Chapter 4

"She's gone!" Impa bolted upright in the bed. "Impa, calm down," Saria leaned her back in the bed. "Are you ok?"

"No, No. I can't rest. I have to tell link something important!" she sat up and tried to get out of bed.

"Get back in that bed Impa. Link is on his way." Saria spoke with a rather demanding voice, a voice appropriate for a Sage. Impa complied and lie back down. Just then Link came in the room with Raru and Darunia.

"Impa, how are you feeling?" Raru asked. "Fine. Link I have something to tell you…" she was stopped by link.

"I need to know who did it." He stopped. " I need your help, he left a note, clues to where he and Zelda are. But I need your help deciphering it."

Impa looked at Link, "You were in there when she was taken. Did you see who it was?"

"No Link, I didn't see who it was, but I can tell you that I remember seeing a shadow from the corner take form and throw a ball at me. It exploded and when I could see again they were gone and there was a pink gas filling the room. That's when I started to black out."

"Ok… thank you. I hope you feel better soon" Link turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" Impa asked

"I'm not sure yet, but I cant just stand around knowing that Zelda is in trouble. I must go now" He walked out letting the door shut behind him.

"What can this mean?" Link paced around the study reading the note over and over to himself. "'Seek me where the gems reside'" he paused, "gems… gems…Wait! gems are found in caves!" he looked down at the paper, "Where the gems reside! She's in a cave!" he stopped, " but what cave? There are caves in Death Mountain and in the Gerudo Desert and almost everywhere." He continued reading." It mentioned dry…" link spoke to himself. "The driest place I know of is the Gerudo Desert. She could be there." He put the note down picked up the black dagger and went over to the great map of Hyrule on the wall.

"Here…" he thrust the dagger through the map and into the wall behind it. It was on a remote section of the Gerudo Desert. "this is the driest place in Hyrule, rain has never fallen there." Link went back to the desk and picked up the note. He walked to the door and looked back at the map,

"I'll find you Zelda, I swear I will."

"The Boss says to put her in there." A great Moblin growled almost un-intelligibly to another, and pointed to a small room. "And don't forget to put the chains on her wrists, we don't need her to regain consciousness and get away."

The other Moblin dropped the unconscious Zelda on a small pile of straw, picked up the shackles and put them tightly around her petite wrists.

"Be careful you oaf, the Boss doesn't want her hurt. If she is we'll be the next rugs in his tent!" The other Moblin just growled in response.

"Sit her up agents the wall, Idiot" the first Moblin snarled. The second did as he was told and leaned Zelda agents the wall. "Come-on, you oaf" They both left to get their next orders from the Boss, leaving Zelda to awaken.
