Nikki's pov****

"Imma miss you Lizzy.." I hugged the new gerudo Queen and she did the same. "Don't worry nikki I'll be fine, you four need to stick together ok? And learn how to fight." I nodded a bit confused as to why she wanted me to learn to fight but eh I didn't worry too much about it. Link walked up to us and hugged me from behind, "we need to go, I don't think the princess and your husband will be ok with seeing each other for a few more minutes." Elizabeth laughed, "alright then. Be safe guys." I smiled, "don't worry, we have a dragon a ninja a hero and four Dragomir principessas that know how to control their element." Elizabeth rose an eyebrow, "what's that? you got your powers??" I stiffened, "umm.. No... But still? Links been teaching me how to use a sword since the huge plant attack.." Lizzy giggled approvingly. We all got on our horses (with the exception of sheik and Anna who rode Aaron) and began to journey back. I looked at my sisters and sighed, Celeste said she would join us eventually so only Seira Anna and I were going back to hyrule. Why does Celeste always have to get herself in trouble?

"Nikki?"

I hummed acknowledging link, he looked confused and stressed out. "I was thinking about what happened before we came to the desert. About the plant incident." I nodded understanding what he was talking about, "what about it?" He took a deep breath then sighed, "deku babas take half a year to reach the size that one in your room reached in two minuets. Or so what Aryll told me.." I frowned, "so you're telling me that a plant that usually takes six months to grow that much, defied all laws of life just to attack me?" Link shook his head, "I don't think it was done on purpose. And if it grew that way then it was because some kind of magic came in contact with it.."

Magic? There was no one but Aryll and I in the room. "I highly doubt that li-" link cut me off, "nikki I think you already discovered your powers. You just haven't realized it." I frowned, there was no way I discovered my powers that's just ridiculous. But maybe he's right.. "What are the chances you're right?" Link laughed, "I would love to have fi right now to answer that question. But I don't doubt they're pretty high. If what Vaati said was true then we had a traitor that knew about all the girls' powers. Especially yours." I scoffed, this is unbelievable. I have power over plants yeah right as if I'm going to believe that. "Listen link I doubt that what you're saying is true. Maybe it is maybe it's not but until it happens a second time I doubt it's true." Link stayed quiet and didn't press on the issue.

Celestes pov****

I sighed angrily and roughly set one of my dress down in the bag. "Nethrethem I swear if you keep trying to prove dominance over dark I will send you back where I found you.." Nethrethem chuckled staring at dark with his golden red orbs from the balcony doors. "I feel it will be soon child. I can feel the complete virsinia beginning to form" I huffed a bit annoyed as I got my things together preparing for my trip to hyrule. Dark watched me and then looked at the black dragon with a rival look in his eyes. Honestly males are so damn annoying.. "So what is this complete virsinia you keep talking about??" I stopped and looked at dark wondering the same thing. What is that?? Nethrethem laughed, " it's the mother of celestes blood. The mere embodiment of power. An eclipse that will be visible from all the realms and that will take three hours in totality." Three hours? Three hours is enough to.... I gasped and my eyes widened "I'm leaving to hyrule now." Dark frowned and hugged me from behind, stopping me in the process, "no you are not. You're waiting until tomorrow and there's no discussion about it. I'm not letting my two month pregnant girl go and travel after that little display a few hours ago with the lizard." Nethrethem snorted a bit offended by darks nickname. I rolled my eyes, "dark I have a feeling I know where zaida is and if I'm correct then that means hyrule's downfall. I need to go and tell them now. And by the way I just hit ten weeks yesterday which means I'm a little over two months thanks for remembering." Dark opened his mouth then shut it again. "If you're so worried about me then come with me. I doubt nyx will mind if we leave her behind for a day." Dark sighed, "ok fine. But you're eating before we go. you haven't eaten anything since last night and it's about to get dark out." I groaned, "dark we don't have time for this!" He glared, "I don't care I'm not risking it." I huffed. Ok so I'm not winning this fight. Fine. Whatever. "Just get me something good." Dark smiled and left. "What are the chances I'm wrong..." Nethrethem looked at me with a knowing look in his eyes. "None child.. None.." I closed my eyes, a worried tear barely managing to escape. Zaida.. My baby sister...

Anna's pov****

It had only taken us a few minutes to reach hyrule on Aaron. To kill time and wait for the others Volga insisted on training me, much to sheik's dismay.

"Sloppy!"

I huffed as I attacked Volga once again only to have him easily dodge me. "A Dragomir's movements when attacking are graceful! Lethal! And most importantly quick. You are not trying." I glared, "excuse me?! How would you know I'm not trying?!" I created another fireball and sent it straight towards him, he evaded it and brushed it off as if it was nothing. "Again. That was weak. Try feeling the flames in your hand, try connecting with your element. You're running from it, you're denying it. A Dragomirs element is an extension of their body and soul. Learn to use it." I nodded, sending a roundhouse kick to his face and doing as I was told with the fire ball. Only to have the same results. Volga shook his head, "this is shameful Anna. Shameful indeed." I bit the inside of my cheek, not saying a single word. "I think Anna has had enough.." I heard sheik seethe at Volga. Volga growled and banged his staff on the floor, "don't interfere kid! You have done nothing to train her-"

"Don't tell me what I did or didn't do! I trained her well to fight PEOPLE."

"EXACTLY! People! You trained her to attack people! Human self defense! Roxanne isn't a human you insensitive fool! And I out of all people should know her power! I've seen cities, armies and even a whole bloodline fall to her mercy! I've seen her almost eradicate the whole Dragomir family and I won't let it happen again!" I quietly looked at the ground. A feeling of uselessness washed over me and it took everything I could not to cry out in desperation. I'm hopeless..

Rosh came over to see what all the fuss was about and once he saw me he spoke, "Volga you shouldn't be hard on her she's trying."

"No she's not! She's hopeless!"

That was it, I snapped, "WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? I wasn't born and raised into this mess!" Volga glared and pointed at me, "you see?! There's the problem! Anna you keep denying your blood your family and your mother! You keep thinking that if you go back to California everything will go back to normal! Anna you were never born a human, you. are. not. human. Your job is not to live a happy life as a Californian girl spending your money and watching neflix or whatever but to watch over the realms and keep erebos from breaking free, THAT is your job! Your job is to be a ruler, to protect! Not believe some weak fairy tale of a happily ever after THAT DOESNT EXIST!" I glared back at Volga, rage and hatred boiling in me. How dare he say all that about me?! "How can you say that?! How can you call me weak and a fool if I know better than anyone else Roxanne's power! I was attacked by her!" He scowled, "Then you should know first hand that this is not a game nor a dream Anna. This is reality. And you need to let your past as a regular California girl go because that is not you. Prove to me you're not incompetent prove to me you're no weak fool." I only glared, Volga shook his head in an ashamed manner. "You aren't worthy of being heir-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" I felt my body go limp for a couple of seconds as A burning sharp feeling spread through my body and just like that vanished.

I heard rosh whistle, "damn is it me or is it hot in here?? Ancients Anna you almost caused a damned forest fire."  I blinked a couple of times clearing my vision of the black dots and saw that indeed the whole area surrounding us is charred and burned.

I did that???

"Indeed you did child. Strong attack that doesn't require you to move at all. Many don't survive their first attempt."

Fuck me....

Volga smirked, "I see I have been proven wrong." Aaron chuckled loudly and sheik sighed, "that's enough for today she's exhausted as is. I won't let you push her limits." He walked towards me, helped me up and began pulling me towards the castle. Before we were out of earshot I heard Volga laugh, "she has potential to surpass even maya. She just doesn't believe she can do it." I sighed, what are the chances of that happening though....

***･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･. ･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･***

The dark room gave out its usual terrifying aura. The lizalfos trembled, kneeling before the bringer of destruction.

"M-miss-"

"Prepare everything, I want you to attack now. Hit and capture the vital towns of hyrule. Kill their sources of food and water. Do it quick, leave none alive." Agrona spoke with such coldness in her voice that the young lizalfos feared. Lady Roxanne had wanted the attack to be during the complete virsinia but agrona had different plans. Starve and weaken the enemy. Kill their hope. And when her power would be at its peak she will give the final blow.

"W-what would be your first set of action miss ?" The lizard spoke. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes, "send the spinae. Have them weave the cities into their lethal web. Then send the first quarter of the troops." She then turned away, cueing the creature it was his time to leave. She would make the principessas go through hell...

Anna's pov****

*the next morning**

I felt someone caress my cheek and I opened my eyes only to be met with crimson red orbs. I yawned, "Mornin..." Sheik smiled, "you snore when you sleep." I narrowed my eyes. Is this why he woke me up? Damned asshole.. "Whatever..." Sheik chuckled as I snuggled close to him, forcing him to hug and cuddle me. "How are you feeling?" I frowned, "what do you mean?"

"You've been looking really pale lately and don't think i haven't noticed you blacking out for a minute during your fight with Volga." Oh yeah... "It's just the effects of the spell don't worry about it." He sighed and nodded, getting up to get ready for the day. "Are you going to get up or-" I groaned, "I'm too tired I'll just take the day and stay in bed all day.." He rose an eyebrow and nodded kissing my forehead before leaving. I honestly feel like shit, and it wasn't because of the spell I used yesterday. I've been feeling like this since lizzy's wedding. Nausea, dizziness, and I'll even admit I've been more bitchy lately. I'm just tired, a day's sleep will fix me up.

I hope...

Vaati's pov****

The fire kept crackling and I continued to stare at it. An uneasy feeling washed over me, making me shudder instantly. I was worried to be honest. Worried about Seira and the girls.

The door to my office opened and the familiar white haired demon calmly walked in. "You too?" I nodded, knowing what he meant. "I have a feeling Roxanne will make her first move soon.. I just don't know how soon." Ghirahim sighed, "it sickens me to know that wretched bitch is out there and zaida has yet to be found.." I bit my inner cheek and began tapping my pen. Should I tell him what I saw? If I did how would he react? I sighed, it was only right for him to know. "Ghirahim there's something you should know.." Ghirahim chuckled and poured himself a glass of wine. "What? Is Seira pregnant?" I laughed, " if only that were the case. But all jokes aside. Ghirahim I know where Zaida is." Ghirahim froze, leaning against the fireplace listening intensely. Seeing as he didn't react I continued, "the reason we couldn't find her is because, Roxanne got to her first." The glass in his hand shattered, the pieces of bloody glass covering the floor around his feet. "She's not dead if that's what you're thinking-"

"SHES NOT DEAD BUT YOU'VE BEEN LETTING HER SUFFER! You KNEW where she was yet you did nothing! Had it been Seira and you'd run to save her! But NO! KEEP ZAIDA'S LOCATION A SECRET! LET HER SUFFER IN ROXANNE'S CLAWS! Instead of helping her, instead of at least telling me, you stayed quiet like the rat you fucking are! TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!" He slammed his fists on my desk angrily. I stood up a bit aggravated, "don't talk about what you don't know! If I had the chance I would have helped her! It was too late by the time we fo-"

"WE?! WE!!?" Ghirahim angrily threw everything from my desk to the floor, face red with rage. "WHO ELSE KNEW OF THIS?!?" Before I could respond ganon and Elizabeth walked in. Ganon scowled, "what is all this fuss about?!" Ghirahim laughed maniacally, "what's wrong? What. Is. Wrong? I'll tell you what, HE" he pointed angrily at me and I'll I could do is sit back on my chair and rub my temples, "knew were Zaida was all this damned time! All this time instead of telling me instead of rescuing her HE LEFT HER TO ROT AND SUFFER AT ROXANNE'S MERCY!" Elizabeth looked at me with confused tears in her eyes. "You knew where she was?" I nodded. "And you did nothing?" I nodded again.

"There wasn't anything to be done your highness. It was too late to do anything for her. There was no hope for her left." I looked up and saw nyx walking in with a straight cold face. Elizabeth frowned, "you could have at least told us! Let us know that she was alive-"

"What's the point? She's better off dead. She's not the same Zaida she was before. You shouldn't hesitate to kill her if you see her now. She will kill you without any hesitation." Elizabeth left, walking out of my study in a hurry, tears trailing down her cheeks. Nyx looked at the three of us, "these are dark times now. Trust nobody." She then walked away.

"Not even your allies..."

Anna's pov***

"THE WHEELS ON THE BUSS GO ROUND AND ROUND!" I felt the side of my bed dip heavily, causing me to bounce slightly. I groaned, "not today...." Rosh laughed, "what's wrong couz??? You feeling sick?? Have you been naughty???" I scowled and hit rosh with my pillow. "Shut the fuck up and leave me alone!" Rosh laughed and laid down next to me. He then took out a lighter and began playing around with a small fire ball he had created, "remember that game you used to play as a kid? The one where you shouldn't let the balloon touch the floor or you die??" I scowled and laid on my back next to him. "Yeah what about it."

"Let's play it, but using this little fireball instead."

I frowned, "really? Really rosh? Fucking really??" He laughed, "yep! Come on play with me I'm bored!" I sighed, "ok but I'm not getting up." He nodded, "fine with me!" He tapped the little fireball and made it bounce towards me. I did the same and we kept it going for a while.

"Wanna know a little secret?"

I hummed in response but continued bouncing the ball. "You don't need to give up your happiness to be the ruler of sajira." I frowned, "what?" Rosh groaned, "Anna you let the fire go out!" I blinked and indeed the little fireball had extinguished. He created a new one A few more minutes passed. "You know, none of the previous queens knew how to be queens." Again I frowned and the little ball almost extinguished. Had rosh not caught it.

"What do you mean?"

He smiled, "mufasa isn't dead!" I glared and hit rosh, "stop playing around and get to the point!" He laughed and got off the bed," the point is the edge of a sharp object! No one can get to it unless they're at the edge of a place!" I huffed annoyed at him, "you remind me of rafiki from the lion king.."

"Hmmm a baboon! Never been called that before!"

I rolled my eyes and laid down with my back facing him. Honestly he's so childish... "Couz why so sleepy? Need a bedtime story??" I growled, "I need you to leave me be."

"Ah the bees! Such wonderful beings!"

What the fuck?!? "Can I just get some peace and quiet?!" He laughed again, "what's quiet??" I turned around very aggravated and glared, "obviously not you." He smirked, "what are you?" You have got to be kidding me... "What do you mean what am I?! I'm a woman-"

"Nooooo! Again, what are you?"

"What do you mean! I have boobs I'm pretty sure I'm a woman!!"

Rosh laughed and began bouncing on my bed, "that's not what I'm asking!!" He said in a singing tune. "ROSH BE MORE CLEAR!"

"But then you'd be able to see right through me and that wouldn't be a pleasant sight!" I huffed and sat up straight, "you aren't a pleasant sight right now..." He clicked his tongue and lifted his index finger at me, "but what is it you see??" I glared and crossed my arms, "I see an annoying man that acts like a child and won't leave me alone!"

"No you don't!" He then stopped bouncing and smiled sweetly at me, "you see a six hundred year old vampire warrior that will always protect his family. You keep seeing things you don't want to see. You keep feeling the phantoms you create to run from the things you think you see. When I asked you what you were I wasn't referring to you gender or name or birth. I was asking you to see your purpose-" I scoffed, "my purpose?! Everyone says my purpose is to rule and have kids-" Rosh shook his head, "that's not your purpose in life Anna. A empress doesn't rule. Verona, Adea, and aleika didn't rule. They loved. They taught. They cared. It was verona's love what kept erebos from killing your mother and all the inhabitants of esmera. It was aleikas caring feelings what allowed to imprison erebos. And it was Adea's teachings what prevented the future generations from making the same mistakes. Ruling isn't about making rules, looking pretty in diamonds and tiaras or being protected in castles and using fourteen types of silverware. Ruling is about showing people what they can accomplish. It's about loving your people and giving them everything you have to offer. You don't have to live the strict stereotypes that the earth has put on for royalty." He chuckled and began petting my head, "you don't have to live in a cage your whole life. Live freely, and give your people everything you have to offer in the process." Having said that rosh left, leaving me alone to think deeply about what he said.

And He's right.

I was running.

But not anymore.
