HYRULE'S SECOND RELIC:
CHAPTER ELEVEN: DEEP IN TROUBLE:
A week had passed since Katina and her cousin had been reunited. Katina and Tayl weren't seen much out of each others sight, they had plenty to talk about and catch up on. Link was comfortable talking to Tayl and the three shared in mellowing talks.
But now Tayl and Katina were alone talking.
"Do you miss it?" Tayl asked.
"You wouldn't know how much." Katina sighed.
"It's gone. We can't live the way we did, even if we did go back." Tayl said.
"I know." Katina agreed. "I know."
Tayl sighed deeply. "Hyrule....is nice. Well, if you compare it to the desert of the Ishinka anyway."
Katina was silent for a moment. Navi hovered in.
"Hey! Zelda wants to talk to you." Navi informed her.
Katina looked up bestowing Tayl a look to excuse herself. Tayl nodded and Navi led her to where Zelda was waiting for her.
Katina bowed and the rose. "Princess-er-I mean Zelda."
Zelda laughed lightly. "I've come to ask you something. I had a dream last night....and I feel it was a vision, much like the vision I had that foretold of black clouds, those which were Ganon." Her slightly amused features fell to a frown.
"Then something is coming." Katina said.
"In it I saw an amazing green hue, I'm sure it represented you.." Zelda cast a look into Katina's eyes. "You sat on water only it wasn't water...it was a mirror, but when you touched the surface a ripple formed like on water. And then a huge great shard of crystal forced itself out of the ground. A big black shape came and pounced on you and then I stood there watching it engulf you...."
Katina's eyes did not mirror what she felt. "I don't know what it means, Zelda. I haven't a clue."
Zelda studied her for a moment. "Katina..."
"I can't help." Katina bowed and then turned on her heal leaving.
Navi blipped at Zelda's side.
"She was a little ... awkward..you think she's hiding something?" Navi asked.
"Katina would never harm the land. This I fear is something personal for her. Navi..why don't you get Link to talk to her?" Zelda's head suddenly went fuzzy and one foot fell under her until she got control of it.
"Princess!" Navi exclaimed.
Zelda rightened herself, but held her head. "Oh...I'm sorry, I'm going to lie down. I think a vision is calling to me."
Navi flew around her in circles. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, go and get Link to talk to Katina.." Zelda said, walking away.

~******DREAM BEGIN******~
Katina found herself at the lake edge. She was dressed simply in a pure white cloak which covered her hair and trailed down her body. She stared into the water, thick, smooth silvery liquid. Not pure in colour but like a mixture of metals, blacks, greys, whites, and silvers.
Around her was a thick surrounding of trees, moss covered the ground with a soft blanket layer and amazing huge lily's stemmed form the water dotted around.
A few colourful birds with long lanky legs were walking through the water, their huge beaks dipping in and pulling out weed form the bottom.
The sun was high in the sky shining without interference.
She closed her eyes and breathed in deep, she was crouched in a cat like position, knees bent and two arms forward to balance her.
"Katina!" The shout sent a few birds in the trees away, the sound of them bursting out from the trees.
Toward her walked Millesha, dressed in her usual garb of brown rough clothing of whatever skill she had to make her clothes.
Katina looked strange beside the woman, her features plain compared to her own. The Millesha had big beautiful brown eyes a thin brown hair tied tightly back in a pony tail.
"Katina..." Millesha repeated.
Katina looked up.
"Katina..." The pause on the woman's face and then her eyes turned blank. "Who are you?"
Katina blinked.
"Who are you? Who are you? What's the truth Katina? Who are you?" Millesha kept repeating.
The noise became a drone until Katina had to block her ears. Millesha soon vanished, one drop from the sky fell into the water and the ripples spread out a blackness, which soon reached Katina.
Katina could only give a frustrated cry. "Leave me alone! Go away!"
She was pushed into the air as if she were flying, her robes fluttered around her, the long train at the end, at every second almost coming undone to reveal her nakedness underneath. Her hood was forced back to send her fringe flying around her face, her French plait pushed back.
"What are you?" Katina said, her voice echoing back to her. "Let me go! LET ME GO!"
A grating sound.
Katina's clothes then changed to her normal clothes, her khaki army trousers. Thick leather jacket of biscuit brown and her leotard like top of black. Her huge and heavy boots encased her feet.
Then before her was a writhing shadow. Katina's eyes liquidised under her intense fear, she couldn't move, a force held her that wasn't her own. It turned to look at her, it's eyes just blazing green fires in little sockets, a jagged slit for a mouth. Every sound it made was a grate noise.
Katina's mouth trembled; she thought she was going to be sick. She hadn't ever faced this horror for many long years, she'd been able to block it out. And now it was back. Back to get her. A strangled cry ripped from her throat as it came closer, smiling cruelly at the fear to gave her.
~*****Dream continues******~
Link could hear a vague sound like Katina struggling so he rolled off of his bed the other side of the room and Navi awoke, lighting the room. Katina was sweating, her teeth gritted and her whole body was tense. Link tried to wake her.
A sudden crack made both him and Navi jump. Navi whirled around and saw the mirror across the side of the room begin to crack, first a little crack, but slowly it was growing, branching out. Link looked to Katina and then to the mirror. Katina gave a sharp breath in as she bolted upward and at that second the mirror exploded outward as if punched from behind. Link's arms sheltered his face from the shards of the mirror and Navi zipped in every direction to dodge them.
Then a brief silence broken when Katina's rapid breathing started. Katina put a shaky hand to her face and then saw the shadow of Link beside her, lit only by the dull light Navi gave.
"Katina!" Link breathed. "Are you okay? What happened?"
Katina drew in a few shaky breaths. "I...I don't know...."
Link sat down on the end of her bed. "Do you want me to get you something?"
Katina shook her head and swallowed nervously, still shaken from her dream. "I'll be okay..."
Link looked to Navi and down to the smashed mirror.
There was a knock on the door and then Zelda walked in with Tayl.
"Link, Navi, Katina..something is wrong with the water temple, in my sleep I heard it's cry..you must help it..it's cries are weak, it's trying to resist a dark power which has been set on it." Zelda said, her voice alarmed. Then her gaze fell to the broken mirror. "What happened?"
"We're not sure." Link said.
Tayl walked into the room, sensing something was wrong with Katina.
"Katina...you don't look very good.." Zelda said. "If you want while Tayl and Link check out the temple you can stay."
Katina raised a hand to stay her concern. "I'm fine. I'll be ready in five."
Everyone watched as Katina pulled herself up and walked away to get her weapons and got herself properly suited up. Kina, which rested at the foot of her bed, sparked as she touched it as it awoke. Katina apologized to her sword and then she was strapped and ready.
"What?" she asked and everyone immediately snapped back to their lives and thoughts.
~****************************~
They were each riding over Hyrule field. Link had Epona, and Tayl had to share a ride on Bolt. They got to the double fences and Tayl gritted her teeth as the horses both jumped them.
"What's wrong Tayl?" Katina asked with a little laugh.
"I've got saddle sore already and that didn't help at all." Tayl said.
Katina chuckled and Link looked over smiling. They rode up to the lake, stopping at the surface.
"How do we get into the temple?" Tayl asked.
"I've been down there before . It can't be so hard can it?" Katina asked.
A few Zora popped up.
"Good day." The first one said. "Princess Zelda said that you three might require our help."
"We're taking you down to the Temple entrance." The second said.
"It's a long way down there for people like you." The third explained.
~*************************************************************************** *~
The three pulled up to the surface. The Zora's had given them a Zora's tunic each and then showed them the entrance. Katina pulled herself up onto the first platform and looked around the Water Temple. Something really didn't seem right.
"What is it?" Tayl asked.
"Shhh." Katina said. "I think I hear something."
