Chapter five

Link, Namara and the fairys spent the night in kakiriko village. Once morning came, Namara went to explore the grave yard, and Link decided to take the day off and just wander the village. He walked past a group of village women, but paused when he heard what they where talking about.

"Did you hear about the monarchy in Termainia?"One asked.

"Yes, the guard from north Clock town was named king because he suggested they vote on a royal family, and his was choosen because he showed strong leadership in convincing everyone to establish a monarchy." Another women said.

"Ooo, and did you hear that their Princess went missing?"

"Yes, i did, she disappeared with out a trace." One of the wemon noticed Link and handed him a flyer. "If you see this girl, you must take her back to Termainia."

"Thank you." Link said folding it and putting it into his pouch. He headed toward the grave yard to ask Namara if she knew about the new monarchy.

Link entered the grave yard to see Namara leaning against one of the grave stones in the streaming sun light. He felt a nervous lump in his throught.

"Hey Namara!" He called finnaly. Namara looked over to him and motioned for him to join her. Link walked over and sat beside her.

"Hear anything interseting?" Namara asked.

"Yes, actually i just heared about a monarchy in Clock town."Link said.

"You dont say." mumbled Namara.

"But most interesting of all..."Link begain. "Their princess has gone missing, i have a flyer here with her picture."

Namara gasped. She gave Link a look as if to beg him not to unfold the paper, but he didnt notice.

"This is her right...here..." Link paused as he unfolded the paper. At the top was a pictograph of Namara sitting at south beach watching the Indigo-gos play in a concert.

"Link... i can explain..." Namara mumbled, tears in her eyes.

"Explain what? Why you have been keeping such a huge secret from me?"

"I didnt tell you because i was afraid you would haul me back to termainia...please dont be mad..." Namara begged. Namara closed here eyes, expecting him to yell at her. Instead, she felt his arms around her.

"Its ok...I wont take you back if you dont want to go. I already promised no harm will come to you, and as long as you make it home in one peice, im sure your father wont mind either." Link said softly.

"Thank you..." Murmured Namara, resting her head against Link's chest, and she fell asleep. Link ran a hand through her hair and leaned against the grave stone, and fell asleep himself.

Link woke to find he was alone in the grave yard, at least he thought he was. He heard a sinister laugh and turned to see the skull kid, and Namara who was tied up.

"Wakey, wakey." The skull kid cackled. "Such a spirited boy...and very annoying indeed."

"What are you planning with Namara!" Demanded Link.

"What else?" The Skull kid asked cocking his head to the side. " Im going to kill her."

"Let her go!" Shouted Link. Vines begain to grow from the ground, they wrapped around Link's arms and legs and fasend him to the grave stone.

"Now all you can do is watch." The skull kid said as a sword matirilaized beside him. He placed the sword at Namara's neck. Link closed hid eyes tight, and heared a scream.

Link woke with a start to see Namara still in his arms. It had been a dream...an awfull nightmare. He tightend his hold on Namara, that nightmare had scared him beyond reason. Namara woke and looked up at him.

"Something wrong?" She asked softly.

"No, just a bad dream." Answered Link. "Why dont we just stay here untill the fairys find us."

"Good idea..."murmured Namara, falling asleep again. Link sat and thought for a moment. He wanted Namara to have some fun. It had probaly been weeks sence she had any good times. Then he had an idea. He allowed him self to fall asleep, he would make sure Namara had fun tommorow.

The next morning, Link woke Namara early.

"I have something planned today." Link said to her. "Put your hand on my shoulder, dont let go."

Link pulled out his orcarnina and played a light hearted melody, and small lights surrounded them.

When they could see beyond the lights, they where in a large building made of white stone, standing on a triforce platform.

"Where are we?" Namara asked.

"This is The Temple of Time." Link said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the back in the room with the pedistal of time. "your going to love this."

Link stood on the pedistal of time and drew the master sword. Namara made him feel like he was a kid again, so he wanted to go back to his real childhood with her.

"This place is beautiful..." Namara whispered.
"But thats not the surprize." Link said dropping the master sword back into the pedistal

---

Namara felt as if she had woken from a long sleep. She woke to see a younger link looking down at her. Linked helped her up, and she took a good look at her self.

"Im a kid!" She squeecked. "Im ten again!"

"Yeah! Me too. This was the surprize. I wanted you to have fun, and all a kid has to do, is have fun!" Link said.

"Awww, thats so sweet." Namara said hugging Link. Link felt his face turn slightly red.

"It was nothing...lets go!" Link took Namara's hand as he had before, and led her out of the temple. "I know the best place to go if your a kid."

Link and Namara traveled across the feild at a run, laughing the whole way, and laughing at each other if they fell. They went on like this untill they came to the entrance to the kokiri forest.

"The forest?" Namara asked.

"No one knows how to have more childish fun than those cursed to be children forever." Link said brightly. "Lets go!"

Namara chased after Link as he ran through the tunnel and across the bridge, and into the forest.

The Kokiri children enjoyed seeing link again, and haveing soemone new to play with. But soon, the sun was setting and it was about time link and Namara return to themselves.

"Namara! Its time to go!" Link called out. Namara sighed, she hadnt had so much fun sence she actually was ten.

"But...You have to catch me first!" Namara bolted, and link couldnt help but chase. They where laughing with and at each other again. Link finnaly caught her around the waist in a fond embrace.

"We better go." He whispered in her ear. Namara nodded, and Link let her go and pulled out his orcarina again and transported them back as the Kokiri children cheered Link for catching Namara and waved to them untill the lights faded into the distance.

---

Once they where their selves again, Link replaced the Master sword in it's sheath and turned to Namara.

"Did you have fun?" He asked.

"More than ive ever had in my life." She answered.

"But now, we have to get back and find the fairys, they are probably worried." Link reminded Namara.

"On one condition..." Namara said. Link gave her a questioning look. " You have to catch me first!"

Link smiled and chased after her. they ran around inside the temple untill Link caught her from behind just as he had seven years earlier.

"Time to go..." He said softly, kissing her on the cheek.
