Thanks again to all reviewers! I've decided that Link and Zelda get into too much trouble, so I've decided to give them time off. Of course there will be some punishment, but let's see how Raven gets them out of this one! Hint!
Zelda was having a pretty good time. Link had entered a horseback archery competition and had won that one too. They found out later that there would be a sword fighting tournament and later a fireworks show. Zelda had prompted Link to enter the tournament and he had merely replied, "I'll think about it." Meanwhile, he had dragged her to the square. There was a song playing and plenty of people were dancing. Zelda just looked at Link oddly.
"And we are here because..."
Link grabbed her by the arms and brought her out onto the dancing floor. "Well I didn't bring you here just to look."
Malon gave out a gasp and stumbled backward. She had just seen a bird change into a boy! Suddenly, a voice called out, "Who's there? Show yourself at once!" Malon just jumped up and took off at a run. While passing a mirror, she saw the boy running after her. No...He wasn't running. He was flying! He screamed out, "Stop where you are!" Malon didn't stop. She just kept on running. Suddenly, a red bolt shot out of nowhere and sent her flying three yards away. She landed with a crash into a hall table. Suddenly, the boy floated up in front of her. He pointed at her forehead with a pale finger. She felt like something was invading her, searching her very soul for some piece of information. He said to her, "Malon is it?" She didn't answer. "Sorry about this." He aimed again at her forehead and shot a green bolt. It hit its mark.
Zelda sat down on a bench at the edge of the square, laughing hard. This was the most fun she had ever had. Link sat down next to her and just grinned. Zelda asked, "Where did you learn to dance like that?"
"While I was in Termina, I went to a wedding. I had saved the groom from a spell and the bride had asked me to dance. I told her that I didn't know how and she taught me."
"Well, if I ever meet her, I'll have to thank her."
Link and Zelda just sat still, watching the others dance. Soon, a slow song began to play and couples started to pair. Zelda knew the song and started to hum it. Then, something that she had never expected to happen happened. "Care to dance?"
Zelda looked to her left to see Link standing, extending a hand. Zelda smiled and replied, "Gladly." Zelda allowed Link to take her out into the dancing area again.
Link took one of Zelda's hands in his own and placed his arm around her waist. She put her arm around his neck and placed her head on his shoulder. He was only around three inches taller than her. Zelda lowered her head onto his shoulder and they began to dance.
Talon was walking to the barn. He had to feed the horses and milk the cows since Malon and Ingo had gone to the castle town. He entered and got the grain out of a jar. After feeding three horses, he saw something red sticking out of the straw. Upon further inspection, he saw that it was a head and he immediately recognized who owned it.
"Malon! Oh goddesses Malon what happened? Malon? Malon!
The song ended and Link and Zelda parted. They smiled at each other. Suddenly, they looked at the clock and began to run. The tournament was starting in ten minutes!
Raven lay across a chair in the library. He picked a book from the table up and opened it. No sooner had he started reading when Impa came in.
"You found them? Where are they?! Those two are going to catch such a..."
"Impa! I left them at the festival."
"You what?! How could you?! Do you realize what could have happened to them by now! They could have been mugged...kidnapped...maybe even dead! Go get them now!"
"If you'll stop hounding me, I'll go."
Raven stood up and pulled his hood over his head. He opened the window, stepped back, took a running start, and jumped. The cloak formed a black bird's body, the hood formed the head. The raven flew off for the town. 'Now... to find them. Were would they be? Maybe they'll be at the tournament.' The raven flew off for the great arena that had been set up for the event.
Link had won the first three rounds. The people had laughed at the idea that a ten-year old could beat a full grown man. The man had surrendered while Link didn't get a scratch or a sweat. The second man had slashed Link's cheek. That had been his most fatal mistake. The third man had tried to catch Link, whom had jumped at least five feet up in the air and kicked him in the head. The fourth and final man was the strongest. There were only sixteen people who had entered the contest. Unfortunately, the man was the same one Link had beat in the archery tournament. Zelda watched from the sidelines. Suddenly, a voice called out next to her, "Enjoying yourself Princess?" Zelda turned sharply to see Raven. He was sitting next to her, looking for the entire world smug. He turned to face her. "It's difficult to believe that a ten year old boy could defeat four grown men."
"You haven't seen Link's full ability Raven. He was pretty impressive when he was facing Gannondorf. He was still a ten year old in a seventeen year old's body. The experience carried and he is a remarkable swordsman."
"You think very highly of him princess... perhaps a little too highly for a friend?"
'What is this guy thinking?' Zelda thought. Finally, she consoled on saying, "Maybe so." She looked at Raven. He wore his ever present frown. She wondered if he had ever been in a battle and had his jaw broken. Raven looked back at her.
"You know...it's impolite to think that I had my jaw broken. If I had, I wouldn't be speaking."
Zelda just stared. How had he known that?!
"First of all, I know a lot of things. Second of all, I believe Link just won."
Zelda's head flipped to see Link standing with his sword raised. The man was slowly standing up. Suddenly, he took his sword and raised it high. Zelda screamed out, "Link! Watch out!"
