A boy with white hair that went down over his ears was on his knees and legs in front of a door. He was waiting for him to come in his, what seemed like a prison cell. He couldn't quite remember how he got there. All he remembered was that he was called to Hyrule for an assignment. This made him scared. Did Roy find out about his special powers? And if Roy did, did he know that he couldn't control them completely?

"Who was that boy?" asked Link to Shiori in Kakariko village.

"Oh, so my brother has finally found you, did he?" asked Shiori.

"He attacked me twice! I almost died once!" said Zelda.

"Come in my house. I'll explain it to you."

Shiori led Link and Zelda into her house. It was so beautiful. It had two beds, which signaled to Link that the Tiger slept in one and Shiori slept in the other, and with all that money they seemed to have for more beds, their parents were dead. There was a small table with four chairs and a candle in the middle. They all sat down at the table. The floor was wooden. Link recognized this floor. It was the House of Skulltula!

Shiori saw the look on Link's face. "So you figured it out, huh? The spider demons that lived here were burned to death two years ago. That's when my brother and I moved here. No one wanted to come in here at the fear of being cursed, so we came to live here, and so far, nothing has happened to us." She poured them some tea. Zelda sipped it quietly.

"But they weren't evil!" Link slammed his hands down on the table.

"We all know that now. But it's too late and I don't think there is much we can do for them now." Shiori was surprisingly calm to Link's sudden outburst.

"So tell us about your brother." said Zelda, also unaffected by Link's strange reaction.

"Well, about two years ago, my brother and I used to travel around the wild with our parents a lot. Marin especially liked going to the jungles in hopes to see his favorite animal, the tiger. Hence his assassin name."

"Assassin? Was he really trying to kill Zelda?" asked Link.

"Doubt it. If he wanted to assume power over all of Hyrule, I don't think he would've gotten it that way."

"Keep going." Said Zelda.

"As I was saying, in one of the jungles, my parents got a deadly disease. And, as you may have already guessed, they died. It is not long until I will succumb to it too."

"You have it too?"

Shiori nodded. "I haven't died yet because I have a natural slight immunity to it. It won't save my life, but it will keep me alive for a while longer. My brother and I came here, in hopes for a cure. But no luck. He became a "hit man" in order to support us. But the constant killing and murdering is something I can't endure."

"Does Marin have the disease?"

"No. He is the only one left in the bloodline whenever I die."

"I'm sorry." Said Link.

"You better get going." Shiori stood up. Link followed Zelda out the door. "Wait Link!"

Link turned around and handed him a shiny and lumpy piece of metal. When Link looked at it he said, "What's this for?"

"I found that in the jungles a while back. Use it when anyone gives you trouble."

"How would this help me? It's just a piece of metal or led."

"Let me show you." Link handed her the lump of metal. When she held it in her hand, she yelled, "Boomerang!" The metal glowed yellow and changed its shape into a boomerang with the Triforce on the tip and vines on the sides. She threw it at a pot. It broke it and flew back to her hands. The metal changed back into its original shape.

"Wow, that's impressive."

"Now go, Zelda's waiting." Link ran to Zelda out the door.

The cell door opened and a man in a brown cloak, hiding his face, came in. "The prince will see you now, Tarron."

The boy stood up, still looking down. He didn't say anything.

"Follow me." The cloaked man said.

The boy followed the man down the stone wall corridors and hallways lit by torches. Even if this was creepy to the boy, he showed no sign of fear. There was a long stairway up to the first floor, and out of the basement.

"Go up, the prince will meet you there."

The boy nodded and looked up as he walked up the endless flight of stairs. Soon, the light at the top grew bigger, and shapes began to form. They looked like people, or places. The boy finally reached the top and opened a door. He found himself in the middle of a courtyard where there was no one to be seen. The boy, confused, looked around. He didn't want to go back through the door again, and he couldn't fit through that hole to his left, so his only option was to go right. He found a square hedge, but there was still no one anywhere near it.

The boy finally made his way to a courtyard with two windows. He saw a man with fire red hair and a blood red cape in a black tunic and brown boots. The boy instantly knew who it was and ran up to him. When he was standing in front of Prince Roy, Roy just looked at him, expecting him to do something. The boy, realizing what he was doing wrong, got down on one knee, put one hand in a fist on the floor the other, on his leg.

"I've heard a lot about you." Said Roy.

The boy remained silent.

"Are you really as powerful as people say you are."

"…" The boy still remained silent.

"Can you speak at all?"

"What the hell are you talking about? Of course I can talk!" said the boy, with no fear or hesitation.

"Getting a little attitude are you? No matter. I called you here for one reason and one reason only, to kill someone for me. Can you use your powers to carry out this task? If you can, I will set you free and send you back home."

"Who's the guy?"

Roy smirked. "His name is Link. He wears a green tunic and white panty hose. He is most likely traveling with a Princess named Zelda."

"Where can I find him?"

"The Shadow Temple, most well known for its infinite shadow traps and monsters born from darkness." Said Link.

"I'm not scared. I'll go in." said Zelda.

They both didn't get across the bottomless pit before Zelda freaked out and ran away.

"We'll just go to the Spirit Temple next……" said Link before he chased after the screaming Zelda.

Zelda was still shaking when they both arrived at the Gerudo's Fortress. Despite Link being a man, the Gerudo's still respected him as one of their own.

Link and Zelda walked over to the gate. The woman standing there, as if knowing what they wanted, opened the gate for them.

(An excerpt from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles)

"I met a man." Said Zelda, "Who said his dream was to find a great treasure, hidden in the desert. Everyone burst into laughter and told him there was no such thing. But the moment I saw this place, I felt his dream would surely come true." Zelda closed her eyes and smiled, "The desert glittered like a sea of jewels under that shimmering sun."

Link smiled. "Yeah, the desert is like a treasure."

Link crossed the river of sand and pulled out the eye of truth. The Poe, still there, guided Link and Zelda to the Desert Colossus. The wind was strong, and Link had to make sure Zelda was close to her so she wouldn't wander away. When the sands resolved itself, the statue of the Spirit Temple came into view.

"What a huge statue!" said Zelda, looking at the huge womanly statue.

"You should see the one inside. Stick close, there are some leevers around here and I don't want you to get hurt."

"I think I can handle them. But for now, I'm thirsty. Is there any water here in this desert?"

"Well, there's a dry oasis over there." Link pointed to a hole with a palm tree next to it.

"A dry oasis? Where's the water?"

"I can play the song of storms." Link pulled out his ocarina and played the song and rain came down, washing away to sand in the air. Zelda jumped in the shallow water and splashed around. Link looked at her as if she were a young child just learning how to swim.

Soon, the rain dissipated and the gray clouds faded as the yellow sun was shining again. Zelda got out of the water, a little embarrassed at how she just acted. She followed Link to the entrance. A few leevers pooped up. Link was about to draw his sword, but Zelda stopped him and through her fingers, four needles came out. "I can handle it." She said.

In one big swoop of her hand, the needles flew out of her hands and hit each leever, killing them.

"How'd you that?" asked Link.

"Practice." Said Zelda, "Just as you said. Practice."

Link smiled as he walked toward the entrance. Zelda was behind him as she followed him. Suddenly, a purple vortex appeared under Zelda's feet. It slowly sucked her in like quick sand as she screamed, "Link! Help!"

Link turned around, "Zelda!" He dove for her. By now, she was in it waist deep. Link pulled on her hand as Zelda was pushing on the ground, trying to push herself out. The pressure was beginning to increase as Zelda's hand slipped out of her glove and was pulled in the purple vortex and disappeared.

"Zelda!" screamed Link. He looked down and closed hi eyes tight, about to cry again. He opened his eyes and looked at the long glove. It was almost as if he were holding her hand. "How could I let her go like that?"

Sand blew in. So much that Link could barely see in front of him. Out in the open came Tarron's voice. "If you want to see her again, come to my battle ground where you faced the dark king's mother, or mothers, whatever. Just come if you want to see her again."

"Where are you!" Link yelled to the air.

The sand soon cleared and the view to Link was clear again. He turned around to see the statue. Somehow, he knew who was behind this. "Roy….." he whispered to himself. "ROY!" he yelled to himself as he ran toward the entrance to the Spirit Temple…
