Chapter 7:

"So what sword and slingshot did you get?" Adal asked Adar.

"I got the Hylian Sword and the Goddess Slingshot." answered Adar. "What sword and slingshot did you get?"

"I got the Kokiri Sword and the Fairy Slingshot."

"You're so lucky to get the Kokiri Sword!"

"And you're so lucky to get the Goddess Slingshot!"

"Alright kids, time for bed." said Ruto.

"Can daddy come up and give us a kiss goodnight?" asked Adar.

"I'm sure he can and he will!" answered Ruto.

"Yea yea!" shouted Adar and Adal together.

It was the next day.

"This is so cool! We get to go see Queen Zelda!" Adal exclaimed.

"I know! It's so cool!" agreed Adar.

"Alright you two," said Ruto, "I'm going to give you some advice when addressing Zelda. First, make sure you only nod your head slightly in respect! Second, make sure you call her Zelda and none of that Your Majesty nonsense."

"Why don't we do that?" asked Adar, suspicious that her mother didn't like the queen.

"Because she doesn't like it!" answered Ruto.

Ruto and the children rode on Epona's back to Hyrule Castle Town.

"Hello Zelda." said Ruto.

"Ruto! Fancy seeing you here. And these must be your children." exclaimed Zelda.

"Yes, they are!" answered Ruto.

"Well, what can I do for you?"

"Link and I were wondering if you could teach Adal and Adar how to do your Magic Spells."

"Yes, will you? It would be so cool to be able to do magic?" Adar said excitedly.

"Yes, I've always wanted to be able to do magic like you and daddy!" agreed Adal.

"Well, I don't see why I couldn't teach you my magic, but first you'll have to pass a test." Zelda told them.

"What kind of a test?" Adar and Adal asked together.

"Well, has your father ever told you about the Stalchildren?" asked Zelda.

"Oh yes! All the time!"

"Well, each of you will have to go out alone at night time and fight the Giant Stalchild until morning."

"Where can we find it?"

"Well, you have to pick a single pair of Stalchildren, then you keep fighting that one pair, and eventually a giant Stalchild will come up and after you beat him you'll start all over again."

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Lets get going!" said Adal excitedly.

"It will be night time soon so we'd better go." agreed Zelda.

The wolf howled, telling Adal that it was nighttime. He took out his sword and shield and readied himself to fight. Suddenly he heard a sound and turned around to see two Stalchildren slowly walking toward him. He slashed each of them twice and they split into a pile of bones. Then another pair came up. He did the same thing with them. He continued this with two other pair until a pair came up. One of them was normal sized, but the other was huge, towering over Adal like he was a little ant. The Giant Stalchild slashed him with his claws and left four large gashes on his arm. "Why am I always the one to get beat up?" he thought as he slashed it twice and it disappeared. His arm was starting to lose its feeling. Just as he was starting to get worried that he wouldn't be able to defend himself, he heard a rooster crow, telling him it was morning. He ran into the town as the drawbridge lowered and ran to his mother. They bought him a red potion and made him drink it. It tasted pretty good for medicine and it healed his wound almost immediately. Afterwards Zelda took Adal to her castle courtyard to teach him her Magic Spells and left Ruto to watch Adar practice her sword fighting.

Just as they were finishing Adal's learning of Zelda's Magic Spells they heard a wolf howl telling them that Adar would now be fighting the Stalchildren. Adal who was worried that his sister, being a girl, would get worse injured than he had, ran to Castle Town to wait with his mother at the drawbridge. Morning came and Adal ran out the drawbridge to see her talking to a tall young boy who was about her age.

"Adar, what are you doing? Who's that? Did you fight the Stalchildren? Are you alright?" he asked anxiously.

"Well of course I'm alright. I did get a scratch on my face, but other than that nothing. I'm talking to this Zoranian human. His name is Cavan." answered Adar.

"Well, you'd better get back to Castle Town. You'll need to drink some potion to heal your "scratch". You also need to learn the Magic Spells."

"Oh right, of course. Good-bye Cavan."

"Good-bye Princess Adar. And you Prince Adal." said Cavan. With that Cavan dove into Zora's River and swam back to Zora's Domain.

Adal grabbed Adar's hand and dragged her into Castle Town. "Mommy, Adar needs some of that red potion stuff." Adal said hurriedly.

"Here, drink this Adar." said Ruto.

"Come, we must teach you the Magic Spells which you will learn today." said Zelda.

Chapter 8:

"Today I'm going to take you to see many Great Fairies. These fairies are hidden in caves all around Hyrule. I'll need to give you each an ocarina. I'll then teach you Zelda's Lullaby." Link said to his son and daughter.

"Have you already bought the ocarinas Daddy?" asked Adar.

"Yes, I have. They aren't any special kind of ocarina, they're just regular ocarinas."

"Are they Hylian Ocarinas?" Adal asked.

"Yes, they are." answered Link. "Now the first fairy I'm going to take you to see lives on top of Death Mountain. It will be dangerous so try to be careful." With that they rode on Epona to Kakariko Village. Link led them up a staircase to a gate guarded by a soldier wearing a Keeton Mask. "I see you never gave your son that mask, or did you just like wearing it?" Link said.

"Huh!" was the soldier's reply. "How did you know about that?"

"Surely you remember me! I'm the Hero of Time! You know, the kid who came to you with a letter from Zelda and sold you that mask?" Link answered laughing.

"You? Well, kid, long time no see!"

"I'm not a kid anymore! I'm twenty-three years old."

"Well, you're right, you aren't a kid anymore. But, you're still much younger than me."

"So, you don't suppose you could let me take my kids up Death Mountain, could you?"

"Well, since Zelda did let you go up once, I don't see why she wouldn't let you go up again!" said the soldier thoughtfully. "Okay, open the gate men."

Link led his kids up Death Mountain. They had to fight four Red Tektites that guarded Death Mountain Trail. Once Adal almost got knocked off his feet by a giant ball with spots that neither he nor Adar knew what it was. "What was that Daddy?" asked Adal.

"That was a Goron." Link answered.

"I didn't know Gorons rolled." said Adar curiously.

"Most of them don't, but a few seem to enjoy rolling. Just be careful like I said to be." replied Link.

With that they continued walking, keeping their eyes open for more rolling Gorons. Soon afterwards Link led them up a small trail past a red flag. There were many large rocks that they had to walk around, slowing their pace. Not long after they came to a wall with vines growing on it. Link shot some spiders that were on it and began to climb. Adar and Adal followed. When they reached the top they saw two caves. Their father led them to the one on the right. He stopped in front of it and said, "Now I will give you your ocarinas." He handed each of them a black ocarina. "Now play this song," he said, and he played a beautiful song. "That was Zelda's Lullaby." he said after they had each played the song correctly/

"That's a pretty song," said Adar. "What's it for?"

Link answered, "You'll need it to see the Great Fairy. Now go in that cave one at a time and play Zelda's Lullaby on the gray platform."

"Can I go first, Daddy?" Adal asked.

"Well certainly you can, if that's alright with your sister." Link said. Adal looked at his sister hopefully.

"It's fine with me." Adar said.

"Great!" exclaimed Adal. He walked into the cave and saw a pool of clear water. He saw the gray platform his father had told him about and went over and stood on it. He took out his ocarina and played Zelda's Lullaby.

All of a sudden he heard, "Aha ha ha ha! Welcome Adal, I was wondering if you would ever come!" said the Great Fairy. "I expect you've come here to get your magic. Well, here it is." She raised up her arms and a green light surrounded Adal. "Now when you hold your sword to the side, it will become powered up. But use this magic wisely for it will weaken you. If you start to feel weak, look for some small, forest green, leather pouches. These pouches are filled with potion that will refill your magic. Well, good-bye for now." And with that she spun around in mid-air and disappeared into the pool of water. Adal ran out to tell his sister and father about what had happened. His sister went and learned the same thing as her brother. Then their father told them to hang on to his belt while he warped them to Hyrule Castle Town.

They went to Zelda's castle, went through the gate, and began walking down the path. They stopped right before the path turned and walked over to a hole/tunnel. They crawled into the hole and got Din's Fire from the Great Fairy. They went to one in Zora's Domain and got Farore's Wind from the Great Fairy. After that they went to one more in the desert and got Nayru's Love from the Great Fairy. Link took Adar and Adal home and they went to bed, for it was one o' clock in the morning.
