Dark and Link sat on the front porch of the house in the Lost Woods. No one bothered them, and Link showed the girls how to get throught the woods with wouldn't getting lost. Dark already knew the woods weel enough. He always hid here when he was going to get in trouble from his fariy. Nira and Zelda both payed very close attention. Getting lost in this place would be very bad.

Zelda sat at a pool swinging her feet back and forth. She felt Link's hands on her shoulers, moving in a small massage. He knelt next to her, kissing her cheek. She leaned her back against his front and sighed at how good the massage felt. She looked up at Link and smiled. She was happy to have him.

" So do we have any leads on where your sister may be?"

" After a year, yes. We have a possible lead. She may be in the desert."

" Nira and I can't travel there." Zelda said. " We would never be able to stand it as you and Dark can."

Link stopped massaging her shoulders, and wrapped her in his arms. " I know, my love. But, Dark and I will go and you and Nira will be safe here. Nothing can happen to you here while you are in the forest. You are also in the woods were no one really ventures too. You both are perfectly safe."

Zelda relaxed some. She still felt very worried about then traveling so far away. She looked at Nira and Dark dancing. They both looked so happy. Link picked Zelda up in his arms holding her close to him. Zelda didn't want him to leave. They had a great year together since, they helped save Nira form Ganon's nephew. None of them were safe. But, Nira and Dark would be in the most danger. Well, at least in Zelda's view.

" We are leaving in the morning. We tought we could spend tonight with the both of you." said Link.

Zelda nodded and loved that he was staying one more night. She just wanted Link to be safe and with her at all times. She wanted to protect him from everything that could harm him. She knew very powerful magic, which she was going to teach Nira, so she can defend herself even better. Link kissed Zelda's neck and her shoulder, giving her some comfort, of them leaving in the morning. He didn't want to leavr her, but, there sister was out there and they needed to find her.

" Raven! " Nabooru yelled, fending off Leevers.

Leevers live in the sand coming up to feed on blood of people or animals that venture by. They sometimes enter the temple in a huge pack.

Swirling golden sand and crystals came and pushed them out of the temple. Raven came and stood infront of her Mistress to protect her. Raven's crystal staff, was in her hand. She swung it around and slashed the Leevers away from them. One came up next to her legs, and sank its fangs into her skin.

" Ah!" Raven screamed.

Nabooru killed the blood sucker and sent it out of the temple like the rest. She looked at Raven, who was doing her hardest not to look at the blood that was flowing from her leg. Nabooru looked at her with concern. Raven had always been aware of enemies around her. Missign one every now and then okay, but, Raven never missed. And she looked so weary.

" Raven? You look exhausted. Have you been sleeping well?"

" I haven't been sleeping at all, Lady Nabooru. Your safty is the most important issue in this temple. My weelfare has nothign to be worried about."

" Raven." Nabooru said. " You need to sleep. I am very greatful that you are protecting me with your life, but I wish of you to go and get some rest. Right this moment."

Raven was going to argue but, Nabooru had that look, Raven shut her mouth. She bowed her head and walked off. She stopped at the large doorway, and turned back to her Mistress.

" My Lady? May I ask you something?"

" Of course, sweetie. What is on your mind?"

Raven knelt infront of her, to show respect to Nabooru. She hadn't exactly lied to her Mistress. She had been protecting her when she did not sleep. But, that wasn't the only reason Raven wasn't sleeping. She was having dreams. The same dream over and over. It was of her as a little girl with two boys, that were always playing games with her. Teasing her. Caring for her. It confused her greatly. Mostly because she had no memory of the two boys. She lefted her head and looked at Nabooru.

" Um. Did I ever have any siblings? I have this dream of two boys playing with me in a forest when I am very young. I'm only asumming they are brothers, they act like it."

Nabooru sighed. She knew who she was meaning. She was just never very sure they were here brothers. When the witches had taken her prisoner, they spoke of Link and his brother to her often. Telling how one very very dark souled and one was very pure souled. Raven was both and was a sibliling to two very powerful heros and she was just like them in so many ways. But, Nabooru couldn't say anything without knowing it was really the truth. She didn't want to give Raven false hope.

" I don't really know, sweetie. Maybe you will find out one day. Just for now, please get some rest. You look as if you could walk as he dead. And I don't want you to be sick. You are like a daughter to me."

Raven smiled and nodded. She got up and just walked away. Nabooru watched her wave from side to side as she walked. She was so tired she could barly walk. Raven made it to her room and layed on the bed, laying her staff on the carpeted floor. Within moments she closed her eyes and drifted to a deep sleep, where she wasn't sure she would dream.
