Time to tie up this plot arc. This chapter doesn't have a specific song, and is very short. But oh well.

Enjoy!

Zelda walked back into the camp, Navi leading the way. The sun was high in the sky.

"Link's over here," Navi said. "He's been worried about you."

Zelda followed Navi, and saw Link. He was sitting, cross-legged, on the ground, staring at something in his hands. Something that glowed in a million colours.

"Link," Navi said. Link looked up.

A look of relief washed over his face. He ran to Zelda, catching her in a hug. "There you are," he said. Then he looked down at what still rested in his hand. "I... think I have something that belongs to you," he said. He looked at the glowing thing, which Zelda realized was her heart, then said, "Except I don't exactly know how to return it."

"Like this," Zelda said. She took hold of his hands and pressed them over where her heart would go. The glowing light melted back into her, and she smiled. Then she hugged him tight.

Link smiled. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine now," she said, "I had to do it, but going without my heart wasn't very fun."

"I'm sure," Link said. "Now, I think you have a story to tell."

"Alright," said Zelda, "But is anyone else going to ask? I don't want to have to tell it more than once."

"I'll get them," Navi said. "You two just stay there."

Link peered into her face. "You look tired," he said.

Zelda laughed slightly. "Tired? Me?" She yawned hugely, rested her head on Link's shoulder. He put his arms around her and smiled. Zelda revelled in the sudden peace. After the nightmare, the reconnaissance, being captured, and the panicked run back to the fountain, her nerves had been grated enough for one day.

Navi came back a few moments later, followed by half the camp. "They all wanted to hear," she said.

Zelda laughed. Sitting up, she explained what had happened. When she got to the part about Mark, who thought he was dreaming, Ness nodded knowledgeably.

"He probably was," he said. "Sometimes people actually travel to other worlds and other places in their dreams."

"So he really was dreaming?" Zelda said.

Ness looked around, realized all eyes were on him, and nodded, slightly abashed. "Yeah. I've done it a couple of times myself."

"Alright," said Zelda, nodding. She finished her story.

Marth raised an eyebrow. "Quite an adventure," he said.

Zelda laughed. "Yes. And now I'm tired." she looked around. "Are we leaving just yet?"

"I doubt it," said Link. "Half of us were up all night. Some rest would be nice."

"Yes, it would," agreed Zelda. She followed Link to their bedrolls, laid out next to each other, and lay down. She was asleep almost immediately, tucked up in his arms.

Ness leaned back against a rock, pondering Zelda's story. There was something bothering him... something he had forgotten... Something about Dream Travelling...

He sat bolt upright. Dream-travelling was a craft long practised by psychics and mages alike. That he knew. But it was next to impossible to do it without training. Or, at least, without a very powerful magician helping you. So either this songwriter was crazy, or he was hiding something.

I hope you enjoyed this plot arc, courtesy of my very strange imagination. If you did, or have anything whatsoever you wanted to say, just
