"The Fabric of Time", part I, EpilogueThe Legend of Zelda: The Fabric of TimeBy: The Destined HeroEpilogue A week later, all of Hyrule attended a double funeral. The Sages were all there, thanks to the efforts by Link and his friends. After some of the Sages spoke, there was no doubt in the public's mind that Link had once again averted danger. The public was kept mostly in the dark about the whole incident, but they did now that two Hylians were killed by something evil. A great young man, Sir Richard, had given his life to save Link's. And another mysterious man, Ian, was killed while combating the evil. Ian was being buried with a noble status by order of Link. For some reason, he felt that he was a good man, but he was just pulled to evil by Ganondorf. After the funeral, Link, Nick, William, Aaron, and Charles stood outside the castle. "Well, I'm glad that's over," Charles said. Aaron nodded. "Yeah, that whole situation was just horrible." "I had grown quite fond of Richard. He saved my life." William added. "He saved mine twice." Link had felt it was his fault Richard died. He wasn't able to stop Ganondorf from killing him. "Hey, it's not your fault, Link," Nick tried to console him. "He didn't die in vain. You were able to stop Ganondorf and we got the Sages and Zelda back." "You're right, Nick. I guess I feel responsible." Charles walked over to Link. "You've got to put it behind you. He is with the Goddesses now." "I just can't help thinking that Ganondorf will attack again. And next time, he will be more powerful." "Don't worry, my friend," came a familiar voice. Link turned to see that it was Sir Robert of Larosia. "Finally, made it, huh?" Link replied to his old friend. "Yes, and you needn't worry about danger. For now I am here and that evil man will stay clear of here!" "I say we be on our feet for an attack at any moment," Aaron said seriously. "Yeah, yeah, but we don't need to worry about that for a while," Nick said. "But I think it would be best if we could get the aid of Malaank, Larosia, and Dellenia." Aaron smiled. "Ah, no problem there! We would defend Hyrule like it was our own country." William nodded his agreement. "And I for one would like to avenge the death of Richard. I owe him." Link looked around at each one of his friends and felt great joy. He had to be the luckiest man in all of Hyrule, even the world. Here he had friends who were willing to fight alongside him, as well as bringing their armies to his aid. A small smile appeared across his face. As he looked over the horizon, he noticed two figures that meant the world to him. On top of the hill, Evan began to run toward his father, Zelda walking behind. The boy jumped into the air, into Link's awaiting arms, and gave him a big hug. Zelda stopped in front of him. "My Hero," she said with a look of love in her eyes. "You came to rescue me. again. How will I ever repay you?" She smiled and winked at Link. "Knowing you're safe is enough, but if you want." he said suggestively, with a lustful look on his face. He leaned forward, with Evan still in his arms, and kissed his wife. Behind him, he could here the calls of his friends. They were teasing him and making lovey-dovey noises while laughing heartily. Link turned to face them. "I would think that you guys would be a little more mature than that!" "Ha. Yeah, right!" called back Nick while laughing harder. Link and Zelda smiled and walked over to the hysterical knights. He truly was a lucky man. He wished this would never end. The group began to walk back toward the castle when they heard the beating of hooves on the ground behind them. Each turned around, with smiles still on their faces. But when they saw the messenger, their smiles quickly disappeared. The messenger didn't have to say a word, they all understood. Ganondorf had attacked.
