Link hammered away in his Uncle's forge. He was working on his first sword and it was almost finished. He really wanted to finish before the storm got too bad. The wind was howling outside the house and rain hammered the roof. He shuddered at the thought of going or being outside. Just then, he heard a small tap on the door. He stopped with his hammer in the air. Who in Hyrule would be outside in weather like this?

He ran into the main room and threw open the door. What he found made him gasp and his jaw drop.

Standing in front of him was a very wet, very injured Vaati. Blood was streaming down his face and he had to use the door frame to remain standing. His clothes were torn and Link could see other wounds through the tears.

"Vaati, what-?" he never got to finish, for Vaati had fainted, and fallen forward into Link. Link fell backward and onto the floor, Vaati unconscious on top of him. Link groaned slightly and sat up.

He had just managed to get Vaati off of him as his uncle walked down the stairs.

"Link what's going on, I heard you-…" his voice trailed off as he caught sight of Vaati. "What is that- that- thing doing here?"

Link whirled around.

"Vaati is a person, well actually, he's a minish, but that still doesn't mean he's a thing."

"A Minish?!"

"I didn't stutter." Snapped Link. His Uncle stepped back slightly.

"Well? What is he doing here?"

"I don't know, he fainted before I could ask."

"Well, get him out!"

"In this weather? He'll die!"

"Serves him right!"

"Uncle!"

"Move away Link." Smith drew a sword from its scabbard."

"Uncle, put the sword DOWN!"

As Smith and Link were arguing, Vaati made a small noise and stirred. Link immediately turned and knelt down by him. Vaati made another noise and opened his crimson eyes. He blinked them once, twice, and looked around. He looked over at Link and opened his mouth to say something, but his strength failed him and he slumped back onto the floor. Link carefully scooped up the sorcerer and moved to go upstairs. Smith, however, blocked his way.

"Move, Uncle."

"No. I forbid you let that thing stay here."

"He is a living person Uncle. Not a thing. Now move. And besides, he doesn't have enough strength to hurt us."

"What about when he's well again?!"

"I beat him once didn't I?"

Smith opened his mouth to reply, but couldn't think of an answer to that, so he shut his mouth again. Link pushed past him and walked up the stairs.

"And don't expect me to help you!" shouted his uncle as he walked.

"I won't." muttered Link.
