Hey guys! Sorry for the longish wait, but I'm back with a new chapter finally! School's been keeping me pretty busy ^^ Anyway, this one was inspired from a reviewer called templeofsouls who suggested I do a chapter with Lana in the library. I quite liked that idea, so here it is! Thank you guys soooo much for all the reviews, favorites, follows, etc, I'm honestly so happy! And thanks for leaving the suggestions, too! I'll try my best to incorporate as many of them as I can in future chapters. Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter Four: Lana

I sneezed quite loudly in our gigantic castle of a library as I lifted a book off one of the higher shelves, which was just close enough for me to reach. I could feel the annoyed gazes of the other students behind my back, but I honestly didn't care. It wasn't my fault these books were so dusty! The school really should spend more money on cleaning the library. It's my favorite part about school. I love reading books and gaining knowledge...

The shelves stretched to at least seven feet off the ground, which was well beyond my height. Those books weren't all that interesting, though. I once asked our librarian, Mr. Horwell, what kinds of books there were on the top shelves, and he just laughed and said, "Not the kinds you'd be interested in, my dear." I was still curious, so I'd used a stool to reach up to the last shelf, and sure enough, I was not interested. At all. In fact, I was a bit appalled. Why would they even put sex ed books in the same section as the most amazing books of all time, like the Legends of the Hero and the Princess?! Ugh.

Sighing, I brought the book to my level and smiled. Another great title. The Goddess Harp. I slipped it into my bag, along with the ten other books I had in there, and then continued to scan the shelves for more.

I guess you've figured out that I have a huge addiction to books, haven't you? Well, that's me. My hair isn't dyed baby blue just because, you know! I chose to color it that way in honor of Nayru, my favorite goddess from a book series I like. And I don't wear feathers in my hair for the heck of it, no, I wear them to make myself feel connected to Loftwings, which are ancient, now extinct, giant birds that once existed in the Era of the Sky, more than a million years ago.

Wow. I'm such a nerd.

After searching around for a few more minutes, I was about to leave, when something caught my eye. It was a book, obviously, but it was something more, almost...It was bigger than all the others around it, and it had some sort of...aura surrounding it. It was weird...I felt as if I were being drawn towards it, aside from the literal sense.

It was huge, like I said, and the cover was a deep red color. It had golden designs inscribed around it, and it almost felt as if I'd seen it before...only I hadn't.

Does that sound crazy? Because it was.

Feeling a little too giddy internally, I started to reach for it, but then frowned. Figures. It was on a shelf too high for me to reach.

I groaned. It was only three more minutes until passing period. And the stools were usually kept on the other side of the library...It'd take way too long to get it and bring it back.

I tried my best to reach for it, but it was futile. Dang my average height.

"Hey, do you need some help?" called a voice from my left.

I turned to see the owner of the voice. It was a guy...no one I'd ever seen before, and he smiled warmly at me. His blue eyes twinkled, and his blond hair was slightly messy. I guessed he'd had PE before this. He was carrying a stack of books almost equivalent to mine in his hands.

"Uh, sure," I replied uncertainly. He walked over and set his pile of books on the ground.

He asked, "Which book did you need?"

I pointed to the red one, and he nodded. "Yeah, that's pretty high up there."

I chuckled a bit. "You can probably reach it..."

Sure enough, he reached for it and brought it down almost effortlessly, and with a smile, handed it to me.

"It looks really interesting," he remarked. "I've never read it before."

"Me neither..." I said, staring wide-eyed at the front cover. It was adorned with a crescent moon in the center, with the same golden trim lacing around it.

"Let me know how it is. I might have to read it after you."

I smiled. "Yeah, definitely!"

At that moment, the bell rang. Oh no, I have to gather up all my stuff or I'm gonna be late!

As I was doing so, the new guy waited there with me, and I was a bit surprised. Shouldn't he be leaving? He has class too!

Regardless, we sort of walked together to the exit after checking out our books. "So, uh, are you new here?" I asked casually.

He nodded. "Yup, it's my first day. I had to get all these books to catch up with my classes." he explained, referring to the giant pile of books in his hands.

I laughed. "I wish I had that excuse! I only have these many books because I'm absolutely addicted to reading! It's pretty unhealthy."

He chuckled. "Eh, there are worse things to be addicted to. At least your addiction isn't lethal."

"Oh, it might be someday."

We both laughed.

"I once stayed up all night finishing a book series," he told me.

"I once didn't sleep for two days reading a book series!"

"Woah, really?"

"Yes! It was a really long series. I bascially had to survive off caffine for 48 hours."

He laughed. "I'd probably go crazy if I did that."

"Meh, I'm pretty much insane, so, you know..."

"Nah, you're pretty normal. I've seen worse, trust me."

I smiled a bit.

"Oh, I'm stupid. I forgot to ask your name!" I said as we exited the library.

"Link," he said, smiling. "And no, you're not. I should've asked yours before I basically started a forced conversation with you."

I laughed, "No worries, I'm glad we had this forced conversation! I'm Lana, by the way."

"Very nice to meet you." he said, and we shook hands. I have to say, his ability to balance twelve big books between one arm and his hip was pretty impressive.

"I guess I'll see you around then," I said.

He grinned. "I can tell you like the library, and I'm the same way, so we'll probably see each other a lot."

I giggled. "Yeah."

We were about to go our separate ways, when I said, "Shoot! I forgot one more thing! Thanks for, uh, getting that book down for me!"

He grinned. "Not a problem. In return, you'll definitely let me read it next, right?"

I smiled. "Definitely. See you, Link!"

"Later, Lana!"

As I walked the halls, I sort of felt my face heat up with happiness. This Link guy...he liked reading as much as me...and he was really cute, too! Not to mention, he was a complete gentleman and totally cool and nice, and...wait. Could this mean...

No.

Had I...found my Prince Charming?


Yes, the book Lana is interested in is the Book of Sorcery she uses in Hyrule Warriors ^^

To answer a few questions:

1. The characters in this harem are mainly going to be characters who, I feel, have a potential chance with Link canonically. Meaning that I won't be writing chapters on say, like, Anju, who obviously is romantically involved with someone else. I'm talking Ruto, Marin, Midna, etc. You know, girls who've had some time of relationship with Link in-game that could have been romantic. AKA, the point of fanfiction XD

2. Nabooru, although she didn't have her own chapter, thinks Link is cute, but she's not that infatuated with him like the others are. That's sort of how I saw it in the game, too, since she remarked that he was a handsome young man, but we never really got anything more than that in their in-game relationship. ^^

Thanks so much, guys! Until next time :)
