Secrets of Hyrule
Ch. 5

After they had eaten lunch, they sat by the creek in silence.

Ganon Finally spoke. “You know, no one but me knows of this place.”

Link looked at him silently listening to him.

“I have been coming here since I was little to get away from everyone. It’s my secret place and I swore that the day I found that special someone, then I would share it with her…” He was silent in thought.

She smiled and blushed. “That’s very sweet, thank you for sharing it with me.”

Ganon smiled back and kissed her gently on the lips. “You’re very welcome sweetheart.”

She smiled even bigger. She felt so happy. They sat there hugging every now and then. It was late in the evening now and it would be getting dark in an hour or so. Ganon had been thinking of something ever since they arrived there in the oasis and now he figured he’d best tell Link while they could be alone.

“Link.” Ganon began.

She looked at him.

He took a deep sigh. “The king of Hyrule is having a ball in a few days in my honor for signing the new treaty and………..I was….. Wondering if you would like to go with me.” He looked at her waiting for her response.

She was surprised. She had never been to a ball before much less worn a dress. She bit her bottom lip and then stared at the creek thinking. Ganon waited patiently. Truth be told it scared her to death about going because she would be found out and so far only Ganon knew of the secret. She then imagined herself in a beautiful dress dancing with Ganon. She blushed at the thought. She wanted to go badly -but what about the secret?-

She looked at him. “I would love to go, but what about the fact that no one is supposed to know I’m a girl.” She said deep in thought.

Ganon nodded. “Yes I have considered that, but I have also decided that I will find out why no one is allowed to know about you and who that lady was, but…” he pulled a blade grass from the ground and was playing with it now. “I wasn’t going to do it until I was sure it was alright with you.”

She looked away and thought about it for a moment. She thought of how nice it would be to finally know who that lady was and maybe where she came from. Most of her life, she was alone until now. Also she found herself thinking of herself in a dress again with Ganon by her side. She blushed again.

She looked at him with a smile. “I would like that very much! I will go to the ball with you and yes, I would like to know where I came from.”

Ganon then threw away the piece of grass and kissed her hand. “I promise to never leave your side.”

He then stood taking both her hands in his and helped her to stand. “It is getting late, come, I need to get you home.”

So they left the desert with Link seated on the horse in front of himself. When they reached the Inn. Ganon got off his horse and then lifted Link gently off the horse and gently set her feet on the ground. Link stood there smiling up at him. Ganon then reached into his pouch on his horse and handed her a leather wallet that had several rupees in it and took her hand in his.

He then placed the pouch in her hand. “I would like you to take this money and buy you some proper food and whatever else you may like or need.”

Link had never seen so many rupees before. It was so sweet of him to care enough to do this for her. She blushed.

She nodded and tied the pouch to her belt. “Thank you.”

As she tied the pouch to her side. Ganon had pulled out something else from his satchel. He then took Link’s left hand and placed a ring on her finger that seemed to big to fit her finger but before her eyes, it magically made itself fit her finger perfectly.

She let out a gasp. “Wha…. What’s this?” She said looking at him.

Ganon then caressed her cheek. “A promise ……. to you that I will always be here for you. It was my mother’s ring. I want you to have it.”

Link nodded and tears started forming in her eyes. She had never owned any jewelry besides the small hoop earrings she wore.

Ganon placed both his hands on her cheeks making her look at him and looked into her eyes. “This ring is also a magical ring. It will lead you to where you need it to lead you, whether it be to safety, or to our secret place or to even find me… all you have to do is ask the ring.”

She nodded. Gannon then kissed her softly on the lips. The place was deserted now so no one was around to see them together. She loved his sweet kisses and blushed furiously as they kissed. She had also forgot to breathe.

He wiped away her tears. “ I know you are happy right now and I hate to leave you but I must. I promise I will be back to see you in a few days, if not sooner.”

She nodded.

“Also there will be a few Garudo ladies I will send here to see you tomorrow. They will measure you so they will be able to make you a dress for the ball.” He told her giving her a kiss on her forehead.

Ganon then Gave her one more sweet kiss on the Lips and got back on his horse and left for the castle.

Link watched as he rode away and then she headed for bar nearby to buy some dinner. All that kissing made her hungry.

MEANWHILE

Ganon arrived at the castle and put his horse in the stable for the night and proceeded into the castle to his room. He had been gone all day and he would have been tired except he could not stop thinking of Link.

He had finally made it to the floor his room was on. Zelda stepped out of her room before he could get halfway to his room. He had almost made it.

“Hi Ganon!” Zelda said Happily.

“Good evening, Your highness.” Ganon said with a bow of his head.

“I haven’t seen you all day, have you just got in?” She asked smiling.

“Yes, I have been away to see my people and lost track of the time.” He said patiently though it irritated him that she was so nosy.

Zelda frowned. She knew from his response that he was not going to tell her the truth. “I had hoped we could do something together today, but you were already gone when I came to your room.”

Ganon sighed. “I have told you, your highness that I am not interested in you. Forgive me but I never will. I like you only as the princess of Hyrule and nothing more.”

Zelda looked furious. She had always got what she wanted even when she was little. It made her angry that Ganon, the Garudo King who was so handsome and had good breeding did not want her, who is destined to be queen. Before Zelda could say anything, Ganon had said goodnight to her though she wasn’t listening. He walked past her and headed to his room. Zelda went to her room and slammed the door shut. Before Ganon went into his room he whispered to his two Gerudo women that guarded his door. He gave them details of where Link stayed and explained the whole situation with Link and that it was to be a secret. Once he was finished, he went into his bedroom. Ganon Slept almost peacefully that night though he missed her very much.

BACK TO LINK

Link Examined her ring. As she sat laid on her bed that night. I glistened in the moonlight that shone in her window by her bed. It was the most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever seen. The band was made of gold and the jewel itself was oval shaped and blue. The band is thin on the bottom but becomes bigger near the Jewel. It had several engravings on the ring. On each side of the jewel were Garudo ladies sitting cross legged and holding up their hands with their palms facing up. There was also some letters going around the Jewel in a language she couldn’t read. She guessed it was Gerudo. She then rolled over and went to bed.

The next morning as Link had just awoke, sure enough the two ladies were there before the sun had rose. They did what they came to do pretty fast and they left in no time. Link went to work as usual that day. He did the usual work, like milk the cows, clean the barn, and so on.

Ganon on the other hand spent all his time in the records section of the castle all day long. He had been in there since morning. He could not find anything at all on Link. He had searched every record he could find in records that date back to about the time Link was born. He decided to retire for the night so he went down to the kitchen for some dinner. He hadn’t eaten all day.

He sat down at the kitchen table and Susan was still there. Susan walked over to him.

“Hello Ganon, What can I fix you tonight? We have some hot chicken pot pie.”

Ganon really wasn’t paying much attention to her for he was deep in thought and he felt a little frustrated because he had failed at finding anything on Link. The ball was only a few days away, the festival would be the day before the ball. He looked lost and disappointed. Susan could see that something was wrong.

She sat across from him. “What’s wrong?” She asked sincerely.

Ganon looked at her. Maybe he could ask her. After all she had almost told him the day he first met Link. He wasn’t really sure how to ask though and not be so blunt about it.

He let out a heavy sigh. “Well truth is, it’s about Link.” he looked serious as usual.

It took only a second and Susan caught on right away. “Oh my, so now you know huh?” She said it looking concerned.

Ganon was shocked. As far as he knew no one was supposed to know. Good thing no one else was in the kitchen besides Ganon and Susan.

Ganon sat quietly and before Ganon could speak, Susan spoke again. “I am sorry I did not tell you sooner. It’s a very long story if you would like to know that is.

FLASHBACK

It is around midnight at the Hyrule castle and it’s raining and storming outside. There are screams being heard throughout the castle. Susan hurries out of the queen’s room to fetch some hot water. One of the King’s Visors are in the hall.

He walks up to her. “Is it twins?” He asks her looking angry and worried.

Susan knew why he was asking this. They had a huge discussion about twins being born by the queen some nights before. The Visors had decided that if Twins were to be born, then they would be forced to kill one of the twins. They did not want to have to heirs to the thrown for they knew it would be an inconvenience to them. The Queen felt that she would have twins but never uttered a word of it to anyone but the midwives, for they were loyal to her only.

Susan looked worried. “No! She is having a difficult birth. Now release me so I may fetch some hot water!” She said and pulled roughly away from him and rushed to get more hot water.

About 2 hours had passed and the Queen’s screaming finally subsided after giving birth to two girl twins. Susan was horrified. The queen was exhausted and she pulled Susan to her. Susan was holding one of the babies in her arms and another midwife held the other.

The queen whispered to her, barely able to talk. “please…. Take this child…” She gently caressed the baby’s head that lay in Susan’s arms. “…Take this baby, to the great fairy,… tell her I have left this world and that my dying wish is for this child to be taken somewhere safe.” She then handed her the royal Ocarina.

Susan was horrified at this. “But your majesty!” she whispered.

The queen looked at her with sad eyes. “You know what will happen if you do not carry out these wishes, please… I beg of you. Take….the….secret…path….. To the….. Foun…tain…..”

Then the queen’s body went limp as she passed away. There was blood everywhere and it stung their nostrils. The midwives started to weep silently and Susan looked at the other 2 who looked at her. They had heard the queen’s last wishes. They both nodded at Susan. They too knew what would happen to the child if anyone knew she was a twin. She had been a midwife for many years and loved all children. She would not let them kill this precious child.

Susan took up a blanket that she had for the birthing that was not used and wrapped the child in it. She then quickly rush out a hidden exit in the room. She passed down many passages that no one but the King and Queen knew of. It was only used in emergencies. After 2 minutes or so going through the passages, she could see a light up ahead. Soon she had come to the fountain of the Great Fairy. She walked up to the fountain and set the Child gently down and took out the ocarina. She then played the Royal lullaby.

The great Fairy popped out of the fountain laughing. “Welcome, loyal servant of the queen. You worry about the child do you not? I know why you have come my child. I will honor the queen’s wishes and take this child to a safe place for her to live out her life.” She said smiling down at the child.

Susan didn’t know what to say, but she was bowing now.

“Come back here precisely eight years to this date at midnight.” She then lifted her arms in the air. “Here is a gift I will give you to call me eight years from now.”

A green circle of light surrounded Susan and a small ocarina appeared in her hand. It was green but had no special markings on it.

“I will take the child from here, I will put you back in the queen’s room from here so you do not get caught. The next thing Susan saw was a green light and she was suddenly next to the queen’s lifeless body. The midwives gasped silently. Turns out it seemed Susan was gone only for a few seconds.

After Susan was gone, the great fairy took the form of a Hylian woman who had pink hair and a long flowing blue dress. She wore jewelry in her hair neck and on her ears. She also wore a long black robe. She smiled as she picked up the child. She cuddled the crying baby. She the took the Child to the Great Deku tree, whom named her Link.

EIGHT YEARS LATER

The great fair took human form once more and retrieved the child. She took the child to the inn that day and over time taught Link to read and write and taught her to hide herself. The fairy told Susan what had happened that night eight years ago.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

“And I have been paying the Inn’s bill ever since.” Susan then sighed. “poor Link, it must have been hard on her.” She said as she rested her chin on a hand as her elbow rested on the table. “She is a princess you see, She is Zelda’s twin sister.”

Ok now I had to stop there because there are more stuff in the next chapter. Also I must note that I will add a little bit of the Gerudo language in this story and I’m sorry, I know they never mention it in the game but they do mention the Hylian writing so why can’t the Gerudos have their own. I read a story recently where this girl had used it in her story and people complained in reviews. I want to know what is so wrong with using it. iron dune dot com has the Gerudo language if you want to look at it. But if you do not want me to use any please let me know. I hope you still like the story even after the things I have done with it. Please review and let me know. Also I need help with Link’s dress!!! I don’t know what to do about that!! Help!!
