Dark and Nira entered the forest and looked around. The village was still and empty. No one was around. Nira held Dark's hand tighter. She had never been in the forest before. Her father had told her stories about it before when she was young. " This way." Dark tugged her alittle. " Dark." he looked at her. She looked so exhausted. He gave a small smile. He bent down next to her and gently picked her up. She layed her head on his shoulder. Dark looked around and saw the tree house that he and his brother lived in. Memories of playing and running around gave Dark a sense of hope. Those memories are what kept him sane in the Water Temple. And now, he had Nira. A wonderful girl that barly knew him and had joined him, not knowing of his past or his present. He felt honored beyond anything.
He reached the house. " Nira-" He saw that she was asleep. He didn't want to wake her. So, he carefuly, climbed up the ladder to the tree house with one arm and her in his other arm. He made it too the top and carried Nira inside, the house was small, but big enough. He found his and Link's old room and layed Nira on the bed. Surprisingly, she fit on too the bed. Her hair slid to the side of her face. He slowly tucked the small bit of hair behind her ear. She looked so lovely while asleep. Dark moved away, as he walked the door way to the hall, but he almost tripped. He caught the side of the wall. " Dark?" He turned and saw Nira, she was leaning on her side looking at him.
" Nira. It's okay. Go back to sleep. I wont be far." Nira smiled and layed back down. The curtains moved with the aid of the wind. Dark walked over and placed the blanket from the other bed over her. The wind made her hair dance around her face. Dake wanted to hold her, but he didn't want to wake her. He sat on the other bed, watching her for awhile before he drifted to sleep.
Ganon's Castle
Darcis blasted Velon threw the wall. Ganon sat at his throne laughing. " You let her get away! " " Darcis, allow me to explain. I know where he went." Darcis calmed himself. " I'm listening." Velon got up and knelt before his cousin, then rose. " He has taken her to the forest. With your permisson father, I would like to have another chance to bring her back her." Ganon smiled. " Of course, my son. Darcis, will allow it also." Darcis turned and scrowled his uncle. " Uncle! Are you out of your mind?! He failed."
Ganon didn't say a word to his nephew. He stood up and went to his son. " Go and rest, Velon. Then when you are well rested you may act upon your plan." Velon nodded. Darcis lumped in his throne and looked at his uncle. " Darcis, your cousin is doing his best for you. Be calm adn just patient." " Yes uncle." Darcissaid with anger and wearyness in his voice. " She's mine. Not that damned slaves." Dacris said underhis breath.
