A/N: You know what? After thanking alwaysingirl and RoseWing for their reviews so much, I'm gonna abbreviate the phrase to make it easier. So, ttaarwftr!

Yeah, I kinda messed up the timeline, so I'm gonna do my own thing, okay?

Chapter 15 - March

Zelda awoke in the same place she had first met Rauru in. The waterfalls, the Triforce crest, everything as familiar as yesterday's encounter.

'Hello, Zelda,' Rauru spoke.

'Hello, Rauru,' Zelda replied.

Rauru looked her up and down.

'Well I can see you've been in a few fights since we last spoke,' he laughed. Confused, Zelda looked down. And gasped. Perhaps there was blood in the Wolfos fight than she had first thought, but her outfit was stained in many places with blood, cuts everywhere.

'Oh, I'm sorry, Rauru!' she blurted.

'What? Oh, don't be! I knew that you would face more challenges after you left. After all, why did you think I let you keep it?' He laughed again, an incredibly hearty hoot. It reminded her of Daisy in some ways.

'Anyway, no need to worry. In fact...' He flicked his wrist, and the water surrounding Zelda curled up around her, forming a ball. At first she was worried, but a lovely feeling began to wash over her as the water touched her tired skin. It felt like she was in there for minutes, but in reality she was only there for six seconds.

As sudden as it appeared, the ball fell to the floor. Looking down at herself now, Zelda found she had no bloodstains or cuts to her clothing.

'Better now?' Rauru smiled. Maybe. She couldn't tell with that big beard.

'Yes, thank you,' she smiled 'back'. She was also feeling really tired, but somehow she had more energy, ready to fight anyhting that will come her way. Even those huge beasts in the labyrinth.

'As instructed, you have completed your first task. That is, to teach the Minuet of Forest. Now, you will learn a new song. A bit more complicated than the last, perhaps. But still, relatively easy.'

He brought out his harp seemingly from nowhere, and began to play the notes. The song was upbeat, just like Minuet of Forest, but perhaps even more so. As the notes sounded, Zelda could have sworn that she heard little drum beats, tapping out the rhythm of a march. The eight notes were played twice, with a beautiful glissando of strings sounding to finish the song.

'You know the drill here,' Rauru nodded.

Zelda took out her harp, resting it on her arm like last time. Remembering which note was which, she played the melody. Again, the faint little drum beats sounded again, though she ignored them. As she played, a faint red glow covered the walls, pulsing with every note. She finished, and they returned to their normal colourless sheen.

'Excellent,' Rauru said after a few seconds. Zelda put away the harp.

'With this song, travel to Death Mountain and wait at the crest there. Link will meet you shortly afterward. However, the temperature in there can get extremely high. Therefore, I suggest you take this...' He took out a small item, whihch looked like a small necklace.

'With this necklace, you can withstand any temperature, hot or cold.'

Zelda took it gratefully and put it on. 'Thank you, Rauru.'

'Zelda... I'll see you again.'

Zelda nodded, and felt hands dragging her into unconsciousness again. Falling forward, she fell asleep.

XxX

When she awoke, she was at the entrance to Kokiri Forest. She was confused at first, but she guessed that Rauru had warped her there to save her the trouble of going through those beasts again for another two hours. Grateful she was then, as the initial adrenaline rush she had was beginning to wear off. It was night, so she figured that she was in the forest and woods for at least half a day.

Suddenly, a skeletal hand broke through the soil in front of her, and she sighed, flicking out the dagger.

'Oh, for goddess' sake!'
