Zelda
"Do not worry Princess... I think I can make the trip as a human as well. I shall try. You will not be harmed." Leena said removing all of her clothes.
Link still looked over the girl in disbelief. She was a Zora all right! Her sleek curves and seemingly boneless body was fishlike. He looked at her thick fins and her head. That was her one difference, where Ruto had a bulbous head Leena had a normal Hyrulian head with waterlike tendrils of hair.
Zelda looked at Link with worry, "What if you don't survive?"
Link laughed, "I'll be fine, I always am. Just think of me in your dreams. Now come and give me a kiss before you have to go."
Leena watched quietly as Link and Zelda exchanged a loving kiss.
'How many has he loved? When I looked into his heart I saw no less then three... they were like a goddess, a fish, and a plant. So many more people he loves; a rock, a desert creature, holy deities, element creatures, and a young rancher child.' Leena sighed to her self remember her beloved King who was so clueless as to her desires.
*"Leena, you are my childhood friend. Why do you leave me now?" The Prince asked softly to her as they lay in the courtyard.
"I leave because the fairies call me. They come to me in my dreams and beg me to come to the forest, the mountains, the sea my home, and everywhere else! There are so many places they call me to! They will not leave me alone until I go. Please forgive me." Leena plead.
"Fine," the Prince said clearly upset, "to make sure you're not lying! Only in my presence will you be what you really are!"
Leena gasped as she felt the magic take her over and rip her apart. She scrambled to the water to see her human self. "NO! What have you done! What have you done! I can not go back to my people like this!"
The Prince smiled, "This way I know you'll always come back to me! It's so lonely being the Prince; you are the only peasant that comes to the castle. I made sure you would always return."
"You bastard!" Leena hissed and she jumped up to the wall and scrambled effortlessly over the top. *
"I'm ready to go." Zelda said.
"Yes Princess. Just close your eyes." Leena commanded.
Link watched as Zelda instantly toppled over into Leena's arms. "I'll be back soon." Leena said over her shoulder.
Link couldn't believe the sight. Leena walked quickly into the water. He watched her skin pale and her hair harden. Her fins began to dissolve. She walked faster and was soon underwater by the Water Temple.
'Ruto... where is this Temple of Ice?' Link asked.
'I- I have never heard of this Temple of Ice... It might not exist in our world.' Ruto countered.
'Thank you. I'll wait for her now. Any change in Saria?' He questioned.
'No, but she calls out in her sleep for you and Zelda.'
'Continue to watch her darling.'
'Certainly love.'

'Damn you King! Now I have to hold my breath like you damned Hyruleas! This is not fair... I should be able to breathe freely underwater. I will scold you for this when I return.' Leena thought trying to get the bottom of the lake quick. She was the door to the Temple of Water.
'A little to the right and to the heart of the Water Temple.' Leena mentally directed herself.
Zelda stayed in a dead-like state and silent in her arms.
She felt the shift occurred and her body locked up in shock. With force she got her body moving again in the icy cavern.
'I'm going to die down here if I don't hurry up.' She thought all ready feeling her skin dry up and her aquatic form come back.
'I'm dehydrated enough in normal air... I'll fall to pieces in here.' Leena said urging herself of on.
*"Please Prince! Please! I need to be a Zora among my people to please the fairies!" Leena begged.
"Alright! SHUT UP! I'll alter the spell. You can be a Zora away from me. But the moment you get wet you become human." He said touching her shoulder softly.
"I hate you so Prince." She muttered.
"I'm sorry to hear you say that. Go now, please those fairies." The Prince smiled weakly. *
"I'm doing my job. That's what you wanted. This is all for you King." Leena said laying Zelda out on the ice altar and giving her a kiss of magic.
"Stay like this in sleep... till I return or one of my kind sets you free... Good-bye Princess Zelda." Leena said feeling the pang of remember the King.
*"Leena... I am so cold. Please... don't do this! I can take care of myself." The King protested.
"I'm sorry Prince. I am so sorry, but I can't risk it. I won't have you die because I could not be here to protect you." Leena said kneeling by the nervous King.
"Leena... Please... before you go. Kiss me please. Leena please kiss me." The King said a single tear rolling down his pale face.
"Stay like this in sleep... till I return or one of my kind sets you free..." Leena said leaning in.
"No! Leena please I want to remember it." He whimpering as her spelled lips touched his.
She watched him loose strength, close his sweet blue eyes, and fall to the altar.
She ran her soft Zora hands that were slowly hardening to ice over his delicate face. She started to cry her face paling to her human blue tinted skin under her tears. "King... I am sorry I will return."
She leaned down and kissed his lips softly this time, no magic, no sleep, just love.
She pulled her royal court ring of and placed it in his firm cold hand.
"I'm sorry, I will return King Link. I swear not even death will keep you from me." *
