The quest
Previous ChapterRarity and FlutterShy walked towards the castles gate, their legs shaking at the sight of Hyrule Castle towering over the village
Of Hyrule. " HALT! who are you and state your buisness," a guard asked haughtily giving them a hard glare.
" We... Rarity began walking up to him are your King's acquaintance who have been summoned and he wouldn't want you to damage his loyal servants, wouldn't he? she said in her most elegant voice she could muster.
"Ah I do apologise, I hope everything is to your liking? The guard bowed low.
Yes indeed very, come along FlutterShy, we have a meeting to report to the king our findings" Rarity lied smoothly, tossing her head up high, she pretended she was a queen and walked gracefully through the garden. FlutterShy hesitatingly stumbled beside her. They stopped at another gate, but the guards sensing Rarity's stare steered a nearby wheel causing the gate to fall with a pop. FlutterShy squeaked and clutched onto her arm. They continued until they got to the throne room.
King Harkinian watched them enter. He held a goblet between his fingers and with a yell he flung it at the wall, red juice the colour of blood stains dripped down. " WHO ARE THESE CHILDREN!?
" Y- Your highness w-we thought they are your servants" replied the guards, gesturing wildly at Rarity, the miss said so"
" Miss, Eh? well I''m King Harkinian and you are?
Rarity bowed low " Rarity, your highness and this is FlutterShy,"
" What queer names you have for a bunch of mere commoners" he huffed. Tell me travellers where do you come from, if not Hyrule and do not lie to me because you look nothing like us Hylians".
" We your Highness are actually from a place far from here, we are trying to find our way home and decided to have a little fun in this quaint place, you call Hyrule" Rarity snapped, keeping her composure but with cold stiffness in her voice she knew she would soon boil.
" You must wait for the Picori festival then, children" King Harkinian replied kindly. " The festival is in order to find the new tri force. Today we would witness the Tri-forcer claim the Picori blade to vanquish all evil and to accept the Tri-force for it is a new beginning. " You may attend as my... Prisoners". GUARDS THROW EM IN THE DUNGEON! I DON'T TRUST THEM!
I'm royalty! how dare you do such a thing," Rarity spat, her horn shone brightly, she levitated a chair and flung it to the nearest guard. She continued flinging items with her levitation while FlutterShy shrank back, her eyes wide. Suddenly she grew tired and the guard swung his swords hilt connecting with her shoulder and she slumped down defeated, Rarity Noooo! FlutterShy screamed bending down and nudging her gently. Someone knocked her aghainst her back and she fell unconscious. " I wish I can protect her but Im nothing but a burden" she thought.
" FLUTTERSHY! darling please dont die, wake up and smile for me please," Rarity pleaded to the sky oh Celestia.
Rar, your ok" FlutterShy winced as she slowly got up. " I thought we would die". Rarity hugged her tight " I was scared for you, Shy" she muttered " That scoundrel of a king! Why I outta replace him and teach him some manners don't you think Shy?
" I'll like that very much" FlutterShy whispered, nodding approvingly. " What's going to happen to us? She said softly but Rarity caught her words It'll be great to go to the Picori festival and check out that sword I bet its a key to take us back to Equestria, where we belong". " Your right FlutterShy, we mustn't give up just because he caught us," Rarity smiled.
They looked around the cold, bleak dungeon searching for ways to escape, finding none they sat back disappointed and decide to wait for someone or an opportunity to break through. Suddenly there was light. In that light it revealed, a young girl with golden pale hair tied in braids,a golden circulet encased with a red jewel sat on her head. She had kind dark eyes and ears of an elf, her dress completed her attire. " My father has changed...he is not the kindhearted man he once was, please hurry or he'll find out". She led them upstairs. " Names Zelda by the way, princess of Hyrule and I get to decide who is our new Tri-force though dad is really hoping it might be Vaati" she shivered at his name and grinned hes a real tyrant but deep inside hes a sweet person...my dad I mean" . Rarity just nodded at the unexpected helper. Zelda led them deeper through the castle till they reached her room. She went into her wardrobe and took out some long dresses, one a pale yellow and another a red lace with a t-shirt combo. " These will do, hurry and put them on." Disguised and ready Zelda took them to the Picori festival outside.
Back to the forest.
Who are you, come out! Twilight yelled clearly frustrated that he disturbed their victory over the Deku.
" Promise, you won't hit a Hylian on sight," the voice called " If you can't then I'm not coming out".
" We promise no, we Pinkie promise" Pinkie said hurriedly, cross our heats and hope to die, stick a sword through our lives we won't hurt you". Convinced the figure stepped forward. He had blond hair tied in a ponytail, a green hat on his head. He wore a mini green t-shirt and shorts. A sword and shield accompanied his back. "I am Link". Twilight she greeted warmly.
"Pinkie!! Pinkie cried bouncing happily.
" I was wondering if you would love to accompany me to the Picori festival? It's starting soon and I hope to become the one to bear the mark" Link explained while they walked through the forest that had entrapped them from the beginning.
"He's such a nice guy," Apple Jack said putting a long sword to her scabbard. " Your arm looks better too dash," she reported nodding in approval. " I'm glad" Rainbow Dash said unfolding her wings from her hoodie and letting the sun warm it. She sighed happily and gave a flitter. " We gonna check this festival out?".
" Off course it's an event I think Pinkie will jump out at" Apple Jack laughed perhaps Twilight will be interested if its scientific and Rarirty if there are princes". This way".
Hyrule Village-
" Welcome one and all to the Picori festival, much is to be celebrated here within the castle our decision of the Tri-force bearer and the leader of Hyrule" began King Harknian we are going to have so much fun with these festivities and I hope you all have a good time". "Good time my foot" Rarity thought as everyone mingled and talked to each other while she and FlutterShy stood at the back. Hours later, which felt like minutes passed, the horn hooted. Four tiny picori's lifted a heavy brown sword to the front of the room. They opened it. A beautiful shiny sword beckoned wavering at everyone's grasp. " Today henceforth we decide the- King Harknian began but stopped as two people were tussling on the ground Link and his enemy the sorceress Vaati a kokori. They hit the chest, and the chest slipped breaking the swordes into bits and the power loose.
" Who can help me now!? The kings wail hit them " I fired all my best soilders".
" I'll go" the mane six all said together, found each other in the crowd and started giggling up a storm, but something happened that stopped all of them in shock.
