Okay…I know it's been four months.  Sorry about the lack of updates.  I guess I'm lazy.  Truthfully, Akira will tell you, this has been written since practically the beginning of the year.  But I hate typing things up.  As she would also tell you.

-_-;;

Well, it's written now.  And it's longer on its own that the other two parts.  So…happy?  I hope so.  I think this chapter is probably the better of the ones I have so far, because I didn't re-write this one, it's totally new.  Wow, it feels so good to finally explain my character.  She's crazy.  Well, not yet she's not.  And I'll bet you'll never guess her name.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this!

~*~

I watched idly from above as Link battled with the big-giant spiders, which had dropped down in front of him, using a mix of his sword, his slingshot, and running.  In the end he stuck to his sword, since it didn't require ammo, and he could actually use it.  He still wasn't terribly good with his slingshot.

"His aim's gotten better."

Marginally.  But that's still a relief.

"Yeah.  I guess Navi's 'drilling' worked well."  After finally getting out of the room in which Link had spent a good hour trying to shoot the ladder, Navi had subjected him to her own version of target practice.  With a lack of a better target, she had used herself.  I honestly liked the fairy at that moment. . .I had been considering helping out, but why bother when Navi would do it?  The poor fairy was exceedingly bruised and in a bad mood, but since Link was now accurate, she seemed proud of herself.  A fair trade.

Navi will be a good partner for Link.

"No, you idiot!"  Navi whacked Link on the head, which looked like she had just flown-full force into him.  But it had been a whack.  Fairies are confusing.  "You've holding the slingshot backwards!  Idiot!"

Kailua nodded.  "If they kill each other from frustration, or from a lack of things to do first, that is."  Navi continued to hit him, and he tried to swat her like an ordinary fly or something.  "I bet they'll get along after the curse is broken.  Navi is stressed for the Great Deku Tree, this is Link's first real test, and. . .well, stakes are high."

And they only get higher.

"Pessimist."

I never said they wouldn't get along.

Kailua sighed.  "Nothing bonds like a life-threatening experience."

Exactly.

Link finished the fight off by switching his slingshot to face the right way, and then destroying the spider and picking up a rupee.  He walked down the wooden plank, and looked down from the top.  I swooped down from my perch, and melted back into myself before Link could see me.  As soon as he located me, I was sitting on another plank, looking down and swinging my legs.

"Do you just honestly enjoy following me around, or do you have nothing better to do?"

"Don't flatter yourself, fairy boy.  I have plenty of stuff to be doing, but this is more interesting."  Why was he angry with me?  "And I don't really want the Great Deku Tree to die, either."  Actually, that might be nice…

"You always follow me."

"Got proof?"

"You're always behind me.  Looking out for me.  Even when I thought I had lost you."

"I know.  And I've helped you a lot more than you think, too.  You don't always notice me.  I lost count of how many times you owe me your life.  I've wasted a lot of arrows on you, boy."

"Stop calling me boy."

"Fine.  Link."

". . .You don't think I can do it on my own, do you?"

"I don't know.  I don't want to know."  I was afraid.  Afraid of the answer to that question.  Afraid that if I didn't follow him around everywhere he went, that he would disappear.  That he would just fade out of my life and I'd never see him again, or he'd die and one day I'd stumble across his body.  He was the only other Hylian I'd ever known.  I didn't want him to die.  "I trust you.  It's the rest of the world I don't trust."

Link nodded, and stood up.  I looked at him, and then back down at the spider web underneath us.  It was a long fall.  "I don't mind you following me.  But stop helping me.  Let me lead my own battles.  I need to learn on my own, don't I?"

". . .You're not going to make me stop worrying by asking, Link.  And I'm not gonna stop following you simply because you asked.  But. . .if you insist. . .I'll only help you when I think you need it."

He sighed.  He probably realized I wouldn't let him go, simply because he wanted to be given a little freer reign.  I watched as he turned and jumped off of the plank, heading towards the spider web under us.  I wasn't sure if he had realized the thing wouldn't hold his weight plus his momentum, but I guess he figured it out.

"So, I guess we gotta leave him alone now.  What a shame. . .come on, let's go pick some nuts or something."

I snorted.  "Of course we're not leaving him alone.  Just because he asked doesn't mean I'm gonna let him off the hook.  I said I'd protect him, and I will.  No matter what it takes, because if I'm gonna die forgotten, I'd better die well.  Would you rather me die alone on a beach or something, or making sure all of the hopes for Hyrule live?"  I smiled.  "I set my course a long time ago."

". . .You'd think you were a sage or something. . ."

I looked down over the edge of the platform.  The spider web was broken, and the water far below was no longer rippling.  Link was gone.  I prepared to jump off the edge, but I heard Kailua quietly ask me not to.  "Ang, you're only ten.  You're. . .just a little girl. . ."

I smiled.  I sat down, and looked down at the water.  "There's a song, Kai that I have sung for you before.  Do you remember the one I'm talking about?"

"You've sung maybe. . .eighty songs?"

"Little boy, little girl…

Ten years old with empty hands,

Has to beg, has to steal

No one knows just how she feels

Momma cracks, Daddy cracks,

Little girl, can't go back,

All alone, she's all alone,

Little girl, childhood gone…"

(A/N: Please, these lyrics were not written by me, they are part of a song, but it's really not well known. . .I can show you were to find them if you wanna know.) Kailua sighed.  "I remember it. . .but, Ang, please. . ."

"No."  I jumped off the edge, and let myself turn into a hawk.  No one understands.  Kai doesn't understand.  No one really knows what the future has in store for me…so maybe the book is wrong.  Maybe I won't die alone and forgotten.  I hit the water, and pulled myself out of the water, coughing up some of the water I had swallowed by accident.

I wanted to help you…and I vowed that I would help you, Link.  No matter what happens…I intend to help you.  My intention will always be good.

~*~

This is a really uncomfortable perch.

Kai looked at like as if I were the biggest dolt she had ever had the misfortune of knowing.  "Well, then don't sit there."

I have to sit here.  There are no other perches that are out of the way yet still have a very good view of what's going on.  I need to make sure I still can see Link, and that he doesn't see me.  The source of this stupid curse must be nearby.

"Why do you saw that?"

You remember how Link used to shake whenever he had nightmares about the evil side?  And how he'd shake?  Look at him…he's not afraid, but his body is shaking.  The evil energy around here is pretty high.

"Aren't you sensitive to that kind of stuff?"

Not as sensitive as Link.

Kailua stared at him in surprised, and then finally nodded.  "You're right, Ang.  I can see him shaking, but I don't think he's afraid.  His reaction is totally unconscious…I doubt think he actually realizes the amount of evilness in this place."

We watched in silence as Link deflected the nuts back at the Deku in perfect order.  The second, third, and first.  He always had a perfect memory of infantile tasks, like the ones Mido would ask him to do.  The last Deku scrub gave him a clue, and then ran off.

…You know, I could have told him to strike Gohma will she was down.

"Aren't you special."

I looked around the dank cave once more, hoping there might have been something I could help him with.  However, the water attracted my attention.  I didn't like it.  The water looked evil, smelled evil, reflected light evilly…even Kailua didn't like it.  Link was already dry, after only a minute of walking around, doing nothing.  It wasn't…natural.  I knew water.  Eviiiiiiiil water.

Kai looked at me and just shook her head.  "…If you don't shut up with the water, I'm gonna push you in it."

But look at it!  It's all…evil…and not good!

"…Just shut up."

As Link opened the door and began to walk into Gohma's layer, Kai and I dived off our perch and skimmed the ground, following him.  He let the door drift shut behind him, so we managed to still fly through the door.

As soon as Link stepped into the big chamber in front of him, a wall literally dropped behind him.

Holy shit!  Pull up, pull up!

Kai pulled to a stop instantly-most fairies could do that, being so small and used to flying-but a hawk can't hover.  So I had to fly in small circles for nearly thirty seconds, trying to slow down enough to stop.  Kai laughed as I finally ended up crash landing.

"…That hurt."

Kai nodded, and looked at the door.  "I guess since we got all the way here, you've not going to let us leave without going in?"

"Nope."

"Here I was, thinking Link had asked us to stop following him. . ."

"He did.  But I'm not going to stop following him because I know him.  He'll need my help at some point, even if he won't admit it.  So I gotta follow him and make sure I'm there when he needs my help."  I rapped on the wall, and groaned.  "Solid."

"What did you think it was, made of mud?"

"No. . .but it were hollow, I could peck a hole in it or something."

Kai sighed.  "I guess there's no harm in watching him fight.  Well, I don't know how to get in, but I'm sure we can use your ability to get in somehow.  There aren't any cracks in the walls, and it's a solid seal.  So no animal I know of could get you into that room."

"That mean's I'm screwed.  I can only turn into living animals.  I can't turn into a shovel or something and get you to dig a hole.  Not that you could lift me if I did."

"So we think of something else."

"There's no way I can use my ability to get me through this!  I'm sick of being so helpless!"

"You can turn into mythical creatures, right?"

"Yeah, but how does that help me?"

"Well. . .I think we can bend the rules a little with your melting.  Technically, you can only become animals that are alive.  But that doesn't mean they'd actually have to exist.  I've seen you become a dragon, but I've certainly never seen a real dragon."

"Ok.  I still don't see where you're going with this.  There's no mythical creature I know of that can go through solid rock."

"Don't you get it?  Maybe you're really creating those animals, not taking dead animals!  That means you could. . .you could create a race of. . .of living chairs!"

I blinked.  "Kai, you feeling okay?"

"You're missing the point!  You could create something that would get you through the door or under the door!  Like some kind of super-mole or something?"

"I still think you're coming down with something."  I looked at the door, and sat down.  "But you've got a point.  I don't want to use a mole. . .I'm used to the skies, being enclosed liked that isn't at all fun for me.  What else could I use?"

"I don't know; you think."  We sat and thought for several minutes, debated over strange things, such as if a normal mole could swim anywhere near as quickly as a super-mole, and why a mole would be swimming in the first place.  Suddenly, there was a loud thud against the nearby wall, and a rather eerie silence, broken only by a strange chattering noise.

"Link?"

"Whatever's in there must be getting the better of him. . ."

 I looked around in frustration.  "What am I supposed to do?"  I stared angrily at the wall.  There wasn't a way through it, unless I could become a ghost.  Only they were technically dead, and this wasn't the time to be playing.  I could feel myself practically shaking with anger.

From what seemed to be far off, I could hear Kai asking me something about if I was okay.  But I wasn't listening to her.  I could her the blood rushing through my head, I could feel my hands clenching almost too tightly.

I screamed.

I don't know what was going on, but it was obviously a lot.  Kai was trying to catch my attention and practically writhing in pain, there were rocks all over the place. . .it was so confusing.  But it just felt good to scream.

I abruptly stopped as I realized I wasn't actually breathing any more.  I took in gasps of air, feeling my vision swim, and trying to make sense out of what had just happened.  I idly noticed that the wall I had been standing in front of no longer existed.

Did I use enough air to make myself come close to fainting?

I looked at Kai, who was staring at me like I was. . .a freak.  "What. . .what just. . ."

"You broke the wall down with your voice. . ." Kai looked ahead, trying to forget whatever it was that had just happened.  "Look!  Link is over there!"

I looked over, and saw Link, with Navi floating around his head.  He was looking at me with a mixture of annoyance, surprise, and what appeared to be almost amusement.  "Kai. . .what is the point of this room?"  I could feel evil energy practically flowing from the room, but I didn't see anything except Link and mist.

I looked up.

There was a spider.  That was the nicest way to describe the freakish thing I saw hanging on the ceiling.  It was making almost squishing noises as it moved quickly across the ceiling, before spotting me.  Before I even knew how to react, it was falling, right on top of me.  Without thinking, I jumped to the side and rolled, my quiver in hand before I even realized I would need it.  The thing opened its eye and looked at me.  Without even realizing what I was doing, I shot it.  It reared back in pain and ran towards the wall, and climbed.  I watched the path of neon-bluish liquid trailing it.  …Blood?

"Kai?  What is that thing?"

Kailua stiffened, scanning through her memory for the information.  At last, she mechanically replied "Queen Gohma.  The tracked source of the curse placed on the Great Deku Tree.  A large spider that hangs from the ceiling to launch surprise attacks.  Her weaknesses are her overly sensitive eyes."

I frowned.  ". . .Haven't I fought this before?"

"Yes.  You have encountered approximately three Queen Gohma previous to this attack."

I looked at Kai and sighed.  ". . .Oh."  I ran over to Link, deciding if the thing wanted to stay on the ceiling, it was more than welcome to do so.  "Link!  Are you okay?"

I skidded to a stop a foot away from her, blowing the mist in crazy direction.  He shook his head at me.  "Shadow. . ." I grinned.

"That'd be me!"

"I told you to stay away!"  He glared at me, obviously pretty damn pissed.  I took a hesitant step back."

"B-but I just wanted t-to help you out, Link. . ."

"I don't want your help."

"You need it!"

He sighed.  "You're getting overly emotional.  I'll fight on my own.  I have a fairy now.  I can be on my own."

"Having a fairy doesn't make you stronger!  It only means you have someone to hang around and help out a little bit!  Fairies can't fight!"  I could feel Kai and Navi give me a cold glare, but I continued to look helplessly at Link.  "Come on!  You can't do this on your own!"

"It appeared to me that I was managing on my own before you came."  I opened my mouth to protest.  "Don't you get it?  It's dangerous here!  I don't need to worry about myself and you!"

"I came here on my own free will!"

"And I'm telling you to get out of her on your own free will!"

"Link!  Watch out!"

We both turned around at Navi's warning and up.  Gohma was dropping something from the ceiling.  "Crap."

"Wha-what are those?"  I loaded my bow without even thinking about it, my aim shaking horrendously.  Link's mere presence was making me nervous.  Damn it!

"Eggs."

Link drew his sword out and ran towards them.  I lowered my bow for a minute, watching him in surprise.  ". . .He's not scared. . .?"

I aimed towards one of the eggs.  Link noted which one I was aiming for and swung for the other two, taking them both out in a single swipe.  I fired my arrow, and it struck the egg dead center and reverberated.

The shaft snapped in two.

"What?!"  The egg shook and then opened.  A two-legged thing that was considering possibly mutating into a spider burst out of it.  It looked around in confusion, and then saw Link.  It made a beeline for him.  "Ooh, nice shot, Ang," Kai muttered.

"Link!  Look out!"

He turned to look at me for a spilt second before looking around.  I could see anger in his eyes again.  The spider thing jumped, and Link back flipped away from it.  It managed to swipe him once across his cheek, though, leaving a small stripe of blood.  Link stabbed and looked at me.  "Can't I trust you with anything?"

I could feel something wrong with my eyes.  They were shaking.  "Its. . .its got armor. . .I couldn't break it. . ." I could feel my bow shaking in my hands.  Worthless.  I felt my body shaking.  Please…don't let him be angry…

Worthless little brat.  I raised my bow again, and fired on shot.  Link followed it with his eyes and then stepped aside.  Gohma, rather surprised by the sudden second arrow that was stuck in her eye, stopped dead in her tracks.  Link turned around and stabbed Gohma-again in the eye-and then watched as she went into spasms.  I couldn't see his face.

Did this animal's suffering hurt him?

I looked at Kai.  "I. . .I think he'll be okay.  He's able to do what he needs to do."

"Unlike you.  You really weren't too much of a help, were you?  After all that effort?"

". . .I know.  But he wanted to do it by himself, so I thought I shouldn't help too much so he'd get fair experience."

". . .So, since you totally sucked, you're now trying to make up a really stupid excuse in the hopes I won't see through it?"

"Basically."

"You're pathetic."

"I tried."

"But, that doesn't change the fact that you didn't help him.  Now, I'll bet he thinks you're a weak little girl.  A helpless, little, weak girl.  And you certainly 'fought' like one.  So. . .now what?"

"We keep following him."  I watched him pick up the strange thing the spider creature had dropped.  Navi explained to him what it was.  Kai groaned.  "We'll protect him.  I can learn. . .how to act as a bodyguard.  We'll get used to it.  We both know how to manipulate the shadows. . .we'll just use it for a cause now.  Then he'll be safe.  Hyrule will be safe.  And after he fulfils his destiny. . ."

"You'll be dead."  I nodded.  "So, if you went out and just became a famous singer or something, you'd still be remembered.  Not to mention alive."

". . .I'm sorry, Kai."  She looked at me with a little confusion.  "I've already set my fate in motion now.  You know how it is. . .one minute, your destiny is up in the air, in the breeze. . .and then, with one motion, your future is set.  Nothing can change it.  I have to follow it now."  I began to walk out of the rank dungeon.  Kai watched me with frustration, eventually following me silently.

Don't worry Link.  I've got your back this time.

~*~

We traveled around Hyrule for a few weeks.  At least, it seemed to be that way.  Sometimes things were unbearably slow, and I just wished I had never followed the boy.  Other times, I wished time would slow down.

My time with him was running out.

He thought he was still alone.  He probably never noticed that there were sometimes a few bolts lying on the ground near him after a melee.  He thought I had stayed in the forest, safely.  He didn't know I had been silently following him the whole time.  I had toned down my help, helping him only when necessary after the accident in Kokiri forest.  Of course, now I had lost count of the times I had saved him.  And, of course, he didn't know I had done it a single one of those times.

He was happy.  He was happy because he thought I had stopped following him.  He thought I was safe, tucked away back in the forest.  He thought it was too dangerous for me to follow him.

I was glad to see him worry about me.

Right now, it was night.   He was sitting in front of Hyrule Castle, idly fingering his new ocarina and waiting for his clothes to dry.  He had fought the Stalchildren for a while, but eventually he had put on the bunny hood and simply waited.  I was casually sitting on top of the drawbridge and watching him.  Kai was quietly hovering behind it, so her light wouldn't show.  It was peaceful.  I was wondering how I was going to manage to keep stocking arrows at the rate I was losing them.  My quiver had been close to empty for a long time now.

"Navi, now what?"

". . .You know the song, you have the Ocarina of Time.  Go open the Door of Time and then we'll see what happens.  Every passing second matters now."

"I know.  But I'm kinda stuck here for a little bit."  He continued to hold the ocarina, and then finally looked back at her.  "I should open the door.  But we don't know what'll happen, do we?  And there are. . .people who I want to say good-bye to.  Just in case."

"You'll see them again."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."  Link smiled, and laid down on the grass to watch the moon.  He hadn't heard it, but I could tell that Navi had no idea of what was going to happen either.  Truthfully, I only knew as much as Navi.  I knew that supposedly, the legendary blade, the Master Sword was behind the door.  But it didn't matter.  I wasn't supposed to be here, so I couldn't tell him that.  I wouldn't even really be able to say good-bye, it looked like.

"Ang?"  Kai's voice was very quiet.  It sounded like she had been trying for my attention for a long time now, but I hadn't heard her.  I looked at her in surprise.  "I. . .want to go back."  She sounded almost afraid.

"What?"

"To Kokiri Forest.  I want to go back home.  Something terrible is going on.  Something is wrong.  The spirits. . .they're all quiet.  None of them have moved in hours.  When that man came here!  None of them are moving again!  They're only like this when something is wrong.  The spirits were silent when the Great Deku Tree died.  I want to be safe.  I want to go back home."

I nodded.  "Ok, Kai.  Go home."

"Are you sure?"  The fairy's panic was still evident in the eager way she was flying, but she still seemed afraid to leave me.  "I mean, you'll be okay, right?"

I smiled.  "Look, we'll meet back up.  I'll see Link off into the Realm, maybe follow him in, and then I'll come back to the Forest."

"You're going into the Realm?"

I smiled.  No.  And neither is Link, if I can help it.  "Of course, Kai.  We'll both be okay for a little bit, and then we can wait together.  We can fill Link back in when he gets back together, okay?"

"But you don't know what's in the Sacred Realm."

"It'll be fine.  Just go, or you'll stay.  I know," I said, cutting Kai off before she could protest-"You're confused.   Stay with your kind fore a while.  It might help a little.  You'll feel better when we meet back up."

The poor fairy was confused.  It was evident now.  She wanted to go but she didn't want to leave me.  Finally, she flew off in silence, forgetting to even say good-bye to me.  I turned my attention back to Link, continuing to wonder how I was going to get those bolts back.  I watched the moon, marveling how slowly it seemed to be moving.  I wanted so badly to jump off the drawbridge and hug Link, but I resisted the urge.

This might be the last day I ever see him…

As the sun began to rise, I turned around and jumped inside of Hyrule Castle Town.  I scattered a few stones as I landed and startled a dog, which growled and barked at me.  I snarled at it, and it yipped and ran away.  I smirked at it.  I walked a few feet into the town, watching the guards.  They obviously were a bit confused by my sudden entrance from the top of their drawbridge, but no one did anything.  I sat down on one of the booths that would be full in a few minutes.  I could see people flooding out from behind the walls from their homes, and beginning to set things up.

A few asked me to move, and I was soon moved down to leaning against the side of the booth, eyes closed.  I heard the drawbridge go up.  I felt the tentative smile melt off my face.  So…this is it, huh?  Last day.

I opened one eye, and watched Link run into town, pestering the first guard he found about Zelda.  When the guard began to get agitated, Navi convinced him to move on.  He ran towards the Temple of Time, Navi chasing after him hesitantly.

I stood up, slowly following them.  I didn't want to go to the temple.  It was almost menacing, with it's huge windows and sweeping roofs.  I didn't want anything to do with it.  I wanted Link to get away from it.  It was dangerous for him to go on.

I opened the door slowly, but let it fall heavily shut.  It slammed, making Link turn around.  He smiled slowly to see me.  "Hey, Shadow."

"Hey Link."

"Here to see me off?"

I nodded.  "Yeah."  His broad smile only made me feel how inadequate my small attempt was.  I wasn't happy to see him leaving.  "You. . .are you sure you're going to go through with this, Link?"

Navi looked annoyed with me, but Link only nodded.  "I have to.  I need to save Zelda now, I need to save Hyrule. . ." He turned and looked once at the door before looking back at me.  He looked afraid.  "You and I. . .Shadow.  We're different from other people, aren't we?  We've always been different."

I gulped a little bit.  Link…I can't tell you anything yet…you're not meant to leave with that knowledge.  "Yeah, we are."

"Very different."

"Link. . .after you open that door, things are going to be. . .different.  You'll be more of an outcast.  No one is going to know who you are anymore.  You'll be a drifter without a home.  No one will know who you are or welcome you into his or her home for the night.  No one will want to see you. . ."

I didn't know any of this for sure, but I knew all about the legends.  Link was the legendary Hero of Time.  And I was no one.  Anyone who had read the sacred texts knew what the future held in store for the legendary Hero.  The only thing no one knew was if he was going to survive the whole thing.

"I'll be the same Link.  I probably won't even be in here too long."

I smiled.  "Yeah. . .maybe."

"How do you know, anyway?"

". . .I just do."

He shook his head.  He was more laid back now.  In the Deku Tree, he had been so tense, so worried.  Now he was back to his fun-loving self.  It was ironic.  Who'd have thought that the Hero of Time would be a fun loving-even lazy sometimes-Hylian boy who was pretending to be a Kokiri?  Of course, he thought he really was Kokiri.  I knew I was Hylian.

"But, whenever it is you get out of there, I'll be waiting for you right here, okay?"

He smiled.  "Promise?"

I nodded happily.  "Promise."

"Thank you."  He turned around, and looked at the groves in the platform before him.  He silently got out his ocarina and played a haunting melody that filled the whole temple.  I felt something inside myself twitch and turn sickeningly, but Link didn't appear to be affected.  The only proof he had of all the work he had been doing appeared on the platform, and the Door of Time simply disappeared at the song's command.

I could feel what Kailua had said now.  I could feel the spirit's silence.  They were just as scared as I was.

Link started climbing the stairs, but then he paused and looked at me.  ". . .Hey. . .you've done so much for me, and I've never done anything for you.  I've never even found out your name.  What is it?"

I stared at him in surprise.  I'm not supposed to let you… I smiled slightly.  "My name is Angela."

He smiled back.  "See you later, Ang."

"Later."

He turned and walked into the open door.  I could distantly here Navi talking, but I couldn't hear her words.  I tried to hold my smile, but I felt it melt away.  I slowly walked towards the doorway, and peered in.  There was some kind of strange warp tunnel closing.  I stared at it in surprise.

This is…the Sacred Realm?

I heard the door slam open, and I turned around, and saw the tall desert man storming towards me.  He saw me and smirked.  My last memory of him floated through my mind.  Insolent girl…

I dived into the warp tunnel.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized I had no idea where I was.  I was obviously still sitting inside the Temple of Time.  And yet again. . .this was obviously not the Temple of Time.  It was twisted.  I turned around and saw Ganondorf looking around, talking very loudly.  But his words were lost on me.

All I could remember was the magic choking my throat shut.

I looked around desperately and saw the only way out that was not through him was through the window above my head.  Within seconds, my hawk form burst through the other side of the window, dropping glass shards everywhere.  I could feel a few shards stuck inside me, but it seemed like it was from far away.  The pain wasn't real.

I tried to look at my surroundings, but all I could see was a field.  It was growing black, too.  The closer I got, the foggier it became.  Closer?  I realized I was falling.  I was losing consciousness.  I felt my body begin to turn in the air, and I noticed absentmindedly that some of the glass splinters were turning reddish.

What a shame…I never got to tell Link he's…

I was totally unconscious before I hit the ground.
