Snowhead Temple
"Where is she? Should I go and look for her? But she said she'd make her own way back..oh, I don't know!" Marth strode up and down the large entrance hall to the warm temple. He sighed, and fiddled absently with a curtain tassle. He stared agitatedly out of the large window and sighed. He went outside and saddled his horse, Shadowfax. He would just have to go to Great Bay himself. Mounting up, he stared out over the vast snow covered land and smiled. Settling in the saddle, he galloped through the thin track that led towards the Goron Village. Snow pelted him in the face and went inside his mouth as he blindly galloped through the village, almost knocking over Darami as he headed for Terminas main field. He jumped over the fence and cantered across the sand and was surprised to find himself scared. "If anything else happens to her..I..I'll never forgive myself.. I already did something awful to her..But it was HIM." he spat to himself, looking angry. He pulled on Shadowfax's reins and jumped off, walking to where they had sat. She wasn't there. He walked out to the shore, and to the boulder where she had sat. Nowhere. He looked out into the distance, seeing the tip of Zora hall. He sighed in relief. If Mai had taken her there she would be ok. Hopefully.

Link ran as fast as he could from the Gibdos. He hated those things. He ran and jumped into the dry river bed, deciding to risk being attacked by a ghost to get away from the soul sucking creatures. He felt the strange but all too familiar stopping of air molecules, and his limbs began to hurt tremendously as he was stuck in a Matrix pose. A gibdo stumbled up to him and grabbed his face, and was about to smother him when a flash of green light hit the monster from behind. Links golden fringe was ruffled and he gasped, shaking his arms free of the rotting bandages that lay on them. He looked up and saw a masked man, his body in a Sheikah uniform, his shaggy mane kept in check by a scarf that was wrapped around his face. His amber eyes were deep and he stared at Link quizzically. "Sheik?" Link gasped, and grinned. He ran towards the man and embraced him. "Hey! You really should have worn your Gibdo mask, idiot.." He smiled and hugged the young boy back. Taking out his harp and sitting near the ledge of the river, making sure never to look the monsters that were circling the house feverishly in the eye. He rested it on his broad shoulders and lifted his long, artistic fingers to the string, and played the Song of Curses. The musical notes entwined with the hurtful moans and wails of the burning mummies as they sank to the ground and disappeared. Sheik turned to Link, and smiled kindly. "Why are you out here so late, and in such a dangerous place?" he looked concerned, frowning. "and where's Kim?" he smirked at this, knowing exactly what was going on between the two young elves. But at the look on Links face his smile faltered and he asked again, "Where is she?" Link looked at the starry sky, his large blue eyes filling with tears. He suddenly felt so depressed and a sadness he had never felt before was smothering his heart. He looked down at his boots and slumped his shoulders. Taking a deep breath, he told his friend everything that had happened. When he finished, he sat back, the dusty earth pressing into his palms. Sheik looked worried. "Maybe we should go and see Mai..She'll know what to do." He pondered, and he stood, offering a hand to the Hyrulian. Link grabbed it and stood, dusting the sand off himself. "Who's she?" he asked, as they walked down the path, Link slaying a few stray ghosts with his sword as they walked along, the silver glow of the moon reflecting in his face as he looked up at his friend. "A Zora. Nice girl." He coughed slightly, going a bit pink. Link nudged his shoulder, grinning. "Nice, huh? Heh heh. You don't need to tell me." Link laughed and looked at the ground again. He stopped, looking thoughtful. "What's wrong?" Sheik looked at him carefully. "Well..Its just that..how are we meant to get to Zora Hall?" he frowned. "Its protected by magic. And the Zora mask Mikau gave me doesn't fool them anymore. What can we do?" He took out his sling shot and aimed carefully at a nearby tree branch. He grabbed Sheiks muscled arm and they flew down to the hard ground. Link got up and froze the two Octorks with his Ice arrow. He hopped over them and was about to turn and tell Sheik to hurry up when he heard a yell of fright. There was a moaning noise, and he heard Sheiks voice telling him to hurry up. He looked around and saw Sheik cowering in a heap. He looked up, fear spreading through him. If Sheik was this scared, he would have no chance against the enemy. He couldn't actually see anything. He was a bit perplexed until Sheik screamed again. He then blindly fumbled in his pocket until he found the Lens of Truth. He held it up and gasped when he saw the 60 ft Garo that was looming over his best friend. He grabbed his master sword and smiled grimly when he heard the comforting sound of cool steel scraping on a hilt. He ran his fingers over the gleaming sword and ran towards the enemy and started slashing at the mass of bandages and evil poes. Sheik fell backwards and then backflipped up. He landed and put two fingers to his temples. A huge staff appeared at his feet and he bent to pick it up. He ran towards Link and stood, holding up his staff. Link heaved the sword so that the tip touched the staffs metal point. A blast of white light exploded and Link yelled, his hair blown off his face. Sheiks amber eyes widened as the purple glow from the crystal shard became hotter and hotter. They both swirled up and their bodies combined. The Garo was forced to show itself at the immense power that was present in the now blue throbbing power ball that hovered a few feet off the ground. Another burst of light, and Oni Link appeared. He roared and pounced at the stunned creature. His sword slashed the face of the Master and black blood gushed onto his armor. He smiled fiercely. This was it.
Zora Hall, Main Tower
"Ugh.." Kim was on her back, and she rolled over on the soft coral bed. She opened her eyes and sat up. Where was she? She looked around the room and frowned. Her head hurt a bit, like she had just been pushed around in a time warp. Of Course! Mai! She jumped out of the bed and walked to the door. Opening it, she padded into a large room with a pool and a big table in the middle. Mai stood and smiled at her as the male Zoras bowed deeply and offered her a seat at the head of the table. Kim sat, looking a little mystified. "We are most honoured to have you here with us, Ms Kim," An elder zora sat down and the others followed suit, "We will try and help you find what you are looking for." "Men, if you may.." Mai gestured for two younger, nervous looking water creatures to bring a huge dish, encrusted with rubys and opals, forward. They placed it in the center of the round table and Mai pointed a fin at it. A thin, pinkish liquid oozed out of it and swirled around in the shallow dish. After it was full, Mai stepped backwards and sat in her chair, opposite Kim. She placed her fins on a round red stone near her and bowed her head. The other Zoras did the same, and Kim thought maybe she should too. The liquid suddenly burst up into a fountain and started to circle Kim. She gasped and was about to take her hands off the stone but the Zora who sat near her muttered 'keep your hands in place'. Suddenly she felt a yank near her neck and she fell backwards into a blue vortex, plunging into blackened water.
