I do not own any rights to the Zelda franchise...if I did I would be typing this on a much better laptop…preferably one that didn't decide to stop every few minutes for no reason…anyways, enjoy.

The Dream

Link opened his eyes and looked around him, he could feel the heat of the sun beating down on him and he sighed in exasperation as he saw the sand beneath his feat. He was back in the desert, but how did he get here? It didn't really matter; he had been here a few times since Ganon's defeat to train at the Great Fairies training grounds. It was refreshing to feel as if nothing had changed...Well mostly nothing. He took a step forward, the sound of his feat on the sand and wind around him keeping him alert. Any other sound and he would know something was there.

As he took another step he felt the eyes of someone else on him. Instinctively he reached behind him and drew the master sword and Hylian shield before turning around. He blinked for a couple seconds before he felt a warmth rise in his cheek as he put the shield and sword back where they belong. "Princess, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be back at Hyrule castle?" Link tilted his head slightly as he walked over to Zelda who had a small grin on her face from seeing the hero get embarrassed.

"So you are here as well Link." She raised her head towards the Arbiter's Grounds her eyes seeming to know more than she let on. But what did you expect from the wielder of the triforce of wisdom? "We are not in the desert Link." The lower left triangle on Zelda's hand glowing bright gold.

"But how..." Link eyebrows becoming furrowed as he tried to figure out what was going on. If they weren't in the desert, where were they?

"You are in your bed in Ordon, and I in Hyrule Castle. This is a dream Link, a dream we are both sharing since we are connected by the triforce." With that said Zelda began walking forward seeming to know where she was going. Link nodded and decided to take Zelda's word for it; she hadn't steered him wrong yet. He stumbled a little as he tried to turn around and run after Zelda at the same time.

"Ok then, this is a dream. There has to be a reason for it. I mean, we've never shared a dream before." Link looked over at Zelda as he walked next to her, his eyes plainly displaying the confusion he was feeling.

"I believe it has to do with another evil." Zelda stopped and turned towards Link and took a deep breath her eyes telling Link to remember what she was about to say. "The day that Midna left and destroyed the mirror of twilight It seemed that some level had peace had returned to Hyrule...Until a year ago." Links eyes drifted to the sand and he nodded, he had felt it as well. "About a year ago I started to feel an evil starting to grow...And until recently I didn't know where it was coming from. I prayed to the goddesses to give me insight as to where this evil was I believe this dream is the answer to my prayers. They're showing you as well Link, so that you may save Hyrule again from this evil. Will you help us again my friend?"

Link smiled broadly reminding Zelda of when Link had become a wolf. "Do I really have a choice? I mean, if I don't help, who will?" They both shared a brief laugh before Link's eyes drifted towards the prison. "It'll be hard though...without Midna I mean. Without her I..." Zelda brought her hand up and laid a finger on Link's mouth before he could say anything else.

"I know. I miss her too. But she did what is ultimately best for both worlds...However hard it is for us, I'm sure it's hard for her too." She didn't try to make Link feel better about it; she knew how he felt about Midna and she knew she couldn't change that. "Come on Link, We need to find out where this is coming from before dawn. This might be the only shot we have of getting a head start."

Link nodded a fire returning to his eyes that she had seen when he first started out on his journey. "Well, if this is a dream then I should be able to do this." With that Link closed his eyes and felt the familiar sensation of his body changing. He fell forward on his hands as they became paws and returned to the familiar form of the wolf. He looked down at the chain around his leg and thought back on the day he first met Midna before he shook himself out of it. He looked back at Zelda and nodded to his back with a wolfish grin.

Zelda laughed as she straddled Link's back and clenched her fists into his fur. 'So this is how Midna got around when he was a wolf...' Zelda's thought's were cut short as Link bolted forward into a dead run, his paws landing on the ground only to take off immediately. He had forgotten how much he missed being a wolf, he just wanted to run and forget everything. Zelda told him to take a left and link jumped in that direction making Zelda bounce on his back when he landed.

As Link ran in the directions Zelda told him his mind drifted back to the last time he was a wolf here, When Midna was riding on top of him. He remembered her telling him that it was her people that betrayed the goddesses. It was then that he started growing closer to her. Through their travels he found himself growing fonder and fonder of her...until she left. It was then that he realized…he loved her. He could remember the tears the flowed down his cheeks as his knees hit the stone next to the mirror. He didn't even care that Zelda was standing next to him. All he knew was that she was gone; his princess...was gone...

Before he realized it he reached a wooden wall that looked much like a fort. Zelda got off of him and Link started pacing back and forth, now shaken out of his daydream he had to return to the business at hand. He sat down and raised his muzzle into the air sniffing at the wind. He could smell a lot of different things inside. A lot of monsters of all kinds all of them familiar, he just couldn't place them, but also something else. A human...no, not a human...but what? Something was stopping him from figuring it out. He closed his eyes and in a couple second he was back in his human form. He stood up and looked at Zelda. "There are monsters inside...and someone. I don't know what though, he doesn't smell human...and definitely not Goron or Zora...He might be a race like Yeto and Yeta?" He looked up at the wall and sighed only to feel Zelda's hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. We can't do anything else right now. This will have taken a lot out of us. Just close your eyes and focus on your triforce and you'll leave this dream." Link nodded and closed his eyes feeling a darkness surround him and then nothing as he returned to his body and slept peacefully the rest of the night.
