A/N) Yay another chapter. Done. Thanks to my boyfriend for bouncing ideas with me I feel so excited by the rest of my story I can hardly stop my fingers from typing. I do hope you all love this chapter. Oh and tell me if you catch the creepy pasta reference. I made it kind of obvious, but honestly I couldn't go this whole story without making at least one reference, right?

"Aww shit! I'm sorry to interrupt guys! I take it he said yes?" Knil said walking over to the table in their room. "The Goddesses need to speak with us, but I left when I heard Nolan screaming," He picked up the stone that was lying there "He was worried about where he left this stone."

"We can come with, to check on him." Link said straightening out his tunic.

Sheik was flushed in the face, and nodded in agreement. They walked into what was Anji's room. The little girl was patting Nolan's back and holding his hand.

"It's alright." She cooed to him.

"Here." Knil handed him the stone back, and covered his eyes as a white light surrounded the boy. Immediately his hair turned red, and his eyes golden, even his nose got a slight hook in it.

Anji had a quizzical look on her face "That stone…there is something special about it."

"Well of course there is Anji," Knil said to her "It's magical and allows him to look Gerudo."
The girl shook her head "No, something more than that." she puzzled over it, but eventually gave up. "Are you okay now, Nol?"

The boy nodded "Yeah. I'm sorry I woke you up, Anj."

"It's not a big deal Nol." She laid back in bed, and Nolan followed suit. Immediately, their arms and hands intertwined together. Once again, they were inseparable.

As the boys walked out Knil was smiling "That really is cute! Anyway, the Goddesses are waiting."

They walked into Kiehs and Knil's room. They found Kiehs bent over the mirror nodding, and talking to a hysterical Goddess, Nayru.

"What's wrong?" Link asked peering into the mirror.

"Hero! I am glad I caught you awake!" Nayru looked very upset "I had a horrible vision! The Gorons they were being attacked, and there was destruction everywhere. I can't lose another race of people, Hero!"

Din appeared behind her sister, and wrapped her arm around her, comforting the saddened, hysterical, Goddess. Farore appeared

"Boys we have been trying to avoid this for quite a long time, but I guess it has to be done. I need you four to travel to the four corners of Termina to collect the Sacred Stones. Nayru wouldn't be having visions like this if the situation wasn't dire. I don't know what it is exactly, and you will have to report back occasionally, but first you must visit the four giants. They have each been entrusted with a stone. Do not think it will be easy heroes. I know the great deeds you have already done Link, but the giants must test your strength in different ways. This will push you out of your comfort zones, and make you do things you never thought was ever possible."

They all nodded. After a good night sleep they would head out at first light for Snowhead. They were no good tired, and Nayru could be having an early vision of things to come.

They disbanded again for the night.

Kiehs leaned over the bed, and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.

"Hey, I love you." he said nudging Knil affectionately.

"I love you too. You know I am mad." Knil replied.

Kiehs smiled "Honey, you are always mad. If it wasn't for you, Link would be mad. You know how it goes."

"Thanks to you, Mr. Know-it-all, I do."

"I am not a know it all I just know it all. I did a lot of studying while you were gone. I am a plethora of knowledge."

"Well what do you know about these Sacred Stones?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"That brings me no comfort. Let's get to bed then. We have a world to save now!"

"I wouldn't want to save the world with anyone else."

Knil wrapped his arms around Kiehs, and pulled him close.

"Good. You have no choice but to come with me. I love you"


Link and Sheik were getting dressed for bed, now.

"That sounded oddly familiar. Like a sense of déjà vu." Link said. He looked like he was trying to remember something.

"What was?" Sheik asked his lover.

"Collect 4 sacred stones. I feel like somewhere I have heard something like that before. For the life of me I can't remember!"

"Well to me, it was a mood killer." Sheik said. The normally stoic Sheikah was actually a bit pouty.

"I don't know about mood killer. I could still go, but I know Mr. super serious is going to want to sleep, and get up before dawn even breaks."

"Link, Goddesses, be glad I love you."

Link gave him a goofy grin "Hey guess what."

"What?"

"We are totally engaged! You agreed to marry me. Now, you are my fiancé." Link was giggling in excitement now.

Sheik shook his head at his silly boyfriend "Of course I agreed. Link, I may not say it a lot, but I really do love you. I have loved you for such a long time. Even when you were no longer around, and I was a lie to you, my heart still pined for you. You're my soul mate. I am incomplete without you near me."

Link softened at his words. "Sheik…"

It was unusual, to say the least, that Sheik would open up like this. It made Link so unbelievably happy to hear those words escape from his lovers mouth. It made him feel incredibly happy. Link walked over and wrapped his arms around Sheik's waist, pulling him in close.

"I feel the same about you. Come on lets go to sleep."

Sheik snuggled his face into his hero's chest

"I have a better way to fall asleep." he said.

"What's that?"

Sheik leaned up and kissed Link with heated passion. When they broke apart to breathe, Link looked into deep red eyes
"Alright, let's make it quick." And they had a race over who could get undressed the fastest.


"I fucking hate the morning!" Knil yawned loudly.

Kiehs, and his internal clock, were up approximately one hour before sunrise.

"I know, love. As messengers of the Goddesses, it is our job to do this. Plus, we are the shadows of heroes, its in our blood, kind of."

"Does that mean I have to get up at this damn hour though?"

"We have a lot of ground to cover." Kiehs said while packing their bag full of all the new warm clothes they had, "Honey, we need to talk about all the black and grey we have."

"What? It looks good on us with our pale skin and stuff." He walked over, and wrapped his arms around his brunette boyfriend, "Then again, you look a lot better with nothing on."

"Not a chance Knil! Get dressed!"

"You are no fun!"


In the other room the two boys were debating getting up.

"How much longer till the sun comes out?" Link asked.

"Stop talking so loud!" Sheik was cranky when he had to wake up really early, especially without much sleep. It was his fault obviously, but it didn't make it any better. "Probably about an hour or so."

"Shouldn't Sheikah be up and alert, even in their sleep?"

"They are when they aren't on vacation. Goddesses, I was hoping to actually sleep!"

After awhile the two decided to roll out of bed, and start packing up. Sheik was putting something in a pack when his ring got snagged,

"Oh, this is going to take some getting used to." He looked down at his ring smiling fondly. He really did love it.

"Sorry." Link said.

"No, its fine. I love it."

"Good, because I love you in it."

"You are something else, Hero."


They were all greeted downstairs by Kafei.

"Good Morning guys." He said with a smile.

"No such thing." Knil and Sheik said in unison.

"Don't worry about a thing. I have Nolan for as long as you need okay?

They all nodded, and thanked Kafei for his help. They told him they owed him, but he said the price was to save the world.

They trudged along to the stable. The only noise coming from them where loud yawns. They decided to ride their horses to the Goron Village as far as possible. Honestly, Link was confused as to how they would get to all the locations he had previously visited. Most of the time they didn't know it was Link, and he had no more masks left. The Goddesses would give them a way, he was pretty sure about that. Cruel as their plans seemed at times, it was only completely necessary. (Like if he and Sheik would have fell in love during the first journey, he may have never turned time back.)

They grabbed Epona and Anope and led them outside. Only to be stopped be a guard.

"Its dangerous to leave at night." he said holding a hand up.

Knil started to snicker. Link shook his head

"Trust me we are a heavily armed group of skilled warriors, we know the dangers, and are prepared to deal with the consequences."

"I don't know you all look pretty young to be going out there. Especially these two." The guard pointed to Sheik and Kiehs who both blushed into equal shades of red.

"I assure you these two are probably more skilled, and dangerous then us." Link said to the guard.

The guard seemed to contemplate it before answering with,

"If you are completely sure. It's your funeral."

The pulled on their horses reigns to get them outside.

"Alright you see that snowy area over there? Which my question is why is it frozen over again? But I digress," Link said to the group while pointing to it. "That is the Snowhead area. That is where the Gorons, a great fairy, and the Giant live. I think I still remember the Goron Lullaby so we can save them for later. Does everyone here have an instrument?"

Knil pulled out and ocarina, Kiehs pulled out a silver lyre, and Sheik pulled out a gold lyre.

"Fantastic. Look at this I get to teach people songs for once! That's exciting. Ok, there is a giant Goron guarding the entrance to the Snowhead Temple, because it is snowy over there. In order to gain access we need to put him to sleep. I will teach you the Goron Lullaby."

Link pulled out his ocarina and played the Goron Lullaby for them. After a few tries they had a beautiful woodwind and string quartet playing the song.

"I feel a little tired." Kiehs said grabbing his head and swaying.

"The song sounds a little sad, and maybe full of regret to me." Sheik said putting up his lyre. "All the songs I have learned so far have sounded like that."

"You should see and hear the Elegy of Emptiness."

"You mentioned that to Tatl. I am curious about that one myself." Knil said

"Alright one time. Just because it creeps me out!" Link put his Ocarina to his mouth and played the Elegy of Emptiness. Immediately a bright light glowed and he stepped out of the way. Leaving a statue, that was supposed to look like him, in his previous place.

"Oh that's horrifying." Knil said poking at the statue.

"It doesn't look like you at all, Link." Sheik said looking a bit wary at the statue staring at him.

"Yeah, he looks like a Ben to me." Kiehs said.

The three others stared at Kiehs who just shrugged.

"Alright, I think our horses might be able to get us to the Mountain village so let's go." Link said climbing onto Epona, and offering a hand to Sheik.

They rode together talking about this and that. They stopped as soon as the reached the snowy path.

"No, no! This is cold! I hate it!" Kiehs was shaking his head rapidly

"Calm down! We got all these warm clothes for you, and you can use the cowl to cover your face." Knil said.

They dressed into multiple layers. Sheik snickered at seeing Link's boots,

"Fuzzy boots? Really?"

Link shrugged it off "Don't knock them. They are super warm. Trust me, without them, I feel like my toes might fall off."

Sheik held up his foot,

"These are heat, cold, and water proof."

"Yeah, yeah. I have to have multiple different types of everything. Part of being a hero, accessorizing."

The two of them prepared to jump on Epona.

"Wait!" Kiehs said as he was fully dressed from head to toe. Link had to do a double take, with his hair tied into his cowl and his face covered, he looked identical to Sheik. Right down to the color of his eyes. "I want to see your rings."

Link and Sheik each held out there left hands.

"You are wearing each others eye color. That is adorable. When are you going to ask me to marry you, Knil?" He nudged his boyfriend playfully.

Knil blushed "Thanks for setting the standard there, Hero."

Everyone had a long laugh, before they started back onto their journey. Everyone was bundled up nice and warm. Though Kiehs seemed to be bundled more than everyone else.


After sending the horses back, and a lot of ramps and complaining, they finally made it to the mouth of the temple. Well, as close as they could get with the constant stream of ice being blown in their direction.

Both Kiehs and Sheik narrowed their eyes as they looked in the direction of the ice.

"Why is there a giant Goron blowing ice in our direction?" they asked in unison.

Knil narrowed his eyes
"What? I don't see anything? Are you two feeling okay?"

"They are fine. I had to get the eye of truth to be able to see him my last time here, but now I have Sheik. This is why I taught you guys the Goron Lullaby. If we play it, he will curl up and fall asleep."

"Oh." The remaining three said in unison.
