A/N- Thank you for the wonderful reviews! I got some great suggestions, and I will for sure add them to my story. For this chapter, I will introduce MakorraLove97's great idea. I don't want to ruin the suspense, so I'll tell you it's a familiar character, but hasn't been in my story yet. You'll know him when you read it. I will also include a Guest's idea, who used the name SWD. Ooh this chapter is soo exciting! Thanks for the suggestions! Enjoy the chapter! :) Remember to review your opinions and suggestions if you get the chance! Thank you :)

With no regrets or sense to look back, she stepped into the mysterious Temple. Little did she know, someone had stalked her, lurking in the murky and dim shadows.

Fearlessly, she walked down the long staircase, and into another path. The Temple had nature, and fossil vibe, with so much flora flourishing at all angles of the walls. The frosty air bit at the tips of her pointy ears, and caused her to rub the sides of her arms in order keep warm. She followed the path until she found a small window opening to her right. A shortcut, the one she made as Hylia, a life ago. She climbed upon it, and sneaked her way through the scratching wooden gap. Link must've found it on his journey. The passage led her to the main hall, polluted with more of those pesky Bokoblins. She had a strange feeling that Ghirahim had left them, after his return, to cause more damage to the land. More specifically; cause more damage to Zelda and Link. It didn't matter anymore, because they were easy to rid of. From her hiding point, she hit each of the meager creatures, with a single one of them catching her. Boastfully, she descended off the refuge, and down the vines. She walked along the deck until she reached the log on the opposite side, hopped onto it, and once more to the door. The door was locked. What?! No… She spun around, noticing all the places it could be in. This is impossible… Back down the deck again, she took a guess to turn to the West side.

This door was unlocked, and she waltzed into the welcoming doors. This room was smaller, and brisk air had toned down a touch. There were enormous spiders caught in the trap of their own webs, blocking the simple runway to the other side. Zelda reacted with a queasy reflex and knew for a fact there was no way she was going to go there. On the other side of her platform, she noticed a battered tree stump, acting as plank approaching two more of those hanging tree vines. She knew it was her only option with those disturbing creatures intercepting her way. With another deep breath, she pounced onto the plant, and swayed back and forth until she was close enough to the next one. When she was ready, she leaped onto the following vine, and repeated. Finally, reaching the other end, she cheered. Yes! The key better be here… She walked up the stair case, and through another unlocked door. In front of her was a thick but slippery tree-branch, but was thick enough for her to carefully climb. How did Link do all of this? She took one sturdy step against the stubby extension, and exhaled with relief. Just don't look down… She consoled herself, as she risked her next step. This one had been just as well, and she basically skipped into the thicker part. Finally, she found a closed treasure chest, and tugged it open. Inside laid a silver and delicate small key. Well, that was easy… Now how do I get off?! She finally gave a small glance at the lengthy distance to the end. It's just water, right? C'mon, just do it. Link did it….Link….I have to do it. She backed up a few steps, before diving off into the icy cold lake. Her thin and frail body slapped against the surface of the water, before she sank deeper, with her golden locks reaching for the exterior of the water. She threw her arms in a fit to resurface, before it was too late. The last time she had swam, the water was not nearly as chilling, and she calmly float back. The last time she swam, Link had shown her how to feel relaxed, and glide to the top on her own. The memories had slowed her down, and she patiently waited for the water to pull her up. Eventually, the waters had lugged her back to the top, and she had quickly, but smoothly swam to the vines. Her numbing fingers had eventually taken hold of the slimy leaves, and pulled her onto the deck again. She lay on the cold floor, trying to get the feeling back into her arms and legs, before weakly standing and waddling back to the northern door. Her shaking hands eventually slipped the key into the slit, and rotated it to break the chains. The door slithered open on its own, and she weakly entered the bigger room.

This hall was larger, therefore sending more chills up her frozen spine. There were four doors, on each hemisphere from what she remembered as Hylia, and the northern one was blocked by a hollow chamber. Bokoblins and spiders roamed the hall, waiting for their prey. Uneasily, she crept along the walls and vaporized any enemies she found a nuisance along the way. None of them had realized, or caught her in the action, because they walked solo, and unprotected.

Eventually, she made her way to the northern door, and found that Link had opened the shortcut for a time like this. Just like him to think ahead… This room was much simpler with a single rope connecting where she was standing and where she needed to be. Two green Bokoblins, with their own Bow and Arrow's, guarded the large, open doors on the other end. For the first time since she entered the Temple, they had seen her before she had a chance to rid them. She gasped, and ducked at the first set arrow, as it hurtled towards her head. She crawled on the stone floor towards to the shelter on her right, diving into a lying position whenever more had been aimed. When she had made it, she stood, and leaned herself on the wall they couldn't see. The foolish creatures had failed to see her, and rubbed their rugged, metal helmets in confusion. This isn't going to be easy… She peeked out, to see if they were paying attention to her anymore. Fortunately, the idiotic creatures had faced the main entrance, waiting for more of their enemies to appear. She risked the inches she had taken into the room again, slowly creating a better view of her target. She pulled at the string, before dropping her weapon at a warning shriek. One of the Bokoblins had laid eyes on her, jumping and pointing at it's discouraging excitement. The other had already sent an arrow, striking her in her arm. She screamed, and tumbled painfully to the ground. She quickly ripped the arrow out of her skin, sending a paralyzing shock throughout her.

"Zelda!" Someone had called out. Was that…Link?! Swiftly and in a dark blur, he picked up her fallen Bow and Arrow, and let it fly through the hanging bomb flower. It had sliced through the blue plant, carrying the light weight passenger, and reached the enemies in time for an explosion. Her eyes grew wide in amazement. She struggled in attempt to ask him all these questions, and comments, but the pain overwhelmed her. "Zelda, you're bleeding!" He noticed, before she did. She gave a strange glance at her arm, which was stained with a burgundy tinted liquid. The strong scent wafted into the air, giving her a heavy headache. He kneeled beside her, holding her limp arm in both of his arms, before taking a bulky sword, and slicing the end of his black tunic. He carefully and softly wrapped the fabric around her wound and knot the ends together. He had then borrowed the bottles from the knapsack she wore, and brought the edge to her lips. She obediently took a sip, and the healing potion spread within her. She took a deep breath of air, and sighed of relief. She lent her attention back to the man, who had the same features as the man she had argued with earlier, but just looked…different. His once blond hair had taken on a shade of jet-black, and hung over his crimson eyes. All of his garments were dark as well, almost reaching the color of his hair. She couldn't help but doubt the fact that this was her hero in the first few moments she had stared at him. The colors…it's the only difference. How could that be? "There…it's better now." His red eyes met up with her blue ones, giving her a cold chill up her spine. Who else could it be? He looks…so much like him. The same voice…the same heart-warming smile. He even knew who she was. She tried to assure herself that this was Link, because there was no possible way it could be anybody else. Maybe the pain had, in any way, affected her eyesight. No…everything else around him looked the same. She didn`t know why he had looked so different, but she felt as if it was him. He hadn`t harmed her, in fact, he saved her. It must be him. He took her hands, in a bolder way than the old Link never dared to be, and frowned. "You're freezing… What happened to you?"

"I...I dove into t-the water…" The words, only partially returning to her.

"Why did…" He began, with his eyebrows furrowing in a friendly way. "Never mind…I think I have an idea. Can you stand?" He asked her, as she once did to him.

"I-I think so…" She tried to stand on her own, before she stumbled back into his arms.

"You'll get really sick if you stay in that for so long." He told her, upset that she couldn't help herself.

"I didn't bring an-any more clothes."

"I know, but you can use my tunic. just until your clothes dry, anyways." He offered. She blushed in response, thinking it over. "I'm wearing pants, if that's what you're nervous about." He smiled sheepishly, which only made her blush deeper.

"I-I know, Link." She responded, and he winced slightly at the name.

"Right…Here I'll help you to the room. You can change on your own, can't you?"

"I guess."

"Okay, here hold on." He carefully wrapped her left arm over his shoulder, with his hand around her waist, and escorted her to the small hide away on the west. "Call me if you need anything." He pulled off his black tunic, and handed it to her. Maybe it was her imagination, but Link's chest…was different than when she tended to it the day she met him, without her memories. It had a weird diamond pattern tainted into the edge of his waistline. She shook her head. Of course it's Link, only he would offer his own clothing to me…just like the night on the Lakeside. She accepted the tunic, and changed with all her efforts into it, while he paced outside.

Your chance, my child, is near. A voice echoed in the back of his mind.

I know but we must wait. We can't rush this… He responded.

Don't keep me waiting… The voice faded, and he only sighed in response.

"Link?" She called out.

"Are you okay?!" He responded, and pivoted in her direction. "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm fine. I'm dressed." She walked out in the tunic, as it fit tightly thanks to her belt, and so nicely on her. "How do I look?"

He gasped slightly, a little bewildering by how pleasant she looked. "You look great." He complimented.

"Thank you…" She smiled, but brought her hands behind her back, troubled by something. Looking at her shoes, she stepped closer to him, with a little effort. "I'm sorry, Link. I shouldn't have run off… I was just so-"

"No, it was my fault. I should've listened. I hurt you." He copied, and edged closer to her as well. "I'm sorry."

She sighed, and became quiet. Her eyes trailed along the ground to Link's leg, and remembered something. "Your leg… It healed?"

"Wh-…Oh…right. Yes, it healed. Just a little potion did the trick." He answered nervously.

"Oh…that's great. But I've got to go now. Thank you for coming, Link."

He grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from going any further. "Wait! Can't I come with you to the spring? It won't change the fact that you did it all on your own. Let me be with you, for just a little longer." She smiled, and nodded; it wouldn't be wrong to let him come. After all, I did do it alone up until here. And I still have the Earth Spring to get through. He smiled back, and let go of her. "Thanks." She walked a little clumsily to the rope, and began heating up with worry. How am I going to this, feeling so faint? No. I can't back out now! Especially not in front of Link! Just try. She dramatically brought one of her feet against the rope, and the bottom of her shoe slipped against the curves. She quickly jerked her foot back in panic. He waited apprehensively behind her, while she took her shoes off, put them in her bag, and gave the carrier to him.

"Could you throw this over?" She asked weakly, and bashfully. "I can't have too much weight on one side. It'll cause me to tip."

"Oh, sure." He took the bag, and impressively swung it over to the other end. She smiled at his strength, and tried to walk again. Without shoes, the jagged rope was a lot less slippery and easier to get a grip on. One foot at a time, she uncertainly climbed along it. It only scraped her skin into white scratches, which were rarely ever painful. When she had gotten far and secure enough onto rope, he had joined her. They held their arms out to keep balance as they made their way over the horrifying gorge. Zelda was already half way there when she messed her footing, and slipped. "Zelda!" He screamed after her. She caught the rope in time, and held on. "Wait, I'll be there in a second!" He carefully walked to her and leaned in headfirst. Placing his hands on hers, he realized what he had been doing. He was saving her. She willingly wrapped her hands around his, and he pulled her up. It felt like they were doing the impossible, putting so much pressure on the rope, but they had did it. She more slowly and steadily walked to the other side. He waited behind until she made it, not wanting to put so much pressure on the ends of the ropes, and then joined her.

What did you do, fool?! The voice hollered.

Don't worry; I know what I'm doing. He responded, with a little white lie hiding in his words. He had no idea what he was doing.

She went ahead into the large open doors, and he trailed behind. This room was almost round, and empty. There was no use for the room now, so she just ran to the other side. The door was glowing brilliant colors, which meant it was ready to be opened. She waited close to it, and it opened on command. Finally, she reached the first spring, Skyview Spring.

He stayed at the bottom of the stairs while she ran to the top. She kneeled in front of the Triforce Emblem and placed her hands together in a pray. She closed her eyes, and wished to herself from the deepest of her heart to replenish her memory. Patiently, she waited for an answer. In a moment, she felt a rush flow through her mind, full of precious moments of her past. Her whole body felt a sting from the pressure. She suddenly remembered her childhood… the memories she replayed with Link a while ago. The days of her school, the day they met, the day they found that island. All of it stirred into her as a storm, and she envisioned it all with her eyes clasped shut. She smiled lightly at the lovely ability to remember her childhood, and her past. He was right about it all. It was beautiful. She could feel her face redden, and tears gather at the base of her eyes. It was real. She knew it was. She felt herself fill with every memory where she had felt empty. Eventually, the memories had stopped speeding on one morning in Skyloft. A moment where she had held the Harp she had now, in front of the Giant statue of her likeness. She opened her eyes in disappointment, it was over.

She stood again, and whirled slowly to his direction again. A smile grew on her face from ear to pointy ear, and the stranger suddenly didn't feel so…strange, anymore. His complexion, his smile, meant so much more. This was her friend. This was Link. She ran back towards him, and allowed her tears to spill.

"Link…It's real. You`re…you`re really him. I remember it all! All those things…those beautiful things you've shown me; you were right. It's amazing. I'm… I'm your Zelda. I'm here. I feel so… I feel like myself again. I feel real." She giggled, feeling so emotional that all these words just poured out from in between her lips.

"I know, Zelda." He smiled lightly. Why isn't he excited? She thought to herself. This is what we've been waiting for…

"Just a bit more, and I'm back! We can go back to being normal. Finally!" She reminded him.

He gave her a quick chuckle, before looking away with guilt. "Look, Zelda… I feel really guilty about doing that to you this morning. Can you please forgive me? Can I come with you?" He pleaded. She took in a sharp breath, and led her eyes back to his. This was all to prove to him how well I can do. Wouldn't allowing him to join me ruin all of that? She opened her mouth and lowered her eyebrows, ready to say no, when he interrupted. "I shouldn't have disbelieved in you. You're obviously capable of handling yourself… I trust you, now."

She lifted her eyebrows back up in surprise. He trusts me? Isn't that all I wanted…? I mean…now that he trusts me, it wouldn't be wrong to have some company. "Okay, Link. But, you're not protecting me. You're just coming along, got that?"

He smirked. "Don't worry, I won't protect you."

Link was at the doors of his battle with Ghirahim, at Skyview Temple. He had made his way through the Temple, noticing Zelda had already come by the way he did. He could only hope he wasn't late again. Luckily, if she was hurt, he would've met with her already, but he hadn't. The doors at the other end were glowing luminous colors once more. He ran through the door, and into the spring. Now, he knew was late. He knew, she was gone.
