A Charming Prince and His Prince(ss)

Meeting at the Start!

~~.~~

Prince Sidon stared at the road from the top of the bridge, he knew he was seeking out a Hylian the very same that had brought death to his sister. But he just had to find one, it was prophesied that a Hylian would save them all. “Where could this hero be?”

~~.~~

Prince Sidon woke sudden looking around in a panic. He quickly dived into the water and swam up to Vah Ruta but when he got there it was the same as always peacefully sitting there. It had been a few years since that day and yet he still dreamed of the time before, he exhaled sharply before gently gliding through the water around the giant construct. Why couldn’t he be more like that hero of long ago, he baely remembered what that hero even looked like but at least he got to see that hero’s descendant in action. He clenched his fist in front of him a smile creeping onto his face as he remembered the thrill of the fight. He had never swum so fast before but in that moment with the adrenaline coursing through his body he gave all he could to help. After Vah Ruta opened up, he had fretted that his help wouldn’t be enough. He had known he couldn’t go in, he had been hit after all, not that he wanted to admit it. After all the hero did do his best to keep him from getting hit and it was his own fault for grazing a rock that was hidden below. He chided himself, if he had been more vigilant maybe he wouldn’t have been injured and could have helped more. But the champion did overcome the obstacles after all and that was what was important.

“Prince Sidon!” the shout had him twisting to find a Hylian messenger standing at the edge with one of the zora guards. He quickly swam over hoping it was good news, after all he looked forward to Link’s visits. He pulled himself out of the water and accepted the missive and gave his best smile and a thumbs up before reading it not even noticing how nervous his smile had made the messenger. The guard led the messenger away as Sidon broke out in a grin wider than ever before, it was indeed very good news. Link was coming to visit and he needed to prepare, granted the Princess was coming as well but still. He wanted to shout but decided against it when he saw the guards that were coming to fetch him. Normally their presence would annoy him but not today. He flashed them a mischievous grin before diving into the water and swimming away before they could reach him. He already decided he would go and meet them.

Link sighed for the thousandth time after dispatching yet another batch of bokoblin that had come after them. He was surprised there were still so many since his defeat of Calamity Ganon, seriously where did they keep coming from? They had opted to skirt the wetlands to avoid lizalfoes but had to deal with bokoblins instead, he almost would have rather have dealt with lizalfoes at this rate. He wiped the sweat from his brow before looking over at Zelda who was surveying the surroundings with a frown on her face. He shook his head before tending to his horse, Epona whom swished her tail in annoyance and stamped her hoof. She had wandered back once the danger had passed. Link had relinquished ownership on the pure white horse he had tamed and named Lightening to Zelda. When he had heard that a pure white horse was wandering around he had instantly thought of Zelda’s proud stallion, granted this horse was a mare but still he had to catch it in case Zelda was still alive like him. Of course the Mare had taken to her right away which made him smile a bit. He pulled himself onto Epona’s back and waited as Zelda too mounted.

“It shouldn’t be that much farther now, we should see the bridge soon,” Zelda said, she sounded a bit uncertain however. Link remembered that bridge it was the place he had met Him for the first time, Prince Sidon and that winning smile of his. Of course he had been nervous at first all those sharp teeth and all but he was a genuinely nice guy. That winning smile had grown on him of course, he felt heat rising too his cheeks as he thought of the zora prince. He couldn’t wait to get there, of course almost every time he was there he and the prince would take a picture together. It was odd but the other male always seemed willing to strike a pose with him.

They walked the horses at a steady pace until the bridge came into view then Link nudged Epona into a trot with Zelda not far behind. A movement caught his eye and he pulled Epona to a stop and nearly pulled his bow when he saw who it was. He smiled as Zelda pulled to a stop beside him, Prince Sidon jumped down from the tower and flashed them his winning smile of his. Link hopped down and went to meet the Prince, but as he got to him the Prince suddenly grabbed him up into a crushing hug. He was surprised but didn’t struggle as the prince set him down fairly quickly.

“You should come visit more often, Link” Prince Sidon said suddenly. “And of course regale us with stories of your adventures.”

“That’s mostly my fault,” Zelda replied. “We’ve been so busy trying to piece the Hyrule nation back together and meeting such resistance from those yiga and the Bokoblins.”

“You can’t let your personal guard take a six day vacation?” Prince Sidon asked.

“You know I can’t, not with all the monsters still about,” Zelda explained. “Good news though we will be here for seven days at least. And with all the guards in the domain I don’t see why I can’t let Link off this once.” Prince Sidon seemed very happy about that bit of news. “But on the seventh day we have to leave, we only came on ceremony of course, after all this is the anniversary of the defeat of Calamity Ganon and this year we celebrate with the Zora. I also invited Kass so he may be by later on.” Prince Sidon frowned at this news, Link looked at him confused for a few minutes as he wondered what the Prince was thinking at that moment. “So are you our escort?”

“Kind of, I tried to lose the royal guard but they will be catching up any minute,” Prince Sidon replied and just as he said it the Royal Guard did indeed walk up from the bridge looking very disgruntled. Link chuckled a bit but hid his amusement to nod at them respectfully acknowledging them. “My father hates it when I sneak out so he’s been sending guards with me everywhere I go, I don’t have a moments privacy.” He shrugged with a nonchalant smile before the entourage led them along the path. It was obvious that the Zora had cleared out most of the lizalfoes as he saw none on the way to the domain, it seemed so odd. His first time through there were dozens of them patrolling the roads and he even ran into a few camps of them and one of their main bases.

It was now full of Zora, he wondered if since the Vah Ruta incident was solved that they maybe they had the opportunity to boost their numbers and patrols in the area. Link looked around in awe and amazement he hadn’t even realized that Prince Sidon had slowed down to keep pace with him. Of course when his eyes scanned back around he was surprised to see the other so close but he smiled receiving a smile in return before he went back to looking around as he lead Epona. Zelda was still astride her mare which was being lead by one of the zora guard. As they were guided across the large bridge that spanned thousands of feet above the water he smiled in the direction of the city it was still beautiful even from a distance.

“Link, when you get a moment after all the pleasantries perhaps we could go for a swim Vah Ruta is still guarding over us after all,” Prince Sidon spoke grinning down at Link. Link looked up at him excitedly and nodded, it had been a while since he went for a decent swim and swimming the Prince was always a treat. They followed the mountain trail all the way to the main bridge leading to the city. Of course most of the sleeping quarters and royal rooms were below in the water but the throne was above water along with the shops and the pavilion. There was a whole city below and gardens of coral, he hadn’t seen them when he had been adventuring but the last time he had visited with Princess Zelda in tow, Prince Sidon had shown Link, his room. It had definitely been a room fit for a Prince of course he had worried about the fact there was only one bed, even if it was large.

Link wouldn’t mind going to see it again but as they approached the throne room he smiled it was great just being back here. He loved the crisp clean air and the smell of the water, especially how cool the water was on the hot days. And with how hot it had been on their ride here it was definitely worth the wait. He gave one last Smile to Prince Sidon before they finally entered the throne room where the king awaited them.
