*Dancing around the room*

Dreamer- *walks in*

Teller- *grabs Dreamer and starts dancing with her*

Dreamer- AGH! TELLER WHAT THE FU-

Teller- Watch you language! *stops dancing* gosh.

Dreamer- Why in the world were we just dancing?

Teller- Cuz I got more reviews!

Dreamer- if your going to get so many, you need to learn to chill about it.

Teller- *rolls eyes* whatever, SHOUT OUT TIME!

Kyumi07- Yayy! Yeah, Shadow and Vio are my favorite too! Wait… what about Green? Is he the ONLY one you can wait to see? Huh..

Carmenwashere- Thank you! And those all are some very interesting ideas. Yeah, I couldn't stop but laugh at the whole 'Master Sword' thing afterword XD

SombodyGuest- hehe… um.. well.. about that…

Dreamer- can I tell them?

Teller- NO! *sigh* don't worry about the whole end thing, that's just Dreamer being Dreamer. Now, I did see your other reviews, and I'd like to say; Thank you so much! :D And to answer your question; The reason Shadow seemed affected by light whereas Shelda isn't, is because her mirror was created to make it that she (and whoever is connected to it too.) is ammuned to the light. Hence why Shadow doesn't seem to be affected by it anymore. Does that answer your question? I hope so :D

Teller- Alright! Don't want ya'll to wait as long as the others for Dreamer's story-

Dreamer- Hey, you cant be talking, I already deleted that.

Teller- … Wait…. What?! That was a good story!

Dreamer- I know, I'm redoing it, so it's not as short.

Teller- OH! Ok! I can't wait till it's back up!

Dreamer- Why? Are you going to read it?

Teller- Nope! Any who, here's Chapter 12!

Dreamer- Wow, harsh.

On With the Story! :D

Shadow watched as Shelda ran down the tunnel, disappearing from Shadow's sight. Taking the time he had, Shadow let his thoughts wander. It was clear now what Bluie meant by 'The Links changed'; someone (no doubt Twinrova) cast some sort of spell or whatnot on the Links, changing them into the very thing they fight.

'Clever.' Thought Shadow as he really thought about it. 'But that means this whole mission might be harder then we thought..' Shadow sighed at that thought. Yeah, a whole lot harder then they first thought.

'This will be fun then.' Thought Shadow dryly as he looked Blue over. Remembering how he told Shelda he'd try to wake the boy, Shadow took a deep breath and leaned forward.

"Hey." He said, gently shaking Blue's shoulder, trying to stir said boy.

"C'mon Blue, I need you to wake up." Shadow repeated this action for a bit, until finally, Shadow watched as Blue's face scrunched up as he slowly came to. Stopping his shaking, Shadow leaned over as Blue's eye fluttered open, letting out a moan of pain.

"Wha- ugh.." said Blue, his voice thick and rough from not being used in awhile. Shadow waited a moment for Blue to gather his surroundings before speaking again;

"You alright?" he asked as Blue's eye became more focused as he laid it on Shadow. Shadow watched patiently as Blue swallowed, closing his eye in pain.

"Been better." Was his simple reply, voice barely above a whisper. Opening his eye again, Blue looked at Shadow, eye full of confusion as he asked in his quiet, stubborn voice.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Shadow couldn't help but chuckle, shifting into a more comfortable sitting position.

"Well," he said as he looked at his friend. "lets just say I had some help. Don't worry," he added as Blue opened his mouth to say more, "you'll meet her soon." Shadow watched as Blue raised his eyebrow, mouth twitching into a mischievous smile.

"'Her?'" said Blue, his voice still just above a whisper. "You mean to tell me in the last week since we last saw you, you got a girlfriend?" Shadow felt his face heat up as he snapped,

"No! She is not my girlfriend! Her name's Shelda, you met her at the Four Sword Shrine dude!" Blue was quiet for a moment, before closing his eye tight, his face scrunching up in pain. Shadow, seeing this, leaned forward a bit as concern laced his voice.

"Ya alright there?" he asked as he watched Blue's hands dug into the ground beneath him, hissing from the pain.

"No, you ass." Moaned Blue as he tried to catch his breath. "You stabbed my eye, remember? It's not really feeling that great right now." Shadow sighed in guilt as he replied,

"Yeah, I know." Right as the words left his mouth, something clicked in Shadow's mind as he whipped his head over to Blue, shock shinning in his eyes.

"Wait," said Shadow, catching Blue's attention. "you remember that?!" Shadow's eyes were semi-wide as Blue let out a sigh, saying in his quiet, pained voice.

"Kinda." He replied, taking his hand and rubbing his good eye. "It's all sort' a hazy, like a dream I guess. But yeah, I remember you standing over me, and then stabbing my eye. Thank you, by the way." Shadow cringed, thinking of how Blue saw it. But, not wanting to pester over him like Shelda does with Shadow, said shadow shrugged as he replied non-casually,

"Eh, it's the lest I could do for ya." Blue snorted in amusement, but Shadow could clearly see his friend struggling at staying conscious. Not wanting to drag his limp body through the dirt, Shadow shifted his position so he was squatting beside Blue.

"Alright," said Shadow as he tucked his right arm under Blue's own arms and back. "we need to get over to the next room, think you can walk? Or do I have 'ta give you a piggyback?" Blue smiled at this as he took his left arm around Shadow's shoulder.

"Heh," he said as he pulled himself up with the help of Shadow, "You wish, shadow boy." Smiling at the name, Shadow helped as Blue stood up as his own feet wobbled at the extra weight put on it. Taking a deep breath, Shadow bit his tongue, trying to prevent himself from making a sound of discomfort.

Keyword- trying.

"…Was that you?" asked Blue not long after Shadow had let out a mixture of a whimper and moan. Shadow was silent as he shifted Blue's weight to a more comfortable way towards his now noticed sore body.

"…" Blue was silent as both he and Shadow tried to hide their real pain as one another slowly made their way across the chamber towards the tunnel. After being in the tunnel for a minute or two, the silence between them was broken.

"Alright." said Blue, almost out of breath. "I need a break." Shadow, feeling like he's going to scream his head off, just nodded before slowly taking them both down to the ground. Without realizing it, Shadow let out a tired sigh of relief from Blue's, and his own, weigh off his now throbbing wounds.

'Damn' thought Shadow as he tried to catch his breath, finding it hard to get oxygen into his lungs. 'I forgot how bad of shape I was in. Heh, well this sucks.' Shadow was so deep in thought, he completely forgot Blue was right there.

"Shadow?" asked Blue, causing Shadow to bolt up, winching in pain from jolting his leg.

"Ok, dude, don't tell me you're not hurting, or I'll punch you as hard as I can." warned Blue as Shadow sunk back into the floor, breathlessly chuckling at Blue's comment.

"Even if you could hit me, it wouldn't be that hard." Shadow could see Blue fume at that, his mouth open, ready to say something, but Shadow beat him to it with a annoyed sigh.

"Yes, I am hurting. Surprised you didn't catch that earlier." Blue, still fuming, said in his cocky voice,

"Yeah, well, maybe I would have, ya'know, if you didn't-"

"Stab you in the eye. I get it. Thanks." interrupted Shadow, not wanting Blue to go on a full blown rant on that. Shadow was clearly not in the mood.

"Pff! Whatever…" Shadow wasn't sure if Blue said something after that or not, he was already starting to shut down, only now realizing how long of a day he's had. Blue, having asked if they were going to move or not, didn't realize his companion had fallen unconscious until he grabbed Shadow's shoulder and turned him enough to see his head. Blue, at first, was shocked at how fast Shadow had shut down, but, after closer inspection, understood. Shadow's face was pale, his clothes (Blue had lifted up the Zora tunic, thinking he could quickly see Shadow's injury(ies)) were blood stained and dirty, and he was still breathing through his mouth in big, gulping breaths. Blue couldn't help but feel sorry for Shadow; the dude has probably been through a lot in the last week or so. Taking Shadow's example, Blue sunk into the wall, as he too fell into a deep sleep, he slowly slid off to the side. Leaning into something softer than the wall was the last thing he distinguished before unconsciousness consume him.

Shelda let out a sigh as she made her way downstream. She had just gotten another mask after an hour of explaining everything to the Zora king. Truthfully, she didn't think it would take that long, but, of course, the king wanted to know everything. Like, every, little, single thing that involved the Links. In her option, it was exhausting. And to top it all off, she still had to walk back to the lake, swim her slow, poorly pace, and then have to help Shadow with Blue. And then will have to find a place to stay. Shelda let out a puff of breath as she stepped onto the shores of the coast. taking a deep breath, Shelda walked into the water, not hesitating as it came past her covered mouth. Not once thinking otherwise, Shelda dove into the water, swimming at her slow, inexperience pace. After what she assumed was another half an hour (maybe more? Who knew?) Shelda finally reached the entrance. Not seeing any Dark Realm goons, Shelda took it as a good sign as she entered the Water Temple. However, Shelda was surprised when she surface to not see anyone in the room. Fearing the worst, Shelda scrambled out of the water, making a beeline for the tunnel. Running through, Shelda didn't register the duo until she passed them did it click. Slowing down, Shelda slowly walked over to the two Links. If she wasn't used to seeing in the dark, Shelda would have thought they were a rock, or worse, dead. But, of course, she could see them clearly, and she could see the gentle rise and fall of their chests. Shelda couldn't help but cross her arms as she smiled at the scene in front of her. Both Shadow and Blue were dead asleep, and were leaning up against one another with their lips slightly parted. Shelda wasn't surprise to hear Shadow snore, she's heard him snore before, but she was a little concern at how his face wasn't fully relaxed, and instead was slightly scrunched in pain that she wouldn't be surprised he was in. Shelda's smile slowly turned into a frown as she watched Shadow silently whimper in his sleep. Feeling sympathy settle in her chest, Shelda couldn't help but approach said shadow. Taking a deep breath, Shelda gently grab Shadow's shoulder, shaking it to rose the boy.

"Shaaaadooooww, come on, wake up you lazy ass. We need to move." After a few moments, Shelda wasn't sure if he was going to wake up, but after a second or two, Shadow grumbled into consciousness, his eyes slowly opening. Shelda, feeling glad he was awake, smiled and said in a joyful, cocky voice;

"There's Mr. Sunshine! Worried you'd sleep for the rest of the day." All she got in response was a quiet hum of acknowledgment as his eyes focused on the purple haired girl drowsily. Shelda couldn't help but chuckle at Shadow's half awake state.

"Hey," she said in a gentle, attention attraction voice when she saw Shadow's eyes start to drop.

"M'rry." Slurred Shadow as his eyes slowly opened again back to their half open position.

"M' tir'd." Shelda smiled faintly as she brushed away the hair in Shadow's face. Seeing the state he was in, Shelda wasn't surprised at him being exhausted. Taking a deep breath, Shelda help shift Shadow into a more comfortable position as she said calmly.

"That's ok. Get some rest. I'll stay on watch while you guys regain your energy. You need it." Shadow was not arguing as he mumbled a quiet 'Mm'k.' before drifting back to sleep, dead to his surrounding as leaned back onto Blue. Shelda chuckled lightly as she settled on the wall opposite from them, watching the two sleep soundly. Glancing at Blue's face, she could see from here the blood slowly sliding down his cheek, indicating her make-shift bandage was soaked. Sighing to herself, Shelda stood up and walked over to her companions, ready to aid to their much needed injuries.

(line break)

"GET HIM! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" Screamed an authority like voice, bouncing off the walls, making it hard for the escaper to focus. Multiple feet ran across the floor as they followed the sound of the pitter patter of paw steps and the clinking of chains. Rounding a corner, the wolf-boy ran as fast as he could down the tunnels, using his new found senses to find his way out.

"CATCH THAT PRISINOR!" screamed the lead guard, making the wolf boy's ears flick in sensitivity.

'I need to escape. NOW!' he thought as he jumped over a guard, hitting the floor running as he speed past others. Fresh air greeted his nostrils as light came from the end of the tunnel. Joy filled his heart as he burst out of the mountain side, feeling the wind blow through his fur. But he didn't stop, the wolf-boy ran as fast and as far away as he could, with only one thought in his mind as he ran towards the Snowy Peaks;

'Yes! YES! Now all I have to do is find, and free the others! Then the Dark Forces will be as good as gone!'

BOOM! How'd you like that!?

Again, I apologize for the delay, but I hope it was worth it! Now… I have a question..

Do you guys have an idea who the wolf-boy is/who he's talking about?

Hint- ask yourself this, How does he know the Dark Forces, unless he has been face-to-face with them before?

Alright! I'm going to leave with that..

TELLER OUT!
