MERCY DAY PRAYERS | In this week, I shall multiply in health and wealth and remain in the safe hand of God. My life and destiny shall remain protected and secured. God will measure me with greatness and flourish the fruit of my labour. This is our portion from the throne of mercy: as the sun rises daily, so shall our greatness and glory rise and never set. As the sun set in the evening, my problems and enemies will set and never rise again. Today, divine blessings, the highest grace, everlasting joy and the mercy of God will be our portion in Jesus Christ name. Amen. . .

Whumptober Day 12/11

alternate prompt 4: mercy

day 11 and 12 swapped for the sake of a better flow

life is calamity - LiS AU part 4

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | alternate ending

warnings: crying, goodbyes, drowning, major character death

--------------------

Zelda could not stop crying. She was dehydrated, her head was pounding, and yet, still the tears flowed. Her fingers dug into his tunic so tight, she thought she might rip it. There was an ache in her chest, something that had settled there what seemed like so long ago, and it was back with a horrid vengeance, digging its claws into her heart so it could rip it out. It was ruthless, twisting the vital organ into a pretzel, and there was nothing that was going to make it stop hurting, even as Link held her to him and stroked her hair like she’d wanted him to do for so long. It felt so intimate, so cruelly right, and it killed her that she would never have it. She would never have him the way she wanted.

Though the choice was incredibly difficult to her, the right one was so obvious. It was an old dilemma, one debated upon by scholars and feeble minded people alike: one versus many. The moral answer was simple. In times of disaster, it is most important to save as many lives as possible. Sacrificing one for the survival of many was as old as time itself. Hylia had done it, and the ancient Princess Zelda from the era of the Hero of Time did it, and she found it so cruel that the very thing she and all of her ancestors had to give up was the man they loved most in the world. Was it written in destiny that they weren’t ever to have a happy ending? They would always be expected to choose the prosperity of their people and kingdom over love. She was no different. 

“I’m sorry,” she croaked, but it was swallowed by the fabric she’d hid her face in. “I’m so sorry.”

“Zelda, it’s alright,” he told her, but she didn’t want to hear that. She didn’t want to be comforted when this was not something she would ever forget. 

“I don’t want to do it,” she said, holding onto him even tighter. “Please, don’t make me.”

“If I could take it from you, I would.”

Of course he would. Because he was always so perfect. So chivalrous and modest and determined to be a hero, and she hated it. Worst of all, she loved that about him. It was what made him so loyal and kind and good, and she loved him so much. It was a shame that she was never going to be able to express that to him. 

“Link,” she mumbled and raised her head to look at him at last. He gave her a smile, so genuine and beautiful and sad, and brought his hands up to wipe the tears from her cheeks. There was that violent squeeze to her chest again.

“Whatever you decide,” he replied, “I know it’ll be okay. I’ve always been willing to give my life for my kingdom, and for my princess.”

“You’re an idiot,” she accused weakly, raising a hand to wipe at her nose. Gods, she probably looked like a pathetic mess. “I wish it could be different.”

“It will be,” assured Link, and he sounded so convinced that she wanted to cry again. She just didn’t have the energy left for it. 

“I don’t understand why you have so much faith in me.”

“Because you’re Zelda,” he answered, as if it was the easiest thing in the world. “My loyalty was never sworn to the crown; it was always to the person wearing it.”

Zelda bit on her lip, trying to keep it from quivering, but it was no use. She was going to sob again, even if her eyes were dry and her body was holding on to what little hydration it had left.

“I’m sorry,” she repeated, although there was nothing it would do for her. “I… I must grant my people mercy. I must give you mercy and peace.”

“My life is worth very little if it means saving Hyrule from devastation.”

“Link,” she interrupted as she shook her head, and this time, she was the one to take a gentle hold on his face. “You’re worth everything to me.”

His expression slipped into something between surprise and hurt, and then it was nothing but pure adoration. 

“I will carry that with me forever,” he told her. Zelda offered him a small smile, but it was as genuine as she could manage. He smiled back when he asked, “Did you know you have a smile like the sun?”

“I love you,” she admitted, dropping her hands so that she could take both of his. “And I will always love you, for the rest of my life.”

It was a grand promise to make at such a young age. Zelda had one thought young maidens her age were silly for speaking of such a big, adult thing. But she supposed war and devastation were big, adult things too, and if she could have the weight of the world thrust upon her seventeen-year-old shoulders, if she could withstand the death of her friends countless times over, then she could harbor a deep affection for the boy that had gone through it all with her.

“That’s a long time,” he said, but his smile was growing by the second. It felt horribly wrong to be smiling at a time like this, when she was about to send him to a fate he would not have a chance to recover from. If it could’ve been any other way, maybe she would’ve chosen to save him–but there were too many lives at stake. Either it worked, or her kingdom was going to fall to Calamity Ganon’s grasp either way, because they had no hope of beating the ancient beast of hatred. 

Zelda chose mercy. She chose the good health of many over the survival of one, even though the one was a boy with many titles: the Hero, the Chosen One, the Knight with the Sword that Seals the Darkness, Champion, Silent Knight–and the only one that mattered to her was simply Link. 

He pulled her closer, pressing an all too short-lived but tender kiss to her lips, and she wanted nothing more than to do it again and again. Instead, when her body lit up with the golden glow of the sacred powers, she held onto him tighter. Even when that pull, the sensation that would drag her backwards through time, gripped her in a choke hold, she tried to make it last. Link was the last thing she wanted to see and feel before she was a child again, followed ever so closely by death that, for some unfathomable reason, refused to take her with it. 

And then she let go, willing the days and months and years to reverse, until she opened her eyes to find herself standing on the cliffside of the castle moat. It was a day she knew well, a day that haunted her, and she couldn’t explain to her father why she was sobbing as she turned her back to the water, where she knew a little boy had just fallen in. No one would see him this time, or cry out to gain the attention necessary to grab him. Link would be submerged at twelve-years-old, never to breathe anything but murky water again. 

It was a quiet day in Hyrule when she knew he was being buried.

When she turned twelve, there was no knight stalking into the sanctum with the Sword that Seals the Darkness. Her father did not come into her room to tell her of a great prophecy foretelling the doom of the kingdom. When she was fourteen, she was given the choice on whether she wanted to pray. Zelda declined as politely as she could. The only thing she would pray for is peace for the soul of the boy she loved. When she was fifteen, she helped local Sheikah researchers in their task to find ways to enhance the performance of Hylian soldiers. The ancient technology took far longer to unearth. When she was sixteen, there was no laser and no small knight jumping in front of her. She did not even leave her study.

When she was seventeen, there was no Calamity. Nothing stirred, not even a cloud, when she met with her father and her godmother to celebrate. Link had been right: he never pulled the sword, so the beast never woke. She could not even find it in her heart to celebrate, because so much was different. She did not have the friends she had in the Champions. She did not have Link. She had nothing but a life she felt she didn’t truly belong in.

But her kingdom had been granted mercy, spared from the hands of a dark and violent end; was it wrong of her to hate that?

Photos: 11th Grade Christian Lifestyles students make bag lunches for the homeless and those living in poverty in the Williamsburg area on September 25. Students created over 100 meals of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chops, and bottles of water, which were delivered to Fish and the Pineapple Inn. The project was done in honor of both Mercy Day and Pope Francis' first visit to the United States.
