The last chapter was really the end, but I wanted to put in this epilogue, cause the last chapter left things sort of hanging.

Anyway, read it please. Oh, and it's really short.

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

Link was standing in the Temple of Time, just like the last time. Zelda appeared, and he ran to her, only she stopped him before he could hug her. "Link," she said, and there was a cold light in his eyes. "I don't love you anymore. I'm in love with Ganondorf." Then Ganondorf stepped out of the shadows, his eyes gleaming. Zelda turned, and walked into the shadows behind Ganondorf. "No! Zelda!" Link cried, wanting to run to her but rooted to the spot. "Zelda!!" he fell onto his knees. Then a shadow fell over him, and he looked up and saw Ganondorf raising his huge blood-stained blade over his head. "NO!!!"

"No...no..." Link said as he writhed in his sleep, tears seeping out of his eyes.

"Shhh..." Wendy said, brushing the hair back from his face. "It's all right... shh..."

"No..." Link muttered a final time, then rested quietly. Wendy resettled the covers he had disturbed, then went back to the window seat, where she had been reading a book. But before she did, she kissed Link on the forehead gently.

Link's dreams had changed. Now he seemed to be floating through them, catching bits and pieces, but they had no coherent meaning to him.

*Flash*

The girl called Wendy lies in a heap. Link lets a fairy out of a bottle, and it swirls around her. She opens her eyes and kisses him.

*Flash*

A man in red and white stands in front of a metal cage, his fingers like immense steak knives. Behind him Link sees Rhone Varinaya lying in the cage, looking pale as death. "No!" Link cries, and charges.

*Flash*

Bright light surrounding him. "Good-bye" he says with his last breath to Wendy. Tears run down her face and she whispers "No." forlornly.

*Flash*

Light. Sound again. Wendy smiling through her tears.

*Flash*

Link turned over in his sleep, and he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke his dreams were only a brief memory.

Well, I hoped you liked the story. I just want to thank my friends for letting me use their characters. I mean, I would have used them anyway, but it's always good to ask!

Read my other stuff!
