Hyrule was a dark quiet land at night. A peaceful prosperous land of whose most inhabitants were asleep at two o'clock in the morning. One was not. Link sat upright in his bed staring blankly out the window. He took short, quick breaths although he had been asleep. A dream had done this. He closed his eyes and let himself slip back into it. The way the Triforce of Courage split, the way it shined black, and the way the medallions crashed to the floor all penetrated his mind. He mentally watched the flash of colors green, red, blue, violet, orange, and a bright flash as the Triforce of Wisdom shattered as well. He opened his eyes and drew in a sharp, quick gulp of air. It was only a dream. Nothing more but a simple dream. A simple dream that sank into his mind and tormented him from within. He cringed. A dream was driving him insane. He was losing his sanity over an image he only saw while he was asleep. How foolish he was being. He sank back onto his pillow, which was shockingly soothing to him. No, he thought. He could not ignore this lingering feeling of dread that plagued him. He hated to admit it, but he needed help. He needed advice, but not any advice. Advice from Saria.
Katrina opened her eyes. She bolted into a sitting position franticly. She was late. She hurriedly put her dark black hair up and ran out. She arrived in a dark room. Although the room was dark she didn't decrease her pace, and she tripped although nothing was there. She ran still confidently to the corner of the room where a small well was. She dropped to her knees gasping from the run. She fell forward and caught herself with her hands on the rim of the well. She waited, but nothing happened. She had come too late. She sighed and leaned back up against the wall. All that for nothing, she thought anger boiling inside of her. She leaned forward, gazing into the shallow water,
"Damn! Humor me! I have come so far only to be disappointed. I watched long ago in secret and you minded not! You mind now!?"
Upon her command the water flickered and clouded over. Katrina's eyes widened. Had it come upon her wanting it to? Link appeared in the water. His eyes were partially opened as he lie suspended between awake and asleep. Katrina's lips spread out into a gleeful smile.
"Has it been so long?…….."
She stopped and averted her gaze from the well.
"I'm being foolish," she concluded, "He does not even know me…he never will."
She felt tears stinging her eyes, yet she paid them no attention. Her voice came out soft and hoarse.
"They say …it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all, but…what about loving…and never having?"
She slipped quietly into the shadows.
