Part 1

The rough pounding of hooves on a hard dirt road jetted me back to life. The hardly breathing body of Lozen in my lap, and the sound of hundreds of boblins behind me. This won't be easy.

Zelda gave me and Lozen a mission. To,

"Clear out as many camps to the east as you can. Dismissed."

That was all she said.

I was about half way to the eastern front, when I saw them.

Hundreds of boblins on horseback. They started blowing horns as soon as I saw them,and the charging started.

Lozen went down, and I jumped after her.

I can't remember how many boblins I killed, just that the sword I had looked black. After a few seconds, I loaded me and Lozen up on my horse, and began rushing for Kakariko on Dignus.

"ugh..."

I looked down.

Lozen looked like she'd been in a bad fix, she had a cut across her arms, and a nasty looking wound on her left hand. Her eyes were glassy and going into the back of her head.

I stopped myself... If I keep worrying I'd just make matters worse.

"Hiya!"

I spurred Dignus on to her full speed.

After about a minute I heard Lozen start talking.

"Link... Link you can stop."

I didn't listen I kept whooping Dignus after a few seconds of rest.

Lozen grabbed the reigns, and pulled Dignus back. We both toppled over, and Dignus reared up, toppling us over.

"Lozen! Are you okay!"

I rushed over to her form, she didn't look good.

"Try not to move."

She was trying to be brave, but the shivering of her hands, along with the growing patches of red on her arms, was all too clear as to what was happening.

I rolled up both of her sleeves, revealing two very deep wounds. I checked one... It was just flesh.

I checked the other... Poison. There was a growing amount of yellow pouring into her veins.

I went into my bag and grabbed bandages, and some potent medicine to destroy the poison.

I wrapped her wounds as best I could on the first arm, then moved on to the next. First I wrapped her arm the best I could, but left a small opening.

I dripped a small amount of the antidote into her injured arm, and had her swallow a bit of the medicine.

I wrapped the rest of the bandages the best I could, and stood her up.

"Can you walk?"

"Yes... I can."

I grabbed the reins of Dignus, and draped her arm across my shoulders, carrying her to a nearby cave.

I slumped against the wall. I had Dignus against one wall, eating some dry grass.

On the other, I had me and Lozen. She had passed out from the pain, and was leaning on me. I put my arm around her, and pulled a blanket over us both.

I kept my sword near me, just in case.

I shut my eyes to rest, and began my nightly rest. I slept, very lightly, through the night. It was tedious, but I didn't go into a full sleep until first dawn, and even then I didn't move until Lozen stirred.

I felt her warm tears against my shirt, and I think she realised what had happened.

Both of her arms were broken. We were stranded in the middle of Hyrule, and there was a constant guard of monsters going through the entirety of Hyrule field.

We had no where to go...

Part 2

I woke up to Lozen straddling me.

"Don't move Link."

That's when I heard a few boblins behind her, outside the cave.

She kept the thick black blanket around me and her, and I did as she told me to. After about the longest minute of my life, I heard one of them shout something to the other, and they rode away.

Lozen didn't move though.

"I need to thank you Link... I was looking behind me when they started to rush us. I didn't even know what was happening until I felt clubs being smashed into my arms, and that's when I saw you."

I looked up at her, and I saw a very peculiar look. It was a blushing girl,but there was something else I couldn't place. She was breathing fairly heavy.

"You saved me Link, and now I want to reward you."

She sank down until her eyes were level with mine. And she started to slowly go forward.

I stopped her.

She looked distraught, like she didn't understand. I moved my hand from her lips, and she said,

"What... Why did you stop me?"

"Because I don't want you to do something like that because you want to thank me. It should be because you love me."

I looked her in the eyes when I said this. Lozen immediately placed her lips firmly on mine.

It felt incredible. Lozen started to moved around a bit, like she had been dying to do this for quite a while. I started to kiss her back, and put my arms around her. As she started to pull back, I felt her tongue slid against my lips.

"I love you Link."

Her eyes were so full of happiness, and I said,
