        Meta Knight was again rushing and struggling to get inside of the castle of Hyrule.  He forgot to bring a proof as a messenger of Princess Peach. 

"This is urgent! I must report to Princess Zelda. Allow me to see her!" Meta Knight shouted.

The guards attacked Meta Knight all at once as they saw his somewhat aggressive behaviour. Meta Knight easily got through them all, running up the staircase. 

"Your Highness, if I may interrupt, there is a visitor." Lucario sensed the presence that was coming and informed Zelda.

"Who?" Right when she asked, the room's door opened, making a loud noise.

"I must talk to Princess Zelda." Meta Knight said. He did not look so safe with the sword in his hand. 

"If you cause any harm to the princess you will never see home again." Lucario threatened as he positioned himself to defend Zelda. There was a strong aura raging from Lucario.

The guards caught up and immediately surrounded Meta Knight. 

"Stay down." Zelda ordered the guards.

"But your Highness!" Lucario shouted.

"No Lucario, allow him to speak." Zelda told Lucario politely with a smile and Lucario's raging aura had disappeared instantly.

"Thank you Princess Zelda. I must inform you that my ship Halberd was stolen last night and it could be in the hands of people with malice. I reported the incident to Princess Peach and she sent me here to warn you.

My ship is enormous and powerful. And I certainly do not have a good feeling about this." Meta Knight spoke up. 

There was a moment of silence before Zelda replied. "Thank you for coming all the way from the Mushroom Kingdom. I will send some guards if you are going to search for the ship." She was calm but seemed to be sinking into her thoughts.

Meta Knight thanked the princess and left the room.

"Lucario, you must prepare. Help Meta Knight and search for the ship." Zelda told Lucario.

"Your Highness, if I left, who will be here to protect you?" Lucario questioned the princess, almost helplessly.

"I will be fine. I am no longer a little girl and I can fight. Also I will call Link to stay in the castle for safety. You can trust him." yet again Zelda gave Lucario a calming, warm smile. Lucario could not fight back. He could only hope that Link would protect the princess. 

Link's POV

A messenger came by my house to inform me of the situation and that Princess Zelda needed me to go to the castle. 

Zelda. I had known her since we were little and we were close friends. I had always wished that I meant more than that to her, but I could not quite confess the truth because of her position as a princess and my position as a.... An ordinary man. 

I quickly grabbed my sword and headed out to the castle. I hope that I fight neither today nor tomorrow. Hyrule has been peaceful after that day I defeated Ganondorf, and it must stay that way.
