On to the chapter!!!

As the rider drew nearer Kalas could see it was a teenager, about his age. "Hello there," The person said in a friendly voice. Kalas' eyes grew wide when he saw the teen had incredibly long ears.
"H-hi," Kalas began and froze when the long-eared person jumped off his horse. The one-wing was also a foot taller than him, though the other teen was much more muscular. "Malon and her father are out at the moment so they told me to watch the ranch today." the green clad teen said.
Holding out his hand the elf smile grew wider, "My name is Link." "Kalas," the blue-haired teen said shaking Link's hand.
"Are you travelers?" Link asked, his blue eyes glancing at Lyude sitting in the background then back to Kalas. "You could say that," Kalas said looking the elf up and down, puzzled at the sight before him. Link cocked his head to one side, seeing Kalas' eyes going over him.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Kalas blinked and his eye twitched "Uhh... well... I've never seen anyone like you before." Link's eyes narrowed in confusion "You not from around here are you? Almost everyone in Hyrule looks like me," Link pointed to his ears.
"Hyrule? What's that?" Kalas' looked even more puzzled. "Your in it!" Link exclaimed astonished. "Everywhere around you is Hyrule and is ruled by the King. Are you even of this world?" Link shook his head. "I'll stop the questions, I'll have them all answered in time. Right now I must get you to Hyrule castle."
Kalas nodded and looked over his shoulder signaling Lyude to come over. Lyude stared his approach, then stopped as he drew nearer, seeing the huge tan creature beside Link. Link chuckled at his astonished face.
"This is Epona, my horse. I'm Link." he added looking at the red-head. "Lyude it's a pleasure," the imperial officer bowed slightly. Link mounted Epona and sighed. "Unfortunately Epona cannot carry three people." Kalas smirked, "Lyude you go with Link."
Lyude nodded and started to walk towards Epona. The horse snorted, as if asking Link if she should let him come closer. "It's alright Epona," Link said soothingly, patting the horse's neck. Link helped pull Lyude into the saddle so the officer sat behind him.
"Hold onto my waist," Link instructed and Lyude did so, though he looked uncomfortable about it.
"I'll follow you." Kalas said, his eyes gleaming. Link's eyes narrowed. "You will not be able to keep up with her," the elf said uncertainly.
"No I will..." Kalas said confidently and with those words a blue light swirled around him and he closed his eyes, feeling the warm spirit of his heart. Once the light dimmed there was a single deformed gray wing outstretched on his back.
Link looked bewildered, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open. "Wings?" Link said is a questioning tone, but not meant to be rude. Kalas looked down at the ground in shame, why did it sound like he didn't know what they were? "Me and my deformed wing of the heart..." the teen muttered.
Lyude saw that his friend was hurt and softly placed his hand on Link's shoulder. "We should go," Lyude said in a hushed voice. Link nodded noting that Kalas looked sad. "Let's go," Link said in a happy tone. The elf snapped Epona's rains and the horse galloped down the passage. Kalas flapped his wings and lifted off the ground and flew after them.

"Woah..." Kalas stared up at the castle before them. "This is Hyrule Castle," Link said proudly. "This is nothing like the structures back home, not even in Diadem," Lyude said in awe.
"Let's go in," Link said and began to walk towards the front gate. Kalas and Lyude followed the elf through the doors down the hall all the way to a pair of door with guards standing on either side.
"Sir Link!" The guards bowed their heads slightly. Link must be a big-shot around here... Kalas thought as Link spoke to the guards. "May we see the King?" he asked. "I am sorry the King is out at the moment and will not be back for several days," one of the guards said. "But Princess Zelda is here," added the second.
Link smiled, "May we see the Princess then?" "Yes I don't believe she is busy at the moment," said the first guard and he opened the doors. Link nodded his thanks and walked into the throne room. Kalas shared a nervous glance with Lyude before following the elf.
Once Link got to the foot of the throne he bent down on one knee and bowed his head. Kalas and Lyude mimicked Link's movements.
"Raise Link, Hero of Time," Zelda said in a soft, kind voice.. Link at once stood, but bowed his head.
"And who are they?" Zelda walked toward the two teens who were still kneeling. "You can stand you know," Zelda smiled and both Kalas and Lyude hastily stood.
"I have never seen you here before," Zelda looked at Kalas and then to Lyude. "That is because we aren't from your world," Lyude began.
He explained about the five continents, how most of them had wings, and why they came to be in Hyrule.
"And now we are here," the imperial officer concluded. Zelda looked at Link with wide eyes and he looked equally bewildered.
"Were are my manners?" the Princess asked apologetically. "Both of you look exhausted we can continue discussing this tomorrow once you've rested."
Kalas suddenly did feel tired and his head hurt. "Link please see to it that they sleep well tonight," Zelda said and Link nodded.
Link turned to Kalas and Lyude, "We'll go back to Lon Lon Ranch, alright?" Both teens nodded. They all bowed to Zelda once more before leaving Hyrule Castle.

"Darn Lyude's already asleep..." Kalas whispered looking and the unmoving teen. "He just got in bed five minutes ago."
There was a knock at the door. Kalas got off his bed and walked over to the door and opened it. Link stood there with a bag in his arms. "Hi Link, what's up?" Kalas asked.
"I came to tend to your wounds," Link said holding up the bag. "Well Lyude is already asleep, can we do it tomorrow?" asked the one wing. The elf smiled "We can do it in my room, this way we won't disturb Lyude."
"Alright," Kalas said walking out of the room and closing the door behind him. They walked across the hall into Link's room and closed the door.
"Sit down," the elf nodded towards the bed. "Ok," Kalas his as he was told and sighed, his eyes beginning to close.
"I know your tired so I'll make this quick," Link smiled and unwrapped Kalas' head from the makeshift bandage. He cringed slightly, "That's a nasty bruise you've got." Kalas smirked, "I thought you were a hero, does the sight of blood make you faint or something?"
Link's eyes flashed with amusement. "Only when some poor wretch like you is hurt and you need my help." "Hey! For your information "Hero of Time" I happen to be a strong swordsman!" Kalas glared, though not nastily.
Link chuckled, "Oh you. Lay down on the bed." As soon as Kalas' head hit the pillow he was out. The he closed his eyes and let the feelings of Link tending to his wound wash over him.
The feeling of the wet cloth.
The sting of the medicine being pored onto his wound.
The feeling of Link's warm hands against his face...
"Good night... Kalas," Link's soft voice said just as Kalas drifted to sleep.
