"You do?" Ilia asked hopefully. She was willing to put her life in Link's hands anyway,
especially if he had even the slightest idea of what to do. Midna glanced at their surroundings as well.

"Oh." she said.

Link started to plan, when he was disrupted by some shuffling.

"Midna? What are you doing?" Midna was trying to dislodge a box next to the door. She threw him an exasperated glance. He got the hint and moved the box for her. There was the hole.

"Are you coming?" Midna asked him.

"What, and leave Ilia on her own?"

"I'll come with you! I don't mind!"

"You won't fit," Midna and Link told her. Ilia looked hurt.

"You saying I'm fat?!"

"No!" Link cried, at the same time as Midna muttered yes. He snarled slightly at her, then continued the conversation. "I won't leave her here!"

"But I won't make it alone!"

"You will!"

"Won't!"

"Will!"

Ilia tuned them out and studied the floor. There were scratch marks on the floor. In the center was an iron peg with a bit of chain on it. She bent down to examine it. The chain had been blown apart, and whatever was here must have been dangerous. And now it was loose. Ilia didn't like to think about that part. She turned round and saw Link had given up.

"Fine, I'll come with you. But I'm not leaving Ilia."

"That's what I wanted!"

"But how will you get out?"

"I have my methods," Midna smirked. "Stand back!"
Link stood protectively in front of Ilia at the back of the cell. He saw a dark energy ball form in her hands. A slight groan later, and the lock broke open. Ilia's jaw dropped.

"Wow!"

"It's not that great," Link told her, but he couldn't keep the awe out of his voice. The trio walked through the door (which opened after a bit of persuasion from Link), and down the corridor. At the tunnel that led to the exit, Midna held up a small rock for Link to see.

"No, not that again!"

"Just for a bit!"

"Fine!" he snapped. "Ilia, don't be scared. Just stay on my back, and stay on by any way possible. Oh, and don't fidget! It puts me off."

Before Ilia could think about what he meant, Midna placed the rock in Link's head. Instantly, he dropped to all fours, and his shape changed. Link was a human no more. He was a wolf.
