Don't you dare leave me behind

Chapter 1: Where is Link?

Shuffling her feet across the light blue tile of Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda made her way to the stained glass window that bore the royal crest. The air was cold on her skin and her breath seemed to come in small wisps of warm air that seamlessly disappeared.

Her light eyes gazed upon the window, the beautiful hues frozen in glass, leaving them cold and still. Zelda's heart heart quivered deep in her chest, fighting the tears. Her own fist curled up against her chest and in great effort not to let emotions sweep her under, Zelda turned away from the opaque decor. Its true, she ached for him. For his touch, his warmth, his beating heart. Its as if the Goddesses rejected their coupling, as if it wasn't meant to be. Just one right after the other, as soon as she found the courage to tell him, her hero would be ripped from her by war, famine, or missions to far-off places. The princess shivered in the frigid air, but the it was nothing compared to the loneliness she felt. Her being felt empty, like an  soul that had known true love only briefly and had yet to experience it. Had yet to feel it's embrace, yet to have the new insight on things that only a lover had. Yet to give this love.
