"Want another one, sweetie?" A waitress at one of the new milk bars in town says as she starts pouring some ale into his cup anyway. Gondru just shrugs and says,

"Um, sure. Why not?" After he drinks that one down, he gets up and leaves, deciding ten glasses is enough for one night. He gets walks up to Epona, staggering a little, and climbs up on top of her. "You'll need to do the directing on this one girl. I don't know if I can see too straight. It's a little dark too. Alright, lets go." He gently kicks Epona's side and she starts off, seeming to know exactly where to go, while Gondru just looks like he's enjoying the ride, burying his face in her mane.

The galloping is still heard, but it sounds like it's coming from all around. Nayru tries to focus her ears to where it's the loudest, but she can't. She grunts in frustration.

"Who are we waiting for? I'm a very impatient person as you know, and I need this training to be done as soon as possible." Link snickers a bit.

"Just be patient this once my friend. You'll know, he's almost here." Nayru folds her arms and looks away, then screams. The galloping has stopped and in front of her stands a very handsome man with black, spiked that has a weird orangish tint to it, and emerald purple, almost black eyes. He's wearing a tunic much like what her father used to wear, but this one is black and looks a little more worn out. He grins, making him even more charming. Nayru just sort of stares.

"Who are you?" He jumps down from his, surprisingly, pure white stallion, and holds out a hand.

"The name's Sheik, love. Your mother went under disguise as a Sheikah named Sheik when Ganondorf was last here, and my parents thought that was great or something, so they named me it." Nayru takes his hand and shakes it, hesitantly though, still trying to get herself to stop staring at him. Sheik just sort of laughs and cocks his eyebrow, "and you are?" Nayru shakes her head,

"Heh, sorry. My name is Nayru, Queen Nayru actually." They let go of each other's hands and Sheik laughs a bit.

"A royal? This is what you give me to work with, mate?" He says referring to Link. Link laughs a growling laughter and replies,

"If you met her on the street you wouldn't know she was a royal at all. She's very tough, ready to fend for herself." Sheik laughs again, then shrugs.

"Whatever you say wolfie. Alright, love, where do you want to begin?" Naryu cocks her eyebrow now.

"Why do you keep calling me 'love'?" Sheik smirks and replies,

"I call all the beautiful ladies 'love'. It's how I was raised, my dad does the same thing. And you can't stop me from saying it, because it's like telling you to stop speaking Hylian and talk in goron." He laughs a bit. "So, where do we start, love?" Nayru glares.

"Lets see how good of a swordsman you are." Sheik just stares at her.

"Aren't I the one who's supposed to be teaching you?" Nayru draws her sword and Sheik does as well, both doing so in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, they're at it, swords clinking together every half second.

Gondru opens his eyes and rubs them a little bit.

"Mmm, must've dozed off." He looks around and sees that they're not back the castle, or in the stables, or anywhere familiar for that matter. He's in a cave of some sort instead, on the ground with a blanket over him. He looks to his left and sees Epona, who's tied up to a rock, drinking water from a small pool. "Where am I?"

"You're in a cave. You fell off your horse and some wolfos were sniffing at you. You're lucky I got there when I did, they were ready to attack." Says a voice that Gondru has never heard before. Gondru looks up and sees a person, or at least he thinks it's a person, with a cloak on, hood up and covering his face so Gondru can only make out his mouth.

"Who are you?" The person smiles and walks over to Gondru, sitting down by him, but where it's dark, taking off his hood so you can still only see his mouth.

"No one important. You should rest until morning, you might be able to set back out then. Heh heh heh." Gondru narrows his eyes, trying to see who it is, but he can't. The person laughs again. "Sleep." And with that one word being said, Gondru feels tired and lays back down, falling asleep.
