Take first, kill later

Disclaimer: Don't own it. WHAA!

It was around the last time he woke up when Lunar got another memory painfully shooting into his brain.

He was dragged away, kicking and screaming, they won't let go. He struggled and pushed, but they won't let go, they want to take him somewhere, but he doesn't know where. He doesn't remember what he did, he thinks it might be in his past; it might be what happened to him before he forgot everything. When they brought him to the place they threw him in a cell and he ran to the door pressing his ear to it. Slowly he hears murmurs; they are going to kill him. He begs that his memory will return before it does, then the beads chimed, louder this time. He shivered and slipped into his pocket to pull out three beads, one red, one green, and one blue. He smiles and clutches them, clanking them together as they made the chiming sign. Then the guards come in and see nothing.

Lunar burst up and shook his head clear of sweat realizing where he was again, in the room, hearing Fern's quiet little snores. He glanced around and noticed Fern's sleeping figure nearby, he smiled and slipped out of the bed and out of the room. When Lunar arrived in the kitchen Romanie was there making breakfast and offered him some eggs, which he ate hungrily and then went into the living room looking at the ashes.

It was quiet even while Lunar chanted what happened in the memory, would it happen to him? Would he be taken away and was to be killed? He wasn't sure and he dearly hopped no. But it didn't matter much for it was only the morning and by the memory it happened in the middle of the day. As he sat there Romanie soon came into the room carrying the book. Lunar flinched and stared at the book, a little bit frightened because it might send another memory. Romanie sat on her usual chair and opened the book. Lunar continued to watch as she flipped the pages to where they last left off, as he did so he mustered up his courage and sat firm in the chair ready for any memories to come rushing in.

"I felt like reading, if you don't mind, but I think Fern will mind, oh well. Lets begin." Romanie said smiling then licking her lips. Lunar straightened up in the seat and clutched the armrests, exited.

50 years ago…

Link was the only one, who wasn't at the Castle eating, but of course, he rarely ate with Zelda and her brother, but it didn't matter. The only thing Zelda thought Link was doing was wondering what Aaron said, of course, he wouldn't tell her what he said though. Maybe it was so confusing that he couldn't quote it or he just didn't want to, if there was a reason, she didn't know what it was. But it didn't matter much, she had finished her conversation with her brother about the aide as well, he would arrive tonight. The news of his arrival tonight made her angry but she ignored her anger and started to think up possibilities on why Aaron had came.

After a while of eating, Nohan swallowed down his food and coughed. "You know Zelda, it won't be so bad with the aide coming tonight. I mean, don't you want someone to replace Impa?" he asked smacking his chest to swallow the food correctly.

Zelda thought of that for a while holding her head with her palm as she did so. "I don't know. Impa was a good aide, and nobody would replace her. But I guess. We do need someone to replace her, might as well get him." She said dropping her head and resting her forehead on the table. Then she shot her head up, "Lonar!" she shouted, and Lonar came dashing into the room.

"Yes, Zelda?" Lonar asked, panting.

"You can go now. I don't need you for the rest of the day." Zelda said, smiling, glad to finally let him go.

Lonar stood where he was and shook his head, trying to understand what she said. "Are you sure? Or did I just hear that wrong?" he asked balancing himself against the wall.

Zelda nodded. "You heard it correctly. And I'm perfectly sure. Besides, I'm sure you want to go see your friends… and loved ones." She added smiling under her napkin she had just picked up.

Excitement bubbled up and Lonar was out the door just before anyone could even blink. When he was long gone Zelda laughed and threw her head back with laughter. "What is it, Zelda? What's so funny?" Nohan asked looking at the dust curling up from Lonar's speed.

"Oh, Nohan. It's nothing, it's just, I always feel sorry for him, and there was always a rumor that he was in love with one of Malon's friends. I used this opportunity to see if it was true. And just finding out it was true is so funny. But I really shouldn't be laughing, I mean, being taken away from your loved ones for such a long time. I feel like a very mean person." Zelda explained thinking herself to be a fast talker.

Nohan dropped his fork and snapped his jaw back up. "Yeah right. I got yah. I get it. So you let him go so you wouldn't feel like a very mean person. And you wanted to see if he did love someone. I see." He said and bent down to retrieve the fork.

Then Link came in with his hat gone and scratching his blond locks thinking about something. Nohan stood up when he grabbed the fork and noticed Link. "Hey, Link!" he shouted waving the fork in the air and loosing his grip to send the fork flying into another room. "Ooops!" and he ran after it.

Zelda laughed and stood up from the table, glancing over at Link as she did so. "Link. I didn't expect you to be here."

Link laughed as he regained himself glancing around for something then looking back up at Zelda, scratching his head. "Yeah, I didn't really expect to come back either. But I just had to for some reason. Well not really some reason. Malon's friend told me to come over here and talk to Lonar, but I passed him on the way over here and told him what she wanted. But well, he was about a quarter of the way there. He's a fast runner." Link exclaimed glancing around again. "And I lost Sprite somewhere too."

"Really? Well, I haven't seen a fairy floating around here." Zelda explained glancing around then shrugging.

Link nodded and put his hands on his hips. "I know, I know. But I wonder where that fairy went. It's odd though. I lost her when Aaron left. Do you think she followed Aaron? I bet so. Some fairy's are very curious." He continued glancing around again and walking down the hall still searching for Sprite.

"Couldn't be–." Zelda stopped as a knock came to the door nearby them, the milk delivery door.

Zelda stared at the door making Link walk up to it and open it. There in the doorway was Kotake, the old witch with her nose large and pointed and her robe ragged and her hair ugly, as usual.

"Quick Link. Come out here, you to Zelda. Nobody must see this. Come, come." Kotake said grabbing Link and Zelda's arms and pulling them out the door. Once they were all outside Kotake shut the door and turned around towards them. "You must listen. Koume wanted it to be confusing, but I think otherwise. Link. You must listen well." Kotake said leaning forward to Link who backed away one step from her large nose. "Don't be afraid, Link. Listen, you to Zelda!

"There is a dark sword in a lost forest, not the one you know. Nobody has ever been in this forest, nobody have ever found it either. A dark sword lies there, stuck in a stump. It is a dark and evil sword. Many rumors have been spreading at the Dark Temple, rumors that Ganondorf wondered into the forest before you destroyed him. During those 7 years and pulled the sword out. After that he used the sword to set a curse. Nobody knows what the curse is. But I thought it best to tell you, Link. It is a very dangerous sword, and I think Ganondorf wants you to find the sword and take it, the sword might curse you. He'd probably force you to use it and send you somewhere between the future and the present. Koume still believes in Ganondorf, she told me to tell Aaron to come here and tell you that riddle. You need to understand the riddle, because Koume is watching over everything I do and she will do something horrible if she finds out I'm telling you all this." Kotake continued seizing Zelda by the arm and pulling her closer so she can hear.

"You must know about the sword too, Zelda. For I may be wrong on Ganondorf wanting to use it on Link, he just as might want to use it on you for revenge. Revenge is a tricky thing to coop with, Ganondorf would use his lust for revenge to power the sword and any of you both could be lured to the power of the sword, it will lure you to pull it out of it's resting place. You will know it's the sword because of the darkness in it." Kotake continued shaking Link and grasping his shoulders. "I know for a sure fact that Ganondorf will go after you though, Link. If the sword did happen to grasp you, you still might be able to get out because you both aren't evil. The sword can absorb things too so Ganondorf could use it to absorb your strength. Don't forget either, Ganondorf is returning. The winds in the dessert have changed, it means only one thing, Ganondorf is returning."

Kotake let go of Link's shoulder and let him tumble back. "Now I must take my leave." She said and in a puff of smoke she was on her broom then she flied away.

"Link? Please tell me you have an idea for all of this." Zelda asked staring up at the sky where Kotake vanished.

Link sat up and shook his head clear so he could think. "I'm not sure. It hurts so much. I don't even know if we can believe what Kotake is saying." He said and stared at the sky. It was starting to turn to noon. He shivered as a wisp of air brushed across his arms. And he opened his palm to notice three round beads in his palm they weren't there before. Kotake had given them to him.

"The wind here has changed as well." Zelda whispered under her breath.

50 years later…

Lunar felt the surging pain as a memory shot into his brain and he saw himself in the cell again, listening to the voices outside of the cell. They were talking about him in tiny whispers, and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out the beads, one red, one blue, and one green. Lunar shook his head and realized that Romanie had stopped from a knock at the door.

Romanie groaned and shut the book, stood up and walked over to the door. Lunar continued to hold his head in till he came back for a second and started to pull himself off the chair and away from the door as Romanie put her hand on the knob and opened it. In the doorway were four people wearing armor, two with swords, one with a scroll, and the last one with a spear. Romanie gasped and stepped back as the guards rushed into the room. Lunar struggled as he pulled himself away and the one with the scroll opened it.

"We hear by arrest this thief." The guard said and rolled up the scroll. Lunar grunted as his elbow hit the side of a chair and a shot of piercing pain shot up. Shaking and collapsing he gave up, knowing that the memory would come to life as the three guards rushed in and grabbed him. He didn't struggle; he was far to weak and bored of doing it, trying not to bypass it, he knew at the first moment he saw the memory the second time that the guards would come soon and get him. Romanie hit the guard with the one with the scroll and screamed.

"What do you mean, thief? He didn't do anything! Let him go! Lunar, no!" Romanie shouted. But it was far to late as the guard pushed her to the ground and slammed the door. Lunar was doomed, beyond savior.
