Kaira stared seriously at the boy. “I’ll tell you if you do two things. First, tell us your name, and second, swear loyalty to the Crown of Hyrule.” “I’m Fin, but why do you want me to swear loyalty to the Crown when there’s no Crown to be loyal too? The king and queen are gone,” the boy replied. “Oh, the Crown isn’t gone yet,” she replied. “Are you loyal or not?”

“Yeah, I guess,” Fin answered. “What am I supposed to say? ‘By my life, I will be loyal to the Crown of Hyrule and never act against it,’ something like that?”

“Good enough,” Kaira told him, never having actually learned what oath she was supposed to ask for. “You wanted to know who we are. These are my friends, Aziza and Cris, and I… I am Kaira, Princess of Hyrule, heir to the throne even though there’s no physical throne anymore. That answer your question?” She rolled her eyes at Fin’s look of astonishment. Before he rehinged his jaw and asked anything more, she told him, “Yeah, I’m that princess that nobody really thinks exists, I’m Zelda’s older sister, and no, I don’t know what happened to my parents.” Fin kept gaping. “I guess you can go home now- this is Impa’s house, in Kakariko, you only have a few streets to go. That will be all.” She fought the urge to laugh as Aziza and Cris ushered Fin, still staring, out of the room.

After Fin left, Kaira and her friends set about cleaning the house up. “I’m glad he’s on our side now,” grumbled Cris, “but he didn’t have to make such a mess.” Kaira couldn’t agree more, picking up overturned furniture, cleaning up bits of broken glass, and pulling Fin’s needle-knives out of the walls. Eventually the house looked almost normal again, although there was nothing to be done about the scorch marks.

Following the break-in, quiet returned to Impa’s house. Spring was beginning, and Kakariko became busy again. Farmers who lived in town for the winter were departing; merchants from the desert and Ordona passed through, and the weather was warm enough for people to stay outside again. Nothing happened all spring. Summer passed similarly, and autumn. Hyrule’s citizens went about their lives as though there was no threat of Ganondorf- and there did not seem to be any. Kaira, Cris, and Aziza continued to train anyway, knowing that this was just the calm before the storm that would surely come. Kaira visited Malon a few times, occasionally helping to train Epona, now a yearling. For a time of war, when the king and queen were absent, things seemed to be going extremely well in Hyrule.
