Hyrule and it's Warrior

Chapter fourteen: Only the beginning

Zelda was finally calm and content. The world has been quiet and peaceful with the occasional monster. Everyone was happy and so was Zelda. She watched as everyone practiced. Zelda would stare at Link most of the time as he instructed the new knights. Link looked back and met her gaze, he smiled at her as she waved. Link called the practice for the time being, he wanted to talk to his Zelda. He met her up on the balcony where she was. Before they were so private but now, they could really care less of who sees them.

"Hello, Princess." Link smiled giving Zelda a nice kiss on her cheek. She smiled,

"Well hello, Link." She looked at him and gently blushed. By this time people had to know about them. They talked about the new knights that came in, how training was going and such but after that it was time to start talking about the war.

"Let's go back inside for this." Link nodded to Zelda's statement. Once they got inside Zelda brought Link to a quiet room that was for conversations such as this. Link closed the door as Zelda sat in one of the chairs. She sighed gently as she held a hand over her face. She looked up once she felt a small kiss on her cheek.

"I know this war is bothering you, Zelda." Link softly smiled, sitting in a chair next to her,

"What gave it away?" She gently chuckled, "I just... I want to know the reason. Obviously this Cia character has a big thing about you." Zelda looked at him. His face was listening and his eyes were stern.

"She can't hurt me. And she will not hurt you, not as long as I'm by your side." Link smiled, Zelda nodded.

"I-I know... I just can't help but think about the fact that she may love you..." She looked down again, almost ashamed that that was her biggest worry.

"Zelda." Link's voice was deep, quiet, it sent chills down her spine and even more so when he gently touched her face and turned her to look at him. He looked different now, concentrated, concerned. Zelda felt her face get warm and suddenly his lips were pressed on hers. Their eyes closed and they shared a deep kiss.

"Nothing will hurt you, nothing will separate us, Zelda. We can win this war." Link smiled, seeing her face start to relax,

"I know... I just can't help but worry. When will they attack next?"

"We don't need to worry because we can head out and find them first." Link stood and brought out his map and opened it onto the table. "We just need to know the places we have already been."

Zelda stood and looked at the map, she scanned it and pointed out all of the places they had already been. She pointed to the only place left.

"Here. This is where we have to go. Hopefully this Cia person will be there and we can fix this whole mess." Link could see the fire in her eyes.

"I'll go get the soldiers prepared for tomorrow." Link kissed her cheek, "Soon this will all be over... And we can have a normal life. Together." He had the sweetest smile, the kind he only shared when he truly meant something he said. No rules. Just them, together. Zelda smiled with a nod,

"I like that plan." Link smiled back at her before leaving the room. Once he closed the door behind him he took a deep breath. This war was playing on his spirits, he wanted to make Zelda happy but he needs to look after himself as well although he knows that's what Zelda is trying to do. They just might have to call in some help, maybe Lana could talk some sense into Cia, what with them being the same person really. Link was mostly frustrated as he walked down the halls, he didn't know what to think, for generations this woman has had some childish crush on him and because of her jealousy, started a war. It was ridiculous!

Link was back outside with his troops, giving them the plan and orders for tomorrow. They all obeyed his wishes and without hesitation, everyone started to train. Some would practice against Link and if they did not hit him, they would do it again and again. It was time to finally end this war.
