Kyrie poked her head out from behind a column and looked for Link.
"Ah!" She let out a little exclamation of triumph as she spotted him with Zelda. "Li-ink!" He turned around as she trotted over to him. "What should we do now? I'm all dressed. Can we look around Hyrule?" She quickly added, "I promise not to try to jump into da lake!" Zelda giggled.
"He was just telling me about how you were dragging him around. If you'd like, I could give you a tour of the castle after you eat and then you can head out if you wish," Zelda said. There's really nothing we can do about the missing ocarina right now... She added silently.
"Oh yeah, eats! Almost forgot. 'Kay, that sounds cool."
"Fine by me," Link agreed.

After a breakfast of pancakes, fruit, and tea, and after Kyrie had recovered enough from the rich dose of Hylian food to move, they walked off down the corridors. Led by Zelda, Kyrie looked in awe at the castle. It was much cooler on the inside than she thought it'd be. Zelda pointed out each painted portrait in the halls and explained who they were, be they kings, queens, princes, princesses, or subjects. Kyrie was impressed by the exquisite detail.
"And here," Zelda said, "is the first ruler of Hyrule." Kyrie looked at where Zelda was pointing, and a chill ran up her spine. The woman pictured had short black hair, streaked with stark white. Her eyes were light blue, and her complexion was fair. She wore chainmail, leather, and held a sword and helmet in her hands.
"Her name is Queen Orlantha serErondhyl. SerErondhyl comes from the old language. It means the Settler of Hyrule. She traveled to this land after the Goddesses created it, and united the nomads living here, creating the kingdom of Hyrule. I am a descendant from her, on my father's side."
There was something about Orlantha that Kyrie just couldn't place... She mentally shook her head. It was probably nothing. "That sword," she asked. "Is it..." Zelda nodded.
"The Master Sword. She forged it herself, and the goddesses blessed it."

Link noticed that Kyrie seemed slightly shaken by the portrait, but he blinked and she was casual enough again, so he decided not to mention anything. The rest of the tour passed quickly, and they ended in a room with very little décor; nought was there save for a tapestry with a triforce emblem spun in gold thread, with the bird and upside down triangle. There was also a pedestal, upon which was a scarlet pillow in a glass case. Zelda's face fell slightly, and she said quietly, "This is where the Ocarina was. Absolutely no one can enter this room without the assistance of a member of the royal family. It's just impossible."
Link stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry," he assured her. "We'll find it."
"I hope so," The princess said. Hoping to lighten the mood, Kyrie said, "Well, that's enough of that, we know we'll find it! I have a feeling we will, and soon. Meanwhile, let's go check out the rest of Hyrule, please???" She succeeded, and Zelda smiled.
"You're right. You two go on. I'll see if I can dream up anything while you're out."

Kyrie stretched as they left the castle gates. She and Link had left under an hour after Zelda had suggested. She looked at Link.
"Where to first?"
"How about we check out Hyrule Field a while. We can visit Kokiri Forest next, then the Zoras' place, and then whatever you'd like until it gets too dark."
"Sounds cools," Kyrie said. "Can we go check out the Lost Woods and Forest Temple? And Lake Hylia?"
"Sure," Link said. "As long as you promise not to jump into the water!"
"Can do! Hey, will we ride Epona? Um. Where'd she go?"
"Oh, yeah we can ride her. She's probably off grazing." He looked around, and spotted the 4 year-old horse some distance away. "Ah, there she is. She's close enough to call without using the ocarina." He whistled Epona's song, and she galloped toward them as she heard. "Since we're just going to check out the Field first, we can walk for a while, ok?"
"Fine by me." The pair walked off, with Epona close behind, and chatted. Eventually they came to a clump of bushes. Hmm...Kyrie thought. I wonder...
"Link?" she said. "Are there goodies under the plants?" she asked, curious.
"Well yes, there's some, sometimes." Kyrie rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
"Peeeachy… May I please borrow your sword?" Link pulled it out of its scabbard and handed it to her. She hefted with only a small "umph" and swiped at the plants. The leaves settled, and something sparkled underneath them.
"HEL-lo!" She peered down at the sparkles, which upon closer inspection proved to be several green gems, and one blue gem.
"HOT D**N! RUPEES! MONEY FOR FREE!" She quickly gathered them up, and looking into her eyes, one could swear dollar signs appeared in them. She "umphed" the sword up again and hacked at more plants. Link sweatdropped, and began to get worried as she ran to another patch of plants.
"Um, Kyrie?" She was oblivious to him, and continued gathering all the rupees within a one mile radius of where Link was still standing with Epona. The Hero of Time's long ears could just barely detect far off cries of "YES!" and "SWEET!!!!!" as the younger girl collected money. She finally returned, breathless with an armful of rupees. She had a grin so big that she bore a striking resemblance to the Cheshire Cat.
"Let's go shopping, Link!" she gasped.
"Ah, Kyrie? Have you got anywhere to put all that money?" he asked.
"Nah, but that's no problem! I'll just buy a wallet first!" Link shook his head.
"Never mind. You can keep the rupees in my money bag for now. We can go shopping now, unless you would rather keep looking around Hyrule first." Kyrie looked thoughtful. She looked at the sun.
"Weeeeeeell… I guess we have enough time to see Kokiri Forest and the Zoras' Domain first. Then to the market!" Linked sighed, and pocketed the money. This was going to be a long afternoon.

Kokiri Forest had taken longer than they expected, as they had chatted with Saria quite a bit, and also Mido and other Kokiris. They didn't even have enough time to get all the way through the Lost Woods, before they had to head back to Hyrule Market. Link had enjoyed looking around with Kyrie, though. Everything just seemed a lot more interesting with her around, always wondering what this was and who that was, and where Link's house was. She was very… lively, you could say, Link thought, but she was fun to be around. She helped to take his mind off the stress of the missing Ocarina. He called to her and told her they had to leave.
"Just a second!" she turned back to the faeries she had been chatting with. At first they had absolutely fascinated her, and now they were like regular people to her, just small, and glowing, and flying. And they were all so pretty when she got up close enough to see their features through the light. "Gotta go, now, bye!" she said to Nova and Nell, the faeries. They squeaked their goodbyes, and whizzed off toward their Kokiri partners. "Ready ta go!" she said. And bounded toward Link. They mounted Epona together, and trotted off toward the castle again.

They only had about an hour to shop around the market, as Kyrie had insisted on chopping every plant in sight for money. She saw the Happy Mask Shop, and practically drooled in anticipation. She ran toward it, pulling Link behind her.
"I guess we'll start here," Link wisely observed. Kyrie turned the doorknob, and they walked in.

In a dark room, a whispery, seductive voice spoke.
"Lorem, ipsum, dolor, sit amet." A shimmering globe of some jelly-like substance materialized from the gloom. The speaker looked at the image in it, and smiled, almost sweetly.
"Ursa serFarin. Eliminate the rival."
In the old Hylian tongue, Farin is a term used for an assassin whose primary weapon is the bow.
