Princess Zelda and her Dragon Knight

Fic name(s): Princess and the Dragon

Summary: They thought it was the hero who had defeated the dragon, vanquished evil, and saved the princess. They were wrong. It was the princess who saved the dragon. Volga x Zelda

Author’s Notes: A different take on the events leading up to Hyrule Warriors. I’ll likely be “rewriting” some of the scenes during Hyrule Warriors as well to adjust to what I build up for the characters. I honestly didn’t plan to have a large story, but my bundle of rough drafts for various chapters might say differently. We’ll see what happens. For now, I hope you can enjoy the premise behind this obscure pairing, as I’ve grown very fond of them.

You can find the continued chapters on either one of these links, though keep in mind that Fanfiction.net will be updated before Deviantart when I post a new chapter.

Chapter 1: Curse

Some may have heard the tale of the peasant woman who fell in love with a prince cursed in the form of a beast. Stories like those would not be the one Hylian parents would read to their child before their bedtime. Whether they worried about the implications of such an intimacy, or they simply feared the unknown - most could not fathom the concept of blind love for beings they associated terror and hatred with.

The reoccurring wars that plagued their lands was a more contributing factor. Their enemies could be regarded as “beasts” may that be because of their obvious non-human race, or by their atrocities. Countless lives were lost under the malice and cruelty of their foes, the thought of mercy never even crossing their minds in their thirst for power. These were the stories passed down through the ages, history taking priority over a seemingly impossible fairy tale.

Families wanted to tell their children something they were comfortable with, something they could foster their hope for. A hero worthy of being retold multiple times; whether as a poor farmer, or a charming prince - he would be the one they all looked up to. He would be the one to slay the dragon, final villain or otherwise. He would be the one to save the princess, and win her heart. This was what everyone wanted to hear, because it was what they were used to.

No one would ever know if the hero truly did win her heart, or why the dragon suffered. The pages would have been tailored to the tradition of the majority. Not to the few, if any, who would be intrigued by controversy, of unlikely friendships and untold romances. As such, these stories were rare, their dusty tomes hidden, and likely forgotten over time… like the very ones within this tale.
