Hyrule and it's Warrior

Chapter eight: Duties come first

Zelda awoke in a pair of strong arms, Link. She looked around, remembering what had happened. Zelda blushed a deep red. Zelda tried to wiggle out of his grip, it was successful. She stretched, grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower. Once she finished she got dressed and fixed her hair. As she stepped back into her room she saw Link sitting up.

"Good morning." Zelda smiled as he looked at her,

"Morning." Link winked to her. She stepped away from the door and say back down beside Link, he pecked her cheek.

"Is it alright if I use the shower?" Zelda nodded,

"Go ahead, there's some fresh towels in there." Zelda smiled as he nodded and left for the shower. Zelda just fell back onto the bed and let out a sigh. Everything seems to good to be true. But today it was time to get stuff done. Her plans for today were to grab some well trained knights and go out into Hyrule field and maybe discover where all of these hoards are coming from. Zelda raised her arm and tossed it over her face so it gently laid there, covering her eyes.

"I really don't want to do this..." She spoke quietly to herself. Zelda was still fearful as to what may happen if she leaves, but she must.

"I'll be with Link, so that should be better... But no one knows about this, no one can know!" Zelda groaned,

"Why do things have to be so complicated." Zelda stayed on her bed, in the same position, as she listened to the water running in the next room. Zelda sat up as the water stopped, she grabbed her crown and sat in front of a mirror. She slowly placed it on her head as Link walked out of the room, clothed a towel on his head. Zelda rested her crown in the perfect position and sighed, her head now in her hands.

"Zel? Everything okay?" She didn't look at him, she slowly shook her head. Link walked over to her.

"What is our world coming to, Link? Why must we sacrifice ourselves?" Link opened his mouth to say something, nothing came out.

"How long will we have to do this? It's already been going on for months!" She wasn't aggressive with her voice, it was sadness. Link placed a hand on her shoulder,

"Give me your hand." Zelda looked at him, slightly confused. She placed her left hand in his, considering that he was on her left she just assumed.

"No, the other one." Zelda was more confused, why the right? As she placed her right hand in his left hand she saw a shimmer,

"The triforce?" Link flipped his hand to show his as well,

"The triforce of Courage and Wisdom, but no power." Zelda looked at him,

"This is our curse, Zelda. Our ancestors were cursed with this same fate. Unfortunately we have no idea where the last piece actually is, they did. That's why these things keep attacking, they know we can't do anything. We know what we have to do because we have been chosen by the Goddesses." Zelda looked back down to their hands, he's right. Everything was coming back into view. Zelda have him a nod,

"Then I can't let my people down." Link smiled,

"There's my girl." Zelda looked up and gave him a grin as she stole a kiss from him before standing up.

"I guess we should get to work then." Link nodded. Zelda walked out of her door first, looking around,

"It's clear, Link." Link quickly rushed out and walked beside Zelda. If anyone saw them together within the castle their excuse would be, Link just came to give Zelda a early morning wake up. The both silently walked down into the courtyard where all of the Knights stood and waited. Link went the opposite way of Zelda to go stand with the knights. There she stood, in front of everyone.

"Today, I will be taking the few best soldiers out with me into Hyrule field. We must discover and find out what or who is attacking us, and why." Zelda's voice projected through the air.

"We must find this source and destroy it!" At that everyone cheered, raising their arms, clapping or just yelling out, they all cheered. Link smiled as he clapped. Zelda met with his gaze and she smiled brightly.

"I have already chosen the ones who will assist me. Please, can you step forward to show your bravery and honour." Out of many soldiers about twenty or thirty people stepped forward, including Link and Impa.

"I will also be joining you. Now, let us depart and go out into Hyrule to finally end this!" As the crowed burst into cheers yet again Zelda spoke under her breath,

"Hopefully end this..."
