Me: Yay! New chapter! Oi... this one and the next aren't going to be as good because they're dungeon chaps and I've never been very good at those. Especially when I had to design the dungeon all on my own!
Din: Yup. She's designing a dungeon all on her own.
Nayru: By herself. With no help from anybody else.
Farore: ...Well a few random suggestions from random friends and family members...
Me: And this will only be the first... I've got many more original dungeons coming. What'd you expect? Just about everywhere in this story is new! We're not within the limits of the Great Sea anymore! It is also in this chapter where you will really gain some respect for Dimitra and gain an understanding of her background. Well, that's all I've got for now.
Oh! Wait! Reviewers! Didn't there used to be more of you? Oh, well. I like the ones I've got and that's good enough for me. Yes, yes, Kearra, we get it. You like him... perhaps I should pull a Kage and tell everyone that y-!
Darunia: puts hand over Selphie's mouth Thinking no. You don't want to invoke the wrath or your best friend. You've seen what it does.
Me: Yah... you're probably right... she'll probably hurt me for just that anyways... Oh, well, moving along. Aliasfan: just for recap, the CCC is the Core Custody Chamber where Selphie and the others are imprisoned.
Tingle: I liked your happy little elf dance! copies it
Everyone: O.O
Din: Congratulations, Aliasfan... you've made a new friend.
Me: Anyway... Finally we have Bvv. Yay for Link and Tetra. Hehe. No fluff in this chapter. And yeah, there are a lot of cognates between Spanish and French. My sister thinks I'm crazy too, but we love each other for it.
Darunia: Disclaimer: She does not own anything Zelda-fied.
Tingle: The only characters in this fic that she owns are Selphie, Sakon, Dimitra, Mace, Curt, Rosari, Luis, Señora Elena, and la cochina.
Me: Anyway, read on wonderful readery reading reader peoples!

Chapter 10:
Selphie's eyes were closed. She was still sleeping a day after the incident. It had been a lot of trauma for the young teen, and sleep was almost welcomed because it took her away from that place, away from the event... away from him...
The girl groaned, slowly finally waking. She felt something cold on her legs. It was wet too. She realized her pants were down around her knees and thought that perhaps Sakon was at it again. Selphie pried her eyes open, praying that Sakon was not still near. To her surprise, it was Dimitra that she found leaning over her.
"D-Dimitra...?" she asked hoarsely, putting her hand to her forehead, which she realized also had something wet on it. It was a cloth. "W-wha...?" She also realized that Dimitra was gently wiping at the inside of her legs.
"Shhhh..." Dimitra hushed softly, glancing in the direction of the opposite corner of the room. Sakon was sitting on his bed, both watching Link and the others and working at their plot. Mace and Curt sat nearby and turned their heads slightly at the sound. "You don't want to wake Sakon from 'is spell and let 'im know you're awake... I managed to get Mace and Curt to keep look out, but you don't want to make it 'appen any sooner..." She continued wiping at Selphie's legs.
"You're very lucky..." Dimitra said softly.
"Am I?" Selphie whispered somewhat sarcastically.
"...Besides zat..." Dimitra answered. "Any longer and zare probably would 'ave been some permanent damage... I hope you don't mind I tore off part of your sleevez... it waz zee only cloth available besidez Mace's sarong... and quite frankly no one wanted 'im to take it off." She gave Selphie a small smile, but Selphie did not return it. She just remained silent and Dimitra returned to wiping.
When she was finished, Dimitra hid the cloths on the underside of the table and walked back over to Selphie, who was pulling up her pants again. The girl sat back down on the bed and looked at Dimitra. "...Why?"
"'Why' what?" Dimitra asked.
"Why did you stand up for me then? Why are you helping me now?" Selphie asked, folding her hands in her lap and lowering her head, turning it slightly to look at the Deku woman.
"..." No answer.
"...You said you didn't want to see the same thing happen to someone else..." Selphie said softly.
"..."
"...Did this happen to you too?"
"..." Dimitra looked away and sighed, looking back to Selphie again. "Yes," she said.
"Who did it?" Selphie asked.
"...The Deku King..." Dimitra said. She spoke no more and Selphie sat in thought for a moment.
"...I heard... about a Deku woman who accused the king of raping her... and then ordering the death of her and the bastard child..." Selphie said. Dimitra sat silently for a moment and turned her head away. "...She was his daughter... the Deku Princess..." Dimitra grimaced slightly and remained silent for a moment more. "...Your Highness...?" Selphie ventured.
Dimitra took a deep breath and turned back to Selphie, giving her a small smirk. "You're an Ikanan... you don't have to call anyone that but Igos."
"Then it's true," Selphie said.
"Oui..." Dimitra said. "I was the Deku Princess up until the night my father tried to kill me..."
"Your name used to be Fleur..." Selphie said.
"Again, until my fozzer (father) tried to kill me," Dimitra said. "'E wanted to make sure all evidence of zee incest was destroyed... 'e forgot zat I 'ad trained wiss zee witches Kotake and Koume." Selphie stared at her confusedly for a moment. "Zey did live in zee swamp, non?"
"Right..." Selphie nodded her head. "What happened exactly?"
Dimitra took a deep breath and frowned slightly. "Do you really want to know?" Selphie nodded her head. "Well... My fozzer, zee Deku King was..." Dimitra paused, trying to think of a way to phrase it. Selphie gave her a prompting look. "In constant need of companionship, shall we say," Dimitra finished the sentence.
"When my muzzer (mother) was killed by Jeimjine assassins, my fozzer was left wiss no one to... satisfy 'is needs." She frowned, "Wiss zee war going 'e couldn't very well court anyone and find a new spouse, and as a figure of such social standing as a king, he could not risk a scandal by buying 'is pleasures..."
Selphie frowned. "But wait, I remember something about a wedding?" she said. Dimitra smiled ruefully, absent-mindedly playing with the ring on her finger. This was the first Selphie noticed said ring.
"Yes... I did get married... to a wonderful Deku man," Dimitra said. "It was supposed to be zee happiest day of my life, but sanks to my fozzer it turned out to be zee worst... well... second worst..." She paused for a moment and grimaced. "It was zee night before zat he made 'is move.
"In short, he lured me to 'is chambers and invaded me," Dimitra went on. "I didn't say anysing at first becauze I was embarrassed, and even when I found out zat I was wiss child I didn't point any fingers. No one would ever 'ave 'ad to know zat zee child was 'is. Even my 'usband was willing to claim zee baby as 'is own... But my fozzer knew zee truth, and 'e did not believe zee secret could be kept.
"Zat aliboron was zee reason zee child existed in zee first place. 'E was lucky zat we were at war wiss Jeimjine or else I would exposed 'im at zee outset. But 'e decided zat 'e didn't want to risk it... and so, 'e 'ired assassins to kill 'is son, my 'usband, and myself." She paused taking a deep breath, almost seeming on the verge of tears. "Zey smozered my son wiss 'is own pillow. And zen zey tried to smozer us as well.
"My 'usband and I managed to wake up before zee assassins could do zeir work on us... but my child was dead, and I knew it was my fozzer's doing." Dimitra sneered, and a hatred filed her eyes. "'E won over zee public by calling 'is grandson's death a horrible tragedy and declaring a manhunt for zose responsible. It was zen zat I called 'im out for zee man-'ore 'e was.
"Zat aliboron! 'E 'ad a plan for defense just in case such a sing 'appened. 'E turned zee blame on me, saying zat I was a slut and had been sleeping around. My bastard son's death, 'e said, was my own doing, zat I was merely trying to cover my own tracks so zat no one, especially my own 'usband, would know of my prostitution.
"'E did not order any kind of punishment, but I got it... in spades..." she sneered. "'E may not 'ave dealt zee punishment 'imself, but 'e 'ad turned our people against us. When my 'usband stood by me, zey derided 'im and said 'e was an idiot for standing by such an 'ore. Zey said 'e should drop me, leave me, make me suffer for my adultery, make an example of me. 'E refused, and for doing so zey stoned 'im to death." There was a short intake of breath from Selphie and the girl stiffened slightly.
"When zey 'ad taken my 'usband I knew zey were no people of mine. Zese cochons were no better zan zee Jeimjine invaders. Zey were petty, ungrateful. My muzzer died for zem, and I would not be surprised if my fozzer 'ad somesing to do wiss zat too. Zey as good as killed my muzzer, my son, and stoned my 'usband right in front of me. I would not be associated wiss zem anymore.
"I shed my title of princess and the name they had bestowed upon me... Fleur... flower... Ha! A flower would never do what I was planning. Flowers are pure, innocent- for zee most part anyway- and I would not be considered a flower. No, I would need a new persona for my new role. A new name to suit my new dark vision: Dimitra.
"Zee Dekus were just like zose Jeimjine pigs, and so, I would deliver zem right to zee invading nation. It was quite fortunate zat I 'ad learned magic from zee witches, for I would not 'ave been able to spy on my fozzer and zee uzzer (other) leaders wissout it. I spied on zem, learned all of zeir strategies down to zee last soldier, and I presented it to Jeimjine in a pretty red ribbon. I 'ad even devised zee exact countermeasures zee Jeimjine armies should take in order to thwart zee plans of my fozzer and zee uzzers. It was perfect... until I found out one problem I 'ad overlooked before."
"What was that?" Selphie asked.
"Zee Jeimjine cochons were far too alike to zee very people I was trying to betray- pompous, egotistical. Zey would not use my plans- my perfect plans- for zee simple reason zat I had been zee one to devise zem. Wissout zat, zey failed miserably and all my spying was for naught, especially when some of zee prisoners of war decided to tell zem all about me. Zat was my downfall... if not for zat I would 'ave 'ad my revenge on zee cochons zat ruined my life. And so I was taken to Ikana for zee Elegy of Emptiness, yada yada, zee rest you know..." she finished waving her hand dismissively.
She looked over at Selphie. "I 'ave experienced zee pain... I 'ave seen zee results... I 'ave contemplated zee solutions... I did not want to see zee life of anuzzer perfectly innocent female ruined for zee sick pleasure of a man..." she said. "Zat is why I tried to stop Sakon." Selphie stared back at Dimitra.
"I thank you for that... I only wish it had been more successful..." she said.
"Heh..." Dimitra's laugh lacked all forms of humor. "You 'ave no idea just 'ow unsuccessful we were," she said gravely. "But you will find out soon enough..." There was a soft whistling noise across the room. They turned their heads to see Curt and Mace.
Mace had whistled, signaling that Sakon was almost done. Dimitra looked back over at Selphie. "You never speak of what I told you. And you most certainly do not let on zat I 'elped you. Is zat clear?" shedding the kinder demeanor she had taken when she was telling her story.
"...Crystal..." Selphie said, slightly put out by the change in expressions.
"Bien." She left Selphie, joining the boys on the other side of the room, and pretended as though she had never talked to her.
On the other side of the room Sakon had come out of the spell. He was scowling slightly. "What's the matter? Did it work? Are the Sheikahs-?" Mace asked.
"The spell worked just fine. They will be within access soon enough," Sakon snapped making his way to the table and sitting down, propping his feet up. "It's that friend of hers... Link... he's starting to figure out just what we're trying to do..." he growled. "If we do not speed up this process then they're going to figure it out and completely ruin everything!" he pounded his fist loudly on the table. He glanced around at his comrades. "If he gathers those descendants first he will be the one to come down here. And not only will that make it more difficult for our Lord Hopeful to come in and get us, but we will lose the girl!" he looked over at Selphie. "And then I won't be able to reap the benefits of my actions last night..."
"Well, then, we'll just make sure he doesn't get anymore of our people," Curt said.
"You're damn right we will..." Sakon breathed dangerously. "Or all of our plans... everything we have looked forward to for one thousand years will be ruined..."
"All right! Vamanos! We must save Rosari!" Luis cried out, running toward the cave opening.
"Where's he think he's going?" Link said to Medli, hurrying forward and grabbing Luis.
"Ay! What are you waiting for?" Luis asked.
"Luis, you're not coming in there with us, it's too dangerous," Link said. "Please, take the pig and go back and stay with Señora Elena."
"What?! But I want to help save my cousin!" Luis protested. "I want to be a hero!" he grinned, trying to make a muscle.
"Luis, how old are you?" Medli asked, kneeling in front of him.
"Ten!" he answered. "...Well, almost ten anyways."
"Even ten is too little to go in there, Luis," Link said. "From what you told us I don't think even Rosari is old enough to go in there."
"No 'buts,'" Medli said, handing the pig over, which immediately started squealing loudly. "You're going home and waiting for us. Do you understand?"
"...Sí..." Luis said dejectedly.
"Good," Medli said as she and Link started toward the cave again. "Be careful on your way there."
"And watch out for leevers!" Navi added as she and the other two disappeared into the Caverns.
The pig still hadn't stopped squealing. It was taking everything Luis had to hold the pig in his arms. "Ay! Cochina! Come on! Hold still!" He struggled with the pig threw the forest for about ten or fifteen minutes until he reached the beach. The pig was still squirming, so Luis set him down. "You are hopeless! We are going back to stay with Señora Elena. Perhaps then she'll turn you into salchicha and we won't have to worry about you causing anymore trouble..."
He started to walk into the sand when a large purple leever popped up and started toward them. "Oh, cielos!" Luis exclaimed with wide eyes, retreating back into the woods quickly. The pig caught one look at the giant leever and took off, running through the trees. "Ay! Cochina!!!" Luis yelled chasing after it. It took some time, but Luis finally caught up to the pig again, and he found him outside the Dusk Caverns. While catching his breath he stared at the pig, which stared right back at him, turning his head every so often to look into the Caverns.
"...So... you want to go in there and find them?" he asked the pig. The pig cocked its head to the side. "You're certainly not going home, are you? You miss Medli, don't you?" The pig cocked its head to the other side. "Well, if you so insist, we'll go in there and find your friend." Luis walked up to the cave opening and climbed inside...
Link and Medli made their way downward through a long tunnel, stepping around stalagmites growing up from the floor and ducking under stalactites hanging over their heads. "So far so good... what do you think is so dangerous about these caverns besides the Gomess?" Medli asked.
"I don't know. I've never really been in any caverns. Couple of caves, but they were kind of artificial I think," Link answered. "They didn't have these things hanging from the ceiling."
"They're called stalactites," Navi said, being careful to avoid flying directly underneath of them. Medli noticed it.
"Are they dangerous?" she asked.
"Well, I don't know about these ones, but in the Ice Cavern they could fall from the ceiling and hit you," Navi answered. The teens' eyes widened slightly and they each stepped out from under the stalactites above them. They reached the end of the sloping corridor and found a row of closely growing stalagmites.
"...A dead end?" Medli said as Link stepped forward and examined them. They grew straight to the ceiling, which was somewhat lower here. "Well, how are we going to find Rosari then?"
"And get out of the caverns for that matter," Navi added somewhat nervously.
"What?"
"We can't exit the way we entered. If we can't get through here, there's no way for us to get out," Navi explained.
"You mean we're going to be stuck here forever?!" Medli exclaimed.
"No. We're not," Link said.
"How do you mean-?" Link jiggled a gem sticking out of the wall next to the stalagmites. They watched as the stalagmites sank into the floor, opening the way into a new room. "...Oh..."
As soon as they stepped through the door a crystalline portcullis slammed down over it, startling them. They found their selves in a large yawning room. More stalactites covered the ceiling, though the ceiling was a lot higher up. They could see on the other side of the room was another stalagmite door. "I'd say let's go, but that excursion to the bottom of the Earth Temple taught me better," Medli said.
Navi flew over to the other side, examined the door and returned. "Listen, there's a crystalline portcullis over the other door," she said.
Link nodded, taking a few steps into the room, looking around, "That means there's something in here we gotta do, but I don't see it." Suddenly he stopped, holding out his hand for Medli to do so as well.
"What is it?" the Rito girl asked.
"There's something in here..." Link muttered. His eyes widened and he looked up just as several blue chuchus fell from the ceiling, surrounding him. "Oh, they're just chuchus," Link sighed. He took out his sword and took a slash at one of them. "Ah!!!" he screamed as electrical energy shot out of the chuchu, electrocuting him and knocking him back several feet.
"I don't think they're just chuchus," Navi said.
"Clearly," Link coughed. He pulled out his boomerang and threw it at the nearest chuchu. Then he attacked it with the sword and was relieved to not get shocked again. Link went on to take out the rest of the blue blobs and they all grinned when the portcullis over the door disappeared, and in the middle of the room a chest materialized. Medli walked over and opened it as Link put away his sword.
"That's convenient," she said as she pulled out a dungeon map. She opened it up and looked at it. "This place is pretty extensive," she said. Link walked over and looked at it. "We won't know where anything is until we get the compass though," she said.
"And thus, still don't know where Rosari is..." Link said, peering at the map. Medli handed the map and they both stood up, Link rolling up the map and pocketing it. "Well, that doesn't mean we can't find her. Let's go." They walked over to the stalagmite door, jiggled the gem next to it, and stepped through.
This next room had a much lower ceiling. Stalagmites and stalactites were either so long or so tall that they actually connected to make large natural columns. There were so many that the room was almost maze-like. Despite its lower ceiling, the room was still rather large. Link started twitching his nose and then reached up and rubbed his sleeve across it. "Gotta sneeze?" Medli asked.
"No, there's something wet on it," Link answered, pulling his arm away.
"Yipe!" Navi exclaimed as a drop of water pelted her.
"Where's that coming from?" Link asked, looking up. They were suddenly aware of a roaring noise above them. "Do you guys hear that?"
"I think we're underneath the river," Medli said stepping forward and looking up as well.
"That would explain the extra water drops," Navi said, squeaking as another water drop hit her. They heard several more squeaking noises and waited for them to stop.
"Navi, if the water drops are hitting you that much, why don't you just move?" Link asked. Navi was hit again, this drop somewhat larger and dove into Link's hat. They started walking and still heard squeaking noises. "Okay, Navi, there's no way it can be hitting you through my hat."
"I'm not doing that," Navi said, peeking out.
"Then what the-?"
"Aik!" Medli shrieked as she was hit from the side. "What's that?" she asked looking around. They couldn't see any source until many little red dots appeared in the shadows. "What's that?"
Suddenly the eyes started coming in at them, and they were attached to small black balls. "Watch out!" Navi exclaimed. These small black balls came from all around them and leapt and attacked from all sides.
"Medli, can you get to one of the stalagmites and hide for a minute?" Link asked. Medli nodded her head and forced her way through the barrage of small black balls to a column and stood behind it, peeking out a bit.
Link pulled out his sword and took out a few of the balls nearest him. Then he crouched for a moment, like he'd done with the hurricane spin. But he didn't stay like that for as long, and instead spun only once, sending a wave of energy flying from his sword. All of the creatures were knocked back and disappeared into wispy blue smoke. "Good job, Link," Navi said, poking out of his hat again.
"Any idea what those things were called, Navi?" Link inquired.
"Mm-mmn," Navi answered. "I've never seen them."
Link sighed, "What good's having a fairy around who's as old as Hyrule if she can't even tell me what a simple black ball with eyes is called?"
"Hmph!" Navi replied huffily, going back inside his hat.
"Ow...!" Link exclaimed, frowning slightly as several hairs were pulled from the top of his head. Medli rolled her eyes.
"Can we just get going?" she asked. There were a few more squeaking noises coming from other parts of the room. "I don't think that was all of those things." Link nodded his head, walking around the columns toward the door on the other side of the room. This one didn't even have a portcullis, and Link only had to jiggle the gem to open it.
Once again a portcullis slammed down over the door and they were trapped. Medli looked around, or tried to anyway. "Link... did I go blind?" she asked.
Link blinked a few times to make sure he was seeing correctly, or not seeing for that matter. "I hope not, because that means I did too," he answered. "Navi, come out of there now," he said. "The water's gone." Navi climbed out of his hat and hovered in front of his face. The fairy glowed with her own light and overcame the darkness- if only for a few inches. "Oh, good," he sighed. "I can see you."
"As can I," Medli added relievedly. "Which means this room is just pitch black." She paused for a moment. "Okay... new problem."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Link said, pulling the map out of his pocket. "Navi, come hover over the map so I can read it," he said. Navi complied and Link started squinting down at it, trying to make out the lines and boxes.
"Link, you're going to ruin your eyes if you keep squinting like that," Navi said.
"Yeah, and we don't want you looking like Mako," Medli smirked.
"Shaddap," he frowned, though neither of their facial expressions could be seen. "What do you expect me to do? We can't move around through this dark and we can't read the map unless I squint like this."
"Oh, please. Just light a fire arrow," Medli rolled her eyes- still unseen. Link's eyes widened slightly and he scowled.
"I would have thought of that..." he said, pulling out an arrow. A few seconds later its head lit up in flames and they were able to see for several feet around them. That was about all they could see though, because that's only as big as the room was. "Well, that was a waste of magic," Link said, pocketing the map once more, his scowl now clearly visible in the orange light of the fire arrow.
Medli shrugged, walking over to the door. "Oh, well. I doubt one fire arrow will be the difference between life and death," she said as Link joined her and opened the door.
"We shall see- wah!" he cried out as he stepped over the threshold. There was no floor on the other side.
"Link!" Medli exclaimed darting through the door and grabbing him. The door slammed closed, the portcullis falling over it. Medli almost started to fall too, but she quickly began flapping her wings and started to fly, or at least float in one place.
"Thanks, Medli," Link said, glancing up at her.
"Welcome. Glad to find I actually do have a purpose in here afterall," she smiled. He grinned as well. "So, uh, where exactly am I flying to?" she asked.
"Er..." Link looked around the room and found that the chasm seemed to go on forever to the left and right but a rocky wall rose up about twenty feet ahead of them. There was a niche in the wall somewhat below them and to the left on the other side. "Down there, for now at least," he said, pointing it out to her. Medli nodded and flapped over, dropping Link in the niche and then following in.
They looked around the humble niche and found that there was a door- but that there was a sort of lock over it. Medli looked over and placed her hand on it. "Okay, so perhaps this isn't the way to go," she said, turning back.
"Well, let's see what is the way to go then," Link said pulling out the map. Medli joined him and they peered at the map. "This room has doors on three different levels," he said, pointing them out. "There's one farther down to the right of where we entered," he said, pointing to a niche on the same side of the chasm they were on.
"I see one almost directly below us," Navi said, indicating another.
"And one more a little farther left below us," Link said, indicating a last one. "It looks like the one farther down and the one below us are blocked off though."
"So, we'll go to the one next to it," Medli said. Link nodded his head and pocketed the map again. He picked Medli up and held onto her feet as they jumped out of the niche and Medli flew down to their left into the niche. Just as shown on the map, the door was unlocked and they walked through.
"Ay! Come on, cochina! Rapidamente!" Luis cried as he ran through the room, the pig at his heels.
"Oink-oink!" it squealed. They ran in between columns and soon forgot which direction they were going in. All they knew is that they were running from the small black balls that were behind them.
"Oh! Bueno!" Luis cried out suddenly, spotting a door between two columns ahead. He reached the door, picked up the pig, jiggled the gem, and stepped through, leaning heavily on it. "Ay, ay, ay..." he said. "I hope I don't have to deal with those... cosas ever again..." The pig dropped its rear end to the floor and sat panting as well. Luis stood up straight again and looked around the room. "Hala..." he said.
The roof of the room was covered in glowing white spikes growing in all directions on the ceiling, which was still fairly low. "They look like orquídeas," he said. He took a few steps into the room, staring up at the anthodites. He frowned slightly in thought and reached up, taking one in his hand and pulling gently. It broke off cleanly in his hand. He grinned. "Guay," he said.
Luis turned around to look at the pig. "Oy, cochina. Look at this," he said. The pig looked up and cocked its head to the side. Luis grinned again and put the anthodite in his pocket.
"Peep-peep!"
"Oops!" Luis grimaced slightly. "Lo siento, Pyoko," he said to the baby bird that poked its head out of his pocket. "I forgot you were in there," he lightly pushed the chick back down and put the anthodite in his other pocket. "Well, vamanos, cochina," he said. The pig joined him at his heels and looked up at him. Luis turned around to grin at him. "We're going to save Rosari!"
Luis heard a squeaking noise behind him and his eyes widened. White balls were floating down from among the anthodites- and they had small red eyes.
"Dios mío... Estás bromeando?!"'
Me: Okay, so I probably really screwed up the conjugation on that last line. It's supposed to say, "Oh, my god... Are you kidding?!" I didn't want you all to be confused if the translators didn't get it cuz I did a bad job. u.u Anyway, just so everyone knows, those little balls that were chasing everyone around were black boes and the ones that Luis just ran into were white boes. They usually disguise their selves as snowflakes, but I decided to hide them among the anthodites.
So, yeah, I used some cave terminology in here. I feel like such a geek for knowing this cause I love going in caverns. We went into the Seneca Caverns on our most recent camping trip and that was pretty cool. And just in case you couldn't tell, Luis went through a different door than Link and Medli in that one room. They'll find each other though...
And have you ever tried explaining to a nine year-old why he or she is too little to do something? Damn are they stubborn at that age. Hehe... I liked Luis' logic. "Well, I don't want to disobey Link, but if you're going to keep squealing we might as well go find Medli... and if we find Rosari on the way that's a-okay too." d
Enough about that part of the chapter, I must talk about Dimitra! I favor her. So, yeah, that's her story. One might think that because she has a purpose for being evil she would be less evil, but that is not true. She's far more malevolent than Curt or Mace and far more dangerous. Possibly even more so than Sakon, but he's still the scariest. By far.
Yah, I never named the husband... didn't feel like it... didn't think it was necessary. Thanks, Kearra, for giving me her old name though. I went with that name because of Fleur Delacour from Harry Potter. Hehe... But, yeah. Now Dimitra's gotta turn on the cold shoulder so that Sakon doesn't know she's helping Selphie. Feh.
Okay, well, keep it real guys. I'll be back with another chapter soon, I guess. I still really need to get on my summer reading and watching. School starts on the 30th... .o Enk! Oh, well. See ya later. R&R!
