Rusl and Bo glanced at each other, grinning childishly. Because Link was like a son to Rusl, both he and Bo felt like it was their children their, which for Bo, it was.
Link opened his eyes and saw them, jumping slightly. Ilia followed his gaze and broke the hug. Both teens turned a deep shade of red.
"Haha!" Rusl laughed. "I think we've found invincible Link's weak spot!" Link turned an even deeper shade, but Ilia couldn't help giggling at his face. Bo was still grinning insanely.
"Seems we know why Ilia has a mad obsession with Link's green outfit too!"
Now it was Link's turn to laugh at Ilia's red face.
"Please Dad, it's not what you think!" she begged.
"I'm sure it isn't," Bo said sarcastically. "Why else would two lovesick teens be hugging in the middle of a café?!"
Bo and Rusl walked of, laughing like hyenas and walking into each other. Link rolled his eyes and grabbed Ilia's hand. They ran over to the castle. "There's someone I think you should meet."
"But I thought Princess Zelda had disappeared!" she exclaimed.
"That's not who I meant." Ilia was confused now.
"Well, who do you mean?"
"It's a surprise!"
He led her up the steps. The guards were doing their duty for once and stopped them.
"State your purposes!" the heavy guard snorted.
"Need I have any purpose?" Link asked.
"Well... um... maybe?"
"Just let me through. It's not like there's anyone to guard, is there?"
"Um.. No sir!" They stood to attention and the two walked through.

"So? That pyramid of light is blocking the way! Tons of people have tried to get through and failed!"
"Yeh, but they weren't me, were they?"
Link held Ilia's hand and they walked through.
"How did you do that?!" she asked in amazement.
"Let's just say I have friends in high places."
By now they were at the main hall. A cloaked figure was sitting on the throne, sunlight streaming through the windows.
"About time you arrived!" said someone behind them. They whirled around and saw an imp floating in the air. She grinned at Link. Ilia nearly fainted.
"Midna?" he asked. "I thought that was you on the throne!"
"Nope. He wouldn't let me."
"Who is he?" Ilia asked. "And who are you?"
Matters to discuss another time, I might say.
The trio glared at the cloaked figure as he stood up and wondered aimlessly towards them. Link's hand hovered on his sword hilt, and he immediately took on an offensive stance. The cloaked creature drew it's sword, but Link didn't. It pointed it's sword point at Link's throat. As he stared at it, he caught a glimpse of blood red eyes, and black bangs, barely noticeable against his shadow-like body.
Hello, Link
