Hyrule Warriors-Two Thrones

Chapter.7

After relaxing long enough, Link took one of the clean rags and soaked it in water before scrubbing himself clean of all the sweat and sand. Despite the awful heat, the desert was actually pretty nice, even seeing how the monsters and Gerudo's living together was nice. The desert was so different from Hyrule. Where lush green grass use to grow, golden hot sand took its place, but the new sources of water were thanks to the new peace treaty, allowing the Gerudo's to gain access to water from the Zora's. This made Link proud, happy that he was able to bring peace between all the kingdoms.

Once Link finally got his scarf and tunic back on, he realized the sun was already setting, watching the Monsters and Gerudo's light the torches around the kingdom. He sat up from the ground and dusted his bottom before heading inside. While walking down the halls, Link couldn't help but smell the most delicious smells coming from the kitchen. His stomach growled, eager to eat.

"hungry, hero?" Suddenly hearing the demon king's voice, Link turned around. The king wore a smirk across his face.

"Y-Yeah" He replied. It was still weird not being enemies with the king...but the king has oddly enough kept up his part of the peace treaty...So did that mean Link didn't have to worry about Ganon betraying them? Was the demon king truly on their side now?

"Good, there will be plenty to eat," The king said before laughing a bit before walking down the halls and into his throne room. Link watched the king leave before heading into his own room, most liking to polish and shine his shield and sword before dinner.

-TONIGHTS BIG DINNER-

Once dinner was set and ready, Zant gathered everyone. When Link was called down for dinner, he was surprised to see the large room filled with Gerudo's and monsters, all seated together and eating. Some of the monsters didn't have table manners the way others did but they were all enjoying themselves. But before the hero could finish taking in the sight, he was suddenly pushed from behind and Ghirahim appearing in front of him, quickly pulling him into a wooden chair.

"You better eat before there's nothing left," Ghirahim said before appearing beside his master. Link looked at the table full of food. His stomach growled at the delicious sight. Without a second thought, Link stocked up on roasted potatoes before getting a nice bowl of cheese and broccoli soup. Ganon laughed at the hero's appetite but welcomed it none the less, quickly digging into his own meal. Ghirahim didn't eat, as he didn't need to, so he simply watched everyone eat for him. Zant ate politely, keeping his gaze only on his own plate.

After stuffing his face enough, Link finally stopped to realized the demon lord wasn't eating. "Ghirahim, you're not eating?" He asked.

"Oh no, A sword spirit doesn't need such human food" The demon lord's reply sounded as though he felt Superior for not needing to eat. Considering this was Ghirahim, he always felt Superior compared to everyone, at least everyone besides Ganon.

"Don't you at least want to try some? It's really good" The hero smiled a bit at the demon lord.

"I'd rather not poison my body with human garbage" The demon lord said, giving a slight smile towards the hero.
Link didn't like the food being called garbage but if the food really wasn't good for Ghirahim, than there wasn't any reason to force him to eat.

"I wonder if a sword spirit can get fat from eating..." Zant commented, ignoring the glaring and hissing Ghirahim was giving him. Link arched a brow, confused by the two.

"Don't mind those two, Link. Their always fighting" Ganon said, sipping his drink. Link nodded at the king's words before going back to eating, listening to the gossip of the Gerudo's, the snorting and grunting of the monsters, everyone's chewing and laughter. It was nice...it made Link feel like he was at a family dinner...He was always use to eating alone...so this change was nice, a little crowded but nice.
Ganon, however, suddenly stood from his seat, catching everyone's attention.

"Everyone, as you know, the hero Link has joined us for dinner tonight. He's here on vacation" Ganon announced before snapping his fingers. Hearing this sound, monsters who stood behind red curtains, opened them to reveal a small rounded stage made from the same stone as the castle.
Ghirahim appeared on the stage and snapped his fingers, summoning a band of monsters who began to play their instruments, paying a very festive tune.

"Now, dance, eat, enjoy this glorious night!" Ganondorf laughed, sitting down in his seat and gulping down the rest of his drink, slamming the cup down.

"Music?"  Link was a bit surprised to see that Ganon had set up a preference for him but the music was nice and watching everyone begin to dance was interesting because of how mystifying the beautiful Gerudo's danced vs the very blunt and strange dances the monsters did.

"They all look like their having such a good time" He smiled.

"Yes, why don't you join them" Just after hearing Ganon's reply, the king patted the hero's back just hard enough to send him into the crowd. Link stumbled a bit until a familiar pair of gloves hands pulled him onto the stage.

"Why don't you join me?~" Ghirahim licked his lips before continuing to dance, appearing in different places around Link. The hero wasn't very sure of this...but hearing the music and watching everyone else, he couldn't help but give in and dance alongside the demon lord, mimicking a few of the demon Lord's strange dance moves.

It didn't take long before Link had fully let go and was truly enjoying himself. But the whole time he danced, he couldn't stop looking away from Ghirahim, who was also staring back at the hero. This was definitely different from the first time they danced together, because this time, they weren't playing chase, this time they were dancing together, letting their bodies get almost comfortably close...
Ganondorf was more than amused by the night, laughing and even dancing with a few Gerudo women himself, while Zant, on the other hand, couldn't stand the noise... especially with how pleased Ghirahim looked, and with the hero too...however, Zant couldn't stop the almost disturbing feeling he got when he watched Ghirahim and the hero dance together...how they watched each other's every movement.

-SO ENDS TONIGHTS PARTY-

Once the long night was over, the Knights went back to posts, and the kitchen crew washed the dishes. Ganondorf returned to his room to retire for the night, leaving Ghirahim and Zant to do as they please. Link headed back to his own room, exhausted from all the dancing he did, so collapsing on the bed was the first thing he did.

"I didn't expect to have so much fun, and Ghirahim even showed me a few moves" The hero smiled at the thought of the demon lord, letting his eyes drift closed as he slowly fell asleep.
