Hey y'all!

I decided to end the vote a bit early, so the lucky winner is...

VAATI!!

He will be in this fanfic for sure. Thanks to the few that reviewed and voted! I'm terribly sorry for the delay for this chapter; my computer decided to not connect to the Internet for almost 2 weeks, so I had lot of time to write this chapter and I should be able to post another chapter of, "Hear the Wind Blow" soon also. Until then, here's Chapter 10 of There are no words for this.

It turned out Irine was a pretty fast horse; she could run almost as fast as Epona could. However, as we approached Ordon Village, my butt was killing me from riding Irine all day. We couldn't stop and rest; monsters would attack us as soon as we slowed to a walk. Plus, I was riding her bareback because Renado didn't have an extra saddle for me to borrow. As I slid off, my legs ached and protested when I staggered over to Link. He frowned down at me. "Have you never ridden a horse before?"

I shook my head. Unless you count the time I got to ride ponies in Pre-K, but that was a good ten years ago. Link chuckled when I waddled over to him. "Well, just sit over there until I go see Mayor Bo and get something to help me with the Gorons."

I grimaced as I eased slowly by Irine, trying to take some deep yoga breaths to distract me. Uli suddenly came up and her eyes were puffy and red from crying. "Cassie, have you seen Colin since he was kidnapped?" she asked, a hopeful twinkle in her pale blue eyes.

"Yes, he and the other children are safe in Kakariko." I replied.

Pure relief washed over her face. "Colin is... alive?! Thank the Goddesses above! What about Ilia?" she exclaimed.

"I didn't see her there." I said uncomfortably. Uli's face fell a little bit, but she still retained the joy of the news of her son's safety.

"I'm sure she'll hang in there." She muttered, mostly to herself. "I'll go tell the others, since you look like you got a bit of a saddle sore there. I have a remedy for that if you want to come with me." She added.

"That would be wonderful." I said gratefully. I got up slowly, and ignoring the jabs of pain in my legs, followed Uli into her house and watched as she pulled out a bottle of bright green potion.

"Here," she said while she handed me two bottles of the stuff, "drink this twice a day, and the pain will go away. Also, it's supposed to help your muscles get used to the strain of riding a horse all the day long. I have a feeling that will be the case from now on." She winked at me. "Thank you again for telling me about Colin, he can be such a timid boy sometimes and I do wish he could be strong like his father."

I thanked her again for the medicine, and walked out the door. I took out one of the bottles, and drank half of the green liquid. It actually wasn't so bad; it reminded me of spearmint gum. As soon as I gulped it down, the aching in my legs disappeared. I sighed in relief, and jogged over to the Mayor's house. Loud grunting sounded from inside and I pushed the door open slowly. The first thing I saw was Mayor Bo, wearing what looked like a giant thong that did NOT look good on him ,slapping Link, who was also shirtless. " HOLY MOTHER OF DIN!! MY EYES!!" I shrieked. Link turned his gaze to me, and Bo took the opportunity to push him off the little arena. Bo faced me, and his eyes were stern.

"Miss, Sumo is not a women's sport and I have to ask you to step out, please."

For once, I didn't argue with him there. "Uh yeah, I'll be outside if anyone needs me..." I felt my face flame crimson with embarrassment, and I turned on my heel to go back out the door before I would embarrass myself further, or Link would come after me. Irine started when I came through, and I realized I should probably go to the ranch to get her a saddle. After hoisting myself up on her back, and directing her to the local ranch where there should be at least one extra saddle, I called out to Fado. He was sprawled on the ground, looking almost dreamily up at the clouds. He darted up when he saw me, and beamed.

"Um, I'm Cassie and I need a saddle for my horse here. Do you have any extras here that I can borrow?"

Fado grinned up at me. "Ihave one, and for you I'll let you have it for free."

I nodded and smiled. "That would be great."

He led me into the barn of goats where there was a nice, dark brown saddle on a nearby wood post. It looked almost new and expensive. "There's the one." He pointed to it. "Do you need help putting it on your mare?" he asked.

"Her name is Irine, and I do need help; I don't know how to do it." I replied.

Fado then proceeded to tell me the umpteen different ways to put on the saddle correctly and I nearly fell asleep. He sure was a chatterbox. After a while, he finally shut up and put the saddle on Irine and I was ready to go. "Don't forget that if y'all need help with it, you can come back and I'll fix it for you." Fado called as I rode out and away back towards Bo's house.

I trotted up to Link just as he came out of there. "You ready to go?" I asked.

"Uh, sure, but it's getting dark. We should stay the night here." He said. I glanced up at the sky, and saw that it was almost Twilight. While leading Epona to a house that I assumed to be his, Link motioned for me to climb up the ladder inside.

"Whoa," I said as I came in , "This has got to be the coolest tree house I have ever seen."

"Cool? As in cold?" Link questioned.

"Never mind."

"Well, you take the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor" He said.

"No, this is your house; I'll sleep on the floor and you sleep on the bed." I retorted.

He sighed in exasperation. "I'm too tired to argue with you right now, so I'll just sleep here." He lay down by the fire and shut his eyes.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine then." I plopped on the floor across the room, and using my arm as a pillow, I fell fast asleep. Strange dreams plagued me that night. Red eyes seemed to be staring at me wherever I turned, and sinister laughs echoed in my head. I gasped as an arm grabbed me from behind, and dragged me into oblivion.

Link shook me awake. "Cassie, Cassie it's time to wake up. We have to go."

" AHH! Wh- what?!?" I shouted groggily.

"You slept all day. It's almost noon." Link replied. "I have been trying to shake you awake since 8:00 this morning!"

I rubbed my eyes. "Well, I was tired." I said. Unfortunatly, sometimes I was a heavy sleeper. One time, my foster mother tried to plug my nose to wake me up but I didn't even stir. She said it was the weirdest thing ever. My heart throbbed dully with sudden homesickness. Just don't think of her.

"We need to go now. Bo said he needed to give me something today."

"I'll meet you at Bo's house, I need to get Irine." I replied.

He left, and I got Irine out of the pen by Link's house and tightened the saddle on her belly. Hoisting myself up, I trotted over to Mayor Bo's house and waited by Epona. Link came out of the hut with a heavy looking pair of iron boots. Midna promptly zapped them somewhere. " Now that you have both taken care of all that you need to do here, we should head back to Death Mountain." She said, and dove into my shadow. I rolled my eyes and waited for Link to mount Epona. We both galloped away we approached Kakariko, I noticed a slight change in the air; it felt almost evil.

Link suddenly spurred Epona, and she shot forward. Irine sprinted after her. Kakariko came into view, and a giant green boar man (the one that kidnapped me here apparently) was triumphantly holding an unconscious Colin up. When he saw Link, he took off to Eldin Bridge, the legendary hero of old right behind him. I galloped after him, mentally cursing all giant boars and monster bandits worldwide. When I came into Hyrule Field, Link seemed to be struggling with the extra monsters the Bulbin king called over. I then realized that I could probably do nothing to help him here, but cheer him on. A loud grunt could be heard from the massively obese Bulbin as Link slashed him repeatedly with his sword until he suddenly went over Eldin Bridge. Link followed right behind him, and a barrier behind him closed, locked him and the Bulbin King in a joust for Colin.

Sorry if it's a bit short; I have been really busy lately and I don't have much time to even get on the computer to type. Anywho, I hope that you like this chapter and ( for heaven's sake) READ AND REVIEW!!!!
