Left behind and abandoned, Linkle huffed, mad at the hero for never including her. She was a hero too and wanted to be partners with Link, especially since he kind of felt like an older brother to her.

"Yeah well, I can have my own adventures too, without Link!" Renting her problems to the Cucco on her head, she finally decided to head out into the mountains where the great dragon Lord lived. Of course, following behind the young girl was a Cucco.

Finally reaching the volcanic mountain, Linkle entered the large cave in front. It was hot beyond words but for the sake of her adventure, she would march through like the hero she was.

"Volga, are you here?" Hearing her own voice echo, it helped give the realization of how big the caves were.

"Huh? What is it, little guy?" Hearing the Cucco cluck, he was obviously sensing something coming, and just as he thought, a huge dragon flew out from one of the openings, roaring loudly.

"Volga!" Smiling brightly, she ran towards the dragon as it landed, engulfed by a body of fire before turning to his human form.

"Child, what are you doing here?" He asked, obviously annoyed by her presence.

" I came to see if you wanted to do missions with me!"

"..." Volga couldn't believe the foolish girl. He was ready to breathe flames and scare her away...but her dumb smile with the tubby feather creature on her head was oddly charming to the dragon.

"Very well, I-"

"Let's go!" Grabbing the dragon's arm, Linkle ran off with Volga and quickly made her way back to Hyrule castle.
Watching the girl grab every mission off the bulletin board, Impa would only cock her head in confusion when she saw Volga waiting for her.

"This is so much fun!" With the Cucco tucked under her shirt, Linkle flew across the sky on the dragon's back, quickly completing each mission she took with her.
Volga couldn't understand the girl one bit but it was kind of nice to see her smile.

"Hmm?" Looking down below, Volga spotted the peacemaker, ride on back to Hyrule on his horse. Linkle didn't seem to notice, and Volga didn't bother mentioning it, simply heading towards their destination.

Protecting a village from monsters, helping kid's find their lost pet's, and even fixing the damaged property of small village's. Linkle enjoyed every bit of the work and having the dragon lord with her made it even better and less lonesome. Though Volga did find most if not all humans foolish, he still agreed to aid the young girl in her mountain of work. But once it had gotten late and the sun had set, the young girl had worn herself out and fell asleep on the dragon's back on their return to the castle.

"What a naive girl..." He scoffed...but his words didn't stop him from taking the girl back to her room and putting her to bed, watching the Cucco snuggle up with her. She looked peaceful, almost cute even. Gently petting the girl's head before walking out the door, Volga silently left the castle and returned to his mountains.

-THE ROYAL CHAMBERS-

After finally returning home, Zelda got ready with the aid of Impa, discussing how the party went. Impa smiled, pleased by her queen's pleasant trip...however, she couldn't help but feel bothered by how often her queen brought up Ganon and how much the king seemed to have spoken with her young queen.

"Ma'lady, you sure seemed to have...enjoyed your time with his majesty" Impa didn't mean to distrust the dark king...But how could she not? For all she knew, he was still secretly trying to get his hands on the Triforce piece's.

"Y-Yes...I guess I never realized Ganon could be...pleasant to talk with" Losing the will to brush her hair any further, Zelda couldn't help but feel a bit...strange. Ganon had always been their enemy in the past but it was so nice to finally have peace...and Zelda was really surprised by how much she enjoyed the king's company. Thinking about it, Canon was very tall, dark, strong, smart, and...almost handsome?

"Oh my" Zelda blushed, standing from her seat.

"Ma'lady?"

"I-It's nothing, I just realized how late it had gotten" Was all Zelda could say before getting into bed. Impa sat by the bed against the wall, making sure to guard the queen with her life...deciding not to question her tired queen any further tonight.

-THE ROYAL STABLES-

Link brushed Epona thoroughly  after removing her gear, making sure she was clean and well fed. However, Epona was more concerned with the hero's wounds then her own well being. Nuzzling her snout against his cheek, she was relieved when he chuckled, smiling at her as he stroked her muzzle with his hand, letting her know he was alright.

"Thanks, Epona, I love you too" Closing his eyes for a moment as he rested his head against the horse's, starting to finally realize how exhausted he was after his fight with Ghirahim. Letting himself rest, he sat down on the pile of hay while Epona curled around him as his backrest, letting him sleep with her for the night in the stables.

-GERUDO CASTLE-

After returning home, Ganon gives out orders on his throne while he tuned out Zant, ignoring his childish rant's about Ghirahim's recent trip, however, it was amusing to hear of the demon lord returning wounded, wondering if Ghirahim had acted carelessly or not.

"I just don't see what he plans to do with that hero! And if it was for the Triforce piece, why not tell me about it!?" Zant argued.

"Zant, enough of this foolish banter! Ghirahim is to be trusted, as I side before...and as for what he's up to, that's for you to see for yourself" Taking the king's words into consideration, Zant thought it best to ask how his king's day went instead, before getting yelled at.

"I see...Well, then. How was the party you attended my lord?"

"Ah...The party went well, and I even managed to get the little queen to lower her guard" He grinned, pleased by the memory, by the sight of the young girl.

"Of course, you have the power to do anything my lord"

"Yes...anything I want...Hahahahaha!" Hearing the king's laugh from outside the door, Ghirahim was pleased to hear that his king was in good spirits, so he entered the room to greet his beloved master.

"Ah, Ghirahim...welcome back"

"Yes, and you too my lord"

"Perfect timing, I have a few things I need to get done" Standing from his throne, Ganon used his powers to force Ghirahim into his sword form, pulling the demon sword into his hand.

"Zant, stay here to watch over the place for me"

"Yes my lord" Bowing to his master, Ganon left the Twili to himself while he left for one of his errands with Ghirahim for his mission's weapon.
There was a camp of rebels that didn't agree to Ganon as Hyrule's ally...and they sadly lived on the dark king's side of the lend, so it was only natural that the king himself set them straight...personally.
