A/N: I dedicate this chapter to my beloved friend Maggie. Without her, I would have never had the kick in the pants to write this chapter. Although she stole Tyler away from me (sort of) I love her to itty bitty bits. D

Shiek and Link were far away from where they started in the morning, and the sun was setting. Link turned to Shiek to ask her a question, but before he had opened his mouth, a black cloud decended upon them, and they were whisked away to a dungeon somewhere, without their horses. A tall, gray-haired man stood in the corner, outside the bars, leaning casually against the wall. He was garbed in riding boots, black breeches and a long, black cloak. He had scars all up and down his arms, and many silver rings adorned his hands.
"Thank you for dropping in," Doyle smirked at his own joke. "My name is Doyle, and you are Link, the Hero of Time and wielder of the Master Sword, are you not?" Doyle slipped over to the bars of the cell and grabbed Link by the neck, squeezing just hard enough to make it difficult for him to breathe. "Not exactly what I would call 'hero material'..." He said, giving Link a quick once-over. Then he released Link and turned his attention to Shiek.
"And princess Zelda herself!" He said, waving a hand over her and turning her head bandages to dust. "What an honor," He said, bowing mockingly. "It is quite a coincidence that you should come by...you see, I have something of yours that I took from you long ago...you didn't even know you had it...And neither did he," He said, with a pointed look at Link. "I suppose I should let you see it...but I wager that you're tired from your long journey. Rest up, my dears!" And with that he left the dungeon, cackling.
"What was that about?" Link was very confused. He glanced over at Zelda, who looked very pale. "Zelda, are you okay?!?" Link ran over to her and helped her sit down. "What's wrong?"
Zelda looked forlornly at Link, who looked incredibly worried about her. "Nothing...I-it's nothing..."
"It's nothing..."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Doyle waltzed into his study, very much pleased with what had gone on that day. He sat down at his desk and took out a small crystal orb. Inside that orb was a tiny fetus, still alive, but frozen in time. He gazed at it a while, smirking. Then he put it back in his desk and grabbed his knitting. He decided that he would knit himself a new bedspread.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Zelda had curled up in a corner and shooed Link away almost an hour ago. Link was sitting in the opposite corner, leaning up against the bars of the cage. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't hear the small rustling from behind him, nor did he hear the ticking noises that were getting closer. He didn't realize that he wasn't alone in the room until something tapped him on the shoulder.
He whirled around as fast as he could while sitting down and found himself face to face with a very large, furry, black cat, with very reptilian tail and feet.
"Stop staring at me, it's very rude," It said indignantly. "I'm Kali," It swished its tail patiently.
"I-I'm Link..." Link was slightly hypnotized by the swishing movements of the cats scaly tail.
Kali sniffed the air. "Your mate has lost something very dear to her...She has only figured it out..." She said thoughtfully.
"Do you know what it is?" Link asked desperately.
Kali sniffed again. "She doesn't wish you to know,"
Link sighed heavily. "I figured that..." He said sadly.
"Do not despair, human, I'm sure she has good reason," Kali soothed.
oooooooooooooooooooo Much Later oooooooooooooooooooooo
Zelda had emerged from her corner and crawled over to Link and Kali. She and Kali were introduced, and the trio had fallen asleep. Then Doyle strode in. Kali was the first up, and she jumped to her feet, hackles up and growling.
"Ah, Kali...I see you've been fraternizing with my prisoners. Glad to see you having a good time, even though Kama met his end..." Doyle frowned thoughtfully. "Such a pity...Oh, well," Link and Zelda had woken up by this time, and Doyle turned his attention to them. "Good morning, loves, I trust you had a good sleep! I would like you to meet someone..." He whipped out the crystal orb with the fetus in it. "Link. Zelda. Meet your daughter,"

A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!! Muahaha! I fugging love cliffhangers. I'm sorry it's short, but I really wanna go and knit some more...Yes, I made Doyle have one of my hobbies. X3 Just so you know, Kali and Kama are both names from Hindu Mythology, Kali being the fierce, destructive side of the wife of Shiva, and Kama being the god of love. Review for me, peeps!
