Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of updates earlier, but I was bombarded with homework, and now the CRCT test is here… But hey! I'm back! Thanks for still reading after all that time… But anyways I've decided to start replying here to your reviews, before every chapter! (Not counting this time ) But anyway, enjoy!

Link didn't get much sleep that night.
The girls were on either side of him, rolling into him constantly in an attempt to knock the other off.
By the time dawn hit, Link was even more exhausted than before, with bruises developing on his sides.
When they finally stopped, he sighed and dozed.

An hour later, Saria woke him up.
"Good morning!" She greeted cheerfully.
"Ugh… Yeah… Mornin'." He said groggily.
"I have breakfast ready. Come on!"
She skipped to a shabby table, pulled up two chairs, and placed a platter of grits and eggs on the table. Link groggily shuffled to the table, wincing in pain every other step. He sat down gingerly, picking up a fork and shoveling the food in his mouth. When he was done, he pushed the plate away and began putting his sheath and sword on silently.
When he was ready, he asked:
"Where's Jade?" Saria frowned.
"She left this morning, she said something about bathing in the river."
Link's eyes widened.
"Dammit! Come on!" he yelled, sprinting out of the door.
Saria followed as closely behind as she could, but Link was just going too fast.
Link elbowed his way through the crowd, darting out of the door of the Inn.

He flew through the baron town, taking a sharp turn down the exit stairs, leaping five steps at a time. When he reached the bottom, he ran over the bridge, following the current towards Zora's domain. He stopped at the entrance, resting a moment. When Saria was close to him he started again, diving into the river. When they entered Zora's domain, he climbed out of the water, and surveyed the area.
"What was that about?" Saria exclaimed, exasperated.
"Those bandits like to hang around Zora's domain. That means Jade was swept in the current and strait into the bandit territory. They no doubt have her captive right now." Link said grimly.
"Well, what now?" She asked.
"We find her. Stay close, I don't want you separated from me too."
"Alright." Saria agreed.
Link crept along the shore, entering the damp cavern. He headed for the Kings throne. When they reached the turn into it, he motioned for Saria to stop. She complied, and halted where she was. Link glanced around the corner, spotting Jade, tied to a pole, while two bandits stood guard.
"Now, where are your friends?" Came an unseen voice. Link recognized it as the leader. Jade shook her head, and the point of a dagger blade prodded her neck. Link pulled his bow out, aiming it at the ceiling. He silently attached a bomb to the arrow, pulled back, and released. An enormous bang echoed through the palace, sending rocks tumbling from the ceiling.
The leader ordered his guards to check the tunnels, and Link flattened against the wall, and Saria did the same. The Guards raced past them. When the turned a corner, Link stood tall and approached the throne room.

The leader turned to face Link, drawing his sword once more.
"It's time to end this once and for all!" The leader exclaimed.
"Whatever."
The leader charged at Link, swinging his sword with extreme might. Link rolled out of the way, drawing his sword, and backing away. The leader turned, charging again at Link. He rolled again, stabbing the leader in the stomach. He fell back limply, dropping his sword. Link prepared to finish him off, when a low rumbling, filled the Hall. Link ignored the man and raced back to Saria, grabbing her and pulling her into the throne room. Just as she entered, huge boulders blocker the way they came. Link untied Jade, quickly running to the left wall.
"We're trapped!" Exclaimed Jade.
" Not yet!" Link said.
He backed away, pulling a bomb out of his pouch, and placing it next to the wall.
"Back away!" He said over the extreme noise, running to the other side of the room, as the girls followed.
The fuse on the bomb began to burn away. Just as they thought they were going to escape, the ceiling began to cave in. Link grabbed both girls by the waist, heaving them over his shoulders, and ran towards the bomb.
"What are you doing?" exclaimed Jade.
Link remained silent as he charged at the wall, dodging the rocks narrowly. They were cornered against the wall with the bomb, and Link still charged. He leaped into the air, and at that precise moment, the bomb exploded, blowing the wall away to reveal the Lake in Zora's domain below them. They were blown away with the remains of the wall as they fell, scorched and on fire. When they landed in the lake, the fire was extinguished as Link paddled with his feet to dodge the incoming boulders. When the rocks stopped falling, he swam to the top.
He slowly paddled to the shore, climbing onto land, exhausted.
He sighed as he stumbled to his feet, limping back to hyrule field.
