Chapter 2

Link strode along the Market Square. He watched the clouds move in the sky. He remembered the seven years of fighting and saving his land. He smiled down at his feet. He really liked his boots. They were bran new. Link laughed to himself. He had won so many girls, but none of them were the ones he wanted. Zelda was too preppie, Malon was too tom boyish, and Saria was too good of a friend. Link walked away from the Market Square. He whistled for Epona, and he rode away to Lake Hylia.

He took off his tunic at the edge of the lake, and jumped in. The water was cool and crisp. He loved the water. It was his favorite element. Then he went under, but something had pulled him back up. He yelled from anger.

"What in the heck is going on?" He looked up and saw a poe. It looked vaguely familiar. Then he remembered, it was he poe he had seen when he was eleven.

"Ah, yes, you are the boy I've talked to many years ago. Ah yes, yes... I suppose you remember me do ya now sonny boy?" Asked the poe evilly.

"Yeah, yeah I do, what do you want?" Link asked trying to stay above the water.

"I want you to come with me. My master needs your help. That king is still on his vast mountain. We hardly have any one left. I wish you were older when I first met you. Then there would be more people alive." The poe crackled.

"Fine. Just hold on. I'll go see the princess first, I'll tell her, but if you are lying, I swear I'll kill you and stick you in my spare bottle. AND THEN DRINK YOU!" Shouted Link angrily. The poe laughed and nodded. Link looked at it suspiciously, but he swam back to Epona putting his tunic back on. He mounted Epona, and rode off to the castle.

Link banged furiously on the castle gates. A guard appeared and let him enter. Zelda was having tea with Malon in the courtyard. They were talking about dresses.

"So Malon, what kind of dress will you be wearing at the ball tomorrow night?" Asked Zelda sipping her tea.

"I'll be wearing my red velvet dress. It's one of those halter tops." She said in her sweet country accent.

"Oh, how....Link? Is that you? Why are you soaking wet?" Zelda asked setting down her tea.

"I went for a swim. Look, I'll be gone for a while. I have business to do elsewhere. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can. Hallo Malon." Link added wavingat her. Malon smiled and waved a little.

"Where are you going Link?" Zelda asked batting her eyes.

"I don't know, it's important business ok?" Zelda blushed a little at his tone of voice. She always thought he was cute when he was irritated.

"But Link, there's going to be the ball tomorrow. Wont you go? Everyone's going to be there." She asked sweetly.

"Zelda, I gotta save a village ok? The ball isn't important now." Malon giggled a little bit, but hushed herself. She knew that Zelda was going to be mad since Link wasn't going to be at the ball.

"The ball is not important Link? Its not important?! I spent to months planning this ball! IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!" She shouted. Link was taken aback. She never screamed at him before. He looked over at Malon. She had shoved a fist in her mouth to keep her from laughing. Link smiled a little.

"Ok, it is, but not to me. So long Zelda. Good day Malon." Malon waved a free hand at link, while Zelda sat down, and faced the opposite end of the castle. She threw a tea cup after Link. Link had to duck. He waved and bowed. He mounted Epona and rode back to Lake Hylia where the poe hovered above the water.

"Well now, are you to come?" It asked.

"Can I bring Epona?" He asked. The poe sighed and nodded. Link smiled and rode nearer to the poe.

"The portal is over there across the bridge. Hurry before it closes." It crackled and set off to the other side of the bridge. Link galloped down the bridge. When he reached the spot, a dark black hole was next to the gravestone. The poe was waiting and told him to come. Then the poe disappeared. Link took a deep breath and rode head on into the darkness.
