Author's Note: I don't own Subrosia.

Link was very aggravated. He knew he shouldn't have brought that girl along. She had wanted to go to the shop. If that hadn't happened, then Link wouldn't have had his spirit taken away. If that hadn't happened, then Lyndsey wouldn't have had hers taken away. Then he wouldn't have had to threaten Melinda to give it back. And she wouldn't have refused. And Link had known that if he killed Melinda, then Lyndsey may never wake up. So that's why Link was on his way to find the second Essence. Lyndsey had woken him up with the first Essence, so why couldn't he wake her up with the second Essence? He had taken the first Essence with him so Melinda wouldn't steal it while he was away. He also took the key that opened all of the dungeons, so that he could enter the second dungeon.

The only problem was, where was the second dungeon? How did Lyndsey find the first dungeon? After thinking awhile, Link decided to ask the Maku Tree.

As usually, he was asleep. Link went up to it and swiped the Maku Tree's nose with his sword.

"Oww! Who dares to interrupt my sleep? Oh, it's you, Link."

"Where is the second dungeon?" Link asked seriously.

"It's in Subrosia *yawn*…ask the sleeping man *snore*…on the east of Horon Village *snore*…"

  Darn Maku Tree! Link thought. Can't keep his eyes open for a fraction of a second! How come he's always asleep? Is he nocturnal or something?

At least I have the directions to the next dungeon, thought Link optimistically. I can wake up Lyndsey and send her home once I get the next dungeon.

Link walked along the path, kicking small stones as he walked. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was missing Lyndsey's company, and thinking of this, he walked faster.

At last he came to a hedge, with two trees as gates. But when Link leaned forward and touched them, trying to climb them, he received an unpleasant surprise.

"OWW!" he yelled, when the tree on the left shocked him. An old man who was sleeping near by woke up. "Hallo er sonny!" he cackled.

"Who are you?" Link asked.

"Ne'er mind 'bout that now. I'm guard gatekeeper. I protect the place beyond these two trees here." He waved his hand at the trees. "I'm sound sleeper, you'd know? Trees shock trespasser, wake me up! Hee hee!"

"I heard from the Maku Tree that Subrosia was here…I guess he was wrong." Link mumbled, but not to softly so that the old man wouldn't hear it.

"*Gasp* Subrosia? Why do you want to go there?"

"Because I need to find the second dungeon." Link shrugged.

"Why would you need to go to Subrosia to do that?"

"I don't know! The Maku Tree told me to!"

"Al la righty, sonny. I b'lieve ya. T'ke this here packet of seeds. T'ke out some of the red ones, they're the fire ones, and put them on those there two treeses." Link took the sachet of seeds and did what the man told him to do. Sure enough, they were fire seeds. The trees went up in flames, and in seconds, there was a place for Link to walk through.

"Bye sonny!…" the old man said as the trees started to grow back. "Goody lucken to a you…"

Surprisingly, I have nothing to say after this chapter except that I hoped you understood it. The old man obviously didn't go to school when he was young, and as punishment he spoke terrible English that even Link could barely understand. I changed the words around a little so that the reader wouldn't be as confused as I was when I first heard this tragic tale (actually, it isn't very tragic but oh well.).
