Koume: Man, I'm so sorry for not updating for ages!! ^_^" but here's the seventh chapter! (finally!) This chapter's title is (in case you can't read… wait… if you couldn't read, you wouldn't be able to read this either… this could get complicated) The Truth. So I take this opportunity to talk about The Truth. All I have to say is: the truth is evil. Don't ask me why I said that, my friend told me to. (no, not the imaginary one that's sitting on my desk, he's somewhere in Japan at the moment look for a guy with spiky blonde hair… don't mind, that was a personal joke)

Oh yes, and I still don't own Nintendo. But I'm getting there. All I have to do is buy all their shares…. What if they're a private company, you ask? Well, in that case, I'm stuffed, aren't I? (sorry, I do commerce and I'm learning stuff ^.^ especially on how to take over companies =P)

And also, thanks for the reviews. They really sort of inspire me. Oh and while I have the chance, I think I'll *advertise* my other fics!! Go read Link's Awakening. It's Not a Link's Awakening fic, it's an Ocarina of Time fic! It's set in Link's PoV when he wakes up after being knocked out by Ganondorf. And once you'e read it… REVIEW IT!!! same with this one ^.~ Enjoy yourself people. And don't kill too many people. (I dunno where that came from. Maybe I feel a bit violent now…)

^.^ Chapter 7 ^.^ - The Truth

Zelda woke up and looked around. She was still in the bed she was in before and Saria was still tending to her wounds.

"What is the matter, Princess Zelda?" Saria asked.

Zelda's breathing eased a little, she managed to say only one word, "Link."

"He collapsed, I took him to his room. I heard screaming so I came in here and I found both of you lying of the ground, unconscious. What happened?" Saria told Zelda.

Zelda shook her head, "I don't know, but I need to talk to Link."

Saria shook her head, "Not yet, you still have to recover."

"I'm fine!" Zelda pleaded.

"You're leg is still broken," Saria said firmly.

"Not for long," Zelda said as she used her magic to heal it. She had most of her strength back, so her magic worked properly.

"Princess…!" Saria called helplessly as she watched Zelda run out of the room.

When Zelda reached Link's room, he was sitting up, with his face buried in his hands. Sitting next to him, she gently touched his hand.

Link looked up, "Zelda?"

Zelda nodded, "It's me."

"I… I had the… strangest dream," Link told her.

Zelda smiled and shook her head, "I bet it wasn't as weird as mine was."

Link smiled, "There was a man called Rauru…."

"…the Sage of Light!" Zelda finished Link's sentence in surpise.

"He told me… your father, the king…"

"Turned time backwards?" Zelda asked in disbelief.

Link nodded, "How do you know?"

"I had the same dream," Zelda told him, "Rauru told me to tell you about it."

"Yeah, he told me the same. He even told me that we should go back to Hyrule."

"He told me that we belong together, Link," Zelda told him.

Link smiled as he stroked the side of Zelda's face, "We do."

Zelda kissed Link again, this time for longer.

"Zelda, leave Link be, he needs to…." Saria said as she walked into Link's room and saw the two kissing.

Zelda pulled away and bit her lip as she turned red, "Err… sorry?"

Saria stood there, her mouth hanging open in shock for a while and then started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Link asked indignantly.

"Nothing. Well, anyway. Have you found out what happened back there?" Saria asked.

Zelda nodded, "Saria… what do you know of our real past?"

Saria turned red. She remembered that the king threatened her with death if she uttered a word of the truth to either one of them, "Real past? I don't understand," she lied.

Link sat up again and looked into Saria's eyes, "Saria, you can tell me. It's me. Link. You can tell me what you know. Forget all the threats the king made."

Saria gasped in shock, "How did you know about the threats?"

Link smiled irkly, "I guessed."

Saria sat down next to Link and Zelda, "And how did you know that it was the king?"

Zelda's smiled matched Link's, "My father is the type."

"He… he threatened me with my life!" Saria exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes.

Zelda hugged Saria to console her, "Don't cry. I'll make sure he doesn't."

Link pushed on, "So, what do you know?"

Saria stood up and walked to the window, "We were friends. Link, we were best friends. The king just kicked you out of Hyrule, as if you were worthless trash. I remember the day well now, we were in the Lost Woods and the king and his soldiers just came up to us and tied you up. The soldiers left and the king told me that I would die if I told Link or Zelda the truth of the past."

Link looked at Zelda, who was frowning. He took her hand, "Continue, Saria."

"I remember how Zelda reacted when she was told that Link 'ran away'. She cried almost continuously. It was unstoppable. That's when the king put a memory-removing spell on her. She didn't remember anything and couldn't remember why she was so depressed. Unfortunately, that's when the queen died too. Everyone was told that Link had run away, but they all believed that Zelda was grieving over her mother's death. The rest of the population in Hyrule were also forbidden to speak of Link. Anytime the king or his guards heard the name, they would put the speaker to death."
