Chapter Four
"Ryo, are you just going to stand there all day, or are we going to go into Hyrule Field?" Rachel asked her cousin who was taking one last look at Zora's Domain.
"Alright, I'm coming." Ryo smiled as Link put his arm around Ryo's waist.
He whispered in her ear, "I love you, Ryo."
Ryo laughed, "I know, and I return that love."
~**~
When in Hyrule Field, the sky darkened. Ryo looked around, and Link frowned, "This is what happened the day you guys appeared in Hyrule. . ."
As he said this, a swirl of wind appeared in the distance. Ghost, Epona, and Demon raced toward it. Demon was the first there, and both Ryo and Link heard Rachel scream in joy, "JORDAN!"
As Ryo and Link came to where Rachel was, they saw a blond haired blue eyed young man. He smiled at them, "Hello Ryo, its good to see you."
"Jordan, how did you get here?" Ryo asked.
Jordan shrugged, "I was going hiking and a wind picked up. . ."
Ryo nodded, "That's how we got here." She smiled, "Why were you going hiking by yourself?"
Jordan's blue eyes flashed, "My mother and I had an argument about my powers. . ." The sky darkened even more, and thunder could be heard in the distance.
Ryo shivered, and Rachel gave Jordan a stern face, "Jordan, you know Ryo is afraid of storms!"
Jordan's eyes lightened, and he looked at Ryo, "I'm sorry, Ryo, I forgot."
Link put a hand on Ryo's shoulder, "Are you alright, my love?"
Jordan shook his hands in front of him, "Wait. . . Ryo is in love?" He laughed, "I can't believe it. . ." He then noticed who Link was, "Is that Link. . ."
Rachel quickly nodded her head, "Yes, it is." She dismounted from Demon, and was grabbed in a hug by Jordan.
Ryo and Link dismounted also. Link sighed, "I guess this means we need to go weapon shopping again, not to mention he needs some new clothes."
~**~
In Castle town, they went to the weapon shop for Jordan. Link looked at Jordan, "Which weapon do you specialize with?"
Jordan shrugged, "A boomerang." Link handed him a bronze colored boomerang.
The man nodded, "That will be ninety rupees. . ."
Ryo clenched her fist, and it caught on fire, "If you say it, I will kill you right here and now."
Link paid the ninety rupees, and they all left. They then went to the clothes shop. Jordan got a bronze colored tunic, Link paid for that and they left.
Link looked at Jordan, "All you need now is a steed. . ."
Rachel nodded, "Yeah, but where are we going to get another horse?"
Link smiled, "Lon Lon Ranch."
~**~
On entering Lon Lon Ranch, they were greeted by a girl a little older than Ryo, "Link, how may I help you?"
Link smiled, "Malon, I was wondering if my friend could. . ."
"Oh! You're back!" Malon yelled as she ran towards Demon. Demon snorted and pranced.
Jordan dismounted from Demon, and walked to the corral. There was a gorgeous three-colored paint. He walked into the corral, and over to the stallion. The three-colored paint nudged him, and whinnied. Jordan rubbed his forehead, "Hey boy, how are you?"
Malon saw this and gasped, "You can go near him?"
Jordan nodded, "Yes, why?"
"He won't let anyone near him!" Malon stated.
Link smiled, "Malon, that is what we are here about, Jordan needs a horse. . ."
Malon nodded, "Take him, he respects you. He won't even let me near him."
Jordan smiled, "Hey Wild Wind. . ." He laughed as Wild Wind whinnied. Malon got him all he needed to ride Wild Wind. Jordan got Wild Wind ready, and mounted him.
~**~
Jordan laughed as their group rode out of Lon Lon Ranch, "This is great!"
Ryo smiled, "So his name is Wild Wind?"
Jordan nodded, "Yes, it is."
Link laughed, "Where should we go next?"
Jordan sat straight up in Wild Wind's saddle, "Lets go to Lake Hylia!"
Link nodded, "Alright, that's where we'll go next." He patted Epona's neck, "Lets go girl, to Lake Hylia."
~**~
Before they reached Lake Hylia, Ghost and Demon both stopped dead in their tracks. Ryo and Rachel tried to urge them to go, but they just snorted. Ghost then reared while Ryo had her guard down. She grabbed onto his mane to keep on his back, "Ghost!"
Rachel had the same problem with Demon, "Demon!"
Both Ryo and Rachel fell to the ground, hard. Rachel stood up, and dusted herself off. Link and Jordan were both laughing at the two of them. Rachel put her hands on her hips, "You think it's funny!"
Ryo shook her head to clear it, "Something is scaring them. . ."
Link looked at Ryo, "There is nothing here. . ."
As he said this, they heard a wolf howl, and it turned dark. After this happened, skeletons sprung up from the ground. Rachel clenched her sword hilt. Ryo drew her sword, and tightened her grip on the hilt. With that done, the blade caught on fire in a blaze. She waved it around, and Rachel smiled, "You know, if you do that fast enough, you could spell your name. . ."
Ryo growled, "These things aren't what got Demon and Ghost all worked up. These are just another notch in the stick for how many things we've beaten!"
Along with the skeletons, came creatures out of the shadows. Link quickly dismounted, "Some of those are Redead. . ."
Ryo ran towards them, "I don't care if they are the President of the United States, I am not going to let them hurt me!"
Link tried to stop Ryo, "No, Ryo, you can't attack them. . ."
Ryo didn't listen to Link, "I am not weak!" She brought her sword up to attack the Redead, "I'll show you I can handle myself. . ."
Jordan lunged for Ryo, and so did Link and Rachel. All three grabbed her around the waist. Ryo struggled against their grip, but all three pulled her away from the Redead. Rachel hit Ryo, "Come to your senses!"
Ryo stopped, "What just happened?"
Jordan's eyes flashed, and lightning lit up the sky, "You went crazy."
Ryo put her hands over her head to shield herself. Rachel looked at her, "That wasn't how Ryo reacts to things. . . Something was wrong."
Link brought Ryo into a hug, "Jordan, how long can you keep a storm going?"
Jordan smiled as the lightning increased and rain fell, "I can keep a storm going for as long as someone needs it to go on."
"Good, lets go." Link stated as he put Ryo on Ghost. Ghost nudged Link, and Link nodded, "Yes, Ghost, she will be alright." He then mounted Epona, and grabbed Ghost's reins. He then tied them to Epona's saddle.
Rachel wrinkled her nose as she mounted Demon, "Something weird is going on, and I don't like it!" She then smiled at Jordan, "It would be nice if we had some fog or mist to cover our tracks. . ."
Jordan smiled, "Way ahead of you." As he said this, a dense fog covered the ground, and wrapped around them. He too mounted Wild Wind, and they all rode off.
~**~
A dark character watched Ryo, Link, Rachel, and Jordan as they mounted their horses, "They have to be the ones. . ."
A young girl walked into the room that the character was in, "My lord, do you need anything?"
The character didn't take his eyes off of his crystal ball, "No, Kaysa, I don't need anything." He snorted in disgust, "My brother, Ganondorf, was weak to let that puny Link beat him."
The girl, Kaysa, nodded, "Yes my lord, I agree with you totally."
The character nodded, "One of those two girls is the key to the Triforce. . . Which one is it?"
Kaysa smiled, "I think time will tell, father."
He laughed, "You are my daughter, Kaysa."
Kaysa nodded, "Yes, father. Roeticus will rule Hyrule!"
Her father, Roeticus, nodded, "You will be the princess."
~**~
Link nodded to Jordan as they reached Lake Hylia, "You can stop the storm, Jordan."
Jordan smiled, "Alright, the storm will stop in three. . . two. . . one. . ." After one, the storm ceased.
Rachel looked at Ryo, "Link, is she going to be ok?"
Link looked at Ryo, "I don't know, Rachel. Only time will tell." He took Ryo off of Ghost, and set her down, "Ryo, are you alright?"
Ryo's eyes were glazed over. Rachel looked her straight in the eye, and gasped, "Link. . ."
Link looked at Rachel, "What is wrong?" Rachel pointed to Ryo's eyes, and Link stared into them. He backed away from Ryo, "The Triforce. . ."
"Why is her eyes the shape of the Triforce?" Rachel asked.
Link got over his shock, "I don't know."
Jordan nodded, "I do. . ."
Rachel and Link looked at him, "What?"
"She is the key to the Triforce." Jordan stated. He nodded, "She has to be. That is the only explanation I can think of."
Ryo closed her eyes, and shook her head. She then opened her eyes and saw all three looking at her, "What's wrong?"
Link looked her in the eye, and nodded, "I think you are right, Jordan, it isn't there anymore." He smiled at the puzzled look of Ryo, "I see you are ok. . ."
Ryo nodded as she put a hand to her forehead, "I guess so, but my head hurts."
Rachel laughed, "You don't remember anything, do you?"
Ryo shook her head, and Jordan smiled, "Well, we made it to Lake Hylia."
Ryo moaned, and she laid down, "For once, I want to just lie down and go to sleep. . ."
Rachel laughed, "Go on ahead, it wouldn't bother me. I'm going swimming, come on Jordan!" Both Jordan and her ran to the lake's edge. They dived in, clothes on.
Link sat down beside Ryo, "Are you sure you are alright?"
Ryo closed her eyes, "I don't know anymore." She opened them back up again, and sat up, "You don't have to stay here with me, I'm alright."
Link laughed, "I couldn't leave you if I wanted to." Ryo smiled, and laid back against Link's chest. Link breathed in the scent of Ryo's hair. It smelled of vanilla grass. He smiled, "Ryo. . ." He stopped as he noticed Ryo had fallen asleep. He shook his head, "She falls asleep easily. Its like she doesn't get enough sleep, and exhaustion over takes her." He kissed her head, and watched Rachel and Jordan kissing in the lake. He laughed, "Go somewhere else if you are going to do that. . ."
He stopped as an old man yelled out of the window of the laboratory, "Shut the Hell up! I am trying to research something, and your loud noises are distracting me!"
Ryo bolted awake, "NO!" She jumped out of Link's grip, and breathed heavily. She started to cry, "I couldn't save them. I went to that stupid movie!"
Link turned Ryo to face him, "What's wrong, my love?"
Ryo dug her face into Link's chest, "They murdered my parents, just so they could have me. It's all my fault. My father had made sure I was at that movie. He knew it was coming. . . Mom, she always did like to see me happy."
Link rubbed Ryo's back, "It's alright, I'm here for you."
"They wanted to test Rachel, they wanted to test me. We ran from them, always one step ahead of them. Dad knew how we had gotten our powers, but wouldn't tell anyone. He put three kids through tests. Those three kids were Rachel, Jordan, and I. We were special, we had powers that no other had. They killed dad because he wouldn't tell them. Mom stood beside him all the way." Ryo cried.
Rachel rushed over to Link, "What happened?"
Link shook his head, "She had fallen asleep, and when that old man yelled, she bolted out of her sleep."
Jordan rushed over, "What would cause her to go through the past she had pushed to the back of her mind?"
Ryo pulled away from Link, eyes the shape of the Triforce, "Dad was murdered by his lab associates." She went silent, and then shook her head. Her eyes returned to normal, and she looked at them all, "Stop staring at me! What is your problem?"
Rachel sighed, "This is too weird."
~**~
Roeticus watched with interest what was happening to the group at Lake Hylia, "I think I have found the key to the Triforce."
Kaysa looked into the crystal ball, "Which one is it?"
Roeticus pointed to Ryo, "She is the one, Kaysa. She is the key to my victory."
Kaysa laughed, "What are you going to do, father?"
Roeticus smiled, "I am going to try to take over her mind."
~**~
Ryo slammed her fist into the ground, "I am not weak! I do not cry!"
Link sighed, "Ryo, you were crying. Your tearstained cheeks are proof."
Rachel nodded, "It's true, Ryo, you were crying. I was shocked."
Ryo shook her head, "I don't care what you say, I do not cry!"
Jordan shook his head, "Ryo you were talking about how your parents were murdered. . ."
Ryo's flamed fist stopped right in front of Jordan's face, "Don't you Ever talk about that! I never want to hear you talk about it again. . . Understand Me?" Jordan nodded, and Ryo suddenly dropped her fist, "What is happening to me? I can't control my anger, fear, hate, or anything."
Link grabbed Ryo in a hug, "We'll figure out what's wrong with you, don't worry."
Ryo looked around as she heard a voice, "I can help you. . ."
"What?" Ryo asked.
"I can help you with your problem. Just trust me. . ."
"I don't trust anyone." Ryo stated seriously.
"You will obey me!" Ryo grabbed her head in pain.
"Link, help me!" Ryo yelled as she was in pain, "Someone is inside my head! They won't leave me alone! I can't take it!"
Link hugged Ryo tight, "Don't worry, you'll get through this, you are strong."
Ryo screamed in pain, "Someone kill me! I can't take it!" She grabbed the hilt of her sword, "If no one will, then I'll do it myself!"
Rachel grabbed the sword away from Ryo, "I can't let you do that. . ." Ryo swung at Rachel, trying to punch her.
Ryo screamed, "Please, just grant me this one favor, kill me!"
Jordan's eyes flashed, "Fine, I'll grant you this one favor!"
Rachel looked at Jordan, "NO Jordan! Don't kill her!"
Jordan punched Ryo in the stomach with such a force that she fell unconscious in Link's grip. Jordan looked at Rachel, "If she is unconscious, the person has no access to her mind. I would never kill Ryo. All three of us have been through too much."
Rachel looked at the unconscious Ryo, "Who has the power to get inside one of the toughest minds?"
Link shook his head, "That's what we have to find out."
~**~
Roeticus flew back in his chair, "She has a strong will. She doesn't want to be controlled. Before she went unconscious, I was beginning to loose control of myself. . ."
Kaysa dabbed her father's head with a wet cloth, "Don't worry father, she will fall to you."
~**~
Link clasped hands with Jordan, "Thank you, Jordan, you relieved Ryo of her pain." He then kissed Rachel on the cheek, "Thank you, Rachel, you kept Ryo from killing herself."
Rachel smiled, "I would never let my cousin die, never!"
Link kissed Ryo's forehead, "All we can do now is wait until she comes to."
Rachel nodded, "I guess so." She saw Link was straining with all his might to stay standing, "Link, why don't you lay down and rest? Jordan and I will watch." Link nodded, and laid down beside Ryo. In minutes he was asleep. Rachel laughed, "I guess it's just me and you, Jordan. . ."
Jordan kissed Rachel with passion. When he ended, he smiled, "That's a bad thing?"
Rachel smiled, "No, it sounds like heaven to me." Jordan kissed her again, and grabbed her in a hug that was strong. Rachel sighed as, once again, Jordan ended the kiss, "I'll never get over the fact that you make me melt when you kiss me."
Jordan laughed, "That's nice to know."
Rachel nodded, "You think so?" Jordan nodded, and Rachel relaxed in his grip, "Who do you think is trying to control Ryo?"
Jordan shrugged, "I'm not sure, but I definitely know she is the key to the Triforce." He paused, then continued, "I don't think we should tell Ryo right now, it would be too much for her." Rachel agreed and sighed.
"You make me feel safe." Rachel stated.
~**~
Ryo moaned as she came to. She felt a warmness, and scooted towards it. It moved, and she jumped.
Link woke to Ryo scooting even closer to him. He moved a little bit, and she jumped. He laughed, "Don't you have your defense up. . ."
Ryo relaxed as she realized it was just Link, "Link, did you die too?"
Link's yawn turned into a laugh, "You didn't die, and neither did I. Jordan just knocked you out to relieve you from your pain." He sat up and stretched. When his arms came down, they came around Ryo. He looked down at her.
Ryo closed her eyes, "Hold me tight Link, just for a little bit. . ." Link agreed, and held her in an unbreakable grip.
Link breathed in the scent of Ryo's hair, "You are safe with me, Ryo." He looked around for Rachel and Jordan, but didn't see them anywhere, "Ryo, do you know where Jordan and your cousin are?" Ryo shook her head, and Link sighed, "I don't see them."
Ryo kept her eyes closed, "They are probably off making out, or something worse." She felt all her problems melt away in Link's grip. She sighed, "You are making me become soft, you know that?"
Link laughed, "I know, and I don't mind the soft, caring Ryo. She is a little more lovable."
Ryo nodded, "Mhmm, well than, maybe I'll stay soft and caring."
Both then heard laughter, and Ryo opened her eyes. Rachel was laughing as Jordan told her a joke. Link yelled to the two, "Where have you been?"
"I've been to Jordan world and back." Rachel stated, trying to settle her laughter.
Ryo nodded, "Didn't I tell you they would be doing that?" Link laughed, and kissed Ryo on the head. Ryo yawned, "I'm awake now that I heard about your trip, and I think I'm going to be sick."
Rachel put her hands on her hips, "Just because we move faster than you and Fairy boy doesn't mean you have to get angry!"
Ryo stood up, her face flushed, "At least I. . ."
Rachel interrupted, "You what? Get to know a guy before you go all out with him. . . If I remember correctly, I have known Jordan since I was ten!"
Ryo's face got redder, "Well, I don't go all out with my guys! I'm saving myself for the one I will spend the rest of my life with!"
Rachel laughed, "I hit a soft spot! Your face is so red, it's redder than your fire!"
Link hugged Ryo so she wouldn't attack Rachel, "So much for my soft, caring Ryo. . ."
"Rachel! How could you say that about Ryo?" Jordan stated.
Rachel shrugged, "She just said the wrong thing to me."
Ryo's anger melted away in Link's grip, "Thank you, Link, I needed someone to hold me back." Link nodded and Ryo sighed, "My anger has melted away." She turned to Rachel, "Rach, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be saying that."
Rachel nodded, "It's ok, I've gotten over it." She put her hand out, "Truce?"
Ryo clasped hands with Rachel, "Truce." Ryo then whispered in Rachel's ear.
Rachel burst out laughing, and Link and Jordan were left not knowing what they were talking about. Rachel tried to calm her laughter down, "You are worse than me, Ryo!"
Link looked at Rachel, "What are you talking about?"
Rachel waved her hand, "Ryo just told me something. . ." She smiled, "Where are we going next on our adventure?"
Link shrugged, "I don't know. I never knew this was an adventure. . ."
Jordan laughed, "Everything is an adventure to Rachel. That's why I love her."
Rachel quickly looked at Ryo, "You are right Ryo." She laughed, "We are so lucky. We have the two best guys."
Link smiled, "If you two are done. . . I would like to say that we are going to the tavern in Castle Town. We'll spend the night there."
~**~
Link walked into the tavern, and was greeted by a woman a couple years older than Ryo, "Link, I was wondering when you would come back to me."
Ryo walked in and saw this. She clenched her fists in anger. Jordan saw this, and placed a hand on her shoulder, "I never would have thought you would get angry over a guy."
Rachel walked in, saw Link with the woman, and shook her head, "I can't believe you, Link! What about Ryo?"
Link pulled away from the woman, "Julie, I need a table for four."
The woman, Julie, looked at Ryo, "And I suppose you are his new love?"
Ryo stared right back at her, "Yes, I am!"
Julie directed them to a booth, and they sat down. Link smiled, "Four brandies please."
Julie walked off, and Ryo looked at Link, "What was that about?"
Link kissed Ryo's cheek, "She has had a crush on me for the longest time, but I have you."
Julie came back, and gave them their four brandies, "Can I get you anything else?"
Link nodded, "Yes, we need some rooms for the night. . ."
Julie turned on her heel, "They will be ready by the time you are done."
Rachel smiled, "Wow, you can underage drink here!"
Ryo rolled her eyes, "When did it stop you when there was a law?"
Rachel blushed, "Um, I don't know what you are talking about. . ."
Ryo took a sip of her brandy, "Oh, you don't?" Rachel shook her head, and Ryo smiled, "What about that party with Kevin?"
Rachel got defensive, "I only had one drink!" Ryo laughed, and Rachel then realized what she had just said, "I blew it. . ."
Ryo continued to laugh, "Yes you did." Ryo took another drink of her brandy, "This is good, it doesn't taste like the brandy we have."
Link smiled, "Just don't gulp it down, you won't know what hit you." Ryo continued to drink the brandy, and Link laughed at her, "You must really like it."
"Yes, it's really good." Ryo nodded. She then yawned.
Link smiled, "you drank too much too fast." Ryo laid her head on Link's shoulder.
"I couldn't help it, it was good." Ryo yawned. Her eyes felt heavy.
Rachel felt the same, "Jordan, I'm so tired."
Link laughed, "You two are so alike it isn't funny."
Ryo lifted her head, "Then why are you laughing?"
Link laughed at Ryo, "You are under the influence of the brandy." He saw Julie, "Julie, we are ready to go to our rooms."
Julie nodded, "Follow me." She led them up the steps, and down the hall to two doors, "The one on the right is for those two." She motioned to Rachel and Jordan. "The one on the left is for you two."
Link nodded, "Thank you, Julie."
Julie rolled her eyes as she turned and left, "Yeah, right."
Jordan took Rachel into their room, and Link helped Ryo into their room. Link laid Ryo on the bed, "In the morning you will feel the brandy. You'll have the worst headache. . ."
Ryo moaned, "Link, try to be quiet, I don't feel so great."
Link smiled, and took a pillow from the bed, "Have a good sleep. . ."
Ryo quickly looked at him, "Where are you going? Going to see Julie?"
Link looked at her, "No, Ryo, I was going to sleep on the floor. . ."
Ryo grabbed his arm, and winced at the effort, "Don't, I-I. . ." She blushed.
Link smiled, and replaced the pillow. He nodded as he sat on the bed, "I understand, Ryo." Link laid down on the pillow, and Ryo laid her head on his chest, "Is that better?" Ryo nodded, and soon was asleep. Link put his arm around her waist so she was close to him. He then let sleep take him.
~**~
Ryo awoke the next morning to a splitting headache. She moaned, and then felt an arm around her waist. She tried to remember what she had done last night, but nothing came to her mind.
Link awoke when Ryo had moaned, "Good morning, my love."
Ryo winced at the words. Her head hurt. She managed to ask, "Link, did we do anything last night?"
Link nodded, "Yes, we did. . ."
Ryo moaned, "No. . ."
"It's not what you think." Link reassured her, "We just cuddled together and fell asleep." He kissed her, "How do you feel?"
Ryo winced as she moved, "Why does my head feel like it is ripping in two?"
Link smiled, "You drank your brandy too fast last night."
Ryo sighed, "This is just between you and me. . . If we had done anything last night, I probably wouldn't regret it."
Link nodded, "I agree. . ."
Ryo smiled, "Next time then, we won't regret it either."
Link stood up, and caught Ryo when she fell trying to stand up, "You can't even stand."
Ryo pointed to her backpack, "Get in my backpack, and bring me the white bottle that has the word 'Aspirin' on it." Link did as he was told, and handed Ryo the bottle. She took a pill out, and took the glass of water that was on her bedside. She took the pill, and then gulped down a lot of water.
Link looked at her, "Are you going to be good enough for us to ride today?"
Ryo shrugged, "I don't know, I've never been hung over before." She sat back down on the bed, and then laid back down.
Link laughed, "Are you going back to bed?"
Ryo nodded, "Yes, why don't you join me, I'll take you up on that offer of doing something. . ."
Link looked at her, "Are you sure? I thought you were saving yourself for the one you will spend the rest of your life with."
Ryo smiled, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Hyrule is a lot better than home, and you are my dreams come true."
Link nodded, "Alright, but I warn you, you won't want to stop. . ."
Ryo laughed, "I'm warning you with the same thing."
~**~
Rachel awoke to be staring into Jordan's face. She smiled, and cuddled even closer to him. He awoke, and smiled back at her, "Was that good enough for you?"
Rachel laughed, "You cease to amaze me, Jordan, I don't think I have the strength to move."
Jordan smiled, "Lets just stay in bed for the day then. Link and Ryo wouldn't mind. . ." He laughed as he heard noises from the next room, "I think Ryo has finally given in."
Rachel laughed, "I knew it!" Jordan looked at her, and she just smiled, "Ryo told me she would love to do it with Link, and low and behold. . . There they go!"
"Ryo needed a man that would love her, and I think Link is probably the best one." Jordan smiled, and then kissed Rachel, "Go back to sleep, we can get some rest. They'll come and get us when they are done."
Rachel yawned, and then cuddled close to Jordan, "As long as you protect me. . ."
Jordan kissed her forehead, "I promised your parents I would never let you get hurt. They said I couldn't even let a man hurt your heart. I see that no man could hurt your heart, you would hurt theirs."
~**~
Roeticus looked into his crystal ball, "I can't find them. Maybe there is more to the other two than meets the eye. . ."
Kaysa looked at her father, "What do you mean, father?"
Roeticus sighed, "Maybe the other girl or man has a power to shield them. It must be the man, for the girl is the key's guardian."
Kaysa nodded, "Very good observation, father."
Roeticus shook his head, "I can't do anything until I know where they are!"
Kaysa smiled, "Relax father, they will show up soon."
~**~
Ryo let out a delighted sigh, "That was wonderful, Link."
Link kissed Ryo's forehead, "I agree. You are wonderful, my love." Link then got up, and started to get dressed, "Come, it's time for us to leave."
Ryo nodded, "Alright." She too got up and dressed. Link grabbed her from behind in a hug. She laughed, "I thought it was time to leave. . ."
Link kissed her neck, "I just can't deny you, Ryo. You are too beautiful. . ."
Ryo relaxed in his grip, "I'm glad we did that. . ."
Link nodded, "Me too. That was a wonderful experience for me." He let Ryo go, and walked over to her backpack, "I will carry your things, don't worry about them."
~**~
Rachel was awoken by Jordan, "Come on Rachel, Link and Ryo are ready to go."
Rachel yawned and stood up, "Alright. . ." She quickly got dressed, and grabbed her backpack, "I'm ready to leave."
Jordan kissed her, "You are so beautiful, Rachel."
They heard a knock at the door, "Are you two ready yet?"
Rachel laughed as they walked out into the hallway, "We are ready to go, Ryo." She winked at Ryo, and Ryo turned red.
Link nodded to Jordan, "You know exactly what we did, and you are happy." Ryo nodded, and Link smiled, "Lets get out of here."
Ryo smiled as they walked out of the tavern, "Last night was great, not to mention this morning."
Link nodded, "I agree."
Just then, a messenger came running towards them, "Master Link. . ." When he reached them, he took a deep breath, "The princess wishes to invite you to the palace."
Link nodded, "Thank you." He then smiled at Ryo, "I guess our next stop is the palace." All four of them started to walk to the palace.
When they reached the gate, the guard smiled, "Master Link, it's good to see you again." He let them through, and they walked inside the palace.
When in the throne room, Link bowed. Rachel and Jordan followed the example, but Ryo didn't bow. The princess smiled at Link, "Ah, Link, it's good to see you again."
Link nodded, "As you princess Zelda."
Zelda nodded, "Who are your friends?"
Link smiled as he motioned toward Rachel and Jordan, "This is Rachel and Jordan, and this is. . ."He motioned toward Ryo.
Ryo stared at Zelda, "Ryo, his love!"
Zelda was taken back, "She is your love?" Link nodded, and Zelda sighed, "I will have rooms set up for you. I am having my birthday party, and I would love for you to attend."
Link nodded, "We will." Zelda nodded, and had a servant escort them to their rooms.
When Ryo and Link were shown to their room, Ryo ran to the bathroom, "I can finally take a bath. . . I smell so bad."
"You don't smell. . ." Link started, but Ryo closed the bathroom door. He sighed, "Women. . ."
Ryo yelled from the closed bathroom door, "I heard that!"
Link walked to the door, and knocked, "Ryo, can I come in?"
He heard a muffled yes, so he opened the door. He smiled as he saw Ryo was in a bubble bath. She sighed, "This feels so good. . ."
"Better than us making love?" Link asked.
Ryo smiled, "No, not as good, but very close to it."
~**~
Kaysa bowed to her father, "I am leaving now for the princess's party."
Roeticus nodded, "Alright, have fun." Kaysa laughed as she walked out.

Ryo got out of the bath, and draped a towel around her. Link had returned to the bedroom, saying something about giving Ryo some peace. Ryo opened the door and looked around, trying to see where Link was, "Link. . ."
She walked the whole way out, and was grabbed in a hug from behind by Link, "I love you so much." He turned Ryo around to face him, "What are you going to wear?"
Ryo laughed, "What does it matter, I will still look better than the princess. . ." ~At least to Link, I hope so.~ She added to herself. She smiled, "Which should I wear?"
Link took the towel from Ryo, and she tried to cover herself up, "No, don't do that, I have to see what dress would go with you the best. . ."
Ryo sighed, "Sure you are. You just want to see me naked. You can't resist me."
Link smiled, "Is that so?" Ryo nodded, and he handed her the towel back, "We'll see if I can resist you. . ." She wrapped the towel around her again, and Link opened the bedroom door. He then shoved Ryo out into the hallway, only her towel to cover herself in.
She held onto the towel, "Link, let me back in! It's freezing out here! I will not give up, you can't resist me!"
Link talked from behind the shut door, "Oh, I can resist whoever I want. . . And right now that is you. Too bad for you it's cold. . ."
Ryo was desperate, she banged on the door, "Link, let me in! I can't go to the party like this. . ."
Link laughed, "I don't know, I think you would look great. . ." He heard whining, and stopped laughing, "Ryo, are you ok?"
Ryo cried, "I'm going to Rachel!" With that said, Link heard her bare footsteps against the cold stone floor. She walked down the hallway, shivering the whole way. She finally came to Rachel and Jordan's door. She knocked on it, "Rachel. . ."
The door opened to show Jordan standing in the doorway. He quickly turned away when he saw Ryo only had a towel, "Rachel is taking a bath, Ryo. What's wrong?"
"Link shoved me out into the hallway with just the towel to cover myself in. He did that because I said he couldn't resist me." Ryo shivered.
Jordan turned to the bathroom door, "Rachel, I'll be back in a little bit." He then put an arm around Ryo, "Come on." He walked down the hallway with Ryo.
~**~
Link heard a knock at his door, and quickly opened it, "Ryo. . ."
Zelda stood there, not Ryo, "Hello Link, may I come in?"
Link looked past Zelda to see if Ryo was coming back, "I'm waiting for. . ."
"Link, you deserve better. You could do better." Zelda said as she turned to look down the hall. She saw Ryo coming down the hall with Jordan and she smiled. She quickly kissed Link before he could stop her.
~**~
Ryo was brought to tears as she saw this. She stopped where she was, "No, I can't believe it!" She turned, and ran to Rachel's room.
Jordan's anger built up inside him as he continued to walk to Link. When he got to Link, Link had pulled away from Zelda. Jordan stared angrily at Link, "I hope you know how much you hurt Ryo just now!"
Link looked at Zelda, "You did that on purpose!" Zelda smiled and walked off.
Jordan shook his head, "You had better have a good excuse for Ryo!"
~**~
Ryo ran into Rachel's room, and slammed the door, sobbing. Rachel stood, dressed, looking at her cousin, "What is wrong?"
Ryo sobbed, "I saw Link kissing the princess. . ."
Rachel hugged her cousin, "Are you sure it was Link kissing her, or was it Zelda kissing Link?"
Both heard a knock at the door, "May I come in?"
Rachel frowned, "You will have to face him sooner or later." She nodded, "Yes, Link, you can come in."
Link opened the door, and shame and sadness filled his eyes, "Ryo. . ."
Ryo turned her head to him, "All that about loving me, and that I was beautiful. . . It was all a lie, wasn't it?"
Link walked over to her, and grabbed her in a hug, "No, it was all true. The princess did that so we would break up. She wants me, but I don't want her, I want you."
He dried her tears, and picked her up. She sniffed, "Can I come back into the room now?" Link nodded as he carried her back to their room.
Jordan walked in, and looked at Rachel. She looked back, "What did he tell you?"
Jordan smiled, "Zelda kissed him when he answered the door, thinking it was Ryo."
~**~
Ryo put her green dress on, and had Rachel braid two little braids in her hair by her ears. As Rachel did this, Link took Jordan into town, and they bought necklaces for the girls.
Link opened the door to his room, and almost dropped the necklace he had bought, "Ryo, you look so beautiful. That dress accents your black hair and brown eyes."
Ryo blushed, "You should see Rachel, She is quite beautiful herself."
Link held the necklace out to her, "I bought this for you. . ." The necklace had a teal stone embedded in the silver halter. He put it on her, and backed away to see if it looked good. He gasped, "You look so beautiful!"
Ryo felt the stone at her neck. It felt warm to the touch. She kissed Link, "Thank you, Link, I've never gotten a present like this before!"
~**~
Kaysa smiled at everyone at the party. Her smile disappeared as she saw Ryo, Link, Rachel, and Jordan enter the room. They were shown to their seats where they sat down.
Ryo kept turning her head in every direction. Rachel did this as well, but she gave the guys deadly stares. Link smiled, "What is wrong Ryo?"
Ryo turned to him, "Everyone won't stop looking at me."
Rachel smiled, "Don't worry, I'll fix that. . ." She turned and stared at everyone, "If you stare at my cousin anymore, I'll personally kill you!" Everyone turned away from Ryo.
Zelda entered, and everyone got quiet, except for Rachel and Jordan. Jordan nodded to Rachel, "You are right, Hyrule is way behind Earth. You're telling me they don't even know what a CD player is?"
Rachel nodded, "Yes, that's what I'm telling you. . . And their government is still run by a. . ." She trailed off as she noticed Ryo trying to tell her something, "What is it Ryo?"
Ryo whispered, "Princess Asshole has entered." Rachel burst out laughing, and then quieted down.
Zelda smiled, "Thank you for all coming to my party. . ."
Ryo fell asleep quickly from Zelda's speech. Rachel giggled, "We are live in the Hyrule Castle, at Zelda's birthday party. As you can see, the princess has started her speech, and the spectators have already lost interest. Right across from me is one of my associates, Ryo, she has fallen asleep, and to my left is another one of my associates, Jordan. Folks, I think he has. . . yes, he has started a crossword puzzle."
Jordan threw a little piece of paper at Ryo's head, hitting her on the nose. She woke up, "We're under attack! We need reinforcements!"
Jordan fell out of his chair laughing so hard. Rachel laughed also. Ryo looked around as everyone stared at her. Zelda had stopped her speech, and Link put his head in his hands. Jordan continued to laugh, "Ryo, you can lighten any mood!"
Ryo was clueless, "What happened, Link?"
Link moaned, "You just embarrassed us in front of everybody. . ."
Ryo looked at him, "Really?" He nodded, and Ryo smiled, "Cool!" Link couldn't help but laugh. Ryo was the only one that didn't laugh, "Go back to listening to the princess, folks, nothing to see or hear. Just practicing for our movie we are making. . ."
Link continued to laugh, "That is why I love you. You always seem to make me laugh."
Zelda sighed, "Let the festivities begin!"
Music started up, and Rachel moaned, "If this is what they call music, I'm afraid to know what they call swing."
Ryo smiled as Jordan pulled Rachel out onto the dancing floor. Link nodded his head, "Would you care to dance, my love?"
Ryo smiled, "I would love to. . ." Both went out onto the floor, and started to dance.
Kaysa saw Ryo and Link, and walked over to the two. She tapped on Link's shoulder, "Link, may I have this dance with you?"
Link looked at Ryo who shrugged, "Why not."
Ryo went to the side and sat down. Two men came over to her, "Hello, what is your name?"
Ryo looked around to see of they meant her. Seeing that she was the only one sitting where they were, she smiled, "My name is Ryo. . ."
One of the men had blue eyes and blond hair. The other had red hair and green eyes. The red headed one smiled, "I am Josh, and this is Telan."
Ryo looked to see if Link was done, and saw that he was still dancing. She nodded, "Nice to meet you." She shivered as she looked into Josh's eyes. She felt as if a cold winter blast hit her. She looked into Telan's eyes, and got the same feeling. She stood up, "Excuse me, but I have to go."
Link was done dancing, and walked over to Ryo, "Are you alright?"
Ryo shivered, "I don't feel so well. I feel sick."
Link nodded, "Lets go tell Rachel and Jordan, and then we can go to our room." Both went over to Rachel and Jordan. Link looked at Jordan, "We are going back to our room. You guys stay as long as you want. Ryo is feeling sick."
Rachel looked at Ryo, "Alright, just make sure she doesn't get too sick, alright Link?" Link nodded, and led Ryo up to their room.
~**~
Ryo yawned as she undressed, and got into the bed, "Link, those two men made me feel so afraid and cold."
Link nodded as he undressed also, "I understand. Don't worry, no one will harm you while I'm here and Rachel is along with us."
As Link got into bed, Ryo laid her head on his chest, "I feel so much better now."
Link smiled, "That is good, I was afraid you wouldn't be up to do anything tonight."
Ryo smiled as Link turned toward her, "I can't hide my love for you."
~**~
Rachel sighed as Jordan and her went to their room, "I'm beat, Jordan. I just want to lay down in bed, and have a warmth against my body."
Jordan laughed, "You danced a lot tonight. I hope Ryo is feeling alright." Both entered their room, and undressed. Jordan crawled in bed, "Rachel, are you going to join me?"
Rachel jumped in bed, "I wouldn't miss that opportunity for anything."
~**~
Kaysa walked into her father's crystal room, "Father, they are at the palace."
Roeticus smiled, "Good, it makes it all the easier."
~**~
That's it for chapter four. Tell me what you think of it. Tell me the truth, only my mother is allowed to tell me it's good. Please Read And Review!
Author's note: This chapter is pretty long, and it is romance. There is some action in it, but not much. My cousin told me to put some of the things in it. Enjoy. . .
Chapter Four
"Ryo, are you just going to stand there all day, or are we going to go into Hyrule Field?" Rachel asked her cousin who was taking one last look at Zora's Domain.
"Alright, I'm coming." Ryo smiled as Link put his arm around Ryo's waist.
He whispered in her ear, "I love you, Ryo."
Ryo laughed, "I know, and I return that love."
~**~
When in Hyrule Field, the sky darkened. Ryo looked around, and Link frowned, "This is what happened the day you guys appeared in Hyrule. . ."
As he said this, a swirl of wind appeared in the distance. Ghost, Epona, and Demon raced toward it. Demon was the first there, and both Ryo and Link heard Rachel scream in joy, "JORDAN!"
As Ryo and Link came to where Rachel was, they saw a blond haired blue eyed young man. He smiled at them, "Hello Ryo, its good to see you."
"Jordan, how did you get here?" Ryo asked.
Jordan shrugged, "I was going hiking and a wind picked up. . ."
Ryo nodded, "That's how we got here." She smiled, "Why were you going hiking by yourself?"
Jordan's blue eyes flashed, "My mother and I had an argument about my powers. . ." The sky darkened even more, and thunder could be heard in the distance.
Ryo shivered, and Rachel gave Jordan a stern face, "Jordan, you know Ryo is afraid of storms!"
Jordan's eyes lightened, and he looked at Ryo, "I'm sorry, Ryo, I forgot."
Link put a hand on Ryo's shoulder, "Are you alright, my love?"
Jordan shook his hands in front of him, "Wait. . . Ryo is in love?" He laughed, "I can't believe it. . ." He then noticed who Link was, "Is that Link. . ."
Rachel quickly nodded her head, "Yes, it is." She dismounted from Demon, and was grabbed in a hug by Jordan.
Ryo and Link dismounted also. Link sighed, "I guess this means we need to go weapon shopping again, not to mention he needs some new clothes."
~**~
In Castle town, they went to the weapon shop for Jordan. Link looked at Jordan, "Which weapon do you specialize with?"
Jordan shrugged, "A boomerang." Link handed him a bronze colored boomerang.
The man nodded, "That will be ninety rupees. . ."
Ryo clenched her fist, and it caught on fire, "If you say it, I will kill you right here and now."
Link paid the ninety rupees, and they all left. They then went to the clothes shop. Jordan got a bronze colored tunic, Link paid for that and they left.
Link looked at Jordan, "All you need now is a steed. . ."
Rachel nodded, "Yeah, but where are we going to get another horse?"
Link smiled, "Lon Lon Ranch."
~**~
On entering Lon Lon Ranch, they were greeted by a girl a little older than Ryo, "Link, how may I help you?"
Link smiled, "Malon, I was wondering if my friend could. . ."
"Oh! You're back!" Malon yelled as she ran towards Demon. Demon snorted and pranced.
Jordan dismounted from Demon, and walked to the corral. There was a gorgeous three-colored paint. He walked into the corral, and over to the stallion. The three-colored paint nudged him, and whinnied. Jordan rubbed his forehead, "Hey boy, how are you?"
Malon saw this and gasped, "You can go near him?"
Jordan nodded, "Yes, why?"
"He won't let anyone near him!" Malon stated.
Link smiled, "Malon, that is what we are here about, Jordan needs a horse. . ."
Malon nodded, "Take him, he respects you. He won't even let me near him."
Jordan smiled, "Hey Wild Wind. . ." He laughed as Wild Wind whinnied. Malon got him all he needed to ride Wild Wind. Jordan got Wild Wind ready, and mounted him.
~**~
Jordan laughed as their group rode out of Lon Lon Ranch, "This is great!"
Ryo smiled, "So his name is Wild Wind?"
Jordan nodded, "Yes, it is."
Link laughed, "Where should we go next?"
Jordan sat straight up in Wild Wind's saddle, "Lets go to Lake Hylia!"
Link nodded, "Alright, that's where we'll go next." He patted Epona's neck, "Lets go girl, to Lake Hylia."
~**~
Before they reached Lake Hylia, Ghost and Demon both stopped dead in their tracks. Ryo and Rachel tried to urge them to go, but they just snorted. Ghost then reared while Ryo had her guard down. She grabbed onto his mane to keep on his back, "Ghost!"
Rachel had the same problem with Demon, "Demon!"
Both Ryo and Rachel fell to the ground, hard. Rachel stood up, and dusted herself off. Link and Jordan were both laughing at the two of them. Rachel put her hands on her hips, "You think it's funny!"
Ryo shook her head to clear it, "Something is scaring them. . ."
Link looked at Ryo, "There is nothing here. . ."
As he said this, they heard a wolf howl, and it turned dark. After this happened, skeletons sprung up from the ground. Rachel clenched her sword hilt. Ryo drew her sword, and tightened her grip on the hilt. With that done, the blade caught on fire in a blaze. She waved it around, and Rachel smiled, "You know, if you do that fast enough, you could spell your name. . ."
Ryo growled, "These things aren't what got Demon and Ghost all worked up. These are just another notch in the stick for how many things we've beaten!"
Along with the skeletons, came creatures out of the shadows. Link quickly dismounted, "Some of those are Redead. . ."
Ryo ran towards them, "I don't care if they are the President of the United States, I am not going to let them hurt me!"
Link tried to stop Ryo, "No, Ryo, you can't attack them. . ."
Ryo didn't listen to Link, "I am not weak!" She brought her sword up to attack the Redead, "I'll show you I can handle myself. . ."
Jordan lunged for Ryo, and so did Link and Rachel. All three grabbed her around the waist. Ryo struggled against their grip, but all three pulled her away from the Redead. Rachel hit Ryo, "Come to your senses!"
Ryo stopped, "What just happened?"
Jordan's eyes flashed, and lightning lit up the sky, "You went crazy."
Ryo put her hands over her head to shield herself. Rachel looked at her, "That wasn't how Ryo reacts to things. . . Something was wrong."
Link brought Ryo into a hug, "Jordan, how long can you keep a storm going?"
Jordan smiled as the lightning increased and rain fell, "I can keep a storm going for as long as someone needs it to go on."
"Good, lets go." Link stated as he put Ryo on Ghost. Ghost nudged Link, and Link nodded, "Yes, Ghost, she will be alright." He then mounted Epona, and grabbed Ghost's reins. He then tied them to Epona's saddle.
Rachel wrinkled her nose as she mounted Demon, "Something weird is going on, and I don't like it!" She then smiled at Jordan, "It would be nice if we had some fog or mist to cover our tracks. . ."
Jordan smiled, "Way ahead of you." As he said this, a dense fog covered the ground, and wrapped around them. He too mounted Wild Wind, and they all rode off.
~**~
A dark character watched Ryo, Link, Rachel, and Jordan as they mounted their horses, "They have to be the ones. . ."
A young girl walked into the room that the character was in, "My lord, do you need anything?"
The character didn't take his eyes off of his crystal ball, "No, Kaysa, I don't need anything." He snorted in disgust, "My brother, Ganondorf, was weak to let that puny Link beat him."
The girl, Kaysa, nodded, "Yes my lord, I agree with you totally."
The character nodded, "One of those two girls is the key to the Triforce. . . Which one is it?"
Kaysa smiled, "I think time will tell, father."
He laughed, "You are my daughter, Kaysa."
Kaysa nodded, "Yes, father. Roeticus will rule Hyrule!"
Her father, Roeticus, nodded, "You will be the princess."
~**~
Link nodded to Jordan as they reached Lake Hylia, "You can stop the storm, Jordan."
Jordan smiled, "Alright, the storm will stop in three. . . two. . . one. . ." After one, the storm ceased.
Rachel looked at Ryo, "Link, is she going to be ok?"
Link looked at Ryo, "I don't know, Rachel. Only time will tell." He took Ryo off of Ghost, and set her down, "Ryo, are you alright?"
Ryo's eyes were glazed over. Rachel looked her straight in the eye, and gasped, "Link. . ."
Link looked at Rachel, "What is wrong?" Rachel pointed to Ryo's eyes, and Link stared into them. He backed away from Ryo, "The Triforce. . ."
"Why is her eyes the shape of the Triforce?" Rachel asked.
Link got over his shock, "I don't know."
Jordan nodded, "I do. . ."
Rachel and Link looked at him, "What?"
"She is the key to the Triforce." Jordan stated. He nodded, "She has to be. That is the only explanation I can think of."
Ryo closed her eyes, and shook her head. She then opened her eyes and saw all three looking at her, "What's wrong?"
Link looked her in the eye, and nodded, "I think you are right, Jordan, it isn't there anymore." He smiled at the puzzled look of Ryo, "I see you are ok. . ."
Ryo nodded as she put a hand to her forehead, "I guess so, but my head hurts."
Rachel laughed, "You don't remember anything, do you?"
Ryo shook her head, and Jordan smiled, "Well, we made it to Lake Hylia."
Ryo moaned, and she laid down, "For once, I want to just lie down and go to sleep. . ."
Rachel laughed, "Go on ahead, it wouldn't bother me. I'm going swimming, come on Jordan!" Both Jordan and her ran to the lake's edge. They dived in, clothes on.
Link sat down beside Ryo, "Are you sure you are alright?"
Ryo closed her eyes, "I don't know anymore." She opened them back up again, and sat up, "You don't have to stay here with me, I'm alright."
Link laughed, "I couldn't leave you if I wanted to." Ryo smiled, and laid back against Link's chest. Link breathed in the scent of Ryo's hair. It smelled of vanilla grass. He smiled, "Ryo. . ." He stopped as he noticed Ryo had fallen asleep. He shook his head, "She falls asleep easily. Its like she doesn't get enough sleep, and exhaustion over takes her." He kissed her head, and watched Rachel and Jordan kissing in the lake. He laughed, "Go somewhere else if you are going to do that. . ."
He stopped as an old man yelled out of the window of the laboratory, "Shut the Hell up! I am trying to research something, and your loud noises are distracting me!"
Ryo bolted awake, "NO!" She jumped out of Link's grip, and breathed heavily. She started to cry, "I couldn't save them. I went to that stupid movie!"
Link turned Ryo to face him, "What's wrong, my love?"
Ryo dug her face into Link's chest, "They murdered my parents, just so they could have me. It's all my fault. My father had made sure I was at that movie. He knew it was coming. . . Mom, she always did like to see me happy."
Link rubbed Ryo's back, "It's alright, I'm here for you."
"They wanted to test Rachel, they wanted to test me. We ran from them, always one step ahead of them. Dad knew how we had gotten our powers, but wouldn't tell anyone. He put three kids through tests. Those three kids were Rachel, Jordan, and I. We were special, we had powers that no other had. They killed dad because he wouldn't tell them. Mom stood beside him all the way." Ryo cried.
Rachel rushed over to Link, "What happened?"
Link shook his head, "She had fallen asleep, and when that old man yelled, she bolted out of her sleep."
Jordan rushed over, "What would cause her to go through the past she had pushed to the back of her mind?"
Ryo pulled away from Link, eyes the shape of the Triforce, "Dad was murdered by his lab associates." She went silent, and then shook her head. Her eyes returned to normal, and she looked at them all, "Stop staring at me! What is your problem?"
Rachel sighed, "This is too weird."
~**~
Roeticus watched with interest what was happening to the group at Lake Hylia, "I think I have found the key to the Triforce."
Kaysa looked into the crystal ball, "Which one is it?"
Roeticus pointed to Ryo, "She is the one, Kaysa. She is the key to my victory."
Kaysa laughed, "What are you going to do, father?"
Roeticus smiled, "I am going to try to take over her mind."
~**~
Ryo slammed her fist into the ground, "I am not weak! I do not cry!"
Link sighed, "Ryo, you were crying. Your tearstained cheeks are proof."
Rachel nodded, "It's true, Ryo, you were crying. I was shocked."
Ryo shook her head, "I don't care what you say, I do not cry!"
Jordan shook his head, "Ryo you were talking about how your parents were murdered. . ."
Ryo's flamed fist stopped right in front of Jordan's face, "Don't you Ever talk about that! I never want to hear you talk about it again. . . Understand Me?" Jordan nodded, and Ryo suddenly dropped her fist, "What is happening to me? I can't control my anger, fear, hate, or anything."
Link grabbed Ryo in a hug, "We'll figure out what's wrong with you, don't worry."
Ryo looked around as she heard a voice, "I can help you. . ."
"What?" Ryo asked.
"I can help you with your problem. Just trust me. . ."
"I don't trust anyone." Ryo stated seriously.
"You will obey me!" Ryo grabbed her head in pain.
"Link, help me!" Ryo yelled as she was in pain, "Someone is inside my head! They won't leave me alone! I can't take it!"
Link hugged Ryo tight, "Don't worry, you'll get through this, you are strong."
Ryo screamed in pain, "Someone kill me! I can't take it!" She grabbed the hilt of her sword, "If no one will, then I'll do it myself!"
Rachel grabbed the sword away from Ryo, "I can't let you do that. . ." Ryo swung at Rachel, trying to punch her.
Ryo screamed, "Please, just grant me this one favor, kill me!"
Jordan's eyes flashed, "Fine, I'll grant you this one favor!"
Rachel looked at Jordan, "NO Jordan! Don't kill her!"
Jordan punched Ryo in the stomach with such a force that she fell unconscious in Link's grip. Jordan looked at Rachel, "If she is unconscious, the person has no access to her mind. I would never kill Ryo. All three of us have been through too much."
Rachel looked at the unconscious Ryo, "Who has the power to get inside one of the toughest minds?"
Link shook his head, "That's what we have to find out."
~**~
Roeticus flew back in his chair, "She has a strong will. She doesn't want to be controlled. Before she went unconscious, I was beginning to loose control of myself. . ."
Kaysa dabbed her father's head with a wet cloth, "Don't worry father, she will fall to you."
~**~
Link clasped hands with Jordan, "Thank you, Jordan, you relieved Ryo of her pain." He then kissed Rachel on the cheek, "Thank you, Rachel, you kept Ryo from killing herself."
Rachel smiled, "I would never let my cousin die, never!"
Link kissed Ryo's forehead, "All we can do now is wait until she comes to."
Rachel nodded, "I guess so." She saw Link was straining with all his might to stay standing, "Link, why don't you lay down and rest? Jordan and I will watch." Link nodded, and laid down beside Ryo. In minutes he was asleep. Rachel laughed, "I guess it's just me and you, Jordan. . ."
Jordan kissed Rachel with passion. When he ended, he smiled, "That's a bad thing?"
Rachel smiled, "No, it sounds like heaven to me." Jordan kissed her again, and grabbed her in a hug that was strong. Rachel sighed as, once again, Jordan ended the kiss, "I'll never get over the fact that you make me melt when you kiss me."
Jordan laughed, "That's nice to know."
Rachel nodded, "You think so?" Jordan nodded, and Rachel relaxed in his grip, "Who do you think is trying to control Ryo?"
Jordan shrugged, "I'm not sure, but I definitely know she is the key to the Triforce." He paused, then continued, "I don't think we should tell Ryo right now, it would be too much for her." Rachel agreed and sighed.
"You make me feel safe." Rachel stated.
~**~
Ryo moaned as she came to. She felt a warmness, and scooted towards it. It moved, and she jumped.
Link woke to Ryo scooting even closer to him. He moved a little bit, and she jumped. He laughed, "Don't you have your defense up. . ."
Ryo relaxed as she realized it was just Link, "Link, did you die too?"
Link's yawn turned into a laugh, "You didn't die, and neither did I. Jordan just knocked you out to relieve you from your pain." He sat up and stretched. When his arms came down, they came around Ryo. He looked down at her.
Ryo closed her eyes, "Hold me tight Link, just for a little bit. . ." Link agreed, and held her in an unbreakable grip.
Link breathed in the scent of Ryo's hair, "You are safe with me, Ryo." He looked around for Rachel and Jordan, but didn't see them anywhere, "Ryo, do you know where Jordan and your cousin are?" Ryo shook her head, and Link sighed, "I don't see them."
Ryo kept her eyes closed, "They are probably off making out, or something worse." She felt all her problems melt away in Link's grip. She sighed, "You are making me become soft, you know that?"
Link laughed, "I know, and I don't mind the soft, caring Ryo. She is a little more lovable."
Ryo nodded, "Mhmm, well than, maybe I'll stay soft and caring."
Both then heard laughter, and Ryo opened her eyes. Rachel was laughing as Jordan told her a joke. Link yelled to the two, "Where have you been?"
"I've been to Jordan world and back." Rachel stated, trying to settle her laughter.
Ryo nodded, "Didn't I tell you they would be doing that?" Link laughed, and kissed Ryo on the head. Ryo yawned, "I'm awake now that I heard about your trip, and I think I'm going to be sick."
Rachel put her hands on her hips, "Just because we move faster than you and Fairy boy doesn't mean you have to get angry!"
Ryo stood up, her face flushed, "At least I. . ."
Rachel interrupted, "You what? Get to know a guy before you go all out with him. . . If I remember correctly, I have known Jordan since I was ten!"
Ryo's face got redder, "Well, I don't go all out with my guys! I'm saving myself for the one I will spend the rest of my life with!"
Rachel laughed, "I hit a soft spot! Your face is so red, it's redder than your fire!"
Link hugged Ryo so she wouldn't attack Rachel, "So much for my soft, caring Ryo. . ."
"Rachel! How could you say that about Ryo?" Jordan stated.
Rachel shrugged, "She just said the wrong thing to me."
Ryo's anger melted away in Link's grip, "Thank you, Link, I needed someone to hold me back." Link nodded and Ryo sighed, "My anger has melted away." She turned to Rachel, "Rach, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be saying that."
Rachel nodded, "It's ok, I've gotten over it." She put her hand out, "Truce?"
Ryo clasped hands with Rachel, "Truce." Ryo then whispered in Rachel's ear.
Rachel burst out laughing, and Link and Jordan were left not knowing what they were talking about. Rachel tried to calm her laughter down, "You are worse than me, Ryo!"
Link looked at Rachel, "What are you talking about?"
Rachel waved her hand, "Ryo just told me something. . ." She smiled, "Where are we going next on our adventure?"
Link shrugged, "I don't know. I never knew this was an adventure. . ."
Jordan laughed, "Everything is an adventure to Rachel. That's why I love her."
Rachel quickly looked at Ryo, "You are right Ryo." She laughed, "We are so lucky. We have the two best guys."
Link smiled, "If you two are done. . . I would like to say that we are going to the tavern in Castle Town. We'll spend the night there."
~**~
Link walked into the tavern, and was greeted by a woman a couple years older than Ryo, "Link, I was wondering when you would come back to me."
Ryo walked in and saw this. She clenched her fists in anger. Jordan saw this, and placed a hand on her shoulder, "I never would have thought you would get angry over a guy."
Rachel walked in, saw Link with the woman, and shook her head, "I can't believe you, Link! What about Ryo?"
Link pulled away from the woman, "Julie, I need a table for four."
The woman, Julie, looked at Ryo, "And I suppose you are his new love?"
Ryo stared right back at her, "Yes, I am!"
Julie directed them to a booth, and they sat down. Link smiled, "Four brandies please."
Julie walked off, and Ryo looked at Link, "What was that about?"
Link kissed Ryo's cheek, "She has had a crush on me for the longest time, but I have you."
Julie came back, and gave them their four brandies, "Can I get you anything else?"
Link nodded, "Yes, we need some rooms for the night. . ."
Julie turned on her heel, "They will be ready by the time you are done."
Rachel smiled, "Wow, you can underage drink here!"
Ryo rolled her eyes, "When did it stop you when there was a law?"
Rachel blushed, "Um, I don't know what you are talking about. . ."
Ryo took a sip of her brandy, "Oh, you don't?" Rachel shook her head, and Ryo smiled, "What about that party with Kevin?"
Rachel got defensive, "I only had one drink!" Ryo laughed, and Rachel then realized what she had just said, "I blew it. . ."
Ryo continued to laugh, "Yes you did." Ryo took another drink of her brandy, "This is good, it doesn't taste like the brandy we have."
Link smiled, "Just don't gulp it down, you won't know what hit you." Ryo continued to drink the brandy, and Link laughed at her, "You must really like it."
"Yes, it's really good." Ryo nodded. She then yawned.
Link smiled, "you drank too much too fast." Ryo laid her head on Link's shoulder.
"I couldn't help it, it was good." Ryo yawned. Her eyes felt heavy.
Rachel felt the same, "Jordan, I'm so tired."
Link laughed, "You two are so alike it isn't funny."
Ryo lifted her head, "Then why are you laughing?"
Link laughed at Ryo, "You are under the influence of the brandy." He saw Julie, "Julie, we are ready to go to our rooms."
Julie nodded, "Follow me." She led them up the steps, and down the hall to two doors, "The one on the right is for those two." She motioned to Rachel and Jordan. "The one on the left is for you two."
Link nodded, "Thank you, Julie."
Julie rolled her eyes as she turned and left, "Yeah, right."
Jordan took Rachel into their room, and Link helped Ryo into their room. Link laid Ryo on the bed, "In the morning you will feel the brandy. You'll have the worst headache. . ."
Ryo moaned, "Link, try to be quiet, I don't feel so great."
Link smiled, and took a pillow from the bed, "Have a good sleep. . ."
Ryo quickly looked at him, "Where are you going? Going to see Julie?"
Link looked at her, "No, Ryo, I was going to sleep on the floor. . ."
Ryo grabbed his arm, and winced at the effort, "Don't, I-I. . ." She blushed.
Link smiled, and replaced the pillow. He nodded as he sat on the bed, "I understand, Ryo." Link laid down on the pillow, and Ryo laid her head on his chest, "Is that better?" Ryo nodded, and soon was asleep. Link put his arm around her waist so she was close to him. He then let sleep take him.
~**~
Ryo awoke the next morning to a splitting headache. She moaned, and then felt an arm around her waist. She tried to remember what she had done last night, but nothing came to her mind.
Link awoke when Ryo had moaned, "Good morning, my love."
Ryo winced at the words. Her head hurt. She managed to ask, "Link, did we do anything last night?"
Link nodded, "Yes, we did. . ."
Ryo moaned, "No. . ."
"It's not what you think." Link reassured her, "We just cuddled together and fell asleep." He kissed her, "How do you feel?"
Ryo winced as she moved, "Why does my head feel like it is ripping in two?"
Link smiled, "You drank your brandy too fast last night."
Ryo sighed, "This is just between you and me. . . If we had done anything last night, I probably wouldn't regret it."
Link nodded, "I agree. . ."
Ryo smiled, "Next time then, we won't regret it either."
Link stood up, and caught Ryo when she fell trying to stand up, "You can't even stand."
Ryo pointed to her backpack, "Get in my backpack, and bring me the white bottle that has the word 'Aspirin' on it." Link did as he was told, and handed Ryo the bottle. She took a pill out, and took the glass of water that was on her bedside. She took the pill, and then gulped down a lot of water.
Link looked at her, "Are you going to be good enough for us to ride today?"
Ryo shrugged, "I don't know, I've never been hung over before." She sat back down on the bed, and then laid back down.
Link laughed, "Are you going back to bed?"
Ryo nodded, "Yes, why don't you join me, I'll take you up on that offer of doing something. . ."
Link looked at her, "Are you sure? I thought you were saving yourself for the one you will spend the rest of your life with."
Ryo smiled, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Hyrule is a lot better than home, and you are my dreams come true."
Link nodded, "Alright, but I warn you, you won't want to stop. . ."
Ryo laughed, "I'm warning you with the same thing."
~**~
Rachel awoke to be staring into Jordan's face. She smiled, and cuddled even closer to him. He awoke, and smiled back at her, "Was that good enough for you?"
Rachel laughed, "You cease to amaze me, Jordan, I don't think I have the strength to move."
Jordan smiled, "Lets just stay in bed for the day then. Link and Ryo wouldn't mind. . ." He laughed as he heard noises from the next room, "I think Ryo has finally given in."
Rachel laughed, "I knew it!" Jordan looked at her, and she just smiled, "Ryo told me she would love to do it with Link, and low and behold. . . There they go!"
"Ryo needed a man that would love her, and I think Link is probably the best one." Jordan smiled, and then kissed Rachel, "Go back to sleep, we can get some rest. They'll come and get us when they are done."
Rachel yawned, and then cuddled close to Jordan, "As long as you protect me. . ."
Jordan kissed her forehead, "I promised your parents I would never let you get hurt. They said I couldn't even let a man hurt your heart. I see that no man could hurt your heart, you would hurt theirs."
~**~
Roeticus looked into his crystal ball, "I can't find them. Maybe there is more to the other two than meets the eye. . ."
Kaysa looked at her father, "What do you mean, father?"
Roeticus sighed, "Maybe the other girl or man has a power to shield them. It must be the man, for the girl is the key's guardian."
Kaysa nodded, "Very good observation, father."
Roeticus shook his head, "I can't do anything until I know where they are!"
Kaysa smiled, "Relax father, they will show up soon."
~**~
Ryo let out a delighted sigh, "That was wonderful, Link."
Link kissed Ryo's forehead, "I agree. You are wonderful, my love." Link then got up, and started to get dressed, "Come, it's time for us to leave."
Ryo nodded, "Alright." She too got up and dressed. Link grabbed her from behind in a hug. She laughed, "I thought it was time to leave. . ."
Link kissed her neck, "I just can't deny you, Ryo. You are too beautiful. . ."
Ryo relaxed in his grip, "I'm glad we did that. . ."
Link nodded, "Me too. That was a wonderful experience for me." He let Ryo go, and walked over to her backpack, "I will carry your things, don't worry about them."
~**~
Rachel was awoken by Jordan, "Come on Rachel, Link and Ryo are ready to go."
Rachel yawned and stood up, "Alright. . ." She quickly got dressed, and grabbed her backpack, "I'm ready to leave."
Jordan kissed her, "You are so beautiful, Rachel."
They heard a knock at the door, "Are you two ready yet?"
Rachel laughed as they walked out into the hallway, "We are ready to go, Ryo." She winked at Ryo, and Ryo turned red.
Link nodded to Jordan, "You know exactly what we did, and you are happy." Ryo nodded, and Link smiled, "Lets get out of here."
Ryo smiled as they walked out of the tavern, "Last night was great, not to mention this morning."
Link nodded, "I agree."
Just then, a messenger came running towards them, "Master Link. . ." When he reached them, he took a deep breath, "The princess wishes to invite you to the palace."
Link nodded, "Thank you." He then smiled at Ryo, "I guess our next stop is the palace." All four of them started to walk to the palace.
When they reached the gate, the guard smiled, "Master Link, it's good to see you again." He let them through, and they walked inside the palace.
When in the throne room, Link bowed. Rachel and Jordan followed the example, but Ryo didn't bow. The princess smiled at Link, "Ah, Link, it's good to see you again."
Link nodded, "As you princess Zelda."
Zelda nodded, "Who are your friends?"
Link smiled as he motioned toward Rachel and Jordan, "This is Rachel and Jordan, and this is. . ."He motioned toward Ryo.
Ryo stared at Zelda, "Ryo, his love!"
Zelda was taken back, "She is your love?" Link nodded, and Zelda sighed, "I will have rooms set up for you. I am having my birthday party, and I would love for you to attend."
Link nodded, "We will." Zelda nodded, and had a servant escort them to their rooms.
When Ryo and Link were shown to their room, Ryo ran to the bathroom, "I can finally take a bath. . . I smell so bad."
"You don't smell. . ." Link started, but Ryo closed the bathroom door. He sighed, "Women. . ."
Ryo yelled from the closed bathroom door, "I heard that!"
Link walked to the door, and knocked, "Ryo, can I come in?"
He heard a muffled yes, so he opened the door. He smiled as he saw Ryo was in a bubble bath. She sighed, "This feels so good. . ."
"Better than us making love?" Link asked.
Ryo smiled, "No, not as good, but very close to it."
~**~
Kaysa bowed to her father, "I am leaving now for the princess's party."
Roeticus nodded, "Alright, have fun." Kaysa laughed as she walked out.
~**~
Ryo got out of the bath, and draped a towel around her. Link had returned to the bedroom, saying something about giving Ryo some peace. Ryo opened the door and looked around, trying to see where Link was, "Link. . ."
She walked the whole way out, and was grabbed in a hug from behind by Link, "I love you so much." He turned Ryo around to face him, "What are you going to wear?"
Ryo laughed, "What does it matter, I will still look better than the princess. . ." ~At least to Link, I hope so.~ She added to herself. She smiled, "Which should I wear?"
Link took the towel from Ryo, and she tried to cover herself up, "No, don't do that, I have to see what dress would go with you the best. . ."
Ryo sighed, "Sure you are. You just want to see me naked. You can't resist me."
Link smiled, "Is that so?" Ryo nodded, and he handed her the towel back, "We'll see if I can resist you. . ." She wrapped the towel around her again, and Link opened the bedroom door. He then shoved Ryo out into the hallway, only her towel to cover herself in.
She held onto the towel, "Link, let me back in! It's freezing out here! I will not give up, you can't resist me!"
Link talked from behind the shut door, "Oh, I can resist whoever I want. . . And right now that is you. Too bad for you it's cold. . ."
Ryo was desperate, she banged on the door, "Link, let me in! I can't go to the party like this. . ."
Link laughed, "I don't know, I think you would look great. . ." He heard whining, and stopped laughing, "Ryo, are you ok?"
Ryo cried, "I'm going to Rachel!" With that said, Link heard her bare footsteps against the cold stone floor. She walked down the hallway, shivering the whole way. She finally came to Rachel and Jordan's door. She knocked on it, "Rachel. . ."
The door opened to show Jordan standing in the doorway. He quickly turned away when he saw Ryo only had a towel, "Rachel is taking a bath, Ryo. What's wrong?"
"Link shoved me out into the hallway with just the towel to cover myself in. He did that because I said he couldn't resist me." Ryo shivered.
Jordan turned to the bathroom door, "Rachel, I'll be back in a little bit." He then put an arm around Ryo, "Come on." He walked down the hallway with Ryo.
~**~
Link heard a knock at his door, and quickly opened it, "Ryo. . ."
Zelda stood there, not Ryo, "Hello Link, may I come in?"
Link looked past Zelda to see if Ryo was coming back, "I'm waiting for. . ."
"Link, you deserve better. You could do better." Zelda said as she turned to look down the hall. She saw Ryo coming down the hall with Jordan and she smiled. She quickly kissed Link before he could stop her.
~**~
Ryo was brought to tears as she saw this. She stopped where she was, "No, I can't believe it!" She turned, and ran to Rachel's room.
Jordan's anger built up inside him as he continued to walk to Link. When he got to Link, Link had pulled away from Zelda. Jordan stared angrily at Link, "I hope you know how much you hurt Ryo just now!"
Link looked at Zelda, "You did that on purpose!" Zelda smiled and walked off.
Jordan shook his head, "You had better have a good excuse for Ryo!"
~**~
Ryo ran into Rachel's room, and slammed the door, sobbing. Rachel stood, dressed, looking at her cousin, "What is wrong?"
Ryo sobbed, "I saw Link kissing the princess. . ."
Rachel hugged her cousin, "Are you sure it was Link kissing her, or was it Zelda kissing Link?"
Both heard a knock at the door, "May I come in?"
Rachel frowned, "You will have to face him sooner or later." She nodded, "Yes, Link, you can come in."
Link opened the door, and shame and sadness filled his eyes, "Ryo. . ."
Ryo turned her head to him, "All that about loving me, and that I was beautiful. . . It was all a lie, wasn't it?"
Link walked over to her, and grabbed her in a hug, "No, it was all true. The princess did that so we would break up. She wants me, but I don't want her, I want you."
He dried her tears, and picked her up. She sniffed, "Can I come back into the room now?" Link nodded as he carried her back to their room.
Jordan walked in, and looked at Rachel. She looked back, "What did he tell you?"
Jordan smiled, "Zelda kissed him when he answered the door, thinking it was Ryo."
~**~
Ryo put her green dress on, and had Rachel braid two little braids in her hair by her ears. As Rachel did this, Link took Jordan into town, and they bought necklaces for the girls.
Link opened the door to his room, and almost dropped the necklace he had bought, "Ryo, you look so beautiful. That dress accents your black hair and brown eyes."
Ryo blushed, "You should see Rachel, She is quite beautiful herself."
Link held the necklace out to her, "I bought this for you. . ." The necklace had a teal stone embedded in the silver halter. He put it on her, and backed away to see if it looked good. He gasped, "You look so beautiful!"
Ryo felt the stone at her neck. It felt warm to the touch. She kissed Link, "Thank you, Link, I've never gotten a present like this before!"
~**~
Kaysa smiled at everyone at the party. Her smile disappeared as she saw Ryo, Link, Rachel, and Jordan enter the room. They were shown to their seats where they sat down.
Ryo kept turning her head in every direction. Rachel did this as well, but she gave the guys deadly stares. Link smiled, "What is wrong Ryo?"
Ryo turned to him, "Everyone won't stop looking at me."
Rachel smiled, "Don't worry, I'll fix that. . ." She turned and stared at everyone, "If you stare at my cousin anymore, I'll personally kill you!" Everyone turned away from Ryo.
Zelda entered, and everyone got quiet, except for Rachel and Jordan. Jordan nodded to Rachel, "You are right, Hyrule is way behind Earth. You're telling me they don't even know what a CD player is?"
Rachel nodded, "Yes, that's what I'm telling you. . . And their government is still run by a. . ." She trailed off as she noticed Ryo trying to tell her something, "What is it Ryo?"
Ryo whispered, "Princess Asshole has entered." Rachel burst out laughing, and then quieted down.
Zelda smiled, "Thank you for all coming to my party. . ."
Ryo fell asleep quickly from Zelda's speech. Rachel giggled, "We are live in the Hyrule Castle, at Zelda's birthday party. As you can see, the princess has started her speech, and the spectators have already lost interest. Right across from me is one of my associates, Ryo, she has fallen asleep, and to my left is another one of my associates, Jordan. Folks, I think he has. . . yes, he has started a crossword puzzle."
Jordan threw a little piece of paper at Ryo's head, hitting her on the nose. She woke up, "We're under attack! We need reinforcements!"
Jordan fell out of his chair laughing so hard. Rachel laughed also. Ryo looked around as everyone stared at her. Zelda had stopped her speech, and Link put his head in his hands. Jordan continued to laugh, "Ryo, you can lighten any mood!"
Ryo was clueless, "What happened, Link?"
Link moaned, "You just embarrassed us in front of everybody. . ."
Ryo looked at him, "Really?" He nodded, and Ryo smiled, "Cool!" Link couldn't help but laugh. Ryo was the only one that didn't laugh, "Go back to listening to the princess, folks, nothing to see or hear. Just practicing for our movie we are making. . ."
Link continued to laugh, "That is why I love you. You always seem to make me laugh."
Zelda sighed, "Let the festivities begin!"
Music started up, and Rachel moaned, "If this is what they call music, I'm afraid to know what they call swing."
Ryo smiled as Jordan pulled Rachel out onto the dancing floor. Link nodded his head, "Would you care to dance, my love?"
Ryo smiled, "I would love to. . ." Both went out onto the floor, and started to dance.
Kaysa saw Ryo and Link, and walked over to the two. She tapped on Link's shoulder, "Link, may I have this dance with you?"
Link looked at Ryo who shrugged, "Why not."
Ryo went to the side and sat down. Two men came over to her, "Hello, what is your name?"
Ryo looked around to see of they meant her. Seeing that she was the only one sitting where they were, she smiled, "My name is Ryo. . ."
One of the men had blue eyes and blond hair. The other had red hair and green eyes. The red headed one smiled, "I am Josh, and this is Telan."
Ryo looked to see if Link was done, and saw that he was still dancing. She nodded, "Nice to meet you." She shivered as she looked into Josh's eyes. She felt as if a cold winter blast hit her. She looked into Telan's eyes, and got the same feeling. She stood up, "Excuse me, but I have to go."
Link was done dancing, and walked over to Ryo, "Are you alright?"
Ryo shivered, "I don't feel so well. I feel sick."
Link nodded, "Lets go tell Rachel and Jordan, and then we can go to our room." Both went over to Rachel and Jordan. Link looked at Jordan, "We are going back to our room. You guys stay as long as you want. Ryo is feeling sick."
Rachel looked at Ryo, "Alright, just make sure she doesn't get too sick, alright Link?" Link nodded, and led Ryo up to their room.
~**~
Ryo yawned as she undressed, and got into the bed, "Link, those two men made me feel so afraid and cold."
Link nodded as he undressed also, "I understand. Don't worry, no one will harm you while I'm here and Rachel is along with us."
As Link got into bed, Ryo laid her head on his chest, "I feel so much better now."
Link smiled, "That is good, I was afraid you wouldn't be up to do anything tonight."
Ryo smiled as Link turned toward her, "I can't hide my love for you."
~**~
Rachel sighed as Jordan and her went to their room, "I'm beat, Jordan. I just want to lay down in bed, and have a warmth against my body."
Jordan laughed, "You danced a lot tonight. I hope Ryo is feeling alright." Both entered their room, and undressed. Jordan crawled in bed, "Rachel, are you going to join me?"
Rachel jumped in bed, "I wouldn't miss that opportunity for anything."
~**~
Kaysa walked into her father's crystal room, "Father, they are at the palace."
Roeticus smiled, "Good, it makes it all the easier."
~**~
