Hello to all. This is a romantic Link/Zelda fic that I've decided to write. It's a romance/drama/smidgen of comedy. It takes place in the Ocarina of Time setting, after Zelda sent Link back and they grew up to be 18. There personalities are a little unlikable in the beginning but that's only because I wanted to make believable strife between them. There wouldn't be much conflict if they were both wonderfully pleasant and perfect people, now would there? No adult themes or swearing in this story.
Please read ~ review ~ and enjoy!

Part Six: The Goddesses' Plan
(2/2)
The sun was just rising over the Sacred Realm, casting golden bands of warmth and giving back life to the slumbering emerald landscape. Birds began to sing their joyful songs and the clear sky reflected in the basin of the waterfall, a bright blue plane churning with foamy ripples like clouds.
Nayru knelt beside the rock pool, her knees sinking deep into the damp sand and sticking to her pale skin. She looked over into the waters and her long azure hair fell in soft waves into the pool, just the ends of the strands brushing the surface. A smile played across her blue tinted lips and she said happily in her mature, wise voice, "They are finally together."
The Goddess of Courage was sitting by her side, her green dress hiked up over her creamy thighs and her short, deep emerald hair tucked back behind her ears. She coed delightfully, "Yes and this time for forever!" Then her eyes narrowed and filled with a tint of anger. Farore seethed in her sweet voice, "Boy, I wish I could have popped that Prince one right in the nose."
Her sister laughed and even though she shared her feelings, she had to be the voice of reason. "Well at least in the end it all worked out perfectly," she said, "Our plan went well I'd say."
Farore nodded happily and exclaimed, "Yes perfect!"
"What are you two birds twittering about?" Din sighed, off by the edge of the beach were she was just arising from a sleep, wiping away dreams and sand from the corners of her eyes. Her long legs were bare of her boots and now lay behind her in long sinewy limbs of flawless slender tan flesh.
The emerald hued Goddess chirped, "The Princess and the Hero finally are together!"
The Goddess of Power seemed a bit excited and her long crimson hair was not clasped back for the first time to allow for more comfort during sleep and now tumbled down her shoulders in straight gleaming strands. She asked, "Really? But I thought up until now Zelda was marrying that Prince and Link was leaving..."
Farore shook her head, sending her green hair spinning about in the air. "No. You should have seen it Din! Zelda told the Prince off and slapped him finally..."
The red haired Goddess interjected with an enthusiastic outcry, "O I wish I could have seen that! I wanted to do the same since I first saw that arrogant snob."
"Me too..." Farore continued, "And then the Princess chased after Link, even in the rain, and stopped him from leaving. She confessed her love and how she could give a care to what her father thinks and then... they kissed!"
Din gasped, "Just like that?"
The Goddess of Courage nodded her head and her emerald eyes shown with smug satisfaction. "Just like that," she replied.
Nayru looked at the usually callous Din and said in surprise, "Why, sister, is that a tear I see now in your eye?"
Indeed there was a sheen to the Goddess of Power's eyes and a single tear-shaped drop plummeted down her cheek. Din wiped it away quickly, brushing it under her hard hands, and snapped, though unable to hide the sniffle in her voice, "No! It's just... the sunrise caught in my eyes, that's all. Why would I cry about... something like that? After all, you know I have no affection for love and matters of the heart, especially when it involves mortals of all things."
Nayru smiled softly and nodded knowingly. "Of course. If you were crying though, that would be quite all right too. What happened was so beautiful. I never myself had known Hylians were capable of that deep of emotions but I guess they are..."
The Goddess of Power rolled her crimson eyes and rose from her bed of soft silky sea grass and shifting grit dunes. She sighed, tying her hair back as she did so, "Well I'm just happy you two are finally done prying into those weak beings' lives. Now I won't have to hear about it any longer."
Farore grinned brightly and her heart shaped face glowed mischievously. "Yes of course," she said and then exchanged a knowing glance with Nayru.

ClosingNotes:
Awww!! *Sap alert* I know it was a kind of a lovey-dovey ending but I just couldn't finish my little mini-drama any other way. What you think of it all-in-all? I hope you liked it for the most part. I know some people wanted me to end up having Gaelith killed, by Link or any other means possible (In some cases by the reviewer themselves hehe) but I didn't think he was that terrible to die, just get a slap. He was somewhat of a snob but he was as prisoner to his title as Zelda was... Or at least that's how I saw it but whata I know right? Lol. I hope I don't get too much flames for that! ^_^;;
Thanks for giving me such great, positive reviews thus far, that made me very happy and pushed me to keep writing even though I'm known for giving things up after awhile. Look out for my next series, which should be coming soon and will be a lot different then what you're use to! Well it was a fun ride but now it's over so hit the road, ya bums! Hehe.
