• The Game
    Marth and Zelda sat down at the table and began to discuss the treaty.

    "I think we should get rid of the old wall between our lands." said Zelda as she looked up at Marth into his eyes then looked away blushing slightly. Marth nodded in agreement with her.

    "And maybe to show how much we trust each other my friends and I could stay here in Hyrule for a week then when we leave you come stay in our land for a week. How's that sound to you?" Marth suggested to her.

    "Good idea." she said as she began to write their ideas down on the piece of paper she had.

    Ike and Roy sat waiting for Marth to get done, and to pass the time Roy and Impa played a game of chess, and of course Impa was winning. Ike was behind Roy watching and Mizuki was behind Impa also watching but every now and then look at Roy but then look quickly down. A couple of minutes passed and Impa had won the game.

    "Hey! You cheated!" Roy said as he threw the chess board game on the wall.

    "OK how could i cheat in chess? And now you owe my 10000 Rupees." Impa replied as she gave him a little smirk.

    "I don't know how you cheated but you did!" Roy shouted at her as his eye began to twitch a bit, "And I'm not paying you!" Roy said as he began to pout.

    "Roy give her the money you owe her." Ike said as kindly as he could which was very difficult for him to be nice to Roy. Impa's eye twitched.

    "OK I didn't cheat kid and you owe me money so hand it over or I will use force." Impa said to Roy.

    "Um Impa I don't think Princess Zelda would like us to fight-"

    "Then take the money by force I dare you!"Roy said as he cut Mizuki off from finishing her sentence.

    "Fine." Impa replied as she prepared to use her shadow magic and Roy unsheathed his sword. Ike grabbed Mizuki and ran to a safe place. Roy lunged at Impa and Impa blocked using shadows.

    An hour passed that Marth and Zelda had worked on the peace treaty and they finally finished. Zelda laughed a little.

    "We're finally done at last." she said as she put the pen down that she was writing with and leaned back in the chair she was sitting in.

    "Ya finally." Marth said as he fixed his eyes on Zelda. Zelda noticed this.

    "What is there something on me?" she asked him as she began to look at herself searching for anything that shouldn't be there.

    "No it's not that." Marth replied as he looked away. They heard an explosion outside the door.

    "What was that?" they both said in unison.

    Marth and Zelda ran out of the room to find Roy and Impa fighting and Ike and Mizuki in a safe place.

    "Roy what are you doing we're trying o make peace with them not start a war!" Marth exclaimed at him but was not heard because of all the explosions. Zelda ran up to her study and grabbed her spell book and ran back to where the fight was. Zelda read the spell and her hand glowed and Roy were lifted into the air and were struggling to get down.

    "Impa I expected better from you." Zelda said as she shot her a look. When Roy and Impa calmed down Zelda put them down gently. Marth grabbed Roy and pulled him in some random room.

    "What were you thinking?" Marth asked Roy.

    "She cheated in a game of chess and he expected me to pay her." Roy said angrily.

    "How can you cheat in chess? Chess is about mental power not strength." Marth replied.

    "I don't know how she did it but she did." Roy said as he crossed his arms.

    "How much do you owe her?" Marth asked him having a feeling it was a lot.

    "10000 Rupees." Roy replied scratched the back of his head and looked down. Marth's eye twitched a couple of times.

    "10000 Rupees?" he asked making sure he heard him correctly.

    "Ya." Roy said not looking at him. Marth sighed then reached into his pocket an pulled out 10000 rupees and handed them over to Roy.

    "Marth I have my own money I can pay for it." Roy said as he reached for his money. As Roy reached into his his pouch him and Marth heard a scream. "What the!" said both Roy and Marth in unison.

    When Marth and Roy got back to the others and found everyone unconscious on the floor. Marth and Roy ran up to them to see if they had any serious injuries but they were just knocked out by a blast. As they got closer them started to wake up. Roy ran over to Ike and Mizuki cause Ike was holding her, and Marth went over to Zelda. Zelda got a scared look on her face.

    "Where's Impa?" Zelda asked them. They froze where they were. Tears began to form in Zelda's eyes as she began to run in the direction of the creature went. Marth chased after her.

    "Princess!" Marth yelled as he began to catch up with her. Zelda completely ignored him and she just kept on running. Marth grabbed her and she struggled to get away from him but did not succeed. He turned her around to face him but he still held on to her arms.

    "Zelda, I'm sorry about Impa but there's nothing we can do for her now we should go back to the others and try to figure out why they would go after Impa." he said as he began to release Zelda from his hold.

    "Right." Zelda replied as the tears in her eyes began to roll down her face. Marth and Zelda walked back to the palace in silence Zelda wasn't looking at any thing but the ground and Marth was worried about her so he would glance at her every now and then.

    "So I guess you and Lady Impa are close." Marth said as he looked away from her.

    "We are. You see when my mother died my father wasn't around to comfort me because he was in another country making a peace treaty with them. Impa was there for me when no one else was. Then when we were betrayed by Gannondorf if it wasn't for Impa I wouldn't be here right now she has done so much for me and my people and now she's gone just like my mother and father." Zelda explained to Marth as the tears started to roll down her face again. Marth just stared at her now, he wanted to comfort her but he didn't know what to say and he didn't want to offend her.

    Back at the palace Roy, Ike, and Mizuki waited for Marth and Zelda to return. Mizuki's arm was burnt so Roy went over to put medicine on it and to bandage it up. As he wrapped the cloth around her arm Mizuki was just staring blankly where Marth and Zelda had disappeared. Roy looked up at her then back down at her wound.

    "They'll be back soon, don't worry." Roy said to her when he saw her expression.

    "I know they'll return I'm just worried about how Zelda feels about Impa being gone and all." Mizuki replied. Roy started to put the medicine on her burn she pulled her arm away from him, "Ouch! That burns!" she exclaimed, Roy looked at her annoyed.

    "Just give me your arm." he said reaching for her arm.

    "No." she said as she pulled her arm out of his reach.

    "Give me your arm so I can put this medicine on it or do you want your arm stay like that?" Roy said as he put his hand out for her to lay her arm on it. Mizuki hesitated for a moment then put her arm on his hand.

    "Good now as you felt there will be a little sting but it won't sting very long." Roy said as he began to wrap her arm up again in the cloth and medicine, Mizuki winced from the sting and tried to pull her arm away from him, but failed for he was holding onto her arm tightly. Mizuki tried to get her arm away from him again, but Roy pulled back at her arm and she winced even more.

    "There done." Roy said as he finished bandaging Mizuki's arm and released it from his grasp. Ike was watching the hole time just staring at Mizuki.

    "You look familiar to me. Do I know you?" Ike asked her. Mizuki turned to Ike.

    "Yes I'm actually originally from Altea but then during the war I was sent here for my protection. You, Prince Marth, and Roy would always tell the guards to leave me alone. Remember me now?" she asked them as they both sat there aw struck.

    "Little Mizuki is that really you?" Roy and Ike asked in unison.

    "Ya it's me." Mizuki replied smiling sweetly to them.

    "No way wow you've grown so much over the months you have been gone." Ike said as he just stared at her. Roy sat there comparing the old Mizuki's appearance to the new Mizuki appearance, he couldn't belive the change Mizuki made over the few months she had been in Hyrule.

    "Are you two just gonna sit there?" Mizuki said as she blushed slightly and looked away from them and brushed the hair away from being in front of her eyes.

    "We should go look for Prince Marth and Princess Zelda." Mizuki stood up and walked over to the place they had disappeared. Ike and Roy nodded in agreement and followed her.
