We walked into a very symmetrical room, paintings of people I knew nothing about all over the walls in the left and right halls. In front of us was a staircase that lead to somewhere else (I didn't know where). Zelda and I only took a few steps until we heard more shouting of joy and more footsteps.
"You're back!" the incredibly short, green-dressed man with two hats on either side of his head said, "I can't believe you came back. I am Chancellor Cole." He bowed in front of us, and we bowed and curtsied back to him. "Come, come, let me show you to the throne room for your coronations today." He walked us up the staircase in the middle of the room to what appeared to be the throne room. He then showed us to our thrones of rule. "What shall we do for your coronation?"
"If this really is a coronation, I say call all the townspeople of Castletown to this room, and let there be a ball either tonight or tomorrow night (if you can go from coronation to ball easily, let's do it tonight.)"
"Your ball shall be held tonight, your majesty. Guard!" Chancellor Cole then walked down the stairs and out of the throne room with a guard at his side. We were then alone in the throne room. I leaned to my left.
"Sara, I suspect that short man is no man (at least not that of the helpful sort)."
"Is it because of the hats?" she asked.
"Yes. It isn't possible to wear two hats on opposite sides of the head. I suspect he has something to do with the legend."
"Then take me with you to the temple, but act reluctantly."
"Very well, then, I shall." At that very moment, people started filling the throne room left to right. Cole returned with the guards, and the guards walked through the side doors on either side of Zelda and I.
"Your majesties, I have summoned everyone here," Cole said, bowing before me.
"Very good," I replied, "Does anyone know about the ball?"
"No, your majesty."
"Then, after this, I have a quest to complete. The ball shall be held tomorrow night."
"Very well, your majesty." Chancellor Cole bowed and left. Everyone was now in the room, so the princess and I stepped forth towards royalty. A man of an older age stepped into the room, a book in his hands. We were then provided each with a staff and an orb. The orb was placed in our left hand and the staff in our right. Both of us stood front and center for the crowd to see the crowns placed upon our heads after the recital of the coronation.
After the coronation, there was much festivity out and about the castle and Castletown. Princess Sara and I sat at our very thrones when Cole came up to us.
"Are you ready to go?" he asks me.
"Yes," I reply.
"Wait," Zelda said, "go where?"
"I must complete my quest at some point in time, so I chose to hold the ball until tomorrow night. You must not worry, though, for I shall return, and I shall be present for the ball."
"At least take me alongside you."
"No. Not a chance," Cole interrupted, "You are to be kept safe within these walls."
"My, my this is a tough choice currently at hand. I do want to keep you safe my dear princess, but I could use some assistance."
"Your majesty, she must not leave the safest place for her to be in. It may cause grief for the entire town if she were to die. That includes you." There was silence for a few moments before I finally made up my mind.
"Since there is only a prince and a princess to rule the kingdom - our job being the protection of the people - and she is willing, I would ask her to come alongside me in my quest. Chancellor Cole, you must not worry so much about our well-being. We shall protect each other."
"Very well, your majesty," he said, trying not to sound annoyed.
"Then take me alongside you," another strange voice said from the air. We all looked around until I found a floating ball of light with very thin, delicate, and invisible wings.
"A fairy?" I asked.
"I am Millie, your servant fairy. I shall travel where you do, in hopes of assisting you further in your quest." As I looked at the fairy, I notice that within the small ball of light was a figure dressed in an elegant, shoulder-less white dress. This surprised me.
"Nice to meet you, Millie. Come along, then. I was just on my way with Princess Zelda to complete the quest portrayed for me. As you can see, I have the Master Sword," I said, showing her the sword from its sheath, "but it doesn't have its power."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get a move-on." I could tell Millie couldn't wait to help me.
"Before we can, though, we must announce it, so the townspeople can act accordingly." I then had the guards call everyone to the center of town. I then told the town about my departure.
"Who will be in charge until you get back?" someone asked.
"Well, it is a tough decision to make, but my choice is going to be-" I didn't have an answer.
"Leave Cole in charge," Millie whispered.
"I shall tell you in just a moment." I backed away to talk to Millie. "Why?"
"Trust me. Everything will work out in the end."
"Okay," I said, reluctantly. I stepped back to the crowd. "I have chosen a leader for until I come back. That leader's name is one Chancellor Cole."
"Me, sir?" he asked.
"Yes. I feel that as of now you have deemed yourself worthy enough to rule until our arrival."
"What?!" everyone in the crowd exclaimed.
"I guess I forgot to tell you. Both the princess AND I are leaving, so Chancellor Cole is the next to take the throne."
"Understood, your majesty." With that, I walked the princess out to the train, Millie floating alongside.
As we were traveling along our first curve, a sudden voice comes out and says:
"Hi there." A few of us jump. Of course I could hear what was going on in the cab cars. "I didn't get to introduce myself properly earlier, so I shall now. You may call me Alfonzo." Well, I guess extra help is a good thing, I said to myself, so I kept going.
