Thank you to those who did review it really makes me happy when you do (: also I know the story is moving rather slowly but I don't have much time to type these days and such. And if you find mistakes in spelling or anything then please note that I cant do this on Microsoft Word anymore and i'm having to use Notepad instead. Thank You now on to the story!

*Normal P.O.V*

The stables were soon in sight as Dark Link strode out of the castle. Renkai, his horse, was waiting for him and neighed happily as his master entered the stables. Quickly undoing the latch on Renkai's stall Dark slipped inside to guide the horse out and into the prep room. Gathering the necessary items such as comb, saddle, and such Dark Link set to work.

15 minutes later the people of the busy town spotted their king making his way down the path to the castle coming to town. Renkai trotted at a gentle pace and held his head high as he carried his master through and over the drawbridge into Hyrule Field. 'Goddesses how it feels good to be out of my castle for a while', thought Dark.

*Valory's P.o.V*

I sat on the bed and started drawing with the art material I had aquired from a passing servant a few minutes ago. Back home I had been the artist of my class and people praised me regularly for my "astounding" work. I myself thought I was average though. Bangs, hair, nose, eyes, clothing, everything started to come together. Picking up a colored pencil (I hadn't realized they made these at this time) I colored the drawing. It was't until I was done did I notice who I had drawn and colored. I was never one to be called vain or arrogant but I must admit that my drawing was indeed beautiful. Gleaming red eyes stood out from beneath silver bangs. A black tunic and matching hat with white underclothes, pointy elfen ears, and an almost nonexistant twitch of the lips stared back at me. For a second I could swear it was really him looking at me. Remembering that he had left caused me to sigh, close the book, and lean back on the bed with a knot of worry forming in the pit of my stomache.

Deciding to go and look for him to possibly make things right, I set off down one of the long twisting corridors where I met up with two servants. "Have either of you seen His Majesty as of late?" I asked politely. Both servants shook their heads but one spoke up as she observed my obviously troubled expression," He does go to Lon Lon Ranch to visit his friend sometimes. Why don't you check there?" I smiled in appreciation and carefully walked down the narrow, steep stairs until finally I came to the front doors. Thankfully a butler appeared and escorted me to the stables where he saddled a horse. "Her name is Nightmare and she is His Majesty's stallion's 'girlfriend' ," he chuckled good naturedly as he saddled me up and with a quiick swat to her hindquarters I was off and galloping to look for Dark Link.

*Normal P.O.V*

Lon Lon Ranch was soon to be seen as Dark rode out into Hyrule Field. Renkai whinnied gleefully and galloped full out as his master urged him on, knowing that Renkai had been waiting for a chance to run like this. Not only was he riding to go to Lon Lon Ranch, riding also gave him the chance to think. Most would think that not a good idea, as you can easily be thrown off your horse if you don't pay attention. Dark however knew how to be on his toes at all times and felt no need to worry of that ever happening to him. He knew that Renkai was an exceptionally strong horse and didnt scare easily either. Perhaps thats why he and this stallion were such good partners.

*Dark Link's P.O.V*

I arrived at Lon Lon Ranch in record time and Renkai slowed to trot up the slope. Turning left I guided my stallion to the track and entered knowing that one of my best friends, Maylon, would be there. And just as I predicted, as soon as I entered the gate Maylon came running up to greet me. Sliding off of Renkai I almost toppled over when Maylon tackled me in a hug. I sighed inwardly as she squeezed me a bit since I knew full well that Maylon had a huge crush on me since we were little but the problem is that I honestly feel nothing for her except friendship. That point had only been made clearer since that girl Valory had shown up.

Speaking of Valory, I wonder what she's doing right now. Then again she's probably roaming the castle and finding her way into trouble. Considering it's been about a half an hour, perhaps I should head back. Besides I'm sure I just overreacted cuz I honestly don't think she meant to insult me, mused Dark as he finally pried Maylon from him. "I know I haven't been here very long and I know you want me to stay longer but I have to go Maylon. Oh and by the way I think Link is bringing your cousin to Shyrule to visit you soon. Just a heads up," I called over my shoulder as I climbed back onto the saddle and led Renkai back to the slope. I heard Maylon call out "Goodbye! Come back soon!" before I patted Renkai's hindquarters to make him move faster.

*Valory's P.O.V*

'Oh my goddesses where IS he? I know I messed up but c'mon!', I thought frantically as I scoured Hyrule Field for the past half an hour. Once again I passed by Lake Hylia and continued east toward Kokiri Forest. I had just gone to Lon Lon Ranch only for the girl, May something, to tell me that he had just left. But he was nowhere to be seen! Sighing wearily I spurred Nightmare on until I came upon a see by the Zora's River that almost made my heart stop. Cupping my hands over my mouth I silently screamed in fear at the sight before me. Two figures were near the water's edge and although the drop into the water looked shallow in the game, it sure as hell wasn't. In fact it was quite deep. One figure had the other backed up to the edge and also held a sword. The figure backed against the edge seemed to have had a sword but now it was lying in the grass a few feet away. Squinting against the glare of the rising (yes rising I was out all night and Dark left at dusk) sun I could make out just who the figures were. They were...

*Back With Dark Link*

Instead of going straight back to the castle I remembered how much Renkai loved water from the Zora's River. I had just gotten near the water when out of the blue Renkai neighed and reared back wildly throwing me from his saddle and he took off towards Castle Town. Startled by my stallion's sudden and unexpected behavior I failed to notice the presence of the man standing before me. It wasn't until he had slashed my right shoulder open that I finally snapped out of my daze and noticed him. Red greasy slicked back hair, menacing black beady eyes, a full suit of armor (black of course) with a matching black cape billowing out around his broad shoulders, and of course, the top piece of the symbol of the Triforce glowing on his right hand.

Backflipping quickly to get out of the way of his next strike I landed on my feet and got into a defensive stance. I knew who this man was, what he represented, and just how powerful he was. However, that did nothing to stop me from standing up to him. Recovering from his missed strike the man chuckled in amusement with a nasty glint of humor in his eyes. "So you choose to fight me instead of bowing down to your master, Dark Link?" the man said in a deep voice. I said nothing as I stood still in defensive position. All the answer I gave him was an If Looks Could Kill glare that I had perfected over the years for when I was exceptionally furious.

Sighing in dissappointment the man snapped his fingers; yet nothing happened. Or so I thought. Within seconds I was facedown on the ground with my head pounding from the blow to the back of my head. Hissing in severe pain I tried to sit up only to be brought back down by a foot on my back. ' Goddesses how much does this idiot weigh? 500 pounds? sheesh', I thought wryly. "Don't worry Dark Link hehehe your death will be quick and painlesss," the man hissed in my ear. Another blow to the back of my head was enough to knock me unconcious although I could swear I heard a girl's voice. Her voice...
