Lol, Crazy Guy...you certainly don't seem to like Navi...=P

Thank you, sensei, I am your loyal...erm....grasshopper. I'll do my best, lol. =D

Hm....stupid sages and stupid Ganondorf... I like!! The Real Legend? Nope, never heard of it...sounds interesting, though. =P

I almost forgot about the disclaimer!!! (gasps)

(fires hookshot and pokes dozens of holes in it)

The market was a horror.

Navi moaned. "What happened...."

All the houses were torn down, and the once beautiful jewel encrusted fountain that poured out sparkling water was now black and littered with shiny black bugs.

But worst of all, there were ReDeads scattered all over the place.

"Who are you?"

Navi heard the voice first and looked up in surprise. The voice sounded very familiar.

"Alan...?"

The man who spoke looked at Navi, scratching his head. "How do you know my father's name? Well....you ought to get out of here...ReDeads are dangerous. Come, I have-"

A melody slowly echoed through the market. Navi looked at Link in surprise, who was playing the ocarina.

"The Sun's Song, "he said simply. "I just remembered. And Navi, there's something on top of your head."

Navi stuck out her long tongue and sucked it up.

"Hey, it tastes like pie. When did I get pie on my head?"

"What flavour?"

"Blueberry."

"Mmmm."

The man was gaping at the pair. "You...you freed the souls of the market."

"Erm...isn't that what the Sun's Song does?"

"I know that you aren't spies of Ganondorf now...please, follow me."

Moving quickly, the man opened the door, motioned for them to follow, and ran inside.

Navi shrugged. "Nothin' better to do. Might as well follow."

Link nodded and ran after him.

A few minutes later, they were in the house, sitting down as the man spoke and as the fireplace crackled with fresh light.

"I know now that you are...you used to be friends with my father."

"You wouldn't happen to be..." Navi slowly started to put it together. Was this the boy that they helped several years ago, before they entered the Temple of Time?

"Yes," he said happily. "I'm Francis. You are...Navi, and Link, right?"

"Um....it's the other way around."

"Oh, I apologize. My memory is very vague. I have something to give you."

"What?"

"A map." Francis said proudly.

"Erm....we've got one..."

Francis looked disappointed. "From whom?"

"A really irritating owl."

Link glanced at Navi, confused.

"Kaepora didn't give us the map!"

"Really...?"

-Flashback-

"Wait, I didn't catch all that. Can you say it again?"

Now Kaepora looked completely angry, irritated, AND strained.

"Forget it," Kaepora snapped. "Just go and talk to the princess, okay?"

The owl flew off. Navi resisted the urge to fly off with Kaepora and instead yelled at Link.

-End-

"Oh, now I remember."

Link nodded in agreement. "She was really annoying. Is she still around?"

"I hope not..."

"Ahem," Francis said impatiently. "Since you didn't get a map, here."

Francis handed them a piece of parchment that had purple, curly writing.

"This is very detailed," he explained. "It can be very useful for you. You see, Ganondorf's fury caused the citizens to flee, just before the market was struck with a blow."

He sighed.

"I made it out in time, but my father....he...he had to help everyone, as a guard, and didn't...didn't make it."

"I'm sorry." Navi said quietly.

Francis waved away Navi's apology.

"It wasn't your fault anyways....my father and I spent years making this map, because we were going to go on a camping trip around Hyrule. You need this more than I do. Take it."

"I'm sorry, "Navi began. "But we can't...it's the only memo-"

"Thanks," Link said sweetly, pocketing the map.

"What are you doing??" Navi hissed.

"Navi, look at this!!!"

Navi glared and started to read the small, cramped writing in the graveyard part.

"Oh my Farore...."

A red circle was drawn around the Royal Family's tomb, and in curly writing, it said clearly, "Play Zelda's Lullaby and the tomb will open, but beware because ReDeads-wait, someone healed them. Never mind."

"How...how do you know???" Navi asked Francis, scratching her head in confusion.

Francis grinned. "We had to prepare..."

"Well...how come you...why are you holed up in a house, and not in Kakariko or something?"

"Are you kidding me???" Francis laughed in disbelief. "Kakariko is not a safe place. Ganondorf plans to strike and take over it next."

"Why hasn't he done it several years ago??? And how do you know??" Navi demanded.

"Ganondorf just caused everybody in the market to run away. The inside of the houses were actually untouched. Everything on the outside...well, he cast a spell, making it seem like he destroyed it all, so nobody could take refuge. Pretty useless, anyways, with the ReDeads flitting around."

Navi couldn't believe him.

"You lived in a house for several years when you knew that outside ReDeads crowded the empty market." Navi repeated in a monotone voice.

"Yes."

"How did you survive??? How did you get back into the market without...without..."

"Getting killed? I was small, for a kid, and I knew a secret way into my house. I was pretty strong, and I dug a small tunnel outside with the help of my dad in case of an emergency. When my dad didn't come out, I snuck in to find him....but...yeah....I stayed in the house for a long time, because I was afraid of Ganondorf. As for my food supply, I get it from Lon Lon and Kakariko-"

"Don't they charge you rupees?" Navi interrupted.

"Nah, nice people, they are."

Navi tried to absorb all the information as she studied the map some more.

"Look, Link! There's even Kokiri Forest on the map!!!"

Link grabbed the map from Navi and stared.

"Hey, they have Mido's house on here!! WOW! Mido had a basement!?!!?!?!?"

"What??? Pass me that!! Hey, is that...by Din, that's...that's...your house, Link!!! They have every detail on it! Your couch is tablets...the T.V.......this is...this is incredible!!! Your...what you do each day is here!!!!"

Link was now looking distrustfully at Francis.

"Is he a stalker or a spy?"

Francis was grinning.

"I had some help," he answered simply. "Now, you better get out of here. And don't get out through th-"

Crash.

Link had tripped over some wire tied to a small stick buried in the ground right in front of the door. After that, some cans fell down, bopped him on the head, and a bucket of paint mixed with water splashed all over him.

"-the door," Francis finished, laughing. "There's a set of booby traps. When you came in, I disabled the alarm. A little protection from ReDeads and Ganondorf won't do any harm."

"Yeah," Link sputtered, wiping his eyes. "'Fer sure."

"Here...let me help you."

Francis grunted, and heaved Link up.

"My, my, aren't you a slippery mess. You look like a real monster with all that paint on."

Thirty Minutes and a Towel Later...

"By the way...." Navi started slowly. "Why did you come out of your house?"

"It's a real lucky thing I found you...I was looking out of the window and a saw a splatter of green followed by blue coming out of the black and brown."

"Oh."

"If you need some advice, feel free to see me again. Goodbye!!"

Francis hurried off.

"Ok, Link...I have an idea. Let's visit Lon Lon! At least we'll see a familiar face."

"If you mean Malon, no way."

" 'Fraid of a girl?" Navi teased. "A seventeen year old?"

"Let's go."

Navi grinned.
