I have an explanation for why I haven't updated... School. I've had a lot of work lately and I'm sorry about that. I've also been reading a new book that came out recently.

Link was tossing and turning on his makeshift bed mumbling incoherent words. Link was dreaming about his battle with Ganondorf, but instead of him winning he lost and died. Then his dream would shift to show his wife mourning him, crying over his grave. Before it could change again he woke up panting, he felt his chest expecting to feel a deadly wound on it. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was just a dream.

He went out of the cave and to the lake in front of it to splash some cold water on his face. He had this same nightmare many times before, he thought that he wouldn't be scared of this nightmare anymore. But, it would seem that wasn't the case, he'd always wake up thinking he died. Leaving his wife all alone and his kids never existing.

He got up and walked back into the cave, packing up his things and hopping onto his horse. Deciding to take his time going back to the castle, he made his horse gallop slowly. He looked around at the nature while enjoying the peaceful silence around him. He didn't get this when he stayed at the castle, Zelda and the others would always go out exploring the Shrines or just traveling anywhere they wanted. It annoyed him sometimes because sometimes those were the days he had nightmares and just wanted to be alone.

He made it back to the castle just in time to see Zelda and the champions making there way to where the guardians are.

?-"Link!"

Link turned to where the voice came from and saw it was Zelda, who was motioning for him to come over. He quickly put his horse up in the stables and walked over to her.

Z-"Were going to see the guardians, do you want to come with us?"

He nodded his head and followed them to the court yard.

Z-" We need to see the guardians in action and we were wondering if you would like to battle one?"

Link was hesitant at first but nodded his head in agreement after a minute of thinking. He went to the center of the court yard, pulled out his sword, and got into a fighting stance while a guardian with a sword and shield came up.

Z-"You can start now but don't destroy the guardian we need as many as possible to defeat Ganon."

With that they guardian came up and swung the sword down towards Link. Link jumped back, avoiding the sword. Meanwhile, Zelda was writing down notes from the fight in a journal she had. Back with Link he landed a couple blows but had to dodge before he got hit by the sword. After he dodged he swung his sword back towards the guardian and landed a couple more hits before he backed away.

Z-"Okay you can stop thats all we needed to see."

D-"Great job little guy, that was awesome."

Link put his sword back in its sheath and started walking towards Zelda and the champions. He was about half way there when he heard something shoot, he quickly turned around and saw that the guardian shot a laser at him. He dodged but he wasn't quick enough and still got hit in the chest. The guardian started walking towards him before it was shut down.

Zelda and the Champions-"LINK!"

Zelda and the champions all ran towards Link, Mipha went a head to start healing him forgetting that it didn't work on him. The king was walking through the castle when he looked through the window just in time to see Link get shot. He quickly made his way to the court yard wondering what had happened. When he made it there he saw Mipha trying to heal him and the others surrounding him. He could see a pool of blood forming around Link, when he looked at Links face it was twisted with pain for a while before going back to his stoic expression.

K-"What happened?!"

Z-"Link got shot by the guardian! We were just seeing how the guardian did in battle. We shut it down when the battle was over but then it shot Link before it was completely shut down. Mipha how is it going? "

M-"He's not healing! Why isn't it working!"

The king saw Mipha start crying when Link wouldn't heal, everyone knew she had a crush on Link. But only him and Link knew it could never happen. One, Link only loves his wife. Two, he was more than 200 years old. He looked back at Link and noting by how much blood he was losing he was shot close to his heart. He knew Link wouldn't die but he couldn't help but worry about him.

Link knew this would take about two days to completely heal, some arteries were hit in the blast. He was pretty sure it was really close to hitting his heart, only having to go a bit more to the right it would have. He didn't know what he would do now, it was obvious they all thought he was going to die but he wouldn't die. He could feel his arteries slowly mending back together, it was a really uncomfortable feeling. He knew his secret would be exposed because it was impossible for anyone to survive this. In a couple more minutes his arteries should be repaired, then all the bone and muscle destroyed would take almost a day each to heal. Mipha quit trying to heal him a while ago, she was now sobbing in her hands. While Zelda was turning a bit pale from all the blood she was seeing. A few minutes later they noticed that his skin was gaining color again, and that the blood had quit flowing.

R-"His skins gaining color again and the bleeding stopped, how? It's impossible to be able to survive this kind of injury."

Z-" Did your powers work Mipha?"

M-"No... They weren't working I don't know what's happening."

Link motioned to the king while Zelda and the other champions were questioning how this was happening. He motioned that they would have to tell them. The king sighed and nodded, obviously worried on how they would take it.

K-"We have something we need to tell you. Meet us in the throne room.

The King ignored their protests and walked towards Link to help him up. Once Link was up he followed the king to the throne room, ignoring the surprised looks his friends sent him when they saw how easily he moved with such an injury.
