To Make Things Clear for the Episode 03: Okay now, here's my first folktale episode! All Finns ahoy! I used a Finnish folktale when I wrote this, so not many know about it! The intro became pretty short, I'm sorry! This episode is going to be a bit different from the two before this… I hope you enjoy and let me know if you do!

Thank you, thank you, reviewers! I really enjoy reading your thoughts!

Sagesumi: Ahahaha…Don't worry about it. I thought you'd just been tired when you wrote your review. Anyway, the three swordsmen are all great no matter the couple, but it's very rare to find a Roy/Link story. Come on now, you really love it? Boy, I thought the 2nd episode was pure crap!

Mewlon: You say you love it too? Wow, I'm SO flattered! Heh, don't worry; I'm not planning to break Roy and Link up… at least not yet… You lost X-files? I couldn't live without them… or maybe I could. Haven't tried!

EPISODE 03

He dropped the petrol can and looked at the blue mermaid-like creature lying on the sand. He knew, he knew it was it. And if he'd let it go now, it would continue what it had been doing from time immemorial. This creature was ancient, cunning, it probably knew more of the world than anything else. It had lived in the sea before life had come to earth from one of those meteorites. It had been there when the meteorites created the earth, and when it had been only a red planet. But where had it come from? Outer space? Was this an alien? Or was it just a mutant, or one of the gods who created the world?

                      Its smell, it was disgusting. It was like mould and fish, water, salt. He could smell it as he stood there near it on the beach. It looked a bit like a mermaid, but it was light green and its long beard was like lots of algae, just like its hair. It was defenceless now, but if it got to the sea, it would have all the power in it against him. He thought of it, how beautiful it was, in its own way, how easily it seduced women… And poor those women, for they could never see the sunlight after it had gotten them to the bottom of the sea with it. If he wouldn't light the match and drop it to the petrol, it wouldn't be stopped. He clenched his fist as he thought of her. That sweet little girl… but there was no way he could've saved her.

At least I can revenge her death.

The only way to make it stop was to burn it. He lit the match and looked at it for a while, before it fell from his hands to the petrol. Soon the creature screamed in its agony. He felt the warmth of the fire and thought of him. The fire flickered on his face.

There it goes… and never comes back.

"Link!" Roy ran towards him, looking surprised. "What the hell is going on here?" He had ran from the Smash Building and breathed heavily.

Link looked at the boy in the light of the fire, now feeling the warmth of them both.

"Uh… Link?" The redheaded general walked slowly to him. "Are you okay?"

"…Mm-hm."

"Wh-what happened here?"

"I had to do it. For their sake." Link turned to look at Roy, whose eyes were wide open. The boy was so confused, looking at the screaming creature aflame in the sand. The redhead looked at his love.

 "Link! Did you set it aflame!?" the swordsman asked, going to the walls.

"It won't be taking anyone ever again."

Have you gone mad, Link? Do you realise what you've done!?

"Are you completely crazy!? Don't you know that you'll be accused for murder!? His relatives are going to want you to prison forever!"

Oh, god.
