Jeshi: Okay, I can't tell if I'm heading towards a serious case of writer's block..or am I just stupid? I can never tell..-_-;
Nabooru: Well..usually you just need to start writing, and then it comes to you.
Jeshi: True, true. Cheers! *chugs down rootbeer* Ugh..-_-; Sorry, people, I'm sick..but I'll write anyway! And why?
Nabooru: Because you're a moron and you need to do something creative at least once everyday!
Jeshi: Yes, oh so true...even to the part about calling me a moron!! ^_^
Nabooru: And Jeshi doesn't own anything from the Legend of Zelda! ^_^ It is so sad!
Jeshi: *shrugs* Probably for the best...I would have ended up destroying the very existance of it. -_-; Oh, and I was asked how old Link and Zelda are in this story...um...I dunno...I'll just say..um..
Nabooru: 18?
Jeshi: Sure...18 or 19..whatever....I guess that's for you people to decide, pick which ever age you people are comfortable with! ^_^

The man had his wounds treated, then he was given bread and water. Zelda watched the man, he seemed quite reluctant to take the food they were giving him.
"Sir," Zelda said, "if it is not much to ask, what happened to you?" The man stared at her.
"I..was attacked by wolves.." the man replied shortly after, "they were sent after me by Ganondorf." Link suddenly jumped at the sound of Ganondorf's name.
"Why did he send the wolves after you?" Link asked.
"I..I don't know...I remember hearing him by Lon Lon Ranch, he was saying that he was going to attack the Kakariko Village.." The man answered.
Link thought for a moment, then asked, "Sir, what is your name?"
"My name is Draco," the man replied.
"Well, Draco. I'm just going to say that Ganondorf will not attack the innocent people of Kakariko Village. Not when Link is around," Link said.
At this, Zelda smiled. Link was always so reassuring. She decided that she would yet again talk to her father. In hopes of getting the consent that she should marry Link finally. She then turned back to Draco.
"Did he say when he was planning the attack?" she asked him.
"He..he said that he was planning on attacking tomorrow night at sunset," Draco replied.
"Then I'm leaving here early in the morning. I'll stay in Kakariko Village all day until Ganondorf decides to show up," Link said.
"Draco, you stay here as long as you need to, to get better and on your way again," said Zelda. Then she got up and left to find her father. She found him in the courtyard. He seemed to be immersed while staring at the fountains.
"Father..", she quietly said. He looked up at her. He could see it in her face. He knew exactly what she had come for.
"Zelda, I said not until Ganondorf is defeated," He answered, turning away.
Zelda felt shattered right there. Had she become that predictable? So predictable that she didn't even have to ask anymore, or could her father actually read minds now?
"Oh, but father," Zelda tried to argue cautiously.
"But nothing. We have been over this many times before, Zelda," her father snapped back,"I already said,what good would it be to get married, and then something happen? Widowed at such a young age."
"But what if we were to never even be married, and then something happen?" Zelda asked.
"Chances are that you will be able to deal with the death of Link better if you were not married, rather than you be married if something does happen to him,"her father replied.
"No, father. You are wrong. I love Link so dearly, it seems as if I am dying right now just hearing that we cannot be married. Even if we weren't married, I would miss him oh so much. Father, please, I want you to understand," Zelda had continued, but she was cut off by her father.
"Zelda, I don't care what excuse or little scheme you dare to conjure up, the answer is still no! Now, leave this instant, get back in the castle!" her father snapped.
"But," Zelda started.
"No buts, inside NOW!" her father raised his voice close to a yell. Zelda took a deep breath, then very reluctantly, turned and walked back into the castle.
Yet again she tried...and yet again, her attempts had failed. And now her father was getting annoyed with her asking. Why didn't he understand? She couldn't care less if they got married, and then Link die. She loved him, and she would have known that if he died, she had a loyal husband. A true love indeed. Same with him. A loyal wife. She walked up to her bedroom, and flopped down on her bed. She thought about it over and over again until her thoughts finally carried her to sleep.
Link was up bright and early the next day. He equipped any weapons he'd need, even though he was sure he'd probably only need his sword and shield. He knew that Zelda had obviously asked the king again, because even this morning, he wasn't in a great mood. But, with that, Link decided that he would talk to the king himself before he left for Kakariko Village. The king was wandering the throne room when Link stepped up to him.
"Sir," Link said, "I have come to ask-"
"No," the king said as he turned around to face him. The king had a strange smile on his face. It grew even wider when he saw the astonished look on Link's face, "yes, Link. You and my daughter have become very predictable indeed." At this, Link laughed.
"True, sir. I believe we have. And yet, we still have not given up yet. Nor, do I think we will for a while," Link said.
"Link, I want you to think about it. Now, honestly, what good would it do for the two of you to get married, and become separated by death so suddenly?" the king asked.
"Well,sir...technically when you are married, you are together until death DOES separate you from the other. If I am correct, that is in the wedding vows that you must pledge to each other in the ceremony," Link answered.
"True, it is. But at such a young age. I am worried for my daughter. The heartbreak would be too much for her," The king said.
"But, sir. She is in heartbreak with the thought that we are to not be together. Zelda is a very strong girl indeed, quite physical and especially mental. Heartbreak deals with mental issues, Zelda is definetly strong enough to handle it. Like she handled it when her mother died," Link said. The king suddenly looked shocked.
"Link," the king said, "that is enough. Please, do not bring the queen into this."
"Very well, sir," Link replied, "I won't. But...I will say that if anything, you are not worried about your daughter, you are worried about yourself and your own heartbroken issues. I'm sorry, but I have the feeling that you are just worried of losing your daughter, as you lost your wife. In result, it is YOU who cannot handle the mental issues of heartbreak. Good day, sir." With this, Link turned and left the castle.
Link got Epona saddled and ready for their journey to Kakariko Village. He desperately hoped that he got his point across to the king, rather than annoy him even more. But, Link was confident that the king would not get mad at him. For if he did, let him be mad. Because Link would return that night or the next morning with the news that either Ganondorf was finally dead, or that he thwarted off the evil yet again. And with this, the king, even if he was mad at Link, would be joyful and have the sudden need to celebrate and congratulate Link, which would mean that he would throughly forget his anger towards Link earlier.
Now the only thing that Link wished he would have done was wait for Zelda to wake up. He wished he would have been able to say goodbye to Zelda before he left. He didn't want Zelda to worry about him. But, he would be wasting even more time, and what if Ganondorf suddenly changed his plans and attacked sooner? He immediately hopped on Epona and rode off to Kakariko Village.
Draco watched Link ride away from a window nearby. He was gone. Finally, gone. And now he could wreak havoc among the town and castle with no one to stop him...

Jeshi: What?? Oh, don't tell me that I confused you there at the end of the chapter!
Nabooru: Yeah, don't say that you're confused!
Jeshi: If you are, don't ask. -_-; The questions will all be answered VERY soon, in the coming chapters.
Nabooru: Yeah, so save your stupid questions!
Jeshi: Nabooru, don't say that. I ask stupid questions all the time!
