Kaia P.O.V.

"ugh..", that's the first thing I hear coming from Vaati as soon as he wakes up. He doesn't sound really good. "Vaati, are you okay?" I asked. He looked up at me from under the bed. He really didn't look well. "I don't feel good", he said in a raspy voice. He was fine yesterday. He was really tired yesterday as well; I think it has to do with tension from Luella yesterday. Yeah, it is possible for tension to make you unwell. "Vaati, I think you should take a day off school today", I suggested. He groans in detest. "Aw, but I want to see the pretty gi-", I cut him off. "Your staying at home." He just groans again but doesn't make a move to get up. Good.

I get to school 30 minutes later. I wonder if Vaati will be all right when I get back home?


Vaati P.O.V.

Ugh. This is awful. I can't flirt with the girlie's, but what's worse is that it's so boring staying in bed all day. I try to go to sleep and eventually, 9 minutes after I do.

I'm in complete darkness. It's like I'm the four sword again. I hear voices around me as well. They sound very familiar but I just can't put my finger on it. Then the darkness fades away and I see myself staring at a younger version of me; No, this is the Minish version of myself. He-I was crying. Then I see Ezlo walking up to my younger self. "What's wrong boy?" he asks my young self. "M-My parents l-left me by myself a-and n-never came b-back", little me sobbed. Ezlo had sympathy in his eyes. "How about you come with me? I can take you on as my apprentice." My younger self looked up and smiled. "Really? Thank you so much."

The scenery changed and now I saw an older version of my Minish self holding the wishing cap. "! Vaati what are you doing!?" Ezlo asked frantically. But my Minish self didn't answer and put on the wishing cap. My Minish self then turned into a hylain and turned Ezlo to a hat. Seeing that happen again was rather amusing. "W-What happened!?" Ezlo asked, shocked. My past self chuckled. "Even the great sage Ezlo... can't do anything with a hat for a body!" my past self exclaimed. "What have you done Vaati?!" Ezlo shouted. My past self smirked. "With this cap, I'm no longer an apprentice... I'm a mage! I have more power than anyone in the world!" Well, that's what I thought at the time, but apparently not. "But why?What are you after Vaati?!" Ezlo asked. "The light force!I will find the door that opens only once every century, and inside... I'll find the light force! Then I'll be omnipotent! Goodbye master", and with that my past self teleported away.

My scenery changed once again. This was when I escaped the four sword for the second time. I was in the room that the dark mirror was in. I then saw Shadow Link enter the room. He looked exhausted. I wonder why? He then grabbed a nearby chair and lifted it above his head. Oh no. I know what he's going to do. I was going to run to him, but he had already thrown the chair at the mirror. I swear I could feel the pain all over again.

My other self, now in my demonic form had appeared. Shadow smashed up the rest of the mirror and I shouted along with my past self. "NOOOOOOO!" But, it was too late. I close my eyes, trying to block out the haunting nightmare. But as soon as I open my eyes, I find I'm in another scenery. It was what looked like an alley. I saw myself talking to someone. And that someone was none other than Kaia. I now realise that before I met Kaia, my life was awful; One failure after another, betrayal, agony, hatred. But now...

I feel myself smile. I have a friend. The one thing I've needed all this time...


I stirred a little before opening my eyes. I find myself in Kaia's bedroom again. I sigh with relief. I hate dreams that have memories in it. Especially the bad memories. I see Mum's phone on the desk and I see it's now 14: 59. Wow, I've been asleep for a long time. I decide to get up but I find that I've gone quite stiff. With a bit of difficulty, I manage to get up. I walk in the living room to find what I think is a 'Wii remote'. Kaia taught me how to play on one whenever I was bored. So I decide to play on it.


Kaia P.O.V.

I had never realised how boring school is without Vaati there. Oh well. I get back home and what I saw was unexpected. Vaati was playing 'Super smash bros brawl*', laughing like a maniac."Ha ha! Die Link! Die!", was all that could be heard from him. Apparently he was playing as Pit and he was fighting against Link. Obviously. Except Vaati was actually winning. I sweat drop. "Hi Vaati, how are you feeling?" I asked as I took my shoes off. He looked at me when he pause the game. "I'm fine now actually", Vaati answered. I nodded. "So what have you been doing?"
"Well, most of the time I was dreaming about my past, then I just started playing this", Vaati answered. I just nodded again. "Hey, you want to take a walk?" I ask. He just nodded. He stood up and stretched. "I might as well. A good fresh air will do me well", he said, so we went to the park that was right around the corner.

"Ah, such a good breeze", I hear Vaati say as we sat down on a bench. "Yeah, I guess", I agreed. Just then, a cat came near us. I hate cats. They always seem miserable and look as if they want to kill you. They're always glaring at me, so it's clearly apparent that cat's hate me just as much. I hear Vaati growl next to me. Vaati growls? Well that's not something you see everyday. "I hate cats...", Vaati hissed as the cat glared at us. "I have to resist the temptation of standing on it", Vaati said. "Payback for what they did to me when I was a Minish." That is understandable I guess. Then the cat hissed at him and Vaati lost control of himself. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU DRAT CAT!" Vaati shouted as he chased the cat all around the park. I however, just stayed sat down on the bench, not wanting to get involved. "Vaati, you're scaring the children", I told him when he got into hearing range. "I DO NOT CARE!" I sigh. I only came out here to enjoy the breeze, not for Vaati to go on a cat-killing rampage. Oh well.


We came back 5 minutes after with Vaati covered in scratches. He got what was coming to him I suppose. Well, now I know not to let Vaati outside where there are cats about. That is actually going to be very difficult. There are cats everywhere on my street.


Lol, Vaati really hates cats doesn't he? Anyway, the Shadow Link betrayal thing is actually only mentioned in the 'Four swords' manga. If you've not read it, I suggest that you do, it's a really good manga.

*Super smash bros brawl is a Nintendo game where a whole bunch of Nintendo characters fight against each other. Snake and Sonic are in there as well.
