Meanwhile, back in Hyrule...

A/N: Um...yeah. Filler chapter, has absolutely nothing to do with Aryasei, and more to do with her parents. Yeah.


Link entered his home in the forest after two months of absence, preferring his childhood home to the castle he had been offered when it was discovered he was the Prince. Uandae, his wife, stood at the window. She looked very upset about something, and tears streamed down her normally rosy, but now pale cheeks. She hadn't bothered to do anything with her beautiful red hair either, Link noticed.
"What's wrong, love?" he asked, walking over to her and putting a hand on her shoulder, "And where's Aryasei?"
"She went to see Saria in the Forest Temple, right after you left...and nobody's seen or heard from her since!" replied Uandae, turning her tearstained face up to Link's.
"Where is she, do you know?"
"She tried to contact me telepathically, but the distance was too great! All I heard was 'I don't know where I am, but don't worry, I'm safe. I've met--', and then she was cut off! Oh, Link, if we've lost her.."
"Sshh..." Link said, gently putting an arm about his wife, "She'll be alright."
"You're right..." Uandae murmured. "She's strong, like you..."
"And smart, like you." Link finished. "We'll find her.."
Uandae nodded, and swallowed the lump in her throat.
She'll be alright, she said silently.
