Kid had woken up in a cold sweat a few mornings after, his simple, yet frightening dream playing over and over again in his head.

Why did he have these kinds of dreams all the damn time? It was strange to him that his dreams always held some kind of secret meaning. It was scaring him to be honest. Kid rolled onto his side, curling into the blankets of the soft bed.

The sun was slowly raising and basking it's rays through the open window, shining onto Kid's face.

The prince groaned, throwing the blanket over his head in a huff. Curse his inability to sleep in. He had always woken up early because his day as a Prince always started early.

Now it seemed liked it didn't matter what time he woke up, as long as he was awake before noon.

Kid yawned loudly, rolling onto his stomach to try and block out the light that was shining through his window. After a few moments of trying to go back to sleep, the prince huffed in defeat, sitting up abruptly and throwing off the blanket in the process.

He yawned once more, stretching his arms up and out to try and wake his body up. He lazily opened his eyes to gaze around the room. He had been sleeping in this room for a total of three nights, and today was the day they were finally heading out back to the Great Plateau. He rubbed his eyes, slowly standing up and walking over to the dresser. The outfit Astoria had given him was always laid out neatly on the dresser every time he had woken up here. She always had taken the outfit before he went to sleep every night, so Kid assumed she washed it before she went to bed.

Kid smiled, picking up the outfit and moving it to the bed. He worked off his sleeping clothes, tossing them into the hamper and began to dress himself.

The morning was starting out peaceful despite his racked up nerves, but it didn't last too long.

"Hey Prince. Are you up ye-"

Kid screeched, jumping a good foot into the air. He whirled around to Soul standing in the doorway, his jaw dropped and his face flushed in embarrassment.

Kid was working his shirt on when the albino archer walked in, and he was currently lacking in pants.

Silence hung in the room, the air becoming stiff and warm with the awkward tension rising.

Soul looked away, slapping his hand over his eyes.

"U-Ummm, so sorry! I was just checking to make sure you were awake, since we wanna get a good head start this morning! So uhhhh…." he dragged his sentence out, peaking through his fingers to make sure Kid understood what he was saying.

Kid smiled nervously, moving his shirt to cover his nether region, even though he was still wearing boxers.

"Th-Thank you Soul. Now uhhh… c-could you maybe…?" he looked away, attempting to hid the blush traveling from his ears to his damn shoulders. Soul let out a little gasp, nodding his head.

"OH! Y-Yeah I'll be downstairs if you-OW! Owowow… if you need me."

And with that, after running into the wall, Soul had left Kid by himself once more. The prince sighed, placing his shirt down on the bed and slapping his face with his hands.

"What is wrong with me!? Why do I blush everytime he looks in my direction!?" he yelled to himself, staring down at the blanket. He would admit he'd miss being surrounded by the archer's scent every night…

And this was the moment Kid was sure he had lost his mind.

So what if he had a dream with Soul in it? It was just telling him that that's who he would met when he came down to the Surface! Right?

Then what was with the little touches and small kisses they exchanged in the dream too? What did Soul call him adorable? Why did Soul address him by his name? Why did Kid not only lean into his embrace like a lover of some kind, but why did he start kissing the boy's shoulders and chest!?

Kid's mind reeled as he finished getting dressed, his blush never wavering as he began to think more and more about the dream and what other things might've happened if the dream continued. What if that dream had continued? Would Kid had kept kissing Soul's body? Or would he have went for…

His...lips?

Kid let out a strangled noise of embarrassment, slamming his head against the wall. The thoughts he was having needed to exit his head and never try to come back. He slammed his head against the wall a few more times, wincing when one was a bit more then he intended.

"Prince? Are you ok up there?"

Astoria's concerned voice echoed from downstairs, the woman probably hearing the banging through the walls.

Kid rubbed his head, calling back.

"Yes I'm fine! I'll be downstairs in a minute!" Kid hurried and finished the rest of his outfit, putting on the belt and strapping the Sheikah Slate to it. Astoria had fashioned the little hook after Kid brought up the slight annoyance it would be to constantly have it in his hands.

Bless that woman.

Once Kid had finished getting dressed, he opened the door to Soul's room and walked out. He moved past a few other doors and went downstairs, the smell of breakfast filling his nose.

He smiled, entering the main room to see the whole family gathered at the table, a seat in-between Soul and Maka waiting for him.

Sound looked over, smiling when Kid reached the bottom of the wooden stairs.

"Ah, good morning Prince! I hope you slept well. Excited for your trip?" he asked, watching as Kid came over and sat down in his chair. Kid nodded, looking down at the meal presented to him. It was a soft, warm looking fruit pastry with what appeared to by honey sprinkled over it.

"I did thank you. And yes, I'm excited. But… I'm also a bit nervous too. Guess it's my nerves about this whole thing getting to me. I just hope nothing goes wrong or anything…" he whispered, taking his knife and cutting off a piece of the pastry.

Astoria chuckled, shaking her head.

"I don't think anything will go wrong Prince. My son and his friends are all very experienced out there, so there's nothing to worry about," she soothed, Kid giving her a gentle smile in response.

"Thank you Miss Astoria, but I don't think it's just that anymore…" he hummed, smiling briefly when he tasted the pastry.

Maka rose a brow, giving him a confused glance.

"If not that then what are you worried about?" she asked. Kid unhooked his slate from his belt, lifting it up and moving towards the map. He turned it so that the whole table could see the map, pointing to a glowing, blue triangular symbol.

"This point is marked in the middle of nowhere. The only part of the world map that I have on here is the Great Plateau, so this point seems to be somewhere north of it. It calls it… the Saas Ko'sah Shrine. It has a warp thing displayed too, not that I know what that is…" he hummed, staring at the small blue mark.

Maka stared at the blue mark curiously, standing up to retrieve something. Kid watched her curiously as she pulled out the world map from one of the shelves and brought it over, opening it up and comparing it the Slate.

"Hmm… judging on the distance from the Plateau and the mark, that place should be…." Maka traced her finger over the map, matching the distance.

The breath of every person in the room seemed to run short when Maka's finger stopped at the Castle.

"Hyrule Castle?! Why on Earth would that tiny thing want you to warp into the most dangerous place on the planet?!" Marina yelled, Kid winced and leaning back in his chair, slightly intimidated by the elder's volume.

Astoria placed a hand on her mother's shoulder, trying to calm her down while the others began to chatter nervously. Wes leaned across the table to take the map, looking at the spot curiously.

"It wouldn't be such a problem to get in if the place wasn't surrounded by Guardians and some of the most dangerous monsters in the world. I hear the place has a few Lynels in it." A few people listening shuttered at the word, but Kid only rose a brow in curiosity.

"Lynels? What are those?" he asked, Sound turning to him with a frightened gaze.

"Lynels are some of the most dangerous monsters in the world. Soul told me you all ran into some Bokoblins on the way here, and those are the least dangerous. Next are Moblins, then Lizalfos. Chuchus aren't really as dangerous as they are an annoyance, and Keese are like that too. There are tiny rock monsters called Pebbilts, but they're nothing to their larger counterpart, Talus'. Octoroks are annoying and dangerous since they bury themselves into the ground until you get into their range, then they pop up and shot heavy stones at you while you're not looking. A Hinox is especially bad, with their large size. And that's not even the worst part, each monster comes in varying shapes and sizes. I've heard of Moldugas before but they only appear in the desert and I've only ever been as far as the Bazaar. There are also Wizzrobes, magic monsters that fire elemental attacks at you and then disappear to get behind you. There are also Stal monsters, the living skeletons of monsters, but they're not so dangerous if you sever their heads from their bodies and crush them. Stalnox's however are particularly bad. But Lynels are the worst monster you could ever approach; they're smart, big, fast, and with crazy bow accuracy! And with each type, comes different levels of ferocity. Like a Red Bokoblin isn't too much of a problem, but a Silver Bokoblin is the worst type. They're smarter then most and much stronger."

Kid was trembling by the time Sound was done with his monster explanation. But if that wasn't enough to scare him, Sound lifted his shirt to show a god awful scar on his side. It looked grotesque and ugly, like something had sliced him open to his bones.

"I got this wound from a Silver Lynel, the most dangerous kind of Lynel and most feared monster in the world, next to Guardians. I was on a trading trip when I stumbled into one's territory. As I was trying to escape, it fired a lightning arrow at me and grazed me. I was temporarily stunned and my side ripped open. But luckily there were some travelers nearby, and they rushed me away from the Lynel and back here. I was lucky to get out of that alive, to be honest. If those travelers hadn't come, I'd be dead."

Kid felt like the very marrow in his bones had froze. He had gone stiff and pale, sweating profusely at Sound's tale.

Astoria then smacked Sound upside the head, glaring at him.

"Sound you moron! You're scaring him right before he goes out to where all those monsters are with your story! I mean look at him!" She pointed at the trembling Prince, Sound immediately wincing when he saw the damage.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Prince, I didn't mean that you'd get hurt, I was just giving you a head's up so you'd be ready! Don't worry, my son and his friends are capable fighters and if worst case scenario they can't defeat an enemy, running away isn't too bad either. So don't worry alright?" he smiled, sighing in relief when Kid nodded.

Kid looked down at his Sheikah Slate, trying to calm himself down after Sound's story. He thought those Bokoblins were bad!? With everything Sound said, there were so many other threats out there! And people traveled through them willy nilly!?

This place was truly terrifying.

Wes chuckled, reaching over to pat Kid's shoulder.

"Hey, at least there's a plus side to there being so many monsters around," he smiled. Kid jumped, his jaw dropped.

"What!? What kind of good thing comes from crazy monsters trying to kill you every seconds!?" he snapped, his eyes wild.

Black Star smirked, reaching into his pocket and pulling out what appeared to be a tooth.

"The good part is the shit they drop. They are certain people out there who'll pay a hefty price for monster parts. So the more monsters you kill, the more rupees you'll have stuffed in your wallet!" he smirked, putting the tooth back in his pocket. Kid rose a brow.

"...Rupees? What are those?" he asked.

The entire table turned to stare at him.

"You… don't know what rupees are?" Maka asked, as if trying to see if she heard him wrong. Kid shook his head.

"Is your currency down here? We just used coins made copper up there. What does a rupee look like?" he asked. Soul sighed, pulling out small, green gem.

"This is a rupee. Depending on the color depends on how much it's worth. Like a green rupee is worth one. A blue worth five, a red worth twenty, you get it right?" he asked. Kid stared at the gem for a few more moments, before letting out a little gasp.

"Hey, those kinds of gems are everywhere in the Death Islands! But I've never seen a green one before…" he hummed, looking it over curiously.

The whole table seemed go silent. Wes then asked a question.

"Umm… what colors are up there?"

Kid rose a brow, then smiled.

"Well, these gems are everywhere in the ground, in fact you go outside barefoot you have good chance of stepping on one. We always saw them as a part of the grass, never with any financial value. But the ones we have up there only come in silver and gold…"

Soul promptly choked on his drink and Black Star's jaw dropped. Maka looked at him like he had grown a second head of some kind.

"S-Silver and gold rupees? Just, littering the floor!? Are you serious!?" she screamed, Kid jumping back in shock. He reached to his side, pulling a medium sized sack off his belt.

"Y-Yeah. I had my bag of the ones I picked up with me when I fell, since I liked to pick up one whenever I saw one. They're not really valuable or precious to me, but I hoped having some would come in handy eventually."

He opened up the sack to reveal dozens of silver and gold rupees.

Maka, Soul, and Black Star all gasped, suddenly squeezing to his sides and peering into the bag in amazement.

"Holy crap! I've never seen so many gold and silver rupees in my life!" Soul yelled, poking one with his hand. Black Star grinned widely, setting his chin down on Kid's head.

"Oh man we are set! This is amazing dude you're fucking rich!" he yelled. Kid chuckled, rolling his eyes.

"Well I am a Prince after all. But, how much are these worth and why are you so shocked to see so many of them?" he asked. Maka turned to him, her eyes wide and full of excitement.

"Are you kidding me!? Silver rupees are worth one hundred, and gold ones, three! Also these things are very hard to find out in the wild, we can only ever find them in chests. This is fantastic!" she cheered, pumping her fists into the air. Kid rose his brows in shock as the three began to parade around the room excitedly.

Astoria just rolled her eyes, waving them all over.

"Alright, alright! Come sit back down you three. Let's discuss your plan of action today alright? You can freak out about the money later."

The three walked back over to the table and sat down, slightly pouting due to their celebration being cut short. Kid stifled a laugh, putting the sack away and turning back to Astoria.

"So, we're gonna leave and retrace our steps back to the Great Plateau. This time taking horses, or the one horse that we have at least, and start working through everything once we get there?" Kid ran over the thoughts in his head, a few of his dreams coming into mind as he thought.

Astoria nodded, pointing to the Sheikah Slate.

"One thing to remember is that the Great Plateau is elevated and really hard to climb. I think there was another way in but I'm not too sure about it. But once you get inside you should start looking for things that might seem related to the Sheikah Slate," she explained, pointing around the Plateau to show the wall around it. Kid nodded, remembering briefly about how when he foolishly began running to the Castle that he had no idea that cliff was there and feel off it. Luckily there were branches along the side and he landed in one. He climbed the rest of the way down.

Kid hummed, looking to a small, tiny little yellow dot sitting there on the map. He tapped on it, and the label came up as, "Destination".

Destination? As in where he was supposed to go? Kid kept quiet about it, not wanting to bring up any more problems as the room discussed the plan with each other.

"So, we'll take Epona and make our way back to the Plateau, and once we get there we'll find a way to get in without having to scale the wall. Seems easy enough," Soul stated, finishing off his breakfast and pushing his plate away.

Astoria nodded, turning to Kid briefly.

"Is there anything that concerns you Prince? Or does it all sound good to you?" she asked, making sure Kid had no objections to the plan.

The prince nodded, looking over his Sheikah Slate once more before smiling.

"Sounds good to me. Thank you for everything you've done. I feel a bit more confidant down here now. I know I wouldn't make it a week by myself, but at least I have some knowledge now. Once again, thank you so much!" Kid gave a small bow from his seat.

Astoria chuckled and Sound waved him off.

"Ah please, it's no problem! Any friend of our son if practically a child of our own! Feel free to come back anytime to relax or take a break if you need to!" he smiled, reaching to take Kid's hand and shake it.

Kid blushed, nodding happily when Soul's family all praised him and basically welcomed him into the family. Soul couldn't help but smile as his family bustled around Kid excitedly, giving him affectionate hair ruffles and back pats.

Maka clapped her hands together and Black Star gave off a proud grin, crossing his arms.

"Well, this should be fun! Now how about we get this show on the road?" he announced, getting cheers from Soul and Maka both. Kid turned around and nodded happily, walking over and joining the little group huddle.

The three Land Dwellers gave Kid the same hair ruffles and back pats, giving him their support and loyalty.

Kid found himself overcome with happiness, constantly wiping his eyes free of tears as the three helped him with his things and lead him outside.

Their journey was starting. He was finally off to save his Mother and to help save their land.

"Ahhh! I love this much more!"

Kid stretched his arms up, sighing happily as they moved down the road. Soul laughed, turning from where he was placed on the horse. Soul was currently steering his steed Epona down the road, with Kid placed behind him.

"You just love it because you don't have to walk anymore," he smirked, Kid huffing in disagreement.

"That's not all! Epona is such a sweet horse! And strong too. I'm surprised she can carry two people at once," he smiled, leaning over to pat Epona's side. The horse whinnied in happiness, already taking a liking to Kid.

Black Star huffed, crossing his arms to pout.

"Yeah, rub it in why dont'cha? Mister high and mighty…" he sneered, staring up at Kid from where he was on the ground. Kid snickered, waving the bluenette off.

"You heard what Soul said, Epona can't carry more then three people. And instead of having you and Maka argue over who gets to be the third rider Soul said it would just be him and I up here. So quit whining alright?"

Black Star snorted, glaring down at his feet. Maka just laughed, fixing one of her pigtails.

"Hey, at least we have Epona now so things should go by a lot quicker now!" she pointed out, smiling to Black Star. The swordsman growled angrily, pointing up at Kid and Soul accusingly.

"But with two of us walking they have no choice but to go our pace so now there's no fucking point! It'll takes us just as long to get there as it did for us to get here!" he yelled, getting in Maka's face. The girl scoffed, turning her nose up.

"Well we were walking from Central Hyrule last time! This time we're going a shorter distance. So quit your bellyaching!" she argued, pushing back against him.

Soul sighed, shaking his head and giving the reins a little move to make Epona go a little faster. He turned his head to speak to Kid.

"Let's see if they notice us outrunning them," he whispered, grinning when Kid chuckled. As the two trotted ahead, Kid looked up towards the sky, his mind drifting towards his dreams the past few nights.

Maybe he should say something about them…

"Hmm… Soul?" he voiced, the albino turning his head with a slight hum.

"Yeah? Somethin' on your mind Your Majesty?" he asked. Kid jumped, a slight blush when Soul addressed him as such. He wanted to be treated a bit casually by the people down here, since he was only ever addressed that way by his people or by other nobles. So why did Soul calling him that make him feel a bit light.

"Y-Yeah. I was wanting to tell you about some uhh… dreams I had before I got down here, I'll you'll hear me."

Soul rose a brow in confusion, but nodded his head. Black Star and Maka had caught up to them, both verbally complaining about being left but quieted themselves when Soul held up a hand. Kid smiled, continuing on.

"Well… I had three strange dreams the three nights before I feel. The first one was of my old teacher telling me the legend we had above about the Surface. The second night I was actually standing in the Surface, but I couldn't move. The third night…"

Kid trailed off, a blush rising up his neck. He took a few, hesitant glances towards Soul, remembering the contents of the dream he head that night. Soul rose a brow.

"Um… and on the third night?"

Kid jumped, feeling the hair on the back of his neck rise up.

"U-Um… on the third night…. I was able to move around. Th-That's all," he lied. The three others noticed his sudden nervousness, but brushed it off and let him continue.

"I think those dreams were trying to tell me that I would soon be going to the Surface. I thought the dreams to just be silly thoughts, but here I am now…"

Maka hummed, piping up.

"Any other dreams recently? Like instructions on what to do?" she asked. Kid nodded.

"The night on the day we reached Kakariko, I had a dream. But I was standing in a dark void. I only heard a voice speaking out to me. She told me to find some 'King' in the Great Plateau. And I think it might have to do with the glowing point on my Slate. Maybe there's someone waiting there for us…" he pondered. Black Star stood on his toes to see the Slate, an eyebrow raised.

"So… anything else? Other then a King we don't have?" he asked. Kid nodded.

"She talked about piecing someone named Link back together. Some 'sword that seals the darkness', and these things called the Divine Beasts. But I'm not sure what it all meant." Kid placed a hand on his chin, lowering his eyes in thought.

But the other three crying out in shock was something he wasn't expecting.

"THE DIVINE BEASTS!?"

The three collectively shouted, making Kid jump and Epona throw her head in fear. Soul took a moment to calm her, while the other two gawked at Kid.

"The Divine Beasts?! Why would anyone want to do anything with them!?" Maka shouted, suddenly becoming rather scared. Kid rose a brow, looking down at her.

"What about those Divine Beasts? What's bad about them?"

Soul turned around to answer him, "The Divine Beasts are four, great machines once powered by the four champions of Hyrule. But a hundred years ago, Asura made them go crazy, and they turned on and killed their Champions." He explained, making Kid shudder in fear.

"Oh… I see…"

Soul seemed to sense his discomfort, reaching back to pat his knee.

"Hey, don't worry about it. We'll keep you away from those things alright?" He smiled, giving Kid a warm glow. The Prince nodded, smiling gently.

They were on their way. Kid looked down at the Sheikah Slate, running over his thoughts.

What did his dreams really mean. And why did he seem to dream about either what he wanted?

When he got to the Great Plateau, he hoped to find that out.

YAY! THE ADVENTURE IS BEGINING!
