"Gray-Eyed Tears..."

Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to
Run and run and run
Be careful they say
Don't wish life away,

"It feels like Hyrule, but the air is different." Link said, taking a deep breath. Weaver smiled as they casually walked towards the swamp.

"Yeah. It's almost like a home, but something is different." Weaver said.

"Hey...what happened to your glasses?" Link asked.

"Din replaced my vision. I can see like a hawk now." She replied as they stepped deeper into the fringes of the swamp.

It was humid, and more like a dungeon than a swamp. There were colorful plants and animals all over the place. Weaver seemed on edge. Something didn't seem right. She stopped the group and pulled out a map. Tatl hovered over it, providing light. Link sighed and stretched, feeling slightly bored.

"Where we're going, Woodfall Temple, should be that way." The Weaver pointed to a path leading into a thick tangle of vines and briars.

"Let's go!" Link shouted, taking off as fast as his legs could take him. Tatl flew after him.

"Wai—oh never mind." Weaver sighed and slowly began to follow. She hadn't even walked twenty feet before Tatl appeared before her, panicked.

"Something bad happened! Follow me!"

Weaver darted along the path after the little yellow light before her. The fairy stopped at a small pool of purple water. Weaver was hesitant. But then she saw why Tatl was so frantic. Link was floating face down in the blighted water. Weaver started to charge in to rescue him but Tatl stopped her.

"It's poisonous!" She screeched.

Weaver shot a line over the water. She ran along it and scooped Link up. Tatl lead her to the one clean pool of water in the whole swamp.

"Don't you dare die here." The Weaver hissed, pouring the clean water all over the boy.

He stirred, and slowly opened his eyes. The Weaver first was relieved, but she knew something was wrong. Link's eyes were a flat, empty gray. Tatl shrieked and tears formed in the Weaver's eyes. Link looked around confused, waving his hand in front of his face.

Link was blind.

"Weaver, are you here?" He asked in a timid voice.

"Yes...Link...you're blind..." She whispered, pulling him close to her.

Two silver tears slipped from her eyes. She stood up, Link clumsily following. She took his hand and led him carefully through the swamp. This would be a harrowing experience. Link was blind, and there was bound to be something bad in the Woodfall Temple. Weaver would have to be his eyes. Blindness was a disease that she could not cure.

They moved slowly, Weaver describing everything in detail. She led him to the temple.

"Link, do you want to sit here? I can go in and take care of this. I can find the one we need to bring to Clock Town..."

"No." Link said firmly.

"Are you sure?" The Weaver asked.

"Yes. If I can't get over this one disability on my own, then I'm helpless..."

The Weaver smiled. She took his hand and they slowly walked through the door to the Woodfall Temple.

As they entered, one tear fell from Link's now gray eyes.
