You will never be my king

though he recognizes her not, Sidon feels an ODD SENSATION, the likes of which he cannot find the words to describe. her hair glows so strangely && while her face is similar in terms of features to a Hylian, Sidon can tell very fast that she is NOT THAT. to add to the mystery, her voice is as odd as the feeling he has in her presence,  the Zora’s eyes widen only SOMEWHAT noticeably as the stranger speaks.

“ no, please, do not feel uneasy, ” he says, trying to assure her && if she is such, calm her. “ but, if i may inquire, who are you? you seem to be very unlike any other i’ve met in my life. from where do you hail, stranger? ”

          ❝ I am princess Midna of the Twili. I come from a realm that is the sister realm of Hyrule. Normally our gate’s are closed off from interaction but it seems that dark monster lurking around old runes have caused for our worlds to merge once more.❞

     A Zora was not something she had encountered before in this life. While being the reincarnate of the former princess of darkness that one fought along a hero of light. Memories of that past still fresh yet distant for her. As she had been taught from a young age who she had once been. Who she must once again become. 

There being a next time the ranch hand had no doubt. Climbing the tree again to get larvae or climbing a roof or even jumping over the pillars in the river to reach the hawk grass were common occurrences in the village. Those certainly weren’t the only ones as there were many more things he could get into that would likely cause Midna to fret over him for no real reason. He usually didn’t get hurt that badly a few scratches maybe a bruise. He had dealt with far worse during their adventure but knew it was just her showing that she cared. Something that hadn’t always existed between the two and had formed over the course of their travels together. 

Focusing on the task at hand was something that brought excitement to Link. Which in all reality was never that difficult to do as he was at times a very excitable person especially when it came to fishing. “Now all we have to do is wait. It might take a little while and you might not even catch anything that good at first. I’ve caught things that weren’t even fish sticks, bottles.” All of which Midna had witness before. “You mostly have to watch that bobber and you’ll feel the pull of it too. The fish will nibble at first but you have to reel it in at the right time. If you try to soon the fish will get away. It’s all about practice and getting a feel for it.”

        Whilst it was true their relationship had been a rocky one, it was clear the two now had become an inseparable duo. In the beginning, they both couldn't wait to get rid of the other. Counting down the minutes and days until their separation would become complete. It was close to hatred but now it had bloomed into a beautiful fruitful friendship. almost, teetering on the edge of becoming more than either of them had imagined. 

         After being locked out of her own realm by the spirits of light, due to the fact her body having been returned to the light instead of darkness, so much had changed. At first, all she was was darkness and despair. Grief over what she had lost when she fought so hard to go back and protect it. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined the people of Ordon would welcome and accept her the way they have. As an outside, she didn’t expect all the kindness given to her. Welcomed into their arms as a new family member. It was so... touching and sweet. 

           ❝  I see... Don’t I have to set the hook? If I remember correctly, you lightly yank at a hard nibble am I right? ❞

Sorry, Midna– but this is just something that happens.

No matters how many tens upon hundreds upon thousands of years pass, no matter how many Heroes come and go, this will come to pass:

Link will be a doof. He will be a doof who cuts grass with swords.

“…” Link took a moment to glance back to the facepalming princess, then to the brilliantly glowing blade in his hand, caught redhanded – or bluehanded, as the case may be. “…Alright, I won’t?”

And without further ado, there goes another bushel’s worth of grass, obliterated in a neat shear by the weapon much too powerful to be used for this kind of thing. Well, at least it wasn’t the Master Sword.

Yet.

        Honestly, he was an idiot in any life, wasn’t he? In one lifetime he was decorating his counters with random corn stashed in his shelves. Fishing like it was the greatest thing ever invented in the history of mankind. In this one, he was a half nude streaker that fishes with bombs, a- speaking of bombs. 

        That hand slowly dragged down her face to squint with those pretty ruby hues of her’s. Deep plum lips pressing together which really did little to level thick lips. 

      She sucked in a sharp breath, a hand slowly being brought close to her face to cover gem colored orbs. He was certainly different than the Link she once knew. No amount of memories being returned to him would ever change that. Still... sometimes the similarities were awfully embarrassing similar. 

       Full plum colored lip’s parted slowly as she gazed at the rather tall individual. Ruby eyes staring upwards, hand pressed against the curve of her hip as their gaze met. While she had no idea how she ended up in the world of light, she had a pretty good guess it was due to that large demonic creature circling around a ruined castle. Perhaps it’s presence was pulling apart the very fabric of reality around them.
