KRP – Eh, the fellow with Link knowing Zel's name is a bit of a mystery to me as well, considering that even though I'm making the story. My hands do all the work themselves without me telling them anything, but that chapter is more then likely going to change when the game comes out. Don't worry, them two will meet up as humans sooner than you might think, I'm no good on writing stories beyond 10 Chapters. Finals? I got through them on the 12th ofJune, they are a pain in the neck, but I got through. (but who is to say i even studied?)

Please leave a review.


Chapter Six

Something was nudging her awake. It felt like a horse's face, but she couldn't tell. She just wanted to sleep and not wake up. The horse whined softly, causing her to open her blue eyes, and stared face to face with a light brown horse with a white mane. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she notice that the horse had no rider.

"Who do you belong to?" she wondered aloud as she petted the horse gently, "well, anyway, thanks for waking me."

Zelda started to walk in the direction of the castle when a moblin appeared. Taking a step back, she starts to draw her sword, only to find it felt lighter then normal. Hissing at herself, she remembered the trip into twilight and how her sword broke. With a stubborn growl, she pulls out her bow and quiver of arrows, only to hiss again.

"Why didn't I fucking fill my quiver." She cursed, seeing that she only had five arrows to work with.

With another growl, she dashed around the moblin to confuse it while she notched an arrow. She didn't even stop as she fired the arrow at the beast, only to groan as it lance off, unusable anymore due to the tip breaking off. Tough hide, huh. She thought as she darted around again, notching another arrow, and filling it with the power of fire. Hiding behind a tree, Zelda took aim and fired the arrow, only to watch sadly as it did very little damage, not even a burn mark. The strange horse galloped over, and Zelda climbed on. The horse jogged around the moblin, as it tried to strike her off the horse. The horse was just out of its reach. She prepared another arrow, filled with the power of ice, and fired it. The moblin only slowed down when the arrow connected with its hide. Zelda knew she only had one option left. When Rick stopped teaching her how to use a bow, she brought it upon herself to learn how to use it. Drawing the last two arrows together and notching them, she powered them up with Light, and took aim.

"Adios, beast." She said as she let the arrows fly, watching the moblin hiss in pain as it slowly seems to disintegrate.

Climbing off the horse, she again started to walk to the castle. The horse raced past her as she walked, defenselessly, to the castle. Zelda pulled out her sword, just to see how bad the damage was. It was a clean cut about six inches from the hilt. And I killed the creature in twilight with what little blade is left here? She asks herself in astonishment. Sheathing the broken sword, she continues to walk. She wished that she had a messenger fairy with her as night slowly started to settle in.

Hoof-beats caused her to come out of her auto-pilot state of mind as she looked around. In the clouded sunset, she saw a horse with a rider on its back coming over. Zelda just looked down and continued on, not sure if she should asked the rider to stop and help her out or not.

The rider's horse had other ideas. As it got closer, it nudged her shoulder, causing her to turn and place her hand on the horse's nose. Luckily, Zelda's hood was still up, so she wasn't all afraid of the man sitting on the horse. He himself was dressed in a green tunic with gold chain mail underneath. He also wore a green hat, which caused Zelda to laugh in her head, it was quite the sight.

"Lost or something?" he asked softly.

"No, just loss my horse." She said, wishing she could call Sandstorm back, "I'm trying to get back to the castle."

He seemed to think for a minute, then he slid back on his horse, making room for her. "Here, I'll give you a lift." He said. She could tell he was nervous, but kind mannered.

"Where you from, and what's your name?" she asked as she mounted his horse.

"My name is Link, I'm from Toaru." He said, not wanting to be rude. "You?"

"Zelda, I'm from the castle." She said, as he got the horse to move forward.

"Princess?" he asked

"Could be worse." She stated.

"Heh, right, you could be the queen for all I know."

"Or head of the guard." She said, which was partly the truth, the head of the guard asked if she would like to help when he was away, which she agree to. Both laughed, though, it was a funny thought.

It was only a little while before Zelda placed her head on his shoulder, tired from the events that had past. She was soon asleep on his shoulder, and he could only smile. He was doing the king a favor by taking her home knowing the king would be worried. Twilight had been in place for a long time. Urging his horse into an easy gallop, he hurried to the castle.

The moon had started to set by the time he got to the castle gates. Gently, he woke up Zelda, and she slowly got off of him, trying to shake the sleepiness out of her system. Getting of the horse, both of them started off for the castle, Link hoping to get an award for helping out the king's daughter, and Zelda just wanting to tell her father she was all right.

Link was surprised by the size of the place. He had not really been in such a huge building before, and knew if he lost sight of the princess, he would be lost, and once spotted the guards would ask why he was in the place in the first place. Once outside the throne room, the guards halted both.

"What's with the commoner?" one knight asked

"He's here because he wants a reward for helping me get back to the palace." Zelda quickly said, "so open up."

The guards didn't look too happy, but obeyed non-the less. Once the door was open, Zelda hurried inside, removing the hood of her cloak so she could see well. Her father was in his chair looking over treaties sent from other kingdoms when he heard the door open. He glanced up and saw Zelda, whom he thought to be gone. He got up and the two hugged.

"Where have you been?" Jeramy asked

"In Twilight." She said, and the look on her father's face was enough to tell her that he understood.

"And the gentleman over there?" he asked.

"He help me home." She said.

The king looked up, and motioned for Link to come over. Zelda, who took off her cloak to find her dress was in need of changing but still suitable to wear. She took off the necklace that she was wearing, a sapphire gem upon the chain, and held it in her hands.

"So, do you want anything for an award?" the King asked.

"Uh, not off the top of my head." Link said.

"Then perhaps, you would like this back." Zelda said, facing Link and holding out the gem. His eyes widen in surprise as he reached out and took the necklace out of her hands. Zelda then left the room and headed to her room to change for the day. With dawn rising, she knew that there was no time for sleep, and she might have to take a nap later in the day.
