THUMP. Link's heart beat against his chest as he ran to guard duty after changing into uniform. It beat louder with each passing second. The thoughts of the demise of Eidermand and the slaughter of the little girl swam in Link's conscious mind, wondering why he dreamt about them. Subconsciously, he wondered why the details were so vivid. Link knew that there was something to his situation. He just couldn't put his finger on it.

A cheery air filled the mess hall. They had not yet known of Eidermand's being slain. Link looked at them through sad eyes; he didn't want to be the one to break the news of what happened. As far as they knew, Eidermand was sleeping in his house, tired after working the graveyard shift in Kakariko Village. None of them took notice of Link's depressed manner, nor the blood that stained the hands he carelessly forgot to wash. Link clumsily ate his meal, too pensive and depressed to care about the foot which he let fall onto his clothes. Once finished, he slowly got up to go stand guard, his inner chaos reflecting upon his outer-self. He was silent through out his guard duty, brooding over his past two nights, trying to reach a conclusion. After much internal strife, Link realized what he must do. He had to confide his secret in someone. And he knew the only person he could ask to bear such a burden.

"Malon?" Link said hesitantly.

"Yes Link?" asked Malon, not bothering to look up from picking flowers.

"I need your help."

"With?" she said as she got up to look at Link.

"I've had some weird dreams. And they've come true. That's not normally a bad thing, but they're not good dreams. I've seen two people die in my dreams. When I woke up, I found out they actually did die."

"Ever think it's a coincidence?"

"At first, but then I thought about it. I saw the blade being plunged into the girl's neck. I saw it. I stood watching speechlessly as I saw a dagger fly at my friend's neck. I was there that time. It had to be more than a coincidence".

"Maybe you can see the future?"

"No, it's happening as I see it."

"Maybe you can see other people's thoughts?"

"I hope not. That would torment me, seeing people die, and not being able to do anything about it".

"There are always worse fates, Link."

"Yea, right now, I'm finding that hard to believe."

"Hey Link, its getting late, I gotta go in and sleep."

"Life on the farm that tough?"

"Kinda. Up early, in early. It's hardwork, but it could always be worse."

"I suppose. I'll see you later."

"Bye".

Link left Lon Lon Ranch and headed to his house, tired, hands still covered in Eidermand's blood. Malon's lack of notice of the blood on Link's hand did not settle with Link, who was just happy to see her. Deciding it was too late to do anything else, Link went back to his house to sleep. As he walked, his heart beat faster, his walk turned into a run. The darkness in his head crept in, slowly engulfing all rational thought. Quickly, he fell to a knew and clutched his head as if he had a massive migraine. After a minute, he lout out a scream of agony. He rose to his feet. The darkness now filled his mind and body.
