A few weeks later the six went to town for the festival of time. The town was decorated with beautiful banners and tall pavilions with old Hylian on them. They said " The remembering of the old and the coming of the new" and some other wise-sayings. It was a brilliant sight to see, indeed.

Many people got married before or after the festival. They're given a couples mask and that symbolized their unity and togetherness. The races' all came together to make it a success. The Deku opened the clock tower door. The Goron made and shot the fireworks, and the Zora played the traditional sports and games. Peoples of all ages and races came to the festival.

The six walked to the main plaza and noticed something. The sports and games weren't happening. Matiyan saw Enquire walk into the locker room then he came running out.

" What's wrong?' Matiyan asked, "What happened?"

"I…don't…know." Enquire got out as he panted, " it looked like a shadow standing."

'Why now?' Matiyan thought, 'of all times he had to come now'

He ran into the room and the others followed. Haksa came out of the room and tackled Matiyan onto the field. The others ran to help but Haksa made a shield around him and Matiyan.

" You can kill me," he started, " but if you hurt Ci-Ci I'll never rest until your dying under my sword."

" Very well." The monster scowled as he charged.

Ciarra watched in horror as Matiyan once again fought the shadow that had haunted her dreams for so long. The dreams had frightened her,of course, but they ahd only been dreams, even if they had foretold something. She would much rather be having the dreams then see Matiyan hurt.

She clutched the pendant that had brought her comfort so many times and wondered what Haksa could possibly be after. With her hand so near to her heart she could feel it beating, quickened and unnatural.

Finally the moment came when she could no longer take it. Barely thinking she rushed down to the field, drawing her small sword from across her back.

"What do you want with him?" She screamed as she reached the shield around them Not bothering to think of the consequences, she struck the forcefield with her sword and was thrown back about a yard. Still, Ciarra got up, breathing hard.
"Please…let him go..."
