Three Days – and a bit more..

by Ilionej

[To mainly my previous readers: I am terribly sorry. I know, 5 years are a long wait. But my life went mad since I started cosplaying properly. Yet now I have some time on my hands again, to continue the story(meaning, translating it - it is meanwhile concluded!). It has been re-worked so I believe most of the old typos are gone, PLUS, there is additional content important for the story! Also there won't be any info/comments on the chapters anymore. You won't get them in a book either. ;) Just enjoy the story, but remember it's for mature audience. Have fun (re)reading - and reviewing!]

First of all I'd like to advise, that almost all in this story appearing persons, places and initial points are property of Nintendo!

To be straight, the whole story mainly takes place in Termina – known from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. And to be even more precisely: should you not have played this entire game and it's forerunner Ocarina of Time, you don't even need to start reading! - oh - and Twilight Princess :)

Because, to finally get to the point, it's concretely about Kafei and Link and their actions shortly before the imminent downfall of Termina, as well as mainly the years after. I guarantee a view on the matters as it was not there in such way before.

Well – Nintendo just laid the foundation. Everything that doesn't clearly appear from the games or is officially confirmed – originates entirely from my manic brain. (Or does it? What would tell me, it is this way?) These things are BY NO MEANS confirmed! And – should other fans have similar theories or even written down already, it's not my fault. The following story has grown without influence from the fanworld.

There was just one bone of contention(without gaps): ilionej. deviantart favourites/#/d90n6f ("Warpaint" by ~kagfrog711)

Also I must point out that the geographical placement of Termina is based on my ancient idea and not on the parallel-worlds-theory. If you look at the maps, you might see why.

Thanks for your understanding

Or if not, thanks anyway

Yours (should you not know that already) Sandra =-)

P.S.: Questions regarding the story are permitted, and even desired.

P.P.S.: Preliminary events are there to vindicate the storyline. :|

P.P.P.S.: From chapter 8 on you should be at least 16 years old and have heard that love and it's physical performance does not only have to be between man and woman. If you can't cope with this fact, thanks for having read the first seven chapters. The King of Ikana wishes you to enjoy the rest of the world.

RATED: M

This, story includes heterosexual relationships, homosexual relationships, bisexual relationships, violence, strong language at some points, blood, character death aso. AND a lot to think! In short, it is a story about life! This is NOT just a romance story!

P.P.P.P.S.: Written in German, translated into English also by myself. Sorry for any mistakes you may come across. Please don't skip the story just because of it.

– Prologue –

From the Scrolls of the Ancestors

"Lo, there will be the day, when our Children, who carry no fault in our deeds, will come to claim the Light which was never granted them!"

"So speak your empty threats of a future not in your hand! I tell thee, so many they may be, our Children' Light serves every being in our worlds! And when they may crush our Peace, much wiser Kings strike back and armies, drenched in Courage – Power which seeks its match, will crush likewise, so that may golden shine the Sun eternally"

"No King wise enough, no Warrior brave enough, no dashing brute enoug to break my Children! Your King will come against you and he will bring more death upon your Lambs than all ye believed to need stealing the Light from!"

"Begone, fleshly Daemon! Begone with all thy empty words into the Void, wherein they belong!"

And the Wise King lost all Wisdom – had only faith in his Power – and opposed the Light, with ferocious hands that brought Death upon all. Even his own folk cried tears of blood without an end in sight. Yet as red as the soil was sodden, a shine fell downward. Carried on gentle wings, the Daughter glided from the Blessed Isle which she had sent aloft to save what had been left to save – turned her own Blade toward Demise's pate and crushed him amidst the blood of all people.

So it happened, that an order came forth.

New Power was given, to unite and defend what is good and right, to a King of Might, so that he would carry selfless Love in his Heart and keep Darkness at bay, which saught to blur his eye.

Wisdom always and evermore, to guide and lead, with cautious hands of a Queen, the faithful Spirit and the sacrifice of her own wealth over others'.

The bravest Warrior though, she presented her Sword, invigorated with Love's Light, so that he may preserve Peace to eternity.

Though where is Light, there Shadow must be. As without Shadow no Light and no Shadow without Light. Every thing its match, to remain Balance on the Goddess of Faith's Scale..
