-Sighs- Well, I got a traffic jam of feed back. Most people don't want kat and link seperated. Well, it happened. I've got the story planned out. I'm not going to leave them like that. Which is why there are several more chapters to come.
I'd like to take this time to thank all those who have reviewed. Because there are twenty six reviews, I'm not going to thank each personally, but I'd like to give a BIG thanks to everyone. Not only did you read this, but you took time out to review it. I know Katrina would appreatiate it, and it keeps me motivated.
Chapter Eight: A world apart
________________________________________________
Link awoke in the hall that he had first met Cheratrous. This time, he was not as dizzy as the first time he had warped. His footsteps echoed. It was cold, emtpy and lonely. Where was Aaron, Aunty, Nikkih and most importantly, Princess Zelda? Link's question was quickly answered, because behind him appeared the four.
Nikkih sighed. "Gawd, Link, I feel sorry for you. Too bad we didn't have something of hers..." Link turned away. He didn't feel like talking. But apparently, Aaron did.
"Nikkih! You're a genious! I completely forgot about the Neriko Sanbecam! When royalty weilds it, they can create protals to different worlds if they have something special from someone they deeply care about! Zelda, give me something of yours, and Link, do you have any thing of Kat's?" Everyone cast their eyes to Link, hoping for a positive answer. But they didn't get one. "No." Link said depressingly, brushing the melted snow off his shoulders. Aaron sighed. Zelda reached to her ears and took off her golden triforce earrings.
"Aaroniel, they were my mothers. Will I be able to get them back?" Aaroniel reached out his hand, and told her that returning them would be the first thing he did after he opened the portal. Zelda smiled, and hugged Aaroniel.
Footsteps echoed from the hallway that no one had noticed before. "Prince Aaroniel, Princess Zelda, Nikkih, and Link! I'm so glad that you are back. Hyrule and Naniska where the first to be cleared of all darkness. I am glad to see you well. In moments, your seprate land powers will take you back to your worlds. I must say it has been a pleasure meeting you all" Came Cheratrous's voice, as she walked into the main area. Zelda, for a second looked confused.
Moments later, Link and Zelda found themselves looking at the golden power itself. They were back. Back in Hyrule, in the high tower of the palace. "Home" Zelda murmered. "Link, we're home. Home!" Zelda, in great excitement, made her way down the stairs to see her beloved father. Link followed, not out of excitement, but because there might be something down there waiting for Zelda, and Link wasn't thinking it would be her father. But nothing was there, Link was being paranoid, which Zelda had accused him of being, many many times.
That evening, a celebration was held in honour that the darkness was gone, that the great Princess Zelda and the hero Link had returned. There was feasting, dancing, singing, speaches, anything that could go into a midevil celebration. Link tried to sit through it, but after an hour of fiddling with his fork and not eating anything, he walked out and rode Epona along the shores of the Bay. Somehow, it was so painful for him, to be away from Kat, knowing that he couldn't go back.
Aaroniel, or Prince Aaroniel (don't ask me how that worked out) created a portal to hyrule and returned to Zelda, as he had promised. The connection was welcomed by the king of Hyrule, and as well as the King of Naniska, because of the trade that could go on, there was so much that could be done, and there was peace amoung the lands. Days, weeks, months, all disappeared. For Link, Earth was just a faint memory. But Kat would always remain in his heart, in a strong vision that was clearer then a cloudless sky.
Two years have past, and Aaroniel serves as King of Hyrule, with Queen Zelda at his side, and Zelda's father as an adviser. Link, in his eighteenth year, was now called not only to guard the Golden Power(triforce), but the Sacred Tinorbe, Naniska's treasure. He had never gotten over missing Kat, so he decided that he would never marry another girl as long as he had lived. It certainly gave him immence satisfaction when he told Ruto.
- Somewhere in on of the corners of Naniska -
"Calm down. You are making me angry." A man said placidly, running his fingers up and down the blade of a sword. The small bearded man whom had been spoken to stopped his pacing and turned to the sitting man. "Master, you must understand that our time is running out to get the Tinorbe. And yet you do nothing! Do you not even have a plan? This swordsman that is protecting it is not foolish, nor is he weak. You know how much time we have left, you need to do something!"
The sitting man chuckled. "All in good time, Tethroth. All in good time. Besides, remember the failed plan? Where we tried to fill all the worlds with darkness?" the man paused, and started speaking to himself more then Tethroth. "That damn Cheratrous, wrecking all that marvolous destruction that was to come."
"Master Quain?" Called Tethroth, to bring his master back to reality. Quain looked displeased, not liking being interrupted from thought. "Anyhow, Cheratrous, (curse her name) thought that she had cleaned all the worlds of our substance darkness. But she was wrong, the old fool. Darkness is still on Earth."
What Quain said was true. For Link, unnoticedly, had let darkness get past the barrier, on the fateful day of Kat's drama performance. It had dripped from the tip of the rose when Link dropped it. And it never got noticed, and was left there until it's master commanded it to destroy.
Tethroth sighed, and gave Quain the impression that he didn't know how that was going to help them. Quain rolled his eyes as if it where bloody obvious, and explained. "When Cheratrous took two people from each world and took it to a safe world, she took the princess of hyrule, and the swordsman whom now guards the Tinorbe. The swordsman left something behind on Earth when he returned to Hyrule." Tethroth thought for a second.
"He left behind a powerful weapon we can destroy him with?" Tethroth guessed. Quain stood up and hit his servant on the head, and yelled something like "Idiot" at him. After settling down, Quain continued.
"No, fool! He left behind..." Quain paused for a more dramatic effect. "His first love." Tethroth, rubbing his head, nodded. "We summon the swordsman, and use the human child as a bargaining tool for the Tinorbe. After, we kill him, so he does not come back for it.
"With the darkness on Earth, we can get our bargaining tool. It should not be long before we have our hands on the Tinorbe, and then we can conquer. Go! Send a messanger to the swordsman!" Quain ordered Tethroth, who bowed and left the room. Quian's chuckle echoed off the stone walls as he commanded the darkness to do his bidding.

Kat watched from her window. Some days she could imagine Link, Zelda, Aaroniel and Nikkih walking down the sidewalk. How she longed to see them, they had been her closest friends. But she mourned more because Link was gone, a peice of her heart torn from her, taken with such brutal force. Kat often wondered why every good thing in her life was taken from her. The last two years without them had been miserable, and lonely.
An eerie feeling fell over the room. Kat felt a draft fall into the room, and shivered. A shadow loomed over her. Kat turned around, and saw blackness.
A wave, a wave of shadow, no, darkness, billowed into the room around her, seeming to take away everything around it. A scream built up in Kat's throat, but could not make it past her lips. The darkness came closer, closer, until it surrounded her. Kat gasped for air, but found herself swallowing darkness. She could not see, nor could she breath. She faught to get free, but to no avail. Soon, her body gave up the struggle, and the darkness consumed the fragile girl.
