Princess Zelda sat in her cell crying. She hadn't seen Link in so long. She
missed his so much. What made things worse is that Abesh cursed him and
made him into a child again. She didn't know whether or not he could use
his Triforce to turn him back or if there was some kind of medicine he had
to go after. All of the questions drove her insane. She needed answers.
Unfortunately, there was no way of getting them. She wished she could get
out, but she was in a cell with no door and the only opening was way above
her were she couldn't reach. Her Triforce was still blocked by Abesh's
curse. "Please be alright, Link." She whispered.
"Oh please, you're making me sick!" Came a voice above. Zelda looked up to see Abesh. "What do you want?" Zelda snapped. "Just to tell you that your dumb husband broke my curse! He's on his way here, but once he gets here, he'll die! I'll make sure of that!" Abesh yelled and walked away. Zelda sighed for relief. Link had been turned back into his normal form, but she knew that Abesh was planning something. What? She needed to know. She needed to escape. She sat up and walked over to a wall. "I got to try." She thought. She held her hands out. She was trying to destroy the wall with her Triforce power. She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could. "Curse Abesh!" She exclaimed when she couldn't get so much as the tip of her finger to glow. She slammed her fist against the wall and grunted in pain. She had sprained her wrist. "That's just great!" She sighed. She sat back down and rubbed her wrist. "There's got to be a way to get out." She thought.
Meanwhile, Link and Tilkate stopped to get their horses from the stable at Kakariko Village. Tilkate was riding on Zelda's horse, Snow and Link was on his horse, Epona. They had been riding for hours to Gerudo Valley. It took so long to get there from Kakariko. What made it harder was that it was dark. The moonlight shined down on the wet grass in Hyrule Field. The ground glistened like glitter in sun light. Tilkate looked up at the moon. It was so big and so bright. She remembered the nights in Gerudo Valley. She would climb on top of the fortress and lay down, looking at the moon. Wishing she could escape from her life, being forced to be a warrior when she wanted to be a lady. Ian was her rescuer, but he was murdered. Then Link and Zelda came along and got her away from her miserable life being forced to work for King Keel. She looked back at the road and concentrated on trying to stay awake. Link was riding beside her. He looked over at her and noticed her eyes begin to grow heavy. "Tilkate, are you okay?" He asked. "I'm very tired." She said. "Okay, when we see a house or town, we'll stop." He said.
They traveled a couple more hours until they found a house. They dismounted their horses and walked up to the door. They could still see light through the windows, which meant whoever lived here must have still been awake. Link gently hit the door with his fist. "I'm coming!" A voice called. The door flew open. "Hello. Can I help you?" The man asked. He was about forty- five years, he had very thin hair gray hair. His eyes were dark green. "Yes, My friend and I was wondering if we could stay here tonight. I'll pay you. Name your price." Link asked. "Sure, but let me make sure it's alright with my wife." The man said. "Okay." Link replied. "Lidea!" The man called. "Yes, Noen." The woman said. She was the same height as Zelda. Her hair was brown and she had brown eyes. She was about forty years old. "This man and his friend wants to stay the night. Would it be alright with you?" He asked. "Noen, don't you recognize him?! He's Link! The Hero of Time. If it weren't for him, Ganondorf would be ruling Hyrule. Of course he can stay." The women answered with a bright smile. "Thank you. I promise I'll pay you anything." Link said. "No, no, no. You've already paid well enough. I would never ask anything from you." The woman replied. "Thank you. Well I'm Link and this is my friend, Tilkate." He said. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Lidea and this is my husband, Noen and, oh hold on just a second. Han! Han, come here." Lidea called. "Yes, Mom?" A man's voice asked as he walked into the room. Tilkate's mouth dropped when she saw the man. He was a little taller than Link. He had short dark brown hair and brown eyes. He looked like he was twenty years old. Just a couple years older than Tilkate. She was amazed by his handsome looks. "Han, this is the legendary hero, Link and his friend Tilkate." Lidea said. Han shook Link and Tilkate's hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Han. I'm their son." Han said. "Nice to meet you, Han." Link said.
Thirty minutes later, Lidea made Link and Tilkate a nice hot meal. Since Navi was a fairy, she didn't eat. She just rested on Link's shoulder. "Is that a real fairy?" Han asked when he first saw her. Lidea walked into the dining room. When they were finished eating. "I hoped you enjoyed your meal." She said. "Yes we did. Thank you very much." Link replied. "It would make me feel better if you would let me wash the dishes at least." Tilkate said. "You look exhausted, dear. Why don't you go on to sleep." Lidea suggested. "I still have enough energy to help out." Tilkate insisted. "Oh alright, but I'm helping you." Lidea finally gave in. Then the two women went off into the kitchen.
Link walked into the guest room and found Han waiting there. "Hey, Han." Link greeted. "Hey." Han greeted back. Link sat down on a chair. "I have something to ask you." Han said. "What?" Link asked. "You're the leader of the Hylian army, right?" Han asked. "Yes." Link answered. "Well, I've been wanting to join for some time now. I've been practicing very hard. Put me through any test, I'll be glad to do them." Han said. "Yes, you do need to be tested, but I'm afraid I'm on a very important mission and it will have to wait a little while." Link explained. "What kind of mission?" Han asked. "My wife, Princess Zelda, has been captured by Ganondorf's daughter." Link answered. "Please let me come. I'll help. Think of it as a test." Han pleaded. "You'll be killed. Abesh is very powerful." Link said. "Sir, if I join the Hylian army, I have to protect our Princess don't I?" Han asked. Link grinned and sighed. "Alright. We could use some extra help." Link said. "Thank you, sir!" Han said with a bright smile. "Please, call me Link." Link replied. "Okay, Link!" Han said, still very excited. "You better tell your parents." Link suggested. "Oh I will!" Han said and ran out of the room. Link shook his head and laughed to himself.
"Oh please, you're making me sick!" Came a voice above. Zelda looked up to see Abesh. "What do you want?" Zelda snapped. "Just to tell you that your dumb husband broke my curse! He's on his way here, but once he gets here, he'll die! I'll make sure of that!" Abesh yelled and walked away. Zelda sighed for relief.

She thought. She held her hands out. She was trying to destroy the wall with her Triforce power. She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could. "Curse Abesh!" She exclaimed when she couldn't get so much as the tip of her finger to glow. She slammed her fist against the wall and grunted in pain. She had sprained her wrist. "That's just great!" She sighed. She sat back down and rubbed her wrist. "There's got to be a way to get out." She thought.
