Author's Note: This time I have an extremely good excuse for not updating!
We went through an extreme family crisis and I wasn't able to do too much
on the computer. And I've been busy with my new job! I am VERY sorry for
the long wait! I understand if some of ya'll are too pissed off at me to
continue reading this story. I thank ya'll for being patient with me
through my hard time.
Thanks:
Shadow Dragonia: Man what happened to you sucks big time!
ayachan21: I won't make Zelda jealous. I don't plan on making anyone jealous in this story. Aeris is attracted to Link, but she knows he loves Zelda and has accepted it. Zelda and Link love each other very much in this story so I really don't want any jealousy in this story. I do have some jealousy in "Lost in Love" and "Return to Clock Town" when it comes to Link and Zelda. But I will consider your request.
Keiko Matsumori: Don't ya just hate it when that happens?
Darth: Here's the update. So sorry for the wait.
Tsukasa the mysterious mage: Yup I use a lot of Final Fantasy names in the story huh? LOL
Anonymous reviewer who had the zillion "updates": LOL! Ya must have done a lot of copying and pasting to post that review huh?
Crystal Senshi: S'okay!
Foofbunny: I wanted to make Ganondorf look like a dork when he said that LOL.
MonoChronos Omega: Yes the true quest shall begin soon.

Link, Zelda, and Aeris gathered their horses the very next morning and prepared to leave.
"Second town within a weak we're having to save, huh?" Link said to Aeris.
"Yes, but this time we have more help," she answered looking at Zelda.
"After the kindness these fairies have shown us, I will not fail them," Zelda said.
"There's the attitude we need," he said.
"We need to be quick though," Aeris said. "If we're going to get back to Hyrule and stop Ganondorf."
Zelda frowned and nodded.
"You know he won't survive," a voice in Zelda's head whispered.
"What?" Zelda asked.
"We didn't say anything," Link said.
"No.......it was a voice.......inside my head," she answered.
"He won't make it......."
"Who won't?!" Zelda demanded.
"Zelda?" Link questioned with concern.
"He won't........"
"Please tell me!" Zelda screamed.
"Zelda, are you all right?" he asked.
"Link, something's wrong!" she said with tears streaming down her face. "The woman told me 'he' won't survive! Who is 'he?!'"
"Maybe Ganondorf?" Aeris suggested.
"It must have been Nayru talking to you," Link said.
"It did sound like her," Zelda said.
"Maybe she was just telling you that Ganondorf will not survive," he said. "You've been concerned for your people every day so maybe she was reassuring you."
"Yeah, maybe that's it," she said. "Well enough time has been wasted. Let's get going."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Gizamaluke, lives deep underground in a cave west from here," Emelia's instructions ran through Link's head over and over again. "Be careful. He has many vile servants."
He rode on his horse with Zelda beside him and Aeris beside Zelda. It would be a very long journey. Of course they wanted to help out the fairies, but they wished they could get back to Hyrule quickly before Ganondorf could do too much.
Zelda seemed very troubled by Nayru's words. She wanted to know what she meant by, "He will not survive."
"I wonder how everyone is doing in Burmecia," Aeris said breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"I'm sure they're okay," Link said. "Gilgamesh can't hurt them anymore."
"I know, but I've never been away from home before," she said.
"Do you want to go back?" Zelda asked.
"No, I want to help you," Aeris answered. "Besides, I want to see Hyrule. It sounds lovely."
"It is," Zelda said. "To the west from my castle there's Gerudo valley. It's a desert land. To the east it Kakariko Village and it leads to Death Mountain home of the Gorons. To the northeast is Zora's Domain. It's such a lovely place. North is Link's home place, Kokiri Forest. It's very beautiful."
"Wow," Aeris said. "I can't wait to see it."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hour's later, "Wait," Link said stopping his horse. "Look."
He pointed to an opening in the side of a mountain. It must have been the cave Emelia was talking about.
"That must be it," Zelda said hopping off her horse.
Aeris and Link did the same.
"This place is so dark.......and full of evil," Zelda whispered.
"Yeah, I sense it too," Link replied.
The three tied their horses to a tree and began making their way into the cave.
Aeris looked around with fear in her eyes. The place with so dark. You could barely see anything. There was cobwebs hanging in ever nook and cranny, there was green slime stuck to the walls, and there were skeletons from what looked like animals and monsters lying on the ground.
Aeris swallowed and hard lump in her throat and pulled out her sword. "I- I'm scared," she whispered. "I-I have a b-bad feeling about th-this place."
"Me too," Link said unsheathing his sword.
There was a screeching noise coming from different directions.
Zelda jumped and pulled out her bow then quickly fitted an arrow.
The walls around them opened up and small demonic looking creatures came pouring out.
Aeris screamed and dropped her sword.
"Aeris, pick up your sword!" Zelda said.
"Huh?" Aeris said. She looked down and quickly picked up her sword.
Zelda shot down one of the demon creatures, Link sliced two of them in half, and Aeris fought them as they came.
"Link, there's too many of them," Zelda said.
"Can you use your magic to get rid of them?" he asked.
"I can try," she said.
She put away her bow and put her hands together.
"Link, Aeris, cover me," she said.
Aeris got behind Zelda and Link stood in front of her.
Link grabbed his bow and started shooting the monsters so that they could not get too close.
Aeris' courage came back to her as she started to just run up to them, killing as many as she could.
Zelda's body was surrounded in a pink aura as more and more energy came to her.
"Link, Aeris, get down!" Zelda said releasing the energy.
Link and Aeris did as she said and knelt down.
The room was filled with pink light and the monsters screeched in horror. They tried to run back to their walls, but it was too late. Zelda's spell turned them all to stone.
Zelda fell to her knees and sighed.
"Are you okay, Zel?" Link asked.
"I'm fine," she said wiping her brow. "Let's go."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They walked further into the cave until they reached a staircase leading down at a dead end.
"I guess we have to go down?" Aeris said.
"There's no other way," Link pointed out. "I'll go down first."
Zelda put her hand on his shoulder.
"Link, be careful," she said. "Nayru's words still haunt me."
He grinned and gave her a quick kiss. "I'll be fine," he assured her.
She took her hand off his shoulder and he made his way down the stairs.
"It's too dark," he thought. He pulled out a fire arrow and used it as a torch. "So far it's just a fusty old staircase," he called back up. "Come on down."
"Go on, Aeris," Zelda said. "Link will be in front of you and I'll be behind you."
"Okay," Aeris said walking down followed by Zelda.
Aeris sneezed several times because of all the dust and Link had a bunch of moths flying at his torch.
"This place is so filthy," Zelda muttered.
"Filthy is an understatement, princess," Aeris pointed out.
"Wait.......what's that?" Link said stopping.
"Sounds like.......crying," Zelda answered.
"Maybe it's the captured fairies," Aeris suggested.
"Let's go," Link said continuing forward.
The three ran to a large room that contained different cells.
"It's the captured fairies," Aeris said.
"Who are you?" a female fairy asked.
"It's okay," Link said. "We're here to rescue you."
"You three must be Link, Zelda, and Aeris," said a voice in the shadows. A creature stepped out and smiled evilly. "I am Gizamaluke."
"How do you know our names?" Zelda demanded.
"The Great Ganondorf told me all about you three," Gizamaluke answered.
"You know Ganondorf?" Link asked.
"Yes," Gizamaluke answered. "In fact he gave me a gift in exchange for your dead bodies."
"What 'gift'?" Aeris asked.
"A special fairy," Gizamaluke answered and clapped his hands together. A cage appeared in front of him revealing a fairy. This fairy did not look like the ones from that land. This fairy was like a round blue ball of light with wings.
"Navi!" Link gasped. "If you harm her I swear I'll rip your head off!"
"Link, calm down," Navi said. "He's using me as bait!"
Gizamaluke put her into a cell and smiled.
"Now........who wants to die first?"
"You!" Link growled pulling out his sword.
Gizamaluke's body started changing. His claws grew six inches longer, his teeth grew too, and his eyes started glowing blood red.
Zelda fitted a Light Arrow in her bow and quickly shot the hideous monster.
Gizamaluke growled and found that he could not move.
Link dashed towards him and lunged his sword into its chest.
Gizamaluke snarled at him and threw him aside like a rag doll. Though Link stabbed him in the chest, it did no damage.
"He's weak against fire!" Navi said quickly.
Zelda nodded and started charging a Din's Fire spell.
Aeris ran to help Link.
"Link, are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine," he answered getting back up.
"She's charging a spell," she told him.
"Din's Fire," he said. "I need to help her."
He got up and started charging his Din's Fire spell.
"Cute," Gizamaluke smirked and held his hand towards Zelda.
"No!" Aeris screamed and threw herself in front of Zelda getting a full blast of his spell. She screamed in pain and fell to her knees.
"Aeris!" Link gasped.
"Link, the spell!" Navi said.
He didn't hear her. Instead he ran to Aeris' side.
"Aeris?" he knelt beside her. "Aeris, wake up."
Gizamaluke laughed. "I guess she dies first!"
Link clinched his fists and shot him with a Light Arrow.
Zelda released her spell and Link shot Gizamaluke with several Fire Arrows until he ran out of magic.
Gizamaluke growled and fell to his knees.
Link and Zelda walked up to him and looked at each other.
"Let's finish him off," Link said pulling out his sword again.
Zelda nodded and pulled out her daggers.
Together they stabbed the evil monster killing him.
