The black particles rose from the ground. Zelda and Helios stood, with Link back in a familiar form. Zelda screeched, "A wolf! A wolf! Kill it! Kill it!" She unsheathed her rapier and swung at the wolf. "Gods damn it..." He grabbed the rapier, and threw it off the edge. "It's Link, Zelda. Wouldn't you remember?" She shook her head, "It's been three years...I don't remember much..." She turned her head, and stared at the wolf, "I'm so sorry..." Link growled silently, waiting for Zelda to take the hint, and leave. "Come on, we have to look for her," Helios stated impatiently. Link's tail stood on end, as he has a fairly good idea of who he's looking for. He got on his knees, and no longer did a young man stand there, a wolf, with fur as black as night and eyes the color of crimson. "Well, Link? Come on!" Helios motioned with his head. Link sat there, baffled at the event that just took place, nevertheless, he couldn't wait to see her again, so, they took off. ~~~~~~~~~~ Zelda groaned, "We've been climbing this damn palace for hours...can we take a break?" What happened next, just amazed Link. "Zelda...if you need to, just get on my back. I can carry the weight." The black wolf spoke. "....you're calling me fat, aren't you?" Zelda crossed her arms. "No, it's just...ugh...just get on my back." "Go sidesaddle!" Link thought, and laughed. Helios growled, "You're lucky she can't hear that, mangy mutt. But that might be the smartest thing you've said so far." He turned towards Zelda. "Put both of your legs on one side of me, you should be more comfortable like that." She nodded, and did just that. Many floors later, they reached the palace room. Zelda got off, and knocked on the door, and waited. Helios, still in his wolf form, facepawed. He placed a paw on the door, and it somehow opened. He made a motion to follow him. "Helios! Back so soon?" A voice exclaimed. No longer did a black wolf stand, Helios stood, in his "human" form. "Yeah. It took longer to get him though." "Who's hi- no....you didn't...." A click-clack of shoes echoed throughout the room.  "L...Link?"
