Zelda
Leena appeared from the water shaking as she fell over onto the bank. "Leena! How is Zelda... did you make it?"
Leena shivered a yes. "Where is the Chamber! It exists here? Where is it!" Link asked shaking her.
"I can not tell you... I can not... the Shadow will know if I tell you." Leena stuttered.
Link growled, "Fine. Come on you looked half frozen to death."
"I am..." Leena uttered falling asleep.
"No... no! WAKE UP!" Link cried knowing if he didn't act soon she would be dead and he would never be able to find Zelda again.
"Link! Link! Fire! Make her a fire!" Navi squeaked.
"Yes! Fire!" Link said coming back to his senses.

*"King forgive me for the intrusion. I must speak with you." Leena said kneeling before the handsome black haired King.
"Nonsense... Anything you can say you may say to my Son and I." The King smiled.
Leena did not looked at Princess Link or even show she knew he was there, "You're majesty, I have a fear, from what the fairies tell me, that the prophecy will come true."
"The prophecy? Nonsense! We have looked all hearts here! None is lonely. Only one is evil and not strong enough." The King huffed.
"Have you checked every heart! Every single heart? I do not mean to sound rebellious but it must be done!" Leena protested.
"Very well. Summon all in the castle, they are the one left to be check. Summon the heart holders as well." The King said.
"Do you think it wise father?" The Prince asked stepping up.
"I do not but we will not know without them they. Their like power draws the to the finally remaining heart." The King said looking back to Leena. "What do you suggest Heroine Leena?"
"I suggest we leave the Royal and even yourself fair from the proceedings sir. I can handle it myself."
The Prince wanted to speak up but was silenced by the King. "If you wish it, then so be it."

"No one, not one of them is the Lonely Heart..." Leena huffed as she herded the three Heart carriers on.
"Perhaps you should check the Royal Family Princess." The red haired peddler grinned.
"You are a fool if you think the Royal family is anyone to be taken by the Hearts!" She hissed.
"Can you be so sure. Would you stake your life on it now lovely one?" The peddler grinned.
"Yes, I would. I fact to prove you wrong I will go to them now! I will prove it to you!" She glared.
"Very well. Off with you now young dear." The peddler smiled patting her shoulder.
The peddle wander off with a young child, holder of the good heart, but the most lovely stayed to speak with Leena.
"Do not touch the Prince. I beg you. Do not touch him!" She frowned.
"Certainly. You are a wise one Miss Kura, I will not touch the Prince." Leena smiled as she turned to greet the family.
--
"King... none were of the last heart. What should I do! Give me council." Leena sighed to the King.
"We are your council young one." The Queen sauntered in. She was but of the age of thirty-five. Having given birth to the Prince at the unusual of sixteen.
"Certainly your Majesties. I would make but one request." Leena said eyeing the Prince behind his mother.
"What young one?" She smiled.
"That the Prince not attend. I must speak with you both alone." Leena said.
"But I must here what she has to say I am the Prince!" the Prince hissed.
The queen frowned, "Son, Please there must be a reason."
"NO! She hates me! She has always hated me! She played me as a friend to please you! She hates me! She hates me!" The Prince cried running to her and grasping her hard by her shoulders.
He shook her violently making her sick to her gills. The King came between them knocking the Prince to the floor and pulling the Master Sword of Leena's back.
"Say good-bye to your King!" The King laughed and brought the sword to his throat.
"FATHER!" The Prince shouted. It was too late.
The King slit his throat and died. In his place stood a white shadow, "Oh thank you. Thank you oh wonderful Leena. You have freed me. I owe you my life! I would have you as my Queen! We will rule Hyrulea together!"
"No! I can not! I protect Hyrulea." Leena said taking her sword and backing away.
"Very well. You have forfeited by debt to you. You shall die like the Queen will and soon the Prince. I will have them all!" The Shadow smiled.
"NO! NO! RUN PRINCE! RUN QUEEN!" Leena commanded.
The Prince scrambled to his feet and ran. "I will not abandon my throne! Hyrulea needs me." The Queen said softly.
"My council, Ladies say hello to the new Council of Hyrulea." The Shadow smiled. The peddler, the child, and the woman walked into the throne room.
"Where is your forth oh Great Shadow!" The Queen mocked.
The Shadow smirked, "The forth refused me and I will have it dead. Say good-bye to the Queen." The Shadow said turning to Leena.
Leena could not stop them. The council grasped the Queen and the Shadow reached into her chest and crushed her heart.
The Queen's dead body dropped to the floor and the council began to reach to Leena.
"I will stop you!" She hissed jumping out of the Throne room window. *
"I will stop you!" Leena cried out reaching for air.
"Stop who..." Link said hunched over a stone eating dead night creature.
"I hate to remember. I hate to know I was the one that brought this all about. I don't know how I did it but I know it was me." Leena said clutching her dry tunic to her body.
"Oh don't worry. Heroes seem to do that all the time. I was the one who almost brought the downfall of Hyrule for eternity last time when I opened the door." Link said trying to con her into telling him where the door to the Temple of Ice was.
"Oh... well. I am sorry for what I did. I will save the King when I return." Leena sighed.
Link gave up, the girl looked so sad for what she did. He didn't want to bother her with his desires at the moment.
