Chapter 34. The Truth:
Ilia had barely managed to get past her father to the soldiers. They were leaving tonight, and she was sneaking out with them. There is no way my father will approve of this she thought, but I have to do this for Link, and for all of Ordon. She had just finished thanking Rusl for turning a blind eye, and was now packed and ready for her escape. There was only one problem with her plan. Her father would be seeing off the soldiers. She had thought about putting on the soldiers armor, but it was much too heavy for her to wear. After long hours of thinking she looked at her golden wolf mask. She put it on and instantly felt the pain of the transformation. Once the pain subsided, she looked in the mirror and saw a beautiful golden furred wolf where she should have seen herself. She had, of course, transformed before, but had never taken the time to admire the beauty of her golden fur. Dang, she thought to herself I look good. She noticed that there were white streaks through her golden blonde fur. They looked a lot like the light grey streaks link had described in his black-grey fur in his wolf form. Link. She thought to herself. She missed him more than she had missed any of the other Ordonians when they had been captured. She looked at the triforce marking on her right hand (erm... Paw) which filled her with determination.
It was time for her to escape. She leapt out her window and down to the courtyard where the soldiers would be gathering after her father had shown them off (he was the mayor of Ordon after all), and transformed to a human behind a grey stone pillar. She looked back at the prison/base/refuge, and thought about how she would miss her family, her friends. Her father.
She watched as the soldiers came out one by one, then began to march off she followed behind, then made her way into the group.

That night, the soldiers made camp and had dinner. One of the soldiers looked at her, nodded, then did a double take as he instantly recognized her. "Ilia!" He shouted, and instantly recognized his voice.
"Ian?" She called back to the soldier she instantly ran over and hugged him. "What are you doing here!? I thought you were a gate guard in Clock Town!"
"I was!" He said to her "but I got a promotion, and now I'm in the field again. Buddy! Get over here! It's Ilia! Remember, from clock town? We found her at the bulblin camp!" He called to his friend who she only knew as buddy. She didn't know his real name, so she decided to ask him.
"M-m-my name is... L-L-Link" he stammered. It was her turn to do a double take.
"WHAAATT!? Why have you not told me this before!? You are the exact person I've been looking for this entire time I've been gone!"
"y-you've been looking... f-f-for... me? I d-don't even know wh-wh-who you a-are."
What! How can he not remember me? Ilia actually broke down into tears. I know what he feels like. I went through the same thing when I had amnesia. I can't cry now. He doesn't remember me. She stopped crying after a minute or so. "Why has Ian been calling you 'Buddy' this entire time?"
"I-I have no idea" said Buddy, er... Link, his confidence rising as I was gentler with him. "I don't even know his name. The only reason we call him Ian, is that when the captain asked his name he said 'I am... I am...' And the captain must've heard Ian, so the name just stuck."
"I don't exactly understand what's going on here. I do, however know that I recognize Ian's voice. Ian, please take off your helmet." He did. "Dorik!? What in the name of nayru is going on here?! You used to bull... sorry. It is my turn to listen. Link, tell me what you remember as far back as you can."
Well, the first thing I can remember is waking up in the snow with Ian, er... Dorik, in the snow. There were long wagon wheel trails, so my guess would be that we fell out. Our hands were tied, so it was difficult to get up, but we found a sharp rock and cut ourselves free. The tracks led in both directions so we followed one way, but it was the direction they came from, not where they went. We found ourselves in clock town, got jobs as soldiers, and met you. You know the rest from there."
Wow... that is not a lot... he must've hit his head when they fell out of that wagon, cause he can't remember anything...
"I'm scared" said Link. I can't remember anything. Ilia had an Idea on how to spark his memory.
"Here Link, I want you to hold this, and look at it very carefully," she handed him his clawshot. He looked at it for a minute, then was taken aback.
"This thing... It seems so... familiar." He put it on like a glove, and aimed at a cliff with a mossy surface. The chain shot out and pulled him to the surface! "Haha!" He shouted with glee "It's all coming back! Woo hoo!" He shouted as he held the moss with one hand and shot a box on the ground with his clawshot hand. "Oh Farore. Ilia!" he ran towards her and embraced her with all his might, which was a lot due to all his adventuring he'd been doing. "you're more beautiful than I remember, and you also look like you've gotten older?" His last part sounded very confused.
"It's a long story" she said, thinking about how Saria had given up her immortality to save her. She began to feel very sad.
Then she came back to the present. "Link... there's something I want to tell you..." Farore, goddess of courage, please help me confess my love to link without choking "Link, I-I... I lo-"
BOOM
Something exploded in the camp! Debris went flying everywhere! CRASH, BANG! something hit her head and she was knocked out.
