As we were walking home I started to feel things. I almost forgot they can feel what I do which is weird. "Are you ok Zel?" I tried to smile but he knew I was straining it. "Hang on." He turned half dragon. "Here hop on." I laid belly down on his back. I was really sweaty. "Shit you have a fever. We better hurry. Hang in there Zel." No response.
He rushed home as fast has he could. Then finally they got back home. "Hey we need help! Zelda is sick!" Someone must have heard because he heard some running. "Jet Ezra and Leon. Good timing. Something is wrong with Zelda." "Go ahead Leon." Said Ezra. "Yes Leon is a perfect choice. She has a fever. He is cold." He picked her up. "Holy hell. She really does have a fever. We better get the assistants." "We are here! Sorry we are late. We were right behind them, then they rushed." Said Scarlet. "Come on Nova. We might need you too." "Ok."
Nova touched her head. "She indeed has a fever. She will be fine. This is similar to when she was talking to the Gods. It has happened before. As for her fever, its best if she has an icepack and Leon beside her to cool down her fever to make her a little more comfortable." Said Nova. "Thank You Nova." Said Leon. "Just doing my job. Your welcome. OK we will leave now. Let us know if there are any changes. Also when no one is there. Someone needs to stay with her. I'll let them know." "Ok we will be going. Come on sis." "Ok Nova." Then scarlet and Nova left.
Leon held Zelda's hand, and put his other hands on her cheek. "Come back to us, ok? Please." Said Leon.
(In Zelda's head)
"I'm here again? Did I die this time? I'm confused. I looked around I didn't see anyone in the garden. Then all of a sudden, I felt a hand on my shoulder which scared me for a moment. Then I looked back. I was shocked by who I saw. "Mom! Dad! I ran up to hug them. They hugged me back. Then the Goddess came up with them.
"My child. I am sorry to have to bring you here again. There is something you should know. Something I have to give you as well." "Did I do something wrong? If so I'm sorry." "No Dear you didn't do anything wrong. You are a precious child. I'm here to tell you that the battle you are expecting in a couple of weeks is going to be sooner. It will happen in 4 days. Now I am going to give you a special power. I cannot tell you what it is. You have to figure it out for yourself. Use it as the last resort. It will tire you out. Now before you go, your parents have something to say. I will be leaving now." "OK sure." I said confused. "Mom. Dad. I miss you so much." "We miss you to baby girl. Now we don't have much time. First we have to tell you, you have a twin brother out there somewhere and he is the last sibling you have. Your birthparents didn't tell you. I'm sorry for not telling you what happened sweetheart. You wouldn't understand you were little." "I know mom. Its ok." "Now you need to find him as soon as possible. Don't worry he isn't hurt but he can give you extra power. His name is Kelton. I wish you got to be raised together. Last we checked, he was In the same village we lived. He may help in the battle to come." "OK sure. Daddy. Mommy. I miss you all so much. Jet misses you too even though he doesn't remember you. As for my other brother Archer, I don't know." "Oh he misses us too." "OK its time for you to go sweetheart." Said Father. I gave them one last squeeze. I heart them say they were proud of all of us until they were gone.
(Reality)
"Hmm. Uh Argh." Leon was asleep when he heard her Groans and woke up. "Hey Zelda. Are you ok now?" He took the cold pack off her head. "Yeah I am now. I have to tell everyone something fast." I tried getting up but Leon stopped me. "Easy now. You just woke up." He helped me up. "Walk with me Leon. Its important." "OK let me help you walk a bit." "Yeah thanks. I need to see Ezra. Its important."
We got to his door and I walked in with Leon. "Oh Zelda. Hello how are you feeling?" Said Ezra. "I'm better." I saw he was with someone. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to interrupt." "No need. I'm leaving. Nice to meet you princess Zelda." I shook his hand and he kissed it out of respect. I've felt that feeling before. Now its even more dangerous. "Ezra. Now that I shook his hand, its more dangerous than I thought. I found out I have a twin brother. He was last seen when I lived with my parents that died. His name is Kelton. I need to find him. They said that he would help me in battle. He will give me more strength. Also the battle is now in 4 days. I need to go back to my village ASAP." "We can arrange to go in about an hour. Leon will stay here and manage the stuff while I am away. Is that ok Leon?" "Yeah if it helps her of course." "Thanks Leon. Oh and thanks for keeping me cool when I was on fire." "Sure. No problem." "OK now. I better get ready for a battle. Oh yes as for that man Ezra. I need to know what you talked about." I sat down on the couch across from his desk.
I had a mild headache. "Hey easy." Ezra came over. "Looks like your fever is gone. You still need rest." "No I need to know what you talked about. Its important. I talked with the goddess again. So please." "Ok relax. You are still a little weak." "I know I'm not stupid." "Anyway. We were just talking about the upcoming battle. Now I have to tell him its sooner." "NO. Sorry no don't. I have felt his presence before. When Leon was being possessed. I think he is the one behind everything. That presence. I would know it anywhere. It was also the same presence when my mother and father. Well the people who I thought were and to this day are to me. I need to talk to my biological parents. Its important." "OK relax. Breathe. Once they heard you were sick, they came over. I'll go get them." I leaned back and closed my eyes for a bit. Leon was sitting with me.
Once I heard the door open, I woke up. My twin siblings, Jet, and Archer came in. My birth parents did too. "We heard what happened. Are you ok sweetie?" said my birth mother. "Yes I'll be fine. I had you all come here, cause I needed to ask you both about my twin brother Kelton." I saw them looking at eachother. Then my father spoke. "We didn't tell you about him, because he was kidnapped shortly after birth. It was a hard subject to talk about." "Well anyways. According to what I know, he is in the same village as I was raised with mom and dad. Before I went to live in the castle. I am going there in a half hour. I will have all my dragons with me. Plus my assistants. I should be fine." "Just be careful out there ok? Don't get yourself killed." Said my brother Grey. "You worry to much little brother. You too little sis. So you had 2 sets of twins and two boys huh mom?" "Yes well. It was tiring but we managed." "I can't picture having that many kids. I only want like 4. Not 6." Everyone just laughed. I laughed with them. "Ok now. Since it will take you awhile to get home, Mom dad. I need you to take Grey and Aria to the safe place. My big brother will protect me right?" Archer ruffled my hair. "Yeah I will. protect my little sister and brother." "Hey I'm not a little kid anymore ok? Now stop that." "Haha I did that all the time to you Jet." I know it was annoying. "OK we will do as you say." "Oh and before you go, Aria and Grey. I can train you when this battle is all over." "Yeah that would be fun with both of us." "Good. Now Leon will take you both to the safe house. I will leave when he gets back. I gave everyone a hug and told them I loved them. Then they left. I went up to my room to get cleaned up to meet my brother. Even though I would be in my battle clothes.
Leon finally came back. "Ok well. Be safe ok? All of your dragons are here. All 7 of them. Be careful out there ok?" I kissed him on the cheek. "I will come back to you. I promise." Then I hugged him one last time then Ezra escorted me out.
I saw everyone at the gate. "Hey everyone! Is everyone ready to go? If so lets go! If anyone has any questions, they can wait at the rest stop!" Then we all walked on to our destination.
I was wearing my purple Goddess battle outfit. I have a blue and Purple one. So 2 of them. About 2 hours later it was time to rest. I was so tired I felt like I was about to collapse. So Ezra caught me. "Thanks Ezra sorry." "Hey its fine. You just got over being sick. Now we have to go on a journey." He helped me lean against a tree. Hawk offered me water. "Thanks Hawk." Then he helped me drink it. "Ah. Thanks. Hey Hawk. Have you heard anyone named Kelton before?" "Sigh. I have something to tell. You. Rest a bit. I will tell you when you are more alert." "Good idea." I curled up between Ezra and Hawk. Then fell asleep.
An hour later I was well rested. Then Hawk told me about his past. "OK well. When I was little about 5 or 6 years old, I was hanging out with a few of my friends. One of those days, we saw a little boy no older than us. I had one of my friends tell an adult and I stayed with the kid. I asked him his name, but he didn't speak. Then I saw my father come over. He picked up the little kid and we followed dad home. when we got there, we tried everything we could to find out more about him, but we never could get him to speak. I treated him like a brother. He acted like any other kid and played with us. Except no speaking. Then one day we found him gone. I told my father about it, but he told us to leave it alone. He was with us for 4 years then he left again. The thing is, when I met you, I was shocked. You looked exactly like that boy when I saw you. I couldn't say anything about it for some reason. I guess I was stupid." "Hey its ok Hawk. I don't think its that he couldn't speak. I think he didn't want to. I have a feeling he was waiting to meet me before he spoke. I don't know why but, maybe it could be a twin thing." "Haha I hope your right Zelda." When we were done, we talked about the plan. I would give a signal if any danger were to happen. Ezra, Hawk, and my assistants would be the only ones coming while the others hid. Then we left again. It was time to fly. I flew on Ezra's back.
We got there at dark. We found out where the elder was, then we went to see him.
"Hello Zelda." Said the Elder. "Hello sir. I've come here to see if my brother I am sure you know. Is here. My twin Kelton." "Ah yes the Mute. He has actually been expecting you. He is not in here but at his home with his adopted parents at the moment. Here is a picture of his house. Its one of a kind you can't miss it." "Thank you sir." Then we all left and headed out until we saw the house we saw in the picture.
"Well here it is. Shall we?" I knocked on the door and we waited for someone to answer. Then we heard a voice and steps. A woman answered the door. "He has been expecting you. Please come in. All of you." When we went in, I heard the lady call Kelton's name. He came out quick. He had shocked eyes when he looked at us. He went over to Hawk first. "Yes its me man. Its ok. I understand." He nodded. Then he came over to me. He looks identical to me other than being a guy. Same length of hair yes and everything. "B-Brother?" He nodded. "Um excuse me. Is there a place we can talk privately?" "Yes. Kelton. Go to your fathers Office." He nodded. Then just him and I went in.
"I just recently found out about you Kelton. I'm glad to know I had another sibling. I just wish we could have grew up together, being twins and all. It would have been fun to trick our parents. I wish I could have done that stuff with you." He patted my head. "Ok enough about that." Then I cleared my throat. "Can you talk now? We are alone." He nodded. Then he said, "Yes I can talk now. I have been searching for you when I stumbled into Hawks village. When I was old enough to understand things, I Knew I had a twin out there somewhere. I knew I had to find her. I know you need help with the battle. I am old enough now that if I want to leave I can." "I have a question though. Totally off the subject but which one of us was born first?" "Haha first time meeting your brother and that is the first thing you ask? Well you are the oldest by 4 minutes. I was a little smaller than you were. When I was born, they had to put you next to me. I was always a weak child. Then I started gaining strength when we were near eachother. Now back to what we were talking about. I will go back with you. Jet and Archer are waiting." "Wait. Can you talk to others now?" "Yes I can. I had to wait until I saw you first to say something. I can't wait t meet my little sister and brothers. Our big brother too." "Oh yeah I have one of my fiance's here we better head out and not let them wait too long. Before I do, can I hug you brother?" "Yeah sure." I ran over and hugged him tight. Then I had a flashback of when we were babies. Once it was over, I let go of him. "Oh so that's what happened back then. They wanted me too but they didn't have time." "Hey its ok Ocean. Oh wait its Zelda now right?" "Its ok you can call me ocean in front of others, but privately call me Ocean." "Ok sounds good. Lets go."
We came out and Kelton acted like he still couldn't speak. He couldn't hold it in anymore. Then he spoke. "OK I can't joke around anymore. Good to be able to speak now." Hawk went over and hugged him. "Congrats man! Good to finally hear your voice!" "Yeah sorry about that." Ezra looked at me then at Kelton. "You two are identical in almost every way except for gender. "I know that's what I was saying to him as well. I mean Grey and Aria are twins but they are fraternal twins." "Yeah how are they?" "Good. They are in safety with the others." "Oh that's right. We have to leave don't we? We better hurry." He gave his mother and father a hug. "Thanks for everything. Mom and dad. I will come visit soon. I love you." "We love you too. Thank you for finally talking." "Your welcome." I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek. I patted my dad on the back. "Take care of mom till I get back ok?" "Haha will do son. Will do." Then he left with us back. "Oh yes this is Ezra one of my fiancés." "Nice you meet you prince Ezra." "Oh I forgot is it king now?" "Oh just call me Ezra for now. We can all be formal when we need to be." "OK thanks Ezra. These two must be your assistants?" Then Scarlet introduced herself as well as her brother Nova. "Well nice to meet you both. Thanks for taking care of my big sister." "Your welcome your highness." "Oh please just call me Kelton. I may be a prince, but I haven't seen or accepted anything yet." They agreed to call him Kelton and we finally met up with the others.
