((A/N: Alright, just to clear things up, after Link bitched Ilia out, they went back to bed… because it was late then. Okay? Anyways, it you really want to know, this language that he hears these people speak is actually a fake language from Tales of Eternia known as Melnics. If you want a translation… I'm sorry. ;p R&R))

He heard bells ringing…

Link looked at the path in front of him as he saw robed figures walk forward. They took slow steps and they all held up candles, and tied up to the candles were bells. The candles emitted a blue hue.

He shook his head and walked forward, ignoring it all. There was only the path forward that he could go. Behind him, it was completely black. As he continued forward, he saw something ahead. It was faint, but he could make out a cross-shape. He continued to walk, the bells ringing in his head.

Once he got to the end of the path, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was a tall cross, and on it was Princess Zelda. And her eyes had been gouged out. Link covered his mouth and ran towards it, "Princess!"

Suddenly, the bells stopped, and all the cloaked people stared in Link's direction.

"An duusutidiovusu tian diutioeru!" shouted out a woman. Link looked at them all, and then started to back away from the cross, apologizing.

Another one cried out, "An tuosuti vun puomuusuandu!" Link shook his head, even though he really couldn't understand them.

Then, they all looked up at Zelda, and so Link turned around and looked up as well. Her body was shaking. "Ia tuya!" cried out a woman. Suddenly, a claw incised her chest. The claws were huge… almost a foot long. And soon came another claw. "Baaeti usu aepupunmuumugu?!"

The claws pulled open a hole in her chest, so that something may come out.

And something did.

A head popped out. It was weird. It was bloody all over, and it looked like it was pure muscle. It had one red eye and large sets of teeth. All the clocked figures began running for it, as someone yelled out, "Diomu!!"

Link stood there in fear. The creature pulled itself out of the body, and started climbing down the cross. Link couldn't move away, and the creature only got closer and closer. Its head was jerking all over the place. Link watched it crawl up to him. And even though he feared for his life and he could run, he didn't.

"Diomu! Diomu!" he heard, repeatedly. But his eyes were entranced, and this creature crawled right up to Link. It grabbed onto Link's legs, cutting into him, and climbed up his body. Link came face-to-face with the one eyed creature, and it hissed in his face. Link stared into the eye, and soon enough, the creature forced Link down, and began consuming Link, biting into his neck. Link sat there, not dead, but not alive… and just lay there. The creature let out a sound…

…a sound that woke Link up. His heart was pounding. Link realized that it was daytime out. He must have slept in a bit. But he'd been sleeping so much lately… ever since the incident in the forest.

Link got up out of the bed and looked down at Ilia, who was sleeping peacefully. Link sighed, and walked outside. There he saw Uli, who was smiling, "You sleep alright? You've been sleeping so much."

"Uh, yeah. It was fine," I lied. That dream… and the weird part was that I felt like I heard that scream before.

Uli smiled, "That's good. On, Colin was looking for you. He has a message for you." Link nodded and walked out into the village, looking for Colin.

It didn't take too long to figure out where he was. Almost every day, he's been fishing. And as soon as Link found him at the dock by the river, he said, "Hey Colin."

Colin turned and smiled. "Link! You're feeling better?" he asked. Link nodded. Colin continued to speak, "Cool. Oh, by the way, I have a message to give you by one of the Royal Knights or something…"

Link's eyes twitched as he heard that. "The Royal… Knights? The Royal Knights of Hyrule!?"

Colin nodded slowly and said, "Yeah… someone said that the King had summoned you… and it was really important…" Link turned away. What was really going on? These visions… and now a summoning by the King himself. "I was supposed to tell you yesterday, but you were sleeping." Then, after Colin was finished, he started fishing again.

Link walked over to his house. He tried thinking of a reasonable explanation for all of this. They have had peace for nearly four years… since… that incident. He shook his head, "There's no way that the Twili could get here…" He sighed, "And besides… this magic is much different… If it really is magic."

Link made up his mind. He'd set out for Hyrule as soon as he could.
