Chapter Two-

Link sighed as he walked through the gates of Hyrule Town, he was finally here. The trip hadn't taken very long, only two days but Link had this feeling that someone was watching him. But when ever he had turned to look there would be no one there. Link sighed once again and rolled his shoulder, and looked up at the castle. 'Well better get going.' Link thought and began to walk towards the castle. Suddenly he was bumped into by a guy wearing a black cap with the hood covering his face, the man tilted his head just enough for Link to get a glimpse of black hair and brownish-red eyes.

"Sorry." The man muttered and ran off. Link watched the man turn into an ally way between two buildings with a shocked look in his eyes.

'Was that? No it couldn't be, could it?' Link thought to himself before shaking his head, 'It was just my imagination, stop thinking about him! It's common for people to have black hair and brownish-red eyes, not everyone who looks like that has to be him.' he thought then looked around at the towns people and saw that all of them either had blond hair or light brown hair, and blue eyes or green eyes. 'Okay, maybe it isn't that common, but that still doesn't make it him.' with that said, eer well thought, Link continued on to the castle.

Midnight watched his master closely as he thought before looking at the place where the man ran too with a suspicious glare. 'That man, his scent is the same as the one following us. What does he want?' He looked back to his master, 'If he wants to hurt him, know that he will have to face me!' The wolf thought with a growl, 'I swore to my Lord that I would protect this boy with my life and I intend to do just that.'

"Hey Link look, that girl looks to be waiting for someone." Navi said snapping Midnight out of his thoughts. Link saw a young woman with long red hair standing at the opening that seem to lead to the castle. Link walked up to the woman who spun around and gasped.

"Oh, uh, hello." The woman said and Link nodded hello, "I'm Malon what is your name?" she asked.

"Link." was all he said then looked back at the castle and was about to take a step toward it when she spoke again.

"My dad owns Lon Lon Ranch! Dad went to the castle to deliver some milk, and he hasn't come back yet." Malon said and Link looked at her then back at the castle "Are you going to the castle, fairy boy? Would you mind finding my dad? He must have fallen asleep somewhere around the castle." Link nodded before starting off toward the castle once again. When he finally got to the castle Link was meet with two guards guarding a big gate. The two guards looked at him funny then looked at his wolf with a cautious look in there eyes.

"Can we help you?" one guard asked.

"I need to see the Princess." Link said and the two guards looked at each other then back at Link and laughed. This confused Link, why would they laugh at him, he was here to give something important to her that would save Hyrule.

"So you say you want to see Princess Zelda, eh? You probably heard about her in town and decided you had to meet her." The first guard said.

'What is he talking about?' Link thought and Midnight narrowed his eyes at them.

'These humans thank they can just laugh at my Master like that?' Midnight thought angry, 'I will show then what happens when they laugh at him.'

"Go home boy." The other guard said in a soothing tone and seemed to be sorry. "I'm sorry you came all the way here for nothing." Midnight looked at him as if rethinking how he thought of him.

"Get out of here! The Princess would never grant an audience to the likes of you!" The first one yelled.

'Okay, this guy is really asking to be bit!' Midnight thought. Link looked at the two of them then turned and walked around a corner and leaned up against the wall and sighed. Now how was he to get in?

"Link! Look!" Navi said spotting some vines on the wall, Link turned and looked to where the little fairy was pointing to and smirked.

'That would be how.' Link thought then started to climb up the wall. Once he was up he crouched down to be as close to the ground as he could.

"But what about Midnight?" Navi asked.

"Don't worry about me, I will meet you over there." Midnight said and Navi nodded and followed Link as he began to carefully sneak past the guards that were stationed around the huge lawn. Finally after about two hours Link made it to the moat the surrounded the castle, he hid behind a tree waiting for the guard to look away when he felt something brush against his leg. He jumped, startled and looked down to see Midnight, he smiled and rested his hand on Midnights head, just then the guard looked away and Link sprinted for the moat. He quickly dove into it followed my Midnight.

"Huh, what was that?" The guard asked.

"I didn't hear anything" Another said.

"You sure?" the first asked.

"I'm sure that you're hearing things old man." the second said.

"Old man my ass!" the first said and Link decided to quit listening there and began to swim. He swam around a corner and noticed there was no guards around and climbed out of the moat and turned to look around. A little ways away was a man laying on the ground asleep and around him were crates full of milk.

"That must be Malon's father." Navi said and Link nodded.

'Well, I found him, now how do I wake him?' Link thought then wiped away a drop of water form his face and got an idea. Mido and his friends did this to him one time when he was a sleep and it woke him up, so it should surely wake this man up. Link looked and saw that the man was right next to the edge of the moat and smiled, 'That makes this so much easier.' Link thought then walked over to the man.

"How are you going to wake him Link?" Navi asked and Link lifted up his leg just enough to lightly place it on the man's stomach.

"Like this." Link said before pushing the man into the moat, Navi gasped and Midnight smirked.

"Link! Why did you do that! You could have hurt him!" Navi yelled in Link's ear. Link winced and swatted at her.

"Calm down Navi, Link knows what he is doing" Midnight said. 'I hope' he thought

"But." Navi started just as the man came sputtering up out of the water.

"See the man is okay." Midnight said, 'Thankfully' he thought.

"What in tarnation? Can't a person get a little shut-eye around here?" The man asked and looked up at Link as he tried to get out of the moat. "Hello, and who might you be?"

"Are you Malon's father?" Link asked in a bored tone.

"Yup, I'm Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. I went to the castle to deliver some milk, but I sat down here to rest, and I guess I fell asleep." the man said looking sheepish

'And wet, very very wet.' Link thought with a smirk.

"She's looking for you." Navi said but the man didn't seem to hear her.

"She's looking for you." Link repeated with a sigh, 'I'm talking way too much today.'

"What? Malon was looking for me?" The man looked panicked now, "Oh, I'm gonna catch it from her now! I messed up bad, leaving Malon behind to wait for me! She's really gonna let me have it!" the man yelled before running away. Link raised an eyebrow at that.

'Okay' he thought then looked around and sighed. 'Now that that is done and over with, how am I going to get in and see the Princess?' He thought then spotted a small little hole in the wall it looked just big enough for him to fit, but the only problem was it was on the other wall., 'That will work if I could get there.' Midnight had also seen the hole and was now looking around and noticed that if Link were to move the milk boxes just a little closer to the edge then he could jump off them and onto the ledge that and crawl into the hole.

"Navi, tell Link to move the boxes closer to the edge and jump off them and on to the ledge to crawl into the hole." Midnight said.

"Um okay." Navi said, "Um Link, Midnight says to move the milk boxes closer to the edge and jump off them and onto the ledge to crawl into the hole." Link nodded and did as he was told and safely made it. Even Midnight had been able to jump onto the ledge and crawl through too. Now Link found himself in what seemed to be a small grassy hallway of some sort. Link walked forward and was about to turn a corner when he heard what sounded like a guard walking around. Link peeked around the corner and saw one guard walking around.

'Damn, I thought I was free of these guys' Link thought. 'Better not get seen.' When he saw the guard wasn't looking he darted past him and hid behind a bush he spotted another guard and saw he was about to turn and see him so he took a risky chance and ran passed that one and around another corner, Midnight and Navi were closed to follow. Link hid behind a bush and saw two guards standing and not moving. 'How am I gonna get past them?' Link looked to his right and saw a some steeps he looked with his eyes and saw it leading to a small then ledge that went over the guards.

Link smirked and silently stepped on the steps and quickly ran up then and onto the ledge, he peeked below him to see if he had been seen but thankfully they weren't paying attention. "Wow Link, you like a ninja" Navi whispered and Link held up his finger to his mouth to 'shh' her. She covered her mouth and nodded giggling.

'This is so fun' Navi thought. Link carefully began to cross the the little ledge, he turned when he heard something behind him and saw Midnight was also on the ledge. 'Wow, he's very agile for a huge wolf' Navi thought.

'I'm only huge to you because you are so small Navi' She heard Midnight speak, but she could tell that he didn't say that out loud. She gasped and covered her mouth to try and cover it up.

'But how I didn't say that out loud. Can-can he hear my thoughts, but no animal is able to read another living creature's thoughts!' Navi thought, 'He's no normal wolf!' she thought and saw the wolf smirk. Finally the group made it over the ledge and Link and Midnight quickly ran down the steps and around another corner where Link quickly hid behind a bush when he saw two more guards, but luckily they were moving.

'God damn, how many guards are there in this place?' Link thought and nearly jumped out of his skin when a sound to the right of the guards rang through out the place. 'What the hell was that?' Link thought as the guards looked at each other then took off toward the sound, which was at a wall. Link took that moment to dash past them and around a corner. He bent forward to catch his breath, after that was done he stood straight and walked into a little garden and saw a young woman standing in front of a small window looking through it.

"Who's that?" Navi asked as they walked up to the woman, the woman turn around and gasped.

"Who? Who are you? How did you get past the guards?" Link didn't know what to say so he said nothing and the woman looked at Navi and gasped again. "Oh? What's that?" The woman looked closer, "Is that a fair? Then you must be-are you from the forest?" Link nodded, "Then-then you have-you wouldn't happen to have the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?" Link looked confused.

'Spiritual Stone of the Forest? Does she mean the Kokiri Jewel?' Link thought.

"You know that green and shine stone?" The woman asked and Links eyes widened.

'So she does mean the Kokiri Jewel.' he thought.

"Do you have it?" she asked and Link pulled out the jewel that Saria had given him and showed it to her, the woman gave a small squeal and clapped her hands together and smiled at him. "Just as I thought! I had a dream, and in that dream, dark storm clouds were billowing over the land of Hyrule. But suddenly, two rays of light of light were billowing over the forest, parting the clouds and lighting up the ground. The lights turned into two figures holding a green and shining stone followed by a fairy. I knew that that was a prophecy that some people would come from the forest, yes I thought you might have been one of them." Link looked down at Midnight who seemed to shrug, he then looked back at the woman.

'Who is this crazy woman?' Link thought.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I got carried away with my story and I didn't even properly introduce myself!" the woman cried then bowed her head to him "I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule."

'Oh great, I have to give this jewel to this crazy woman, now I know why Hyrule is in danger.' Link thought.

"What is your name?" Zelda asked.

'Should I give her my name?' Link asked himself. 'She might kill me if I don't'

"Link." he said.

"Link." Zelda said as if testing the way it sounded from her own mouth she then looked confused, "Strange, it sounds somehow. . . familiar." She said slowly. Then suddenly clapped her hands again after a few moments of silence, startling Link. "Okay then, Link, I'm going to tell you the secret of the Sacred Realm that has been passed down by the Royal Family of Hyrule. Please keep this a secret from everyone." Zelda said and Link looked at Midnight.

'I know I'm going to regret this later.' Link thought then looked back at Zelda and nodded.
