Link climbed the high ladder and reached the top. Tetra was not far behind him. Ciela and Linebeck looked up when they heard a sword slash and a strange screeching noise from above. Suddenly, a strange creature with a hog-like face fell into the water dead.

Ciela gasped and gripped Linebeck's jacket. He felt his heart jump and looked at the ladder, awkwardly.

"Ladies, first," he motioned.

She gave him a look. "As if. You go first. I'm in a dress, Linebeck."

He blushed and face palmed himself. "I...right, right! Sorry, let me, uh, go ahead."

Ciela kept her wings up so they could avoid the water, and they seemed dry enough to fly her up the ladder. Linebeck hoisted himself onto the ladder and climbed. Giving her wings a flutter, Ciela slowly lifted herself out of the water.

Link met Linebeck at the top and helped him up. Ciela flew up and hugged herself to keep warm. Tetra shivered like a madman and her teeth chattered. They all sat down on the post, except for Tetra. She spotted a telescope and tried to see if she could find an island or ship nearby.

"You won't find anything at this hour, kid. Too dark out to see anything," Linebeck sighed, wiping water from his forehead.

"Yeah? Maybe you can't. Just watch me, old man," Tetra replied.

Ciela shivered the most since all she had to wear was a dress. Link removed his green cap and began to wring the water out of it.

Linebeck cleared his throat. "Well, considering the circumstances, it's a pretty nice view from up here. I mean, you've gotta admit."

Tetra took her eye from the telescope and frowned at Linebeck. Link and Ciela exchanged a glanced and stared at him, unsure of what to say.

"Well, say something for goodness sake! You all kill me with your silence."

Ciela shivered again. "Well, we were all nearly killed, Linebeck. Kind of difficult to...you know."

"Hey, I think I see something," Tetra gasped.

Linebeck rolled his eyes but Link jumped to his feet. He hurried to the telescope to get a glimpse and judge for himself.

A small wind blew by and they shivered even more. Linebeck glanced at Ciela and back at the floor. Link gave a small laugh and pointed out at the sea.

Tetra placed her hands on her hips and smirked. "See? There's an island out there. I'll bet anything that it's where the Temple of Nazku is."

Linebeck raised an eyebrow. "First off, who made you navigator? And second, that temple is days away. And third, exactly how far is this island? And fourth-"

"You are completely unbearable! Just trust me on this," Tetra spat.

"Trust you? A child with no sailing experience and with an ego the size of my mother's-"

"Linebeck! Honestly, will you two just stop fighting? It's late and we should be getting some rest. It's been a long day," Ciela sighed.

Link yawned and laid down on the wooden floor. Tetra gave Linebeck a hard glare and scoffed. She laid down near Link and closed her eyes. With a sigh, Ciela laid down and hugged herself to keep warm.

She felt so useless as a human now. Perhaps that is why Bellarius had then go to the Isle of Faeries. She just didn't know what to think. Closing her eyes, she tried to sleep and get her mind off of things.

Nothing helped. She tried to think of her grandpa and his enormous, blubbery smile. As several minutes passed by, she started to doze off. Suddenly, she was awoken. Something heavy was placed on her. It was cold and wet. Her eyes should open and she saw Linebeck walking back to where he sat before.

He wasn't wearing his long navy blue jacket. He had placed it over her.
