Second chapter! Yes! Thank you to those who reviewed. I would like more though! I need compliments and constructive criticism!

Thank you!

As hoof steps could be heard from the bridge, the guard woke up from his mid-day nap.

"Who goes there!" The guard blocked the entrance.

Upon looking up, he met the gaze of a smiling Link, bowing in greeting and almost jumping around in excitement. Almost.

"I have an invitation from the princess to her coming of age ball." The hero bowed his head.

The guard did the same, releasing Link and letting him by, the cautious horse passing through slowly.

"Thank you, good sir!" Link called out, before he headed into the busy marketplace. It was like nothing had changed over the past seven years. He saw more knights though, towards the path that led to the castle. Calmly, Link attached Epona to a private pole, while he was greeted like he was before.

"Good morning Mr. Hero!"

"The hero! The hero!"

There were many things said of him. Bowing at all the people with a soft blush on his face, the Hero headed towards the church, checking on the three important gems, and the locked Triforce.

Upon entrance to the quiet building, Navi popped up from Link's hat.

"I've been there since you stuffed your hat on this morning! Why did you forget me!"

Navi was nearly shrieking until Link hid her again, sighing lightly in frustration. He lifted his deep blue eyes to see the six sages, all gazing at the door, before they turned their heads towards him. Princess Ruto immediately reacted, giggling and running up to Link, tackling him to the ground.

"Linkie-poo! You've returned! You're more handsome than last time!" Ruto giggled at a very irritated and flustered Hero.

"Ruto! Off of him immediately! If anyone is to have him it would be the princess!" Impa spat, clearly serious. The immature and jealous Ruto got off, huffing back to her place as Impa, Link's true mentor, stepped up and smiled her encouraging smile.

"We were expecting you. Will you go to the ball?"

"I will. If I will be able to have a dance with her Majesty." Link replied seriously.

Ruto snarled, on the verge of ripping heads off.

Impa nodded her approval, before turning to the other sages and bowing, going over to Link.

"I need to teach you how to dance. And you are not to see Princess before the ball. It's a rule."

Link looked slightly saddened. He couldn't wait for the ball as they exited the filled temple.

And voila! The sages are watching over the Triforce, actually.
