Link glanced nervously behind him. Navi looked at Link, agitated.

"You've been looking behind us for ages," Navi grumbled. "What's the matter?"

"Sebat," Link replied in a voice barely above a whisper. "He's watching us, isn't he?"

Navi pushed Link's shoulder playfully.

"What are you talking about?" she demanded. "Sebat isn't watching us..."

But even so, the fairy looked up quickly at the watch tower hoping that man was watching them with binoculars. Thankfully, she spotted no one.

"Nobody, see?"

Link shivered.

"Sebat has the habit of popping up when you least expect him." Link said mysteriously.

Navi stared at the watchtower for a few more seconds before snorting, "Bah!"

Link looked ahead uneasily, his fingers curled tightly around the hilt of his sword as if Sebat might jump out and suddenly attack.

"Calm down, Link." Navi said soothingly, but she glanced left and right every few minutes, unsure.

"Eeek!!!!" Link jumped ahead and fell flat on his face, crying out, "SEBAT!"

Navi immediately flew up high and spotted a confused looking Goron, who's fingers were in the air as if he touched Link on the back. Link scrambled to his feet, brandishing his sword. The poor Goron yelped and backed off, his palms raised in a sign of peace.

"Oh...a Goron..." Link sighed in relief.

"No! Not a Goron!" the Goron seemed to shout. His whole skin fell off and Navi's nose wrinkled. There was glue on every inch of the inside of the costume. It fell off to reveal none other than Sebat!

Link squealed and started running up the trail, his arms flailing wildly in the air. Navi floated up high, secure and safe.

"NO GUARDS TO HELP YOU NOW, EH?" Sebat roared. He started to chase Link, wringing some tomatoes and potatoes this time. "I bring new weapons!"

Link felt something wet and squishy hit the back of his tunic. Dreading to know what it was, Link ignored it and kept running. Then he felt something hard slam into his foot.

"OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH, MISTER!" Link bellowed as he wiped away the tomato and picked up the potato with menace.

Sebat smirked and charged, letting out a wild war cry.

"This is getting too dramatic," Navi muttered, sighing.

The potato in Link's hand started to fly through the air and hit-

"ARGHHH!" Sebat screamed as the potato hit his nose. "Mah dose is doderly doken! I'll due da!"

Then he ran off crying, rubbing his nose gingerly.

"I think that's rid us of that stalker," Link smiled and started trotting up the path again. "Anyways, he won't be as dangerous now."

He tossed his head back and let out a victorious laugh. Navi rolled her eyes and shivered. It had suddenly gotten colder. And it might've been the fairy's imagination, but...why was it suddenly darker?

Navi glanced sideways and heard some chittering.

"Link, I don't think the Tektites moved away during seven years, you know." Navi squeaked.

Link's face paled as he slowly turned his head left. There were five Tektites in total, their ruby red eyes gleaming with bloodthirst.

"I don't want to see what's in the right." Link moaned. Navi took a short glance and sucked in some breath. A horde of Tektites slowly approaching.

"Wait, what did Azarn say again?" Navi asked, hope growing.

"The Tektites are easy to scare!" Link exclaimed.

Navi's sad face broke into a big watery smile.

"RARRRRRR!" Navi bellowed in a voice that did not sound like her own. Her cry echoed for thousands of miles. All the Tektites shrieked in horror and fled, hopping on top of each other in their frenzy to escape.

"Eeek!" Link screamed, starting to run back in the direction of Kakariko Village. "Run, Navi! There's a monster!"

Navi shook her head in disappointment, sighing.

"That was me, Link." Navi said dully, her nose wrinkling.

Link froze, his foot in the air, ready to take another step. His shoulders seemed to resume their relaxed position as he took a quick look right and left.

"Oh, I knew that." Link said shakily, still white. "You know...just trying-"

"To fool me, right?" Navi finished, rolling her eyes.

"How'd you know?" Link asked, looking truly amazed. "Can you see the future? Read minds-"

"No-" Navi began.

"Cool!" Link nearly shouted excitedly. "What's going to happen in the future? Huh? Tell me!"

"Link," Navi said through gritted teeth, "I cannot tell the futu-"

"So you just don't want to tell me, do you?" Link said harshly, glaring. "Not worthy of your skill in fortune telling?"

Navi sighed.

"Link, I CAN'T tell the future!" Navi yelled loudly, making Link flinch. "I just...guessed!"

"Humph, fine. Be that way." Link grumbled. "Just lie to me, why don't you?"

Navi gave an exasperated sigh as she floated forwards.

Link started to jog back on the trail, continually begging Navi to tell him.

"O great seer, please bless me with thy fortunes." Link pleaded.

"Where'd you learn all those words?" Navi asked, dumbfounded.

Link shrugged.

"What do those words mean? I just checked it on Webster's 1,433 page dictionary."

Link rummaged in his pocket for a few seconds, and a huge block of a book nearly fell on the ground as Link staggered with its weight.

"It's a bit heavy," Link panted. "But it's really useful sometimes. I just picked some really complicated and weird words."

"I can't believe all of this junk fits in your pocket." Navi said incredulously. "It's a miracle the sewing hasn't broken yet."

"It's because it's my little baby." Link cooed, patting his pouch. "It's special. It'll NEVER break."

As if on cue, the sewing suddenly ripped apart and the cloth fell to pieces, brilliant rupees of every colour falling out.

"It'll never break?" Navi said sarcastically as Link frantically tried to repair his pocket.

"Noooo..." Link moaned. "My pocket!"

Navi sighed. "Here, give me the cloth."

Link handed Navi the cloth that held all the rupees and junk in the pocket. The fairy floated over to the bare spot and examined the stiches carefully.

"It can be repaired." Navi said finally.

"Oh, thank Din!" Link sighed in relief.

"It'll take some time," Navi boomed, feeling like a doctor talking to a mother. "But after the operation he'll be fine."

"Oh, good." Link wiped his brow with a hankerchief. "Thank you, doctor."

"No problem," Navi replied in deep bass tones as she set off to work. Carefully with the fairy's teeth, she weaved the thread back through. It was a tiring job, and Navi resisted the urge to cry out in frustration many times. Finally, after a few hours, it was done.

"Thanks, Navi." Link said, watching closely as she finished the last stitch. Then he started piling all the rupees back in.

"Wait, Link, what're you doing?" Navi asked, alarmed. "The pouch will break again!"

Link reluctantly took all the rupees out.

"But my babies are getting cold!" he whined.

"You need another spot to put them in." Navi replied calmly.

"Oh, fine. But where?"

Navi looked down at the ground. "Well..."

Thirty Minutes Later

"There, done." Link said, throwing the last shovelful of dirt to the side. There was now a huge hole beside them in the trail. Navi had insisted that they place the rupees there.

"Good." Navi said, who had been observing the whole time. "Now, put your rupees in."

Link reached into the pile of junk and pulled out some white cloth. Then he placed it as a soft blanket in the hole before pouring in all the rupees.

"Do I have to cover them up?" Link complained.

"Unless you want someone to steal them," Navi replied grimly.

Link shuddered in reply and carefully started to fill the hole up. Then he patted it a few times for good measure and marked a small x in the dirt.

"Great, we lost a lot of time." Navi groaned as she looked up into the night. Link shrugged.

"We're not in a hurry," Link offered. "Let's get going. We're close to Goron City, anyways."

"Link..." Navi said slowly, "did you realize we're re-visiting the places we did when you were a child?"

Link thought about it for a few seconds.

"That means we have to go and meet Ruto again!" Link shrieked, looking horrified.

"Calm down." Navi said soothingly, although that was in her nightmares too. "Not till we beat this boss, 'member?"

Link nodded shakily and sucked in a deep breath. They were nearing Goron City. The sky had darkened considerably, and Navi swore it wasn't her imagination, but she could hear it so vividly.

Whispers.

Dark, tormenting whispers that haunted Navi's mind and nearly drove her crazy. Then she heard something worse.

A sob. A scared, fearful sob. And it seemed to emit from a small Goron child. It became louder and louder in the silence. Then cries of fear tried to smother the sob, but the sob remained the base of the sound.

"I can't take it anymore!" Navi yelled out loud.

Link looked at Navi in amazement. "Take what?"

"Nothing," Navi mumbled, embarrassed. Link couldn't hear the cries?

"You saw into the future, didn't you?" Link gasped in awe before Navi could protest.

"I DIDN'T! I CAN'T!" Navi roared in fury. "I just heard something..." Navi's voice trailed off.

"Me too," Link admitted. "I thought I was going crazy."

They both fell silent once more. Cries and echoes became louder and clearer. Navi could make out a frightful conversation.

"Run, son!" a deep and familiar voice boomed, fading the distance.

"Noooo! Dad!" a small voice, a child's voice screamed.

"I'll be back. Take care of yourself. The shopkeeper will help you."

"Father! Don't leave me!"

"You must understand, child. I will return. Perhaps not in body form, but in spirit. I will guide you! Be brave, my son! Be brave!"

There was a chilling scream of fear and anger. Finally, the echoes faded away.

Link shuddered.

"There's Goron City," Navi said in a voice barely above a whisper, pointing to a dark entrance up ahead.

A deep, menacing cry suddenly sounded out. Both of them flinched.

"Come in."

With Link's fingers curled tightly on the hilt of the Master Sword, they walked in.
