((A/N: Finally... Chapter 3 is done. Now we all know what's going on with Link. And what was that mysterious hole? You don't find out yet, but you will in a future chapter. And yeah, trouble begins to brew... but that's alright, right? R&R))

It was... so... hot...

What had happened...?

What was that... light...?

Where...

Link opened his eyes and sprung upward. He found himself in a jail cell. Where? He wasn't sure, but it was very hot where he was, right now. He stood up and looked out his door, through the bars. He saw nothing. No one. He stepped backwards and then looked behind him.

He saw... a shining crystal. Inside, he saw Darunia. "Darunia?!" he shouted, running to it. But... then it disappeared. What was going on?

Then he noticed that he didn't have any of his equipment. Someone had stolen all his stuff. "Darunia... what... was that..." He started pacing around his cell, wondering what he could do. He had nothing. Nothing to break him free. Nothing to defend himself with. And to top it all off, he had no clue where he was.

"Stop! Get away!"

He looked towards the door to his cell. Suddenly, something ran right through the bars into his cell. He wasn't sure what it was, but it looked... almost human. Like a child. Some Moblins came to the door and looked in through the bars. They snuffed and then walked away. The little boy turned around at Link and said, "What are YOU looking at?"

Link was speechless, "Uh.. nothing..."

"What? So I'm nothing? I may be small, but don't underestimate me!" he replied, shouting. He flipped some of his red bangs out from his eye, so Link saw the gold in his eyes. "Hmm... who are you, anyways?"

"My name... is Link," he said, and then said, "What's your name?"

"Why should I tell you?!" the boy shouted, and then walked to a wall. Link was puzzled. Then the boy said, "Hmm... Well, my name is Keira Nagon. So I guess you can call me Keira, or Nagon, or whatever. You can even call me your master." He smiled.

"Master?"

"Well, you're stuck in here, right? I might be able to get you out... but you have to help me in return," the boy said.

Link was silent, and then asked, "What is it?"

"Well," the boy smiled, "I stumbled upon this world... and well, I got stuck. Much like you did, I presume. This place we're in is a prison up on Death Mountain. But don't get too excited. We're not in your beloved land of Hyrule. We're stuck in a Realm full of death." Before Link could say something, the boy continued, "I have magic that will get us out... and, I think I might have seen your equipment somewhere else around this place. So, let's go!" Link didn't even try and talk. The boy ran over to the bars and constructed a ball of darkness and threw it towards the door. The door exploded and then he ran back to Link. "Alright, you go!"

"But... how will I defend myself?"

"Who said anything about defending? Go and run! I'll wait here," the boy said.

"Alright... Kei," Link said, walking out into the hallway. It seemed to him that they were in a circular room, with two sets of circular stairs. It must be some sort of tower. Link walked around and found a door that must have gone out of the tower, but it was locked. He took another look around and saw a couple of Moblins coming up the stairway. Link immediately bolted in the opposite direction, up the stairs to the next level. When he got to the top, he saw his bag, his sword, and his shield. But there was a Moblin sitting right next to his stuff.

"Okay... so what do we do..." he said to himself, thinking. He crawled up the stairs slowly, and noticed the Moblin was sleeping. What a stupid beast. Link, still, took slow, quiet steps. As he approached his stuff, the Moblin moaned, but was still sleeping. Link breathed deep, and then put his hand out to grab his sword.

When suddenly, he heard, "Prison break!" The Moblin jumped up, his spear ready. He saw other Moblins running towards him. Link grabbed the sword, unsheathed it, and stabbed upwards, so that his sword pierced the Moblin's jaw, and killed it. He put his bag on his belt, and then picked up his shield. Most of the Moblins were running from one direction, so he dashed in the other. He saw an open jail cell, so he ran into it.

But then he heard a scream, and he couldn't move. He didn't have to look to see what happened. He walked right into a room with a Redead. When he was able to move he turned around and sliced at the Redead. But the dreaded zombie didn't die yet. Link charged up for his Spin Attack. Once he let it go, the Redead fell down to its death. Link sighed, and then closed the door. He looked around the room, wondering what to do to escape the Moblins.

From what he had gathered, the tower is at least three floors, and has at least one basement. So one of those floors must have a key to get out. Or a Moblin has it. But first, he had to get down to Keira again. Link found a wall that was a bit weak, so he set a bomb by it. Within seconds, it exploded, and he walked into the nearby room. He saw a bunch of skeletons. He gulped as he walked in further. He was afraid they might ambush him, but they were just regular skeletons.

The prison door in this room was locked, so he bombed another wall, and walked into the next room. He found an open door and a treasure chest. He opened it up and found the map of the area. He looked it over, and was correct. There are three floors on each tower and one basement. But it looked almost like a straightforward castle. He shrugged and walked out of the door. It didn't seem like there were many Moblins around anymore, but Link decided it would be best to not create so much attention. He walked around, trying to find the stairs again. He came across the final jail cell of the floor, but it was a broken lock.

Once Link got to the stairs again, he debated on whether he should go up or down. he could go up, and then get Keira, or he could get Keira and then go up. He decided to just go up, and then get Keira later. Why not? Keira was just going to use him anyways.

When he got up on the third floor, he looked around. There were for jail cells just like the two previous floors. He saw a couple of Moblins in a circle. They must be looking at something. Link pulled out his sword slowly and crept up behind them. In a flash, he swung his sword through one of the Moblins, spewing blood on the others. The Moblins weren't armed, and so they just all fled. Then he saw what they were looking at.

Majora's Mask.

He had forgotten about it. He picked it up and put it back in his bag. He walked around the room, looking into the jail cells. Nothing anymore interesting was up there. So Link walked back down the stairs to his original cell. And boy, did he feel the burn running down all those stairs.

When he walked into his cell, he saw Keira leaning up against a wall. He bluntly said, "So what took you so long?" Link sighed. Keira walked over to the door and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's get going out of here."

I do not own The Legend of Zelda.
