He was gone before she could do anything, and it seemed to confirm what she'd said. That their relationship had been one sided this entire time. Such an understanding cut deeper than any sword could have ever hoped for.

Maybe that was how things were meant to be. After all she'd put him through, she was meant to be the one who got hurt. It was her actions as a child that had forced him into the situation. Sending him to his childhood was supposed to let him mature, not turn into a rock.

The friend she'd cared so much about seemed to be lost to the echoes of time.

It was some period later that she finished up a meeting with the Sage of Spirit. The woman was on her way out of the desert, when those who wanted to see the Evil King return to Hyrule closed in. Just about everyone knew, the only way to break the seal was to end the queen's life.

She's not afraid to defend herself, calling upon the elements of the Goddesses. However, she wasn't blind to what was going on, either. This woman was not fighting alone. It seems that someone had joined the fray, though it took some time to realize just who it happened to be.

Temporarily stunned by his presence, she's unaware of that who was just behind her.

And as quickly as it started, it was over. She had only a moment's notice to turn, certainly not enough time to react. For just a moment, it felt as old times. Just as he'd protected her so she could perform her sealing magic, here he was again. Only this time, he was a true adult.

"...Yes, of course."

Maybe she'd judged too quickly. Maybe there was still a glimmer of that little boy left.

There was a time when she felt the same way.

That it was safer if she didn't make true connections to anyone. She'd allow herself the sages, solely due to the necessity pertaining to the safety of Hyrule. It was a fear that someone else would have their life ruined, the way she'd ruined Link's life. It was entirely her own fault. If she hadn't believed so strongly in some reoccurring dream, none of it would have happened.

"...Don't let that feeling ruin your chances of loving someone, and receiving love in return."

Romantic, platonic, it didn't matter. Love was love, no matter what form it took. There was an innate worry for him, even though he must have been much older than she was. Age was meaningless. Maturity was what mattered. If he wanted to ignore those feelings for a while, she'd certainly pry no further.

But it wouldn't change the worry.

"Of course it does. Hyrule has a place for anyone of any background, so long as no one is physically harmed in the present. I understand that there are many transgressors who seek to change their ways, and I believe it only fair to give them a chance. A bad action does not always constitute a bad person."

"You never fail to impress."

She wasn't sure what good it would do in this situation, as he said, but any defense was one worth having. If all else failed, she could always call upon the power of Nayru's Love. Not even the Evil King's power could penetrate that crystal, such was the nature of that protection magic.

The problem was how long it could last.

Being such a stamina intensive magic, she couldn't maintain it for a terribly long time, especially not when up against such a powerful opponent. Knowing what they were getting into this time was going to be the biggest key to their success. She'd relayed all the information she knew to.

"Let's be off."

Turning back towards the entrance, she felt a renewed sense of strength. They could do this.

A rose could symbolize a lot of things based on color.

But to her, it symbolized friendship. A yellow rose, a color that she loved dearly. Maybe not her favorite, blue was the woman's true favorite. But yellow reminded her of the sunshine. Of happy days spent out in the fields. Sunflowers in the summertime.

"The women in my family are known to be great enchantresses."

Magic was very important to her. It was more than just a means for one to defend themselves. It could be used for so many good things. Ice magic could be used to keep food from going bad. Fire magic could be used to warm those lost in the cold. These were things the princess made sure to do, whenever opportunity presented itself.

"All I did was focus light magic into the rose itself. When an abundance of magic filled the bloom, it began to spill out, which causes the glow. How long it will glow depends on how long the residual light magic lasts."

@supcrsxnic-cxmct wanted a seasonal starter <3

"The summer festival will be upon us soon."

Lowering to her knees, there's a smile on her face. The woman reaches into her basket, and places a bloom of lavender behind Comet's ear. It was her favorite flower, and its prime blooming season was summer.

"I do hope you will join us, dear. I will be personally making all of the food served, and there will be festival games with exciting prizes."

"Hey, hunny... did you miss me?" Zelos asked, approaching to give her a hug.

That was a voice she hadn’t heard in some time. But such was a thing she could never forget.

“...More than you realize.”

Of course she returned the embrace. He must have been a very busy person, and that was just fine, as she was too. Seeing him sparked a lot of positive emotion.

“I am happy you found time to visit.”

That was important, wasn't it?

Don't push yourself so hard. No, she'd definitely remember to allow herself recreational time. If she got too emotionally stressed, she ran too many dangerous risks. The biggest was the possibility that the darkness would win, and the Ganondorf she knew returning to the country.

Without a courageous hero to wield the Master Sword, what hope was there should it happen again? She'd already sent Link to his childhood. He was gone from this timeline.

"I have faith, because I have guidance. When I struggle, I know there is someone who has been through the process of running a kingdom that I can ask for help. That someone, being you."

Under ordinary circumstance, a person would expect the king, or queen to teach their child the necessities of being ruler. Zelda didn't have that option, her father was slain in battle when she was only a child. Not that she wanted to continue the many unfair judgements he made.

Maybe it was better this way.

"If peace reigns in Hyrule, I'll be happy."

A moment is taken, to kneel down, and pluck a flower. A yellow Cosmos, which she soon offered to the significantly taller man.

"This flower represents happiness, as you have aided in me feeling optimistic about Hyrule's future."

"It gives me confidence to see you think so."

Even though for one more year, she would mostly be a figurehead rather than a proper ruler, she was still doing everything she could to make sure her country was taken care of. Her power was diminished by the council's rulings, something that probably wouldn't be the case if she had been a man.

But that was how rules went. Even a queen would have had to follow some rules.

"Won't you join me in the forest? We could gather mushrooms for the Autumn Festival, it is only days away."
