Chapter Two: Reunion.

Seven years later.

Link:

As I aged, I realized that my masked forms were able to get stronger as I did. My Deku form could now fly great distances. In Goron form, I could move mountains. As a Zora, I was the fastest swimmer in the water.

Life in Termina wasn't all that bad. I lived in my little hotel room, although I was hardly there. Anju and Kafei were the only people I talked to. Often at night we would sit in the kitchen for hours just talking. I was too scared to tell them my real identity or my real story. They didn't seem to mind, they liked the mysterious me. Besides, Talt went back to live with Skullkid. in all reality, I was just lonely.

During the day, I would vernture to the swamp, mountains, ocean, or canyons. I would go anywhere I could train. It's not like I didn't have time. Through the years of training and using my masks to my advantage, I started to forget about my old life.

"You know, the clock festival is next week," Anju reminded me one morning. She was excited about her wedding anniversary, she always was.

"How many years is it now?" Kafei joked, he made the same one every year.

"You know how many." Anju replied sternly. "Seven is the lucky number."

Seven... It sounded so familiar.

"I know, I know. Wait until you see the mask I made for you!" Every year Kafei made the most beautiful mask for his wife. Anju typically made two, one for him and one for me. I guess you can say Anju and Kafei adopted me. They both treated me like a son, even though I was always pretty independent.

"Link, do you remember when you saved our wedding?" Anju asked. She asked every year, and every year she sounded more grateful.

I nodded at her. Kafei patted me on the back. "Link," he said, "we were wondering if you maybe wanted to make a mask for someone this year?"

I shook my head. For some reason, I just couldn't think of ever getting married, or even having a relationship. Maybe it was because I just wasn't that type.

"Well, honey, you still have time. Besides, you're seventeen and very handsome." Anju encouraged me. I smiled at her, then left the Inn.

As I strolled through Termina Field, I stared in every direction. I had no clue what to do that day. Usually I took it easy near the festival. Mainly cause it brought back things that I had not thought of in years. My mind shuffled through years of memories. But it was just so hard to think back. I couldn't remember anything before that festival seven years ago.

Slowly I walked towards the Southern Swamp. Of course, I wasn't exactly looking where I was going. My feet just kept walking forward. Finally I looked up. Far ahead of me I saw something, it wasn't an enemy... It was a person. In fact, it was a girl. She ws advancing on me. So I panicked.

Zelda:

Growing up, I knew that I had what it takes to be a sheikah. I mean, I already saw it coming. When I turned thriteen I began training once again. This time, I was able to be better, and get everything faster. I had Impa train me to blend in with society, if I was going to find Link, I didn't want to draw a bunch of attention to myself.

Finally I turned sixteen. Three years of training let me slip out of the Castle and begin to search. I really wasn't sure where to start. There was some feeling inside of me that told me Link was nowhere in Hyrule. Eventually, I ended up in the woods. From all the maps I studied I figured it was the Lost Woods. When I was little, Impa told me many stories about that place. Mostly about how every non-Kokiri gets turned into a Stalfos if they venture into the woods.

I, however, had been here before. Well, technically I had. I remembered the way to the Sacred Forest Meadow, but I knew he wouldn't be there. I just kept wondering around until eventually, I saw a small boy.

"Hey! Stop!" He held out his hand like he was guarding the path behind him.

"I need to get through here," I said sternly. The boy jumped a little.

"Okay, well... The last person to go through here has never returned. So... Just think about that!" He moved to the side.

I wanted to ask him if Link was the last person to pass through here. This little boy had to have known Link at one point. But, I decided to just keep moving. It really took a lot of focusing to get through this path. It was hard to tell which way I was going. Or if I was even moving at all, it was incredibly dark.

Eventually I found a light. I basically ran to it, I was so despret to see something other than trees. What I did see, was a large stone wall with some kind of tower in the middle. Slowly, I walked forward toward it. It seemed to be a town. I unwrapped my face, letting my hair fall down.

Suddenly something caught my eye. It had to be a man. I crept slowly toward him, but he must have noticed me. He ran.

"Hey! Wait!" I called, running after him. I had my sights locked on him. He was fast, but I had to catch him, he looked so familiar. The man quickly turned behind a tree, I had him.

But, he was gone. All I found was a Deku scrub looking up at me. "Oh," I said, a little dissapointed. "I'm so sorry." I turned on my heel and continued to the town.
