Royal Rebel 5 ~ Worlds Apart

Chapter 5-1: Heart to Heart

"Princess..." The princess of Hyrule opened her eyes slowly, and she looked up to see a purple figure fade into her vision, and the scene around him was pink, and glowy. "It's so nice to see you again..." After a few moments, her view settled enough for her to make out some facial features of this man, and glowing golden eyes stared back at her.

She squinted as she watched him turn to walk away, and she took deep breaths as a soreness ran through her arms and legs. She looked to her wrist, and beneath the cold, metal bracelet that binded her to the wall, she could see her veins had a deep purple tint.

"We've met before, if you don't remember. But, enough about that for now." He slowly paced the room, and a glowing pink orb followed him with each step he took. "I'm only just glad I was honored with a second meeting between us."

"What do you want with me?" She hissed, feeling weaker with every word she spoke, hardly able to hold her head up. She leaned forward, tugging on the chains that held her to the wall behind her, and she groaned as she realized her legs were overtaken by numbness.

"I want to make a little deal with you." A sly smile came to his lips, and _____ narrowed her eyes as she considered the things he could possibly want with her. But before he could propose this deal, a tall yiga man burst into the room.

"Astor," The man panted, and the prophet turned around to see him, one eyebrow raised as he waited for him to speak. "The king and queen are on their way, and they've brought reinforcements. They know we have the princess." A tall Gerudo woman walked in behind the man, and the princess could quickly see who this was.

"Ah, there you are." Urbosa ambled her way to _____, and she kneeled down and placed one of her hands on the girl's chin. "Darling _____, I always thought you were a smart girl. However did you get yourself into this mess?" She smiled darkly, but the princess grunted and pulled her head away.

"I know you're not Urbosa." An evil glint in the emerald eyes of the chief gave this away to her, and Kohga and Sooga both knew this. "Let me go!"

"I still have yet to make my offer to you." Astor stepped forward, waving his hand for the two yiga men to leave. He leaned over, his face just inches away from the princess's, and she scowled at him. "You have an incredible power. One that hasn't been seen in millenia."

"And?" She hissed, and this initiated him to pull a scroll out of his pocket, the Gerudo Elemental scroll. She gasped, and he opened it to reveal the ancient writing on it.

"You and I could work together to create the most powerful creatures Hyrule has ever seen. Elemental beasts new to this world!" He placed a hand on her shoulder as he smiled, but she showed no change in her feelings about helping him. "The power of the Elements and Malice combined... we could easily overpower the Triforce and Sword of ancient legend."

"Why would I want to do that?" She asked, and he rolled the scroll back up and walked to the other side of the room.

"Well, so you can keep your life." He held a dagger in his hand, and her eyes went wide as she glanced between the shiny metal blade and the devious smile on the man's face. "So, _____... will you stand by my side, or will you stand in my way?"

"I will never stand by your side." She growled, and Astor was a bit taken back by her answer.

"I must say I'm a little disappointed. I gave your sister this opportunity once, and she made the same decision as you." He lifted the dagger up, and he kneeled down in front of her and pressed it to her chest. "Are you sure you don't want just one last chance to side with me?"

She only continued to glare at him, and he hummed and sighed.

"You're a fool." He stood up, pulling the dagger away from her, and he returned to his desk on the opposite wall.
