I Found Her...

Link was walking down a dark hall. Reaching a fork in his pathway, he didn't know which way to go. Calling out to Luna, he vainly hoped to hear her so he could find the correct path, but her response sounded so far away. Knowing he would not make it in time, link recklessly ran to where he was sure Luna must reside just beyond the corner. Reaching another fork, he heard her from the right, but it was more of a scream than anything else. He ran toward the screams, taking every fork without thought. When he reached the clearing, he found Luna clothed in white robes, and bending over with her arms tied behind her back, and he saw a dark winged figure raise an axe above its head. "That's Luna's executioner!" his mind screamed at him to do something, anything. He frenziedly ran for the figure, but it had already brought the axe upon the Luna's neck. The head rolled to his feet, and he fell to the floor in shock. He then looked up at the executioner and could almost tell who it was when the figure said, "Link, wake up!"

Link awoke with a start. It had been a dream, just a dream... but it had been so vivid. He looked around and noticed he was in Luna's apartment and a dark figure was looming over him, in the twilight of morning.

"C'mon! Get up before anyone finds out you're up here," he recognized that voice. It belonged to...

"Sheik? Is that you?"

"No, it's the tooth fairy. Of course it is knucklehead. You know you're going to get her in so much trouble."

Link noticed all his equipment was missing and said, "Where's my stuff?"

"If you once in your life bother to look, you would notice that your stuff is on the table, so get up and go."

Too tired to retort, he got up and equipped himself, fumbling every so often. When his hat was secured to his head, Sheik said, "Finally, let's go!"

"Wait. I have to let her know where I went. Do you have a lantern, parchment, and a quill?" Link said noticing how dark it was.

"Here," Sheik passed him all that he asked for in a blink of an eye.

"Where do you keep it all?" Link asked astonished.

"That's my secret. Here, let me light the lantern for you," Sheik said taking it from him and lighting it with her magic, making the lantern glow with blue fire. Sheik decided to hold the light for Link while he attempt to write in the low lighting.

Link put the parchment on the coffee table and wrote a quick note to Luna as Sheik held up the light. Link folded the parchment, put Luna's name on it, and left it on the table as he handed Sheik the quill. The items vanished as quickly as they had appeared.

"You are going to have to tell me why I'm going to get Luna in trouble when we get outta here," Link said as he followed Sheik out of Luna's apartment and into the fourth floor corridor.

"And you're going to have to tell me what you were doing up here when we get down, but until then, stay quiet; we don't wanna alert anyone of our presence," Sheik whispered to Link.

They quietly sneaked down the steps until they reached the outside. Link then asked, "So what's the matter with me being up there. I remember her saying something about being in trouble, but I was drunk."

"If you were drunk, shouldn't you have a hangover or something?" Sheik asked.

"I've been drinking so much for so long, that I don't have the after affects of being drunk anymore, but you're dodging my question. Why?"

"Because she is not allowed to even date, much less bring a man up to her room," Sheik said to Link angrily.

"But nothing happened. I didn't—"

"That was obvious when I found you on the couch, but that wouldn't be good enough for Nabooru," Sheik said cutting Link off.

"Would it be good enough that I have this?" Link said and took something out of his pocket. It was a parchment signed by Nabooru, which said that he was of...

"You're of the Gerudo clan? But how--when did you get this?" Sheik said in amazement.

"You can read in the dark?" Link asked amazed.

"That doesn't matter, just answer my question."

"Four years ago, but does this really matter?"

"Yes, it changes everything, but if you're not going to give me the details, just answer me one question."

"What?"

"Why were you up there?"

"Because she didn't want her guide to sleep outside," Link said grinning at Sheik.

"What? Her Guide? But why?" Sheik asked taken aback.

"Because she is the human I'm looking for," Link said as he headed out toward the Hero Games arena, Sheik following him still stunned.
