Link and Lear flew across the desert. Lear's head swam and she felt sick. What was going on? How could she...? She felt abandoned and betrayed by her sister. Here they'd come to the desert to rescue her, and now what? She loved him, why take her away? The thought made her grimace. Fine. Leave. I don't care, she told herself. She's got what she wants. They slowed at edge of the desert as the sun was beginning to rise. For a long time, they said nothing. Lear broke the silence.

"Link...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I dragged you into this. Please just...continue on your own adventure. I'm of no concern to you anymore." Link looked as if he'd been slapped.

"No concern? Lear, I made a promise! We'll save your sister! We'll go back tomorrow and..."

Lear cut him off with a fierce look. "We're not going back, she's happy, right? Why take that away?" She sighed and shook her head.

Link looked at Lear with concern. Her pain was very evident on her face. He stopped his horse, and doing so, Fala also stopped. "Lear, we both saw what happened. HE was the one who made all the moves, remember? If you were in a position like that, I don't think you would've been able to move..."

Lear cut him off. "But what if she loves him? She probably let him do that." Lear felt like her world had shattered. Her sister locked lips with the very man who led the Gerudos, the sworn enemies of her people. What was she to do? She felt like crying. The words that man had spoken about Begonia's training had hurt her. She had worked very hard to help her sister, and he put it all to shame. A tear escaped from her eye.

"Lear? Are you alright?" Link dismounted Epona and walked over to Lear.

Lear turned away quickly and rubbed the tear away. "I'm fine. Really. Let's just..." She was about to say 'go', but go where? She then realized that she had nowhere to go. Despair filled her like a hopeless cloud. She didn't care anymore, and she let the tears fall. She dismounted and leaned against Fala with her shoulders shaking from her sobs.

Link looked at her, sorrow in his eyes. He didn't want to see her like this...he misses her regular, happier self. He wanted to comfort her...to love her. He stepped closer to her, arms outstretched, a little nervous. He hasn't really hugged anyone before.

"Lear..." He stepped closer again, standing within arms reach, he placed his hands on her shoulders. Lear immediately collapsed into his arms, sobbing into his chest. Link held her close, petting the back of her head as he hushed her sobs. "...it'll be alright..." he said softly. "...we'll figure something out." Lear felt the pain slowly drift away while standing there, receiving the comfort she had been seeking since she and her sister were first separated.

"How can it? I'm alone, Link. There's nobody left..." She said between tears. When he spoke, he sounded hurt.

"I'm here...I'll stay. You're not alone."

Lear wanted to believe him, with all her heart she wanted to. But she couldn't take his future away so selfishly. "You're a hero, Link," She broke away from his grasp and looked into his honest eyes. "You have a call somewhere else. You need to defend justice and this land. I wish I could've done the same for mine..." She looked at the desert sand below her feet and the wind whispered tales of star-filled nights spent around the fire of her village. It seemed as if it were a bad dream, and she would wake up with her family all well. She and Begonia would go to training for only a few minutes before they eluded the Elders and went off to explore on their own. But it wasn't a dream. No more would such childhood dreams exist again.

"Lear..." His voice brought Lear's attention away from her memories. "...come with me. I want you to be with me..." He gently caressed Lear's cheek with his hand. He wanted to say it...but could he? He felt like his voice left him. When he spoke again, it was a quivering and nervous voice as he looked deeply into her sorrowful eyes. "I-I-I...I..." Lear looked at him. What is he trying to say? "...I...I want you to travel with me! I don't want you to be alone...not ever..." Link mentally slapped himself; he wanted to tell her, but he didn't even come close! Lear began to cry again, but this time, they weren't of sorrow. She collapsed into his arms again. She wasn't alone.

Coming out of her daze, Begonia decided to sit at the organ, she was all alone in the room. She placed her hands on the keys of the organ and began to play. First, it was soft, for she was nervous about being heard, but as she played, it got louder. For the past several months, she had been learning to play the organ, and now she can play simple songs.

Ganondorf was headed back towards the organ room, he wanted to see how Begonia was progressing on the organ. When he made it to the door, he could hear her playing. He smiled to himself, he had taught her well. He opened the door quietly, making sure that she didn't know that he was in the room. He strided over to her and stood directly behind her as she played.

"You've improved, Begonia." he said, catching her off guard. She stopped playing and turned around on the organ chair. She smiled at him

"You surprised me! How did you get in? I didn't hear you..."

He grinned. "Why, that's easy my dear. I just have skills."

Begonia just stared as he took a seat beside her. "Play me a song from your culture, the Glaicien culture." She suddenly found it hard to keep her hands steady. Play a Glaicien song? No organ was used in Glaicien culture. There were drums, flutes, harps...but organs? And what to play? She thought back and decided on a lullaby, one that Kalidas used to sing to Lear and her when they were children. When they got older, they used to sing it out loud while herding the village sheep. She punched a few keys on the organ to get the melody and memory right, then began to play.

She played a beautiful melody. It sounded like some sort of lullaby, with a childish nature to it. She messed up a couple times, fumbling her fingers around on the keys. The notes brought her back into her memories; memories of her childhood, of her sister...her thoughts were broken by a strong arm wrapping around her shoulders.

"...tell me...what is this song that you play?" Ganondorf asked as she played. "It's very different."

She shook off the distant memories. "It's a lullaby, but it's sometimes performed at ceremonies too." She laid her hands across the keys tenderly. She remembered playing it, her on her harp and Lear on her flute...

"It reminds me of the desert." his deep voice said. She nodded.

"Will...will you play me a song from your culture?" She hesitated at this. Did the Gerudos play music?

He nodded, closing his eyes. "...Very well." He placed his hands on the keys. Begonia watched attentively, very interested in hearing what he was about to play. When he started to play, it was a magnificent opening, several chords were played. He then went into a more lively song, his hands seemed to glide across the keys. Begonia was amazed to watch him play, he was very passionate with his music. He played with his eyes closed, which also amazed her. How could he play without looking at the keys? The song was so lively, it reminded her of the songs that her people would dance to around a large bonfire. Without even knowing it, she was away from the organ, dancing to the music. She danced a beautiful dance with such grace; she felt like she was dancing with her family again.

Ganondorf opened his eyes, he noticed that Begonia wasn't sitting next to him. He turned his head to find her dancing. Her dance was entrancing; he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He stopped gliding his hands across the keys and stood up. Even though he stopped playing, she was still dancing, and so he walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. When he did that, she reached back and placed her hand on his cheek, still entranced by the music.

Begonia didn't realize what the song represented until she stopped. Ganondorf found that he wanted to join in the dance, and it was surprising to him. She turned around and kept her head down. "That was a marriage ceremony dance. I didn't even think I knew that…"

Ganondorf didn't know exactly what to say when he heard this, however, he smiled at her, propping her chin up with his hand so that he may look into her eyes. "I want to dance this dance that you speak of..." Begonia's eyes went wide. He wanted to marry her? She never felt so happy in a long time. She smiled at him

"You really w-want to?" Ganondorf continued to smile, his eyes softening.

"Yes Begonia. I do."

Begonia stepped away from Ganondorf and stood in the starting pose of the dance. He mirrored her. Then Begonia began to dance, letting her nature take over. Ganondorf mirrored her dance perfectly, it was almost like he had done it before. He didn't understand why he was able to do it, but they both knew that it was right. For several minutes, they danced the marriage ceremony dance. Both moving with such grace. When they finally neared the end of it, they found themselves face-to-face. Their bodies began to glow, the binding of souls was to begin.

Begonia walked to him, her hands up, waiting for him to bring his hands to her. Their palms touched, creating a red light around their hands. As they looked each other in the eyes, they intertwined their fingers. As the finale of the ceremony, the final binding process, they both felt their right shoulder burning. It burned with the creation of their own mark. It is a symbol showing their unity, their marriage, and their love.

The light faded. The ceremony was now complete. Begonia felt tears running down her face. She had never dreamed that she would have a ceremony of her own. And here she was, her love standing before her. Ganondorf cupped her face in his hands, wiping away the tears with his thumbs. He brought his lips upon hers, Begonia found that her knees buckled. Ganondorf swooped her off her feet, holding her as his new bride. He broke the kiss and carried her to his chambers where they spent their first night together in each others arms.

Begonia woke-up slowly, smiling because she realized where she was. She had spent the night in Ganondorf's room...but where was he? She didn't feel him there. "...the organ..." she said to herself. Where else would he be at this hour? She quickly hopped out of the bed, putting her dress on over her garments. She ran down the hallway, a short distance, to the organ room. She opened the door, smiling when she saw him sitting at the organ. He was playing a lively tune. 'he must be in a good mood this morning' she thought to herself. Then she got an idea and grinned. She tiptoed over to him quietly, and when she was in range, she planted a kiss onto his cheek and skipped away singing 'good morning'. His hands fumbled and messed up, being thrown off.

"You messed me up." He said, standing up.

Begonia was happy right now, but something kept nagging at her. Since he was in a good mood, she decided to ask her new husband a favor. "Ganondorf...?" She began. He turned towards her. "Hm?" She smiled. "I'd like to go visit my sister, and tell her the good news. Will you allow me to do that?"

He smiled, she was so happy, and he didn't want to ruin her mood. "Alright. Go ahead, but make sure you come back by nightfall." Begonia beamed, throwing her arms around his neck.

"Thanks, love" she gave him a quick kiss and let go of him. But then she realized, how on earth will she get there? She turned back around, sheepishly smiling at Ganondorf. "eh...how will I get there?" Ganondorf laughed.

"It would seem that the only way you can get there...is by horseback. You may use my horse." Begonia put on a fake smile, she didn't want to ride a horse, but she had no other option.

Begonia made it to Hyrule field in good time. The horse may be huge, She thought, but he's really just a big sweetheart. Now where to find Lear? She turned the horse towards Hyrule Market to see if she could catch any news of her there. Arriving in the market, she saw all kinds of people, but no Glaiciens. "Of course not, we're the only ones left." She muttered. And she couldn't find the other one. She walked into Pippa's bar, afraid that the kind bar-keeper wouldn't remember her. Pippa never forgets a face, however, and she welcomed Begonia as warmly as anyone else.

"How're you doin' hun?" Pippa asked her with a smile. Begonia looked around the room before answering her.

"I'm doing great! Hey, have you seen my sister around?" Begonia asked curiously.

"Nah, not today, but I did see her with Link yesterday. The two dears came for a visit before they left. Is there somethin' wrong hun? You look distressed." Begonia let out a sigh, she really hoped she didn't go riding a horse for no reason.

"Well, you see, I have big news to tell her!" She beamed. "She's the first person I wanted to tell...but I guess I should head home now if I'm to make it home by nightfall."

"Well I'll just be sure to pack you a little something for the journey." Pippa smiled and reached around the corner for a loaf of bread, packed it up in a parcel, and waved Begonia off. There were still several hours until sundown, so she explored around a bit. Hyrule field was huge and she'd never seen all of it, so she chose a direction and began to walk, leading Ganondorf's huge steed by the reins. She found herself wishing that she could listen to the wind like Lear, maybe then she could find out where she was. Sighing, she just enjoyed the scenery and kept walking.

Begonia started to feel something move. It wasn't her, so she turned around, looking for something. Of course, the only thing there was Ganondorf's steed...then she felt that she should look down. "...w-what?!" She stared in shock at her shadow. It was moving on it's own! She watched its movements; it was a quivering movement, and it seemed to be pointing South. She turned around and looked in that direction. "...go?" It was almost like her shadow was speaking to her, but without words. This was a new feeling, and her shadow had never done this before.

Begonia then made up her mind; She would follow her shadow.
