I know, it's short. Super short. But, well, it IS an epilogue. Anyway, I can't believe this is already over. *Grabs a pillow and cries* Well... here it is, I guess. OH! One more thing... Please don't kill me for the ending. I was... kinda in a bad mood when I originally planned everything out, like forever ago... so yeah. *smiles nervously*

Epilogue

We finished the banquet with Link offering Zelda a dance, her accepting, and them speeding off to the courtyard to be together. Alone.

Liam and Kelly arrived while I was gone, apparently. They looked really happy when I came in, until Liam saw the stormy expression that normally gets on my face when he punched me as a little kid.

He managed to pull me out of the room (with Kelly's help) and calm me down before King Otis noticed I was here. Then I went back out, dressed more appropriately in some of Liam's stuff, and was thanked by the very gracious King for saving his only daughter's life.

Somehow, Zelda failed to mention that I accidentally tried to kill her a few times.

Not sure if that was good or bad, but with all the wedding preparations going on - hers and Kelly's - she never got me alone.

Anyway, I met Kelly's parents - they just remembered Ramian as a mischievous little boy with an even more mischievous little brother, who grew up to be a nice young man.

The other Sheikah were happy to see me, even though I never wore the Sheikah outfit.

I didn't really think it would look good on me, and… well, I never really thought of myself as a Sheikah. I mean, I mostly grew up as a Hylian named Dark Link. Actually, I wasn't even Hylian. I was more… shadow.

Anyway, Navi still didn't trust me, which I didn't mind.

But, back to the weddings. Liam and Kelly got married, and not long after, they announced that there was going to be more to the Curr bloodline, which made me smile. Until Liam told me I'd better be a good uncle - then I started freaking out. James was just excited.

Liam and Kelly had a little boy, which they named Derek. Then they had five other kids, too - three girls and another two boys. Fun. Apparently I was a good uncle, because Liam tells me they love "Uncle Rame."

Also, Liam was so good at being a Sheikah that he actually became their leader, which is why he and Kelly stayed at Kakariko Village until the very end.

Link was soon knighted by Princess Zelda, and became the best in the business. They eventually married and had children, who I tried to stay away from.

Zelda never finished that talk with me, which always brings a smirk to my face. Anyway, they got their happy ending, too. When her father died, it had a huge negative impact on Hyrule, but the now-Queen Zelda pulled the kingdom back together. I have to give her that, she makes a good queen.

James grew up, found himself a nice girl, and married her. They ended up having three kids, I'm pretty sure.

Anyone else… oh. Anju married the guy running the Shooting Gallery, who didn't believe that I was one and the same as the guy with the high score - who had been Dark Link. Still me!

...Sort of.

Navi actually flew back to Kokiri Forest, which Link didn't take too well. Not that I cared, naturally. I had no more ties with the Hero. I only saved the kingdom with him.

And me? I lived to a ripe, lonely old age, roaming Hyrule and never actually settling anywhere. As Dark Link, I'd never stood a chance to get someone - I mean, I'd managed to get Clarinda, but… when she turned into Zelda, everything between us evaporated.

The Ramian side of me could have gotten any girl he wanted with his looks - if he'd had more time. But since Ganondorf stole nine years of my life, I never got to know any young girls, and by the time I did, they were all married, or already had their knights in shining armor by the time I knew them…

I thought about trying for knighthood - since I used the same technique as Link, and almost beat him with it, I figured I could probably do pretty good. On the other hand, I'd have to fight him for the position, and I kind of dreaded having to fight him again.

It'd raise a lot of… interesting questions.

Anyway, I didn't want to be stationed in one place forever - especially Kakariko Village or the Market. Those places were way too crowded. That's why I always travelled.

But look on the bright side.

Liam never took my bed again.

THE END
