HYRULE'S SECOND RELIC: CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Tayl was watching Katina. She had taken over for Link a few hours ago.

"Oh Katina." Tayl sighed. "You almost left me again."

Tayl stared at her cousin. Related and joined in blood by their mothers. Two sisters. Tayl and Katina could almost be sisters. Tayl smiled. Although their personality was a little different they weren't that different. Katina could be a little more serious. Tayl was a little more laid back. But both enjoyed a good sword battle.

Katina stirred in her sleep but settled down soon enough. Tayl spoke to her in another language stroking Katina's hair form her face.

"Link!"

Link turned as he heard his name being called. It was Navi racing up to him.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I've been looking all over for you, Link. Where have you been?" Navi asked, out of breath.

"I went out to think......sorry if I missed anything important. I've got a lot on my mind right now." Link said, giving an apologetic smile.

"Like what?"

"My mother for one."

Navi frowned but her expression didn't show. "You know she could well be alive....."

"She didn't come back....."

"She's you mother. She'll return some day. You know she will." Navi said, flying over to Link's shoulder.

"I hope so, Navi. I hope so. It's been so long. First dad and then her...."

"Do you know what she meant when she went?"

Link shook his head. "No. I don't. It's bugged me for sooo long."

His mother left and only with the word: Your heart is protected by The Second Relic. It belongs to no other.

Link had almost died as a baby. An enemy of his fathers when he was Hero of Time was a witch who had placed a curse on Link when he was newborn. Link was alive now....but he wasn't sure how his parents kept him alive.

Zelda paced her chambers slowly; in her hands was a book. In it was scriptures and extracts from journals.

"I can't find anything that might help us stop Ganon. The journey to see Wiccra might take days or even weeks." Zelda sighed.

Her Father was the other side of the room.

"You're thinking too hard on this Zelda, maybe there is nothing we can do just yet." He said.

"I get the feeling I'm not thinking enough. I mean what if we waste time on something I could've worked out myself? There's something here, there really is, I'm just not seeing it." Zelda said.

The King gently removed the book from her and placed it on the table. "Listen, my child. I know you're doing your best for the Hylian people but you can only do your best. Katina could be ready any time soon; I need you to be full energy. Now get some rest, we have paperwork to sort through before the day is done."

Zelda sighed. "I suppose so. But it's on my mind and I never relax for long."
