A/n: Finally, after what seems like forever, chapters six and seven are done. Took me a bit, I know, but I got stumped on seven, which ended up a short chapter. I'm trying to get them finished, honestly guys, don't give up on me yet, please?
Standard disclaimer applies and can be found on chapter one.Chapter Six
Having raided what buildings were still standing in the market place, Link hadn't found much for their nameless charge. A white top made of a gausey like cotton material and a matching skirt were his find, though he had found both peices in different houses, as well as a pair of white leather sandals. It wasn't much, but it would work for now. Back turned, the Hero of Time realized he had no clue where to go next. Surely he couldn't just wonder Hyrule's land completely clueless... Could he? Looking back at the temple, Link decided it might be best if they headed back, perhaps hecould get some sort of hint? Could he be so lucky?
At the nameless girl's cough to get his attention, he turned around to see how it looked. Surprisingly it seemed to fit her in all the right places, as if it had once belonged to her. He had been worried because he hadn't been sure of her size. Now that he got a better look, it seemed the skirt had slits running up the sides. Hmm... At the chance to get better clothing, he'd be sure to do so. The outfit didn't leave much in the way of protection and could only last so long while traveling.
"Looks good," he commented, giving her a smile to know his words were friendly.
As she smiled back, he turned to let Navi know they were heading back to the Temple of Time. He would have left their new charge there in the Market Place, but was concerned that redeads may show themselves once again and felt he couldn't take that risk. His back turned to her, the pale blonde female scamperedforeward to reclaim her stuffed toy. It was special to her, that much she knew, and couldn't bare to part with it.
Rabbit in hand, she snuggled it before turning back to see what her "savior" and the glow bug were doing. However, as her midnight blue eyes scanned where she had just been standing she found they were no longer there. In fact they had begun to leave with out her! Whimpering, she took off after them, latching onto Link's arm once she had caught up. How could they have left her like that? Feeling his gloved hand gently pat her head, she knew he was apologizing.
The Temple of Time, the Triforce's resting place, was made of stone that seemed to be able to withstand the wear and tear of time. Although it was easy to see the past seven years had not been kind to the ancient structure, as it was all ready beginning to show it's age. Inside, it was laid with marble, a limestone pedestool housing three didferent colored gems laden with gold back towards an open room. It was a gorgeous structure. Immediately the pale blonde was enamored, wanting to get a closer look at the pretty jewels. But as she moved foreward, stepping onto the limestone "warp landing" pad, her body froze and seemed to refuse to any further foreward.
Link, having just passed the pedestool holding the Kokiri's Emerald, the Goron's Ruby, and the Zora's Sapphire, when he realized he wasn't being followed. Turning around he noticed her still on the warp pad and it seemed she had no intention of moving anytime soon. Blinking in confusion, he began to walk back towards her ti find out what was wrong. However, as he neared, her eyes widened and she stepped back skaing her head. She seemed scared of something, but Link couldn't figure out what.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked once he was a foot or so away. He knew it was kind of pointless to ask, she couldn't speak as far as he knew.
"No... I won't go."
Sapphire blinked in mild surprise as a crystaline voice echoed about the temple. Had she just spoken? He didn't know the voice, though it was clearly female, so it had to have come from her. And yet he was sure her mouth hadn't moved at all. He looked around for a sign of anyone else, maybe some one was hiding about trying to play a joke?
"Please don't make me return to that place."
The voice spoke again, but instead of looking around as he had done last time, Link watched their nameless companion. She, too, seemed surprised by the voice, midnight eyes wide in surprise, hands over her ears as if to block it out. However, registered on her face and deep in her eyes, was recognition. She seemed to know the voice that had no phsycial body to it. If she did, in fact, know it, then from where?
"I don't want to go back to that lonely place... Let me stay, please?"
Now Link was really confused, where was it she didn't want to go? "Return where? I don't understand what it is you are trying to ask of me!" Shaking his head increduloudly, Link let his eyes travel around while Navi remained fixated on the girl. She could see tears in her eyes, as well as confusion. Hell, who wasn't confused at this point in time? Looking closer, Navi noted that her crescent moon marking was lit dimly -if even at all- while the marking for the Triforce was lit full force. Who was this girl?
"She is Serenity, the last of her kind," spoke a new voice, this one androgenous, neither recognizable as male or female. "And she is the physical embodiment of the Triforce."
Bunny-chan13: Glad you like the story, as slow moving as it is :sweatdrops: Eh... as for the answer to your question, just wait and watch. I have it all planned out... sorta
Midlight bunny: Thank you muchly, glad you like it. And more is on the way, promise.
Angel-Goddess: Well, I'm glad to see you're so excited about this.:laughs: I have to admit, I was surprised at the lack of SM/LoZ cross overs myself. It really is a fantastic mix if done correctly, ne? I hope you like these two new chapters and I swear I'm trying to get them longer and out faster. It's just a bit difficult since I'm writing as I go. :sweatdrops:
FlickeringLight: Oi! lol! Anyway, I'm glad to see people do like this, I was afraid no one would. And no worries about it being not fnished (if that makes sense.) I have every intention of finishing this, even if I have to push myself to.
Thank you all for reviewing and keep an eye out for my notes, yes? I might have to have you all do a small poll for me.. Aaanndd sorry about the sudden change in format... :sighs: The italicized words were supposed to be Usagi's subconscious speaking through out the temple, but it didn't show up. Ah well... Thanks again!
Luff, the Bunni
