Chapter 4

There was still a gnawing feeling in my heart, like I was missing something. I couldn't define what it was, or where it was coming from, but I knew that I needed to get rid of it. The question was…

How…?

I stared out the window of the store we were in. the stain-glass windows were getting pelted with rain and hail, but the store-keeper said it would go away soon.

Even if it did, the gnawing feeling at my heart would still be there, and I would still be sad.

"Link," I thought at Link, "why is there this gnawing feeling at my heart? I feel like I'm…I'm… missing something…" I sighed as Link turned around from talking to the store-keeper. "I don't know," he replied simply. Zelda was still in her castle, which was now lonely as ever. But we couldn't go back, since the pelting rain was still going on.

I felt like I needed to go out. I turned on my scents, and sniffed around for a way out. Link wasn't paying much attention to me, so I could go out if I wanted to.

If I could find a place to dig out.

I sighed. This new body hadn't made a good first impression on me so far.

I finally found a way out. There was a dirt patch in the storage area, and I dug under it.

Once I was out, I trotted towards Hyrule field. I began to run once I was in the middle of it. I saw the Faron Woods, but just as I was about to go in, something snatched me up by the neck.

"Hmm… so you're the new portal, eh?" I struggled in the man's iron hold.

"Well, we'll just have to take care of that."

Sharp pain.

That was the first time I felt it, for real. Not muscle cramps, not falling off a bike.

Sharp pain from a knife.

I yipped as the dagger cut into my stomach. The blood wasn't red, it was pure light. Like, not white. It was pure light.

The light shined in the indefinable man's face, and he dropped me, and ran into the fog.

Meanwhile, my stomach was still shining turquoise and white. Once the light had gone, I was unconscious.

When I woke up again, it was warm. I felt warm. I could see a blanket. Am I in Zelda's castle? I wondered, but then answered for myself. No, this isn't Hyrule castle. Too cramped. My half open eyes could only take in some of the info. I sniffed, but my nose didn't work at all. My head was aching and throbbing like it had when I had first turned into a portal wolf.

I could hear, but only parts. I couldn't speak into anyone else's mind any more. "Is… okay?" I heard someone say. My vision was blurry, so I only could see black and white.

"portal…wolf…Link…move…!" I was lifted up, but my body, for the most part, was numb. "care!" I wasn't listening any more. It didn't make much sense.

Then, after a long silence, "Dacia! Elp!" what does… my body wasn't working right any more. I couldn't even think in full sentences!

"Elda! ained!" the words weren't coming right to my ears. My stomach was throbbing with pain. It was all I could think about.

Suddenly, the pain stopped. I thought I was set on a bed, but I wasn't sure if it was soft or scratchy or itchy...

I was thrown unconscious again.
