WHAT THE HELL? Why do I always update on school nights, eh? Especially tonight because I go to school in the morning tomorrow! I'm telling you guys, I must crave the abuse or something.

Anyways, for those interested, on my DeviantArt [age (which is my homepage), I've uploaded a couple of pictures. One is of Eugen, in case you want to know more about this fucked up head case and his origins; an extremely girly looking Quinn (well, more so than usual), and - Time Spinner fans will love this - a drawing of the Spinner without its hat and veil.

Legend of Zelda 4 Life: Hehe, you know, I never really intended for Anya to be so... Well, how she is now. XD But I think it ended up for the better. And yesss, Zant is an alien... I mean, I always thought he looked like one. Which was kind of a disappointment for me. After all the drama TP made with his helmet, never showing his face until you fight him it was like... "Oh..." It's too much to ask those Zelda people to create more pretty villains like Vaati, seriously. D:

I also apologize in advance - this is mostly a filler chapter. DDDDDDDDDDDDD:

"Anya, I'm quite testy at the moment." Said a completely non-testy looking Eugen. Just returning to the castle from the temple, the Sheikah was still not very happy that he spared the life of a Gerudo. Heading straight to his own quarters to blow off some steam, Anya came and insisted that she show him something. He was following his fellow schemer down the hall, to what looked to be her quarters. "While I trust that you're not luring me into a trap due to your perma-grief, I have to be honest and say I really have no interest in anything that may be in your room."

"Trust me, I believe this will be of great interest to you." Said the brunette woman.

She opened her door and gestured for him to follow. Reluctantly so, he did.

As soon as his senses (for he wasn't wearing his glasses and couldn't see a foot in front of him) found the injured Twili on the couch of Anya's room, it was much like a repeat of the happenings in the temple. Except this time he just attempted to throw a knife in between the creature's eyes. With unexpected speed, Anya grabbed Eugen's wrist before he could throw. Irritated, and fighting the instinctual reflex that the Sheikah training gave him to snap this woman's arm in two he glared.

"What is it doing here?" He asked. Normally, even when the small man had a serious expression, his tone of voice was still somewhat jovial or joke-like. Perhaps it was from the frustration of being denied his kill earlier that day, but his tone of voice was absolutely hateful and he had the expression to match.

Anya shuddered at the sight of Eugen's cold eyes boring right into eyes and into her soul. Averting her gaze, but not letting go of his wrist, she explained the situation with Faron and her reasoning behind keeping Zant alive – even the part where she heard Quinn's voice. Eugen openly bared his teeth and growled at the Twili before putting away his knife and regaining half of his composure. He didn't have his dumb smile back, but rather a serious expression. Hateful eyes still rested on Zant. "Twice today I've been denied my kills. I am very, very testy at the moment."

"You should've let him kill me." Zant mumbled, staring at the ceiling.

Ignoring the creature, she kept a firm gaze on the man-child before her to make sure he wouldn't act on anything. It was the first time she could say that he looked tense.

Surprisingly, Eugen spoke to the creature… but his tone was still terse. "Has Dragmire attempted to call you?"

"No." Replied Zant flatly. "He told me not to come to him unless I found anything of interest."

Another tense silence followed before the Sheikah spoke again, this time to Anya. "Let me know when its color starts returning. When that happens it'll be able to go into the shadows again. We can't let that happen. I'll send my subordinates to see if they can find anything pertaining to its current condition and see if it can be fixed." His voice was controlled and businesslike this time, but his stupid smile did not return. That scared Anya.

Heading back for the door, he paused and then gestured for Anya to come closer. She did so and Eugen spoke to her in a whisper. "As much as I hate to admit it, you did a good thing in not killing him… But he will continue to try and get you to kill him. Whatever he says, no matter how angering or painful, do not give into it. It was inevitable." And then he turned on his heel and left.

Anya looked back to the strange, alien-like being on her couch. What did Eugen mean by those last two sentences? Did he know something that she didn't? Stupid question: he's Sheikah, of course he does…

"So you went on the run." Vega said to Nabooru.

She had been sitting on one of the benches minding her own business, but for some reason the star went out of his way to speak to her. He had two perfectly good friends already, why did he have to talk to her?

"Yes I ran. Stop reminding me that it was you who told me to do it." She said it slowly, hoping that would give him the idea that she didn't want to talk to him.

"I never told you, I suggested it." He said simply.

She made a noise of frustration and then snapped, "Stop telling the truth, dammit!"

"That's different…" Vega commented more to himself than to her. "Most girls want to be told the truth…"

"Any truth involving you is frustrating!" Nabooru yelled.

"You know, I remember mentioning not expecting you to forgive me, but there is such a thing as dropping the anger." He said nonchalantly. "Especially with the situation at hand."

She froze, realizing that he was, once again, right. The whole situation was told to her by the girl, Zelda. Any parts she left out, such as her royal lineage, were told to her by a reluctant Link. Even greater details were given to her by a seemingly incompetent visiting necromancer, who had left just as quickly as he came. Nabooru had always known her brother to be ambitious; she'd known that he wanted Hyrule; she didn't know the extent to which he was going to. When the necromancer had told her the true purpose of the capture of the Time Spinner…

It was actually obvious. What was the point of keeping that creature around if it wasn't to manipulate time? Even more distressing was the discovery that Ganondorf was also in possession of the Triforce of Power. Koume and Kotake no doubt knew… but why couldn't she? That's what she had been second-in-command for… The news had left her a bit down-trodden, but she never showed it. When it came down to it, as much as she hated the desert and as much as she hated living around Koume and Kotake, she couldn't bring herself to be a full blown traitor, either.

As such, her current status was very troublesome.

"Still not sure if you're going to take a side?" Asked Vega.

She didn't answer.

Sighing, the star said, "You're lucky to have that choice." Standing from the bench he headed off his own way. "Just wanted to see if you were all right. Cheers for now."

She just followed the back of his silver head. "What a weirdo…" She mumbled.

Vega wasn't stressed at all by the fact that Nabooru could go either way. For the most part, he felt that it might be best for her stay out of anything else that involved him, Link, and Zelda. If one thing was definitely for sure, it was that she needed a break from all that life was throwing at her.

Much in the same fashion that he had barged in on Nabooru's private moment of thought, Link came into his. The collared page seemed to have waited for him in the hallway where their rooms were located, and he didn't look entirely happy.

"Well, don't you look chuffed today?" Said Vega.

Link rolled his eyes. He didn't know what chuffed meant, but he knew the star was being sarcastic. When was he not being sarcastic? "What are you doing?"

Vega paused for a moment, putting his hands on his pockets and looking around curiously while he rocked on his heels. "I was walking, but now I seem to be speaking with you? Anything got your goat, git?"

Dealing with sarcasm wasn't high on Link's skill list. Glaring at the silvertop he said, "I meant what are you doing with all these girls? All of a sudden you've become Zelda's best friend and then you stick your neck out for some Gerudo you barely know."

Forking an eyebrow, Vega was beginning to catch on to something. In his mind he grinned evilly; on his face he sneered. "What's it to you?"

Just the reaction he expected. Link marched up and grabbed Vega by the collar. "I swear if you end up hurting Zelda in any wa- What's so funny?!"

The star couldn't help it. He tried to hold in his laughter but it was proving very difficult, so he couldn't keep with his act. The reaction alone told him what he wanted to know as it was. He abruptly stopped as Link held up a fist though.

"Please don't punch me; another break in my nose and I won't be pretty anymore!" He said as he clapped both his hands over his nose. He didn't care how much he had killed his masculinity then, a star's appearance was half their life.

Link smiled at that and raised his fist again, "Oh, in that case I'll go ahead."

"I'minlovewithmysister!" Vega said quickly, not wanting his nose smashed in again. He ended up shutting his eyes tightly just in case.

When nothing happened, he dared to peek open only to see a grotesque expression upon Link's face. The page put him down slowly and then began to wipe his hands on his tunic, as if trying to get dirt off of his hands.

"That's… that's disgusting." Link told him.

"All stars are brothers and sisters, you great git! We can't reproduce!" Vega snapped, allowing himself to be frustrated. Just in case, he kept his hands clasped over his nose.

"That's still gross…" Commented the page. Filing the information he just heard in his "never speak of again" category, he went on. "So why'd you provoke me like that?"

Deeming it safe to remove his hands from his nose, he said simply "To see if I was right."

Frowning, Link had to wonder what was going through the star's mind. "Were you?"

Smiling mischievously, the star shrugged. "Who knows?"

The page just let it go. It was no use trying to get a straight answer from this guy. But still… for some reason, knowing that Vega wasn't "with" Zelda changed his view on the star. Granted, he still thought that the silvertop deserved another punch in the face but he wasn't so much of a threat anymore. And he supposed since he was sorry for being a total jerk… With a lot less force than he first thought it would take, he said "You're not bad, Vega."

With another shrug, the star walked past Link – glad that most of the animosity between them was now lifted. He held in a laugh, finally understanding where the real source of Link's tension for him had always laid. He paused just before entering his room and then said, "Zelda would actually be very happy to hear it, git."

Link wasn't sure what to make of that last comment. Before he could ask what was meant by it, the star had completely retreated into his room.

Hey, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Stars are vain, vain creatures. XD They like to be pretty.

Sigh... You know. I really, really, really miss Vega with long hair. I sob because it's not coming back until the last chapter. D: OH! Speaking of which, we're nearing the end of the story. Within the next two chapters (it might be the next or the one after that), shit is going to go down.

Well, that's it for this week. Expect the next update when you don't. Happy Friday/Saturday.
