Okay, this is the part where everyone gets completely confused. Just to clear things up a bit, these are the friends of Rhone and Nori. Rhone and Nori had been traveling with these psychos- oops, did I just say that? *smiles innocently* - till they got teleported to Dulcea.

Oh and thanks, for my beta readers, RonethDragon Tiamat and Me.

Disclaimer:(This one's long!) I do not own the Legend of Zelda franchise. Tirna, Jani, and the briefly mentioned Nai are RonethDragon Tiamat's. Wendy belongs to my friend Me. Meli is property of my friend Pinball, and Aezimon belongs to Tevish Szat. Nori and Rhone, however, are MINE!!!

~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~

Wendy hummed tunelessly to herself as she walked along the dirt road with her companions. They were not people she would have chosen to travel with, and some were down right annoying. But they seemed to get things done well enough together, so she put up with them.

She looked up at the sun with chocolate brown eyes, once again glad to be outside. I'm so glad we're out of the salt mines, she thought with fervor, shivering with the memory of the salt screamers and the unsavory beef. Damn, those things were ugly. I've seen better lookers in a graveyard, actually came to think of it just about everything I've seen in a graveyard was a prettier sight than that.

She glanced to her left where the gold dragon disciple Tirna bounced along, her bat-like golden wings fluttering. Dragon disciples are half dragon, and have wings the color of their dragon parent. Wendy smiled at the girl's innocence. She's a bit of a twit, Wendy thought. But she's cute, but she's pretty damned useful in a fight.

Behind Wendy walked Aezimon, the stoic human were-bear necromancer. Wendy was glad the moon was waxing, for it brought out his good side. At other times he's almost intolerable. Wendy knew he liked her, but she didn't really like him. And with just cause. He's creepy.

"Jani!"

Wendy smiled at the last two members of the group present, Jani and Meli, screamed at each other. Well to be precise, only Meli screamed. Both were half elven, though Jani was a psionic vampire. They were lovers, but it seemed to Wendy to be a rather abusive relationship. You know, I don't even think they know what they're arguing about anymore, she thought as Meli got mentally "slapped."

"Jani!!" Meli shrieked, and pulled out her mace, swinging it at his head. He dodged it easily, then levitated her a few feet off the ground.

"JANI!" Meli flailed in the air, trying hopelessly to get down.

"Careful now dear, I don't want you to injure yourself." Jani said, trying not to smile. Wendy giggled.

The other members of their group- Nai, Rhone and Nori- were not with them, and Wendy missed them. Rhone and Nori were in this world and were apparently goddesses, but they were being held captive by another god. Nai had apparently not come with them into this world. Too bad, Wendy thought. It might have been a good time to try my charms on him while the Missus isn't here. But then if she is a goddess here it might not be such a good idea to get on her bad side. Besides, Wendy knew he truly loved Nori, and it would have only gotten Nori pissed off at her.

Meli was now screaming incoherently, and then threw her mace at Jani. He ducked and it landed on the ground creating a small crater.

"Now that just wasn't very nice." Jani said, shaking a finger at Meli and smiling broadly.

"Hey guys?" said Tirna, looking off into the distance. No one paid any attention to her. "Guys!"

"What?" said Aezimon irritably.

"What's that?" she said, pointing up the road. A small blob of activity was just visible in the distance through the heat waves.

Wendy shaded her eyes with a hand, her keen elf eyes seeing through the haze. "Three griffins. Looks like they're attacking something."

"Well then let's go crash the party." said Aezimon.

"Aezimon I have two words for you." said Jani. "Shut. Up."

They all started running with Wendy in front, Tirna flying next to her, Jani close behind still levitating Meli, and Aezimon bringing up the rear.

It didn't take too long for Wendy to realize that they were attacking a person. She put up a hand while continuing to run, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground right next to the griffins. They squawked loudly and took flight, leaving a figure lying in the dust, a small ball of green light hovering over him. Wendy sped up, leaving Tirna behind. When she was about ten feet away, the light streamed over to her, stopping right in front of her face and started talking. Wendy stopped in surprise.

"Hi there thanks a lot for saving Link here he's in a bad mood I don't know what's wrong with him maybe you could help oh by the way I'm a fairy and my name's Fayt what's yours?"

It took Wendy a moment to decipher what the fairy had said, but then she smiled. "My name's Wendy." By this time the others had gotten there, except for Aezimon, who was shooting fireballs at the griffins and laughing maniacally. Wendy turned and put her hands on her hips. "Aezimon! Stop wasting power!"

Aezimon glared, but ceased to harass the griffins, joining the others, who now stood in a circle around the young man. He was dressed in a green tunic, white leggings, and calf length leather boots. Spiky blond hair and unusually long pointy ears poked out from beneath a green hat. He had golden gauntlets on his hands, and a sword and shield were strapped across his back, along with a bow and a quiver of arrows. However, he was covered in wounds, and it looked like one of the griffins had stepped on his arm, breaking it.

His outfit could use a bit of work, however with the exception of looking like something chewed him up and spit him out, he's pretty cute. She thought to herself then added quickly aloud to the others, "According to the fairy, his name is Link." Wendy said.

Fayt made a loud chiming noise over Link's head. "Link! Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!"

"Oh gods, I'm not dead yet!" Link said, not opening his eyes.

"Of course you're not dead. These nice people saved you."

"Excuse me if I don't say thank you." he said dully.

"What happened? Did they ambush you?" asked Jani.

"Yes, they ambushed Link. He cut one of them up though. It was cool." The fairy said, bouncing up and down.

"Ookay, so why is your sword sheathed?" asked Wendy.

"I was trying to get myself killed." Link said, opening his eyes to reveal sapphire blue eyes. "Fayt, what weapons do I have left?"

The fairy stopped bouncing. "Uh. your longbow."

"Damn, you can't shoot yourself with a longbow."

"You also have your." began Aezimon. Wendy turned and gave him a death glare, and he shut up.

"And why are you trying to kill yourself?" Wendy asked, returning her attentions to the fighter.

"Because Zelda left me." He said. Then, after a moment, "Who are you people anyway?"

"My name's Wendy." Wendy said, kneeling down next to him.

"Yeah, I heard you telling Fayt that. Who are the other people?" Link said as he sat up, holding his broken arm to his chest. Wendy put her hands on his broken arm, using what little healing ability she had to at least ease the pain. She talked as she worked.

"The elf with the gold wings is Tirna. That's Jani, and the girl he's levitating is."

"Meli." Link said slowly, frowning. "They're vampires. And the other guy is. Aezimon."

"How did you know that?" asked Wendy. Jani was so surprised that he dropped Meli. who for once did not scream and attack Jani. Aezimon put a hand to his sword hilt, while Tirna merely cocked her head with curiosity.

"Rhone and Nori. Sent me to find you." he smiled sourly, and looked Wendy in the eyes. "Well at least I did something right." he said. Then his eyelids dropped and he passed out into Wendy's lap.

"Well," she said to the others. "I suppose we take him with us."

If anyone has any guesses as to what's going to happen, I'd love to hear them. This is a fun story to write, and I'm sorry to say the next chapter will probably be the last one. But, I've got other stories to work on, and new ones floating around in my head all the time.

Review please!!
