Dark Link scanned the shadows of the compound of the Gerudo's Fortress, looking this way and that, only seeing soft shadows in the dark. It was so bloody hot in there. He just couldn't stand it. 'It's hard enough being a shadow...but wearing black in this heat sucks!'

He thought to himself as he scanned the shadows a bit more, finding a chest of drawers. Opened up the first one, he winced a little as he heard it creak and groan. 'Great, let's just wake up all of the guards at once, why don't we...' He muttered, as his crimson eyes glowed a bit brighter to let him see in the dim light that was in the room. He looked in the drawer...at first only seeing nothing, and then...a glint of something shown through. 'Ah hah!' He smiled, holding up the necklace...the triforce of Courage gleaming from it.

He then shut the drawer, and left, sinking into the shadows from whence he came.

Abha smiled softly, as she sat on her bed, feeling the softness of it. She enjoyed being the Queen of the Gerudo. It was nice, and somewhat relaxing, though she did have alot of responsibilities. She wondered what she would do if Link refused her offer. She could always take what she wanted from him. It wouldn't be too hard...but that was not her way either.

Biting her lip, she went to the mirror and looked at herself, picking up a brush, and beginning to comb her hair out, watching it gleam in the torchlight. She would wear it down for her and Link's meeting...maybe the sheer look of her with her hair down, and in a soft kimono-style robe would change his mind... This was important afterall...

"Miss Ozarus," one of her servants came in and bowed slightly.

"Yes, Vera?"

"Well, Ma'am...I'm here to report that the Necklace has vanished."

Abha turned around, her crimson eyes gleaming. "What? How! We had an around the clock watch on that area!" She fumed a bit...thinking...who had enough stealth to actually get by that much security? "Bring me Link. I'm going to have a talk with him." She said, smiling evilly. She would kill two birds, with one stone this way...and she had been wanting to talk to him anyway.

Link grumbled slightly, tapping against the walls. He knew in his adventures that sometimes one had to wait to get anywhere...but this was killing him. He looked longingly at his sword lying propped up against the table at the far side of the room. He wished that there was some way for him to get it. Then he might be able to pick the lock, break something, or whatever. As is...he wasn't making any progress.

Looking at his hands, he looked at his left ring finger, seeing a solid silver engagement band that both him and Ruto had. He remembered long ago helping her...he remembered carrying her around throughout the poisonous caverns...and helping her find the stone of water that she had been playing with. He had thought, even then, that she was beautiful...even though they were of different races. She had been a bit of a brat to begin with...talking haughtily to him..expecting him to do everything... but now...he just couldn't explain how he had come to fall in love with her. Everytime he looked into her eyes, it just seemed like he would get lost swimming in their dark pools... He sighed...and hoped that what the queen wanted wasn't too awful much...for he wanted to get back to the Zoran kingdom.

"Hey...get up." A voice said to him, as he heard the latch on the door unlock.

He stood up, and looked, seeing several Gerudan guards with speares aimed at him. "Let's go...Abha wants to see you." One said gruffly, and poked him with the spear. He grunted, and went with them, walking out into the night sky, which he hadn't seen in, what seemed ages. 'Oh Naryu, am I ever going to get out of here? Please protect me as I go and see the Queen...' He prayed, and was taken to a door that had a rough sketch of some sort of a symbol on it. One of the guards knocked, said something in Gerudan...and the door opened.

Link was led into a room that smelled of Ylang-ylang, and cinnamon...and was decorated with candles that were glowing. In the midst of this was a chair, facing another. They plopped him in the chair, and strapped his arms and legs down in it. 'Apparently...I'm not going anywhere...' he thought, as he looked around once more...seeing a bed, and a wooden door to the left, as well as a mirror with a vanity to the right. 'Was this the queen's bedroom?' He wondered to himself, his eyes growing a bit wider. He didn't like what he felt was getting ready to happen...though he didn't know what it would be.

After a little while, Abha strode into the room, making the candles flicker slightly as she did. She walked before him, and smiled, running her hand along his jaw, to his chin...in which he jerked away. She grinned even more, and looked up to her servants. "Leave us," she said, moving back, and sitting in her chair, crossing her legs...which gleamed as if they were oiled or something.

"What do you want," Link asked somewhat weakly, glaring at her. He didn't like this act...it was freaking him out a bit. Hi hands balled into fists as he looked at her...trying to keep his gaze chaste...though something in the air was making his blood flow...he knew that much...it had to be some sort of a spell.

"That I will tell you momentarily." She said, her voice pregnant with seductiveness, as she ran a hand through her silken ebony locks. "Explain to me...Link...this necklace that you saught after."

"Well...it has the Triforce of Courage in it...and I need to keep it away from the wrong hands at all costs!"

"That's what I thought. So you decided to come and steal it back for yourself, correct?" She asked, standing up again, and walking slowly behind him, running a hand through his hair, making him shiver.

"Y-yes...I am the keeper of it..." He felt his breath quicken...what was she doing?

"Well, I suppose you don't know who took it a moment ago, do you?" She asked, leaning down, and beginning to nibble on his left ear gently.

He shivered again, pulling his head away from her...but to no avail...she continued on his ear. "Someone took it! Oh no, Dark Link!" He said, though his alarm was masked by the blood that was rushing from his brain to...other areas...it was just...so hard to concentrate on her questions...he was beginning to feel like he wanted to tell her everything...

She smiled, looking at his flushing cheeks, and running a hand down to his chest. "Dark Link, hmm? I suppose he looks like you, but he's...well, darker, correct?"

He nodded, watching her, his blue eyes glinting slightly in the candle light.

"Alright...well, that helps alot..." She cooed in his ear again, and then walked around in front of him, and sat down once more. "Other than that...I have a proposition for you,"

He looked annoyed, and yet stressed at the same time...struggling with his emotions, and with his weaknesses. He was sweating slightly...as much as he could to keep...certain things...from becoming too riled up at the way that she was talking, acting, and looking. 'Goddess...why does she have to look so hot?' He asked himself as he looked at her again, in the eyes, "What's your proposition?" He asked...his voice getting a bit gruffer...much to his dismay.

"Well, as you know...Ganondorf is gone...and he didn't bear any heirs before he died." She waited for him to nod, and then she continued, "And you killed him...taking away that right to bear an heir."

"Yeah...and what's this have to do with anything?"

She smiled, and leaned over towards him, putting a hand on each of the arms of the chair, her face, her dark eyes gleaming at him, as she licked her full lips softly. "Well...I need you to help us Gerudo perpetuate our species. As the person that took away that availability to reproduce...I need you to take responsibility for that, and..." She leaned closer, letting him smell her scent, and whispered in to his ear. "...help me.."

He shivered once again, "A-and if I refuse?" He asked her, looking dead into her eyes.

"Well, things like that can be taken from you, you know..."

"I...I don't see how...I refuse---ahhhh..." He winced as she grabbed ahold of a certain part of his body, and squeezed.

She smiled, disrobing, and getting on his lap. "It doesn't look, or feel like you refuse, Link." She nipped his ear...as she disrobed him from his pants, and proceeded to have her way with him, with him gritting his teeth all the way, lulled by the smell taste, and feel of her amidst the flickering candlelight.
