Link arrived in Kakariko Village bright and early like he wanted to. He breathed in the sweet serene air. He was going to stay here all day, and wait for Ganondorf. He wasn't going to let him attack this peaceful village.

The people cheerfully greeted him with smiles, not knowing why he was there. He kindly shook hands, and nodded graciously to the people.

"Link, what brings you here today?" A young lady asked Link.

"Nothing, nothing at all. Just thought I'd stay here for the day…get away from the hectic town market, you know how that's like," Link replied. Whatever Ganondorf was planning, he'd be ready for him…

While Link was gone, things had been very quiet at the castle. Draco sat around all day, staring out the window. As if he were waiting for something…but what? He left after the sun had risen high in the afternoon and left to the market. That's when it was the most busiest.

He ventured into the busy streets of the castle town market. Along the way, he ran into a lady who was trying to carry a bag of food supplies and trying to manage 3 active children at the same time. He apologized to the lady, who graciously accepted, and hurried along. After she left, he looked into his hand to see he had succeeded in stealing her bracelet.

'If I find the right person, I could get some pretty good rupees for this..' he deviously thought. A smile spread across his face. He was quite proud of himself, yet ashamed. He had gone through so much trouble to be rid of Link, and now that he was, he was wasting what little time he had to cause trouble without being caught. He needed to think…what could he do to spread chaos throughout the town? He thought for a second, then noticed the Temple of Time.

The Temple of Time…the old…Temple of Time…which the people loved dearly…the place where the people would pray to the gods. Yes…their gods…the ones that made them feel safe, besides the Hero of Time of course? Yes…but, would they feel so safe without their precious Temple of Time? Would they feel safe, without their praying spot, regardless the fact that they had their Hero of Time to protect them? Well…there was only one way to find out!

Link's wait in Kakariko had to be, what he thought, was the most boring wait he had ever gone through in his life. WHERE was Ganondorf? And WHY wasn't he attacking? And if he was, why not sooner? If Link knew Ganondorf, he'd know that Ganondorf, if he could, would attack sooner! And since Ganondorf was such a…::ahem:: "respected" person, he'd surely have no trouble directing troops of any kind. Especially if they were Gerudos…

But yet, the day slowly passed by peacefully, people going in and out of the town on their merry old business of every kind. Not a care in the world…not suspecting Ganondorf coming. The poor innocent souls who would lose their lives if he wasn't around…

The sun was just beginning to set when Link fully awakened himself, totally prepared for battle. Okay, so maybe Ganondorf was coming at just the time he planned…if not, then he was actually having trouble gathering followers this time?

Link chuckled at the thought, then readied himself when he saw a few people running frenzied-like into the village. Aha! It must be a sign that Ganondorf was here! But instead, the people ran around a lot yelling about a fire. Fire? What fire? Link edged closer to one of the hysterical people and slowly lowered his sword.

"What's this about a fire?" Link asked the one frantic man. The man looked terrified, and his face was pale.

"It's in the castle town market…the Temple of Time!" The man yelled.

Link gasped. What was this? A fire at the Temple of Time? Why there? Why not at Kakariko Village?!…Unless, Ganondorf wasn't planning on coming at all? Maybe…maybe Draco was mistaken, and Ganondorf was REALLY at the market right now!

Link quickly sheathed his sword and made a frantic run for Epona. He swung onto her back and rode out of the village in a desperate rush to the market. He couldn't let the castle town market be attacked…or the castle…or Zelda…not even by Ganondorf!

Yes, Draco was quite proud of himself. The people panicked when they saw their Temple of Time burst into flames. He chuckled to himself, and admired his craftiness. He wondered that if he ever met Ganondorf…would he like him to work for him? He'd be a good servant…and he'd probably get paid good too. King of a thieving tribe and all, he thought. He looked around the crowd of people who had formed to watch the Temple. He then noticed that Zelda had appeared, her eyes full of dismay.

'Hmm…why is the princess Zelda here? Does she think she can put the fire out or something?' Draco thought. Then another thought had come across him. He decided this was the perfect time to start a rumour…he snuck between two ladies who appeared to like to gossip.

"You know what? I heard that there was a little boy who ran in to get his little sister's doll…oh, she really loves that doll…only thing she has of her mother…and their mother is dead…and if no one does anything, that little boy will be too," he whispered to them. The ladies heard and started spreading it about. It eventually reached Zelda.

'A little boy lost in the fire? Oh, how terrible!' Zelda thought. She looked around. Surely everyone else had heard this already? And if so, why weren't they doing anything?

"Haven't you all heard about the little boy in the fire?" Zelda asked aloud. People turned and stared at her. Random voices could be heard saying, "yes" and "that poor boy"…

"If you have, why aren't any of you doing anything?" Zelda asked them all. Some of the little people she had looking at her before, now turned away. They seemed somewhat ashamed.

'Oh, no! That poor boy is going to die in that building…and no one's going to even try to help him!' Zelda thought again. She then gathered up as much courage as she could and ran into the burning Temple of Time, horrified gasps and excited talking sprung up through the crowd now, as the people saw their only princess and future queen run into the Temple to save this little boy.

Link had rode back into the market, only to be greeted by over-hysterical people who were screaming for him, some were even crying.

"What is it?! What's going on? Where's Ganondorf?" Link asked. Some people gave Link a very clueless look.

"Ganondorf isn't here, Link!" a woman screamed.

"Well, what's going on?! Why's there a fire?!" Link asked, completely confused.

"We don't know…someone started it. And Zelda has run into the fire to find a lost little boy who's inside!" A man yelled.

Panic and worry struck Link in the face. Zelda was in the burning Temple of Time?! Why?! She could get hurt, why was she even in the town in the first place? And now she was in the building…she could die!

"ZELDA!" Link screamed. He jumped off of Epona and charged into the flame engulfed building. He was GOING to find Zelda, and bring her out…she wasn't going to die like this…no one was…

Jeshi: Yeah, I'll end it there…why? Well..1.) I like cliffhangers 2.) Because I said so…and… 3.) I'm that mean! ^_^

Nabooru: _ Meanie…

Jeshi: Yeah…and by the way, have you people noticed a new format, sorta-ish? Yeah, I can use bold and italics now! ^_^ I figured out how to save in an HTML word document! ^_^ The only problem I seem to be experiencing is that…well, I don't think my indents are working for paragraphs…but…oh, well. At least I can still separate them! ^_^

Nabooru: Yay! ^_^

Jeshi: Yes, Nabooru, yay indeed! And my writer's block is officially over, so expect an update pretty soon! ^_6
