Yeah! The next chapter is up! I've pretty much figured half of the story so far. Anyway, I'm still working on Living in Shadows, so I'll try to finish it soon. Anyways…

Me/nambe- yeah, it's Green, but you would already know.

Chapter 4:

Everyone in the throne room stood silent as they watched the girl before them slowly slip out of consciousness. They watched intently as Kassy and Link carried the girl back to her room.

"General Klein…" the king said finally.

After a few seconds, a man appeared in front of the king. He wore simple, black soldier's tunic. He had brown hair with brown eyes. Yet, he was at least in his mid-thirties

"Inform the other generals to send soldiers to guard Kakariko Village and any entrances."

"Yes, Your Highness." He said as he bowed his head than walked out.

Link sat dazed in the courtyard. He sat on a bench while he rested his head against the stonewall behind him. He stared up at the sky, forgetting that he had a dinner with the king and generals in the next half hour. Link sighed hopelessly when Zelda appeared, knowing exactly what she was going to say.

"Link!" she said with shock in her voice, "Aren't you going to get ready for the dinner?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking." Link said slowly.

"Link, I know it's hard since she doesn't remember anything…" Zelda said as she sat next to him, "The only people who remember are the sages and you."

"Then, how does the rest of the royal family remember?"

"I told them about it. Besides, they knew Ganandorf and what he was up to, I wouldn't be surprised…"

"I guess you're right." Link said as he got up, "Now, to get ready for dinner."

Time seemed to go slowly as Link sat at a large table in the castle dining room. Next to him sat General Klein while across him was General Leon and General Rylone, and at the end of the table sat the king.

Link sighed a bit as he watched Zelda retire from the night, leaving him alone with the generals and the king to discuss any war situation.

"Well, then, Sir Link…" the king began with a sigh, "Have you gotten used to people calling you general?"

Link grinned, "Not entirely, Your Highness."

"Well, don't worry. You are just a replacement until we can fully find someone, but if not, get used to it." The king said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Your Highness," General Leon spoke up, "How do we know if this boy is able to handle- "

"Nonsense." The king cut in, "This boy is the most skilled soldier in the army."

"Maybe I can see how good his skills are tomorrow, after breakfast." General Klein intended.

"Good idea." The king said, "By the way, General, what is the plan with the soldiers?"

"By tomorrow, we will be sending half of our soldiers to Kakariko Village while the rest stay here to guard the castle." General Klein said.

"What if this girl is an imposter?" General Leon said, bringing up another topic.

All the while, Link had remained silent until now, "You have no proof, General."

"No, Sir Link. He might have a point." The king said.

"Then, Your Highness, why would she be so badly injured?" Link questioned, forgetting he was talking to royalty.

"The arrow wound was from the battle, but the gash…" General Rylone said in thought.

"Sir Link," the king began, now, as if avoiding the question, "try to question the girl a bit more, see if you can get anything out of her."

"Yes, Your Highness." Link said plainly.

"Ah, Conrad…" the king said as he glimpsed over to a shadowed corner, "I was needing to talk to you."

A moment later, a figure appeared from the darkened side of the room, and Link instantly recognized a familiar friend. The Sheikah, a couple of years older than Link, wore simple sheikah clothing with a cloth wrapped around his head and face, only revealing his scarlet eyes. Yet, one eye was covered from locks of his golden-red hair.

"Yes, Your Highness?" Conrad said.

"I need you to watch over the girl tonight. Make sure nothing happens to our most powerful resource or to one of the spies of our enemies."

Link walked wearily to his room on one of the higher floors of the castle. Several thoughts reeled through his head that he didn't realize someone was following him through the dimly lit corridors. Finally, the Sheikah faked a cough not too far away from Link, making him jump in surprise.

"What's wrong, General?" Conrad said with a smirk.

Link rolled his eyes than continued walking. "Don't you have something else to do other than give people a heart attack?"

"Meh…" Conrad said as he walked up next to Link, "By the way, Impa told me to give you this."

Conrad handed Link a small bottle containing a red liquid. "It's medicine to heal your arm."

"What about Green?" Link asked as he took the bottle, "She is in a much worse condition than I am."

"The girl? Oh… Impa's making another one right now," Conrad said, "but it won't be ready until tomorrow."

Link nodded as he finally reached his familiar corridor.

"Well, g'dnight…" The Sheikah said as he disappeared into the shadows.

Conrad leaned against a wall in the girls' room. The only light in the room was from the window, but the Sheikah clearly stood out of the way to avoid the chance of being seen. He glanced towards the girl to see if she was all right every time he heard the bed rustle. Hours passed, yet Conrad was awake. He heard the girl move many times, but was too distracted with sleep deprivation to care. After a few minutes, he glanced over to the girl and realized she was out of her bed and slowly making her way to the window that was open. When did that happen? Conrad thought to himself. He gasped when he noticed something shine behind the girl. The Sheikah practically kicked himself when he realized the girl was now, staring his direction.

Kamen walked around the castle in boredom, his shift almost over. A few minutes past when he turned one of the corners to one of the longest corridors in the castle, when he spotted Mark patrolling the hallway.

"Hey, Mark." Kamen said wearily.

Mark was about to answer, but stopped when he heard a faint thud near the end of other side of the corridor.

"Did you hear that?" Mark asked as he turned towards Kamen.

"Yeah…" Kamen said as he strained to hear anything else.

"That sounded like it came from the girl's room..." Mark finally spoke.

Green stood transfixed as she stared disbelievingly in front of her. There was a person in her room, yet she wasn't capable to protect herself. She tried to move, but every step sent pain travel through her body. Before she could react, someone had grasped her good arm, twisting it behind her back. She fell to her knees, shrieking from the intensifying pain. She could feel a sharp, cold object slowly press into her neck, as someone seemed to push her up towards the window. A second passed when she heard rustling behind her. The grasp loosened her arm and the dagger was released from her neck.

Green collapsed onto the floor, not able to move both from pain and fear. A figure appeared in her sight, as he knelt in front of her. Before long, the door to her room opened, revealing two shocked Hylian soldiers.

"What the heck happened?" one of the Hylian soldiers asked.

Yeah! Finally done! All in one day because I was bored and I have been planning this scene for a long time. I decided to update a bit early.
