Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda.

A/N: My apologies for this being late. I tried to get myself on a schedule but that failed miserably and with a summer college course coming up, I have no idea what time I will (or won't) have. So just as a sort of public service announcement to all those who are still interested, I'll update as I can and hopefully that'll be somewhat often, but I can't guarantee.

And before we begin, I'm going to implement a 'key' if you will into my following chapters.

Conversations and the like will appear as plain text.

Internal musings and thoughts will appear in italics.

Should simplify things, I hope...

Appreciation

It was dark as Link quietly crept through Ordon. The peaceful village hadn't changed a bit since his quest began, over a year ago. The same people kept the same habits, although now they were a little older. As he approached Rusl's house, he couldn't help but think fondly of Colin and how he and the others had grown so much in so little a time. Before Link knew, he was just within sight of his intended destination.

"Who goes there?" called Rusl, not seeing it was Link.

"Oh Rusl! It's me!" he called back.

As a torch was held into the night sky, Rusl could finally see the green tunic of the Hero. Link smiled as he neared and shook Rusl's offered hand.

"Good to see you again Link," he smiled. "Come now, inside. It's not safe at this time of night."

The reference to the incident with the beast was subtle, but Link picked it out clearly. Such things use to bother him, but now a days, he simply shrugged the comments off.

"Yeah, no use leaving ourselves out in the open."

"Agreed," the man replied while opening the door. "Come on in, Colin is sleeping over at Talo's tonight and Uli is already in bed... Don't think we'll wake the baby..."

Link smiled as he stepped inside remembering his first encounter with Sheila. She was nearly a year old and was already throwing odds and ends at people whenever she had the chance. Link chuckled as he recalled being hit by one of her baby bottles, square in the nose.

"So Link, what brings you here at this hour?"

"Ah...yes," Link stuttered caught in his daydream. "Well... I've got a friend staying over at my place and we're about to leave for a dangerous trip up to Snowspire and we need provisions... I wanted to know if you'd be interested in making a small sword as I don't have anything in storage that would be of use."

"Ah of course! I'd be happy to make one for you. I was actually going to mold some steel tomorrow. Shouldn't take too long; when are you leaving?"

Link frowned, "Two days..."

Rusl was taken back, "Two days? That's just enough time to make the sword in its most basic form... I'll have no time to furnish any of the intricacies."

"I know, but it can't be helped; this matter is one of urgency."

"Right," nodded Rusl as he scratched his chin. "You got the specs worked out? Here, let me write 'em down."

He fumbled around for some parchment and a quill and waited for Link to start.

"Alright... Make it roughly three and half feet with an extended handle... Overbalance the hilt so that its easier to spin the blade as if you're spinning a tiara. I also need a quiver with at least... sixty arrows... She's a bit rusty when it comes to the bow and I think she needs improvement."

Rusl was nodding and writing but jerked at the last comment. "She???" His eyes quirked, "Who exactly is your lady friend, Link?"

The young hero fought hard to suppress a blush and was failing. Lucky for him, the room wasn't as bright as it would have been in the daytime.

"Her name is Zelda..."

Rusl did a double take this time, "Zelda...? You mean, Princess Zelda?"

Link sighed, "Well.. I suppose I was going to end up telling you this anyway..."

With training and the shopping list put aside, Link began retelling the tale of his journey to Hyrule Castle as well as the flight from said castle with everything in between. Thanks to Zelda, he too had been brought up to speed.

"This is bad..." mumbled Rusl. "The princess has been overthrown and now Castle Town is deserted?"

"Seems that way," grumbled Link. "Had I only been able to dodge that arrow, things might be different."

He rubbed his shoulder where the wound was located. Although Rusl couldn't see, bandages were still wrapped around Link's arm and the area was still a little sore.

"Now Link, there is nothing more that you could have done given the circumstances. It's best to just move forward with what is known."

Link nodded in agreement. "I know, hence the training. I'm not exactly sure what to expect when we begin our journey to Watcher's Way, and I want to be as prepared as I can."

"Watcher's Way..." mumbled Rusl as he gave Link a questioning look. "Do you mean..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean to take the Pass of Gerudo? The mountain that divides Hyrule and the desert!?"

"Pass of the Gerudo? It has another name?"

Rusl's face grew dim, "It is a treacherous road through the cliffs. It starts on the southern most point near Lake Hylia before winding its way to the tops of the mountains... It's not bad for awhile until you reach Hylia's Glade..."

"Why don't I like the sound of that?"

Rusl frowned, "For nearly a day's journey you walk on a ledge that spans no more then about four feet wide with dead drops on either side. All the while there are rolling planes of sand to your far right and a rather nice view of the lake from your left with plenty of holes in between... It's a prime nesting ground for bulblin anchors and vultures..."

He left Link to this thoughts and went into a side storage room. Muffled sounds of crates being shifted and weapons being shuffled were heard as Link took his cue and got up and ready to leave. Rusl appeared once more with both hands full; in one hand was an old oak bow, aged from use, but still taught and able to fight. In the other was an enlarged quiver, holding triple the amount of arrows Link asked for.

"You might want to sharpen your own archery skills, Link. It is a road not to be taken lightly." He handed Link the items, "Take these, as gifts."

Link recoiled, "I couldn't! Allow me to pay for such things."

Rusl abruptly placed the items in Link's fumbling hands and placed a free hand on his shoulder.

"Take them," he said with a stern look, "it is the least I can do, let alone this village can do as thanks to you... And you know why, so don't bother to argue."

He couldn't help but smirk at his last words as Link's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"I won't forget this, I'll repay you some day."

Rusl chuckled lightly, "One day you'll see Link,"he began while opening the door, "you have already repaid me and everyone here for services we may never give you."

Link's face twisted in surprise before accepting the praise and bowing slightly with a big smile on his face.

"Have a goodnight Rusl, and thank you... for everything..."

The man nodded and watched as Link stumbled out the doorway and made his way back to his own dwelling in the dead of night. He smiled, shut the door and made his way to bed.

'We owe you much Link... Never think otherwise...'

He carefully got into place, next to Uli and settled down, with blissful memories of many years past. He was just about to shut his eyes when a sly thought came to mind.

'Training the Princess eh..? Hahaha... I should stop by tomorrow to see how she's holding up... I wonder if he remembers that one practice method I use to put him through...'

The mischievous grin melted away into a content smile and the weapons maker drifted off to sleep.

XX

As Link stumbled through the darkness with bow in hand and quiver on arm, his smile never faltered as memories of his own training expeditions came to mind.

Flashback

A boy dashed forward with a wooden sword drawn. Rusl took a defensive stance, his shield outstretched and ready for the assault. The boy made several quick swipes at the scrawny shield, attempting to crack and break it.

"Good strategy... If you were older and much stronger!" commented Rusl before paring the boy's sword with his own and then bonking him over the head with the shield. The boy dropped his sword immediately and held onto his head.

"If you're not more careful, then the next time this happens, you might lose your head instead of just getting a bruise..."

End Flashback

"Demonstration with a little bit of pain," chuckled Link, remembering the forgotten words of his mentor. A sly grin crossed his face as he set the items down by the ladder and began to climb. "Tomorrow... will be a grand day," he chuckled with a hint of mischief. "A grand day indeed..."

Hours passed by and in the distant horizon, the sky began to lighten, hinting at the coming day. The forests of Faron were almost completely silent, save for a young man who was out and about, gathering limbs and branches of all sorts. Link had slept for a few hours that night, but he had much to prepare before the sun's true rising. He worked tirelessly for two hours as the light raced against him. He set up all sorts of targets: the ones he used himself before venturing into Hyrule to save it from Zant, several long range targets that tested skill over power, and a select few had trip wires attached to them, for when arrows brushed against them or sank through, a surprise would be awaiting the attacker.

Link chuckled as he rigged the last of the targets, "Time to find out if she ever got any... real training..."

By now the sun was rising over the tops of the trees and the whole world seemed to glow in the sun's rays. Link walked over to the ladder and bent over, picking up a horseshoe like plant before creeping up the ladder. His stealth was compared to that of a mouse as he slid open the door and his face widened into a grin at what he saw,

"Just as I thought..." he chuckled, "still sleeping like a baby..."

He tiptoed over to the Zelda's, or rather, his bed and stood directly over it, the sun casting a towering shadow over her sleeping form. Mischief now gleamed in his eyes as he brought the plant to his lips. Instead of playing it like he normally would and producing a wondrous melody, he used his one free hand and clamped one end of the pipe plant shut. He drew in a deep breath and

SCREEEECCCHHHH

The resulting sound was enough to wake up all of Ordon as Zelda promptly sat up with a start.

"What in Wisdom's name are you doing!?" she panted, irritated and a little frightened.

Link's smirk didn't die, "Why, it's the crack of dawn my lady... Today, we'll begin your archery training... Please get dressed into the garments I've produced for you and meet me outside in ten minutes."

Without another word, Link promptly left as Zelda brought her feet to the floor rather harshly, "I would have been up by now if this bed weren't so comfortable!" she yelled at the closing door. After a few seconds, she realized the possible meaning of her words and blushed. After shaking the thoughts from her head, she turned to look at the table that Link had motioned to when he mentioned her clothes.

Upon inspection of the materials, she was both awed and afraid as to how she might look.

"Will he...? Will I look good in this to him?"

Deep down, despite her princess qualities, she was still just a girl and realizing time was not on her side, she quickly disrobed and went about getting into her new attire.

Outside, Link was pacing with a vengeance as he went over every possible scenario to her reaction with his choice of clothing.

"Does she hate it? Or maybe it's not her favorite color... What if I didn't guess the sizes right??? Or what if..."

His internal battle was stopped immediately as Zelda emerged from the small house. She wore a simple blue commoner's dress that parted half way down to reveal white stitching whose shapes resembled horses. All in all, the dress was simple and light, yet fitting, allowing it's wearer to perform grueling tasks such as quick movements and even short sprints.

"Umm... that's a uh..." Link stuttered while Zelda smiled as her cheeks burned.

"It's a worker's dress," she chuckled while descending the ladder. "Form fitting while offering the girl plenty of maneuverability while not sacrificing looks or strength of materials..."

Link's mouth hang slightly ajar as Zelda looked down, doing her best to hide the blush, "I use to wear one of these every evening when I would sneak down into the gardens to walk around and be by myself."

A comfortable silence passed between the two as both sets of eyes locked and two smiles formed on each other's faces.

"You look... nice..." Link mumbled shyly. Zelda giggled before turning around to gaze upon all the targets.

"I suppose this is where we begin?"

"You got it, unless you want something to eat first?"

Zelda shook her head, "No, I don't usually eat breakfast on work days anyway..."

She lifted her hands and a golden glow encased her before the bow of the Goddesses appeared in her hands.

"Now I'm guessing I'm just supposed to hit these on the mark right?"

She formed an arrow in the bow, aimed and the arrow shot right through the dummy, splintering it into a thousand pieces.

Link eyed her with admiration before pointing to some targets a little further away into the forest.

"Good... Now try and hit those..."

As Zelda took aim, Link quickly took out his sling shot and fired a round into the trees above the targets. He smirked as his action went unnoticed and waited for her to fire.

She waited a few seconds, satisfied she had her mark and let the arrow fly. She smiled for a moment, before it was replaced with a frown as the arrow streaked right past the now moving target.

She stared for a moment before turning to Link, "You tricked me!"

Link laughed, "No, that's life for you. I had a feeling you only trained with still targets; our fight with Ganon taught me that much. We need to increase your ability to hit moving targets, otherwise you won't be much use when we're on horseback."

Zelda's brow twitched, "He doesn't have to be so blunt..."

She turned back to her challenge and began to fire one light arrow after another, some hitting their mark, others completely missing. Zelda continued this well into the morning before finally collapsing to the ground.

"I... need a break..." she panted. "Those arrows... take some of my own energy to make and fire..."

Link smirked again, for the hundredth time already, as he tossed her the bow and quiver that Rusl had given him.

"I know," he said, offering her his flask of water, "which is why I went to Rusl last night to ask him if I could buy a new bow for you. Practice without those light arrows, and then once you have some strength back, switch back to them. We need to work on your endurance as well."

Zelda sighed as she got up, took the items and slung the quiver over her shoulder. She gazed momentarily at the bow, noting the marksmanship and tension before readying herself.

The area became littered with arrows after a time as Zelda continued to practice, altering between her light arrows and wooden ones. Noontime soon came and left, and by this point, she was starting to feel the effects of her training.

She panted hard as she fell back to the ground. All strength seemed to be zapped from her system and her right hand and arm stung from overuse. She was about to pick herself back up and start again, when Link appeared over her, holding a tray with a sandwich, some freshly picked grapes and cold spring water.

She looked at the food hungrily as Link set it down on the ground in front of her.

"Eat up," he said with a smile. "I'm going to go check on your progress."

She nodded and before he was even a step away, she tore into the food.

Link chuckled, "Shows her for thinking this would be a walk in the park."

As he neared the moving targets, he took out his slingshot and fired another round into the trees. Several monkeys dropped down and started dancing around him.

"Thanks for all your help guys, that'll be all for today."

They all jumped and danced before darting off in several different directions. He smiled again before taking a close look at all the targets.

"Hmm..." he mumbled while tracing his finger over holes in the targets. "Most of her arrows went clean through... And her accuracy has nearly tripled from when she started... She really is a natural..."

His smiling increased as he walked back towards the princess who was just finishing up.

"Well, you pass," he said as she started to smile.

"Told you I was capable."

He chuckled, "Yes well, after an entire morning's worth of practice."

She got up and proceeded to lightly 'tap' him on the shoulder, which turned out to be a little more of a punch then anything. He laughed a little more before walking over to the place where she let her bow and quiver lay.

"Alright, so you've proven your capabilities in short and long range firing on both stationary and mobile targets... You've got one more test before I deem you a 'decent' archer.

She huffed at that, "Fine, what is this so called test?"

Link's mischievous glint reappeared in his eyes, "You see those six hanging targets in the trees?" he asked while pointing in their direction. She nodded and he continued, "Well, believe it or not, those targets have trip wire attacked to them and each one you hit will shoot something back at you."

Her cocky grin slowly faded to a frown, "What exactly will I be shot with?"

"Two have decent sized stones, two have hanging branches that will fall at a different angle and two have arrows with very dull tips... I hope they at least fly straight."

Zelda looked at him with a mix of horror and fury, "Why are you doing this?"

Link smiled, slightly before it faded, "Because this is one aspect of how I learned, although most of my real training was rushed and a little... harsher let's say."

Zelda's fury vanished as a look of concern appeared on her face. She watched as Link's features dimmed and after all the time she spent with him over the year, she knew that meant a memory from his past endeavors had surfaced and the darker his face became, the harsher the memory.

"Oh, I hope he's alright... He's done this to me several times before..."

"Will... you tell me about it?" she asked quietly, not wanting to intrude.

Link was brought out of his musings with surprise and smiled warmly, although the gleam was still present, "Only if you mange to dodge three of the six shots fired at you."

Zelda's worry hid itself behind her warm smile and she nodded, accepting his challenge.

"Even if she doesn't make it... I'll tell her anyway..." thought Link, as she watched her get into position.

"If I may ask," she said while eyeing the targets, "is this exercise meant to test my ability to intercept objects coming at me?"

Link nodded, "More or less... The idea is to see how good your reaction time is. It also tests your ability to process information quickly... Although this isn't a battle scenario, the point is to simulate a real encounter with real possibilities... The more you dodge or deflect simply means the greater your firing rate can become and of course, the better the chance of you surviving an encounter."

Zelda awed at him. In all their time spent together, she never knew the background knowledge he possessed on weapons, deployment, strategy, everything that dealt with marksmanship.

"Of course his words are simple and very true but... He just seems to know so much... how...?"

Instead of plaguing her mind with questions she focused on the second target from the left.

"From it's appearance, its seems to be a counterweight... There's too much body and not enough straw to make it just a target... That means..."

She took aim with her bow and shot clear and true. The moment the arrow head struck the center of the dummy a tree branch fell directly overhead. Zelda had gauged it would be either a stone or branch and simply side stepped the falling object.

"Good," nodded Link. "That's one down, only two more to go."

She looked back to the targets and shot the third from the left. Here eyes darted left and right, while her senses searched for changes. A moment passed and she felt a small pebble bounce off her arm. She turned and found Link standing with his slingshot aimed and the cord already released.

Zelda stared a moment before realization hit, "Hey! That's not fair!"

Instead of a smile or a funny comment, she got a hardened look and a voice unlike the one she knew.

"Be alert when you engage in battle. I saw which target you took first. You went after the one that looked more like a counter balance then a dummy right?"

She nodded her head.

"Well, for the most part, visual assumptions can be made based on the knowledge you have of your enemy, which you did skillfully... But, whenever you go into a situation where little or nothing is known; expect the unexpected and be ready for anything."

All respect and courtesy left her as she was reduced to just nodding her head and gazing in fear at the man standing before her. For a brief moment, gone was the Link she knew and replaced with that of one who knew what war looked like; not from a noble's view, not from a peasant's view, but from one who was forced to deal death to those who stood against him.

She stood still as stone, her eyes locked on his and through him, she could see pain and suffering of a whole different level then her own. It was here that she realized that there was something more to the man that saved her and her kingdom; there was more to the Hero of Time then what she or anyone first believed.

His looks and attitude changed as quickly as the wind and he smiled sheepishly to her.

"Oh, sorry about that... That was just my serious side... You know, whenever I get into a tight spot, you've got to change your ways a little bit..."

Link rubbed the back of his head with uncertainty, "Geezz... I... I hope I didn't scare her..."

His eyes looked at the ground for a few seconds more before he returned them to her, only to find a confident and determined gaze in his direction.

She put down her wooden bow and glowed gold as her own bow came into being. Her movements were like water, trickling down the hillside. So fluid were they that Link caught himself staring, wondering if this was the same woman standing before him as a few moments ago. Zelda raised her bow, and four arrows appeared side by side. In a swift movement, all four shots were cocked and released, each one hitting its mark.

Two arrows shot from the treetops, while another pebble and branch came hurling at her. With the same fluid movements, she deflected the branch and pebble, sidestepped the arrows and after everything was said and done, stood next to a dumfounded Link.

"How... when... did you?"

"I told you," she smiled while adding a little seduction to her voice, "I'm capable of many things... Just as you..."

Any doubt that Link had of the Princess' ability to fight was instantly washed away. Her aim needed work, but her skills as a fighter were tested and proven. He smiled after the initial shock and once his voice started to work again.

"Im-Impressive Zelda..." he mumbled, while holding onto his goofy grin.

She smiled and giggled, "Okay, I've won, now it's story time."

Link laughed, "After a few more hours of practicing, then maybe."

Zelda smiled, although annoyed and turned back to the original targets and continued the training regimen Link had started her on. Several more hours went by and Link finally stopped her.

"Good work, Zelda... After we get this placed cleaned up and after dinner I'll tell you what you want to know... It's starting to get late and tomorrow proves to be just as interesting."

Zelda pouted for a moment before smiling playfully and walked off to gather her spent arrows.

After the area was cleaned, and Epona watered and fed, the two shared a meal of their own as the sun began to set over the village of Ordon.

The skies burned a beautiful scarlet with mixes of oranges and violets. Both wore content faces as their dinner disappeared, as did the plates after a good washing. Eventually, the twilight passed and the darkness came. A fire burned in the hearth as they positioned themselves closer to the flames. The night was exceptionally cold and they both desired warmth.

Zelda looked towards Link as his eyes focused intently on the dancing flames. Her heart nearly split in two, watching his bleak stare, the stiff shoulders, hardened face, pained screaming eyes. She nearly reached out and touched him but was brought out of her trance by his voice.

"I suppose you want to know a few things..." he mumbled. "What I meant by my earlier words... Knowing you, you probably also want to know why I have the Master Sword, considering I put it back, shortly after we parted for the first time..."

Zelda looked down, "It crossed my mind, I won't lie... But what matters most right now is you... Are you alright, Link?"

A wave of surprise flew across his face before a warm and genuine smile took over, "I'm... alright... I'll be alright..."

She stayed silent, wanting him to continue.

"You see... Zelda... Not all Heros have no weaknesses... Not all leaders do not doubt themselves or their abilities... Some are not as capable at being fearless..."

The silence between them could have been broken by a pin drop. Zelda could hear his ragged breathing, and could see the sweat starting to drip down his face.

"Something's been bothering him for a long time... Please Link... Open up to me..."

He continued to gaze into the fire, his blue eyes obscured by the his hair and the shadows, but what Zelda saw next froze the blood in her veins and stopped her breath; a tear, silver as Lake Hylia on a mid summer's eve, slipped down his face and fell to the wooden floor.

"When I first started... When the Twilight first came I knew what I had to do but I was not prepared for what would come... I was still green... Still new at battles and... killing... It wasn't something that should have been done easily but since I was fighting creatures that were tainted by evil, the true face of death eluded me... That is... until I came out of the forests of Faron... After I traveled into the West..."

His breathing was ragged and although he still kept his composure Zelda could see he was breaking.

"By chance, I came across a caravan that had been decimated by those Twili creatures and Bulblins... Bodies strewn about... blood everywhere... I eventually found a young girl... Your age... she had been flogged, at least it seemed it and her hands bound and her body ravaged..."

Zelda was silently crying along side him and she found herself crawling to his side.

"That was when I learned the truth of what I was going to do... What I was setting out to prevent... It became easier with time and I became better and more skilled despite my natural abilities... or at least that's what Rusl says... But each time I see you... Every time you shoot an arrow and practice and practice... I can't help but worry that if I'm not quick enough... Or you misjudge or I'm too far away and not protecting you... That you might... end up... like..."

Link stopped as he found two slender arms wrap around his waist and her face leaning onto his shoulder.

"No one... No one should have to bear the burdens you bear... Do not doubt yourself Link... It doesn't suit you..."

After some hesitation he slipped his arm around her and pulled her closer.

"It's funny... You worry about me almost as much as I worry about you..." she whispered, turning a slight pink, despite their current position.

Link chuckled a bit, "Can't help it."

Zelda smiled too, "Neither can I."

The two Hylians stayed by the fire in this way for some time as they both melted into the comfort they each offered to one another.

After an hour, Zelda reluctantly pulled away and looked at Link with one last question.

"If you don't mind... Would you tell me why you retrieved the Master Sword?"

Link sighed, and Zelda instantly lowered her head, thinking she overstepped her boundaries.

Link saw this, "Oh no Zelda, I didn't mean it like that... I'll tell you, the only reason I sighed is because it sort of relates to our current predicament..."

She perked up a little and nodded, "Go on..."

Link stood up and paced to the window that overlooked Faron's woods.

"About six months ago... I awoke in a sweat and a terrible desire to hold the sword... I don't know how, or even why but several hours later I found myself standing in the Sacred Grove, a few steps away from it... I don't know exactly what happened next, but I know what it felt like and when I came to, I was back here with the sword by my side..."

Zelda got up as well and walked over to him, "What do you mean you knew what it felt like?"

"Whenever I transformed into the wolf... the beast... I had this strange overshadow, sort of like Midna but darker and more... me... I don't know what it means but I've kept the sword here ever since and I've been trying to figure it out. I wonder now if maybe the 'second path' or however Ordona worded it, is starting to emerge and if so... where is this so called 'path' going to lead me?"

Zelda paced back and forth herself for a few moments, "I suppose that's a possibility... Maybe the Goddesses have something special for you in mind. It wouldn't be the first time they intervened... Maybe they foresee a reason for you to have, even keep the sword?"

Link nodded, "I would like to agree, but then it wouldn't explain why this... presence had a sense of foreboding."

"Maybe it was your instincts?"

"My instincts?" blinked Link.

"Yes," responded Zelda. "Wolves have a keen sense of smell and animalistic tendencies towards certain situations... Maybe, since you've been transformed into a wolf, some of these abilities have been carried over?"

Link thought for a moment and then turned to her with a smile, "You know, I think you're right... It's true some things have passed over... My sense of smell has nearly tripled and I can be very alert, more so then before."

Zelda smiled as well, "See? Nothing to worry about."

The two of them smiled again before Link began ushering her to bed.

"Alright, time for bed, we've got a big day ahead of us."

Zelda nodded while smiling and was about to slip under the covers when she felt Link's strong arms wrap themselves around her. She tensed for a moment before relaxing into him completely.

She could feel his breath against her neck and it sent shivers down her spine. He got closer to her ear and her mind began thinking up all sorts of ideas as to where this was going, but before she could react to them, he mumbled something that sent her into smiles and her stomach into butterflies. She nodded and felt him pull away and retreat to his couch.

Before long she too was in bed and just before she nodded off, she recalled his last words and they guided her to sleep,

"Thank you..."

XXXXXXXXX

A/N: Well, I tried to show a different side of the two heros. Both Link and Zelda's serious sides while showing Link's more fragile self and that there was far more violence Link had to face then first thought. I've also added a few subtle hints to future events, although I think they might be too subtle. Either way, hope you enjoyed it. R&R if you feel the need.
