"That's...not traditional to Hylian customs I'm aware...however it is a rare occasion between two males to be betrothed but given the circumstance its what has to be done," Dorephan said. Sidon nodded. "I'm sorry to say this is true. Vah Ruta will not work if we don't do what she desired..." He added. Link was red on the cheeks. "If it is what's good for Hyrule it must be done..." He said just above a mumble. Zelda turned to him surprised. "You were genuine about not remaining my knight?!" She asked stunned. "I didn't lie to ye princess," Link replied.

Zelda's brows knotted. "But we must fix the kingdom and rebuild my home! Who is to be my guard now?!" She asked worriedly. Link scratched his neck, while yes it was a massive deal to guard her majesty and assist in moving about the kingdom but many knights would jump at that chance no matter what. While there were no knights yet training or ready for Zelda, he knew the shieka would provide guards in a heart beat. "The shieka would be happy to aid you. I would be honored to train them along with Zora guards and soldiers if you wish," he said. "But I never lie to ye or monarchy love, and I meant it when I retired," he concluded. "I have a home in Hateno, its got a bed, oven, tables, books, and a desk for your studies. Promise you'll keep it in best conditions while I stay here to achieve the preparations...or you could stay at the inn at Tarrey Town. The innkeeper knows me," Link said. "Take my horse if you want," he added. Then Zelda stood there stupefied. "Link...why did you choose this path...?" She asked.

"I don't have any other choice do I? Given I'm to be a royal consort to the Zora kingdom," he said. Then Zelda was off to Tarrey as it were closer, and by morning to Hateno village. Sidon and Link were to enter the chambers of the Prince. So they did. Dorephan awkwardly moved his bottom to a side revealing a door like that of a attic door. Which opened for the two as they walked down the stairs. Sidon and Link stood in silence as they walked. Trying to lighten the mood between friends Link jokingly nudged Sidon's arm "It smells like your Dad's arse in here,".

Sidon laughed heartily. " I do wonder why that could be?" He teased gesturing to the door. Link snickered and gave a side shove to Sidon who nudged back. Only for him to stumble over his feet slightly. Link with his strength, caught him at the bottom of the winding glowing stairs. Their eyes meeting awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I just....I'm almost ready to be King and my legs are taking form like Father's...." He explained. Cheeks red as his main colors.

Link carried him like a baby. Sidon was shy for sure about the gesture. He was aware that he would have to ready Link for mating tonight. Something he feared with a man. He had attempted to mate before, but none of those suitors were able to bear him the offspring of the next royalty. It was good Link had showed when he did. Or else he would have had to choose from the guard and ask of them to challenge their own children in a training camp leaving the most capable one as the next heir. Of course what with Link having been chosen this would be more complex for sure.

       Link managed to aid Sidon to a nearby day bed beside an aquarium window. Sidon sat up. "Thanks. Soon I'm going to require the aid of a whole team of Zora to move me..." he mumbled. "Why is that so?" asked the young knight. "Tis cause I am coming of a mating age...s'costing my legs and mobility..."Sidon explained. Link's eyes widened. "Does it hurt ye?" He asked. Sidon laughed light heartedly.

       Sidon shook his head. "Only when I fall...on the plus side I'm more fertile," he teased. Link blushed. "Not yet, don't fret...Oi! That rhymed!" He said lighting up a tad to make Link relax. It only half worked. "What say ye we go deal with that bastard of a Lyonel out there eh? We kill the one on shatter-back, sell its guts and take the money to a tavern eh?" He said. "Sounds pointless and dangerous, given that for one its shock arrows will do horrid damage to ye given yer made more up of water than I, and fer another its going to return on the next blood moon," Link pointed out. Sidon sat up albeit shakily with a more proper straight and correct posture. "Link...thou hunts yes?" He asked.

       "Aye but..." Link's voice trailed off. He didn't wish to argue with a Prince let alone his soon to be husband.  However he saw where he was going with this. "We could use those shock arrows ye know, besides, thou hunts for survival and sport. So we shall do so together, for the sport of killing and the survival of shock arrows!" He chirped as he sat up and wobbled to the hatch that he could open in the floor and dive to the lake. "How will ye fight on foot with the way ye stumble?" Link called. "I'll use thy horse!" He heard before he watched the Prince slip out and fall to the lake below. Link sighed, grumbled, and followed as well. As he fell to the lake below he knew his Zora armor would protect him all the way down to keep him from shattering his ribs upon impact.

       Upon his dive he found himself to be under the water level per usual. Making the gutsy move to risk opening his eyes underneath the water for a change. Seeing there was a small network of odd tunnels and rooms like a home for some more wealthy Zora, and a hospital wing and a locked off treasury. He resurfaced and found his hands eagerly yanked by Sidon towards the cliffs. Sidon crawled on his hands alone upon reaching the lake's shoreline and using his nails to drag himself along the dirt and mud. Allowing Link the time to crawl out at his tail. Then rise to the Vah Ruta teleportation spot to hang glide and retrieve Links giant horse in seconds, stealing Zelda's-as she was still with the king-leaving a note with a large triple letter reading I.O.U. Then retreating to Sidon with the giant horse within the minute.

       Sidon managed to seat himself on the awkward large and loving beast that matched Sidon's own persona in size, clumsy, and yet majestic nature. Trotting speedily to Shatter-Back mountain fast enough for Sidon's arrows to collide with the horrid monster guarding its forgotten weapons. Giving Link the subtle okay to jump on the Lyonel's back from behind as he grabbed his most hearty weapon and stabbing its plot hard. Paralyzing the blasted beast of burden. Then striking it dead after with it immobilized.

       Link stood up and bowed to the prince as he was drenched in hot and smelly Lyonel blood and guts. Sidon smiled back as the horse back up a bit gaining the soothing few strokes on the nose from Sidon to soothe him. "You stink," he teased. Link gained a chuckle. "End of battle hug?" He teased. "Nooooooooooooooooooo" Sidon said making the horse trot off a bit. "Hop onto the other one and do go get cleaned! Upon the selling of its organs we can make enough to head to a nearby tavern!" He said excitedly. Link followed and merely called his horse every mile he went so not to stain the royal horse's white fur.

       Later on in the lake Link bathed as Sidon brought the giant horse to the shore and stepped carefully to the waves, finding that his feet worked most in the water. He could run to Link, and dive in such a large splash that it made a wave washing Link over and rolling him in the water. However this made him laugh rather than take anger as Sidon knew this would happen. Link snuck up behind him in the water. While he knew Sidon to be a stealth based person he was aware that he had his blind spots. Using this he got to tackle him in the water and topple down. Sidon laughed as bubbles released from his face. Link found the underwater view of lake Ruto to be more aesthetically pleasing from in the water.

       Sidon found that Link had finally been cleaned off as he swiped hair behind Links ear. Gaining a smile as he watched the bubbles float from his grin. Then not even three seconds after entry Link was up for air. Sweeping his hair back upon meeting the cold breeze. So he sunk to his shoulders and hugged his own body to warm him as he kicked in place to stay afloat. The air chilled him cruelly as he breathed. Then found Sidon to seemingly come up out of nowhere again and rather then knock him back to the lake he rather wrapped his arms around him and brought him the warmth again as he was draped in warm albeit wet arms and blanket like silk fins. Links eyes shut as he was nuzzled and embraced, knowing that he hadn't had much to bond with and yet they were getting married, the question was when.

And what the hell was he supposed to do?

       Links mind wondered at the possibilities... Perhaps as royal consort he would be allowed to train the young royal guards or something. Then Link felt Sidon's arms as they stroked his back, knowing goosebumps were there on his spine from the breeze. "You cold?" Sidon asked. To which Link nodded as his face was between his pectoral muscles. The feeling reminded him of when he was laying with Mipha and had his face on her bosom after to hear her heartbeat and the sounds of her singing him to sleep. When he would touch her, he felt much like he felt now. Warm and cold, soothed as shivers tickled his nervous spine.

       "Perhaps the tavern will bring warmth...? Or I could um...do something if you ask..?" Sidon said extending his silk like fins as blankets. Link shyly put his face to the side as he no longer had to float on his own knowing Sidon was going to protect him. He felt safe for a change. He felt like he didn't rely on a blade or bomb to protect him. Link actually felt nice knowing he was at the mercy of a man he could trust. "Whatever you want to do, I'm at your mercy and I'm not to complain at all in the slightest. You're the Prince," said he as Sidon blushed shyly as he swam ever so gently to a rock and laid Link upon it ever so gently. Link relaxed on the hot and sun kissed rock as he hadn't even noticed Sidon's shadow looming above him about to strike. However he felt his hot breath on his neck milliseconds before the feeling of teeth and claws, making him cry out in anything but pain.

       Link gasped out in pleasure as he felt it. He felt Sidon. His kisses and soft bites. Not even once did he draw blood or even leave a mark but yet he felt poisoned as his heart raced and his palms were sweaty. His feet buckled and went limp under the weight of Sidon's massive hips between his legs. However the only feeling he had was to his neck. Those teeth were beginning to dig. Digging deep enough in fact for Link to release a soft grunt.

       Sidon's cheeks were hot. But he knew this was normal. Having lived for hundreds of years there was certainly a reason for having a fan club, save for the little girl who liked him as she was way too young of course. Sidon had never produced offspring, but knew what he was missing. He needed to get them hotter so that he could actually lay the eggs in the right spot. The tightened spot he had his fingers in was certain for the job as his two claspers came out of their hiding place in a flap of skin. Links eyes were shut. Unaware to the next act.

       "Link...open your eyes..." Sidon whispered. Link obeyed and saw his large awaiting appendages. "I'm not going to begin till you give the okay..." Sidon said, removing his fingertips from the now puckered ring of muscle. Thus gaining a whine of protest from Link. "If you want something twice as big as that just give me a sign your ready...and we can commence with the process and-" Sidon was grabbed by the jaw by Link as solid kisses came from him. Never before had he kissed Link as aggressive as this. "...ooooh...~" Sidon purred. "My aren't we excited?" He teased.

       In his frail tone and thick Celtic accented voice he whispered. "Do it," Thus within a short minute he was crying out as a result of a sudden shock of a good portion of only one member in him. It was a slow entry but a rough execution. Therefore Link could hear the soft pap of little waves in the water, then realised that was the only lube he would be getting like it or not. Then when he managed to adjust and adapt to the heat and thick length of Sidon, he felt an odd growth spreading from the base of the appendage slowly rising up through Sidon's cock. A round little egg, a perfect cylinder like a golf ball. This new feeling made Link shiver realising what it was for. Sidon shushed him as he could tell he were about to cry out from the sensation.

       Link arched as he felt there being thousands of thrusts as he felt another round shape slowly pushing. Slowly rising from base to tip to inside of his tight backside. He could feel them laying there in his stomach and rolling around as Sidon continuously pounded into him. He was sweating beads down his forehead. He was breathing rapidly with each pound as tears streamed. He wrapped his arms tightly around Sidon. Who then smiled and released a large load of the round little balls into Link. Each one making his ass gape and his moans louder.

       Sidon thrust into Link a few times only to break to place another egg in the opening. The feeling amazing to both men, up until the tense release of their climax. Then simply the eggs rolled out and into the lake. They would hatch later and come home. Until then Link would sleep in his arms as Sidon carried him to shore and dressed him. Then the two went towards the tavern for a night of song and drunken laughs. Keeping what they'd done to themselves. Sidon took Link to an old nearby place, the joint having those smoking hemp in their pipes and had beer and whiskey in their cups.

       Sidon had the lightest brew in the pub; a watered down beer. Meanwhile Link took a hard whiskey and was still able to walk out casually as if no flaw had struck him at all. Link was of course strong at drinking whiskey. Funny enough the large and muscularly Sidon was acting quite stupid under the effect of a simple beer. A fish got drunk off a watered down beer, if that wasn't funny to anyone it was to Link. Then Link got himself drunk as a skunk to the songs that made him dance and sing as a fool. One of the ones he caught himself humming and singing to himself being Before The Singers Sing. Which he had known little of their words as he only heard it once, but the tune haunted him everywhere he went.

       Link however woke up to find himself passed out in front of the Mipha statue. She stared almost judgmentally so. A tad hungover, but used to alcohol otherwise he stood up and resisted the need to retch up his own stomach acids into the fountain's water. He would have otherwise, had he not for one loved Mipha and for another there being children about. So he staggered to the side railing of the staircase as he vomited into the lake below watching it fall and splash. After however, he felt pretty good. Walking by was Bazz, who saw him and silently judged. "So sorry, but it was that or Mipha's fountain..." he said, following up by saying "How did I end up back out here...?"

       "Sidon carried you Master Link," he said. "He seemed rather disturbed and passed out at the bridge. He's a bit ill but glad your alright..." Bazz added. "Why leave me by the fountain?" Link asked. "It would be inappropriate to put you at his side in his bed without his okay, you two are still newly engaged after all," He said matter of factly. Link decided it best to hold back the urge to tell him that he and Sidon had in fact already commenced with the mating process. Which made his skin turn to goosebumps as he realised that soon he would find himself to be a father who gave birth. And in the strangest of ways. "I think he won't mind. But um...could you take me to him?" Link asked.

       "Sure thing," agreed Bazz. He was well in the royal guard and excellent in not asking many questions. As a loyal servant should be. Yet Link knew he himself was soon to serve as a high servant in the birth of the next heir. Assuming the rare chance he would outlive Sidon if something were to happen, then if Muzu were to die, following Bazz and eventually to him. It was one thing not to be the right race, but to add to that not even having the royal blood had out him at the back of the line high servant rank or not. Even he barely was a servant as that's how up there he was going to be. Then it hit Link that already Bazz was proving better at him in his own job he didn't even have yet, mainly cause he was asking too many questions in his mind.

       King Dorephan scooted to the side in the throne room knowing what Bazz and Link were doing already from having walked in. Link went down the staircase, once again making the "this place smells like a fish butt" joke and gaining a small chuckle from the normally serious sounding Bazz. For a change, Bazz was smiling a bit at the joke. Perhaps more so to get on Link's good side. This wasn't something Link was going to dwell on. He needed to make a habit of that. With that being said and done Link was drawn to a door leading to a short hallway with a beaded curtain at the end. "He was going through a phase when he chose that look, he designs his own room and not so much the interior designer...'more original and fitting' he says," Bazz whispered, gaining a grin off Link.

       Sidon had servants leaving with a bucket filled with a rancid scent of rotting fish and a sloshing as the nurses grumbled to themselves about work. Followed by the call of Sidon's thousand apologies in a very parched and gravelly tone. Link pretended that the smell wasn't making his stomach twist again as he realised the way he designed his room. There was a certain love for baby blue Sidon had apparently. It was light and pleasing, yet regal and not in a feminine sense. Even if it were it was visible this must have once been Mipha's bed chamber. The bed was one of the water beds with mockery or fishes through the see through mattress that stirred whenever its owner moved. Sidon however was not too keen on moving.

       Weapon displays lined the walls. Link recalled there having been tridents before but now knowing they were moved to the hallway he saw instead bows and arrows as well as some large and decorated silver shields with an occasional mace or triple headed flail. Sidon's walls were blue with white borders and were made of luminous stone crushed into the paper so that by nightfall the rooms walls were dark blue with veins of the same shimmer of a shrine. Link saw that the bed was decorated in white sheets with lace as if it were a fancy hotel with delicate blue stripes on the sheets and pillows. Link noticed Sidon's pale white palmed hand patting the side of the mattress next to him so Link could have a seat. He removed his shoes out of fear of being rude. Then bundled up in the sheets as Bazz turned and walked down the hallway, closing the opal door a few feet away from the beaded curtain of Sidon's room. It was then, Link noticed the curtain was made of pearls.

       "Link..." Sidon whispered with a dainty smoky voice. Link gazed at Sidon weak and a little tired from last nights events. "Last night when we bred...the eggs landed in the water yes...?" He questioned out loud. "Aye they did," Link confirmed with slightly pink cheeks. "Splendid...now its a matter of talking about the pub," Sidon teased to weak to nudge Link so he gently tugged his hand. Thus making Link relax from the thought of the fun of yesterday. Sidon held Link's hand delicately playing with his small fragile hylian fingers. "Your skin is so pink...there's no need to blush about what we did..." He said gently.

        Link relaxed a little and allowed himself to curl up in Sidon's arms. "It's odd the more I dwell on the thought....I've been trying for years to create an offspring and it was a male whom produced it..." Sidon said. This didn't change Links face growing hotter by the second. However he couldn't hide his smile. "Yer a perverted one ain't ya Sid?" He asked as he laughed a bit. "Aye indeed Link, its nothing surprising. I mean I've lived for around one hundred and nineteen years and thus of course I've mated a few times for fun...but coming of age is so...sudden," Sidon admitted. Link smiled and nodded, causing his forehead to rub up on Sidon's bicep. "I'm still a bit frail from my whiskey, its truly an embarrassing thing to have been so weak to a liquid of all things..." Said he, as Link then kissed Sidon's cheek. "I remember being light weight as ye once,"

       Then Link smirked and added. "When I was twelve..." Gaining a howl of laughter only from him and the cute glare of Sidon's amber colored eyes. "I see how it is..." Scoffed the Prince in a mock accusing tone. Gaining a playfully meant nudge from Link. "So how have your legs been?" He asked. Sidon wiggled his legs. "I haven't moved my legs much, although I might be able to walk again I've decided to wait this out at least until one of the nurses can get me a wheel chair..." Proclaimed the future king. Link nodded and rubbed on Sidon's pale white thigh.

       Sidon's gills gurgled with a foggy urge that haunted him often times. At least as of late since his legs went and damaged themselves. But soon they would fuze and this wouldn't be an issue much longer. Sidon chose to give Link what he was going for as his chest had a pounding heartbeat. "Last night, do you recall what happened?" Sidon asked. Link shrugged. "Me neither...but from remembering a little of been sober longer I'd say that we drank, you tried to dance on the table and I caught you. You flirted with the bar wenches and I directed the conversation towards leaving and took you home and we passed out before we got here..." Sidon said. "I'd say we killed a man," Link said. "What?! No!" Sidon laughed.

       "We killed him in cold blood on the Hebra mountain as the steam poured from his open wounds...we watched his soul escape his body in the freezing snow and slept at night like anyone else..." Link said with a dead voice and eyes to match before laughing with Sidon. "What? Why what the hell is wrong with ye?" He boomed as tears formed in his eyes from laughter. "We killed a man Sidon!"
