Zeruda on her ship was awaken and the Deku Knight said,
“We are headed into port.”
She got up and checked her hair in a mirror. She wondered what had become of Daku, Ditir, and Rinku, who she had not seen. The very thought of reuniting with The Hero of Time had made her uneasy, and she was relieved to be spared his rejection. Then there was Daku, the man she loved, and who when things escalated wanted to sail off and not face the threat looming. In was in that moment a distinction had formed between man she hsd loved, Rinku and Daku. The Hero would never have shirked from the obligation. Well at least that had been how he was in the past, since learning of her family’s skeletons in the Shadow Temple, he had changed. The Princess was beginning to face the reality that neither Daku or Rinku was the hero she needed in this hour. And it mace her feel confused, conflicted, and concerned. Hyrule was being harrowed by cosmic forces, there had been The Shogun, Zant, and now the whispers of a Nameless Evil. One that had plagued Hyrule n eons past. She began to wondered if peace was a dream, and that she was destined to watch her people suffer and suffer..
Coming up to deck she saw the horizon and the land of her fathers. She shed a single tear. It seemed a life time since she was last on Hylian Realm and when the ramp went down the shadowy figure from the night before helped her down.
“You still have no told me who you are.” Said The Princess.
The Great Towering Being scoffed,
“You already know my name..”
Zeruda eyed him,
“I do not..”
He paused in his stride as she did,
“I shall introduce myself when we reach your castle..”
A carriage was brought with white blossoms affixed to it. She stepped inside as he got up and whipped the reins.
The rolled over the green countryside, she saw kids at play as if no calamity awaited. They camw to Kokokiri where the town was busy with market day, and then to the castle where guards came ans The Sage of Light approached. Zeruda stepped out and gave The Friar a hug.
“My dear Zeruda! Thank the Godesses you are alright! We have had renja (rangera) hunting for you all over!”
Zeruda smiled, The Titan Wraith stepped down making the entire carriage shake. The Sage looked at the Man, “who is he?”
Zeruda turned,
“My guest.. Sir.. please join us in the Throne Room.”
They entered and there Zeruda walked a pink carpet laid put especially for her, The Sage standing by. The Titan taking his green fingers and removed his hood to reveal a matching emerald nose, short spiked hair, and medallion on his forehead that shinmered.
Zeruda turned and steppes back with her hand over her mouth,
“Ganon…”
