The breezy winds blew against Tetra's face as she gazed at the open sea. Link approached her and she turned to look at him.

"It's been several months since the Ocean King regained power. It had to have been real, right, Link?" Tetra asked, quietly.

Link stared at her, taking in her calm voice. She was usually barking orders and hearing her speak like this was comforting and different. Tetra sighed and scratched her cheek.

"Silly to talk about it, I guess."

She walked past him without another word. Link eyed the ocean and blinked. His gut told him something was about to happen, but he ignored it. How could anything happen? The Ocean King was back in his place, ruling the sea. Everything was fine.

Far off, a captain stood on his small vessel and inhaled deeply. Much had happened to him all those months ago when he journeyed with that small boy in green. The captain stretched his arms and yawned. He spotted the small island, his destination, and dropped anchor.

He hopped onto the dock and headed towards the bar. A small sound made him stop in his track. At first, he thought it was a chicken, for the island had quite a bit. A shimmer filled his ears and he turned.

"Well, if it isn't Linebeck!"

He widened his eyes. He knew that voice. "Sparkles…"

A small ball of light appeared before him and he side-smiled, folding his arms. "This is unexpected. Aren't you supposed to be helping the Ocean King with keeping tsunamis away or something?"

Ceila scoffed. "I can see that you haven't changed, Linebeck. Anyway, I'm here to speak with you. The Ocean King sent me."

Linebeck raised his eyebrows curiously. "Did he? I'm flattered."

"Don't hold your breath. It's serious business. Come on, let's head to his temple of the hill. We can't discuss it here."

Ceila flew towards the hill, leading the way. With a sigh, Linebeck followed. They hurried up with Linebeck out of breath.

"Alright, spit it out, Glitterball. What's the Prince of the Waves want with me?"

"The Ocean King requires your assistance and your ship once more, Linebeck. There is a weapon that needs finding," Ceila scolded.

"I'm already beginning to dislike this idea."

"There is a bow of light that is hidden in an island far from here. Farther than any have ever journeyed. The Ocean King desires it."

"Why?"

"Because there are many forces that seek it. It used to be talked of as legend, but some are beginning to grow curious and ignore such talk," she replied.

Linebeck raised an eyebrow. "Why does he need me to fetch it for him? Can't he summon an army of mermaids to do it for him?"

"According to him, only a mortal with the spirit of the triforce can retreive it. When any mortal is filled with joy or gratitude, they are filled with it. That, as I understand is why Link is being summoned as well, " Ceila explained.

Linebeck groaned. "Oh, here we go again. Didn't we save the world a few months ago?"

"He trusts no one else but you and Link to complete this task. And, don't worry, this won't be too hard for you. All we need is your boat."

Ceila watched as Linebeck sighed and nodded his head. "I expect a reward for this."

She sighed. "The Ocean King will handle it. Now, let's move. He said he would bring Link here soon. Time to set sail."

"Uh, to where, exactly?"

Ceila flew ahead and called back, "Just follow my lead, slowpoke!"

Linebeck rolled his eyes and hung his head, "I need to retire."

He followed after the spirit and they set sail. He held the wheel with both hands and they were off. Ceila hovered next to him and he cleared his throat.

"So, after we get Link, where to?" he asked.

"We are to head to a small island known as the Isle of Faeries," Ceila replied.

"Why?" Linebeck grimaced.

"The Ocean King said we ere supposed to get some faery dust. He said it was really important for the journey."

"But, why? That stuff is useless if you don't know how to use it."

"Just trust him. He knows what he's doing," Ceila assures him.

After a few minutes, they heard a pair of screams. Linebeck looked around but saw no one. Then, he paused and looked up. Two figures fell from the sky and splashed into the water.

Ceila cried out, "Link!"

Link and Tetra swam towards Linebeck's ship and he helped them climb aboard. Link hadn't grown much since Ceila last him. He was still rather short.

Tetra wiped her wet face and spit out a mouthful of salt water.

"Link, it's wonderful to see you!" Ceila giggled.

Link gave a smile and chuckled.

Tetra folded her arms. "Is it too rude to ask why we're here?"

Ceila hovered in front of Tetra. "The Ocean King requires the help of both of you. I'll explain more of the mission in a minute. Linebeck, let's head to the isle."

He gave a dull salute. "Yes, oh fearless leader."

He returned behind the wheel, muttering to himself. Ceila explained the mission to the two youngsters as the sky grew dark. They neared the isle and Link gripped his sword. It was a small island with a tall hill that led to a cave.

Ceila hovered by Link and gazed at the island. "That's it. Drop anchor, Linebeck and we'll head ashore."

"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Who made you leader of this quest? I'm the adult here and I'm coming with you."

Link and Ceila exchanged a glance. She chuckled. "Right, good one."

"I'm serious. Besides, there might be some treasure in this island. You never know," Linebeck smirked.

Tetra hopped off the ship and onto the wet sand. Link followed, along with Linebeck. Ceila stayed with Link as they journeyed up the hill. The grass was almost as tall as Link and Tetra.

There wasn't any wind or a sound. All was silent, except the waves from afar. Linebeck swallowed and Link was cautious.

"It's so quiet here," Tetra commented.

Ceila shimmered. "It's a peaceful isle. There are few who know it exists."

They approached the cave and entered. Inside was a small pool surrounded by dust. Link stepped forward and into the pool. Golden dust surrounded him and they all froze.

Nothing happened. Ceila hovered over to see if she could help.

"I don't get it. The Ocean King-"

Suddenly, a loud shimmer filled the air. Link hurried away from the pool, wet and frightened. Ceila was surrounded by a bright light and dust. The others covered their eyes and gasped. Ceil felt herself fall into the pool and her skin tingle.

"Sparkles!" Linebeck called out.

He stepped into the pool, but didn't see Ceila. Instead, he saw a young girl. Her hair was as short as Link's and golden. Her skin was pale and her eyes were a faded yellow color.

She wore a short gown and was drilling with water. Linebeck's jaw hung open as he gasped. Tetra glanced at Link and he shrugged.

Linebeck stared at the girl until she grimaced. "What's the matter?"

Linebeck leaned close to her, staring into her eyes. "S-Sparkles?"

"What's wrong with you? It's me, Ceila."

Linebeck shook his head. "No...you can't be."
