"Wake up. Wake up Leena. We have to get going. Navi says two shady stranger are asking for me." Link said shaking her awake.
Leena yawned taking in her surroundings. They had never left the lake and she was sleeping on the grass.
"...Alright. Let's go. We must go to the ends of Hyrule... where is the farthest place you know?" Leena asked standing up.
"The highest is the Goron City... the farthest is The Desert Temple." Link answered.
"Get us there... play the song!" Leena said.
"I'm sorry, in this world... the song only takes the player. We have to go by foot."
"Very well. I will summon my steed to take you there..." Leena commanded.
"You can't! Epona for you is in another world!" He hissed.
"Epona is dead in my world. The peddler killed her. She is my spectral aid only I can ride her, she must let me take you as well... you know where we go." Leena said in a far superior tone.
"Fine! Summon your steed!" Link glared.
Pulling her Master Sword free she smiled, "Death be no heed! Your Master Shoshea calls you! AWAKE!"
Link was too aghast by the flaming black horse to ask who Shoshea was; it probably was the girl's last name.
"Oh what a fine horse! Yes, you are! You are a pretty horse! Now be a good horsy and take us to the desert planes..." Leena smiled patting the horse, to no pain of burning, as she seated the horse.
"Alright. Take us to the desert planes! Take us to the Temple!" Link smiled taking a seat behind Leena.
The dead horse was like lighting. The grounds of Hyrule seemed to fly by. Jumping the fence was like flying. Link could hardly contain his shock when the horse jumped over the fence and landed across it having made a tree-height jump.
When Epona died he would call her back just to ride her spirit happy. He almost felt sorry that she would have to die to have this power. He wanted to know how to summon Epona from the grave, when she died, from Leena. There is so much she had done that he was sure he had yet to face.

"Why are we stopping here?" He asked when the horse abruptly stopped by a pond.
"Would you rather me die on the trip to the Temple?" Leena hissed then dunked her face into the pond.
Link watched as her body darkened. She stood back up and disrobed in front of him. He sneered, "You Zora's and your lack of clothes."
She frowned, "I have just do something very dangerous, I will need to do this in order to go into the desert."
"You just did what?" Link asked wrapping up her clothes and stuffed them in her bag for her.
"You know Zoras are mostly composed of water... say about... sixty-five percent..." He nodded, "well I've just altered by body to become ninety percent water. If I should feel to take a dive right now... I would dissolve in the water and die. But any less then ninety percent water and I will die in the desert..." She concluded mounting the horse again.
"What do you call this horse?" He said following her example.
"I think I shall name is Black." She smiled.
He just shrugged taking hold of her hips. His finger slipped against her skin and he thought it best to encircle her waist.
"Remove your tunic." She said.
"What for?"
"I removed my clothes so they would not soak up the water... yours will do the same. Remove your tunic." She huffed.
"Why aren't you human now? You're wet aren't you?" He said removing his tunic.
"The Prince... he altered his curse every now and then when it was inconvenient to me." She frowned.
"The Prince cursed you?" Link asked.
"Yes, he did. He was a shallow bossy thing." Leena said glaring.
"I suppose he was if he would curse a friend." He said shrugging.
She felt his body come up against hers and she turned a navy black. "Leena! Are you alright!" He questioned.
"Yes I'm quite alright... this is normal." She lied.
"Alright if you say so." He shrugged as the horse took off again seeming burning the world away.

"Desert Sage Nabooru give me the knowledge on how to get to the Temple!" He asked standing on the rim of the desert.
Link began to walk with Leena following him. "You are friends with Sages? Who are they?"
"You don't have Sages in your world?" Link asked walking on sand stinging his face.
"We do, but they all reside in the Chamber of Sages... they have never come out. Their watch on the Triforce is unwavering." She said trying to pace herself with him.
"The Sages never died in your world? You never chose new ones?" Link asked turning around.
"No... never. They died here? You know the Sages... they were mortal once?" She said putting a wet hand on his shoulder.
He wouldn't admit the need for water he hadn't taken the trip across the desert in so long. "Yes, they were they were good friends of mine, they still are. I visit them whenever I wish."
She gasped, "Wow. That is very usual. Not even the Royal Family in my world speaks to the Sages, they trust no one but themselves."
"It has been a long walk alright, let us camp here..." Link said knowing in truth the trip could be managed in a day but he needed to rest to much.
"Okay. I don't mind." Leena smiled pulling out a giant cloth and began to magic it to stand as a tent.
--
"Aren't you going to lay down... the sand is quite comfortable." Link said softly already falling to sleep.
"I can't." She said still standing.
"Why not?" He asked. He looked at the ground and noticed the sand soaking up her water. "Oh shit. Here... wait a moment." He hissed knowing that if she lost all her water that all hopes for Zelda were lost as well.
The magic shifted the tent. He was leaning against the now straight side nude. "My body won't suck up as much water as sand and clothes... lay in my arms."
"You body won't suck up and ounce... Thank you L-Link this must be a terrible burden on you. I am sorry." She said turning a navy blue again.
"No problem." He said rather dully taking her into his arms. They fell asleep together and Link's last thought was, 'I'm so thirsty.'

That can't be good...
