A quest only begins when there is a hero willing to take it.

Some say that when you are down watch the sunrise. Link sat on his cottage roof, facing east watching the mellow orange sunrise. His eyes were filled with water, and his face was bright red. He couldn't recap on the events from that night. Well it was day, but the sky was so black it was like the night. Links shoulders hung low, and what was left of his tattered green tunic flapped in the soft morning wind. How could Navi turn so evil? Sure she got on his nerves sometimes, but that was out of control.

She was definitely not her usual self. For the brief moment that Link looked in her eyes, he saw a truly demonic being. She had no love, none of the compassion that she had when Link went on to Gannondorf. She said something about selling her soul, so there was someone else involved. Link just say on his terracotta tiled roof, arms wrapped round his hunched knees, crying to himself.

Link felt thing fingers rubbing against his back. Lifting his head up and turning it around he saw an unhooded sheik, gently trying to calm him down. "Shhhhhhhh it's ok. Everything is going to be ok. It wasn't the Navi we knew, that's for sure. We will find the source of the problem. Don't worry." Link's sobs started to grow less in numbers, but he still felt terrible.

"How are the townspeople?" Link asked, as he vaguely recalled running through the town, teary eyed, just hoping to escape reality. Zelda looked at the castle, recalling of the past events. "I wouldn't know. I just teleported here, I came to see you." Link smiled at the thought. "Lucky you came to save us anyway, I doubt I could have handled it. Even with the help of Commerford." Zelda looked worried, and this was not helping to cheer Link up. "What's Commerford doing?" He finally asked, wiping his eyes. "Talking to Malon."

"But how?" Are the townspeople back to normal?" Zelda shook her head whilst adjusting her skin-tight outfit. "It's doubtful, otherwise everyone will be wandering out of the market place looking for some answers." Link stood to his feet and got his hook shot out of his pocket. He shot it at a tree far away. He was about to press the trigger, which would of made him fly forwards, but Zelda stopped him. "Wait!" She cried arm outstretched. Link hesitated for a moment then finally looked at her. "We will get to the bottom of this." She said to him. Link nodded in acknowledgement and waved, as he hit the trigger of his hook shot.

Link ran across the field, looking for Malon's subtle red hair in the mix of all the green grass. Nothing, but he could see Commerford talking to thin air, which seemed slightly odd. Commerford was making weird arm gestures to the empty void that was in front of him. He looked strange without his royal armour. His thin brown hair flopped over his forehead, and his green velvet jacket didn't quite fit his large size. "So you know water magic huh? Wow that's pretty cool. I wish I had that training." Link stood to Commerford's right, wondering what he was doing and when he decided to throw his sanity out the window. "Uh Commerford? Whom are you talking to?" Link asked not sure if he wanted to find out the answer. Commerford pointed his fat index finger in front of him. "Her." Link raised an eyebrow. "Ermmm" A young female voice giggled. "Hi Link!" It said cheerfully, which was unusual after the past events. "Malon?" A young girl appeared in front of Commerford, who didn't look the least bit shocked.

"But how?" Malon stopped giggling and looked out west, away from Hyrule castle. "I have been training with the Zoras. A few of them knew magic and after some trials I was picked to be trained." Link tried to recall his recent visits to the ranch. "Your Dad said you were in castle, working." She laughed to herself. "Yes well that's what I told him." Link put a finger to his chin and scratched it in thought. "So that means that only the people who were in Hyrule were stuck with the curse." Malon's eyes widened. "What curse?" Commerford stepped back in retreat. Link swung his head in his direction. "You didn't tell her?! She thinks everyone is ok?" Commerford went bright red. Link sighed and rested his forehead on his hand cringing to himself. "Guess we'll check it out." He then gave a sharp look to Malon. "It might not be pretty." Malon gulped and walked onward towards the castle.

As the trio walked across the wooden bridge, Link tried to recall what they looked like before. White faces, they looked like they were caught of guard, but they all seemed to have a hint of terror buried in their eyes. He didn't want to face that if he didn't have to. "Guys? I think I will wait here. I've seen it once, never again." Malon rolled her eyes. "Well that's reassuring." Link could not imagine how she could be so happy when she was one of the few people left with freedom. Then again, she had no idea of what was up 30 metres down the stone path. Commerford shrugged and took Malon down the path.

A thud was heard by Link's right ear. He turned right and saw Zelda in Sheik form, standing perfectly poised. "Well hello. Nice of you to drop in." Zelda rolled her eyes at the bad pun and looked down the path. "Are they in there?" Link nodded and took out his hook shot. Zelda gave him a bizarre look. "What? I'm just practising, for the quest and all." Zelda looked shocked. "So you're coming to fight against her?" Link shook his head firmly. "That isn't Navi. I have to find out the real enemy." Zelda looked at him through her mask and was about to say that it was Navi. But she stopped her self, because that may be the only train of thought that will make Link come.

Commerford came running down the path waving his arms in the air. "Master Link! Master Link!" "What? Where's Malon?" Commerford kept running, trying to squeeze the words out of his large mouth. "She's. gone.."
