((A/N: I wrote another chapter... I don't like the way this story is turning out. Maybe int he next few chapters I should add in some death and torture, eh? R&R this crappy chapter.))

In order to find out where these jewels were, he'd have to find this old man. And in order to find this old man, he needed to speak with his granddaughter, Tayka. So, Link figured it was going to be hard to get through to a psychological defective person, but he had to try, nevertheless. It was either this, or the world as he knew it was going to succumb to the dark bowels of Hell.

"Now, be careful. She may be a bit jumpy," a nurse told Link, as he walked into Tayka's room. It was bland and colorless, and even the light felt like it held nothing special to it.

Link slowly walked to the pink-haired woman, and said, "Tayka…?

The girl turned around, dark rings under her eyes. She jumped up immediately and ran to the corner. "No… you… you're here to take Bril away from me!"

Link's eyebrow rose. Bril was dead. Where did she had a Bril? Then Link noticed the little doll, that disturbingly resembled Bril. "Tayka… I'm not here to take Bril away from you…"

"You're going to kill us all! Bril… Likant… Tynrian… all of them. Well you won't! Not as long as I have Bril!" Tayka screamed. The nurse frowned and told Link that she always did this to visitors. "Stop it!" Tayka screamed.

Link said, calmly, "Tayka… I won't so anything. I promise. If you keep a hold of Bril, will you talk to me?" Tayka grimaced at Link, but nodded and sat down on the bed, cradling the doll. Link asked, "I only have one question. Can you tell me where your grandfather lives?"

"I have no grandfather… Only Bril and I live… Everyone else, including you, are shadow beings, spreading your darkness everywhere around Hyrule," Tayka said, combing its hair.

Link blinked. "Wait… what?"

"They tell me… I know what you're doing. But as long as I have Bril, no one will spread their darkness unto me," Tayka replied.

"Tayka, can you tell me what you're talking about?" Link asked.

Tayka narrowed her eyes at Link, "You said only one question! You know what happens to liars right?" Link stood up, worried. The white of the room blackened darker than anything. The lights all burnt out and a dark formation appeared behind her. Tayka and the being talked at the same time, "You get a spanking! Just like all the other bad kids."

But then something else happened that was even weirder. The shadow disappeared, and Tayka went back to cradling her doll, ignoring Link. But out of the corner, a hand came out, and soon an arm, and a body. A person came from the corner of the room, and crawled on the wall. "Tayka…"

"Don't talk to me," she said immediately. It felt like only Link could see this darkness. The nurse did nothing, and Tayka was only cradling her godforsaken doll.

Then the doll blinked, and Tayka screamed, throwing it against the wall. Link was now confused about the situation. Tayka was screaming and freaking out as this woman crawled on the ceiling. Link looked harder and harder and noticed why that woman looked so familiar.

It was Ilia. Had something happened back at Ordon? Why was she here as this shadow being? The Bril doll pointed up at Ilia, and Tayka looked up. Ilia, or whatever it was, screeched, and stretched her head down and took a chunk clean off her chest, and Tayka sat there, blood flowing all over the room. The nurse, alarmed, ran over. She still didn't see anything, but she was trying her hardest to comfort Tayka, but it didn't work.

Link glanced back at Ilia, who was looking at him. "Do you think I'm pretty, Link? Now? I took the heart of a real beauty…" she said, as she floated down to the floor. Her face soon began to age, as she walked to Link and caressed his face. "Please, Link, I love you."

"Get away from me!" Link shouted to her, and pushed her away. Ilia melted away into the darkness, and it went back into the corner from whence it came.

Tayka was still standing, and convulsing. The shadow of Ilia must have really damaged her. Tayka's eye sockets were bleeding, and the rest of her body was turning purple. It looked like maybe her veins were popping on the inside. Then, another familiar being came.

A single claw broke through Tayka's already bleeding chest, and another one pierced it and stabbed the nurse. The nurse was shouting and crying and doing all she could to get away from this monster. A head emerged, and Link saw the familiar red eye. This time, though, it wasn't a dream. Link unsheathed his sword and before it could do any more damage, he struck the monster, piercing the eye.

He pulled the sword out, and the monster stopped moving. The nurse did as well. The room became white as it was before. Was sanity achieved?

Soon, a full medical staff emerged, and took away the dead bodies, including the monster. Some biologists took the body to try and find out what it was. Finally, there was one last old man. He came to Link and said, "Did you do this to my Tayka?" It must have been her grandfather.

"No… I wanted to try and save her, but… I couldn't… All I wanted to know was where her grandfather lived," Link said, to trigger the old man's attention, which it did.

He said, "I am he. Who are you?"

"I am Link," Link told him, and the old man knew exactly who he was. "I need to know something… Do you know the location of the four royal jewels?"

He pondered a moment. He seemed too deep in though to disturb, so Link waited and waited until he finally said, "There are four temples which house the Weapons of the Royal Knights. Those weapons have the jewel embedded in them. These temples, however, have tasks that only the Royal Knights can truly overcome. But, if you have need for them, and if they are to save us, then I will tell you where the four temples are.

They are set in each of the cardinal directions. In the North, there is the Temple of the Icicle Princess, set deep under water of the Zora's Domain. In the East, there is the Temple of Sand Dunes, covered completely by the sand and invisible from mere humans. In the West, there is the Volcanic Temple, which is set underneath the molten volcano of Death Mountain. And finally, in the South, there is the Woodling Temple, lost forever in the abyss of the Sacred Forest. If you are the Chosen Hero, then you will be able to find these temples… and find the royal jewels. From then on, you'll know what to do."

He left Link without saying any more. Link wondered which one to deal with first. Seeing as how he was a bit worried about Ilia's health, he decided to go toward the Woodling Temple.
