The Legend of Zelda: Time Stands Still

"So Link," Crystalline said as they walked through the forest. "How do you plan on finding your friend?"

"I don't know." He admitted.

She frowned at that, and continued through the forest. A few times she tripped, but eventually they could see the ending to the forest.

They saw a vast lake just at the edge of the forest.

"Alright, what now?" Link asked.

"Hmm," Crystal thought for a moment. "I know!" She spread her hands in front of her face and closed her eyes. Suddenly, ice shot from her hands and onto the lake, freezing it. "There. Come on now!" Crystal said and ran up to the ice.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Link questioned, taking a tentative step towards the lake.

"Of course! It's about eight inches of ice!" Crystal replied.

"OK, but, where did you learn how to do that?" Link asked, as they set out on the ice.

"Let's just say, I'm not from around here." Crystal said flatly. She walked quicker, and Link had to run to catch up with her.

"What did I say?" He asked.

"Nothing." She transformed into a fairy. Link sighed, and continued on.
"Since when did all this water come from?" Link said with awe.

"I don't know. I guess there was a flood... Wait, if there was a flood, then I wonder if Kakariko is OK?" Crystal said, flying around.

"I think it would be." Link stopped.

"What? Do you hear something?"

"More like someone." Link said running forward.

"That music..." Crystal trailed off. They were hearing a song Zelda always sang, called 'The Ballad of the Goddess'.

"Zelda?" Link said hopefully. The girl turned.

"Who's Zelda? I'm Echo." She had golden brown hair that reached her shoulders, and a white dress that ended at her knees.

"Echo?" Crystal asked, turning into her Hylian form.

Echo's eyes widened. "Are you a fairy?" She looked at Crystal fearfully.

"You could say that." Crystal said.

"Anyways, did you see anyone come by here, anyone at all?" Link asked.

"No, I don't think so." Echo said.

"Oh, well thanks for your time." Link looked crestfallen as he turned to walk away.

"Unless, you're talking about a blonde girl with a tall companion?" Echo asked.

"Yes! Which way did she go?" Crystal said.

"That way. Good bye!" Echo waved. She pointed in the direction of Lake Floria.

"Thank you." Link said as he left for Lake Floria.

"Link, wait up!" Crystal said, and quickly caught up to Link.

"Sorry. So, Lake Floria is this way, come on!" He suddenly started running, to save time Crystal guessed.

Not too long after, a Lake came to view. Lake Floria.

At Lake Floria, they heard something. Link looked at Crystal. They dashed over to the edge of the lake. And they saw something they didn't expect to see.

"Is that-" Link cut off Crystal before she could finish.

"Zelda!"

Hope you like! R&R!
