Zelda was at Link's side in a heartbeat. "What was that!" Zelda sputtered "The crystals only can show memories of ACTUAL events!"

Link looked dumbstruck "I haven't a clue, as to what in the HELL happened! What did you do!" He yelled so loudly, that it echoed throughout the castle, and stung his ears.

Zelda's hurt face stared back at him for several moments, making him feel very uneasy.

"Uh. I'm." Link trailed off momentarily, feeling quite sick indeed. "Sorry."

Zelda swallowed hard, and began to speak, changing the subject

"This is very, strange, Link. Everything is, wrong. Your not the same as you were the day Agahnim took power. What did he do to you. Physiologically?"

*Does she think I am insane? And how would a fu. How would a princess know pain?

"Nothing, I am fine-"

"THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! What did that ANIMAL did to you, my Link."

*Why do you care so much. My princess.

"This is out of my power. I don't know what to do." Zelda looked very pained, that she didn't have an answer for something.

"The lost oracle is the only man who can deal with what ever Agahnim did to you."

*What is, the lost Oracle?

"What is."

"You will see, Link, and we might get some answers."

Link sat up, and looked at Zelda. She made him feel so, loved. Something he was not used to. *How could I raise my voice to Zelda?

He walked up to her, and couldn't help himself. He reached out, and held her in a tight embrace. Link noticed that she did not struggle in the least, but returned the gesture, by hugging him tightly. "Oh, Zelda. I don't want to hurt you."

Zelda walked with Link, and several armed guards, out to the front of the castle. "Link, the lost oracle lives in the woods. We haven't seen him in twenty years-" "Why? What did he do?" "Uh. er. That is to say" Zelda stammered "It was what WE did. The other sages and I. The Lost Oracle did not trust Agahnim, and wanted him, and his son, banished from the land. This was actually treason, considering he was the old king's head council. So we banished him from Hyrule" Then, 18 years latter, Agahnim turned on us."

Link had never known the Sages to be bad judges of character, or to give harsh punishments to innocent people.

Link and the Princess Zelda walked onward, and out to the mouth of the forest. It hadn't seemed to change, while the rest of Hyrule did. Link pulled out his lamp, and walked onward, ahead of his beloved Zelda.

"Something isn't right here." Link spoke quietly. "I have one question Zelda." Zelda nodded, "Well, you gave me the Triforce piece of courage, and you kept the piece of wisdom. What happened to the Triforce of power?" "We never. Found it."

There was a crash behind them, and in the undergrowth, stood a very tall, cloaked figure, and the guards were knocked out cold.

I know it was short, but o well. R&R!
