A/N: So just got done finishing There After. This is my second story. I decided to write a sequel. Some things I didn't tell about There After. Not that important. They're just songs. Nocturne of Shadow by Hylian Ensemble was played when Impa did her little mission in one of the rooms in the castle of Arailya. Gerudo Desert played when Link was in the desert. Not too important. I might take a break from writing. I don't know. Since I start school and work Monday. Thanks to all the people that keep reading my story. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter One

The castle had been quiet, tranquil most times. My royal burgundy tunic was accompanied by golden shoulder plates. Dark gray sleeves and pants were also revealed as my golden crown lay gently on my head. It got a little bit cooler as fall started to come around. I had turned the age of twenty, as Zelda, nineteen. It had been four months since we shared our honeymoon with Sorin and Amelia. Right after the honeymoon, Sorin mentioned that it was now time to get back to his kingdom. He also mentioned that his brother, Kadel, was next in line to the throne. I always wondered how he was doing in his kingdom. While Sorin and Amelia had been gone, Amelia left me a book to study ancient hylian, in case I ever needed it. I sat in my throne, impatient, aggravated, and pestered. My hand was held to my forehead as a loud voice echoed through the main hall.

"My lord, you cannot just allow people we do not know of, entry to our kingdom!" The royal court hadn't changed one bit. They were still a pain in my ass. A young girl and woman of our subject discussion, stood to my right and the court to my left. "These people-

"Are of no harm to any of us." I replied, still annoyed, my hand still held to my forehead.

"They come from a distant land from beyond the desert! We've never even heard of this place they call Savaden." The court member dusted off his cap. "These Savadians are clearly of a different race-

"And?! That means nothing!" I shouted back angrily.

"We already have enough races in Hyrule, should they decide they want to dwell here!" This member was really pissing me off. "The Gorons, the Zoras, the Gerudos!"

"Enough!" I slammed my fist hard on my armrest. "I will not have discrimination upon my land!" I glared angrily at the member as the woman held the young girl tightly. "You're all dismissed. We're quite finished for the day." I said, not taking my eyes off of him.

"We shall see your highness… We shall see…" He said as he turned around, his cape following him as he stormed off. I felt bad as the young girl and woman had to watch. They slowly approached me with worry on their faces.

"Your highness, we're deeply sorry. We didn't mean to cause any trouble…" The woman said looking down at her daughter.

"Yeah, any trouble…" The little girl said in a low tone. She wore a light pink dress and had a palm tree like hairstyle on her head.

"It's quite alright, really. I apologize you had to witness some unprofessional behavior, miss…?"

"Vatani, my name is Vatani, my lord." I smiled politely.

I walked up to the little girl and kneeled down to her, dangling my arm on my knee. "May I ask what your name is, sweetie?" She was very cute and sounded too cute. She grew shy as she held her stuffed animal doll to her closely. Her tiny foot scruffed the floor.

"My name is Genesis, but um, if my name's too hard for you, you can call me Genie." She looked up at me with her big eyes. "I don't like to be called Genny, because um, it's too common."

I chuckled as I smiled softly at her. "I'll keep that in mind. How old are you, Genesis?"

"Um…" She blushed as her mother looked at her.

"Go on, honey, tell the king how old you are." She smiled.

"I'm six." She giggled and held her stuffed animal closer.

"Well, you sound very mature for a six year old and I'm sorry about that man I was arguing with."

"He was scary…" She frowned.

I smirked and started to write a note on a card. "Here, if that scary man ever bothers you again, you can tell me alright?" I ended the note with my signature and handed it to her. "Think of it as a pass from me. Just show it to the guards and anyone else that tries to bother you." The card stated that the two were visitors and if anyone had tried to ban them away, they would have to come directly to me.

"Okay!" She beamed at me and started to play with her stuffed toy.

"Genesis, what do you say to the king?" She looked at her daughter with one hand on her hips.

"Oh… thank you." She spoke coyly. She started to play with her stuffed animal again as she held it up in the air.

"Thank you so much my lord." Vatani smiled as she looked at her daughter.

"Not a problem." I smiled at Genesis as well. "May I ask whom you were going to visit, miss?"

She fixed her dark, chestnut hair a little bit. "We were to visit a woman in Kakariko by the name of Anju."

"Anju…" I remembered as a child, I used to gather her chickens, due to her allergies. My thoughts drifted off to her brother as I frowned a little. "How is that lady? Ever since her brother… well…" I looked at Genesis and decided to keep my mouth shut.

"Yes, that's why we've come, my lord." Vatani frowned. "And we truly miss her."

"Yes Lord Link! We miss Auntie Anju!" She shouted as she started running down the hall, toward the entrance. Vatani frowned as she went to chase after her daughter.

"Thank you again Lord Link." She did a quick curtsey and turned around again, chasing her daughter. I nodded and smiled softly as I headed back to my throne. "Genesis, honey, no running!" A slight jam from the door was heard as it remained quiet again.

I stared at the decorations on the walls and large windows the castle had carved, wondering if I deserved any of this. I always thought of it. Was I a good king? Did anyone resent or hate me? Was I doing a good job, even though people told me I did? Endless thoughts of being the new king of Hyrule always rung in my head. I sighed as I plopped in my throne, irritated to death of politics. I put my hand to my forehead and closed my eyes.

"You're doing a great job my love." An angelic voice echoed through the room. I sighed once more as I soon felt hands gently massage my shoulders a little.

"Am I…?" I looked up at the woman. She wore a coral, orange dress today. It showed her bare shoulders as it stopped at the top of her arms. Her sleeves cut off just below her elbow. Her golden tiara, with green, red, blue gems in it, laid on her head gracefully.

"Yes, you are, my love." She brushed a strand of hair out of her face. "And seeing how you did with that child, I'm certain you'd make a great father." She kissed my cheek gently.

I smiled softly, stood up and extended my arm to her as she took it. We started to walk toward the garden in the courtyard. The sun setted slowly above the horizon. We walked toward the tree with the pink petals, near the stream where I first snuck in to meet Zelda.

"It hasn't been too long, I'm sure." Zelda looked up at me. It looked like she hadn't aged a day, still flawless, and gorgeous as ever.

"No, it hasn't." I looked at her and sighed followed by a big smile. My smile soon disappeared as I held my sword tight and squinted my eyes a little. I listened more as I moved Zelda and swung it behind us. She gasped. My blade was held to a stranger's throat, inches away from their death.

"Guess it's been too long for me then…?" The stranger said with their hands up. Zelda and I both looked up with wide eyes…
