"Still awake, Nayru?" Gondru says, going up to Nayru's room to check up on her. Nayru nods and looks out the window, seeing it's already almost dawn.

"I'm sorry, it might just be me, but I find it hard to sleep when you know that the person who killed your parents is back and out to get you." Gondru laughs a little.

"My queen, you don't have to worry about any of that. We have our toughest gaurds in training right now." Nayru gets furious at this.

"Why do we need them to fight my battles! HUH? What can they do that I can't? I demand to go into training as soon as possible!" Gondru shakes his head, sighing.

"I'm afraid I can't risk that. If you die, then this kingdom will cease to exist." Nayru glares at Gondru, wanting to slap him right there.

"Is that all I am, just the heir to the throne. Just someone to hold down the fort while everyone else is out fighting my battles? My father wasn't afraid to fight for my mother, or himself. My mother, although she wore a desguise, fought her own battles. I'm not going to sit here like some, coward, and let someone else do my dirty work!" Gondru gets up and turns on Nayru, his voice growing louder with every word he speaks.

"You will not as much as lift a finger! We have soldiers to fight your battles for a reason! If we lose you we lose a great ruler, and it'll take ages to find another one! If you even THINK about getting outside training, so be it, I'll have soldiers on ever corner of this castle so it'll be impossible to escape!" Nayru just glares up at Gondru, and says in a low, almost growling voice,

"I hate you." Gondru shakes his head.

"I will never understand you." With that he turns and leaves the room, slamming the door behind him. Nayru lays back on her bed and growls.

"Men are so, complicated. UGH!" She turns over on her side and remembers her wolf friends. She gets up out of bed and sneaks over to the secret passage in her wall. She opens it, and dashes down the stairs, hearing it close behind her.

"She just doesn't understand that she can't just run off whenever she wants. I know she doesn't want to be the ruler of Hyrule, but she was born to do the job, and she's a great ruler, she really is. Maybe she needs a husband, to help her out, so she can be free whenever she wants. What do you think Epona?" The horse just gives him a look, as if she were saying, 'why the hell are you talking to an animal'. Gondru laughs at this and pats her muzzle. "Right. Thanks for the help girl." Gondru turns and walks off back up to the castle. A knight walks up to him and says,

"Sir, you're not going to see the queen are you?" Gondru cocks his eyebrow.

"Actually I was."

"She asked that no one disturb her. She wants to be alone for some reason, and she asked that you, specifically, don't bother her." Gondru rolls his eyes.

"Very well then. If she's going to act like a child, so be it. I'm going to town for a while." He goes back into the stables and gets Epona all saddled up, then he realizes that Cujori is gone. He scratches his chin. "Hmm. Wonder where that horse got off to." He shrugs, mounts Epona, riding off towards town.

-*-

"Cujori! Would you stop being such a chicken! UGH! I swear, I'm tying you up to the tree before I call you guys again." Nayru says to one of her friends from the raven pack, who was named after her father. "Link, would you mind hiding for a bit, while I search for him. I'll call you when I have him tied up and everything. He really needs to get used to you." Link howls an 'okay' and goes underground, this being something wolfos do. "Now to find that damn horse." She wanders through the forest and finally finds Cujori, grazing near that one tree he was grazing by not too long ago. She walks up to him and ties him up to it then calls Link.

"Aroooooo!" Link pops out of the ground. He looks at the horse, than Nayru with is blood-red eyes, and sort of grins, looking more like he's bearing his teeth. He says in a deep, growling voice, much like how Nayru had talked to Gondru earlier, "Hello again, friend. So, what was it you were wanting to talk to me about?" Nayru walks over to the wolf and sits down in front of him. Link lies down and rests his head on her lap.

"I was wondering if you and your pack could help me train. I'm looking to fight Ganondorf." The wolfos lifts his head off her lap and cocks his head to one side, giving her a sort of quizzical look.

"Ganondorf? He's trapped in the Evil Realm, my friend." Nayru sighs.

"I wish. He's back, because I found out what actually happened to my parents." Link lays his head back on her lap and growls.

"The prophecy was true. Very well, we will teach you all we know, we are just wolfos, mind you. Maybe we can get another old friend to help you as well. Not a wolfos, no, but another human being such as yourself." Nayru is now the one to have a quizzical expression on her face.

"I thought I was the only one who had the gift to talk to wolfos." Link chuckles a bit, his chuckling sounding more like quiet barks.

"No girl, you're not. Well," He stands up on all fours, motioning for Nayru to do the same, "I'll just call him then." He throws his head back and howls loudly. The earth rumbles and more wolfos pop up. "I need your help, Ravens. Ready?" They all howl now, but a different howl, a howl so high pitched, that Nayru has to cover her ears, it hurts so much. The wolfos all stop at once, and they hear a heavy galloping in the distance. Link grins once again, "Let the training begin."
