M.S.K: Konnichi wa, minna san! Sorry for the wait, once more. I've been doing a few revisions on this chapter and I was trying to come up with a few things that will be coming soon in the future chapters. Plus, I was still struggling on deciding on who I'll be at an anime con. Well, better move onwards for now. So, Red? Are you ready for it, hon?

Red: Yay! Kaoru doesn't own Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. She only owns this story's second princess. Everything about Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo!

M.S.K: (Hugs Red and gives him a noogie) Thank you soooo much, you little hero of cuteness! Take that!

Red: Ha ha ha! Ha ha! Stop that! You're tickling me! Ha ha ha!

Zelda: (Giggles)

Green: He always makes girls awe.

Vio: . . . . ^_^

Blue: Kinda mushy if you ask me.

M.S.K: (Releases Red.) And now. . .

Navi: On with the show!

Chapter 2: Hyrule According to Hoshimi

During the next following day, everybody in Hylia came over to the Mer-Hylian Palace in many crowds from the village. This is because they're there to join the celebration of Zelda's receiving of the Pearl of Naryu.

When everyone entered the Throne Room, they all assembled themselves to the different sides of the room.

A great fanfare blurred out and after that, an announcer called out. "Her Royal Highness! Princess Zelda!"

The curtains opened and there stood Zelda and her brothers, behind her. They were all dressed in their best mer-hylian robes to look their best for the ceremony. Behind the Royal Children are all of the Six Maidens in their best outfits too.

All of the mer-hylian people applaud as she made her way to her father's throne with her brothers swimming lightly from behind.

Thor, in his royal robes, watched with a gentle smile as his first daughter came up to him, slowly. But when he took a look around the room to find Hoshimi, she wasn't in sight. Then he thought of something. He thought that maybe Hoshimi will make her cue to play her ocarina when the time is right.

When Zelda and her brothers reached the stairway to her father's throne, a servant swam over to Thor with a cushion and a closed scallop shell on it. The Six Maidens went over to the side of the throne's stairway and assembled themselves.

The King took the scallop shell and gestured for the servant to return to his position. Next, he opened the shell and showed everyone what he pulled out of it. It's a necklace with a deep blue colored pearl as its pendant! It's the Pearl of Naryu!

Everyone around the room gasped with astonishment and amazement.

Link, Red, Blue, and Vio were amazed too.

Zelda's eyes widened with delight.

Then the King swam slowly to her and placed the pearl around her neck. After doing so, he said to her. "This Pearl of Naryu represents itself as a symbol of your part of the Triforce in which you're born under. It will acts as your pass to allow you to come and go as you please. May you bring credit to the Kingdom of Hylia, wherever you roam, dearest Zelda."

She nodded and said. "Oh! I'll do my very best, father!" With that said, she curtsied before him.

After that, everyone in the throne room cheered and applaud.

When everyone silenced their clapping and cheering, Thor went his way back to the throne and announced proudly. "And now to collaborate this glorious occasion, a special concert will be held in the royal amphitheater, where Hoshimi and Zelda, themselves will treat us with Naryu's Song."

So, everyone sat down on their seats around the amphitheater. The stage was ready for the performance to start.

Thor sat at a box seat with Link, Red, Blue, and Vio. While they're waiting for the performance to start, the King told his green tailed son. "I'm really looking forward to this. Aren't you too, my son?"

Link chuckled. "Oh! I do, father! I do think that this will be the greatest concert ever!"

"This will be fantastic! I can't wait!" Squealed Red with excitement.

"More than plain old fantastic, Red." Said Blue, giving his brother a small knock on the back.

"Eeep!"

Thor chuckled too. "Well, the best part I'm waiting for is Hoshimi and her little Ocarina of the Great Ocean."

"Ah, yes. That's right." Link laughed. "She not only has a beautiful voice but, she always brings marvelous serenades to all of the people of Hylia and all of the creatures here in the sea."

Vio, however nodded. Then he said to himself. "That's for sure. If only she rehearses her songs for once."

Now, everyone waited with anticipation for the concert to start. Finally, the lights dimmed their glow as a sign that it's going to be starting. Everyone clapped once more.

An announcer came out and said. "Now presenting, the bearer of the Pearl of Naryu, Princess Zelda!"

The curtain rose and there's the princess, curtseying with a smile as the spotlight shone upon her.

Next, the announcer blurred out. "And now, the bearer of the Ocarina of the Great Ocean, Princess Hoshimi!"

But, when the spotlight shown itself on one part of the stage, it revealed that it's empty! Hoshimi didn't appear like she's supposed to!

Everyone in the audience gasped. So did Zelda, Link, Red, Vio, Blue and Thor.

However, after seeing the situation, the King roared with his booming voice throughout the amphitheater. "Hoshimi!"

Before anything else can happen, Zelda tried to calm her father down by saying, "Wait! Please father! Before you can jump to anything, I hope you'll accept this suggestion. I think I'll be fine by singing Naryu's Song without an accompaniment."

"But, daughter. . ."

"Please father? You can at least let me try. While I'm at that, you can have Link and rest find her."

After a few seconds of thinking, Thor then agreed. "Okay. We can go with that." Then he turned to his sons. "Link, and the rest of you. Go out into the sea and search for Hoshimi. Make sure she's completely out of trouble. When you bring her back, I want to have a word with her."

"Yes, father." They all said before swimming off to get their weapons and start their search for their younger sister.

At that, the crowd rang their cheers.

Then, Zelda began to sing Naryu's song for them.

At that time, Hoshimi was out swimming through dark and cold waters in another part of the Great Ocean. Around her were some sinister shaped rocks amongst the great ocean floor which was littered with broken and sunken boats and ships. She's in the middle of a shipwreck graveyard.

As she continued to explore further, she happen to come upon a ship that looks neatly built still, even though it has a few cracks, holes and broken wood on the masts and the rudder. "Huh. This looks peculiar. This ship must have been sunken by Ganondorf's storm magic from yesterday."

She continued her way towards the ship. "Maybe a small peak inside won't hurt at all. Would it?" With that, she slipped inside through an open porthole.

When she did that, a shadowy figure swam by.

Inside the ship, Hoshimi found a lot of things that are already smashed, torn, wrecked, and broken in the wreckage. She also found a few drowned corpses of some sailors from the upper world. But, she didn't complain. As she continued to explore the ship, she then heard a loud crack! She looked up, and a plank of wood is about to fall on top of her! But, gradually she swam out of the way and it landed on the floor. "Phew! That's a close one! Well, it couldn't get worse."

She swam her way up through the hole of where the plank of wood fell from. After she got out from the other side of the hole, she found a glowing purple light coming from a chest. She swam closer to the chest, opened it and found something strange and exciting inside! What she found is a purple rupee! "Wowee! What a gem! But, I don't know what it's called." Well, apparently, since she's a mer-hylian girl, she doesn't have any idea of what a rupee is. It's not close to the currency her people used, called Shell Rupees. "If I keep this here, maybe the maidens or my siblings will know what it is." She placed it in her handbag that she brought with her.

Then, the shadowy figure swam by again. Hoshimi could have sworn that she thought she heard something. But, too shake off her tension, she swam over to another object she found. "Hmm. I wonder what this is called." The object she found is a small knife with the Triforce engraved on its hilt. "Huh. Very interesting. Perhaps the Blue Maiden's fairy might know."

As she placed the little knife in her bag, she felt a small pulse on her right hand. The incomplete Triforce on the back of her hand has detected something. Something dangerous and it's approaching fast. Trying to be alert, Hoshimi softened her tension to panic and start to rely on her senses. In a few seconds, she saw a large shadow overlapping hers as she stared down on the shipwrecked floor. Then she turned around and saw what's looming over her! It's a giant sea serpent, ready to attack with its sharp knife-like teeth as it opened its jaws!

When she finally saw that creature, Hoshimi positioned herself to fight it. "All right, pal! You want to play? Well come and get me first!" She said with a smirk.

Without wasting a second or two, the giant serpent glanced a few meters back first, then lunged in through the shipwreck's window!

Hoshimi managed to dodge as well as the shattered glass while the monster hit itself upon one of the walls.

But, that creature isn't planning to give up so easily because it wants to get its food! Wanting to begin his meal from 'scratch', he lunged in at the princess once more! But, Hoshimi was too fast!

The princess quickly found a barrel, and picked it up. "Hey! Mr. In-Need-Of-A-Toothbrush! Hungry? Well, eat this!" With that, she threw the barrel into the monster's mouth!

The barrel, itself is about the same exact size as his mouth when the sea serpent held it between it's teeth. Startled by what she just did at first, the monster tried to shake its head to get the barrel free from its mouth, but the task was fatal.

"Now, have some of this!" She swam towards the sea serpent, and used her tail to roughly slap its eyes.

Meanwhile, Link and his brothers were swimming through the shipwreck graveyard, still trying to find their sister. Then, Link felt his Triforce power pulsing too. "Ah! Guys! Let's stop for a moment! I felt my power vibrating."

"I do too!" Said Red as he and the other two stopped on their tracks.

"And me!" Said Blue.

Vio can sense that it's coming from one of the sunken ships. "It's coming from over there, guys! It's probably from Hoshimi!" He said pointing over to that shipwreck where she's practically located.

"What?" Blue shrieked. "She's in a shipwreck all by herself? That's just incredibly stupid! There can be sharks swimming around a place like this!"

When he heard what he said, Red began to panic. "Oh no! She can be in terrible danger!"

"We have to get her out of there!" Said Link.

"But, it's dangerous and risky!" His second brother pleaded, trying to hide behind his back.

"But, Green is right." Said Vio, unsheathing his sword. "If Hoshimi's there, then we should get her out of there."

"Let's hurry!" He said, taking the lead, like always.

So, everyone followed Link towards the shipwreck where Hoshimi is still fighting the sea serpent.

She's constantly tail slapping its eyes, still. "Okay, big scales! Take this! And that! And that!"

Getting slightly irritated, the sea monster crushed the barrel with its teeth and began to lunge at Hoshimi again.

But, before it can proceed any further, a slash of force power hits it on the forehead! The monster pulled himself back as it shrieked in pain.

Hoshimi saw its reaction and looked up. She saw her brothers swimming down to her."Ah! You guys! What are you doing here?"

"You first!" Said Blue.

"What were you doing over here instead of back in the. . ." Vio is about to ask her about why she isn't at the ceremony before she cried.

"Look out!"

The Giant Sea Serpent is about to attack him from behind.

Red saw the monster too and cried, turning away from it, covering his eyes. "Gyaah! I'm scared!"

Hoshimi wasted no time by created a blue crystal from her own magic and threw it at the monster! She's pretty good with Naryu's Love. Even if it's not in full strength just yet.

The serpent shrieked again in pain.

Link yelled. "Come on! Let's get out of here!"

Everyone swam up to another level of the shipwreck, hoping to evade the vicious creature.

But, once they got there, what they didn't expect is to see that the serpent popped out through the wooden floor!

"Swim for your lives!" Screamed Red, as they all turned around to find another escape route. However, he did remember that he's not yet fast enough to outrun a sea serpent so easily. He kept swimming as fast as his fins would let him but, the serpent is coming closer and closer to him, opening its jaws!

"Move it, Red! He's gaining on your tail!" Shouted Blue.

When he turned around, he's now about to meet the sharp teeth of the monster's mouth! He's about to get eaten! "Aaaah!" He screamed before wincing his eyes shut.

Then, there's a big loud chomp!

Red opened his eyes! The teeth didn't land on his tail at all! The monster's jaws are now clutching a giant rock! This was all done by Hoshimi! His younger sister spared him!

As the young mermaid grappled her arms around the monster's neck, she called out to him. "Come on! Move it!"

Without waiting a second or two, Red hastily made his way to his brothers while Hoshimi lifted the monster up and swam over to a wall with it.

Then, she bashed the serpent's head upon the wall. After that, she swam back to her brothers. They make a quick escape back outside of the shipwreck.

Before they can relax, a loud crack distracts them!

The sea serpent wasn't in injury for long! It gave chase and the five mer-hylian children swam as fast as they could through the water.

As they swam, Link said. "I think that thing definitely doesn't want us hanging around."

"That beast doesn't know when to give up!" Said Blue.

Well, even as fast as they can swim, most of the royal mer-hylian children managed to give the monster some damage from all they're equipped with.

Blue happened to get one of its fins with his sword but, it only made the creature even more angrier!

As the sea serpent roared in fury, it spun in a few circles in the water. As it did so, it happened to knock Red on the back with its tail, sending him flying down to the rocky sea floor! "Ack!"

When Vio, Link, Blue, and Hoshimi caught notice, they all swam down to catch their brother before he can land on the rocks, next to an anchor that's sitting there on one spot of the seabed. They can see that the monster is also going down for its lunch too!

Once they made it to the bottom, Hoshimi caught Red safely. Through the loop hole of the anchor's top, she can see the monster coming in fast! But, she knows one thing as she smirked.

When the monster is close enough, she quickly swam away from the loop hole with Red, and the giant serpent was stuck fast around the throat, through the loop hole of the anchor! It tried to wriggle out but, it's useless! Everyone laughed at the monster's fatal struggle.

Hoshimi let go of her second eldest brother and chuckled. "Ha ha! That will teach you!"

"Yeah! You should have stayed in school!" Said Blue.

"Of course it would have." Said Vio. "Now, let's get out of this place." So, he, Blue, Hoshimi, and Link swam out.

"Oh! Wait a second!" Said Hoshimi.

"Oh! What is it?" Asked Blue with a large amount of impatience in his voice.

She answered him. "I need to pay a visit with Navi first. There are a few things I want to ask her about."

"Like what?" Her blue tunic-dressed brother asked her. "We don't have any time to. . ."

"Come on!" She said as she took him, Link, and Vio along with her as she swam up to the surface.

Before he can catch up with the others, Red is just staring at the sea serpent. Then he slapped its head with his fins. "Big meanie head! That's for trying to bite my tail off!" Then he blew a raspberry at it before earning a loud roar from the monster, which got him scared and he quickly swam up to the others.

Hoshimi chuckled once he got to them. "Ha ha! You know, Red? Sometimes you really are a scaredy catfish. Don't you think?"

"Am not!" He retorted.

After they're gone, the sea serpent continued to struggle effortlessly against the trap he's in.

However, a voice said behind him. "There's no need for you to struggle so brashly." Then, appearing from behind a black rock is a young mer-hylian boy who looked exactly like the Four Princes. But, the only thing that's different about him is his raven black hair, black tunic, black hat, ruby red eyes, and his tail. His fish tail is in a pure black color and his dagger-like fins were gray. He frowned deeply at the creature. "I've seen that you let her got away. Too bad, this mistake is going to cost you heavily."

The monster struggled again, but the boy said to him. "No, no. You're not struggling anymore in this picture. In fact. . ." He raised up his hand and a sphere of purple energy formed up at the palm of it. Then, bared his fang like teeth while hissing out loud. "You're not going to be living for long!"

With that, he threw the ball of dark energy at the monster that's still trying to escape, but it's too late. The dark energy hit it and dispersed it to dust.

After he turned around and swam away slowly, a wide smirk spread across its face. "Mer-hylian Princess Hoshimi. . . . I'm thoroughly impressed. . . that you're able to evade me. But next time. . . it won't be so easy."

Up upon the surface, there was a small rocky island and inside the biggest rock, there is a large hole, making it look like an entrance to a small cave with most of the sea water flooding inside of it. Inside the little hole, the walls of its cavern were covered with pearl white shells and sea glass.

Living inside this small cave is a little glowing seashore fairy surrounded by a few piles of sea glass and mermaid's tears on a rocky platform which is covered with some of the ocean water. Amongst her blue light, she's wearing a light blue dress that perfectly fits her small body with a deep blue cloth belt around her waist. Her light blue hair reached her waist as it sparkled. She is busy counting the amounts of sea glass she has already gathered according to color. "Twenty nine, thirty, thirty one, thirty two. Yup! Thirty two for the pile of ivory white." She said to herself as she accomplished going over the white pile of stones.

It wasn't too long before she heard a call with a familiar voice, shouting out. "Hey! Navi!"

"Oh!" Hearing her name being called, she turned around and called back towards the calm ocean. "Hey! Hey there, Hoshimi! How are you doing?"

The princess giggled and said to her, while sitting on a rock at the entrance to her cave. "We're already here, Navi."

"Hmm?" The fairy looked over to her and flew over to the entrance. "Oh! I didn't even see you there!" She chuckled. Then she saw Link and the rest. "Well! I didn't expect to see that Hoshimi brought her brothers along."

"We've come to visit you, Navi." Said Red, gleefully as he and his brothers climbed up to the rocks that are near their sister's.

The fairy giggled again, then asked Hoshimi. "Now, what have you come up here for? Didn't your father reminded you about the ban he made upon his kingdom?"

"Well, I know that." She replied. "But, I have to. Because. . ." Hoshimi took out her bag and showed it to the fairy. "Guess what I've found, today!"

"Oh. . ."

Link then said to her. "You see, Navi. We were swimming along and we were in this shipwreck, and then there's this. . ."

But, Navi interrupted by saying. "I see you've found discoveries from a Hylian ship. Am I right?" She was having her focus on Hoshimi's hand bag. "Let me have a looksie!" Without waiting a second or two, the little fairy flew inside the moist bag. "Hmm! These things must be from the ship Ganondorf sunk.

The first item she pulled out is the purple rupee that Hoshimi found earlier. "Well now! Look at this! That's very unusual to be found here in the Great Sea. It usually belongs to the towns and villages that are civilized in the upper world."

"Really?" Asked the princess for she's truly curious about the little jewel that's used for currency, and she's eager to know what it is. "What's it called, then?"

"This, Princess is a Hylian Rupee!" The little fairy exclaimed as she had it gleaming under the sun. "This one in this color is worth of five hundred green rupees!"

Now, Hoshimi is questioned. "What do you mean exactly, Navi? I mean, I usually know things of how much each colored shell rupee is worth. But, I've never seen one from above the surface before."

"You really don't know that?" Red asked her.

"Well, I'm only saying that I'm surprised that they used something that's remotely similar to us." She answered her brother.

Then, Navi explained. "To start off, Hoshimi. What I usually see in all of my everyday flights around Hyrule, is that Hylians used these things to buy and trade items with, like your people do with shell rupees. Like the green clam rupee will be worth of one in your world, while the green rupee will cost the same. And of course there are the red rupee, yellow, and blue rupees that are remotely similar to the red scallop shell, the yellow sea snail shell, and the blue abalone shell." Then she happily scooted the rupee back to the princess. "I bet you, Hoshimi, have figured out that the purple sand dollar is worth about as much as this purple rupee, now that I've explained everything to you!"

"Of course." She giggled, taking the rupee in her hand. "This could be fitting with the collection of sand dollars I have already."

Link rubbed his head, saying to her. "You'll probably end up being the richest mer-hylian princess in the sea."

Red reached into her bag and pulled out the knife that Hoshimi found from the shipwreck. "Say, what about this thing? Do you know what it is, Navi?"

"Hmm?" She flew over and hovered around the knife and gasped. "Oh! This!" Then she turned to his sister. "Hoshimi! Did you found this in the same shipwreck too?"

She nodded and the fairy said. "Why! I can't believe that you found this there! Not only your father will be surprised, but also all of Hylia!"

"Just exactly, what is it?" Said Blue.

"This is a legendary tool used by many heroes of Hyrule in the past! Including the boy who used the Four Sword which ended up here in the Great Ocean!" She said. "This my friends, is the legendary, marvelous, magical Knife of Hylia's Tears. It's also been said that if Hylia and Hyrule were to fall into the hands of peril, this knife will come to their aid alongside with the Four Sword and the Pearls of the Three Goddesses."

"Oooooh. . . ." The Princes and Princess were amazed.

But, Vio happens to realize something. "Wait. Isn't that the knife that's supposed to be guarded in a sea cave that's across from the undying reef where our Four Sword is originated?"

Blue agreed. "I don't see how it ended up in the shipwreck where we fought the sea serpent."

"I'm wondering too, Vio." Said Link.

"It probably ended up being stolen by pirates and then, when sailing away, they ran into a storm and got sunk by Ganondorf's magic." Hoshimi wondered.

"That could be it!" Said Red.

Navi announced. "All of you are right!"

"Huh?" They asked her in unison.

"Yesterday, while hiding in my small cave, I saw a pirate ship sailing away from the area where the sea cave is, before the storm hits it." She placed the knife down and hovered around in a satisfied way. "In a certain way, I'm quite thankful that storm hit them for otherwise, I would've told my mistress, the Blue Maiden about what I saw. If all of you would ask me, the screams of those pirates, meeting their watery graves are like music to my ears."

Then, something of what the small fairy said rang a bell to Hoshimi's mind! "Wait! Music?"

It also rang a bell to Vio too. He forgotten all about his duty to bring his sister back to the palace! "Hoshimi. . . Have you now realized you've forgotten something?" He asked her, slightly.

Blue, Link, and Red also faced her in the same way.

At last, the snow white haired princess exclaimed. "Gah! The ceremony to honor Zelda! Oh my gosh! I should have been there to play my ocarina! Father is going to turn me into chowder, waiting for the scent of tartar sauce once I get home!" She quickly stuffed the purple rupee into her bag.

"We better hurry home!" Exclaimed Link. "There's not a minute to lose, sister! Father is going to be furious!"

"Originally, I want to keep the ceremony in my mind but, instead I've become way too careless and it slipped out of me!" She squirmed.

Vio laid his hand on his forehead and sighed. "Hurgh! I knew I should have told you not to sleep late."

Navi slipped the magic knife into Hoshimi's bag and asked. "Is. . . Is there anyway I can do to help you, dear?"

"Oh! I'm afraid not. Not for now, Navi." The princess said before grabbing her bag, slipping into the water with her brothers. "I really got to go! Thank you by the way!"

"Anytime, Princess!" The fairy waved back.

With that said, she, Link, Blue, Red, and Vio dove back into the water to swim back home.

As they hurriedly swim back to the kingdom, they didn't even bother to notice that the same mer-hylian boy with dark features from the shipwreck graveyard was spying on them while hiding in a dark rocky cavern. Especially on Hoshimi. He chuckled softly as he smirked. "There you are. . . Hoshimi. . ."

He showed his right hand in front of him and a murky purple orb formed on his palm. It then viewed Ganondorf. "My lord, I hate to interrupt you but, I think I've found something that you might want to see." He showed him the youngest princess of the King.

From inside his magic pearl, Ganondorf saw Hoshimi too. This dark mer-hylian boy is giving him his message through the use of his powers to him. The wizard smirked. "Oh yes. . . Now that is something I want to see with my own eyes. Heh heh. . ."

"I can see that you're quite interested with her, my lord." The boy said through his magic. "But, take a look at those worried eyes on her pretty face. I wonder what she's swimming hastily for."

It's not too surprising that Ganondorf has already known what Hoshimi is swimming home for. "Oh, it's something incredibly important. This princess is suppose to participate for her sister's occasion to receive Naryu's Pearl. I suppose that she has missed it by doing her usual doings. By all means, doing something that wastes the precious time the celebration. Humph. Indeed, when I used to live in the palace, I was nominated to take position as someone who will gratefully earn Thor's trust. Then later on, before completing the very first part of fulfilling my own wishes, he is able to find out about what I was doing and after that, I was exiled here."

Then, the boy's smirk began to change into a frown of concern. "Speaking of pearls, my lord. I only wanted to tell you that I felt a great sense of something serious about the youngest princess. I believe it could be the power you've been seeking for all these years."

"Oh?"

"You see, we've already known that those four foolish princes have gotten the four fragments of Farore's Pearl and now, Zelda has Naryu's. There might be a point of time when the secondary princess will get the Pearl of Din. If she gets it, then everything in the legend will come true." The boy said to him.

Ganondorf then frowned as well. "I expected that it will be coming up on us sooner than later." Then, his frown deepened. "Hmph! The King, Thor is such a fool since the day he banished me from my position as his adviser for the kingdom. After having that girl as his daughter, things were slightly irreplaceable since I only have half the power I want! We can't have the Goddesses' pearls joining powers yet until my plan is complete!"

"Huh?" Asked the boy. "What is that, my lord?"

"Must you question me about my negotiations of the plan?"

"Oh. . . Sorry, my lord."

"Don't let that happen again."

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Now, part of my plan to succeed is not only I'll need the Pearl of Din, but also I do need the princess, Hoshimi, herself!" He explained.

The dark mer-hylian boy blinked. "Hoshimi? How will she affiliate with us?"

The wizard stared at him sternly again. But, he sighed. "I told you not to question anything about the plan but, I think the one you asked me seconds earlier will do. Now, the reason why is that no matter what methods you'll be using, I want you to get her to cooperate. I'll be giving Thor something to be proud of as soon as he's out of my way for good!" Throughout his sinister thinking, Ganondorf smirked even wider this time. He believed that Hoshimi will be the perfect asset for what he'll be scheming.

After that, he said. "Now! Shadow Link!"

"Yes, my lord?"

"For the time being, until the right time for the first phase of the plan, I want you to keep an extremely sharp eye on Thor's beauteous wonder of a mermaid. Once you know when your part is ready to play, do whatever means necessary to bring her engagement with you. Don't reveal anything about our goals to her." He explained to him, evilly.

The boy, Shadow Link smirked once more. "Yes, Lord Ganondorf." He also find Hoshimi as a perfect asset to the plan too. "This should be a piece of coral cake for me." Then he silently swam over to the Kingdom of Hylia in order to keep watch on the princess.

In his domain, Ganondorf made another sinister chuckle. "Ha ha ha ha ha. . . . Yes. . . . For the undoing of King Thor, Hoshimi will be the glorious part of what I will have in store for Hylia and Hyrule. . ."

M.S.K: Surprised you, didn't I? Yes. Shadow is here too. I'll be writing the next chapter and update it soon. I might be pretty busy for the time being but, I'll find time to write, though. Anyway, do send me a review or a comment. ^_^ See you soon!

Blue: Woah! Woah! Woah! Back up! Shadow Link is here too?

M.S.K: Of course. What else can I do about antagonists besides Ganondorf.

Shadow Link: (Creeps in from a cloud of shadows) Did someone mention me. . . . .

M.S.K: (Shudders a bit) Uh. . . Yes?

All Four Links: (Jumped in surprise and glanced.)

Blue: What. . . What are you doing here, for Farore's sake!

Shadow: My oh, my. Is that any way to welcome a visitor? (Turns to the authoress) And how are you. . . .?

M.S.K: Eh. . . . .

Shadow: (Walks slowly to her) Now, there's no need to be shy. Is there, Kaoru-chan?

M.S.K: (blushes) Oh dear. Come on! Say something!
