She walked out to see the moon for the first time in days. She smelt like smoke and was covered in blood and black ashes. She also was cut and burnt very badly. She needed a bath and really wanted one.
She slowly walked up the slope and entered the cave where the gorons lived and there she waited for Link to return so they could continue there journey.
.
.
.
Link had slain the beast and was now walking to the center of the dungeon where the light was. He stepped in and was taken to the slope where the king of the gorons was waiting.
"Huh, it looks like you made it. Well done." He said this and slapped Link on the back, laughing happily almost knocking Link onto the ground. "That girl that came with you is waiting inside," he said then held out his hand that held the goron's stone. "Take it. You have earned it." Link took it and put it along with the other stone he had required in the woods from the Deku Tree.
"You are welcome any time here. We are grateful for what you and that girl has done." He looked up at the sky and asked, "Your name, what is it?"
"My name is Link and that girl's name is Yuki." He answered.
"Well, I wish you both luck on your way with whatever may be in your future. If it had not been for both of your help we would have died. We can not express are thanks enough!" He had said while walking in the domain where all the gorons resided.
Yuki was waiting and hoping that that was Link walking in with the gorons. As soon as Link walked in where she could see him, in the dull light they had, she ran up and gave him a hug that almost knocked him over. He looked down to see Yuki had her face buried in his chest hugging him with a death grip.
She pulled back and hit him in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?" He asked.
"For making me wait." She said answering her question. She looked up at him and smiled. He pulled out the Goron's Stone and let gave it to her. It felt warm in her hands and it shined a dark, deep read.
She gave it back to him and asked, "Where do we head next?"
"Up to the top of the mountain to see the Great Fairy I heard about." Link said.
.
.
.
They continued walking up the mountain till they reached a wall covered with vines.
"Huh, what are you doing?" She asked as she watched him grab hold of some vines and started to climb them as if he had been doing it for years.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He asked looking down and smiling at her apparently amused by her question. He looked back up after receiving a glare. If looks could kill then he would have been dead at the moment.
"You coming or what?" He asked.
"Yes, I am," she said. She hated when he did this stuff to her.
She was a little irritated and started climbing as fast as she could to beat Link. "I bet I'll beat you up there," she said.
"I doubt it, but you can give it a try." He answered. There was no way he was going to let her beat him up to the top. He had to admit she was fast at climbing. "Why is she being like this anyway?" He thought as he started to climb faster.
After a while of climbing he knew he was beaten. She was way up ahead of him. She looked down and giggled, "You want me to wait for you?" She asked enjoying herself as she made fun of him. "Nope." He answered as he continued to climb. She was going to beet his sorry ass no matter what it took.
They were both climbing as fast as they could. He knew that when they reached the top he wasn't going to here the end of it.
"Yeah!" She said while jumping up and down, waiting for Link to reach the top. "Hah, I told you I could beat you." She said while laughing as she watched Link pull himself up.
"You only won because I let you win." He said.
"No. I beat you fairly. You just don't want to admit it." She said.
"You wish." He said as he saw Navi, for what seemed for the first time, come out from underneath Link's hat and said, "It's true Link she did beat you."
"You finally come out and grace us with your presence and you're not even on my side. You traitor. I thought you were suppose to be my fairy?!" He yelled and gave Navi the most pitiful look he could come up with.
"Hah, when Navi finally says something then you know it's got to be true." She laughed.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes. You know I won so why don't you just admit it!" She yelled. Navi went back inside Link's hat not wanting to get caught up in their argument.
At the end of the argument they were both out of breath, but the only reason it ended was because Link finally admitted his defeat, which, of course, made Yuki happy.
Yuki stood in front of Link as she looked around. She took a couple of steps to be thrown against Link be a gust of wind. He held her and helped her back on her feet. She turned around to see a large owl perch himself on top of a sign. She blushed as she felt Link's hands still around her waist from where she had been knocked against him.
Yuki jumped when the owl began to talk. "Hey Link. Who's the girl?" He asked as he turned his head in different directions with an occasional 'hoo.'
"This is Yuki." He answered looking at Yuki who had walked around to stand a little behind him as if she was afraid of the bird that had no intentions of harming them.
"Well, the Great Fairy lies up ahead go and see her and I will lend you a ride down the mountain." He said as he made a 'hoo' again.
Link walked up to a place in the wall that looked different from everything around it and placed a bomb then stepped back and waited for it to explode. As soon as it did, they both walked into the cave where the Great Fairy resided.
.
.
.
It was beautiful. The ceiling looked like the night sky with stars all around and there was a huge fountain in the middle. Link stepped up and took out Ocarina and played 'Zelda's Lullaby'. Yuki stood behind him and watched as a beautiful lady appeared wearing nothing except she was wrapped in some vines that didn't really cover very much.
She giggled and turned around to face the young boy and a girl standing behind him. "So, you are the boy that everyone is talking about, and who is this?" She said eyeing the girl that stood behind him.
This girl, she could tell, had great power that lay dormant. "If she is here with the boy who is to save Hyrule, then just maybe . . . . . . ." She thought this to herself. She knew that she was not from this place and even in the world where she came from was not truly her home. The gods must have sent her here . . . . But then maybe the time is coming when they will take the greatest test of all. The test of their friendship, love, trust, courage, and strength.
"Let me give you both something that will help you on your journey," she said while raising her hands in the air. A light come forth and consumed both Link and Yuki. As soon as the light faded the fairy continued, "This is your magic. Focus it into your sword and unleash it to do great damage to your enemies. Also, you will run out eventually, so watch your magic's meter. Come back to me when you are in great need." She laughed and disappeared into the fountain.
As soon as the young warriors left the Great Fairy was left to think to herself. She closed her eyes in thought. "She is the one . . . The one that will . . . . . . . . ." She opened her eyes and sighed. She slowly shook her head back and forth, and disappeared.
.

Link came out and went up to the owl and started talking to it. Yuki stayed at the entrance and watched. She knew the bird was nice but there was no way she was going to get near it unless she had to. Which she hoped wouldn't happen.
"Yuki, come on over here. He's going to fly you down the mountain." He yelled.
"Damn it!" She thought. She knew this would happen. She sighed and walked over. He could tell she really didn't like him for some reason. "What about you?" She asked. "He'll come back up and get me. You can wait for me once you get down there. I'm sure it won't take long." He assured her.
She hesitated but nodded her head. The big owl flew over her head and yelled, "Grab on to my talons!" She did as he said and he flew her down there and dropped her off on a house. The bird took back up the mountain. She didn't have to wait long before she could see the owl flying down with Link.
He dropped Link off and they started climbing down the house. "Why were you afraid of him? He wasn't going to harm you. He helped me out when I was in the forest. I would have told you if he was going to do anything." He said. She didn't know how to answer. "I don't know. I guess I just have a thing against over grown birds. Also, I'm not all that happy about heights," she said while looking down from the top of the house. Link laughed. He had jumped down easily and received a glare.
"I'll catch you when you jump." He said trying hard not to laugh and failing miserably at it. "I fail to see what's so funny," she said while looking down at him. She sat down on the edge of the roof, crossed her arms across her chest and glared down at him. He looked up at her and smiled, "Just jump and I'll catch you." He stated.
"You promise you'll catch me because if you don't, you'll be in a world of pain for the next two days," she said giving him a look that foretold his misery if he did happen to drop her . . . . or not catch her. . . . . which he didn't want to end up doing at all. Usually, when she said something like that she meant ever word of it.
He sighed and looked up at her yelling, "I promise, I will not drop you." She looked down one more time before she pushed herself of the roof. As soon as she pushed herself off, she quickly regretted it. She really, really didn't like heights.
She was caught easily enough. She opened her eyes and looked at Link. He had caught her bridal style, with one arm supporting the back and the other under her knees.
"See, I told you I would catch you." He said as he looked down at her. He put her down slowly. She stood and looked at him again. Yuki still had her hands around his neck and he had his hands on her hips. The moment was interrupted when a cucco (A cucco is kind of like a chicken) flew over there heads, making both of them jump and back away from each other.
Lilly realized what she had done and blushed ten shades of red. Link looked at her and motioned her to come as they both started walking out of the village.

They were already half way there to Zora's Domain when they stopped for the night by the stream. She didn't like heights, but she would have wanted to be on the tallest mountain then be out in Hyrule's field at night. When it was dark skeletons would come up out of the ground and attack you. Navi had said they were Hyrule's protectors or something like that. She really didn't care at the moment when she was talking about them. All that mattered at the time was to get away from them. She would fight over grown lizards and monsters that shot fire at you or exploded, but she would not fight skeletons. They had decaying skin hanging on some of there bones and they had a stench that was like nothing she had ever smelt before.
When they had met up with them, she stood behind Link letting him do all the work. She thought she was going to throw up all her food that she had eaten at the castle when Link suddenly sliced off one of their heads. Most of its decaying skin had been flung onto her cheek.
"Link, I'm going on down a little further to bathe. I'll be back in a while." She turned and left without waiting for a response. She smelled nasty and could barley take it anymore.
She squeaked as she jumped into the cold water. It was very, very cold, but she swore to herself that she would not leave until she was clean. She quickly washed herself and got out and put a clean outfit on and started the walk back to Link.
She was shaking and couldn't wait to get near the fire. "Well, that was quick, and I bet you it was cold to," he said. She gave him a cold stare and sat near the fire. "Well, at least I'm clean and don't smell like I've been cooked," she stated calmly, but Link knew better, if he got her started now the end results wouldn't be really good.
"Fine, I'll go." He said as he got up and walked away. Navi had flown out of his hat and was floating around Lilly's head. "What do you do all the time when your not helping us out, do you sleep up in his hat?" She asked looking up at the little fairy. The fairy gave her a look and headed of towards Link. "What's with her?" She asked herself. She sighed and laid down as close as she could to the fire.
Link had came back to see Yuki asleep already. He decided to sleep as well, "One more stone. That's all there is left." He thought to himself as he closed his eyes and drifted of to sleep.
.
.

Yuki awoke to see the morning sun. Link was still asleep. She got up and grabbed her sword and shield, while she was adjusting her shield on her back Link sat up and yawned.
He followed her example and got up.
After a while of walking, they came across a waterfall. "This is as far as it goes. It stops right here." Yuki said. Suddenly Navi comes out and flies to a sign, "Link, look here!" Link read the sign. "Huh, what are you doing now?" Yuki said. All Link replied was, "Watch." He took out his Orcarina and played Zelda's Lullaby.
All of a sudden the waterfall parted, reveling a passage way. Link jumped across followed by Yuki. Yuki couldn't see anything. She stumbled and ran into Link, "Sorry." She kept her hand on his back as they continued walking so she didn't run into anything. Anyway, it wouldn't be her to run into anything if she stayed behind Link. Then all of a sudden they were in the light. Yuki looked over Link's shoulder and saw something she never even thought existed.
There was a huge water fall leading to a large pool of water underneath them. They could see the zoras swimming in the water underneath them. "Well, lets go ask around, and see what everyone knows about that stone." Link said.
