Out of nowhere a circle appeared floating in mid air, constantly changing colours, shimmering brightly.

Gasps of amazement came from the group and the monster as the portal changed and shimmered.

“Right so what now?” asked Luke

“We call for help?” Debbie suggested.

“Help!” Joe shouted again

The door between worlds flickered and suddenly an arrow flew out towards the monster. Before it had a chance to react the arrow flew straight between the eyes and out the other side. The monster fell, dead. A woman of great beauty came through the circle, she was wearing a long, subdued purple dress that fell over her feet. She wore golden shoulder plates and gold chain around her neck. A gold tiara with a blue gem set in the front of it, showed her royal status. Her long brown hair flowed down her back, her long ears pointing to the sky.(pointed and elegant)

“Who are you?” asked Katie.

“I am Princess Zelda.” the woman said regally. Zelda looked at each member of the group and turned to the portal and called down “I think this is the place.” Another woman came through the door. She was a beautiful woman with long blond hair and was wearing a short dress and an armour breastplate, she also had large beetle like wings. “I am the Queen of the Fairies.” She told the group. She knew what they were going to ask for she was able to read the minds of others. The two royals walked towards the group, Zelda then asked;

“Which of you called for help?”

“We all did Princess Zelda,” said Joe taking a step forward, and remembering she was a princess, bowed to her. The princess looked at Joe, then smiled and said to herself, “It has finally happened,”

The silence that followed really grated Andy’s nerves, “Look we’ve been though a lot today so can you explain a little bit more please, your highness,”

“Call me Zelda please. I shall tell you all you need to know. At the end all your questions shall be answered.”

“Seven years ago we learnt that our enemy, Ganondorf, who was sealed away in the evil realm, had found a way to reach to other worlds and spread his evil across them. Luckily we manage to stop him with our eight sages, but due to the evil realm we could only hold him for 7 years. So my husband and hero of our world, Link, chose to be sealed within the body of a person within this world which Ganondorf wishes to attack, by the power of the sages) And for 7 years he has been sealed in that person. We now have to find that person and release my husband to save all of the worlds.”

Once Zelda had finished her story the group looked at each other in shock of realising that there were worlds in which magic and such things existed.

“The sages made sure that the person that my husband’s spirit was sealed into would be near the door between worlds when it opened,” 

“So it must be one of the present men here,” the Queen of Fairies stated. Luke, Andy, Ryan and Joe looked at each other wondering which was the one housing a hero.

“The one who Link was sealed into shall have... a sort of sign upon him,” The Queen said as she flittered towards Luke, grabbed his face with one hand and started to turn his face, surveying, looking for something, “No not this one,” she told Zelda, letting go of Luke’s face

 “You hurt,” Luke said rubbing his face

“Thank you,” she said before moving one to Ryan whilst Zelda was looking for signs of the hero in Andy.  Neither Ryan nor Andy showed anything that would reveal that Link’s spirit was within them. Joe came forward, Zelda gasped when she saw his face.

“Y...your eyes!”

“What!”

“They’re Link’s eyes,”

Joe could see the tears starting to fall down Zelda’s cheeks,

“Well does that mean your husband’s spirit is in me?”  Zelda look into Joe’s eyes, smiled and told him “Yes,”

“I’ll go get him,” the Queen said before flying back through the door

“What does she mean, I’ll go get him?”

“Link. She going to get Link,”

The Queen came back, pulling something along. A small bed, with a body upon it.

“This is Link,”

The group looked over to see him. He was dressed in a green of fields’ tunic, a chain mail underneath it, beige trousers and boots. His face was handsome but his open eyes were blank, no pupils, no colour, just a blank white space.

 Zelda stared at Link’s dead eyes, mouth curving down into a saddened line before she pulled away suddenly.

“His eyes are... kind of creepy,” Rachel said quietly so only Luke who was next to her could here.

“How do we ...err get Link’s spirit from my body back to Link’s?”

“Sorry, but like this,” Zelda pulled a hidden knife out of its sheath and stabbed Joe with it. The group gasped and stared in horror at the scene before them. But Joe wasn’t feeling pain or death, but he was feeling that his world had torn apart.

Joe began glowing with a white light and a blinding flash took them all by surprise. They saw Joe fall to the floor, and someone jump up off the table. Once it had ended Joe was lying on the floor, bleeding badly but standing beside him was, the hero of time… Link. The princess stared, eyes wide as she watched the revived hero stretch and yawn, as if had done nothing more than had a long nap. The man looked up, deep blue eyes catching hers, understanding and sorrow filling the ocean-like depths and he tentatively gave her a pained smile.

Zelda ran to him and they embraced each other with a passionate kiss. Arms tangling in her and wrapping about each other’s lean forms and. Link pulled away whispering words of affection and comfort, nuzzling against her and grinning in relief as he hands ghosted through his hair. She smiled back, kissing the tip of his nose, a single crystalline tear sliding down a porcelain cheek.

They were happy to be in one other’s arms again as Link held Zelda close to him.

Tears once more ran down her face. They only had one, single month of marriage and seven years of forced separation. For the worlds’ own good. Only his sleeping but lifeless body had been left.

“Link, I missed you so much. I love you.”

“Zelda, I love you so much.”
