Anju awoke suddenly. There was someone banging on their front door. She shook Kafei awake.
"W-what is it?" he yawned.
"I think someone is banging at our front door!" Anju replied and glanced at her watch. It read 12:04.
The couple climbed out of bed and ran into the hallway just as Link swung open his door.
"I heard it too." He said.
The three tiptoed down stairs and to the door. The knocking was beginning to get louder and more aggressive. Kafei grabbed a fire poker, and stepped in front of Anju protectively. The trio exchanged glances as if trying to decide who will open the door. Link decided he would do it. I mean, he's fought monsters 10 times the size of him so this is nothing. He slowly turned the knob and opened the door.
"Zelda!? Impa!?" He asked, taken aback.
"Who?" Anju and Kafei said in unison.
Zelda smiled.
"Hi Link, may we come in?"
Link glanced back at the couple.
"Oh, uh, of course! Any friend of yours is a friend of ours Link!" Kafei said and lowered his fire poker.
Zelda and her guardian Impa walked into the Inn. Anju motioned for them to sit down. She then went into the kitchen and started boiling water for tea. Kafei, Link, Zelda and Impa sat in silence for a few moments.
"So… why exactly are you here?" Link said, his voice shaking.
Zelda cleared her throat.
"Ganondorf broke through the realm we sent him to and is wreaking havoc in Hyrule once again." Zelda said solemnly.
"Sorry, but do you mind filling me in?" Kafei asked.
Zelda smiled.
"Three years ago, an evil man named Ganondorf came to Hyrule claiming he had business to discuss with my father, the king. I knew he was up to something but I was but a mere 10 year old and no one believed me, Except for Link."
Link grinned, remembering the day him and the princess first met.
Zelda continued her story.
"Ganon killed and tortured many, until Link fought him and won. I then sealed him away
in the light realm, preventing his chaos. Somehow though, he has managed to break through the realm walls, and into our world."
Zelda finished.
"We need your help Link." Impa said. Her eyes though were focused on Kafei's, which were the same colour as her own.
Anju walked into the room smiling, as she handed Impa and Zelda a cup of tea. They thanked her and she sat down next to Kafei.
"So… So I have to leave?" He asked.
"That would be the noble thing to do." Zelda said.
Kafei stood up.
"Well…well if Link is leaving, then I'm going too!" He said.
"We need all the help we can get." Zelda agreed.
"Wait. Kafei, maybe 12:30 at night isn't the best time to make life changing decisions." Anju said responsibly, a hint of humor in her voice.
"Like Zelda said, they need all the help they can get!" Kafei sighed.
Anju thought for a moment.
"Promise you'll come back in one piece?" She asked
"I promise." Kafei replied.
Anju then looked over at Zelda and Impa.
"Shall I prepare a room?"
