~*~*~Link's Point of View

            We entered the Kokiri Forest.  My eyes were blinded with the color red.  The Kokiri Forest was on fire!  The magic flames blazed even though it was raining.  Then I saw a girl with green hair run up to us.

            "You must get out of here!" she told us.

            "Where's Zelda," I asked her.

            "Follow me, quickly," she said as she ran off.

            We ran through the rain and I felt wet and soaked.  The girl lead us through a long passage way.  We came out into a clearing with a HUGE tree in the middle.  It looked dead and sad at the same time.  In front of the tree stood the man in black with Zelda in his grip.  He was looking right at us.

            Then I saw my mom run toward him and scream, "LET HER GO!!!"  As she ran she took out a small dagger.  The man did not see this, and just stood there, waiting.  For a second I wondered where my mom had gotten the dagger, but my thoughts were interrupted when my mom stopped running, a few feet away from the man, and threw the dagger.  It hit the man's right shoulder and he gave a yell.  Zelda became free and ran over to me.  In her hand was a silver ocarina.

            Then I heard my mom yell.  She fell backwards to the ground.

            I heard a scream issue from my mouth and I ran up to her, "Mom!"

            She opened her eyes just a little, "Link...In the past...I don't think I was...supposed to live... Go back and change it.... I Love you..." she fell silent; I didn't need to look into her eye to tell that she was dead.

            I cried out.  I could feel tears coming down my face.  Then, I felt myself being pulled away from her.  All of a sudden, sword hit the ground where I had just been.  I would have been cut in two if I had not been pulled back.  I looked behind me and saw my friends.  They each gave me a look that said it all...'Be brave and do what's right.'  Then they leaped in front of me and grab the man in black.  They pulled him backwards, away from me.

            I looked back to see that Zelda had put the ocarina up to her mouth.  But then she collapsed, from either exhaustion or she was hurt, I had no time to wonder.  The girl with green hair grabbed the ocarina from Zelda and pushed it into my hands.

            "Play this tune," she said taking out a wooden ocarina.  She played six notes.  "You'll know what to do after that," she said as she ran away.

            I played the six notes on the silver ocarina...

~*~*~Zelda's Point of View

            "Get up, you've slept enough for one day," I heard someone say.

            I opened my eyes, "IMPA!" I yelled.  It had all been a dream!  A horrible nightmare!  I got up and hugged Impa.

            "Where did that come from?" she asked me, "Oh, never mind.  Link's here to see you.  He's waiting in the garden."

            I got up and headed straight for the garden.  When I entered he was looking at the flowers.

            "Why, hello sleeping beauty," he said in a cheery tone.

            "Link," I paused.  I was so glad it had just been a dream.  I thought all had been lost.  I walked up to him and sat down.  "Impa said you wanted to see me."

            "Yeah, I got you something," he said passing me a box.  "I need to get going, I have things to do," he said as he stood up and we looked at each other for a minute, "You can open it you know."

            I looked down at the box.  There was a letter tied to the top.  I opened the letter and read it...

                        Dear Zelda,

                        I know you had a rough night.

                        Impa told me you had some nightmares.

                        I hope you feel all right.

                        I just wanted to tell you that I'm always free to talk to.

                        And if you need anything just ask.

                        Visit me some time...

                        ~Love Link

            I looked up at him and he smiled back.  I looked back down at the box and opened it.  Inside was the Ocarina of Time and a small note.  The note read...

                        'I need to thank you for letting me relive a life with my mother.  You are a good friend.'

            I looked up but Link was gone.  Time is a strange and valuable thing.  Something I don't think anyone will understand...Not even the Hero of Time.

~*~The End

Wow...Is anyone wondering what happened?  Was it REALLY a dream?

Okay, I KNOW the majority of my reviewers wanted another chapter but... *Sigh* I'm NOT going to make one; I think this was a good ending. ^_^; (REVIEW!!! ;p)
