Hey guys, back again. I'm gonna be honest here, I sort of avoided this chapter because I don't exactly like doing filler content for things. Which is what this is. Why is it filler? Well, you'll figure it out soon enough. Anyways, how about a

STORY SUPOOORT!

This one goes to my friend MetaGiga, who has a little reader interaction stories. You know the ones, asking some OC or copyrighted characters some questions or some truth or dare! And the title of the story should be self-explanatory. "LoZ; Truth or Dare Torture." Yeah, when you gather up EVERY SINGLE LoZ CHARACTER and put them through some *insert title here*, you know things will get hectic. From playing some classic pranks, to confessing some feelings about some people, to even making (hold onto your butts) the great fairies do the Harlem Shake! Yeah, I bet that made you laugh, didn't it? Well GO NOW, VENTURE OVER TO HER PROFILE QUICKLY! Well, now that I got that out of the way, time for the next chapter!

Chapter 18; Of Swords and Snowpeaks

Adri's POV

"Why Didn't you save us?"

"No, please stop, I tried, I really did!"

"You could have saved both of us, yet you let us die!"

"Please, don't do this to me! I loved you both, like family! I would do anything to help you two!"

"Stop lying you scum! You knew that our death would happen, yet you couldn't prevent them? What a pathetic excuse. If you let us die, then you shall die as well!" He took out his sword, I knew what he was going to do. He swung it left, upwards, and brought it down onto the earth.

Lightning appeared, and struck my back. I yelled out in agony, for it felt like an electric spear had been thrust into my back. I looked up to both of them, they both had a dead look in their eyes. Why would they do this to me?!

He walked over to my body, which was laid down on the ground, not moving under him. He raised his sword skyward, and thrusted it into my neck.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

I bolted up into a sitting position, I was, on a bed? Where am I? I looked around, I was in some sort of wooden home, and my bed wasn't exactly luxury. It was mostly some clothing balled up and but behind my head. So it wasn't even a bed at all.

It was at this point I realized, 'Oh yeah, Hidden Village.'

As soon as I had this thought, a man rushed into my little room. Or shall I put it, my house. I was just sleeping in one of the currently empty houses, with not even any doors. Just an upstairs, and a downstairs. The man got over to me, and knelt down to my side. "Are you okay Miss?"

I took a quick look at him. He had pointy ears (pointing out that he was Hylean), glasses, and *PING! This was Shad, from the resistance. He actually didn't have that much of a difference from the game, or two years ago. Heck, he was even wearing the same clothes!

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I didn't really feel like talking, my dream-no-my nightmare still lingered in my mind. Both of them doing that, saying that I didn't save them, they would never do that! But I-i-

I leaned forward, and let the tears flow. I did try to save them, both of them! But in the end, I just couldn't. Something wasn't letting me, and that something, was fate.

"Miss, its fine, you were probably just having a nightmare. That's all!" Shad said. I knew it was, but seeing their faces again just, haunted me! The tears kept coming, and I couldn't let them stop.

"It's okay now, you're alright. Whatever happened in there won't hurt you out here!" he must of meant my dream, but he didn't know what it was. How could he know? But, he was right nevertheless. I forced myself to calm down and stop crying, I couldn't let the others see me like this.

My two waterfalls got clogged, and the salty water stopped coming out. My breathing slowed back down, and I calmed down altogether. "Okay, good. Actually wasn't sure if that would work." He thought I wouldn't hear that, nice try you little nerd!

I looked down at myself, and I was surprisingly okay! My clothes were fixed up, and I didn't feel any bruises! I didn't want to check my stomach though, with Shad in front of me and all. I wasn't sure how my hair looked, in case if it was back to normal or not. Plus, I'm pretty sure I would sound weird if I woke up from a nightmare screaming, and then asking about my hair.

I tried to stand up, but regretted it instantly. I became lightheaded, and everything became fuzzy to look and listen to. I wasn't sure what happened after that fight with Zant, but I hope nothing bad happened. I heard Shad say something, but I could only hear muffled talk. I would ignore him either way.

I felt him put a hand on my shoulder, but I smacked it off. I had to see what was going on. With my hand on the wall to balance myself, I walked out to the opening. It was a lot more difficult with me like this, like, have you ever been sick and still walked around your house to get something? That is what I felt like.

I got to the opening, and looked up. There was way more people here now! Not just people from Ordon or Kakiriko, but what looked like knights and Castle Town people too. Maybe that was why everything was so quiet when Link and I got there. But just like last time, everyone looked depressed.

I walked outside the house opening, and I got some peoples' attention. I ignored them, all I cared about was getting to Impaz's house to see if anyone was there. I kept walking, my left hand on the houses to balance myself. Whenever I got to one of the parts that separated the houses, I stumbled forward to quickly get to the next one.

After what seemed like the entire day, I finally got to Impaz's. I heard some more talking, which sounded like they had more voices in there, but like last time they were all muffled to me. I put my hand to the doorknob, but my hands were too sweaty, so my hand slid right off and I fell down.

I was on my hands and knees, and I didn't want to move. My breathing was heavy, and I felt like I was about to throw up. Like I said earlier, this was sort of like when you stumble around your house when you are all alone sick. But I had to get up, I wasn't going to sit idly if everyone else was doing something!

I felt Shad put his hand on my shoulder again, and I smacked it away. Without hearing myself clearly, I said, "Leave me alone Shad, I don't need your help! You don't understand what's going on, so mind your own business!" Just talking drained me even more, looks like I have to not do that either.

He took his hand off my shoulder, and I heard him talk again. But, that wasn't his muffled voice, it was a different one. I saw a hand at the corner of my eye, but the sleeve that was on his arm wasn't Shad's. I looked up to see who it belonged to, and instead of Shad, there was Aden!

I smiled a little, and took his hand. He lifted me up onto my feet, and up to his level. I felt the same crappy way I used to a couple seconds ago, so I put my hands onto the wall of Impaz's house. "Sorry for yelling." I said through a breath. He took one of my arms, and put it around my shoulder. I looked at him, and nodded as a thank you.

He opened the door for us, and I didn't need to look up to see their astonished faces of us here. I could just feel it. Aden walked me over to an empty chair, and sat me down. I felt a little better, so I could hear and see clearly now. And it was a pain trying to get that song out of my head after that.

"-you both need some sleep, you can't be walking around right now!" I didn't hear the first part because my hearing was still a little fuzzy when Midna said that. I looked up, and saw who was here right now. There was Link, Midna, Aden, Impaz, and someone that was new here.

Zelda.

I panicked for a second, worried that I would be punished for not bowing in front of her or whatever, so I quickly did a little bow in my seat in hopes of that working. Instead, I got a sigh from her and, "I do not wish to be treated as royalty outside my castle. You do not need to bow in my presence."

I wasn't expecting that sort of response. Plus, bowing so fast made me feel even more woozy. So I slowly got up, to make sure that I wouldn't barf. I looked her in the eyes, "Sorry 'bout that, wasn't sure what to do."

"It is quite fine," she said back, with a slight smile. "just treat me like you would your other friends." I nodded slightly just in case. I looked over to Impaz, who thankfully looked the same from yesterday.

"I am glad to see that you are well Adri." She said. I was glad she was okay too, and I thought that she was alright. That is, until she began to cough again. It sounded a little worse than last time, but not that bad. "Thank you Impaz, although, I can't really say the same for you."

"I am quite alright, but I understand your words." She said, calming down from her coughing fit. "Link has updated me on your adventure, and I must congratulate you all." Now that I think about it, what happened? Sure, they were able to save Zelda, but what happened after my fight with Zant?

I looked over to Link, and right now, I didn't care about being all fangirl at the moment. "Yeah, what happened anyways? I wasn't exactly around the whole time to see what happened to you guys."

"Well, 't's a bit 've a long story."

Aden's POV

I let everyone else tell the story, I was too busy thinking to myself about The Shade's training session. He had taught me a magic art known as Farore's Wind. It was a trick to quickly get from one place to another, as long as it wasn't that long of a distance.

I could still remember him telling me how to do it, and what it was like. Using Farore's Wind was, certainly something. It was hard to describe. But, I might as well try to do it. Think of it like this. It's like having a huge gust of wind being pushed right through you. You lose consciousness for a couple seconds, but when you wake back up, you're standing somewhere else.

But before seeing the Shade again, it was certainly déjà vu. Floating in the blackness again, feeling like I was about to die again. The searing pain in my back, unbearable pain. Then suddenly, no pain, and I was back in The Shade's little training place.

I wasn't really listening to their story, so I wasn't sure about what happened. I honestly didn't even care that much about it, they saved me, and that's that.

I didn't want to be rude though, so I stayed the entire time pretending to listen. Each side of their story lasted about maybe an hour or less. I listened in on some parts though, so I can say a small briefing.

Adri turned giant and had a battle with that Zant guy, sure wished I could see that.

Link rushed up the castle to save Princess Zelda, since both me and Midna were unconscious.

When Midna woke up, The Shade fixed me up and rushed us out of here.

And after all that, they all met up at the entrance together and warped back here. But the most important part was how the Fierce Deity destroyed all of the portals. We weren't even sure that it could do that! It would make our little mission quite complicated.

"Aden?"

I looked up, finally focusing at what was going on. Everyone was looking at me, but since I wasn't listening, I had no idea what was going on.

"We weren't sure if you were focusing or not, we think we know what we are going to do now." Midna said. I sat back up, straightening my back. "Sorry, I was just thinking. So what's the plan?"

"Okay. Adri?"

Adri nodded, and looked over to me. "When me and Link went to warn Rails, my Triforce mark," she lifted up the back of her hand. "was glowing when pointed at the Snowpeak cave. Which means that someone has to be there, golden goddess or Triforce bearer.

"So the plan is simple. We go to Snowpeak and get whoever is there. But we need to do this fast, we don't exactly have any fast way of getting there now."

"Although, do all've us h've to go?" Link asked. Everyone looked over to him, confused at what he asked.

"Midna 'n I were able to get to the top easy, we could go 'rselves." There was a "hmm" from Adri, and silence after that. A couple more seconds of thought later, and the silence was broken.

"I guess that could work." Midna said.

"Wait please, I have something to say." Everyone turned over to Princess Zelda, who was still sitting there looking formal.

"Link, I do not think you should go up Snowpeak. Instead, you should go back to the Ordon Providence and get the Master Sword, it could help in our current struggles." The Master Sword, that sounded familiar. Although, I couldn't put my finger on it. It certainly sounded important nevertheless.

"That, act'ally sounds like a good idea Zelda." Link said. I nodded in agreement, it would be a good idea if we all split up for now anyways. If we all went up a snowy mountain at once, it could make our mission harder than usual.

"Plus, if there are any large blocks of ice, I can just melt them with my fire!" Adri sounded like she had the best idea in the world, and while it was a good one, it wasn't the best one. What if the flame wasn't strong enough?

"Uh, Adri?" Link said. "I think you should stay behind f'r now, same goes f'r you Aden."

"What?! No way!" She yelled. "I'm not going to sit around while you guys do all the work! I want to help too!"

"Yeah, I do too! If you guys go, we all go!" I yelled with her. Midna sighed.

"Well, it's no use fighting with you two on this. If you want, you two can come along." I'll have to thank Midna later.

"Great! In that case, how about we get going now?" Adri exclaimed, seeming really excited for this. But as soon as she stood up, her knees began to shake and she fell down. I ran over to her and lifted her back up, with her leaning on my shoulder.

"We all still think that you should rest Adri. Maybe we wait until then to leave?" Zelda said. Adri quickly shook her head.

"No! I said before, I want to help! And we need to get going right away, we don't have time to waste!"

"Hang on Adri," Link said. "I might just h've a s'lution. We can take Epona w'th us and you c'n rest on her back. That way, you c'n rest as we walk there!"

"That would be reasonable," Zelda said. "What do you say to that Adri?" I could hear her "Hmm" again for a couple seconds. "Yeah, I guess that can work. Thanks Zelda." Adri said, and getting a smile from Zelda as well.

"Good luck again heroes"- Impaz said before going into another coughing fit. "I wish you safe travels once again."

Everyone (Except Impaz of course) got up and walked out. Adri was still leaning on my shoulder, I didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't have any injuries. From what Zelda said in that little story recap, she used some of her magic to help heal her. Maybe it was just some sort of sickness?

Anyways, we managed to get Adri on top of Epona, and into a lying down position so she could sleep. Within seconds of putting her up there, she was out. No questions asked. Then I got déjà vu all over again. We began to pack everything up. We got some food and water for all of us, the only difference is that I didn't have my basket with me.

It must have been taken or broken apart when I was unconscious back in Castle Town. I guess I was stuck with these clothes for now.

I refilled the food and water supply with my magic (While getting some stares from the Castle Town people) right as we were about to leave. Then, something happened that pretty much confirmed my déjà vu.

"Um, excuse me mister?" I heard a girl say behind me. I turned around, and saw a girl standing there. She looked old, but everything about her clothing just screamed little girl. She had an umbrella, and a poofy dress that were both extremely colorful with multiple colors.

"Yeah? What is it miss?" I asked the girl.

"You're going out to fight the meanie monsters, right?" Yeah, this girl definitely had the mind of a child in a teenager body. But I couldn't say that in front of her, I didn't want to hurt her feelings. So instead, I nodded.

"Those meanies killed my bug friends, so when you see them again," she looked into my eyes with a really innocent look. "can you give them a good hit on the head for me?"

"Don't worry miss, I'll make sure to hit them for, uh, your bugs. You have my word." I said. She looked really happy, said "Thank you sir!" and skipped away. Certainly the weirdest person I have seen so far. Besides Zant and the Fierce Deity though.

Alright, good. I managed to update this around midnight, so I guess that means I did my quota? Either way, I'm really tired right now. Sorry if this chapter seemed shorter than the rest, I just felt like I had to get this done today. And sorry again, because there won't exactly be any action until a couple chapters in the future. But anyways, I hoped you liked this chapter! And make sure to R,R&S! Bye!
