He could barely breathe.

Whether it be because of the fact that the wrappings upon his abdomen were a bit too binding, or because this meeting was actually happening... but without Zelda. While the young King had full trust in Artemis's ability to speak for the faction for his sister, her absence brought upon a somber ambiance to those who arrived. Many were not even aware fully of what exactly happened - only that she had managed to save the Legendary Hero, but now she had fallen into comatose.
[break][break]
No doctors or priests could figure out just what was wrong with her though; her sleep was simply holding her in a standstill - as though powerful magic was binding her to her rest, as though her mind and body relied on this interrupted sleep for survival. . .

Just what did Queen Zelda do to save her hero?

There was no time think about that though. As many council members waited for others to arrive, chatter rung in the atrium of mossy marble walls. Hands cusped just beneath his chin to allow his weight to rest, he kept to himself and withdrew from the conversations around him until the others were to arrive. Artemis to be seated to his left, Asthar to his right. Along the table would then be littered with leaders of each of the races, or city representatives--even the sheikah council! Those who all still held faith to the True Crown of Hyrule.

Boy, was he tired. And his eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier with every second passed. But Kura was quick to try and find a solution for his wound, giving up on the idea of bringing him to the medic before ripping at the tunic that covered his torso. Helping shake the baggy, ripping clothes from his upper body, he let out a grunt in pain from the exposed wound hitting the cold air surrounding them, as his hand immediately pressed into his side to protect the open cut.
[break][break]
"Damn it, Hylia - I'm going to kill that psycho for toying with us like animals..." he growled through his clenched teeth, looking up to his princess who was already running to the door. She pleaded him to stay put, and he nodded as she disappeared from his vision. As time passed, he found it harder to sit up straight, slowly dragging himself to the edge of her bed as he pressed his weight into the foot-board.
[break][break]
When Kura had returned, a doctor had followed, and he had immediately hovered over the broken King to see what damage had been done. His eyes were uneasy, almost as though he was worried for the look on how fresh this wound was, and Percy immediately sprung to look down at it. "How bad is it? Just tell me!"
[break][break]
The medic began to stutter, unsure of how to answer at first, as his hands slowly peeled away at the broken skin. "It's--I mean..." he bumbled out before looking to the princess carefully. "It's been exposed for a long time. It might be infected. We need to cut out the dead flesh immediately, but I don't think we have..." he looked back down, looking through his pockets at the various vials of liquid that were labeled with tiny letters. "It's going to hurt. That's all I can say. We used up the last of the pain elixirs on the others that you returned with."
[break][break]
Silence fell over them for a moment, and Perseus knew what that meant. Either he was going to die a slow and painful death, or he would live, but have to feel every single cut into his flesh again. He took a deep breath, his nerves unsettling once more as his mouth became dry. "R-right now then?" As the doctor gave a morbid, Perseus shuddered under his breath before taking his hand up to his forehead, wiping the sweat. "Someone please get me a rag to bite on..."

[break]“Unconscious..?” Perseus mused over her words for a moment as he took a moment to try and understand. Majora had not gone into detail of what had taken place as she met her “goal”, but with the hero being shown before them… it was obvious that she achieved something. But if she was incapacitated in the process, was it worth it? “Is she unconscious and stable? Or in a coma?” he couldn’t help but ask. Whatever this was, and whatever she did, it must have taken more than just physical power.
[break][break]
“I’m sorry--I shouldn’t ask if you don’t know. I just… something bad is going to happen. I can feel it.” She spoke of this always being life or death, and he knew this to be true, but now... it just seemed different. Before, there was a glimmer of hope--so much so that he and Asthar took the chance to try and stop his madness! But after everything he’s seen now, he’s not so sure. He retracted a bit, pulling from her as he looked down with closed eyes.
[break][break]
“I… I believe that if he is back,” he started, but paused for a moment as he winced in pain. “If the hero has returned to us, he has a heavy burden. Seith was but a lesser god. One that perhaps even with trials fallen short he could have defeated if he had trained just a bit longer. But this...”
[break][break]
He didn’t know how to put it into words. Even the myths of the world’s creation fell short in Labrynna. It was something that was rarely looked into, since his people heavily believed in the worship of the world around them, rather than the beings that once were. The name of Majora was not one so easily forgotten though--the story of Hylia and Majora was one of the key stories of their creations.
[break][break]
“We’re dealing with the very goddess of Chaos, Kura. Hylia’s Sister has been revived. The goddess of masks, Majora--and she’s given Eleazar a taste of her power.”
[break][break]
He winced again, grunting as he leaned forward, his arm pressed tightly against his side as he let out a short breath.
[break][break]
"Percy,-- the world isn't safe anymore. Do you really think he will just stop at Hyrule? What's to say they will not try to reprimand the whole isle? Labrynna, Holodrum... Hyrule. I don't think anything can sate his greed. But he is back... The Hero, and I am not going to abandon my people, and my sister, when they need me the most."
[break][break]
He wanted to beg her to go with her, but he knew she wouldn’t. The desperation in his eyes lingered as he looked back up to her, but ultimately became defeated with a nod. He had to think carefully in his response. She was right; he would not abandon his duty… but he would sure as hell be terrified of it until the very end.
[break][break]
“I don’t want to wait. I can’t wait until this is over, because who knows when it will be!” he huffed, his hands moving to her cheeks as they gently traced her flesh. “I don’t care if it has to be a secret. Or if it isn’t traditional, or big and flashy--I just want you.”
[break][break]
He probably sounded crazy. He knew he sounded crazy. And there was still a chance that she could say no, or that he’d freak her out, and that he’d scare her off forever. But he didn’t want to waste a single moment with her, swallowing hard and looking into her eyes carefully.
[break][break]
“Please, my love. Please marry me as soon as possible.”

Perseus had never hurried faster than he did getting back to the Hylian Ruins. While the carriage had taken its time to arrive, Perseus had made the decision to go ahead on horseback to make sure that it was safe to continue their journey. All he could think--or rather; all he could hope was that he’d either catch up to Kura, Artemis, and the others, or they were already safe at the camp.
[break][break]
The rain crashed against the muddy dirt through the trees as he made his way through the Lost Woods on the dawn of his second day of travel, and he knew he would be riding until sundown. The sleep deprivation, his lack of care for the wound in his waist, and the lack of energy as result of his beast form had left him fighting consciousness. He refused to sleep until he arrived and knew that everyone was safe.
[break][break]
He was patient, he refused to eat, and he never stopped - and by doing so he would hopefully arrive sooner to the arrival time of the others. As luck would happen, as the sun began to set and the sky turned clear and red, Percy had made entrance to the camps just as the Royal Family had been settling in.
[break][break]
Guards bowed in respect of the King’s entrance to the territory. As he arrived to the stables, he quickly dismounted his horse and left it in the care of the guards. Two sets of men approached him quickly, crowding around him as he dragged himself toward the Castle Ruins, wincing as he held onto his side, but pressed to continue his footing.
[break][break]
“Your Grace--you need medical attention immediately!”
[break][break]
“Zelda has not woken up, she needs to rest, you cannot wake her!”
[break][break]
“Please stand back!” Percy snapped, waving his hand to brush at the guards as they flanked away from its path. He could understand their widespread panic as he arrived however; his clothing had been badly torn and covered in blood and dirt, while his exposed chest revealed makeshift bandaging along his lower abdomen. His hair was dishevled - streaks of brown caught in his rosegold locks from the moisture and dirt. Silence dragged out upon the group as he closed his eyes and sighed.
[break][break]
“Where is Princess Kura?” he asked calmly.
[break][break]
“The royal family has requested that no visitors will see them until they have rested--”
[break][break]
“I demand to see my bride to be!” the young King growled as his eyes became fierce. “I will not take no for an answer until I can see her myself!”
[break][break]
The guard became quiet as fear washed over his eyes, nodding quickly in a scramble to turn and bring him into the castle. “Y-yes my lord.”
[break][break]
The two stumbled inside and Percy could feel his heart clawing through his chest with every pump of blood. The anxiety ate away at him, and he would worry until the very moment he could see she was safe. He walked the halls with his best intentions of hiding the limp, but one foot dragged along the stone floors just a bit longer than the other.
[break][break]
The arrived to a door that was tightly closed, made of wood with ornate leaves carved into the sides. With two iron handles that met in the center, the guard stood for a moment, watching to see Percy’s next movements. The King became impatient, motioning away from the door with a scowl. “I don’t need you to stand outside the door. Give us some privacy, please.”
[break][break]
With another shaken nod, the guard swiftly moved back into the main hall, and Percy watched the handlebar carefully, his hand taking hold of it. With the other hand, he knocked gently, waiting to hear her voice as his clenched fist against the door began to tremble. Answer faster, I can’t wait this long--fuck it.
[break][break]
Without even waiting for a response, Perseus quickly opened the door and flung himself inside, closing it behind him and looking to Kura with a desperate and fearful expression.
[break][break]
There was a moment of shock from boths ends, as he simply gazed at her for a moment, before a small sneer curled over his lips, and he looked down sheepishly. “I’m sorry, I just…” he chuckled anxiously. “I was worried something might have happened so I got here as quickly as I could.”
[break][break]
The snickers slowly altered to snivels though, as his voice became wavy and stifled and he slowly fell to his knees. His exhaustion had finally caught up with him, and he was beginning to slip away from his complete sanity. “I thought I was going to die--I thought you were going to--I’m sorry, I should have stayed with you,” he huffed out as he looked back up at her.
