Chapter 10

A/N: Still unpredictable updates.

I could feel the ground against my back . With my eyes closed, i noticed that there was a wet rag draped upon my forehead. My eyes shot open and i shot up off the ground. The rag that was upon my head fell to my lap. Pain shot from the back of my head down my spine and back up again. I moaned in agony as this occurred.

"Link!" Zelda and Midna shouted, but it wasn't just them. There was another voice that sounded.

"What happened to me?" I asked, studdering from the intense pain i was experiencing.

"I don't know," Zelda said as the familiar sensation of her warm embrace took hold.

"You just... collapsed," Midna stated as she knelt down examining my face, which was covered with dust and dirt.

I looked down at Zelda, who was pulling me in tighter and tighter with every second. She was crying... silently.

"He..y..., can zelda and I have a moment alone?" I asked, hiding the pain that was contained within my entire body.

"Sure," she replied, nodding slightly, before turning around and walking toward Midna, motioning for her to follow. When they were no longer in range of their voices, I turned to Zelda and pulled her in close to me.

"Link..." she said, sobbing. "I thought I had lost you," She said, pushing her face into my shoulder.

"Oh Zelda..." I said, having no words that i could say to her.

Suddenly, I had a brief flashback of the vision, when the Hero Of Time had given me the Orcarina.

I losed my grip on Zelda for a second. I reached to my side toward the bag i had placed the instrument in during the vision. Sure enough, the Orcarina was still in that pocket. I looked up at Zelda, wiping the flowing tears from her beautiful face, and then reached into my bag, pulling out the bulky item.

Zelda, looking down at the instrument, asked, "What is that?" The tone in her voice being as if she didn't know what an Orcarina was.

"It's... The Orc...arina... of Time..." I said studdering.

"You're Kidding, Right?" she said chuckling.

"No, I am not," I said in all seriousness. "While i was unconcious, I had a vision of the Hero of Time from long ago. He gave me the Orcarina saying, "You will need this when you reach Termina." He then taught me the song of time. The power of that song is incredible. After that had happened, he told me, "I will return when the time comes. Begin making your way to Termina through the Colassas in the Gerudo Desert."

"And with that, he disappeared, and I woke up. " I finished.

"You're not kidding, are you Link?" she asked as she let her head gracefully fall to rest on my shoulder.

"No im not kiddiing," i said, moving closer.

Zelda helped me up off the ground, and we began to make our way back to camp. I looked down at my hand, wondering whether the Triforce was still black. And to my amazement, it was pure and untainted. I smiled as Zelda grabbed onto my hand, our fingers becoming entangled. I suddenly stopped, and used the force of her walking to swing her around to in front of me. We softly locked lips. Smiling, we slowly began to make our way back to camp.

A/N: Again, keep the reviews coming. chapter 12 has been written, but again i find it hard to find a time to type it up. I'll get chapter 11 ASAP.
