The Legend: Part II: Chapter 41- A Fight of Passion

Zelda's P.O.V

"You have become quite the nuisance. That will be the last time you inconvenience me. Now you die!" He shouted. I quickly turned on my heel to step and unfortunately tripped on the edge of my dress causing me to fall to my knees. Fierce Deity slashed his sword down at me but I quickly rolled out of the way. He groaned in frustration as he brought his sword back up and slashed down again. I rolled away once more but the edge of my dress was caught under his blade. "Blasted dress!" I cursed as I attempted to rip it away. The fabric was wedged in between his sword and the earth making it impossible to get free. Fierce Deity laughed as he left his sword in the ground and began to walk towards me. "I think Link would prefer a far less bloody death for you." Fierce Deity chuckled as he brought his hands to my neck and began to strangle me. I choked out for air and clawed at his hands but it was impossible to loosen his grip. He lifted my legs off of the ground and held me in the air until there was no longer any air in my lungs. I couldn't breathe and the corners of my vision began to blur. 'Link....Fight...." I choked out. Suddenly his grip loosened slightly. I stared into his eyes until I saw a small spark. I knew he was in there. I saw him. I smiled at him at stopped fighting completely. "Its okay....You got....this." I choked out. The fingers around my neck loosened even more as he stared at me. "Zelda." He whispered. Suddenly he cried out in pain and released his grip on my completely. I fell back on my bottom and gasped for air. Once I could breathe again normally I looked to Link. He was on the his knees and gripping his shoulder his his right hand. He turned away from me to reveal that he had been shot with an arrow in the shoulder. A horn sounded in the distance. Through the rain an army was spotted. Both Hyrule's and Termina's were present as the group marched from the front gates of castle town. They were closing in on Link and I. One of the soldiers must have fired the arrow. "I have to get Link to fight this." I thought as I observed him. Link hissed in pain as he broke the arrow in his shoulder and stood up. "i don't have time for this!" He groaned as he scooped up his sword and faced the army. Fierce Deity lifted his sword skyward causing the heavens to open up. Suddenly his sword surged with power and energy seemed to gather within the blade. He swung the blade towards the arm causing a wave of pure power to blast away the army. The left quadrant of the army was blown away by the blast leaving nothing but scorched earth and injured bodies. "Link no!" I screamed. He ignored me and lifted his sword skyward once more. I quickly ran to him and pulled on his arm. He shoved me off and pushed me away. "Enough!" He shouted as he backhanded me. Pain stung my cheek as I held it with my hand. I was protecting the child within me with my opposite arm as I lie there waiting for his next attack. "Link please think about what you're doing. This isn't you!" I begged. "Link is gone!" Fierce Deity shouted as he hit me once more. I flew back and landed on my back.  He then stood above me and grabbed me by the front of my dress. "Link....Please....I....Love...You." I cried. Tears burned in my eyes as I stared into Fierce Deity's white voids for eyes. I was frightened. This wasn't the life I dreamed of and this is certainly not the way I planned on going. "Think about what you're doing." I repeated. "Think about all the people you've hurt. I know it wasn't you Link. Ronin knows it wasn't you." I explained. "Shut up!" Fierce Deity shouted as he back handed me once more. My lip had split open and my head was spinning. I was fading fast. "Think about all the people you've saved and all the lives to come.....Including....Our...Child's." I choked out. Suddenly all Link's movements stopped. Fierce Deity released his grip on me and backed up slowly. He grabbed his head in pain as he struggled to keep himself in check. "No!" Fierce Deity cried as he fell to his knees.
