~Ok! I'm back! And I'm. . . well, erm. . . not dead! Here's another chapter!*~

The next thing Frodo knew, he was underneath five squirming bodies.

Not exactly the most comfortable position.

"Gerroff!" he gasped. The people on top of the pile slowly (to the hobbit, anyway) got off him.

The fellowship had been piled in an impossibly small space; a flat, gray boulder on what seemed to be an island, bare of anything except the boulder and a tall, leafless tree. There was one person missing, however. Link.

Frodo realized this, and he gazed about, calling the Hylian's name.

I'm up here! Navi flew down from the top of the tree, were her partner had been standing. The Hylian in question quickly shimmied down.

On the bright side, the song worked! We are at Lake Hylia. . . but you've appeared here as well. He hung his head. If I had put one moment's thought into it, I would have realized that this would happen.

"Well, naught for it now," Gimli interrupted. "We may as well make the best of it. You said that you knew where we were?"

Link nodded in confirmation. We are on the island in the middle of Lake Hylia. There is a rope bridge to the mainland. he smirked for a moment, then continued. I advise you not to fall off, for if you do, you will be swimming to land. Oh, and see that hut there?

He pointed to a small building on the lakeshore. *Don't* go in there. A scientist lives there, and let's just say that he doesn't take well to intruders.

And so they began to walk across the bridge. They where not halfway across when a female voice hailed them, from the water.

Link!

The Hylian addressed the fellowship from the corner of his mouth. Keep. . . Walking. . .

"Why? Who is it?" asked Pippin curiously.

Princess Ruto of the Zoras. A more stuck-up aristocrat you've never met.

As soon as they reached land, Ruto emerged from the water. Link, she said mockingly. Won't you introduce me to your friends? The Hylian bowed, wincing slightly at the pain in his wounds, and introduced his companions, who were not just a little shocked at what a Zora was.

If you don't mind, we have urgent business to attend to. he said curtly, turning on his heel, beckoning for the fellowship to follow.

They left through what seemed to be a pathway, but surrounded on two sides by mounds of dirt, and they immerged onto a large plain.**

Hyrule Field, the Hylian said, not a little proud, waving a hand at their surroundings.

"Umm. . . back there, you said something about 'urgent business'. . . what urgent business?" asked Merry.

Link just rolled his eyes. Business being getting away from her.

*Boy, I like those exclamation points, don't I?(!)

**Yes, I know that there're a few fences, and stuff here, but I'm too lazy to describe them. . . capiche?

~Ok, I hope that's satisfied you guys for now. . . I'm working on a few other fics at the moment, so I may not update too soon. . . sorry 'bout that. -_-;
