." he flew back behind Uni, a bit sad.
"Gee, I remember coming here like it was yesterday…" Uni remembered, letting the past fill her thoughts again.
-Sometime, before Link became the Hero of Time.-
"For your crimes against the Kokiri, I banish you to writing and watching over the legends of Zelda till your duty is fulfilled." The Great Deku Tree stated, casting a spell over a little Uni.
"In your dreams OLD OAK. I'm not gonna do diddly-squat for ya!" Uni said defiantly. "My flute can undo your magic!" she stated, holding her flute up triumphantly.
"You will do as your punishment describes, only then, when you learn to consider others before yourself, and learn kindness and respect for others." The Great Deku Tree then wiggled, and OhIknow appeared and dashed to Uni, frightening her.
"W-what is that thing!?"
"This was a fairy of mine, who despite my warnings, ease-dropped and became a nosy gossiper. He told others secrets and used them against them, he thought he was a know-it-all and tried to rule the fairies with his dark knowledge. I cursed him into this demon form, only able to say, "Oh I know.", as he now knows the feelings within ones heart. The spell will be broken once I, or another of my same justice, sees he's changed into a caring and kind hearted soul again." OhIknow stuck his tongue out at Uni, seeing and feeling the misbehavior and rebelliousness in her heart.
"You two will work together to free yourselves from my curse."
"But why?! Why do I need to guard it anyway!?" Uni folded her arms, upset that her power might not be able to rival his own.
"Soon, the boy without a fairy will begin a perilous trek. After he begins his third journey to save Hyrule, he will be faced with a great danger. He must have the choice, to awaken his past and future lives to aid him, or travel this grave quest alone. You must await him in the Forbidden lands, and remember your duty to me at all times." The Great Deku Tree looked down at Uni again, after gazing into the future. "Do you understand your worth in all this?"
"What!? The boy without a fairy!? The little baby that Saria's taking care of?! That little-"
"Ehem…"
"Y-yeeeahh… Whatever…" Uni sighed, annoyed. "How do I get there?"
"You will become the wind that helps the leafs to fly."
"What does that mean-Wo..WOAHHH!?" suddenly, a gust of wind picked up, carrying leafs as she formed with it, and it carried her and OhIknow away. She landed on the Forbidden lands, and found the wall The Great Deku Tree spoke of. She blew up on her hair to get it out of her eyes, and also in annoyance at her task as she played her flute, her notes began to write the legend, that would be known as … The Legend… of Zelda…
-Back to Present Time-
Uni walked out and into the village, seeing the kokiri children laughing and playing, till they all stopped to stare at her. Having their memories as immortal as they were, they looked to her with frowns and their eyebrows down in disapproval. They didn't like her still, that was obvious. Uni looked down, ashamed and embarrassed, knowing what she did to them wouldn't be so easily rewritten and forgotten.
"OhIknow! OhIknow!" OhIknow gently nudged her, and then put his big shadowy claw on her flute, looking up at her cutely as the tip of his head, his long tail-like darkness gently rippled behind him. His ghostly look but cute big eyes made her giggle, and she felt her fears leaving her. "I know too, buddy. I know too.." she petted his head, which made him squeal in delight. She picked up her flute, and began to play a tune. Suddenly, a gust of wind, and leafs began to morph together and make the silhouettes of dancers dancing together with a partner in a huge circle. The children's faces changed to smiles, as they all began to dance along with them. Seeing the kids have fun, Uni took this chance to jump into the center, and dance and play along. The kids didn't mind her presence, and she cried a little, seeing as she was once again, back, and no longer outcasted from her original home.
Link, Zelda, and Light Link made their way up to the Castle gates. When the people saw it was their princess, they cheered in complete delight, opening the gates.
"Hero! Princess!" Otis called out from among the crowd.
"Ah!" Link stopped his horse. "It's him! The man that told me he was your gardener, and the temple's care-taker."
"W-what?" Zelda looked to see the old man as he made his way through the crowd and to Epona.
"Good gracious! Come with me! Quickly! The bond must be made!"
The three of them seemed to gasped, how could he have known that?
"This is no time to explain, I'll tell you everything once we're in the temple of time, hurry, now! Hurry!" he took Epona's reins, making her stomp the ground in defiance, but Link stroked her neck and she grunted her obedience as she let the old man guide her through the bustling crowd.
Once safely inside, Otis explained to them everything… "I'm sorry for tricking you, Hero. The truth is, My ancestor revealed to me in a dream that I was meant to aid you and tell you of Zelda's predicament. I ignored it at first, I mean, it was merely an old man's dreams, who would believe me and not call me mad? But the second I saw the dragons take her away, I knew I made a mistake, and had to warn you and tell you of my mad dream! I'm so sorry… terribly, terribly sorry!" he continued on. "And I wasn't expecting the hero to be… well… you know." he went on, and walked up to the area where the master sword once was.
"Amazing, they built this thing back up huh?" Light Link said, knowing it was destroyed when Zelda was abducted.
"Yes, we work hard, us hylians, haha." Otis commented. "Now, my ancestor said to have you two stand on either side of where the master sword once stood.
"It's a little unbelievable. That you were able to build it up again." Zelda thought, but then remembered how some wizards were in construction so she let it go. Standing to the left, as Link was on the right, the two looked to Otis for instruction.
"Ehem… I uh… I was suppose to met my ancestor here. He is the only one to perform the ceremony." Otis said, worriedly.
"W-what!?" Link and Zelda looked shocked, how was a ghost going to perform the ceremony?!
"I, Raura, the Sage of Light, shall assist you on that." An old man's voice suddenly appeared, and Link and Zelda were teleported to the Temple of Light.
"Wh-what!? Where'd they go! Oh, come on! I wanted to watch.." Light Link ran up to where they once were, and kicked the ground a few times. "DARN IT! If I still had access to the dark realm.." he muttered, but then let the thought go.
Within the Temple of Light, Raura smiled as he greeted the two. Embracing them, he happily moved them to the center of the ring. "Now, in this temple, The Goddesses can influence the ceremony, unlike how they were unable to do anything in the past. Hylia's power remains once again dormant in Zelda, so instead of her power, we must rely on the others Goddesses assistances." Raura explained. "Now then," he began, standing a ways away from them. "Take one another's hands."
Zelda and Link, looking deeply into one another's eyes, took the others hand.
"Repeat this exactly, ehem." Raura began to tell them what to say.
"I, Hylia," Zelda began, repeating Raura's words. "Take the form of humanity and disown my immortal form, giving myself freely to this land. I shall give thee life, and also glory, in my name."
Link then spoke, repeating his words as well, "I, the hero, chosen of Hylia, give myself freely and willingly, to serve the goddess and protect this land, as well as herself, from all that may try and overthrow her power and peace in this land. Till time itself ends, I shall be by her side. Loyal, Faithful, Strong, and True."
"Now then, here's where the goddess's come in.." Raura looked up, seeing three orbs of light coming down from the darkness above them. The light from them was beautiful, as life force suddenly sprang from their beings and into Link and Zelda.
"Now, here's where your souls are split. Hylia's immortal soul is sliced, as well as Link's mortal soul. Switching the pieces, you become half of the other. Link gains the ability to be reincarnated, as Zelda… well, you become human, though your blood is still half God." Raura explained, as the life force gently pulled the souls of them out, as they beheld their souls suddenly split and reattach with the others. "Good! But… what's this?" Raura looked confused. "Seems the Goddesses are not done, their also tying your fates together… their.. Oh dear." Raura blushed.
Zelda did as well, but Link didn't understand why. From their souls, lights of different colors we're being drawn out by the life force, they intertwined with the others soul, dancing and spinning around the strings, till a tight bond was formed between the two souls. The souls returned to their bodies, but the strings were still interlocked.
"W-what is this?" Asked Link, looking to Zelda, who was looking away embarrassedly, as Raura laughed nervously.
"They seem to be performing a celestial marriage. This is how Hylian's marry, though, I have never seen a bond between souls so strongly in my life. Usually, there is only one string, but since you, Link, have so many lives, they have all connected themselves to Zelda's being. Which means… I'm guessing, that the future Zelda's will also be connected with their residing Links." Raura smiled, "Quite the romantics, aren't the goddesses? Haha!"
"W-wait!" Link let go of Zelda hands. The lights stops, the Goddesses orbs of light viciously swayed in anger at his words.
"W-what's wrong?" Raura asked, surprised by his actions. Zelda also, looked to him, speechless.
"If… If I am to be reincarnated.. Won't that mean that if Zelda was too.." he suddenly blushed too.
"You… you are afraid if your blood and Zelda's mix, your other lives would be, technically, in love with their great, great grandchildren?" Raura concluded.
Link nodded, and looked away from Zelda, who looked concerningly back at him.
"Haha! Link, have no fear." Raura reassured him. "When you reincarnate, your blood becomes new. Though your looks stay the same, and I highly doubt you'll change your attire, your actual bloodline will change into that of your parents. It shall be the hero's soul, but another's life. Understand? Your memories will be concealed in your soul, and a new hero will be born from your soul, but will not necessarily, be an exact copy of you."
"Link…"
Link looked to Zelda.
"…This would also mean you must become King…" she added.
"Ah, yes. But no one should know you are king, you should change your name, say your prince of the Forbidden lands, and you wish to create an alliance. Maybe then, you can also help the Forbidden lands regain themselves into the Goddesses favors." Raura suggested.
"…Zelda…" Link cupped her face, not fearing about his past concerns anymore. Moving her face up to his, and stepping forward slightly, he gently whispered close to her face, "I've already become a hero for you… What more than to be anything you require of me, even if it's a king? I would do anything for you…."
The Goddesses liked this, and so they continued the ceremony, tying their fates once again. The lights arose once again, as Zelda's hair began to flow along with her dress, and Link's tunic and hair blew as well in the strange wind of power that was coming form the new oath's everlasting seal.
"Link…"
"Zelda…"
"I love you."
The two kissed passionately, forgetting everything but themselves as past and future converged. Suddenly, Link's other lives became one with his soul, as Zelda's ancestors and future lives all converged as well, having the power to do so now because of having half of Link's soul. So his power, became her own. Every Link, and every Zelda, now sharing the same bond and feeling, the lights we're dancing around them, as suddenly Raura discovered just how many beautiful strings of colors and lights were exploding and wrapping around one another. Link glowed with the green light of his lives, as Zelda glowed a royal purplish pink with her own lives, as Raura smiled and looked away, shrugging.
"Must be the goddesses will, haha. But Zelda must have heirs, or the legend will be disrupted. Uh…" he looked back at them, the fireworks still happening, and then turned around again, giving them time alone. "IIIIIIIII-think I'll mention that little tid-bit a little while later." he smiled, before letting the ceremony continue.
Zelda and Link then we're teleported out of the Temple, still in each other's embrace, they separated their lips and looked at one another, their other selves having departed once the ceremony was over.
"Uh… should I even ask what happened?" Light Link stated, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow at the two.
"…heh… I win, Light." Link teased, looking over to him, but keeping his face still as close as ever to Zelda's…
"W-what?"
"She's mine."
"W-WHAT!?"
"Forever." He looked back at Zelda and smiled, her blushing and looking lovingly back, but trying to hide her nervous smile.
"W-HA-WH-WHA-WHATTTT?!" Light Link flipped out, Otis just watched the two, suddenly connecting the dots and bowed.
"your highnesses!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! YOUR LIKE, SO YOUNGE!" Light Link put his hands on his head, "DRAT! I was hoping to steal her away from you someday…bleh, who am I kidding, I knew even as Dark Link I couldn't separate you two. Poo." he pouted and then sighed, having his little rant and then walking out, dragging Otis with him. "Come on,.. Leave the happy 'Legend' alone…"
Zelda giggled as Link chuckled, she looked up into his eyes and gently kissed him again. "Perhaps… this is what Hylia wanted too…" she spoke softly, having her fingers gently caress Link's cheeks, just gently stroking them as she then moved her head beneath his chin. "I now know, that all the past and the future have wanted this…"
"…Do you..?" Link gently stroked her hair, asking in complete honesty. "Because you don't have to-"
"Silence." she playfully lifted her head and placed her finger on his lips. "Why wouldn't I?"
The years went by, and the new King and Queen ruled the land with justice and power, leading the people in peace, both in Hyrule and in the Forbidden lands, once they accepted the new King to reign over them.
Light Link stayed by their side, still having Zelda's light control him, he happily served the remainder of their days. Zelda bore four children, three boys and one girl. The oldest, Nave, after Navi. Then Hyru, after the land they loved so much. Proceeding with Zink, a combination of their names to represent their love for one another, and finally… Zelda.
And they all lived, happily, ever,
Ever,
Ever,
Ever,
Ever,
Well, for all of time pretty much,
After.
(WOOOOOOOOOO! The end! Yeah! Thanks for staying with me so long guys XD hope this made your day. The end! -party time- anyway, please comment to me what you thought of the story! And read my other-less long- Zelink stories. K, bye bye! Hope you read me real soon!)
NOTES:
-Jewele is controlling Link, forcing him to feed her lost souls, which makes his heart ache. The remaining three lives of his past all seemed to reject him now. Sheik appears, says he'll give his soul to Jewele as another soul slave if he cannot defeat her. Jewele makes Link fight him, he realizes this man is highly skilled, but seems slightly familiar in movements. graceful, instead of powerful like a man usually is. Sheik dodging Link, not hurting him as he is forced to attack. Sheik aims for Jewele's soul orb containing Link's stolen soul.
-Sheik succeeds. Both Link and Sheik defeat Jewele. When jewele dies, all evil is gone from the world, darkness is no more. Link asks Sheik why he saved him. Sheik says for the princess, Link turns him around and slowly unmasks him. Sheik is Zelda, they say how much the other means to them, and right before they kiss, a voice is heard.
-Dark Link has been freed of his split evil side, he's now got the light of Zelda, and only that light, in his soul. Though he still has a mischievous side, he's now good, and calling himself Light Link. Zelda accepts Light Link as her personal guard, since she is now his master. They ride back to Hyrule after hearing from Light Link that the bond of the Goddess and her chosen hero of legend must be reforged. Link meets up with Otis at the walls.
-Quickly shift to Uni, she returns to the forest, Deku Tree Jr. welcomes her playfully. She smiles and begins to reminisce. The Great Deku Tree asks her to guard and write the written Legends of Zelda on a wall in the forbidden lands, as punishment for her foul pranks. She refuses at first, until he tells her what will befall if she doesn't awaken the lives within a, soon to be troubled, Link. She sighs, and agrees, hoping to keep her power, as he curses her with this task. To make sure she cannot break the spell, and learn of kindness and respecting others, she is given OhIknow. A fairy cursed by her nosy habits and causing mayhem by not understanding, just like Uni, that she was hurting people by spreading their secrets and gossiping about them to others. She then becomes nothing more than the wind that flies with leafs as she awaits the day she may return to the Kokiri village. After the flash back, Uni steps into the forest, the kids stop playing and look at her, mostly with frowns and turned down eyebrows for expressions. She grips her flute and begins to play a dancing song. The children smile, as leafs form into silhouettes of green that dance around in a circle. The kids join in and soon she is re-accepted in the village.
-Otis, ancestor of Raura, sage of light. He's sorry for tricking Link in the beginning, he saw all of what he spoke of through a dream from his ancestor. Raura appears to tie Zelda and Link's souls together again. The goddesses approve of the bond by wrapping their fates together, almost like a hylian marriage ceremony.
- Link and Zelda blush a minute, and both asks if there now married. Raura laughs, as Otis shrugs, saying, "It must be the goddess will.". Light Link says it might be best to keep it a secret, that Link shouldn't be a king, or at least, not be known. Zelda must bare children, as that is the only way the bloodline can commence. Link is worried his blood and the goddess will prevent his other lives from being able to love the princesses they save. Raura explains that when Link is reincarnated, usually, they are not of the same blood as he is now. "The form will never change to greatly, and I highly doubt any other attire will look any better than that either. However, your blood will be different, the soul of the hero, the only thing that binds you to your new life. And even then, your memories are forgotten, locked and sealed far away. You will become… another person." With this, Link agrees and accepts the Goddesses wishes, and takes Zelda as his bride. He rules with a different name, so that no one may know who he really is, and Light Link becomes his most trusted servant, and friend. And they all live happily ever after… as his three boys and little girl play in the gardens of Hyrule castle!
