Link and Navi finally made it to Kakiriko Village. Link slowly rode through the village because it was dark and people were in bed and he didn't want to wake anyone up. He got off Snow when he finally approached the horse stable. "Hey, Link." The worker said. He was a little shorter than Link. He was almost bold headed and was about forty years old. "Hi." Link replied. "Are you here to pick up Epona?" The worker asked. "Epona?" Link asked with a puzzled look. "Yeah. Your wife dropped her off here a couple days ago." The worker explained. "Oh, well I'm not here to get Epona. I'm actually here to drop Snow off." Link said. "Oh okay." The worker said. Link handed the reigns to the worker. Then he walked into the stable to see Epona. He grinned when he saw his horse in one of the stalls. He ran his hand against her neck. "I'll be back very soon, girl. I'll come back with Zelda and Tilkate." He said softly. He gently patted her and walked out of the stable.

"Oh, how sweet, the horse and the boy reunited." Abesh laughed. She sat back on her throne and crossed her legs. "Maybe I should plant my little seeds on Death Mountain right now." She said to herself. She held her hand out and ten little balls of light flew away. "Delay the Hero of Time from getting here, but do not kill him."

"Can you open this gate please?" Link asked the guard standing in front of the gate that led to Death Mountain trail. "Yes, sir." The guard said. Link was glad he didn't need Zelda's letter anymore to go to Death Mountain. He was a friend of the guard's, plus he was crowned king of Hyrule so he had to let Link come and go as much as he wanted. The guard felt a bit foolish when he found out that Link had saved Hyrule. He had teased him when he walked up to him that day nine years ago with Zelda's letter. "Hey, Link." The guard said as Link walked pass him. "Yeah?" Link asked. "Princess Zelda has been up there for a while. Is she alright?" The guard asked. "Yeah, she's just visiting the Gorons." Link lied. "Okay." The guard replied.

Link sighed as he continued his way. He had to lie a lot when it came to questions about Zelda. He didn't like lying one bit, but he didn't want to tell them what had happened to Zelda because he knew that the guards would go looking for her and die. They were no match for Abesh. The king and Impa were the only ones who knew about the letter Abesh had sent. Zelda….what was happening to her? Was she being abused like he was when he was prisoner? He knew he had to hurry. He had to save her. If she died, so would he. He couldn't bare living without his wife.

"Link, I'm sure she's alright." Navi said. She could sense her friend was upset. "I'm so scared, Navi. I can't lose her." He replied. She didn't know what to say. He was always so brave and it was very rare if he was scared. And if he was ever scared, it was for a good reason. "Link, wait!" She said suddenly. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I-I feel something very evil. It's coming from…..behind!" She exclaimed.

Link quickly turned around and drew his sword only to find himself being paralyzed by a ReDead. He tried to reach his Ocarina that he kept in his belt, but he couldn't move. Navi began flying around the monster's face trying to distract it, but it wouldn't work. Finally the ReDead broke its gaze and Link quickly ran. He fell down when something came up from the ground. It was another ReDead. He kicked the ReDead before it could look at Link. The creature fell down and Link quickly pulled out his Ocarina and played "Sun's Song" The song that he had learned in the Royal Family's Tomb. This song could turn light into dark and dark into light and it could also turn the walking dead into statues.

After he turned the two ReDeads into statues, he quickly attacked them with his sword. While he was killing the second ReDead, another came up from the ground and stood in between Link and he fellow ReDead. Link held his sword high and was ready to strike the monster, but it paralyzed him, too. "Curse these ReDeads!" Navi yelled.

The ReDead broke its gaze and died when Link's sword came down on top of him. "Come on, Navi." He yelled. He ran as fast as he could up the trail. He looked behind him and saw seven ReDeads slowly following behind. "I hope some Gorons are still awake." He thought. The ReDeads could not hurt a Goron, but the Gorons sure could hurt them. "Link!" Link yelled when he saw his Goron friend standing outside. "Hey Link!" (A/N: Hi sorry to interrupt, but since we have two Links in the same paragraph, how about I call Darunia's son, Link, Goron Link? End A/N) Goron Link called back. "ReDeads!" Link yelled. "ReDeads?!" Goron Link replied. "Hold on." He ran into Goron city. After a couple minutes he came back out with a few more Gorons. "Where, Link?" Goron Link asked. "They're coming up the trail." Link answered. "Okay, ready?" Goron Link asked looking at his Goron friends. The Gorons nodded and rolled up into a ball. Link got out of the way as the Gorons rolled down the trail. Link watched from on top of the trail as the Gorons plowed through the ReDeads.

Finally all the ReDeads were gone. The Gorons rolled back up the hill. "There you go, Link. They're all gone." Goron Link said with a smile. "Thank you." Link replied. "Hey, it's the least I can do considering how many times you've helped us." Goron Link said.



"Curse those blasted Gorons!" Abesh yelled slamming her fist onto a table. She stormed out of her throne room and into the dungeon. "What is with your husband?!" She yelled as she stormed into the dungeon. "Link loves Zelda and he'll never give up and you'll never win!" Tilkate exclaimed. Abesh's eyes flared with anger. She reached her hand through the bars and grabbed Tilkate's neck. "If you don't shut up, I'll strangle you right here! The only reason you two are still alive is because I need you two as bait!" Abesh said with fierce anger in her voice. Tilkate gasped for breath when Abesh finally let go. "Is Link still alive?" Zelda asked. "Yes, I'm not planning on killing him…yet!" Abesh said. Zelda sat back and sighed for relief. "Don't get used to it, Princess. Soon you'll all be dead." Abesh said. She grinned evilly and walked out of the dungeon.
