Dark: Well, Link's being difficult, as he keeps rereading the last chapter, and hence, his memory has to keep getting wiped.

Link: This can't be good for my Hero position.

Dark: Well, I know how to solve this problem. Magical Barrier of Forgetfulness when Inserted into Fic!

Link and Shokin: Oo

Dark: Yep! When you go in, you forget, when you come out, you remember! Yay!

Shokin to Link: She's lost it.

Link to Shokin: Yep.

Dark: Hey, I heard that! I am the author, you know! Link, get in there!

Warnings: Um, nothing really.

Link: Really? I don't have to worry about anything?

Dark: Well... oh, get in there::kick:

Chapter 20

Impa came out of her quarters and into the hall where everyone was waiting. Link, Zelda, and King Hyrule looked at Impa, hoping she had answers.

"Well," she said, "I have found a match."

The king nodded. "Go on."

"You're not going to like what I found."

"We don't care. Just tell us: did you find the father?" Link said.

"Yes. Nejora's father…"

"Well?" said Zelda.

"… is Ganondorf," Impa concluded.

"WHAT!" everyone else exclaimed.

"Not possible!" Link yelled.

"The blood matches. Nejora is half Sheikah, so I suppose that's how it works. I think if he was full Gerudo he wouldn't exist."

"Well, we now know he wanted Ganondorf out to rule the world," Zelda said irritably.

"That stinking, no good Gerudo!" Link fumed. "He couldn't wait a hundred years to when I'm dead for the next Gerudo male to be born! He had to go have a son to spite me!"

"Um, Link?" Zelda said quietly. "Ganondorf probably didn't know you were going to exist at that time."

"You're right. If he did, he would have had about ten of 'em," Link stated dryly.

"Okay, getting back to the matter at hand, thank you, Impa. Now we know what we're up against. I'll get Rauru to reinforce the seal on the Sacred Realm. Everyone, prepare for an attack on Kakariko, and on the seal binding Ganondorf."

Sure enough, two days later, Kakariko was in flames. Everyone there retreated to Death Mountain, where the Gorons offered their hospitality. Nejora had come quickly and left quickly. Link ended up playing the Song of Storms to call rain so the fires would be put out.

Zelda insisted on spending more time with Link to help him look for Delyn. She considered it her fault for some reason unknown to Link that Delyn wasn't around. It didn't bother Link. He was getting to spend more time with Zelda. (A/N: Idiot! Thwacks Link)

Looking out at Lake Hylia, Link became frustrated. Zelda saw his eyebrows slant, and said, "Don't worry, Link; we'll find her."

"I'm not worrying about finding her. It's just she's being so stubborn," Link stated.

"What exactly did you two fight about?"

Link's face reddened. "I… I think it was about you to begin with."

"Why ever did you fight about me?" Zelda asked, surprised.

"I think Delyn doesn't like you. I don't know why; I think you're terrific."

Zelda was silent for a minute. "…Maybe she's…"

"She's what?"

"Nevermind, it's not important. I don't feel her here. Do you?" Link shook his head. "Okay, where have we not searched?"

"Gerudo Valley."

"Then that's where we're going."

Dark: Let's see, shall I do one more?

Shokin: Ask the readers.

Dark: Okay. Readers, shall I do one more chapter today?

Faint voice in distance: Yes!

Dark: Oo, Link::grabs Link from behind couch:

Link: ow...

Dark: Fine, you want another chapter?

Link: Yes! I must get Delyn back!

Dark: Not yet. Fic You doesn't know she's in trouble yet.

Link: She's in trouble! What's he doing to her!

Dark: Oh dear, um, nothing! Nothing at all::Whistles:

Link: You B$#&:: draws Gilded Sword:

Dark: AH! HELP! Okay, okay, chapter 21's coming!
