GANONDORF'S POV

I peeked around the corner and saw them. All three. Zelda, Link, and his fairy… Whose name escapes me…? Lavi? Davi? Doesn't matter.

There were a ton of ReDeads with me. I had also put a spell over them to make them invincible against light arrows. The cursed things. I silently walked over to Lana. She unbuckled her belt with her sword. I almost felt a stab of worry for her. This sword was the only thing that I knew was protecting her. But I convinced myself that as long as Link, Zelda, and that fairy didn't know who she was, she would be fine. Her job was to lead them to the "kidnapper" of the fairy. A.K.A., me.

Lana unsheathed her sword. She them made slits in her clothes. She rubbed dirt and mud into them, they started to look like she'd been graveling for a long time. She took her sword and started cutting herself. Little cuts here and there, some bigger ones, some smaller ones. She let the blood soak into her clothes. She then handed her sword to me.

"Good luck, my daughter."

"Thank you father. I will complete my mission." I nodded to her. I assembled the ReDeads so they would follow Lana. I told them that if necessary, protect Zelda at all cost. If they could, protect Lana too. I told them just to kill Link. I turned to Lana. I remembered her mother, Layna. I closed my eyes. I saw her. She was beautiful. The beautiful, Hylian woman I loved.

Here was Lana, who was part Hylian. She didn't have the Gerudo dark, tan skin. She looked purely Hylian. Nothing about her looked Gerudo. That is, except her round ears. She doesn't have pointed ones like Zelda. It made me ashamed that I wanted Zelda as my daughter, but that didn't last long. I looked forward to having my daughter, Zelda. And having Link gone.

I unsheathed my sword. I nodded to the ReDeads. They formed a group behind me. I ran out to see Link and the Fairy and Zelda. He looked surprised and angry. Let the games begin.

LAYNA'S POV

I watched my father leave. I was so nervous for him. From what I knew, Link was a very good swordsman. I waited for maybe an hour before I crept up to a bush and looked out. Link was on his knees with his head in his hands. Zelda, beautiful Zelda, was on the ground with her arms around her legs. She was staring at the fire. Navi was nowhere in sight. I knew it was time to move. I prepared myself to act. For I needed to make sure they went to the castle.

LINK'S POV

I couldn't believe I had failed. My fairy, my partner. Sure, she got annoying sometimes, but she was my annoying fairy. I had failed to protect her form Ganondorf. I looked up to the sky. They sky was orange. Twilight. I looked to the forest. It was there he came out of.

As I looked closer, I saw something come out. I quickly grabbed my sword and shield and got ready. But as I study the thing, I found that it was a… girl? Her dress was dirty and blood-stained. She was stumbling along the field. She didn't seem to have any emotion. It was like her brain was on "walk" mode. I put my sword and shield on the ground and ran to the person. She had straight jet black hair. Her eyes were an amazing shade of purple.

She looked up at me. Her lips were dry and cracked. She opened her mouth.

"S-so many r-re-d-deads… I c-couldn't prot-tect myself…" her voice was crackily. But I could tell that if she wasn't basically dehydrated it would be a wonderful voice. I picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the camp Zelda and I had made. I set the girl down and went to a pack.

Zelda glanced up. Her eyes followed my every move as I grabbed one of my bottles that I had randomly filled with spring water. I brought it over to the girl. I lifted up her head and gently poured a little bit of the water into her mouth. I continued until the bottle was empty. The girl was asleep.

Zelda stood up and went over to me. She tilted her head to the side, looking like she was deciding something.

"Who is she, Link?"

"I don't know. But she was attacked ReDeads, so she can't be evil. Anyone on Ganondorf's side can control them."

"Oh, Link. Look at the poor girl. She must have lost a lot of blood."

"I think she did. We better let her sleep now, though. Then we can go with our plan to go find Ganondorf." Zelda nodded. I picked the girl up again and lay her on a blanket. Zelda went and lay on another one. I took the first watch. I still felt ashamed about Navi. How could I let that happen?

LAYNA'S POV

My eyes fluttered open. I stared up at the sky. It was dark. Grey, it would rain soon. I sat up. I looked around me. Everyone was sleeping except for Zelda. She had her back turned to me. I looked at Link. He was pretty nice. I mean, he helped me, a total stranger! Then there was Zelda.

She was the most beautiful girl ever. She made me feel so insecure. I just hope she doesn't recognize me from when… I shook my head, trying to get rid of the memory. Too much pain then, too much pain now.

"So, you're awake?" She asked. I was stunned. How did she know that?

"Y-yes." She turned to me.

"What is your name?" I knew that I couldn't say my real name. I wracked my brain for ideas. I decided maybe to use my father's name for me.

"It's… Layna. And yours?" I tried to sound innocent and scared. She smiled at me.

"My name's Zelda. That over there," she pointed to Link. "Is Link. We should probably wake him up. Usually… Um, Navi woke him up." I was surprised she would mention it to me. I knew how to start the plan.

"Navi… who is she? Why isn't she here?"

"Navi was Link's fairy. We had a camp here when all of a sudden Ganondorf and a whole army of ReDeads come out of nowhere. Link and I tried to fight, but Ganondorf didn't get us, he got Navi. Link is crushed about it. That's why we need to find Ganondorf."

"G-ganondorf?"

"Yes, Ganondorf. Have you heard of him?"

"He-he did this to me." I gestured to the blood and tears on my dress everywhere.

"He did? Why, poor you! I can't imagine facing Ganondorf. He's so scary, powerful, and kind of ugly. Well, more like the ugliest man I have ever seen!" she laughed. I tensed up. She was talking about my father! But I had to laugh along.

"Ha ha, yeah. But when he's angry, he's really angry…" Zelda nodded in agreement. I had to admit, besides the whole making fun of my father thing, she's ok. Link stirred.

I pretended to be surprised and everything. I pretended to be scared. Even though I hate both of them with a fiery passion. Well, I don't, but I'm working on it. The closest thing is I might hate Zelda. But that's different, she's making fun of father!

Suddenly, I felt slight pressure on my shoulders, and I was taken up into the air. I screamed because I'm deathly scared of heights. I peeked up and I saw I being carried by a Kargaroc! Did I also mention I have a fear of these too? I looked the ground and screamed harder. I felt the pressure on my shoulders go away. I started to fall. The Kargaroc fell faster than me. I started to freak out. This is my worst nightmare. I started to call for father.

"Father! Father help me!" But no one came. I realized how high up I was. As I looked down, I had maybe thirty more metres to go. I closed my eyes. I stopped screaming. I got ready to die.

"I'm sorry father, I failed." I whispered. I counted down the metres. I looked down. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four… I felt myself hold my hands out, to catch myself. As I hit the ground I… Wait a minute, I didn't hit the ground. I felt something holding me. I opened my eyes and saw Link. He had an anxious look on his face.

"Um, thanks for saving me… again…" I said. Link smiled and set me down on my feet.

"You're welcome. Now, should Zelda and I accompany you anywhere?"

"Actually, there's something I need to tell you both of you." Link nodded and we both walked back to the camp. Zelda looked worried.

"Oh my goodness, Lana! Are you ok?" I smiled. Zelda is so caring about other people. I love that about her… I mean I hate that about her.

"Yeah, I'm ok. Thanks again, Link. I owe you."

"I might just take you up on that offer." He said with a smile.

"Ok, there's something I need to tell you."

"Yes, Layna?" asked Zelda.

"The reason I was attacked by Ganondorf was… I used to be one of his prisoners. Ever since I was a child. I needed to be free, so I ran away. He noticed and chased after me. I tried to run, but… I know that both of you are crushed by your fairy being stolen, so I can lead you to him."

"Y-you can? You would risk being imprisoned again for us?" Asked Link. He was amazed.

"Yes. I need to repay both of you. I would feel like I was cheating both of you if I didn't show you." I never knew I could be such a good liar.

"Thank you, Layna. You will help us get Navi back." Zelda was so happy. She was practically glowing. I smiled back and nodded.

"Well, where is it Layna?" asked Link.

"You see that little speck of sparkly white right there in the mountains?" Link nodded.

"That is it. Well, one of the rooms at least. We should start going now. It is a long trip"

"All right, let's get packing." Said Link. We packed up everything. We put the big stuff on Epona. Link went on Epona and Zelda went up after him. We realized there wasn't enough room for me. Link started to get off the horse

"No! Its ok Link, I can walk. Please, get back on the horse." Link nodded and got back on Epona. I started walking in front. I would lead and they would follow. I liked this idea. Well, I lead them to the forest where I was earlier that day. All along the way, I climb through trees and bushes and vines. I found out I am not cut out for that type of stuff. But I will act tough! I will not give up.
