The Legend: Part II: Chapter 45 - Peace

Zelda's P.O.V

After the battle against Fierce Deity and Armani, Link and I had closed the Temple of Time forever and destroyed the Ocarina of Time. The Fierce Deity mask would never bring any sort of harm to this realm ever again. Unfortunately there was other problems to deal with besides those once we returned to Castle Town. Both Termina's and Hyrule's guards had been hostile since the moment Link, Armani, and I vanished and warped to the Temple of Time. Link was currently wounded and needed medical attention right away so I quickly had him escorted to the palace to get the care he needed while I returned to Hyrule Field to end the battle going on between the two kingdoms. As I approached the scene on horse back I saw many wounded and many still fighting. "Stop!" I shouted as I trotted forward into the battle. There was a moment when everyone stopped fighting as I stood between the two battling parties. "Enough fighting. Its over. Fierce Deity is gone. Armani is dead. Please let's stop this. We don't need to fight any longer." I tried. "Then what do you suppose we do now?" A man from Termina asked. "We make peace. " I suggested. "You killed our prince!" Another guard from Termina added. "He was possessed by the spirit within the mask he put on. He was a danger to not just Hyrule but to Termina too." I explained. Suddenly Mido stepped forward and sheathed his sword. "I'm with the queen on this. Armani was dangerous and needed to be put down. You all saw his lust for power he didn't care for you or your perishing kingdom." Mido explained. The army from Termina all murmured in agreement. "But what do we do now? We all have families back home in Termina that need our help. We came to Armani's aid to ensure that Queen Zelda married him and that our kingdoms would be combined. How else would Hyrule help our dying kingdom?" One of the guards from Termina asked. "I am not a cold, and evil ruler. I will ensure supplies be sent to Termina to help feed your people and I will send healers to help with the disease." I promised. "We can't depend on your supplies forever we must be able to fend for ourselves if we are to survive." Another guard stated.  "I understand that your land is barren and unable to grow crops, but we will find a way. I promise I will do everything I can to ensure that you are all taken care of, but only if Hyrule's kind gesture will secure peace between our two kingdoms." I explained. "King Daltus won't be happy when he finds out about Armani's death. He will want war. But we mustn't fight his battles men. Queen Zelda will take care of us. She will do more than King Daltus and she will save us all!" A guard from Termina shouted. Suddenly all of then men from Termina dropped their weapons and bowed to me. I then dismounted my horse and curtsied in response. "Thank you all for your cooperation. Now let us all return to Castle Town where the wounded can be tended to." I suggested.
