Author's Note: Hey guys sorry this update is so late into the month. I wanted this part to be longer to make up for last month but ran out of time. I will try and accomplish this next month. Please enjoy the chapter.

The sun was setting as the group approached Lurelin Village on horse back. Rhomson and Hudson rode on a horse while Rivan and Gaddison rode on another, Pyle and Bargoh walked with Midna close to them, Teba soared high in the sky, and Link and Mipha shared a third horse.

Rivan hopped off with a blush on his face. "We made it."

Gaddison nodded while trying to hide the red on her face.

"Are we certain that was faster?" asked Pyle.

Teba circled around the group before landing next to the Gorons. "Yes. It isn't much but it still is faster."

"We couldn't have galloped all the way here," Mipha said. She sat behind Link on the horse. "That wouldn't be fair to the horses."

"I think so too," Link stated.

Bargoh scowled. Of course he takes her side.

"At least this way we can make a quick escape if needed," Rhomson said.

Hudson nodded. "It's a good thing that we have them now."

"Going back to that," Mipha stated, "you two aren't going to be doing more of that type of negotiating are you?"

"It's not like either one of us lied about the situation," Rhomson replied.

"Yes," Hudson said. "Besides, when all of this is over we can pay them back with interest."

Rhomson smiled. "So we were thinking the same thing?"

Hudson smiled. "Great minds think alike."

"Interest?" asked Link.

"Nothing you need to worry about," Mipha replied.

"That may come back to you when your memory returns," Teba said. "Is there a memory here?"

Mipha nodded. "As well as the shrine near the town. There is also one above it on top of the cliff over looking the ocean."

"How do you know that?" asked Bargoh.

"Traveling to help others," Mipha replied, "as well as prepare for the future."

"For when the hero awoke right?" asked Pyle.

Mipha shot him a glare.

Pyle flinched. "Sorry. Force of habit."

Mipha secured the horses and left toward the inn.

Bargoh leaned toward Pyle. "You know she doesn't like it when we do that."

"I know. Slip of the tongue."

Rhomson's eyes wondered over at the Gorons and watched.

"Something wrong?" asked Hudson.

"Just keeping an eye on our rock heads," Rhomson replied.

"So they are up to something," Hudson stated.

Rhomson looked back at Hudson. "You can tell?"

Hudson nodded. "I have a guess, but nothing solid."

"Care to share?" whispered Rhomson.

Hudson motioned her to come closer. She bend down a little and Hudson whispered into her ear. A few seconds passed, she smiled and stood back up.

"I'm impressed," Rhomson said. "You know how to read people."

"You have to in business," Hudson replied. "If you don't, you won't know if the other person is trying to give you a bad deal. Plus...the Yiga like to disguise themselves. Granted I am not good enough to see through it, but at least we can be wary."

Rhomson nodded.

Gaddison and Rivan waited by the inn. Gaddison still blushing.

"...were you comfortable?" Rivan finally asked.

"Y-Yes," Gaddison replied. "It was definitely an experience, and despite the situation, also relaxing."

"Horseback riding can have that affect," Rivan said.

"I didn't know you knew how to ride one," Gaddison stated.

Rivan smiled. "I saw Link riding across the wet lands one time. It made me want to try it. Got lessons at the near by stable...I haven't gone in years though. Got to say that I missed it."

Gaddison looked over and smiled. "You're smiling."

Rivan blushed. "What is strange about that?"

"I haven't seen you smile in a long time."

Rivan turned his head away to hide his blush. "I have smiled. You must have not noticed."

"How about we go horse back riding more when this is all over?" Gaddison asked. "You can teach me."

Rivan scratched his cheek. "I...guess we can do that."

Midna and Link went toward the market. An assortment of fish were for sale along with wheat, and arrows of ice and electricity. The people seemed wary of Midna, but Link assured them that she was good and wouldn't cause any trouble.

Midna sniffed the air and backed away from the fish stall.

"Not a fan of fish?" asked Link.

Midna laid down and covered her nose.

Link laughed. "It is a strong smell."

Link moved away from the stall and Midna quickly followed.

Mipha rejoined the group. "I have our beds for the night."

"I take it except for the Gorons?" asked Teba.

Mipha rubbed the back of her head. "Unfortunately they don't have strong enough beds for them."

Bargoh shrugged. "I expected as much. Gorons do not travel this far south usually."

Pyle nodded.

"So then what is the plan?" asked Rhomson.

"We have some time before sunset so enjoy yourselves," Mipha replied.

"I'm guessing that you will help...Link with his memory?" asked Pyle.

Mipha nodded.

Rhomson narrowed her eyes. Nice save rock head.

"I will fly around to scout the local area," Teba said.

"Why didn't you do that first?" asked Bargoh.

Rivan scowled. "Oh and you could do better?"

Bargoh glared at Rivan. "I can't fly so no. But he could have done that while waiting."

"He flew most of the day and needed a break rock head!"

"Enough!" Mipha shouted.

Silence.

Mipha took a deep breath. "Teba, if you are not too tired then feel free. You guys have free time until we head out to the shrine tomorrow."

"Isn't Link going through the local shrine today?" asked Pyle.

Hudson rolled his eyes. They don't let up.

"Of course I am," Link replied. He stood next to Mipha.

"Now then, you all are excused," Mipha said.

The group parted leaving Link and Mipha with only Midna. Mipha sighed.

"Are you alright?" asked Link.

Mipha nodded. "Just a lot of stress dealing with those two...but it isn't anything I can't handle."

"Don't push yourself. I admit Pyle and Bargoh are tough to deal with, but at least they are helping us."

Rhomson's message flashed in Mipha's mind: the Gorons plan to take Link. Mipha looked out toward the hill top west ward.

Link tilted his head. "Mipha?"

"Sorry...just lost in thought."

Link looked westward. "...you know, on the way here, you looked toward that hill too."

Mipha blinked. "I did?"

"Is there something special about that hill?"

Mipha shook her head. "Do not worry about that right now. Come on."

Mipha headed eastward to the outskirts of the village. Link looked back at the hill in question for a moment before following. They soon arrived at a crescent shaped beach.

"This is the spot," Mipha stated.

Link took out the Slate and began moving through the photographs. He found one that looked like the area. It was a match. His eyes widened as the memory played in his head.

Zelda walked in the shallows of the beach with a plain expression. Link swung the Master Sword a few times in rapid succession and exhaled.

Link looked over toward Zelda. "Everything alright?"

"..."

"Zelda?"

"I failed at the Spring of Courage," Zelda said. "...how many more times am I going to fail?"

Link sheathed the Master Sword. He walked closer to Zelda.

"What if I fail again at the Spring of Power?" Zelda questioned. "Or the Spring of Wisdom? What if I can't awaken my power before the Calamity falls upon us? What will we do then?"

Link listened.

"The kingdom will collapse and it will be all my fault," Zelda continued. "People are going to die because of my incompetence to call forth my power." She grabbed her head as her whole body shook. "I...I..."

Link splashed her with water.

"Hey Link I'm serious here!"

"I know you are. You need to relax."

"How can I with the fate of the kingdom rests on my shoulders?"

"It rests on both of our shoulders."

Zelda sighed. "And you have the Master Sword. Your part is done."

Link shook his head. "Not by a long shot. Zelda, just because I have this sword doesn't mean we are guarantee to win. The same thing with you having your power."

"But that has the highest chance of success."

"You are right. But we have other methods to push him back. We have the Guardians, the Divine Beasts and their operators, we have a whole nation's worth of an army made of different races."

Zelda slumped her head. "What if we fail?"

Link splashed her again.

Zelda was fuming. "Would you cut that out?!"

"Stop over worrying."

Zelda blinked. "What?"

"You are going way too far with the worrying," Link explained. "I'm worried too but I don't let the worry consume me."

Zelda plumped into the shallows. "How can you not over worry?"

"We have a plan," Link replied. "Plans change with time because situations change constantly. Who knows how this will all play out? But we have a plan to follow. When the situation changes, so will the plan. We can follow it to a degree but we will need to adapt along the way."

Link extends a hand toward Zelda. Zelda looked up at him.

Link smiled. "So why worry about something that is bound to change? It's best to take this one day at a time and enjoy the little things."

Zelda's eyes began to water. She quickly wiped them and reached for Link's hand.

Link opened his eyes to find himself back in the present. Mipha stood in front of him.

"You okay?" she asked.

Link nodded. He thought back to the journey so far, what he remembered, and sighed.

Maybe I should take my own advice.

"What did you remember?" Mipha asked.

Link stared into the ocean. "That we need to enjoy the little things."

Mipha smiled. "Right."

"That includes you too," Link stated. "You have a lot on your mind."

Mipha looked away. "Not much."

Link smirked. He scooped up some water and splashed her.

Midna snorted.

Mipha blinked. "What was that suppose to do?"

Link sheepishly smiled. "Uh...cheer you up?"

Mipha laughed.

Meanwhile: Teba glided down toward Lurelin Village. He spotted Pyle and Bargoh and landed near them.

"So how does it look?" asked Pyle.

"The shrine on the top of the cliff is there," Teba replied. "There is a monster strong hold in the way though."

Bargoh cracked his neck. "How many?"

"It's a encampment of Goblins and Moblins," Teba stated. "The only one that will give us trouble is the Moblin captain."

"What is his color?" asked Pyle.

"Black," Teba replied.

Pyle nodded. "Nothing that we can't handle."

"Shouldn't we get the hero for this?" asked Bargoh. "This will be good training."

"'Link' is working on his memory and the local shrine," Teba stated. "It would be best if we find Rhomson and Hudson and take care of it ourselves."

"He will not get stronger if we do all the fighting for him," Pyle argued.

"Then I guess the fort will be destroyed tomorrow then," Teba stated.

Bargoh scowled. "Come on Teba. You know that we are right. He needs to fight to get stronger and this will help."

"I'm not arguing against that," Teba said. "All I stated is what Link is currently doing."

"There isn't anything saying he couldn't do all of it today," Bargoh stated.

Teba glared. "Pushing him to the brink of exhaustion isn't going to help. It is going to have the opposite effect that we want."

The arguing group did not notice Rhomson and Hudson approach, nor did they notice the two hid behind a rock near the group,

"A memory, two shrines, and one battle isn't going to be much," Pyle argued.

Teba clenched his fist. "Mipha has already decided that-"

"And there it is," Pyle interjected. "You are completely subjected by her."

"I'm trying to regain her trust as you two should after the stunt you pulled," Teba said.

"The hero wasn't listening to us and it escalated from there," Bargoh stated.

Teba scowled. "Link. His name is Link."

"Are we going to have this conversation again?" asked Pyle.

"Then use his name," Teba replied.

"He is the hero," Bargoh said. "The hero that will defeat the Calamity and save Princess Zelda. That is what he is. He needs to live up to that title and push himself as far as he can go to defeat that evil."

"He is a living being just like us," Teba argued. "He can't just keep pushing until he breaks."

Pyle slammed his foot down. "He has to be pushed to his limits. So that he can defy limits and defeat the Calamity."

Hudson scowled. He quietly turned toward Rhomson. "We need to do something."

Rhomson nodded. She put her hand palm out toward Hudson before leaving the hiding spot.

Bargoh nodded. "Exactly. He can't be taking it easy."

"Who is taking it easy?" asked Rhomson as she approached the group.

"When did you get here?" asked Pyle.

"Just now," Rhomson lied. "Just exploring this village a bit and saw you three standing around. Sounds like a bit of a heated discussion."

"I spotted a monster fort on the cliff before the shrine," Teba explained.

"Okay so we will take care of it tomorrow," Rhomson stated.

"Of course you would say that," Pyle spoke with a scowl.

Rhomson looked over at Pyle. "What? You want to take care of it today?"

"It will be good training for...Link," Bargoh stated.

Rhomson chuckled. "Oh you...still having trouble with that? Well Mipha is leading this group and thus she makes the call. Less you rock heads forgot, its about night fall?"

Pyle and Bargoh looked around and scoffed.

"And I think we can all agree fighting monsters in the dark is a bad idea," Rhomson said.

"We can get the jump on them," Pyle argued.

Rhomson stretched. "Nah. I think I will get some sleep instead. Link will get his fight in tomorrow so be patient."

Pyle and Bargoh stomped off.

Teba sighed. "Thank you."

"No problem. Gorons can be such a pain some times. Especially when they don't learn their lesson."

Teba blinked. "What do you mean?"

Rhomson stretched. "Well I'm going to get some sleep. Night."

She left. Hudson watched from his hiding spot. Impressive and she warned Teba without giving too much away.

Hudson blushed. "She is so great."
