A/N: I'm sure by now you noticed the chapter started with 'the'. Well…

XIV. The Epilogue

Vincent plopped down on the suspended bench and looked over to Link, "I think it holds. Looks like we aren't that bad of handymen at all."

"Well of course," Link said as he took a seat next to Vincent. "I'm sure the two of could've built this if we wanted to. Besides, I'm not bad with my hands so I doubt that we were going to fail at this."

Vincent laughed a bit, 'Yeah, imagine that the two of us, warriors chosen by the Goddesses themselves. You save the world and I take out everyone and to think that we could fail building a stupid bench. That would've been rich. We'll get work on the castle tomorrow, right Link?"

"Yeah we will," Link answered, not looking back to Vincent that time. "We are going to need more people than just the two of us to rebuild the throne room after you and your dramatic entranced took its toll on it."

Vincent laughed, "Not my fault, I'm telling you. Thanks for helping me out to build the bench, wouldn't want the wives waiting out on the steps like they did last time. Hopefully there won't be a time they need to but it's nice to have on summer day."

"You got that right," Link said lazily as he sat back on the bench.

Malon came out of the house and turned to Link and Vincent. She smiled at the both of them and walked over to the two. Link, seemingly getting the hint in Malons's eyes decided to get up from the bench and walked back into the house. It didn't matter to him anyways; he had a wife to get to anyways, just like how Vincent did. But, as Link left the two alone, Malon was going to go and sit down. But Vincent, being the jerk that he was some of the time, lay out on the bench and smiled up at Malon as she now had nowhere to sit. But, Malon, being married to Vincent for 17 years, simply sat on him. After a colorful exchange of words, the couple managed to lie together on the bench and watched as the sun started to set.

Malon was the first to catch Lyndis come out of the inn with someone by her side. Malon waved at Lyndis. The blond noticed the redhead's greeting and waved back. She whispered something to the man that was next to her and together they walked up to Malon and Vincent.

"That thing doesn't look to sturdy," Lyndis said, looking up at the two. "And shouldn't you two go inside if you want to get a little comfy with each other?"

"Well then, how about you first tell us about him and then we'll think about moving inside," Malon said.

Lyndis smiled and laughed as she looked down. She was trying to hold the red that was creeping into her cheeks. She looked back up to Malon and Vincent and clutched onto her man tighter, "Well this is… Sigurd Sombra. Isn't he is a sexy beast?"

Malon laughed. Vincent rolled his eyes. Sigurd Sombra, Lyndis' man was quite the looker. Blond strands of hair fell from his head, sometimes doing the job of covering up his crimson red eyes that rivaled with Vincent's scarlet one's for the most piercing. If one played close enough attention, he wore a skintight, blue bodysuit under the dark gray tunic that he wore. And Vincent couldn't help but noticed that he smiled, that Sigurd didn't look like he was accustomed to smiling. But he smiled a genuine one nonetheless. Most likely he was just happy to be with Lyndis. But as Malon and Lyndis laughed, he simply smiled and Vincent just sighed. They wouldn't understand women. No man ever does… unless they were in the same league as Lars and Virgil.

"It's nice to meet you both," Sigurd said. He turned back to Lyndis, "Weren't we out to go get something to eat?"

"Oh, you two can stop by for dinner in about an hour," Malon said. "It's almost done and you know I have to make enough for everyone. And everyone means almost fifteen, and including you two we'd be at fourteen. Fifteen if we're going to count our little miracle, right Vincent."

"Wait… what?" Vincent asked. Vincent leaned his head back and groaned, "I almost forgot you told me you got pregnant again."

"How could you forget?" Malon asked him.

"I'm sorry I was off saving the world with Link and it slipped my mind," Vincent answered.

The two of them laughed and then they quieted down. Malon turned to Lyndis, "So stop by if you can wait an hour."

"Well, I guess we can do that then," Lyndis said as she looked over to Sigurd. He nodded and the made her smile. She turned back to Malon and Vincent, "I guess I'll see you two later at dinner." She turned to her boyfriend, "Come on Sigurd, and let's go get something to bring to dinner. Or we find something to do to pass the time."

"Of course, Lyn," he answered and the two of them began to walk away.

Vincent and Malon sat together on the bench and watched them walk away. Vincent kissed the top of Malon's head and then wrapped his arms around her. Malon looked up to him and was going to give him a kiss, the chains that held the side of their lower bodies gave way and the lower part of the bench fell. The two of them looked at each other in shock at what just happened and the bust out laughing. They decided to kiss each other before they got up from the fallen bench.

"Nice job there," Malon said as she walked to the front door.

"Blame Link, he did most of the work," Vincent added.

The two of them opened the front door and there they found Link and Zelda, kissing each other rather intimately on the couch. They immediately broke it was Malon and Vincent had opened the door. The two were rather red. Vincent, being the bastard that he still is, went over and sat between the two. Malon chuckled as she went into the kitchen. Vincent looked at Link and Zelda and then sighed, leaned back on the couch, and then put an arm around the both of them.

"Isn't it great you two?" Vincent asked. "We can finally just kick it back and hopefully never get caught like that again."

"Vincent, you're terrible," Zelda said as she laughed.

"Oh your sister has found another guy to shack up with again," Vincent said to Link. "Good looking guy too. Coming over to dinner too so you can interrogate him."

"You think that's what I want," Link said. In truth, that's exactly what he wanted. He doesn't let anyone just get close with his sister unless he has his time with him. He still likes being the older brother after so many years but that's how Link is. And he really wants to see this new guy so he can make sure he's worth his sister's time. Lyndis was Lyndis, and she needed someone that would no doubt take care of her and Link was going to make sure of that. "But it's nice to know that they are coming over later."

"Yeah, sounds like a nice little Aegis/Knightly family gathering," Vincent said. "We should have more of those like we used to have… before all the kids."

"Vincent, why is your name first?" Zelda asked.

"I have a reason!" Vincent said as he turned to Zelda, a little too emphatic. Anything to disprove that he was an egotistical, arrogant, and - well that picture had been painted before. "It's all alphabetical."

"Of course it is Vincent," Zelda said, like she was talking to a child.

"Hey, Vincent," Link called. "Have you seen Lance?"

"Have you seen Vivi?" he asked back.

Lance and Vivienne sat atop the roof of the house. Vivienne had her head on Lance's shoulder and the two of them were watching the sun go down the horizon. Lance put his arm around Vivienne's shoulder. He looked over to her and she looked up at him. Lance couldn't help but love the red dress she decided to where that day. He was sure her father hated it but he didn't care, she was beautiful in it. And he decided to give his dad's wardrobe choice a try and he wore a fresh green tunic. Though he didn't go for the tights, he wore tan leggings. Close enough, anyways.

"Hey, Lance," Vivienne said softly.

"Yeah, Viv, what is it?" he asked.

She put an arm around him and snuggled closer to him. "I love you. And I'm glad we made it out alive."

"Me too," Lance said. "And I love you too."

The two leaned closer to each other and shared one more kiss before the sun completely went down the horizon. The two of them broke the kiss and then looked down to the ground to see most of the kids come back to the house along with Lyndis and Sigurd walking up. The two of them were quite close. And as Lance and Vivienne watched, Sigurd and Lyndis stopped to give her a quick kiss. Lyndis decided to go up and into the house first as Sigurd fixed his tunic outside. He finished and then looked up to see Lance and Vivienne. The two of them looked at Sigurd strangely before he smiled at them and waved his hand before he headed inside.

"I guess we should go back inside," Vivienne said.

"Wait," Lance said as she tried to get up.

"What, Lance," Vivienne asked.

He smiled and the kissed her one more time, "Nothing, Viv, that was it."

"You're bad," Vivienne said as she laughed at him before kissing him back.

And so the two of them became more than just friends that day, much to the chagrin of Vincent. And the Knightly and Aegis family would probably unite with one another in the future. And for the time being, peace finally rested on Hyrule. No more psycho kings of evil, no more overzealous angels, and no more rebellious and happy shadows. Just all that was left was to live out the rest of their lives. And hopefully, there would be nothing else to threaten that again.

A/N: Yes, you know already the answer Zoshonel, but who knows when it'll come out of my brain. Oh wait, I do. Gotta finish some other fanfictions first. Oh, caught a few mistakes after Zos pointed them out… I hopefully got them all.
