Outset Island was bursting with excitement and festivities. Aryll stood in front of a mirror and waited while her grandmother braided her hair, intertwining beautiful ribbons within each strand.
"Let me see." Grandmother had Aryll turn around and smiled approvingly. "My beautiful girl... you make the loveliest bride."
Aryll sniffed, "G-Grandma..."
"Is she ready?" Tetra peered into the room, dressed up and carrying newborn Miska in a sling.
"She is... where's Link?"
"I'm here." Link walked in, dressed appropriately for the special occasion. His hair, still fluffed as ever, seemed just a little tame. He linked arms with Aryll and found himself holding his breath.
"Breathe, Brother."
"Sorry." Link smiled finally, "This is hard."
"I know." She hugged him a little, "But it's okay, I'm not going anywhere."
Link had reluctantly approved of Aryll's wedding but it was hard, he felt almost sad, it was bittersweet. He walked Aryll out slowly and after the steps and down the dirt path, Arkayne stood on one of the nicer stones, smooth and perfect for a wedding. He reached out his hand and and Link let go of her arm after saying that he was giving her away.
It was painful, those words. It should have been something a father did but he was the older brother, he watched out for her. Gulping against the lump in his throat he stepped away and went to sit next to Tetra. She took his hand and squeezed it gently, leaning over to kiss his cheek.
"It's okay." She whispered.
"I know..." Link was holding his breath again.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Arkayne and Aryll's eyes locked before they shared the most beautiful kiss. The citizens of the island began to throw flower petals, tropical and beautiful. Arkayne laughed with Aryll as he scooped her up into his arms, bridal style while everyone cheered and congratulated them.
Link held Tetra's hand and smiled at her wearily.
"You're such a trooper."
Link chuckled, "I'm trying to be happy... and maybe it's not that I'm sad, it's just unreal."
"You have to be pleased though... if it weren't for him she wouldn't be here."
"Right." Link's smile grew, "It just took one wish."
-End-
