The Legend of Zelda: Time Stands Still

"Link?"

Zelda turned quickly and came face-to-face with Link. He hugged her tightly, as if she had been gone for years.

"Why did you leave?" Link looked at Zelda with intense curiosity.

"I had to." Zelda turned away for a moment, then turned back to Link.

"Why?"

"Because-"

But before she could finish, they heard a laugh. Turning, they found a very…flamboyant dressed man standing behind them.

"Ghirahim." Crystalline hissed.

"I didn't expect to find you here." Ghirahim said, smiling darkly.

"Run."

"What?" Link turned to Crystalline, confused.

"Run!" She turned and fled, the others trailing behind.

"You can't run forever." Ghirahim smirked, and teleported away.

The threesome stopped to catch their breath, and decided to make camp for the day.

"What was going on back there?" Link asked. "How does that guy know you? And who is he?"

"That was-" Crystalline was cut off by Zelda.

"Ghirahim, the demon lord."

"How did you know that?"

Crystalline stared at Zelda.

"He was an important person in history. The demon lord… he was trying to bring back his master, Demise, but the goddess's hero stopped him… But what's he doing here?" Zelda frowned, searching for an answer.

"Looking for you two." Crystalline looked down at her feet.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's complicated, can't we talk about this later? Good night."

Link looked at Zelda, and, shaking his head, went to sleep.
