Hey, I'm currently experiencing a bit of writer's block, So I've decided to start another story. This DOES NOT mean that there will not be any more updates on 'To Find The Future, Find The Past'.They will just slow considerably. I have to begin pacing myself, because I have to begin studying hard for school... the writing is sort of an outlet for me.

Anyway, Please R&R!

A Tale of Love

Prologue

Link washed the drying blood, and many other bodily fluids, off his face. He wasn't too fussed about the rest of him, but he at least wanted to be recognised. It would do him no good at Hyrule Castle, where the guards would have to recognise him to let him pass.

Walking through the Market, he remembered how small it used to be compared to this. It had expanded well past it's original boundary, and was now out almost halfway to Lon Lon Ranch, although anything outside the original wall had to protect themselves, as the King didn't see fit to build a new wall to defend them, even though they were officially considered a part of Market-Town.

Stopping at one of the small stalls, he purchased a small package of herbs and a few potions. The potions were for him when he set out again, but the herbs were for Princess Zelda, whom he visited at least once every month. He looked forward to his visits, and seemed to measure his life by them. Although he did not have the courage to tell her, he was madly in love with her, and had been since he first set eyes on her.

Who would've thought it? The Hero of Time, Bearer of the Triforce of Courage, and Champion of the Gods, afraid to tell a girl how he felt? Sooner rather than later, though, he would probably never have the chance to tell her again.

Link looked up towards the castle. He sighed, and made his way up the path.

PRINCESS ZELDA'S CHAMBERS

Zelda looked out the window, tears in her eyes. She tried desperately not to let them fall, but did not succeed. They spilled down her cheeks, leaving red streaks behind. Thankfully, though, she didn't break out into sobbing.

"Why?" was all that she could ask, turning to face him, "Why are you leaving?"

"I must." Was all that he offered.

"Link," she held a no nonsense tone of voice, "Tell me why."

"I'm needed in Termina again…" Link looked out the window, just as Zelda was doing before, "An old friend of mine just passed away, and I need to help her younger sister run the ranch… Until she gets married, anyway."

Zelda's heart sank. Link would probably be the one that the girl chose to marry. The Goddesses knew that Zelda had her eye on him for a husband for several years now. Zelda looked down at the floor.

"Fine." She finally said coldly and harshly, "Go. You might as well never come back." As soon as she spoke the words, she regretted them, but she didn't apologise. The look on his face told her that she hurt him, but she didn't care. He deserved it, after he had hurt her like this.

Link hung his head, and walked out of the chambers. Zelda couldn't help but think that this would be the last time she would ever see him.

"Goodbye, Link," Zelda whispered, watching him disappear into the sunset through her window, "I love you…"

Well, that was the prologue! I've got this story all mapped out, and it will only be a few chapters. No more than ten. If its not finished by chapter ten, then I went WAY overboard!

Again, I say, please R&R!
