Leena woke up strangely before the crack of dawn. The sand was still raging outside. She looked at Link and his white lips. His skin was dry against her skin. She almost turned complete black as she concentrated her body fluids to her mouth. She put her hands onto Link's lips and forced his mouth open.
He gave a soft groan as the water revived his thirst and he continued to drink from her mouth.
*"Leena... I'm sixteen today... I wanted to know what you got me." The Prince grinned.
"I'm sorry your Majesty I have been on my adventure so long I lost track of time. I wish I had remembered." She frowned.
"Oh that's quite alright I'll forgive you if you kiss me." The Prince laughed.
Leena turned a deep ocean blue. "Oh you Zoras blush so beautifully." The Prince said taking hold of her chin.
"I am sorry about your gift but if it is a kiss you want... I can not turn you down." She said her face growing an even darker shade of blue.
The Prince leaned in to kiss her only to find his mouth filled with sweet tasting water. He coughed spitting her water all over her. "What was that!" The Prince hissed.
Leena started to cry, "I'm sorry Prince you asked for asked kiss... I did not know kissing me was that vile. I shall never do it again."
"What! I don't understand! You tried to drown me!" The Prince shouted.
"Son! Stop it! You are being rude to Leena!" His mother said.
"But she tried to drown me!" The Prince cried out.
"SON! If you listened when your father talked about the Zora people you would know that is their way of kissing." The Queen said eyeing Leena coolly.
"You were listening Mother?" The Prince said blushing now.
"Yes, I'm afraid I no longer want you speaking to Leena, you are distracting her from her quests. Leena if you need to return here... come when it is convenient to you!" The Queen said dragging her off. *
"Leena..." Link rasped, "what was that sweet water?"
Leena looked away from the weak Link. "It was nothing. You needed water, I gave it to you. I don't have much left... you needed so much. We need to get to the temple..."
"Uh! Yes! Here stand up. Can you do that?" Link asked holding her.
"No... I can't. I'm sorry... I'm just so still right now..." She admitted.
Link frowned, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have stopped I'll be right back... you must stay here! STAY HERE." He stressed laying her down on her clothes.
She watched him dash out of the tent fully dressed for battle. She stopped watching the tent flap after a while, she didn't know how long. Then she gave up and watched the ceiling.
"King... if you are out there... listen to me. I don't think I'll make it. The adventures have been getting harder and harder... I don't think I'll finish this one, I'm sure Link can though. He hasn't had as much damage and curse and murders on his hands as I.
"He is strong enough and I'm sure he will save you. I promise I will return... but I'm afraid I can not return as a hero... I'll come back as a failure. Just like you once were. You were the failure turned Hero... I am the Hero turned failure. You don't miss me do you? I never told you but I do love you.
"I wish I were your love. I know about Carloin, Harquin, and even Kura. Yes I knew about Kura... I didn't mind because I could never have you. I gave up my position at the Zora council when the fairies called me. I gave up my chance of being Princess... I gave it all up to protect you and your future Kingdom.
"Did you even know that? The fairies called and called, but when I refused to answer they said they would find someone else... I knew if I said no and told you you would laugh, you would call me weak and useless... I couldn't say no if it meant you'd hate me or laugh at me.
"I am so sorry King. I am so sorry you lay in sleep in the Temple of Ice. I am sorry I am here dying. I am sorry I gave my life to Link so that he may live and he doesn't even know enough to save our Kingdom... your Kingdom.
"I am sorry I couldn't say Epon from the peddler. I'm sorry that I'll never see her again. I am so sorry King! Forgive me! Please forgive me! Please! Please forgive me! Please! Please forgive me! Please!"
She became delious and continued to chant 'Please forgive me! Please!' hoping that he would hear her.
"Leena. Leena I forgive you. Whatever you did I forgive you... now sit still." Link said pulling out three bottles.
Popping open the first a mini-fairy flew out to aid the most helpless or near death at the time. It flew directly to Leena. She felt so much better as the fairy restored her life.
He opened the second bottle and poured the bottle of water down her throat. She groaned, it wasn't enough to get her to the other side of the desert safely, but she might make it.
Lastly he pulled out a fished and killed it. "I don't know if you like this kind of fish, but I thought this better then anything. Here... eat."
She eat the fish raw and slowly. It was okay, not as good at the silver stone fish at her lake but okay. "Here's the water it was in. I think this will help a bit more." He said handing her the half-full bottle.
She drank the water slowly letting it form into her system.
"What did you give me... I felt to high, refreshed, like nothing could stop me..." Link asked sitting down.
"I... With as much I gave you... the Zoras would call it sex. In my world it is a custom to give yourself to your mate and they will do the same. To a human what I gave you would be... my life force... my body... my essence." Leena said to shaken to blush.
"Oh, well. Thank you. It saved me. I brought water for us bother to spare this time. Let me know when you are ready to go on." Link said laying back.
She watched him fall asleep again. 'He shouldn't be the least be tired. He should-' Her thought stopped as she suddenly had the urge to look into his heart.
She looked at it and there she found what she did not what to see. "My pretty... I come for you... I have come to kill you. You will not get away this time! There is no Hyrule to save you when I make you fall forever again!" The Shadow laughed at her.
She looked away from Link's sleeping body and gathered her things quietly. She dashed out praying to whatever sages lived in this world to get safely to the Temple. To the fairies to make a wish.
"Follow me Leena Heroine of Hyrulea." A voice called. She saw a faint shape of a woman. She ran after it for so long. So long that her water began to deplete and she felt she would die again.
She followed so long she no longer looked around her, just to the woman's shadow. She followed it that it took her a minute to notice the woman was gone and she was in the fairy spring of the Desert Temple.
She walked into the center and prayed.
