When link returned to his home he found that Quistis had not awakened since
he left. He silently took off his clothes and he lay down next to her. He
held her as he remembered what Zelda had done to him. Quietly he fell a
sleep with Quistis in his arms.

After Zelda had left link, she headed for the small Kokerian village. She grinned as she remembered the look on links face. He thought she was Zelda and so did every other idiot that knew her. In truth she was a Gurodu servant named Zalin, her body was back at Ganondorfs castle. She volunteered her soul for Ganondorfs master plan.
She was the only one who knew what Ganondorfs true intentions were and it made her smile even wider. The thought of death always made her horny. She knew that the child she would be carrying would serve a big purpose for Ganondorfs later. She slowed her pace as she came closer to the Kokerian village. She smiled, as she knew she could do a lot of damage for Ganondorf here.
Ganondorf couldn't step foot into the sacred forest without turning into dust. And his magic was powerless in the sacred forest as well. However, he could send his servants to do his dark work for him. Ganondorf knew link would try to revive the princess so he directed his magic to link and he let link use his dark powers to call fourth Zalin in Zelda's body.
"Zelda, there you are we have been looking for you." Zalin looked up and saw Sheik and Saria coming towards her.
"Sheik, I was just taking a brief walk through the woods." Zalin said with an innocent smile. Silently she cursed sheik with words only the Gurodu"s knew.
"It will be day break soon. We need to gather everyone and have a meeting concerning what we need to do next in our efforts to overthrow Ganondorf for good." Sheik said as he took Zalin by her hand.
"Ok, I will help get everyone, who is missing?" Zalin asked as she followed Sheik.
"I will go and get link, you need to find Squall and Rinoa. Saria will find the rest." he then let go of her hand and he headed off to links home. Suddenly he stopped and turned to Zelda.
"Sis I'm glad you have returned. It's almost like old times when we lived with mother. You still remember her don't you?"
Zalin almost let her smile drop she had a strange feeling sheik would do something like this to make sure she was Zelda. Zalin tried to remember what all Ganondorf had told her about Zelda's life but she couldn't remember him telling her about Zelda's mother.
"She was so very beautiful. I remember her eyes mostly how they shone in the moon light at night. And her fair skin was so creamy like silky milk. I can vaguely remember much ells of her. Sheik please help me remember?" Zalin asked hopefully that this was enough.
Sheik only smiled and waved her goodbye "I'm sorry sis but there is too much to tell you about her. We need to gather the others before it gets too late. Later I will tell you more. Then he left.
Zalin let a scowl cross her face as he left. If sheik knew who she really was then it would ruin Her master's plans. It would destroy everything he worked so hard for. Instead of getting the others, she followed sheik into the woods to hopefully shut him up for good.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
When sheik knew he was out of Zelda's sight, he let his smile drop. He had asked her about his mother to see if she was Zelda and to his disappointment, she was not Zelda. Zelda would have had no memories of her real mother. The real Zelda knew her mother was a goddess. And that she would never get to see her mother's true appearance. And sheik knew this as well.
The woman who calls her self-Zelda is now a very big danger. Sheik knew Ganondorf would do something like this to trick link into creating a new life. Sheik had to warn link about her before it was too late. Sheik stopped for a moment to gather his thoughts about how to warn link.
It was then that he felt eyes watching him. He had been followed but by who. Sheik had no time to think. Before he could turn to see who it was, he was struck in the chest with an arrow. Sheik felt it go through him but was somewhat glad it missed his hart. However, to his disappointment it punctured one of his lungs. And he started to cough up blood. The pain was terrible but sheik knew worse pain then this.
"So you figured me out, you thought you would go and tell link and destroy Ganondorfs plans." it was Zalin in her true form. In her true form, she was hideous. Her hair was very thin and oily. Her skin was a sick color and her body was badly disfigured. In fewer words, she was an old hag.
"You bitch! " Sheik yelled with specks of blood. " I should of known about you the moment you appeared." Sheik snapped the tip of the arrow off and flinched as he tried to stand in a fighting stance.
"Ha ha ha, you fool, do you really think you could defeat me, Zalin Daughter of Ganondorf his most loyal servant. I have powers even he don't know about yet. This may be my true form but I can change into whom ever I wish. And cast what ever spell I wish." Zalin notched another arrow and aimed it at sheik " When I am finished with you I am going to enjoy watching link die and Ganondorf rule all!" suddenly Zalin jumped at sheik with a knife in hand.
Sheik was a little faster but not fast enough. He quickly pulled out his dagger and he stabbed the old hag through the heart as she stabbed him in his side. The pain was great but he knew he had to go and warn link of Ganondorfs tricks. When sheik looked down to see if the hag was dead he was disgusted to see her body turn into dust as years of living were finally revealed. She had to be almost as old as he was. As the dust flew away sheik wondered if his body would do the same.
When sheik tried to walk, he felt, his blood run through the cut on his side. Where the old hag stabbed him, he knew no amount of healing was going to help. His wounds were deadly and he knew it. Sheik was almost glad to be dying. He was young on the out side but he was older then Hyrule on the inside. He was born long before Hyrule was even created.
Death was a welcome ending sheik thought. There was no more he could help link with. Except give him this last warning. Suddenly Sheik heard some one scream. When he looked up it was the young woman called Selphie. Next to her was the man named Irvine. Two of a few new comers to Hyrule. Sheik didn't know what there business was in Hyrule but he knew they might mess up the balance of things. Maybe even to links favor.
"Sheik! That is your name I hope, are you all right?" She asked as she ran to his side. Irvine took his arm and let him lean against him.
Sheik found it was herd to talk so he tried to save his breath "Take me to link, now" He said in a low voice as he felt his self getting weaker.
"Shit, he's gonna die if we don't hurry. Selphie help me carry him so he doesn't loose more blood. Fuck he has an arrow stuck in his chest, here press this over his side as we walk." sheik heard there voices but he couldn't focus on what they were saying. The pain was so bad now he couldn't stand it. And for the first time in his life, he passed out in the arms of anther person.
It was links voice that brought him back. " Sheik, Sheik, wake up, what happened, where is Zelda is she hurt too?" Link asked as he put a pillow under sheiks head and some other kokerians laid a blanket over his body.
Sheik was now closer to death then ever before. The pain was so great it felt like it had always been there. It was almost to the point where it didn't feel like pain. When he tried to talk, he found it very hard so he tried to say as much as he could but with the least amount of words
"Zelda, evil, hag, she tried to kill me. Ganon's tricked us. Sorry link but I can not help you any more." sheik then coughed up some blood but he didn't try to stop talking yet " Link gather the other sages. Destroy Ganon. Save Hyrule. And link you.... Are.... A...h..e.r.o...." suddenly Sheik was limp and link knew he had just lost a very good friend.
Link thought about the last words that sheik had told him. The more link thought of them the more link hated Ganondorf. The thought of him using Zelda's form to trick him and sheik was terrible. The next time link would cross paths with the fake princess he was going to kill her.

When Zelda awoke, she was lying on a soft bead in the dark. For a moment, she thought everything was a nightmare. The cage Ganondorf had her in was gone. The pain she had from his tortures were gone. It was almost as if it never happened.
"Zelda you are awake, good." It was Impa talking and a light was suddenly turned on. Zelda saw she was in Impa's home and she was lying in her bead.
"YOU, Traitor, why do you keep helping him torture me!?" Zelda screamed as she backed away from her quickly.
Impa's face went down to the floor and Zelda saw the tears fall from her face " I had to, to keep you alive I had to make him think I betrayed you. I would heal you when he had you near death. I made you pass out when he would have his way with you so that you wouldn't have the memories. I protected you even when you thought I was helping him hurt you. Zelda I love you as my own daughter. I would never betray you or let you die." Impa then brought her knees up to her face and she sat there with her for head resting on them.
Zelda didn't know what to say. " Why are we here? Have you taken me from the castle?" Zelda asked as she got up out of the bead. She was wearing a long gray tunic that was several sizes to long for her. So she found one of Impa's belts and wrapped it around her waist. Now she looked like she was wearing a long gray dress.
" Ganondorf has this plan to send you to link and let you kill him. He was going to have some one assassinate Sheik and make it look like it was link who did it and I was to be the one to tell you. I was to tell you I stole you from the castle and brought you here. And you were to go and kill link for Ganondorf. Ganondorf thought that if you thought link killed your brother then you would have your revenge. "
Zelda turned and looked at Impa. " Kill sheik, no one can kill sheik that would be an impossible feat. Sheik is too good of an assassin his self to let any one kill him." Zelda then looked in the mirror and she couldn't believe what she saw.
Her face was scarred and disfigured. Her hair was still blond but it didn't look nothing like her once silken hair she used to have. She in short looked like a hag. " Impa, I must find sheik, and warn him. I need to find link and tell him about the other fake princess that is posed as me. I know I don't look beautiful anymore. But maybe link will see beyond that and trust me." Zelda then headed for the door.
"Princess wait, you are not fully healed yet. And I can not accompany you out there. It would ruin everything I have fought so herd to protect you with. If you leave now you risk your life," Impa said as she got up and headed for the princess.
"I know Impa, but I have to. If I don't then I may loose my brother. " She then started to go out the door but Impa grabbed her arm.
"Wait don't go like that. Here take my black cloak. It will help conceal you at night and here is my backpack. If you put it on under the cloak, you can look like an old hag. It will help in disguising your self. And Zelda. You have my love. And if I have to I will risk my own life to keep you from death. Even if it means killing link if he ever tried to hurt you." with that the princess put on Impa's backpack and put the cloak on over her self. And she gave Impa one last look as she slipped into the cool night air.
