Disclaimer: I own very little, and unfortunately it does not include the Legend of Zelda Series

As Impa turned the page a prepared to read aloud yet another chapter, Link could not help but interrupt, as he had been avoiding for quite some time, "Excuse me, but I have to go to the bathroom," he spoke up slightly embarrassed.

"Very well," the woman spoke, settling aside the tome.

After Link had left the room, the Princess turned to the red headed girl and spoke, "Why does he keep doing that?"

"I know, righ'?"

Upon entering the palace, having told the guards of their mission and assuring no harm, a young servant boy approached Nabooru, bowing his head as he spoke, his long blond bangs covering his eyes, "I was asked to escort you to the Great Hall."

Without another word, the boy turned and began to walk, the older women following behind, "Say kid what's your name?"

It was on his return from the royal lavatories that Link heard her voice, "What kind of name is that!!"

"Nabooru, what are you doing here?" the young hero asked as he ran towards her.

"I could ask you the same thing kid."

"Book of Spirit

Chapter 2:

Dealings

"Your Majesty, I have just spoken with the harbor master. He has assured me that the Royal vessel shall be ready to depart within the month," Sir Wyatt reported proudly, having accomplished his mission.

"Very good, I thank you Sir Wyatt," the Princess spoke, but from the corner of her eye, she could see the hidden look of disappointment on the seer's face as he blew away his long bangs. "Theo, is something the matter, I thought you wouldst be pleased?"

"A month is an awfully long time and the journey alone will require at least five. I know that it should not matter, but I cannot shake the feeling that if we do not find the first sorcerer soon, we may lose our opportunity." With his back to an outside wall of their inn, Theo stared out at the ocean and once again sighed, "I suppose I shall just have to do something about this."

Pushing himself off the wall, the young man entered into Haven's, one of Hyrule's many providences, bazaar, followed in short by his personal guardian.

Nearly an hour had passed before at last the two returned to the inn, "We shall be leaving on the morrow."

"Theo, you are amazing. However did you accomplish such a feat," the wide eyed princess praised, causing a low grumble to fall from Sir Wyatt's lips.

"It wasn't very difficult, I simply signed on to another vessel," the boy shrugged, causing far more wide eyed expressions, even from Sir Robin.

"Are you suggesting that you wish for Her Majesty, Princess Zelda Alexandria Hyrule, to travel on the vessel of commoners?" Sir Wyatt spat as the distance between the two decreased until the large knight was nearly on top of the seer.

If Theo had even noticed the looming figure, he had shown no sign as he crossed his arms, "I do more than suggest. If Princess Zelda Alexandria Hyrule wished merely to slow down our journey then perhaps she should have stayed in her castle."

"Why you arrogant little…"

"Sir Wyatt, that shall be enough," Zelda spoke up. This was a test, she just knew it. Theo was manipulating the situation once again to see how she would respond, just as he had done to the knights in their battle. But unlike the Knights, Zelda was determined not to fail… yet still, to be constantly surround by such people for months on end, could she truly handle this? "Tell me, what are the details of this arrangement?"

A small smirk appeared on Theo's face, just the answer he was hoping for, "I have secured the last eight beds and have managed to find space for the horses as well. The carriage however that is another story, we will have to leave it behind. Are you alright with that?"

Five months was one thing, but to endure the discomfort of riding side saddle for the duration of the journey, this was simply asking too much of the pampered girl. Yet still, she did so hate to lose, "By chance, are you aware of when the next vessel is to depart."

"Three weeks from now, we truly are lucky that we arrived when we did," the sorcerer responded, pretending he was unaware of why she wished to know.

"And what of our luggage, where shall we store our clothing. I cannot image there to be much room within a common vessel. At least so I have heard."

"I've already thought of that," he smirked then nodded his head towards Erol whom responded by removing nine small burlap bags from his belt, "We picked them up in the marketplace."

"You expect us to fit all of our belongings in those shabby things. I doubt it shall even hold my mirror," Sir Ethan spoke up, comb still in hand.

"Quite right, in their current condition, these bags are completely useless," Theo spoke, noting the gleeful smirk on Wyatt's face, 'Fool.' He pushed past the knight and took the nine bags from his companion's hands. "However with a little magic, they will be able to hold a hundred times their size."

"Master Theo, are you sure you are up to this. Do you not remember what happened last week?"

"Yes Erol and I assure you, I will be fine. It is only a mid level enchantment," and with that, the boy began. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and spoke his words, "Allargarse" A dim light transferred through the sorcerer's hands into the fabric as the enchantment took effect, "It is done, now if you'll excuse me; I am going to take a bath. It shall be quite awhile before we next get a chance."

The next morning came and the troupe began loading into the ship, squeezing between the commoners whom squealed and whispered in the presence of the Royal and her knights, paying no heed to the seer who so easily blended in with the crowd.

Upon arrival within their rooms, Sir Wyatt took it upon himself to begin organizing. "Hm, it will be a tight fit, but I suppose that we could all fit if we share, Seer," the man smirked, making sure to remind his companions who was to blame as they looked upon the two small bunk beds, "I suppose Sirs Leo and Aries will wish to share a bed, I have worked with Sir Ethan in the past so if he doesn't mind, I'll share with him. Robin, Tobias, you two may take the bottom bunk." With a false look of surprise, the knight at last turned around to where the seer and his knight were standing, "Which means that the last bed will be yours. I mean, if that's alright with you, 'Master Theo'."

"Not at all, but I can't help but notice that you seem to have forgotten I reserved another room," Theo responded calmly to the smug man.

"That would be for her majesty, afterall, a lady such as herself should not be exposed to such indecencies."

" I agree, though surely one must wonder which indecencies to which you refer. I mean certainly, there is nothing that we men would expose that Zelda has not already seen," while he spoke, Theo unbuckled his tunic belt unnoticed until at last he had finished his words. With one swift motion, he lifted his light blue tunic above his head, revealing his pale hylian chest, causing the princess's face to flush and her eyes to avert out of habit.

But still the seer was not done as he walked towards the princess, the angry knight's eyes blazing at the top of his ponytail, "For certainly she has arms, and when first we met, her own breast had but begun to differ from my own. So perhaps this is the indecency of which you speak, Sir Wyatt." And with that, the seer continued to remove his pants, leaving the boy in nothing but his braies (basically medieval boxers). "Tell me Zelda, do you not have legs?"

Side to side the blushing Princess looked for one whom could give her the answer to such an awkward question, but there were none to be found. It would seem she would need to find such a thing on her own, "I suppose I do."

"You see, and beyond these comforts, one could simply enter another room if they be wishing to change, so it would seem I still have yet to find an answer. However, I do know that if you are planning to do something truly indecent within this room, as you have declared, I am not certain I would want to be exposed to it myself." And with that, the seer scooped his clothing from the floor and continued to the next room, receiving many stares from the people in the hall.

"Princess, are you not going to say anything," Sir Wyatt pleaded, only partially out of concern for the girl.

"After a display such as that, what is there left to say," the princess spoke to the ground as she attempted to regain her composure. Turning to leave, the girl placed her hand delicately on the doorframe then in one elegant motion, turn back her head, "Sir Erol, shall you not be joining us? I believe it is your duty to protect the seer."

With an astonished nod, the knight crossed the room to join her, and together they crossed the portal.

"Surely you must enjoy causing chaos, do you not?" Erol smirked that night as seer and he waited outside their room as the princess changed into her chemise.

"Without conflict, what reason would there be to overcome?" Theo spoke from his seat on the wooden floor, "Besides, you can't tell me you don't take delight in watching Wyatt make a fool of himself."

It was the first time that the knight had ever heard his charge laugh, and he could not help but join in. It was not until laughter had died down that the young knight spoke, "I wish I could stand up to him the way that you do."

"Well why can't you?"

"Surely you jest, you know as well as I that they do not respect me. They believe that simply because I am the son of the captain of the royal guard, that I do not deserve what I have, and it doesn't help that I was almost slice in two when the moblins attacked," a sigh escaped his lips as the knight slid down the wall, "I just can't help but think, 'If only I were faster, I could have shown them.'"

"Hm, don't kid yourself. If a person wishes to despise you, they shall always find a way," Theo spoke in his normal nonchalant way and watched as the knight's face seemed to fall further. It was strange, the seer's philosophy had always been to speak the truth if a lie would be pointless, and had never before guilt about the words he spoke, but now that he was looking into the eyes of his logic's victim, he could not help but feel responsible, "But if you would like, I would be will to help you train, at least for the next few months."

"What do you know about swordsmanship?" Erol half laughed at the seer's offer.

"Not one thing, but can you think of anyone faster?"

"I suppose you do have a point, alright, you have yourself a deal."

As Erol outstretched his ungloved hand, Theo could not help but flinch. With a deep breath, the seer reached out his own and shook.

"May I ask you a favor?" It was a beautiful woman who spoke to him, who was currently Erol. Theo felt as his head nodded slightly down, "When you leave this place, will you take me with you?"

"Of course, how could I refuse? After all, you did save my life."

"Master Theo, are you alright?"

Waking from his vision, it took the sorcerer a moment to realize what he was asked, "Oh yes, I'm fine, I was just thinking that the Princess must surely be done by now."

With a nod of agreement, the two lifted themselves from the ground and reached for the door, "Oh but one last thing."

"Yes?"

"It's Theo, just Theo. No Master."

"As you wish…Theo." With that in mind, the knight turned the door to reveal a beautiful young woman brushing her long golden hair, wearing nothing but a chemise reaching barely to her knees, "What was that you said about legs again?""
