Deku Forest, SWAMP
"Bad guy, y'know? Killings, arrows, that kinda thing?" Link looked angrily at the Elder Deku Scrub. "Sorry! We do not speak of such things here! It upsets the King! Besides, the princess has gone missing again with those foolish monkeys!" He puffed himself up to his full 4' 1" and glared up at Link. "Again?? Jeez, I just rescued her!" He shook his head, and sighed. "Ok, fine..thanks anyway.." He remounted Epona and rode off again, this time heading towards the north village. He was so intent on finding the Bowman that he didn't really know how. He bowed his head in concentration; the clip clopping of Epona's hooves sounding like a metronome helped his thoughts. He had Mo look up his name on the 'internet' (whatever that was) and it hadn't come up with any matches, apparently. Link wasn't surprised at this. Matches were hard to come by these days since the invention of eklectrike fires. Maybe he should try the Great Bay, Zoras were keen observers. He looked up, his blond hair flopping over his face. Brushing it aside, he dismounted Epona and began to unlatch the gate, when a small silver object fell from his neck and into a little hole. He knelt, scooping it out to see what it was. With a start, he looked at the little fairy charm and remembered the day.the day the two Hyrulians had swapped pendants. This was hers, he thought sadly. The little fairy looked dull and stone like. He vaguely recalled Kim telling him that it only shone when you had love in your heart, or when you were happy. He had never seen it like this, because whenever he was around Kim it always shone as bright as the moon that hovered over Hyrule at night.

Hyrule Manor
"Kim..I bet you its all about her," whispered madeliene to her pillow. "He's crazy about her, and then she went bye-bye and now hes going to get revenge.." She giggled and leapt off the bed, her pink socked feet hitting the ground in a very cat like way, clutching a small blue book with a Triforce logo drawn on it.. She stuffed 'Legolas' under the bad and ran into the large chandelier framed study. "Daddy! Daddy! " she leapt onto her fathers lap and showed him the book. "I know where Link went!" His face turned pale and he flipped through the book to the page where it had been last noted in, four days ago. He grimaced as he read the page, and he took Madeliene by the ankles and threw her onto his broad shoulders, where she hung, giggling hysterically. He ran down the stairs and ran into the white paneled day room. "Maria! We have to organize a search party immediately, Links gone to find Kim!" Madaline hopped onto a table and started to gnaw on a pink apple. "Oh, no.shes not been attacked, has she?" She handed her husband a newspaper that had been wrung several times, and leafed to the page that reported arrow shootings around Hyrule. Maria took the little blue book and turned it to its front, frowning as she recognized it as Link's diary. "Tom Gable! Where did you find this? We both said we wouldn't look into our children's private feelings.." but she too read the page and gasped when she finished, and sat on the day bed, looking out of breath. She looked up, her blue eyes growing larger. "Oh, Tom..what are we going to do? Poor Julia.. I'll go around to their house and organize a search group. Come on, lets go." She took the young girl by her hand and grabbed her handbag from the key rack on the wall. Tom sighed and walked after his determined looking wife, his eyes filled with worry.

Great Bay
Marth sat back in the sand under a parasol, his hand on Kims. He peered intently into her pale gray eyes, frowning. "Are you ok?" he put an arm around her and she sat closer, resting her head on his shoulder. "I don't know!" she cried, tears brimming and spilling onto her milky white skin. "Can I tell you something? You have to promise not to be angry." The Hyrulian took a deep breath, and stared up at the seagulls that circled the fish hut and spider house behind them. "Of course..though I daresay I know whats wrong." He wrapped his arms tightly around her as she nestled in them. "Its Link, isn't it." She buried her head into the shoulder of his royal blue cloak and nodded. "Its just that I miss him so much, and when I was hit," his grip faltered slightly, "all I could remember, even now, was his face.. his touch.. I know I shouldn't be telling you this, but" She looked up, a small smile forming on her lips "I feel like I can trust you." He held her closer, resting his head on hers. "I have something I also need to admit." He frowned, and wondered if this was the right thing to do. "When you were shot..it was..it was.." There was a commotion behind them and seagulls flew up in a swarm, squaking loudly. A harried looking knight flung himself off his chestnut horse and tied the gray stallion next to him to the gate and stumbled toward the couple. "Terribly sorry, sir, but there is a small problem back home..a giant Like- Like is sucking up half the castle.. we cant do anything..three of our men have been injured.." he sped off again, vaulting onto his horse and galloping away towards Snowhead, almost getting his head burnt off by an angry Kinogor dragon. The King stood, brushing sand off his cloak. He offered a hand to Kim, but she shook her head. "I'll stay here for a little while, please. I can make my own way back, don't worry." He nodded, bowed to her and strode towards the slivery stallion, mounting and galloping off. As he soared over the gate that barred them from Snowhead, he looked back, his blue hair whipped over his face, cloak billowing over his torso. The stallion plunged forward and he leant towards the Castle, his head swimming with the words I feel like I can trust you. "HEY!!" he looked back, pulling on the reins and leaning back, turning to where the voice had sounded. "You.Forgot your sword!" Kim was running across the bay, holding his sword in her hands. He flushed, and walked towards her, leaning down to take it from her outstretched hands. "Thankyou." he smiled, and he took the sword, sliding it into his hilt. "Good Luck!" she cried, her hair flying around her from the gust of wind he had left when his horse whirled around. She looked after him, then turned and walked towards the sea. She waded towards the largest boulder and sat, taking out her ocarina. She fiddled with it absent mindedly, running her fingers over the smooth holes, holding it in her palms. Then a gust of wind startled her from behind and she gasped as the instrument fell into the water with a loud splash. She was about to swim after it when she saw a stream of bubbles that broke the surface of the pink tinged water that reflected the beautiful sunset. Gasping, she backed up onto the boulder and looked on as a blue-ish white head appeared. It had long, silvery (what appeared to be) hair, and its gills were a greenish color. It grinned, its amber eyes flashing as it produced a fin and tossed the ocarina towards her. She caught it, gaping at the Zora that was bobbing before her. "Whassa matter? Goron gotcha tounge?" she smiled again, and stuck out a blue fin. "The names Mai. Pleased to meet you, Kim." "How.how did you.." she gasped again, leaning towards the pretty water creature and taking a damp fin and shaking it. "Know your name? We know everything, us. Back at the hall we can watch over the whole of Hyrule, Termina and all the other islands around here." She disappeared under water for a few seconds then emerged again, looking thoughtful. "I know what's wrong..You miss Link, but your.hmm," she screwed up her face, "Falling for Marth.." "Marth? That's his name?" She finally knew what his name was. "Yeah..what, he didn't tell you?" "No.." She looked puzzled. "Why? Is there something wrong?" "Ummm.." She bit her lip. She looked a little unsure, but then took the ocarina from Kim's hands. "What? What are you doing?" the shocked Hyrulian looked on as the Zora raised the ocarina to her lips and played a small melody. She finished, and grinned. "Hold on!"
