LIKE...OMG! FINALLY ANOTHER CHAPTER! O. Anywho, this chapter isn't much, I guess you can call it a filler chapter. Nevertheless, here it is, the long-awaited Seventh Chapter! Enjoy!

"So, Zelda, how do you know of Link?" Naru asked.

Zelda chuckled, looking at him like he was serious. "Are you kidding me? He has saved me from Ganondorf so many times. I owe him my life." She looked off to the side, blushing. "And so much more."

"Ah..of course. How could I be so ignorant?" He laughed with Zelda.

They took long strides down the road towards The Forgotten Forest. It was night now, and if one were to listen closely, they would be able to hear the distant call of the forest owl.

"So tell me, how long have you known Link?" Naru asked, slipping his hand in with hers.

She locked her fingers together with his as she took a deep breath. "Well, it started when he was seven years old and I was around..nine I believe. He came to me, after he recieved the Kokori's Emerald. I was standing in the castle courtyard, peering through the window in the Castle hall, watching Ganondorf proceed up to the throne...talking to my father. Me and Link--well mostly me--talked, and he agreed to retrieve the other two stones to proceed to the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. And then it happened, Ganondorf spotted me spying on him. He grinned the weirdest grin ever. Link went and retrieved the Goron's Ruby and the Zora's Sapphire. When he was on his way over to the Temple of Time, Ganondorf kidnapped me, and rode me out of Castle Town on his horse. I saw Link and dropped the Ocarina of Time, it may have been on purpose, it may have been an accident, either way, I know The Seven had something to do with it. Whether it be good or bad, The Seven rule our lives. And quite frankly, I'm tired of it."

Naru laughed, which ended in a grin. "Yeah, so am I."

Zelda smiled to match his grin. "Anyways, it's been about seven years since I've known him. Such a courageous lad..I hope he's alright."

Naru hugged her. "Don't worry, he will be. I have a feeling."

Zelda shrugged. "If you say so."

Naru and Zelda neared the northeast entrance of The Forgotten Forest. In the northwest entrance, Tarah, Jedah and Ghari made their way in.


"Ghari, shut your trap before I give you a good slap!" Tarah shouted at Ghari, who was constantly teasing Jedah about his disability to remember things.

"Bah! Just because you're older doesn't mean you can boss me around!" Next thing Ghari knew, he was being dragged by the ear by Tarah. "Ow! Ow! Let go! Come on!"

Tarah let go and pushed Ghari down to the ground. "Now, let's hurry up and get home! I hate this place.."


Koto limped through the southwest entrance of The Forgotten Forest. He held his side in agony, groaning.

"Come on Link..where are you?" He mumbled to himself. He managed to reach inside his pocket and pull out a small vile with some red liquid in it. He popped the cap off and drank the liquid. He gasped and released his side, dropping the vile. Breathing heavily, he started to stretch.

"Now that I feel better, I think I can continue towards the bandit's lair." He said, cracking his neck and walking faster. He took his coat and wrapped it around him for extra warmth. He was nearing the center where Link and Ganondorf were.


"So, when are we going to get going Link? We need to find Zelda." Ganondorf asked, while Link was standing with his arms crossed, staring at the moon. He shrugged and sat down.

"I don't know." He said suddenly, which startled Ganondorf.

"Did you just speak?" Ganondorf asked, to which Link shook his head. Ganondorf smiled and laid back with his hands under his head. He dozed off into a deep sleep.

"Zelda, I sure hope you're alright." Link said, and dozed off as well.
