[ Z i D a N E ]



The little blonde sat at the throne. She glanced over from her left then to her right.
Nothing.
She sighed. She stood up. Her knee-length dress flopping as her caplet, embroidered with jewels, bounced from her left. Her short hair ruffled as she took of the crown. Her expressionless face glancing from her sides.

"Hm. Once She gets home I'll lose all my chances of permanently ruling this place."

She looked out the window. The beautiful Hyrule reached outwards. She smiled softly.

"She should be home soon."

"Hey Zidane."

"Zelda."

The blonde turned and saw her sister. That brunette that was to rule Hyrule once the Kind dies. But Zidane felt someone's presence.

"Who is there?" she asked her sister curiously.

"Me and my brother." The Legendary Hero of Time came out of the door from the left.

Zidane nodded. She sighed and went into the corridor. She suddenly felt a twinge. She twitched and fell to the ground. Zelda came out and saw her paralyzed sister on the ground. She had Link carry Zidane to the brunette's room. Zelda checked her sister worriedly. Once she reached her left hand, she gasped.

"L-Link.. Come over here." She motioned the blonde to come

"Wha-- No." He looked over to Zelda, "You're kidding, right?"

"Kidding about what, Onii-san?" Link's little brother asked.

"Ludwig, not now."

"But Onii-san, I could he--"

"Ludwig!"

"Link! Let him do so."

Link gave up and let Ludwig pass. Ludwig breathed in. He hovered his right hand over Zidane's paralyzed body. He huffed. He concentrated as he closed his eyes.

Almost...

Ludwig's right hand glowed a pale aura and spread over the girl's body. Zidane's hair ruffled a bit, and rested on her shoulders. Ludwig breathed deeply before backing up. He looked at Zelda and Link.

"I'm done." he smirked and left the room.

Zidane fluttered her eyes open. She forced herself up on the bed. She looked to her side to see Zelda on the terrace, talking to Link. She focused on the two until she could hear their conversation clearly.

"I'm telling you, Zelda. That boy can't have powers like that."

"Link, don't think that way of your brother!"

"Zelda, we both know he isn't my brother." Link said looking to his side, " He's just a kid. Remember?"

"Link!" Zelda shouted. She looked at Zidane, hoping she didn't wake up.

"Z-Zidane!" she stammered. Zidane nodded and got out of the bed.

The blonde put on her sandals and went to the palace garden. She hoped her favorite flower, the one she made as remembrance of her parents, would bloom today. She was surprised to see someone else in the garden.

Ludwig.

Ludwig turned around after picking a rose. Zidane placed her hands at her back and walked slowly to the boy. Ludwig smiled a bit, hoping to get a reaction. Zidane laughed at his action. Ludwig took Zidane's hand, making her blush and motioned her to sit on the bench with him.

"I-is it true, that you were found at Lake Hylia, Lui?"

"I don't know. But that's what Onii-san says." replied the raven-haired boy, still holding the rose.

"Oh. Ok."

There was a silence for a long while. Minutes passed but it felt like hours. Desperate to break the silence, Ludwig opened his mouth.

"Hey, Zidane, wanna go outside to the Market?"

"Sure!"

As the twosome go out for the fun of playing with the other children, Zelda and Link eyes them suspiciously. They turn to each other and follow the two.

"Hey! It's Zidane!" some kids shout over the streets.

"Zidane! How are you?"

"Darine! I'm great." Zidane smiled happily, " Darine, this is my friend, Ludwig."

"Hey."

"Hi~!" Darine replied.

But the happiness stopped when the sound of clashing was heard by the kids. They turned around to see Gerudo Thieves attacking the guards.

"Where is the girl?!" The leader growled

"What girl?!"

"The one with the TriForce of Power, you useless lad!" she turned to her side and saw Zidane's left hand, "You!"

The Gerudo Thief walked slowly to Zidane, sheathing her swords. Zidane backed up by one step, Ludwig preparing his magic. But surprisingly, the thief did not attack her, but bow down to her.

"H-huh?" Zidane questioned, "Aren't you supposed to attack me? Hurt me? Anything?"

"Why would we do that to our next leader?"

"L-leader?!" Darine, Zidane and Ludwig shouted


[ I had to do this. It was practically stuck in my mind. ]
