Chapter 33: challenge

Ganons pov****

"So when did you get back? Yesterday?" I chewed on the red apple I stole from Elizabeth's bag and watched her try out the swords in the training grounds. She thought about it then continued to swing various swords around, "like the night before yesterday?"

I nodded, "was it really necessary for you to tell the girls now? It couldn't have waited until they, I don't know, reunited with Anna and Nikki? Or found Zaida?" Elizabeth stopped and looked at me, "no, it had to be now. And honestly I don't think we will ever be finding Zaida anytime soon.. If I didn't know any better I'd say she was dead. But if that was the case then I would have known by now." I nodded again then sighed, "about what you told the girls yesterday, what position are you?"

Elizabeth rose an eyebrow and then rolled her eyes at me, "why is that important?" She began testing out the swords again and I chuckled, "just curious luv."

She rolled her eyes again, "fine, my status is princess. Happy?"

I smiled, "what's the difference from your status and the girls?"

"The difference, is that they will become queens except for Anna, since she is the oldest she will be the heir to the empress title and will be as you would say, the boss. I won't be queen, I'll stay princess until I die and my daughters will be ladies not princesses."

I groaned, "your government sounds very complicated..."

She laughed and handed me a sword, "that isn't even the beginning. Train with me."

I smirked and we both got in position. "Ladies first." She smirked and charged at me head on, only to change direction and knock me off my feet. I groaned and saw her sword pointed at my throat and her face smirking with victory at me. "Don't go easy on me luv."

I got up and once again we got into position and fought. Our swords filled the air with their clashing sounds. I laughed, "for someone who lived in a world completely deprived of swords you are surprisingly good!"

She smirked, "thank you! You learn somethings when your two years in the underworld and have to fight for your right of independence."

I frowned, "what do you mean?" She kicked and I dodged.

"My parents have been wanting me to marry suitors they seem fit." I swung my sword and she blocked it with her own," I managed to strike a deal and so as long as I remain undefeated in battle I can stay single."

I smirked, "so you're saying that whoever beats you in battle wins the right to have you?regardless of who they are?" I blocked a series of blows from her sword and she huffed, "if you put it that way then yes. That was the deal me and my parents made." We began circling around each other, our breathing rigid and tired. I grinned, "must be hard for you to go through that for two years your grace."

She glared, "what did I tell you about calling me that?" I laughed, "forgive me oh great goddess I had forgotten." I could clearly see anger in her eyes. "That's it.." She charged at me and once again our swords clashed, her anger driving her every move. I laughed, "on second thought I take that back! You're weak! You're not worthy of me!" She gasped unbelievingly, and continued to lash at me with her sword. "You fucking prick of a man!" I laughed and we continued to fight over and over again. It was like that for about an hour.

"What is it your highness?! Tired already?" I taunted her and she fell for the bait. She moved fast towards me but I was faster and managed to dodge her attack causing her to fall flat on her back. She glared at me and I pointed my sword at her throat. I chuckled.

"I win." 

She looked at me confused, then her eyes widened in realization. "You didn't...."

I laughed, "I did! I guess you have no choice but to marry me." 

I heard a childish giggle and turned to see a young girl wearing a black dress, about the age of nine or ten, with blond hair and deep violet eyes. She also seemed to be holding a black wooden box.

Elizabeth stood up hurriedly and dusted the dirt off of her self, "Amethyst!"

The little girl looked at me and giggled, "want to know what's in the box?"

I laughed, "if it has diamonds and treasure in it I want none of it. I already have all I want."

The girl, Amethyst, giggled again and looked at Elizabeth. "Momma wants to speak to you, and daddy isn't very happy Nani."

I frowned and looked at Lizzy, who only nodded in return. "Nani?? What's that another name? And who is the little demon?"

She scoffed, "it means big sister in our language genius.. And this little demon is my little sister amethyst. Now if you excuse me I need to go talk to two angry gods...." Elizabeth left leaving me alone with the child. The child looked at me and smiled, " so it looks like we will be in-laws no?" She giggled, "if you get a dark dragon like mark on your left wrist that means they accepted you." She laughed only to disappear into thin air.

I sighed, "what an odd family..." I looked at my wrist hopeful to see the mark. But I saw nothing.

"She's almost ready my lady...." The voice of the scaly creature echoed through the cell. The pain caused from the chains no longer hurt. I felt numb inside and out. Nothing but blinding hate coursing through my veins.

"Free her from the chains.. She is now my right hand in this war." The heavy stone chains were lifted off of me, and I felt my muscles move with energy. The woman lifted my chin up slowly, making me look at her straight in the eyes. Her red piercing gaze sending ice into my cold veins.

"It's almost time Zaida... No...Agrona..." Her chuckle slowly turned into a blood thirsty laugh.

It's almost time..

Woahhhh three chapters in less than 24 hours?! Whaaaaat?? Whelp you guys here you go another chapter of hidden mischief! I hope you guys like it! ^-^ also just to clarify something, I know the name agrona is a bit weird but I had chosen it because I needed an name related to death. And this name was perfect since it was the name of a Celtic goddess of war and death. Pretty fitting if you tell me XD
