Illia had gotten out of bed and got ready for the day with some excitement. The previous day. Kedem had invited her to go hunting with him in Faron Woods and she quickly accepted.

"I'll be back later Father," said Illia as she went out the door.

"Just be careful Illia," said Bo who was told of today's plans.

Illia then walked through the village being more excited than earlier. Not only would this be her first time hunting but Kedem promised her that he would teach her how to use a bow which she had been interested in ever since she learned that Link could use one.

"Hey Illia," said Kedem once Illia arrived at his house, "Ready for some hunting?"

"Of course," answered Illia," And I'm really excited for it."

After Kedem packed some things needed for the hunt,including two bows, he and Illia went into Faron Woods. While traveling through the bushes, Kedem spotted a deer and told Illia that she can try to shoot it.

"Okay Illia," said Kedem who was instructing Illia how to use a bow, "Just put the arrow by the bow with the end touching the string, pull the string back, aim and then release."

Illia followed the instructions and when she shot the arrow, it hit the deer on the neck and killed it.

"Not bad for your first shot Illia," complemented Kedem.

"Thanks," thanked Illia.

For the next few hours, Illia and Kedem hunted a number of animals. When the sky changed colour, they knew it was time to leave.

"What the," said Kedem who paused for a minute.

"What's wrong," asked Illia.

"I felt a drop of water hit me," answered Kedem.

It was then, it started to rain heavily with the clouds pitch black which meant it was a storm.

"We better get back to Ordon quick," said Illia and she and Kedem started running as fast as they could back to the village.

At one point, a lightning bolt struck a tree which was knocked down and fell on Illia making her stuck.

"Illia," said Kedem who became worried.

"I'm fine, just get help," said Illia who had the tree crushing her back.

Just when Kedem was about to get help, another lightning bolt struck the ground nearby and a fire started.

"I'll have to save you myself," said Kedem who then started to try to lift the tree.

"It's no use Kedem," said Illia, "Just forget about me."

"No I won't," said Kedem in protest.

A minute later, Kedem managed to lift the tree and freed Illia just before the fire reached them. The pair then went back to Ordon Village where they had lost the fire.

"I think it would be best if we both spent the night in my house," suggested Kedem.

"Alright," said Illia and they both went in Kedem's house.

Later, Kedem prepared some pumpkin soup for the both of them and gave a bowl to Illia.

"That was very brave of you Kedem," said Illia, "Thanks for saving me."

"You're welcome," replied Kedem.

"But why did you risk your life doing something that seemed impossible," asked Illia, "That tree must have been very heavy."

"It was," explained Kedem, "But despite that fact, I just couldn't let you be in danger."

"Why's that," asked Illia.

"It's because I care about you," explained Kedem, "During the last three weeks, the villagers have all been kind to me." "And none of them have been as kind as you."

"Oh," said Illia who blushed.

"Also," said Kedem, "When I met you at that ball, I believed you deserved tons of happiness and I felt like I should help you get it." "I also had lots of fun with you and I haven't been this happy since my mother was alive.

"Kedem," asked Illia, "Are you saying that you've fallen in love with me?"

"I am," answered Kedem.

"Well to be honest," explained Illia, "I've fallen in love with you."

"Really," asked Kedem.

"Yes," said Illia, "First you cheer me up when Link broke my heart, then you become a big help to the village, next you give me so much fun, and now you've saved my life." "How could I not love you?"

"Illia," said Kedem with a smile on his face.

It was then Illia went to Kedem and kissed him on the lips which they both enjoyed.

"Thanks for everything," thanked Illia once the kiss broke.

"You're welcome," said Kedem.

After that, Illia and Kedem finished their soup, changed clothes and got ready for bed. Once they fell asleep, they couldn't stop dreaming about the other.
