Hey guys, long time, no read. I'm finally settled in for the summer, so I will be cranking these stories out as fast as I can. For this, just imagine that Cera looks exactly like Link, but with the white and black coloring switched with where Link's coloring is. Oh by the way, italics are talking done between Link and Cera, while parentheses are her thoughts.

The tunnels were swallowed in darkness as creatures made their way to their destinations. Deep within the dungeons of this place, lie two wolves in a cell, each with a paw chained to the floor.

It was like I was in a cloud, my senses slowly coming into focus. I felt confused as I tried to move my head or limbs to find nothing responding. I felt a cold nose on my face as I heard a voice.

Cera? Are you okay?

When I opened my eyes, I found a large black and white wolf staring at me with familiar blue eyes.

Link? Is that you?

I tried to speak to find I couldn't. I looked around to see myself covered in fur. (What happened to us?) Link helped me up to stand on my four. . . (Wait! What? Four? Four . . . paws!?)

I ended up jumping around trying to see myself, until I got twisted up by the chain. Link simply stared at me as I had my little mental breakdown.

Once I calmed down, I heard the voice again say, Are you okay now?

Is that you, I thought since I couldn't speak.

Yeah. I don't know what happened, but at least we can talk to one another. Sort of.

Yeah, I thought, okay.

We realized that we were both chained, but still tried to look around. It was a dark, damp cell that seemed to be a place to go and forget about someone. Link began to try to break the chain with his teeth as I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine. We both turned to see a creature appear from the shadows. The imp was black and white with green markings on its body with strange headgear as well. It simply stared at us with its ruby eye, until it formed a grin with a fang sticking out of its mouth and jumped through the bars.

"I found you," it declared in a voice that could only be described as feminine. Link moved to stand in front of me as she came closer. Link growled at her to try to scare her off, but it didn't seem to do anything.

"Oooh! Aren't you scary," she stated while giggling to herself.

"Eee hee! Are you sure you want to be doing that? Snarling and glaring at me?"

What is she, I thought.

I don't know, but stay behind me, Link replied.

"Well, that's too bad. . . I was planning on helping you . . . if you were nice."

Stop growling. If she can get us out, then we should listen to her.

We can't trust her. We don't even know if she is going to lead us into a trap, Link protested.

Well it's better than staying here, I replied. He slowly got out of his crouch, still watching the imp.

"Eee hee! That's much better! You humans are obedient to a fault, aren't you? Oops! But you AREN'T a human anymore, are you? You are both beasts! Eee hee," she said as Link began to glare at her again. He got frustrated enough that he ended up snapping at her.

"There, there. You be good pets and calm down. No need to bite," she exclaimed as she conjured up a ball of what appeared to be a mixture of lightening and shadow. She flung it towards us, which caused our chains to snap. We both looked down to see if we were really free from the accursed things.

Next thing we knew, she was in our faces saying, "You look kind of surprised! Eee hee hee! So! I bet you're wondering, where exactly are we?!" She suddenly broke apart into pieces and then reassembled outside of the cell.

"Well, I'll make you a deal. If you can get over here, maybe I'll tell you! Eee hee," she said as she yawned as if we were taking forever to get over there.

Stay here, Link said as he went to find a way out. (The only thing in the cell is that wooden box. Hmm… I wonder.)

I decided to go for it and rammed into the box, shattering it into pieces.

What were you thinking, Link mind-yelled at me.

Trying to find a way out, I replied as I crawled under the bars to get out. He followed, but as he was shaking off, the imp landed on his back. He tried to bite and shake her off of him.

"Hmph! I guess you're not completely stupid after all! Listen, I like you two, so I think I'll get you out of here."

She grabbed Link's ear and stated, "But in exchange for my help, you have to do EXACTLY as I say! So, are we all clear? Good. Now, come on! Get moving," she shouted kicking his sides as if he was a horse.

It looked as if Link was going to protest, so I told him, let's just get out of here. You can get payback later.

She's riding me like a horse, he protested.

I don't know how I did it, but I gave him a look that said shut up and let's go.

We made our way into another cell, in which a large red hand coming from the imp grabbed the ring to open a small gate. We made our way down into what seemed to be a sewer system. In front of us was a glowing green flame in mid-air. Link tried to stay away from it, but the imp kept pushing him to get closer.

"Oh. . . Well, well. . . Eee hee hee! Want to see something interesting? You're beasts! You should know how to use your senses. . ."

We shrugged at each other and tried to figure out what it is. (Use my senses? I'll give it a try.) I slowly began to let them fill me up and take place in my mind. It took a while, but slowly the form a soldier began to form. Link and I looked at each other, and it seemed we could both see him.

"Huff. . . Huff. . . Can't. . . run. . . any. . . farther. . . That's. . . far enough. . . right? I'll be safe here. . . I think. . . What was that noise?! Don't. . . Don't anything come near me," he said as he began to get agitated.

"That was a soldier's spirit. Maybe it's someone from the other world? Eee hee! There are lots of other spirits roaming about here, you know. They might know things. . ."

Let's get out of here, I thought. Link nodded at me and began to take off down the tunnels. We began to get the hang of jumping from path to path.

"I doubt you're used to your new body yet, so I'll just tell you. . . Think about how you fought enemies in your human form. . . Just because your shape has changed doesn't mean your instincts have as well!"

She directed us to a chain which Link grabbed on to let water into the tunnels, so that we could make our way over the spikes. As we swam over to another path, I saw something dark lurking in the water. I froze trying to figure out where it went.

What's wrong, Link asked looking back to see why I stopped. I couldn't find it anymore, so I simply shook my head. We made our way further down, until I felt something like a hand grab me and pull me under the water. Link managed to see me as my head sunk below the water line. If I thought the tunnels were dark, they were nothing compared to the water. I kept fighting the creature that had ahold on me until I managed to feel its grasp loosen enough to get away. I barreled out of the water with Link right beside me. We didn't stop until we made it to the other chain to lower the water level.

I stood there shaking from fright as Link tried to calm me down.

Are you sure you are okay?

Just. . . Just give me a minute, I replied as the imp simply floated there yawning as if we were keeping her. We finally continued on the paths until we came to a large gate.

The imp materialized through the bars and yelled, "This way! Over here! I'll be waiting for you, but you'll have to help yourself for a change!"

As I was still recovering from the water experience, Link used his senses to find a tunnel that we managed to crawl through. We finally came out on the other side and made our way out of the tunnels.

"Eee hee! Awww, did the detour tire you out, little wolves. It looks like most of the spirits are soldiers. Where in the world could we be," she said as she got back on Link. "You want to get out of here, right? OK! We're off!"

I will try to get another chapter out before Friday. If you guys could, take part in naming some of the characters that I am developing. I have extended it another month since I haven't gotten many responses. Thank you!
