Link groaned as he turned over in pain and gripped his ribs. "What the hell just happened..?" He inhaled the sulfuric smell of burning wood and debris as he opened his eyes. His eyes widened at the sight of his surroundings. There were large white pillars collapsed and Buildings burning down. People where running or limping away from danger and crying out for lost loved ones in the midst of an ending battle that was obviously lost. He looked around for any familiar faces such as Zelda or any other sage, seeing as this place was not a place he knew to be in Hyrule, but no luck. The people didn't even look of full Hylian race.

He struggled to sit up but was forced back down roughly by an unknown person. "Stay down; they will kill you on sight." A voice whispered harshly. He grimaced at the harsh contact with his body on the ground and looked to his right to see deep crimson hair and black tips. She glanced at him momentarily, giving him a glimpse of her extremely dull grey eyes. He heard foot steps running past and then a woman that was lying on the ground not far from them scream out in pain as someone stabbed her. He flinched at the sound as it wrenched a nerve in his heart and shut his eyes.

The girl beside him shifted and a man a few feet away shouted something in a different language as he ran towards her. Link froze and his breath hitched in his throat. He knew he had his sword and shield on him but was unable to do much in his injured state. He clenched his jaw as everything that had just happened ran though his mind in a stream of a second.

He swore he was in the midst of a battle between Hyrule and another foreign Hylian land known as Tieale when he was struck in the back of the head by some blunt force. How could he have possibly woken up in another city with a completely different race in another battle? All of these thoughts stopped when he felt the girls hand lift off his back and her get up. He opened his eyes to see her holding off a tanned bearded mans sword with two arced glades. She stepped forward and shoved him off before bringing her left arm back and around again in a wide arc across his chest. He screamed as her blade slid though his skin and she planted her foot into it afterwards. She grabbed Link by the back of his collar and hauled him up. He let out a soft cry of pain and aggravation and gave her a quick glare before she pulled him off into a dark alley blocked by one of the pillars. They backed against the stone wall and let out a harsh breath and waited. Hoof prints were soon heard and they heard a guy yell what sounded like, "Treimastre!" the girl again grabbed Link and rushed out of the alley way without hesitation to meet a guy with black neck length hair and piercing green eyes on a black horse. He had another brown horse beside him that trotted over to the girl. She hopped on and grabbed Links hand and gave it a tug to help him on. He gave her a questioning glance but got on anyways.

"It's leave or die." She stated simply and gave the horse a slight kick and they were off. They raced though the burning city and off across desert under the moon. Link swore he heard her gasp quietly and wipe her face. He saw the other guy look over at her and then speed up, but not before giving him a look of what seemed like warning not to get too close to her. "aalrighty I guess that means she's taken..meh, might as well find out something about her, not to mention the fact that I don't know where the hell I am."

"Where is this..?" he whispered into her ear discreetly while they were still trotting behind the guy with the black hair.

"Kashid desert." She whispered back not looking at him. "What is your name?" she asked.

"Link" He replied. As they traveled for about another hour, he found out that her name was Lynndelle and she had traveled to the city they just left in hopes to save a friend and family from there before it was attacked by an army under the command of a leader named Kalidar. They hushed their conversation when the guy with the black hair, known as Kai looked back and gave Lynndelle a look.

They arrived at another city fenced off by large white walls and pillars similar to that of the ones Link saw in the other forsaken city except for the fact that these ones had inscriptions carved into them.

They put their horses into a stable near the large palace next to another larger one in centre of the city and proceeded up two sets of white stairs inside. Kai told Link to wait in a rather large room where someone would be there to tend to his injuries. He tapped his foot impatiently as we waited on a long flattened chair. He thought about what the girl said and pondered on how he was going to get home to Hyrule, or even if he was going to be able to. It didn't seem so because Lynn hadn't heard of any place called Hyrule and had never seen anyone with such long ears before.

A woman with black hair tied up into a messy bun wearing a red gown came in with bandages, gauze water, and thread for his wounds and began to work at him quietly asking him a random question every now and then. Lynndelle came in a while after and stood quietly by the door waiting for the other girl to be finished bandaging up Link. She had changed from the battle clothes she was wearing and into an olive green night slip that went to the floor hugging every caramel curve above her hips. Her waist length hair hung loose around her face and curled into her face if not out in a spot or two. She went to step into the room when Kai came from the hallway and grabbed her arm whispering something in her ear. She laughed at the seriousness in his face and shooed him off carelessly. He grunted and walked off after giving Link that same over protective look and Link just gave the same smug look he always gave when someone challenged him.

The nurse finished bandaging and regarded Lynndelle as Miss Lynn before being growled at by Lynndelle. "I hate that damn title; I'm not a queen dammit." She grumbled walking over to Link.

"How's the boo boo." She chuckled smiling at him.

"It's fine." He grumbled.

"come, ill show you a comfortable place to sleep." She stated and stepped out into the hallway. They proceeded down the hall for two minuets before coming to a room before a pair of stairs going down into a small platform before going up again. On the platform another door was slightly ajar.

"That's my room down there." she pointed and opened his. "I know you'll probably want to find a way to get home after exploring a bit so we can go to the Library when your ready and check if we see anything on Hyrule okay?"

"Yeah" Link answered lightly and stepped into his room letting his weapons and shield fall to the ground by the bed. The sheets were red silk with white drapes over the bed. He looked to his right to see a bathroom with a rather large tub surrounded by a few simple fragrances and bottles with soap. He decided he was gonna take a nice bath in the morning before hitting the exploration and books.

"Hey, I can call you, Lynn right?" he questioned grabbing her waist tentatively. He didn't mean to but it was too late to undo the action so he did the only thing he could do, apologize and blush. She bit her lip and looked into his blue eyes for a brief second before saying yes and smiling. She accepted the apology and closed the door behind her.

…...
...

...

Lynn sighed against Kai's chest as he ran his fingers though her hair. They stood there in the moonlight next to the pool for what seemed like an hour before he said it.

"I love you Lynndelle."

"Don't." she grumbled quietly against his chest.

"But I,"

"Stop it." She cut him off sternly and put a finger to his lips.

"You don't need to. I'm not ready for this." She said. She turned to leave when he grabbed her arm forcefully.

"Stay away from him..I wont loose you." He demanded quietly letting his hair fall into his face.

"You can't love me if you can't trust me Kai." She retaliated and wrenched her arm from his tight grip. He grabbed her arm again with more force in a desperate attempt to hold her to him. She let out a small whimper and refused his grip once again giving him a look of warning before walking off by her self.

Link let the curtain fall back into place as his head disappeared from view of the poolside and sighed as he fell backwards into bed. He ran a finger over his bandages and smiled slightly at how fast it was healing. "Maybe….i should..stay..away." He breathed before letting sleep take him.
