Legend of the Clashing Sisters

Part 8

Without delay, I told them everything that I have experienced. I left out not one important detail in my narration of all events in mine and my sister's shared past. From our auspicious tutelage with the Wise Men to the bitter conflict that was to become our current situation. After I told them my sad tale, they became spellbound. They were indeed awfully shocked. Zelda: "I...I never heard of something so horrible. Glentina, I don't know what else to say." Link: "I can't believe your own sister would do such terrible things. Eradicating your entire people? That is...devastating beyond words." Myself: "And now my sister has enforced herself upon your worldly issues. She said something about hunting down some sort of object known as the Triforce. What would that be?" Zelda: "The Triforce is a mystic item that was left behind by 3 Divine Women known as the Golden Goddesses. It is a small fraction of their powers that can grant 1 wish to whoever would lay their hand upon it."

From hearing this, I felt calmly dejected and near silenced. Myself: "I...I see...knowing that, I can confirm my sister's motive for desiring to seek out the Triforce: she wishes to obtain Ultimate Power not only to satiate her never-ending lust for power but to put an end to our ongoing disputes and finish me off once and for all."

That was when tears welled up in my eyes. Myself: "I...I am so sorry. This be my fault. My sister did this because of me. Now we have brought you into this. I am so sorry." Zelda: "No, Glentina. You shouldn't be sorry. This wasn't your fault, really. You had no way of knowing this would happen." Link: "That's right. This is your sister's doing, not yours. You're not responsible. Besides, as terrible as our situation is, we're a lot more distraught about what you have been through. If anything, we're sorry for all the terrible things that have happened to you."

Zelda nodded her head gently. Myself: "You...you mean it?" Zelda: "Absolutely." Myself: "I...thank you both."

My tears ceased flowing and a small grin slowly appeared on my face.

Within little time, Link and Zelda settled on becoming acquainted with me. Zelda: "So, how about we introduce ourselves to you?" Myself: "No need. I have listened in on both of you and received your names. You are Link and Zelda." Zelda: "Yes, that is right." Myself: "I have also heard of you speak of that dreadful male that my sister was seen with, his name be known as Ganondorf, correct?" Link: "Unfortunately, yes, that much is true." Zelda: "He is the sole male member of a band of thieves in the desert. He once swore allegiance with my father, but it was just a ruse to conceal and fulfill his true motive." Myself: "The Triforce?" Link: "The Triforce." Zelda: "We managed to expose his wicked scheme and had him sent off to a dungeon within the desert. He was supposed to be executed, but then..." Myself: "My sister intervened and prevented it; most troublesome, indeed." Link: "There's no doubt Ganondorf and Malbella have the same goal on their minds." Zelda: "Exactly. This means that it will only be a matter of time before they find us." Link: "If either of them would so much as lay a finger on our pieces of the Triforce, it could spell complete disaster for all of us; not just Hyrule." Myself: "Then I shall do everything in my power to prevent this terrible catastrophe from ever occurring. It be the least I can do for everyone." Zelda: "You won't do this alone. We're here for you and we will do this with you." Link: "Absolutely."

I was most surprised by this. Myself: "What? You would take on this daunting task along side of me?" Link: "Of course. This is just as much our burden as you have decisively made it yours. We will face this together." Zelda: "We need to do this for Hyrule. This has always been our sworn task for generations. It is a part of our heritage as well as our bloodline." Myself: "I can fathom that without question, but how shall you be able to accomplish this?" Link: "We're not sure, but we'll be able to figure something out." Zelda: "Mm-hm!"

I hesitated for a brief moment, then conceded with their mutual decisiveness. Myself: "If that is what you feel you must do, than so be it. I will be obliged to consider any aid bestowed upon me."

Henceforth, I, along with Link and Zelda, established a pact, such that we made as we placed our hands upon one another's accordingly. Myself: "I vow to work with you both in preventing both of your pieces of the Triforce from falling into the hands of Ganondorf and my sister, Malbella." Zelda: "And we shall do the same with you, as well." Link: "I agree. Let's maintain this promise and guard these pieces with our lives as well as try to take back the 3rd piece that is currently with Ganondorf and that witch." Zelda: "But of course. This way, we can be able to use all 3 pieces as how they should be used: for the truly good." Myself: "I shall be in accordance to this."
