Author's Notes: I put two chapters in one this time, just because they were both really short and they were both from his POV. Hope you guys appreciate that. I'm almost done typing this! SO MUCH EXCITE! The sequel will come after, but it may be a little while. I need to write about 2 more chapters of it and then type it, editing like crazy.

Enjoy and review!

Chapter 25: Link

The two of us stood there as our surroundings changed. It went from empty to filled with light and decorations. It looked like a castle, a castle I recognized…

"Hyrule Castle," I said.

It looked exactly like I remembered. The carpet was soft and luxurious. The torches were bright and merry. There were paintings of Zelda, her father, and her mother. Star touched the painting of the princess.

"I look so much like her…" she said.

"No you don't. You have a different look in your eyes. Hers are sweet and wise, but yours are clever and persuasive. You have some qualities of Zelda's, but you also have many of your own." I explained reassuringly. I saw her expression soften.

"Ok," Star said gratefully. "We should get going."

I nodded. We walked down the hall to what should be the throne room, though I had a feeling it wasn't. I also had a feeling that this wasn't Hyrule Castle. The temple looked like a ghost temple, so it probably took on different forms. Star and I stopped in front of the big wooden doors.

"Ready?" I asked.

She grasped my hand. "Ready."

Chapter 26: Link

It was just like my dream, just with Star in it too. I saw Zelda behind bars and a puzzle. It was kind of dark, but the tiles that we were standing on glowed softly purple*. The rest was a pulsing gray-green. I remembered from my dream that when I stood in front of the puzzle I got tired and lost my strength quickly, which meant that I'd either have to solve it from here or be extremely quick.

"Star, don't step on—" I was cut off by a cry of pain on my right. Star had let go of my hand and was huddled on the ground in a ball on her tile. She moaned and did NOT sound okay.

"Talk to me. What's wrong?" I was worried and slightly aggravated because bad things just kept happening.

She was starting to look transparent.

"I can't feel… my body… it hurts…" Her speech was light and breathless, but she let out a faint scream when she looked down at her hand. "It's like I'm… disappearing!"

"Alright… Stay with me, I can't lose you too… Star…" My vision was blurry. Curse these childish eyes, threatening to cry at everything…

Her image was getting fainter and fainter.

"Goddesses! Spare her!" I screamed desperately. They MUST be behind this. "She's human too! And she's my friend…"

The air pulsed with power and silence.

Then Star gradually stopped moaning and looked more solid.

"Thank you." I said, truly grateful to them for once.

"Thanks Link." Said Star, fully recovered and standing. "Now go on. You have a girl to save. I'll help you if I can, but as far as I can tell it's all you."

"Ok. Let's do this."

End of chapter notes:

*Inspiration from Phantom Hourglass, when you have to go through the maze using the glowing tiles to keep life from draining. That does NOT make this a crossover. It's too late for that xD

I'm sorry if these scenes are a bit rushed. I was writing this about a year ago in the car, and I was just a LITTLE BIT excited that I was almost done xD
