" Ahh..."
Link sighed as he sat himself down near a shady palm tree on a hill of the shore. His companion fairy, Navi, fluttered and then came to rest on his shoulder. The day was rather balmy as the sun slowly crawled past it's noon apex. It was peaceful, finally, with only the salted breeze hushing over the rolling waves and an occasional cry of a gull overhead. He saw that the flat horizon beyond held only the visible sea's edge and a piled up bank of clouds, nothing more.
"See, aren't you glad our paths came to cross again, Navi?"
"Hmm, yes." She was simply enjoying the scene. He could barely feel her feather-weight upon her shoulder.
"What a lazy day. I think you needed a day like this, Link." She sighed.
...( Some hours earlier)
"Thank you, Thank you for helping our village, brave warrior Link! You live up to your fabled reputation." Thanked the village Elder Baldrin with his booming laugh as he swiftly shook his hand. He was tall, sturdy man who albeit, had to walk with the aid of a stick due to a bad leg.
" If it weren't for you, those Stalfos surely would have taken us all!"
"It's nothing, really." said Link, rubbing his neck. In all reality, he was quite exhausted but he wasn't going to admit it. It was morning, the air was uncomfortably humid and the preceding night's battle had taken a toll on the Hylian warrior.
"Come here." motioned the Village Seer whose tiny, bright-clothed form stood apart from the small crowd. She was older and wore a decorated shawl with long feathers hanging from the edges.
He sat in her quaint house as she gave him a delightful stew, crusty bread and tea which he greatly and quietly appreciated. Navi also partook and sipped her thimbles of tea and stew.
"I want you to have this map."
She brought out an old, blue-trimmed scroll from a very cramped, but organized bookcase.
"Oh, thank you Seer Janae."
He said finishing a bit of bread and moving on to peeling the citrus fruit she had left out.
"What is it for?"
The Seer smiled and looked off into the distance.
"It is a most useful map. It is the only other copy I have of the Map to the Dream Well, at least where it is at the moment. Do not lose it."
"Where it is at the moment?"
"It is an interesting place. Go there Link, and take a bit of the water from the Well. That is my true gift to you for your help in our Village. You will find that it is the gift of your wildest dreams." she winked.
Link thanked the Seer and after bidding the admiring mass of Akara villagers farewell, headed for the nearby wooded hillsides around the extensive reaches of the Hyrulian coast.
Later on, he found Navi and himself standing at the mouth of a gaping sinkhole at the foot of a pale coastal forest. There were many caverns that dotted the area, but this was the one specifically marked area on the map. He descended an eroded stairwell that led into it near the gnarled trees. Down he went, along the path into the cool, dark stones of earth where only Navi's bright azure glow lit the way and there he met...
A gloriously dead end.
