Ok well I have a good excuse this time as to why I don't have it done right away. Wait for it, wait for it…. I was in Florida for a while, I had regents to do, and when everything was done I forgot that I had a story to write (I am a tad bit slow hehe) and I was trying to think of more to write for this one and have it be somewhat long. AND one last reason, when I actually did finish typing it wouldn't let me on fanfic for some reason so I had to send this to a friends comp that worked and get it all set up then. I don't think I will have any interruptions by the time I get the next one done though so you can probably expect that one a little sooner. Well I do hope you like it though. (I really need to think of something better to say.)

'ALL WILL DIE… Once the Dark One comes… ALL WILL DIE.'

"Agh."

"Hey I think he's coming around!" Zelda shouted to Torec. She has been by Link's side since he passed out.

"Good, make sure he doesn't try to get up yet, make him stay down for a while because if he tries to get up he will probably pass back out." Torec told Zelda as he was going to get Link some more medicine for his wound which is highly infected.

"How… long… have I… been out?" Link asked Zelda who was telling him to stay down.

"About two days. That poison on the blade must have been very powerful we have only been able to stop it from spreading through your body but we haven't been able to get rid of it. It is really infected. Just stay lying and tell me if you need anything." Zelda told Link.

"Agh. This hurts… so bad. I need some… water please. What type of… poison is this?" Link asked.

"We aren't to sure and as soon as you get your strength back we will take you to this doctor that Torec knows. I think the sooner we leave the better but I also think we should wait to see if you get any better because Torec says he lives quite a ways away." Zelda brings Link the water. "In three days we go." Zelda told him. Torec walks in with some medicine and some herbs.

"This medicine will help close the wound and keep the poison from spreading too much. The herb here will help it from hurting as much and will help you gain some of your energy back for the trip we will have to make." Torec was telling Link as he was putting the medicine on his wound. "As soon as I am done with this I will go and see if anyone is back looking for Zelda." Torec finished and left the cabin.

"Hey Zelda can you help me sit up, I am sick of lying down.

"Um sure I don't think it will hurt to let you sit up. Just don't try and get out of bed." Zelda told Link as she helped him sit up. "Do you need anything else?"

"No I'm fine but I have something to give you." Link reached into his tunic and took out the gold ring. "Here take this ring. It was with my other rings that I found in my tent. This one will allow for you to be able to stop time for a very limited time in which only you can move or whoever has the ring. I am not sure how many times you can use it but I am sure that it will be very handy especially how things have been lately." Zelda takes the ring from Link and kisses him on the lips.

"Thank you so much, this is beautiful. Even if I never have to use it I will love it because it's from you." Zelda gets in the bed with Link and puts her head on his chest. " I love you so much."

"I love you too Zelda." Link says back as he starts to stroke her hair. After a while they both fall asleep.

"Hurry both of you, get up NOW!" We are have to hurry we can't stay here for more than an hour or we will all be dead so let's go!" Torec started shouted as he was running around and getting the most valuable things from his cabin. He took Link's sword and put it on his back knowing Link will be unable to fight and took the rings and put them in his pocket. He grabs a couple days worth of provisions and medicine for Link.

"What is going on, what's wrong?" Zelda asked helping Link get up.

"They are back and they will be here within an hour if they keep up there pace. This will leave us with an hour and a half tops but I don't really want to risk it so we leave now. We are going to go to my friends place to see if he can't help Link." Torec said quickly while getting the last of the stuff and getting it in a pack on his back. They got everything ready and were helping Link walk. They left as fast as they could, going through the woods following Torec's directions. After a while they are out of the woods and on the plains. They keep running resting only once to give Link some water and medicine. They keep running until it is finally dark. "We will rest here during tonight I don't think they will find where we went right away so we should be fine. I will keep watch though for most of the night." Torec told them as he was unpacking the provisions. After eating and getting a slight bed made, Link and Zelda soon fell asleep. Torec stayed up most of the night keeping watch and only fell asleep about an hour before dawn.

"Hey, Torec, get up." Zelda said as she was shaking him trying to get up. Torec shook his head stretched.

"Ugh, I must have dozed off." Torec said while stretching. "Well we better get moving can't stay at any one place for too long." With that they helped Link get up and started back following Torec. "We should be fairly close by tonight and if we don't have any problems we might even make it by nightfall." Torec told them as they continued on. They kept going until they reach a mountain cliff. "Well we have to go passed the mountain or we have to go around the mountain. If we go around the mountain it will take us an extra three or so days but going through the mountain might be difficult for you Link. Choose what you want to do." Torec told Link.

"I've gone through worse things than a mountain, so let us go there because I don't know if we will have the time to waste." Link answered as he was trying to find the best path for him to start. And with that they set off through the mountains.

"They are heading through the mountains master. But with the weak one they will find a lot of difficulties." The cloaked figure spoke.

"Heh, I wouldn't call him weak if I were you. Even with that poison he will live for a long time. The average person would have been dead in less than an hour. Yes he is stronger than you think Jirshi." Loronze told the figure.

"He is no match for my skills. I could kill him before he even saw me. There is no one even close to my skills. That is why I am called the Dark Flame, if you can't see me you can't defend yourself and if you can't touch me then you can't hurt me." The assassin told Loronze.

"You have one chance and if you fail you better be dead, if your not then you will wish you were." Loronze told the assassin and left the room.

'Don't you worry I will kill him.' Jirsha thought to herself. With that she left the room back to the mountains. She kept going stopping only once for food and water and kept on going. She continued through the night. It was near dawn when she reached the mountain base. She started up the mountain following the tracks and drops of blood left behind. She followed the tracks for a couple hours until the tracks suddenly stopped. She tried to find any tracks at all and after an hour of searching she stopped. "Damn it, I'll get them tomorrow." She muttered under her breath. She made sure she was hidden and fell asleep for the night.

"We are almost there. Probably in an hour we will reach it." Torec told them.

"Exactly where is this place we are heading to?" Link asked.

"Ascalon. Where I was born and raised. It has been years since I have been here. I wonder how my family is doing after all these years. I wonder if they are even alive. When I left, Ascalon was in bad shape. I left to try and find treasures from around the world and bring back to help my town, or at least my family. After at least 8 years of searching I finally ended up in Hyrule about 3 years ago and made my home in that forest about 1 year ago. Well, let's continue on then." Torec told Link and then they started back up. 'I can hardly believe 8 years, seems like yesterday I was saying goodbye to everyone.'

Well there you go! Again I'm sorry about why this took so long but I made up for it by making this a lot longer. The next one I won't promise to have up sooner but I should have it up sooner.
