Finally, the TARDIS settled and landed. Both Link and the Doctor had been thrown to the floor, and Link's over sized sword had slid quite a ways away. The Doctor stood first; He's used to this; And proceeded to walk over to the console, straightening his bow tie. He swung the monitor around to face him.
"Well..." He began, "It seems we're still in Hyrule... Ish... We're three years in the future, and in a forest that's- What are you doing?"
Link had gotten up and opened the door.
"I want to see future Hyrule."
"But... That could cause problems, meeting future versions of people you know, and-"
"Yes, I get it. Come ON, we're in the middle of a forest, and I won't go far."
The Doctor sighed, rolling his eyes.
"FINE. Just... Don't go too far, and be careful. I need to stay here and figure out way the TARDIS brought us here on her own..."
"Aye-aye, Captain Doctor," Link responded, giving a playful salute before walking out the door and into the forest. He took a deep breath. As he walked, he began to think about the Doctor. There was a strange amount of trust between them, even though they had just met. It was strange, yet also somehow... Refreshing. He wasn't one to trust people easily.
He noticed that this forest smelled just the same as the forest he knew from back home, you know, three years ago. It was nice. However, his moment of sentimentality was interrupted by a cry. It was a human cry, and while it sounded scared, there was also a sense of defeat. And it wasn't very loud, either. it sounded... Weak.
His instincts caused his legs to start moving in the direction of the sound.
And of course, he regretted it.
About ten minutes after Link had left, the Doctor stood up from under the console, satisfied with his findings. He heard the TARDIS door creak open, and runs up to the main platform to greet Link. He looked quite shell shocked, and a bit sick.
"Are you ok?" The Doctor asked, looking concerned.
Link flinched and looked at him, as if he hadn't known he was there. "Hm? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm fine... Real fine."
"Alright then... " He wasn't very convinced. "Well, I found out why she brought us here. Apparently, a fixed point in time occures in this forest, an event that must happen no matter what.'
"A... Fixed point... Well... Not much happens in a forest... Unless..."
"What is it?"
"Goddesses, I really hope this isn't it..."
"Link, tell me. What did you see?"
"My own death."
And for once upon the two time travelers, besides the solemn humming of the TARDIS, who seemed to be informing them that they where correct upon their suspicions, silence fell.
