Man, was it a humid day, and no shade present in the market, it might be a hassle to find milk. Searching left and right, Link looks for a place that might sell milk. He's never actually bought milk, that was usually Zelda's job, but it's good to switch things up sometimes.

Link places his hand above his eyes for some shade, looking, but not seeing a selling in sight. "This is what I get for listening to Zelda." he mumbles, "I have no insight on where to purchase milk." he sighs.

He turns to a random citizen in a rush to get to someplace, but stops them. "H-Hey! I'm in a rush!" the fat lady said, huffing. "Is there something you need of me?!"

"Actually yes - there is." Link calmly said, "I'm in desperate need of…milk?"

"Excuse me?!" she held her chest with a big gasp, "Is that any way to approach a lady!?"

Link stood there with a blank face, then realized what she was saying. "No, no…" he said awkwardly, "Milk…from the market…"

She removed her hand away from her chest, then awed, "I-I'm sorry." she quietly said to him, "I work at the grocery market near the west exit," she started, "we haven't had milk for the past week, sorry lad.."

Link nodded, "Thanks…you can leave now."

"Oh. I'm glad I can help, nice meeting you, kind man." she waddled off with the flow of traffic of the other citizens. By time he looked back, she was already gone. Our hero was now in a tough part. He couldn't return home to an angry wife and hungry child, so he had to come up with some type of plan…

Then he thought, Ordon.

Goat milk.

Bingo.

Was his name, O.

Link rushed back to the front of the castle-home to reach Epona eating the side grass. He quickly mounted onto her, making his way out of the heavily packed market, on his way to his former village he lived at. Reaching Hyrule field you have your typical bad guys outside the gate of castle town. Link unsheathed his sword and slayed any monster approaching his way. The sun slowly settled and the orange skies greeted the lands. Epona slowed down as they came to Faron Woods. Going past the spring and the bridge gave Link memories of the trouble-some village kids, and Ilia, Link's longtime village friend. Shortly across reminiscing, we reached Link's home.

"Hmm.." he thought, "This place hasn't changed one bit."

Link dismounted Epona, to analyze his old home in the treehouse. A lot of work has gone into his home that he once lived in. Living with Zelda, he didn't have to worry, but it was still impressive. A few spider webs formed on the spaces of the wooden ladder. He ran his fingers though the transparent webs, thinking back on the good memories of Link making the tree home.

"I'll have to go in there sometime soon." he patted the ladder, then patted both hands knocking off the dirt off his gloves.

Taking a lead on the trusty horse, they made their way into the village, not knowing what to expect.

He left Epona by the ally way to the former hero's home, and walked up to the ranch. Surprisingly, no villagers were out, so it made time more scarce.

"Link! How have you been, buddy!"

The goat owner hollered from the other side of the field. "I'm just about to close up the barn, was there something you needed?"

"Yeah, there was." he ran up to him, "I know it's been a while, but I'm kind of behind schedule." Link explains.

"Oh, no problem!" they finally meet to each other, "I know you been living all high-and-mighty now with the princess since you're marriage, but stop by here sometime, will ya?"

"Yeah, I will. I just wanted to know If you could spare me some goat milk." he folds his arms, "Zelda asked me, and there was none at the market…so I thought I could get some from here."

"OF COURSE!" the un-named goat herder exalts, "I just milked some fresh, go ahead and grab some."

"Thank you." he backs up, "I knew I could always count on you."

Link walks to the barn and sees a few bottles of milk on the ledge ready to be shipped out to Castle town and snatches one. The smell of the goats hit his nose right away, and the constant noise of the goats whining. It brought back more memories of controlling the Goats back into the barn when it was time to close up. Making his way out of the dark damp barn into the orange skies and the barn owner.

"Aye, too bad Epona isn't here, I would've asked that you helped me bring the remaining goats back." the barn owner sighed, "It's been good seein ya, Link."

"Take care."

Making his way out of the barn, Link's mission has been completed. Nightfall was approaching, and he had to be back in time for his wife to cook, and not give him shit when he comes back. Link hopped over the barn fence, and looked out in the village. Not much people were outside, but it sure was quiet. Questioning to say 'Hi' to the former villagers. Without turning back, link was making his way back to the tree house to go back to castle town.

"Hey." a voice said from behind him.

Turning around dramatically, he was Ilia, and a smile immediately came across his face. She looked the same, her hair still short, with a sweet smile and kind atmosphere. She had some new village wear, and same attitude. "It's been awhile…why haven't you visited Mr. Big shot?"

Link sighed, and scratched his head. "It's been hard. I miss this village." he admitted.

"Mhm." she walked closer to him, "You just left, Link.. You didn't say goodbye…I didn't know you'd be gone forever."

"I was going to-"

"No, you weren't!" she yelled, "…Like the reason you came was to get your milk, wasn't it?"

Guilty Link looked down at the bottle of goat milk he was gripping. He knew she was right. He probably wouldn't have come back here if it wasn't for the unfortunate market not getting the goat milk.

"I'm sorry, Ilia." he whispered, "Being here now, I do miss everyone."

"Even me?" her voice raised.

He paused before answering, "Of course, Ilia." he stuttered, "Why wouldn't I…"

"I missed you two, Link." she blushed, "I-I bet your wondering where everyone is…nothing big, it's just getting late, a-and I bet if you came back, they'd be outside."

"I see." he paused, then started walking backward, "Its…getting late." trying to escape.

Ilia quickly gripped his hand that didn't have the milk in it, and pulled him in the opposite direction towards the mayor's home.

"Please, not so soon." she begged, "You can leave in two minutes, I promise!"

Link couldn't refuse, but he knew the princess would be in deep anger if he didn't return soon. "I-I guess not." he agreed.

Ilia had a smile come across her face as she skipped back to her home holding his hand. "I'm glad!" she continued smiling, "My dad isn't home, but he should be back soon."

Link nodded, but his face expression remained in fear. He knew something bad was coming.

Shortly upon reaching the Mayor's home, he remembers the larger home than the other villagers, and Ilia's room upstairs. Link smiled as he scoped the room with more and more memories.

"So…where's your dad again?"

"Dunno."

"You…don't know?"

"Yeah, why does it matter?"

"No reason." Link awkwardly looked away, "Was there something you needed?"

Ilia's shoulders deflated as she gave link a disappointing look, "C'mon Link…" she walked closer to his space, "why are you acting like that?"

Link got more nervous as his prophecy became more real, as he was foreshadowing something bad happening. "What do you mean? L-Like what?"

"So territorial." she interlocked the one hand that was free, "Link, relax…and don't let go."

Speechless he remained as the village mayor's daughter came on to Link, and holding his hand, she pulled him down to her level. She put her other hand on his neck, Link lost sense of what was happening, causing him to lose grip of the other hand with the goat milk, causing it to shatter all over the floor before thier two's feet. Link had moved his free hand to her face, as she let his lips glide across to hers as lips met. The firewood crackled away with what remaining light there was outside, and helpless Link took the bait and continued to kiss her. He started to get into the kissing, gripping her tighter, and motioning into her face more, as was vice versa for her.

Then, pictures of Zelda and his son came up in her head, then he instantly pulled away from her, leaving her devastated, wanting more.

"W-wait, what am I doing!" he quickly turned for the door, but before he could the front door opened fast, causing him to run into a rather large man, realizing it's Ilia's dad, the village mayor.

"LINK!" he yelled with joy, "You came to visit!"

Link stared into his eyes shocked, but couldn't answer and just continued to run out. He dashed for the tree house where Epona was to head out back to Castle town.

"What's wrong with the Lad?" he said to his daughter. "He seems quieter than usual."

Ilia stood there, then ran outside the arch of the front door, "LINK!" she yelled as two streaks of tears ran down her eyes. She turned back inside to her father, "DAD, SERIOUSLY?!" as she stomped back up to her room. He looked at her with a puzzled look.

Shit, I would too.

Link's ride back to castle town was pretty fast, seeing how in distress he was. Sweat droplets ran down the side of his temple, he'd never been in a situation like that before.

Back flipping of Epona and running back into the castle, he yelled, "ZELDA?" he scoped the foyer to see or hear nobody in sight. He stumbled into the kitchen to see writing written across the wall in black ashes of what seemed to be - power.

'DON'T FIND THEM OR I'LL TELL YOUR PRECIOUS WIFE. GANONDORF.'
