Prologue

Only those close to His Majesty knew all details pertaining the guest's presence in the sacred land of Hyrule. Councilmen that had once whispered and argued among themselves in search for a solution, now stood solemnly across the tall open windows, faces as composed as the mood would let them.

Wind ruffled the long burgundy curtains, the dying light of the sun giving an orange hue to all things it could touch. The King bowed at the neck before the presence of the other, who mimicked the gesture, and with a gesture of the Hylian's hand the other was invited to take a seat. Pleasantries were voiced despite the tense atmosphere that had been hanging over their heads for the past decades, careful and small smiles that held no happiness whatsoever curved both rulers' lips, and the small stack of paper was placed in the middle of the table, signaling the end.

The end of years and years of grudge and dislike. Always in the brink of war, but never making it to the part that required bloodshed, both kings had finally come to a conclusion together and agreed to do something that would change the fate of both civilizations.

Two quills, one white and one black, were placed by their hands to symbolize the light and the dark. Tips were dipped in blue ink then dragged across the surface of the paper, curving lines into letters and molding words, each ruler signing their name where required. As a last act, each reached for a dagger hidden in the confines of their coats, and upon exchanging them, they slashed the tips of their thumbs, the cut quickly reddening with blood, and pressed them on paper, leaving a mark by the end of their names.

Light had finally become scarce, prompting one servant to walk about the room lightning up a series of candles as the two at the center wiped their blades clean and hid them from sight. Standing from their seats, their uninjured hands met in the middle for a shake, and the King of Hyrule guided the other to the grand doors at the entrance of his castle, the councilmen tailing behind as their guest, and now ally, commented on the decoration and complimented the kingdom.

Upon reaching the entrance, they met with the sole heir of the Hylian throne as she returned from the gardens, accompanied by her caretaker. The other king lowered himself to one knee and touched his palm to the crown of her head, pale lips pulling in a smile that was returned by her. "You will love it there, Your Highness." The princess only smiled and nodded, uninformed and oblivious to the contract they had just signed, and walked up to her father as the other ruler increased the distance between both races.

The Hylian king bowed his head in return as the other did the same, hands coming to rest on his daughter's shoulders as the man before them decomposed into black pieces from head to toe, all of which flew up towards a circle in the sky.

As the portal shrunk and eventually disappeared, His Majesty allowed himself to breathe properly again.

The only thing left to do now was wait for twenty years.
