Zelda Mask of Eternity, a short story by Jacob Malewitz, on Zelda Heir to Medallion

 Zelda Mask of Eternity

By Jacob Malewitz

Heir to Medallion Empire, Zelda 500

Red Athens, 500

Transformers, 2

Athens was north. Sparta was south. The empire had fallen. There was a king in the east, a king away from an empire, a fallen king, a fallen soldier, who thought the empire of Eternity was lost, to the southseas, to the southseas, and his name was Zelda. He said: “Find my mask of eternity, win my lost kingdom, to no eastern fleet.”

Empires fell before. The empire lancers and empire knights were the kings of before. Zelda was the king of now, but a fallen king, a knight in imperial armor once, but not a samurai, but a paladin with a kingdom of the southseas. His journey for the mask of eternity is this. His journey to Athens, from the southseas was good, was just, and was lost to a host of villains, evil knights and kings in his lost empire from the northseas. Zelda was a hero. Zelda was wanting to know Link and his kingdom.  Link was what: his brother, his second in empire, his dark red king who turned; maybe Link knew of other stories.

Empires had fallen. Empirelancers were good. Empireknights were sometimes bad. And they knew of the evil fleet, the fleet that had taken Zelda to the highwall, the eastern guard, the western guarde. Zelda was a king, but young wasn’t, and was only a holder of a few blades knew, to beat the evil knights and evil kings of another empire.

“Zelda, you are a fallen king,” said a queen to Zelda, in his trapped castle.”

“Why am I here, where is the mask of ethros, the mask of eternity,” said Zelda. Zelda was tired, Link was away, and he wanted to go home and win the empire lancers, the empire knights, and win back the empire. But he didn’t know how. Now, now, he was trapped in a castle with twenty paladins and an evil queen, a dark king in the south with his empire. He wanted his journey back. He wanted to see some new win for him, like helmet, armor and swords, the mask of eternity. This could be his win for a loss, for his journey to reclam Eternity.

“Zelda was not a samurai.”

“Zelda is not supposed to be a samurai.”

“Zelda never trusted shogun.”

“Zelda was respected, but never by samurai.”

The empire of Eternity. The empire of the southseas. The war of chronicles. A war of fleet. The win of empire is never Eternity, but Zelda thought, with the mask, maybe he could do this, and win back hyrule, the southseas.
