Nightmares Long Past

Volga has a terrifying nightmare of his past sins coming to haunt him, but thankfully Princess Zelda is there to comfort him when he wakes and recounts his horror.

---

Fire. All Volga could see was fire. This would have been routine for him, had he not heard the screams of help from tormented innocent people. He quickly went into Dragon Form and flew to where he had heard the screams of the innocents, only to find they had been ReDeads! Even still, they each looked unique; he saw knights, villagers, nobles, maids, even ReDead children! The entire horde of them turned to Volga as he turned human, shambling towards him. He had drawn his spear, but it turned into a giant snake in his hands; winding around his body and rendering him completely immobile. Volga struggled and strained as the ReDeads shambled ever closer to him, but one by one they took their turns dogpiling him and dragging him beneath the ground.

When Volga had been dragged below, all the fire he was was replaced with a blank, empty, dark void. He looked around, when he heard a woman's voice. "Do you think they've forgotten what you've done?"

"No...I know they haven't..." Volga looked apprehensive.

The voice cackled. "Yet you've gone on so long without paying the price of your sins. You've torn apart so many families, so many lives, so many...lovers."

Volga's eyes widened. "Don't you dare! Leave Zelda alone!"

A spotlight shone a distance away, revealing a bloody figure laying on the ground. Volga ran over, seeing his worst fear laying before him. Zelda was dead.

Volga woke with a scream, breathing fire as he nearly went into his Dragon Form right then and there. Had his room not been completely fireproofed, it would have been utterly reduced to ash.

Footsteps pounded outside his bedroom, and the door flew open to reveal an alarmed Princess Zelda. "Volga!" She moved closer to him, more able to see his tear-stained face.

Volga looked up, seeing Zelda. "Zelda...you're alive..." he sobbed, pulling her into his arms.

Zelda laid her head on Volga's shoulder. "Of course I am...it was a dream, nothing more. I'll always be here, Volga." she crooned, leaning up to kiss his jaw. "Did you want to talk about it?"

Volga nodded, taking a deep breath before telling Zelda of his nightmare. Zelda listened intently, soothingly rubbing his cheek and wiping his tears away. When he was done, Zelda leaned up to kiss him. "Volga...your sins are behind you. And you work tirelessly to atone for them. You are no longer a dragon knight of darkness, you are the dragon knight I've fallen so deeply in love with."

Volga looked more calm, smiling at his beloved. "Zelda...I love you."

Zelda smiled back. "I love you too, Volga."

The Dragon’s New Flame

(Warning for implications of ab*se)

“Volga? Are you alright?” asked Princess Zelda.

“Hm? Oh, apologies, Your Highness. I was just lost in thought,” Volga hummed with a nod. It was true, the Dragon Knight Volga had been lost in thought, mostly concerning how and why Zelda gave him another chance; especially after being their enemy under Cia. The princess really was a compassionate woman.

It was shortly after Volga was found in the middle of Hyrule Field, bloody, broken, and on the verge of death. With fluttering, half-lidded eyes, he was sure it would be Zelda who he would last see, until fate brought him death’s sweet embrace. He couldn’t quite hear what she was saying, but she looked worried as ever. Was she fearing the mere sight of him? Was she ordering her guards to kill him then and there? His questions were answered with a resounding “no”, when he felt himself be lifted into a carriage, with Zelda herself sitting by his side. While he couldn’t hear much, he could hear the princess’s gentle, crooning voice as clearly as a bell: “You’re going to be alright, Volga!” It was then and there he faded to unconsciousness.

Things didn’t end there. When Volga was awake and fully healed, Princess Zelda had some news for the half-dragon, and called him to her throne room. 

“Volga, I know things haven’t been well for you working under Cia. You never really seemed evil, just a warrior seeking to face powerful opponents and testing your own strength. Working under someone like Cia had to have been awful.”

Volga looked away, silent. Zelda was right, though he didn’t want to talk about that torment.

“I want to put an end to that. You deserve respect, Volga.That’s why I want to hire you on as the captain of my guards.”

Volga looked shocked. “You would have me, Princess Zelda?”

Zelda’s cherry pink lips gently curled up in a sweet smile. “Of course I would. I would be foolish not to want one of the most powerful warriors in Hyrule.”

Volga laughed a bit. “You needn’t flatter me, Your Highness. I accept.”

Volga looked at Zelda once again. “Is Chief Darunia coming back for a visit?”

Zelda nodded. “He is. I would like you there with me when he comes.

Volga dipped his head in a bow. “Of course, Princess Zelda.”

Yes, the Princess was a compassionate enigma.
