"Are we ready?"

"Not yet sir, it could be a while."

"Unacceptable, they've already got him."

"I am sorry sir, If we attack now we will lose."

"How much?"

"A week maybe."

"A week?"

"Or two months, give or take."

"We'll attack in three months, then."

"This is ridiculous!" exclaimed Erik.

"Come on, give it a try," Zelda said.

"It can't be that bad," Link reassured.

"It can, I'm sure," said Erik with a sigh.

"Just go in already," Zelda ordered.

Erik, Link and Zelda were walking down the streets of Kakariko village when they came across a sign that said "Fortune teller". Link and Zelda suggested that Erik went in to ask about Rebecca. He went in and found himself in a poorly lit room with a counter and one candle.

"Hello?" Erik called. The place was very dark. He could barely see, even though he had a better sight than most people.

"In a moment dear," came a voice from what seemed to be the counter. An elderly woman appeared. She had fully white hair and wrinkles all over her face. One could tell she had once been a very beautiful woman, "What can I do for you, young one?" she asked kindly.

"Well, I'm looking for someone," he said.

"Hmm, I know not where to find this girl you are looking for," she started.

"How did you know it was a girl?" he asked, very confused.

"Don't believe everything that has been said, the consequences could be disastrous."

"What?"

"Leave now, my boy, while she still draws breath."

"What did you-"

"Go south where horses roam and then turn east to were people grow wicked and demented. Go deep within and you'll find what you are looking for."

"What are you saying?"

The old woman left to her quarters and left a very confused Erik alone. After thinking for a moment he decided to leave the place. When he came out Zelda and Link were waiting to hear the news.

"Well?" Zelda asked.

"What did he orshe say?" asked Link. Erik told Link and Zelda everything the odd lady had told him. After he finished they returned to the castle to think about what the lady had said.

"I think I know what she wants us to do," said Link, "I think she wants us to go to Lon-Lon Ranch and then turn to go to The lost woods."

"How do you figure?" asked Zelda.

"Well, the horses part is pretty obvious, and if one stays in The lost woods for too long he could become a Stalfos."

"Maybe. "e should try," suggested Erik.

"Yes, The lost woods aren't too far," said Link.

"It's settled then, we are going to The lost woods," said Zelda.

Erik decided to ride a horse this time, so the other two could keep up with him. They left around midday so they could get there before nightfall.

"I forgot how slow horses really were," Erik complained.

"Stop whining, we are almost there," Zelda said.

"We are here," Link said immediatly. Erik had never been near the Kokiri forest. He was very impressed with its beauty. They entered Kokiri village and got into the Lost woods.

"What now?" asked Link.

"Well, the lady said that we had to go deep within so I say we go deep into the woods," Erik said, "I'll go ahead, if you don't mind, I feel like I know where to go."

Erik started walking and Link and Zelda followed close behind. They walked for what seemed like forever when they finally got to a meadow with a small cottage.

"I'll go in," said Erik and entered the cottage.

"Do you think this was a good idea, Link?" asked Zelda.

"Well, I walked in these woods all my childhood and never came across this place so I think we are in the right direction."

"What do you think about Erik?" she asked.

"I really like him," said Link, "He's very nice."

"I agree. It had been a long time since we were alone, Link," said Zelda.

"Yeah, I missed it, but I really like spending time with Erik."

"Me too. Link, do you remember, three months ago when I had a nightmare?"

"Yes."

"Well, I didn't tell you then but the nightmare was about you."

"Am I so ugly?"

"No Link! You are actually very good looking."

"Well thank you, princess. You are very beautiful too."

"Thank you Link."

"Well, what were you saying about the dream?"

"Oh yes. Well, we were arguing… you know? I rather not tell. It's a little embarrassing."

"Come on, don't you trust me?"

"Link, you know I trust you with my life. There is no one I trust more than you. You are my best friend."

"I trust you too Zelda, more than anyone else."

"Well, we were in my room and you were sad…. never mind. It's very stupid."

"If you don't want to tell me you don't have to, Zelda."

"I'm sorry Link, you know I love you very much… as a friend."

"I love you too, Zelda," said Link, very sad inside.

"Hello?" called Erik. This place was even darker than the other one. He couldn't see a thing.

"Hello, dear. What do you need?" came a voice from somewhere deep within the house.

"Well-" he started.

"You will need to find my sister for that, dear," the lady interrupted.

"Not again."

"Yes again, I am afraid, dear."

"Who are you?"

"We are fortune tellers."

"Well then, were is your sister?"

"She's deep within the desert, yes dear, I know you hate heat."

"I can't even speak!"

"I am sorry dear, I know what you will say."

"Okay , talk for both of us then."

"You must be careful, an ancient evil is rising."

"What ancient evil?"

"You must stay close to your friends."

"Yes, they're outside."

"Are those your only friends?"

"Yes."

"Very well. You must be prepared, they don't want you alive."

"Who doesn't want me alive?"

"The evil ones."

"I can take care of myself."

"Can you take care of your friends too?"

"Yes I can."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," suddenly a scream was heard outside. It was Zelda. Erik was about to leave when the lady called him.

"Wait! Don't go."

"Are you crazy, they need my help."

"If you don't hear what I have to say you will never find her."

"Say it then, quickly!"

"Go to the desert when the day is night and the night is day. Look for the unseen and face your fears."

"That doesn't even rhyme."

"Who said it had to? Won't you help your friends?"

"There are too many!" screamed Zelda, "Where is Erik?"

Erik came out to find his friends surrounded by Wolfos and Stalfos. There were too many for them to face alone. They had to escape.

"Erik, finally!" exclaimed Link.

"Where did they come from?" he asked, drawing two knifes and throwing them to two Wolfos and killing them.

"We don't know," Zelda said as one Stalfos lunged at her, she parried the blow with her sword, turned and cut the monster in half.

"We have to escape, this way!" ordered Link. They started running deeper into the woods.

"Link, do you know where we are going?" asked Erik.

"Just trust me!"

They ran for a while until they came across a meadow. They got in there and hid in some bushes. The group of monsters ran right pass them. After waiting for some time they got out and started walking to the entrance.

"Were are all these monsters coming from?" asked Zelda.

"I don't know, but someone doesn't like us breathing," said Link.

"What did this fortune teller say?" asked Zelda. Erik explained all of what the lady had said. When he finished everyone was quiet. They walked for a while until they got to the Kokiri village. It was night, they hadn't realized how long they had been there.

"We should spend the night here,"suggested Link.

"We can't, my father is having a party tomorrow. I must get ready, and so do you two," said Zelda.

"We can go on Wind," offered Erik.

"Can she carry the three of us?" asked Link.

"Sure."

"Okay then, let's go," said Zelda.

Erik whistled and a large silhouette was seen on the grass. Wind was very fast indeed.
