му нєяσιиє (Prince!Link x Hero!Reader)

ᴇᴘɪʟᴏɢᴜᴇ: (ʏ/ɴ), ᴛʜᴇ ᴋɴɪɢʜᴛ ᴏғ ʜʏʀᴜʟᴇ

Hey ladies! Its been a bit! Sooo here's the deal (please read before you go on, its important). As I have said, I wanted to release the epilogue chapter with all of the endings so you all could just jump right into your happily ever after. I've been working very hard, these endings are getting long, and I'm actually almost completely done with one of them. However, I have had the epilogue chapter finished for almost three weeks now, and because of this time dilemma, I feel bad leaving a finished chapter off so I can finish these endings. So, for now, I decided to give you guys a little early present and deliver the epilogue early! I hope this will hold you guys until the endings are complete. I'm working on getting those done, I swear, please don't be mad. ;-; Anyway, thank you all so much for your patience and support, and I love each and every one of you! Now, I hope you enjoy the final chapter before your arriving chosen ending. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A week had passed since the end of your adventure. The people who went into hiding had returned to the surface to rejoice in your success. Regions all-around had quickly gotten the news and celebrated your win, your friends very proud of your feats. Repairs were already beginning in the towns across, as well as the castle’s upper levels. Fortunately, most of it was easily fixed within a few days. Only the upper levels and dungeons needed serious repairs. The castle staff was all over Link after his rescue, asking dozens of questions a minute to get a better insight into what happened and if he was alright. The King and Queen were trying to repair the morals of their people by ensuring their safety and telling them what happened. Knights were constantly apologizing to the Royal Family for doing a poor job of protecting Link, and for treating you badly when you had arrived. Link was still trying to get over everything that had happened, but each day proved to be progressive. With your help, of course, he was slowly growing to adjust. You even got word that your own village remained untouched throughout the whole ordeal. A massive weight off of your shoulders.

As for you?

You were now in the newly repaired castle gardens, carefully placing freshly picked daisy-and-nightshade-strung rings down onto large flat stones set in the center of a white granite rotunda. A linear pattern of stone slates that you had personally requested after some of the staff asked you if there was any way they could repay you. An odd request to them, but they did so. Only you went near it, as you were the only one who knew the purpose of them. This was your tribute to those who had passed on in your adventure. 

The two Gorons Darunia lost were represented by the largest stones, close together in the middle so their brotherhood would be remembered. The fallen escapee from Castle Town positioned closest toward the castle, to show just how hard they had tried to find safety. All three of those had been decorated with one ring of flowers on top each, which you had crafted when you had the chance. There was one more stone, but you didn’t have a ring for it. You had something else.

The last stone, the darkest shade of stone out of the others, on the opposite side of the rest was your designated placement of Ghirahim. You walked over and knelt beside it, digging in the pouch strapped to your leg. 

“Hey, Ghirahim,” You say with a small smile as you pull out a tiny brown drawstring bag. “I’m sorry I'm late. I had to speak to some of the curious trainees again.” You carefully pull open the bag and stick your hand inside. "I found something for you. While I was helping to clean out the sanctum today." You remove your hand to reveal a large, slightly cracked blue diamond earring in your palm. You place it on top of the stone, the sunlight making it shimmer just slightly. "I figured you would like it back. You wore it all the time, so maybe you had an attachment to it." You let yourself chuckle a little as you get on your bottom to properly sit, bringing your knees to your chest. You rest your chin on top of them, glancing at the stone.
