Okay. Next chapter here. Short, yes, but still at least halfway decent. The descriptions get better, I think. This is where it gets a little fluffy. For you people who don't know what that is… you'll figure it out eventually. Review, you crazy people!

"I'm tired. Let's go back to the castle," said Zelda.
"Okay. I'm losing miserably, anyway," answered Link. They mounted their horses and cantered back to the castle, taking the shortcut through the town. When they reached the barn, they turned and looked at the setting sun. Ginger, ruby, and golden ribbons of sunlight fluttered across the earth.
"Wow, Zelda. That sunset is gorgeous," Link said. "Just like you." He put an arm around her shoulders.
"Ummm, yeah." She tried to pull away from him.
"What's wrong, Zel? We've only been married for a few months. Are you sick of me already?"
"No, but now that I think about it, I do feel a little sick. I'll put Hyacinth away, then just go to bed," she said as she stood up.
"If you're sick, I should walk you up to your room. It's quite a hike..."
"No, you have to take care of Epona. I'll be fine."
"At least let me put the horse away."
"No, I can handle it," she said, leading the dapple-gray mare into her stall and closing the gate. She walked back to the castle.
"Okay, if you say so." Link noticed that Hyacinth was still sweating, and she hadn't been brushed properly. Her water and food buckets were completely empty. "Just a minute, Epona. I need to take care of Hyacinth." He refilled the water bucket and brushed the horse's silver-spotted coat while she slowly drank. By the time he finished, the water was empty again; she had cooled off and was eating. "Zelda would never leave Hyacinth like this. There must be something wrong with her. I wonder… what about that weird guy who showed up with Ganondorf? Maybe he did something," he said to himself. He finished with his horse and walked back to the castle, trying to figure out what had happened.
