Chapter one

"Darned map..." I exclaimed to myself. Apparently, I had lost my way to the building that was supposed to have this 'club' meeting in about 7 minutes. I wasn't even half way there. What made the situation worse was the fact that, yep... it was raining. Although all of this was happening, I tried not to complain, and instead, looked around the deserted road for a place to go. I was about six minutes from my home, and I wasn't about to walk back even if it was, well, only six minutes. I hoped for a miracle, for the rain to stop, or for a building to appear out of nowhere, but of course, the building wish was definitly not going to happen, just like fearies couldn't pop up out of nowhere...after all, fearies aren't even real. Atleast, that is what was believed in my world. My dirty-blonde hair was obviously soaked, and the water was rapidly running over my forehead, and sometimes into my hazel eyes. What really made this hard was the fact that I couldn't see my way around. Nonetheless, I kept 'trying' to search. I looked near an oak tree that grew about 10 feet away from the road, and saw a large crack in the dirt. I told myself that there are many 'cracks' in dirt, so I took a step forward planning to walk more, but I turned slowly back to the crack and bent down to examine it more closely. The rain didn't help much, as it made my hair slide into my eyes, so I had to keep putting it back behind my ear. I ran my slim fingers along the line and noticed that a little of the dirt had fallen into a tiny hole. I squinted and relized that this wasn't any ordinary crack in the dirt, but an opening that lead to somewhere. I pounded my fist at the crack, and more dirt fell. I did that until no more dirt would fall away and I was left with a hole in the ground, about two feet in length and width. Of course, you have always heard that curiosity killed the cat. Well, I wasn't thinking of that phrase when I should have been thinking about the club meeting. The leader of the club would kill me if I wasn't there...apparently, the curiosity I had of this strange 'hole' would most likely, well...get me in big trouble with her, or...him. Regardless of that, I just crawled through. I was much too relieved to atleast be partly sheltered from the rain, even though quite a few droplets were leaking into this 'hiding place' of mine. I closed my arms around myself, shivering, and noticed that I could see my breath. "Strange..." I said to myself. It wasn't very cold in here, and I only walked about 5 feet down. I looked around the hole some more, and noticed it started to look more like a cave. The only light I could see was the dim rainy light that shone through the entrance. I walked into dimmer light and felt my way around the ice cold walls, still shivering. Finnally, after what seemed like twenty minutes of searching (which turned out to be a mere three minutes), I found a long, but sturdy rope on the ground that I had stepped on and almost tripped over. I tugged on it, but nothing much happened. I pulled harder and I heard a few pieced of small rock chunks fall to the ground. I pulled as hard as I could (which, trust me, I could pull pretty hard) and a rock 'doorway' smashed to the ground, revealing another entrance to another part of the 'now called' cave. I entered, although hesitating, a little nervous to what I might find. I wasn't very fond of wild rats, but then wondered what rats would be doing in a cold place for a very long time, anyway. I stared hard into the distance of the very large room and saw to me what looked like a large rainbow-pad. It was on the ground, and, strangely, there were plants growing near it. I hurried over, forgetting about everything else but getting out of here. I knelt down near the rainbow-pad, and examined it more closely. "Hmm. I wonder what this is? It better not be a prank that some little science kid is playing on innocent people that are...uh...nosy." I finnally decided to step on it. Oh well, I wouldn't care if a little science kid was about to zap me up into his or her room and spray me in the face with a jug full of milk. As long as I was out of the rain and accually in some light. I woke up to find myself, surprisingly, in a place that was accually magnificintly beautiful. I noticed it was near sunset, so I sat up and noticed that I had been sleeping for maybe...oh, say a few minutes. I also noticed that...the hole was gone. No way to get back home. "Oooh..great. So it wasn't a little science kid...it was probably a da*m kidnapper or something..." but who would want to kidnap a normal sixteen year old on a...uhm...whatever that thing was. A rainbow colored pad, I guess. I stood up, and wiped the little pieces of green and brown grass off of my denim colored pants and looked around. To my surprise, I noticed that I was in an entirely different place. I knew I wasn't anywhere in the United States. I don't think the U.S. even had a castle, and it esspecially didn't have one in the state of Arkansas. I was apparently about 20 feet away from what looked like a draw bridge, and in the very distance, a castle. "Dam*it, I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW it! I knew I would get lost....AGAIN. I have the worst of luck. Well, then again I don't even know how to hold the map correctly..." I tried to sarcasm myself, but it didn't work. I didn't know what to do in this unfamiliar land, and I knew I wasn't fond of night time...I always find that the worst of creatures, like field mice or snakes, were out at that time. So, I picked up my bag that was supposed to be brought to the meeting and walked over to a place that, when entered, looked like a big ranch. My hair was still wet when I knocked on the door of the house there, and a young girl, probably around my age, maybe a year older, answered the door. "Yes miss? May I help you?" Her face went from concerned to worried and she then asked "Um, miss? Did you fall in Lake Hylia? Your hair is soaking, and your clothes look damp..." The uncomfortable feeling of the dampness of the clothing came back to me, and I responded asking "Um, yes, you should be able to help me. Ok, my first, and foremost question is: Where the hellam I?" "Why, you are at Lon Lon Ranch, of course. We have great tasting milk and-" I Quickly interupted her boasting and said "No, no I mean...where AM I? Like, what...what world? Is this Earth? Is this the United States?" She gave me a Quizical look, and I noticed that she really didn't know what I was talking about. She just responded with "Um, well miss...this is neither the...'Earth' or...or your 'United States' that you are talking about. This is Hyrule." She decided to end the awkward comversation by asking "Well, may I put your clothes up to dry for you? It must be very uncomfortable in them." She apparently read my mind. She lead me into an upstaires room, and lended me a modest dress that wasn't what I would call 'modern coolness' but, hey...It was something to wear, and it DID seem to 'fit' the atmosphere of this new place I was in. I watched as the girl with thin red, long hair exit the room, and I changed into the dress she had lended me. It felt quite comfortable, accually, regardless of the tight appearence it had when not worn. I gave a loud sigh as I looked in the mirror and noticed I looked good in a dress, but hadn't accually worn a dress, out of fear of the outcome appearence. I spun around, admiring the new 'me' image, and went outside to where the girl was standing. She was putting my clothes to hang near a fire, and the fires spark gave me a question that would probably be most important in the future. "Um, excuse me for asking but, what is your name?" The young girl responded with "Oh, darn, I forgot to aquint myself again...and daddy told me not to do that, as it brings bad buisness but...Oh well, I will just say it. Ok, my name is Malon. It's really nice to meet you." She gave me a wide smile, and I giggled slightly at the girlyishness attitude of her. "My name is Arianna. It's nice to meet you, too." I meant what I said, though. It really was nice to meet her, accounting that she had accually asked to help me, and she was drying my clothes for me, and lended me this dress. So, I guess I had a reason to be thankful. My hair was dry by now, and I was getting kind of tired, it being probably around 11 o'clock at night. I yawned, and stretched and sat up out of the chair I had noticed I didn't even know I was sitting in. I then told Malon, "Well, Malon, I am getting really tired. Would you mind letting me stay over for one night?" Surprisingly, trusting a pure stranger, she thought and said in a soft voice, "Yes, I suppose so. Try being quiet going upstairs, as my dad Talon is sleeping." "Thank you so much!" I responded, smiling. I think she was a little surprised at my overwhelmed happiness, but I really was very tired and I couldn't stand staying up another minute. I softly tip-toed up the stairs and into the upstairs room. I crawled into the bed, and went to sleep.

Chapter two

I woke, to what sounded like an instrument being played downstairs. I yawned really loudly, and rubbed my eyes. I was still tired, and I wasn't much of a morning person. I walked out of the room, pretty awake by now. I had been listening to the wonderful music that was playing downstairs, and I wanted to see if it was Malon that was playing the enchanting melody. What I saw was far from the looks of Malon. The person playing the instrument- which accually looked like an ocarina, had sandy-blonde hair, was a little taller than myself, and wore a green tunic. I couldn't see his eyes, as they were closed while playing the music. That must've meant he hadn't heard me, or saw me, and I thought that was a good thing. I was ashamed of myself when anyone saw me in a dress. I really did think I looked too girly. The man playing the wonderful tune stopped, and I noticed it was the end of that song. Both Malon, who was beside him listening to the tune, and him hadn't noticed me come out, and I was still on the top of the stairs. I was planning to creep back into the room, when I noticed that my foot hit a tiny bell that was on the wooden ground. I wondered what it was doing there, but I thought it might have fallen off some clothes, or maybe a chicken brought it in (?). Both Link and Malon stared up at me, and I stared back at them and I started to blush out of embarressment of being seen in a dress with a guy in the room. I didn't smile- I was too embarressed to. Malon finnally broke the silence by looking at the young man and saying "Link, that up there is my new found friend, Arianna. Arianna, this is Link." She waited for us to shake hands, or say hello, or something, but I didn't have the guts to say anything, but stare, and he just looked at me strangely. Malon's wide smile started to fade and she lightly jabbed Link in the stomach, trying to hide it, but apparently she wanted me to see it slightly. He stammered out "Uhm...uh, h-hello Arianna." I apparently HAD to respond, so I said "Hello...Link." I felt really, really strange being stuck in this situation, so to calm everything, down, I went accross the room that Link and Malon were in, and got my clothes that were dry by now. I quietly ran back into the room I had slept in the previous night, and slammed the door. I could still feel their hard stares on my back, even though I was in the room now. I changed back into my crimson colored tank top, and my denim jeans, and felt way more at ease with myself. I ran back out of the room, and I got my bag and headed for the door (wanting to get out of the house as fast as I could...it really feels strange to have two people staring at you, one of which is a guy, that from the least to say, was really quite cute.) While I was passing infront of Malon, she caught my arm to stop me and said, "You know, you can keep that dress...if you want." I agreed to keeping it, thanked her, grabbed the dress and went out of the door. * * * While this happened, Malon had a strange look on her face that Link had noticed when the girl- her name being Arianna- had left. "Malon...Malon, what is wrong?" Asked Link, trying to dig into her head to find the answer, but failing, as much as he wanted to find out. "Link, I was just wondering something...did you notice her ears? They looked kinda...different. Did you see?" Malon still had the strange look on her face, and Link responded saying "Well, accually, no I didn't notice...why? Whats different about them?" Link asked, still wondering what the big deal about her ears were. "Well, its just that, her ears weren't pointy, they were curved." Malon wondered if she was getting anything into Links head by giving him a clue. Link looked at her like what she said didn't matter, and he responded saying "What does that have to do with anything?" Malon, looking quite annoyed, said "Helloooo, Hyrule to Link, Hyrule to Link. Obviously, she is from a different world. There has been no curved-eared creatures like that one in all the worlds you have visited. " Link was finnally giving a look that meant he accually understood what she was trying to get cross to him, and he said quickly to Malon "Hey, I will be back, I have to track her down" "Ok, Link, b-" but before Malon could say bye, Link was already on Epona, galloping away to find Arianna. * * * "Ok, this is just not going to work out. I seriously do NOT have the feet to go on." I sighed, as I took the water bottle that I filled with Hyrule's spring water, and drunk a little out of the bottle while leaning against a tree. I was back near the draw bridge, and could accually hear the town music that was playing inside. I heard a sound far in the distance, and squinted in the direction of the noise, and surprisingly it was coming from the direction of the ranch. I didn't know whether it was someone bad, or just someone riding to the castle, all I knew was that I was frozen, waiting for the 'someone' to be identified. To my relief, it was the young man, Link, who I had seen earlier in Malon's house. He was riding towards me, and I was wondering why he would be trying to chase after me. He finnaly stopped, and while still mounted on Epona, he asked in a serious tone of voice "Excuse me for asking, and don't take this offensive or anything, but...why are your ears different?" I really wasn't expected for a question like that, but to remind myself of the shape of my ear, I felt it, and then looked at his ear and noticed that his was different- It was pointy. I decided to respond to his question that he was so puzzled about, saying, "Well, from what I know now, I come from somewhere else. A place called Earth. It isn't majorly different than here in...Hyrule, but it is a little more advanced in technol-" I decided not to finish my sentance, as I was surprised because he jumped off his horse and started to look me over. "Turn around, please." He asked, in a demanding, yet calm voice. I slowly turned around, and gave him a questioning look. "Looks like you don't look much different than any other hylian...except of course, for the ears." Link grinned flirtidly over at me, but I dismissed it as being a 'different' kind of smile, yet I knew deep in myself what it really was. "Well, in order to get all this straightned out, lets go to somewhere quiet where we can talk." Link said. I really didn't feel comfortable being in a quiet place with him. He seemed kinda..strange...no wait, strange isn't what he was..it's just unique. The thing is, he was so unique that I was uncomfortable around him. Yeh, that was it. "Um, yeh, sure Link. I guess. Where are we gunna go, though?" Link thought for about three seconds and responded with two words "Lake Hylia." He motioned me to get up on his horse with him, and I went over there to climb up, but the horse was too tall. "It's too tallll" I complained, and I tried jumping on the horse but landed with a 'thump' on the ground. He was quietly, but not-so-quietly laughing at me, and I looked at him like an idiot, and he said "Sorry, haha, I was like, just messin with ya."...he knew that I wouldn't be able to get up on the horse that way, so he just pulled me up onto her when I got near her. I didn't expect him to do that, but atleast he didn't try and make me jump up on the horse by myself. Gosh, that would be embarressing. I was in front, and he positioned my hands, without saying a word, where to put them on the reins. I had rode a horse, when I was around the age of...like, 7. I guess I tottally forgot what it felt like, but I knew I rode one before. He felt really warm, compared to me, who was in a tank top and the wind was blowing that held a cold chill in them every once in a while. We got the horse to move, and the horses gallop felt like I was in some kinda dream. My mother would have never let me own a horse, no matter how many times I asked, and now I was riding one...again. (haha.) So, we were off...to Lake Hylia.

Chapter Three

While galloping along, We both encounter a stalchild. One little stalchild. I Started panicking and said "Link, you have a sword...KILL IT!" He didn't. He just stood there, with a confused look on his face, staring at the stalchild. I wondered what he was doing, and he finnally said "It's daytime..." and I said "Yeh I noticed, the sun is out...duh." He looked at me like I didn't know anything, and that was true...I didn't know anything...about Hyrule, that is. He explained "Stalchildren only come out at nighttime. This isn't right. There is something wrong here." I sat staring, wondering what he would do. Finnally, after waiting a few minutes, he unsheathed his large sword and slashed it with one quick blow. It crumbled to dust, and all that was left were some bits of the bone and the bone that was litarally well, burnt. After what seemed like forever, we reached it. The shining, beautiful lake, with the circuler land in the middle of it. The sunset matched so well with the scene, and it made you want to just die right there, and go to heaven. Of course, we didn't die and we didn't go to heaven. That is beside the point though. Anyway, I lied down on the soft grass, with one leg bent up, and the other laying straight down. Link was just sitting up, staring at the Lake. It looked like to me like he was thinking about something. I suddenly asked him, "Link, do you have any idea why I was brought here? Because, I have no clue." I looked at him waiting for a response, and boredfully, I starting picking the grass that was near me out of the ground. He looked at my fingers, apparently the picking of the grass was getting on his nerves, so I stopped and said "Uh...sorry." He finnally responded my question saying, "To tell the truth, I don't know why you were brought here. It wasn't just out of pure coincidence though. Thats all I can really tell ya." I felt hopeless. No way to get home, and I didn't even know why I was in this foreign land. In my head, I start screaming 'Whyyyy meeeee? WHYYYYYY???!!!!' of course, I didn't say it out loud. "I thought we were coming here to accually talk...not sit around and look at the Lake forever." I said, out of the silence of the surroudings. He gave me a cold look and said "I am waiting until nighttime." I wondered what was bothering him so much. Malon explained to me the night when I was over her house that he was a lighthearted soul, with a good sense of humour, and a jokester. I wondered if I was getting really annoying to him, so out of my so called 'instincts,' I got up and started walking slowly away from him. I didn't care where, as long as I was walking away. I could fell his eyes watching me. "Hey...hey, where are you going? Arianna! Hellooo? Can you hear me??" I just kept walking. I heard him jogging toward me but I didn't turn around. He went on the other side of me, to see me face, but I turned another direction. * * * I didn't know what I did to make her act this way. Why was she doing this? After a while of trying to get her to look at me, I Just grabbed her shoulders, and twisted her around. "Ok, why are you doing that?" I looked into her Hazel eyes, and I could see it in them. I could tell that I apparently did something to make her upset, and I wondered excactly what it was. "Arianna, what did I do to make you upset? Please, tell me." She turned her head away, and I couldn't stand her being this way...I couldn't stand any girl being this way, so I just said,"Ok, well, whatever I did, I am really sorry for it." She looked back at me and said "It's just the way you've been acting ever since we met. I was in Malons house, and you just stared at me like I was some crazy monkey, or something, and then you were with me around the draw bridge, and you were just too...serious. It was like you were treating me like some criminal. Then here, you give me this mean look when you told me why we weren't gunna talk yet." I hadn't known that would hurt her so much. I tried to explain by saying "Look, I am sorry about all of that. It is just I had a bad day. First, I woke up in the morning, and my dumb feary is going around my head SCREAMING her lungs out saying for me to get up and that didn't get me off to a good start, then I ran into I don't know how many dodongoes in Zora's domain...So I had to destroy them. I had to go all the way back to town where I had to go and get this witch some ingridiants in order for her to give me something in exchange, and the ingridiants smelt nasty, like throw up or something. To top all that off, I was hit in the head with a ladder when it coincidently fell onto my head." I hoped the last one cheered her up, though. It worked, luckily. * * * I started giggling at his last remark, and told him "Well, yeh..I guess I should apologize, also. I was probably getting annoying to you sometimes. Soo, sorry." I looked into his deep blue eyes, being so tempted to kiss him, but I pulled away from his grip on my shoulders. It wasn't that I had a grudge against him. It was just that I didn't want to get 'close' to him. I have had expirience with other guys, and when you get too 'close' to them emotionally, they ussually riip your heart out, and your scarred for a very long time. I changed the subject tottally, and asked him out of the blue, "Hey, how old are you anyway?" He had to think about this one, which surprised me. I kind of giggled, for when he tried to remember this, his eye kind of squinted, making it look really funny. "Um, I am 17 years old...I think." I laughed at the last two words and said, "So, you don't excactly know your birthday?" He answered, which made things make a little more sense. "Well, you see," he started, and paused "when you do alot of time traveling, it sort of messes up your time keeping, or whatever." I guess it made sense. It might mess up a persons biological clock. Suddenly, Link and I heard a Howl, and we both knew it was night time. I told him, "So, you said you wanted to talk now, did you not?" "Yeh, I did." "Ok, well can I ask you some things first?" I asked Link. He nodded, and I asked a little too many things in one time. "Can you tell me about this place? Also, is there anything special about Hyrule? and, why is there a castle here?" Link sighed, wondering how he would put this. "Well, to answer your last question, there is a castle here because this is a kingdom ruled by a King who has a princess, named Zelda." "Coool....a Princess. I've always wanted to meet one of those!" I responded, accually quite excited. Link looked at me like I was really strange and said, "Yeh...I guess you will be able to meet her. I ussually have to run errands for her, and I got myself in that situation by becoming the Hero of Time..." I looked at him like I was confused and asked in a straight tone, "The Hero of Time?" he responded, saying quite clearly without mumbling, "Ya. Well, you see...When I was ten years old, I had to save this land from an evil man named Ganandorf. He, having the triforce of power, I having the triforce of Courage, and Zelda, having the triforce of Wisdom, led to the trouble that he started to cause. He wanted the whole triforce. He wanted to rule Hyrule. I couldn't let him do that. I had to get three stones from three different area. They were the Kokiries Emerald, the Gorons Ruby, and the Zora's Sapphire. I got them all by going through three temples, and I got back to the castle. At that time, Zelda was going out of town with her attendant, Impa, running from Ganandorf. Zelda threw me the Ocarina of Time, and then I knew I could go to the Temple of Time where I would be put into a 7 year sleep. After that time, I was able to hold the power of the Master Sword. I beat ganon at the end of my whole journey, and saved Zelda and the Kingdom. I had to become a child again, and return to my own time. Then, I had to save this area called Termina from this evil mask. Thats, uh...a whole different story. I returned to Hyrule, and I grew normally for 7 years, and became seventeen again. Then you came along..." I was surprised at the whole story and my mouth was half open. Link stared at me and started smiling, and he let out a small laugh. I had a feeling that he knew I would be kind of surprised at the whole thing. "I have heard of fairy tales and such, but, Cum'on, that is the most made up story I have ever encountered." I responded in disbelief. "No, seriously, it's true, I swear to Din it is. You can ask Zelda, you can ask anyone in the kingdom...you can ask Malon." Link said, trying to convince me of his title. I believed him this time. I always believe people who say 'Go ask so and so' because whenever you do, it's always true. I didn't bother asking people again, so I just accepted the story saying, "Well...Ok. I guess I will try and believe you." "Good." Link responded. He didn't look like he was too pleased with his life right now. I wondered what he felt and why he looked so sad. He got up off of the ground and put out his hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. I wondered what he planned to do, and he led me to the edge of the Lake. I really did not trust him at this time. He seemed like he was going to do something mischevious. "See that Zora over there?" he said, interrupting my thoughts. I squinted, looking in the direction he was pointing. I had a feeling a smile was forming over his mouth. I didn't see any Zora, as hard as I looked. I told him "I can't see one." He just said back to me, "Well, look harder." He came closer behind me, and started to rub my arms. I said again, "I still can't see it!" and he responded, in a mischevious voice, "You will just have to look closer then!" and he pushed me in the Lake. I couldn't believe it! The dumb idiot! I came up after holding my breath for a few seconds trying to swim back up, and yelled out to him, "I swear to GOD I am gunna getch you!" He just looked at me and laughed his head off. He was so proud of what he had done, and at that time I was thinking of a plan. "Just wait, I will get you for this!" Link laughed even harder, and started saying things inbetween his laughter, "haha, Ya...right..hahahHAhhHAha!" I gave a scowl, and then I swam over to the edge where Link was. At this time, he was on the ground on his back laughing his head off. His eyes were closed, which gave me the perfect time to strike back. I climbed up on the edge where he was laughing. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't hear me come up, and I whispered real softly into his ear, "I told you I would get you." Right when I said that, he stopped laughing at once and snapped his eyes open. 'SPLASH!!!' I had pulled him into the water with me, and he looked at me like I was a crazy monkey, again. He couldn't believe that I pulled him into the cold lake with me. He really didn't expect it. Now I was the one laughing, and I screamed "REEEVVVVEEEEENG!!! hehe...isn't it sweet?" After his frown, he couldn't help smiling and start laughing at what I screamed out. He came closer to me, and I started to swim away. After all, I knew he was gunna do something again. He apparently could swim faster then me. I could hear him coming up behind me, and then I was under the water. He had dunked my head under the water. After he had let go, I came up and after about two minutes of trying to catch up to him, I reached him and dunked him under. He came up again, and we both started to laugh. This was the first time he accually acted this way, and I was glad that this was the way I got wet again, instead of in the rain. We looked at each other and stopped laughing. I smiled over at him, and at this time, we were about one foot away. Link broke the stare and Asked in a nervous, quiet voice, "...Do you hear that?" He was frowning, not smiling. He really did hear something, and I couldn't hear it. "No, I don't...what is it?" I responded. He started to look worried. "We have to get out of the water, now." I wondered why he was acting this way. Dang, good way to end a sweet moment...(not). We started swimming to the edge, when I felt an energy start sneaking up behind me. I couldn't pinpoint the excact feeling, but it felt threatening. Link was ahead of me, and I was swimming as fast as I could. I didn't know what to do, all I could think was to swim. I was almost at the edge, Link climbing up it, when I felt something pull me under. "Oh my God, Hel-" but before I could say help, I was being dragged under. I had to hold my breath, and I looked down to see what was dragging me under. It was a creature of some sort. It had dark brown and green skin, and a hunched back. The teath obviously told that it was a meat eater, and only a meat eater. While I was being dragged, I could see a stick hanging out of the wall that was below the edge. I quicky grabbed it, and poked the long stick hard at the creature. I could hear its high freaquency pitched 'Yelp!' as it let go of me. I quickly swam up, out of fear. I nearly jumped up on the edge, and dragged myself up. I could hear Link run over to me, and he pulled me up off the ground. "What happened?!" he nearly yelled at me. "I...I don't know. It was like, a brown and greenish creature with a humped back. I think it has really sensitive skin, cuz I poked this stick at it, and it yelped and let go of me." I said in a stuttering voice. I held up the stick, and he looked at it and said, "Here, let me see this." He grabbed the stick from me, and looked and felt over it. I wondered what the creature was and it was like he read my mind. He responded to my thoughts (atleast I thought) by saying, "That creature that you saw, that was a caferirana. They are very rare, but I have heard from fishermen, and onlookers that there have been more popping up out of nowhere. I am trying to figure out why..." I didn't really know what to say to him, except, "Well, will everyone be alright?"

"I'm not sure...Stalchildren coming out in daytime, Dodongoes in Zora's domain, then more caferirana's popping up in the Lake. Apparently there are more monsters coming out of nowhere, and in places where they don't belong." Link said, staring at the stick for no reason at all. I started to feel even more hopeless. There were more monsters, which made a bigger chance of me dying, I had no way to get home, and I hardly had any friends here. Link was hardly considered a friend. I hardly even knew the guy. I brang myself to sit down on the ground, and watched Link sit down also, still looking at the stick, and I saw in his eyes that he was thinking. What he was thinking about, I didn't know. It gave me a chance to think also, but all I could think about was home. I remembered the memories with my mother and father, and longed for them to say 'Goodnight' and 'I love you', but I knew I wouldn't get that again. Atleast, that is what my doubtful side said. My hopeful side was keeping quiet, which brang me to tears. I couldn't help but not cry. I got homesick. I turned around, worrying that Link would see me crying and put my head in my hands. I could feel my shoulders shaking as I sobbed, and all I could think about was home. Everything was hopeless, atleast, that is what I thought at the time. Something startled me by putting their hands on my shoulders behind me. I noticed it was Link, and I turned around. He could see the tears on my face, and he asked, "Hey...what's wrong?" It took me awhile to answer, but I finnally did and said, "My family...I miss them. There is no way to get home, and I am just worried about everything." I sobbed through the confession, and Link turned me around and put my face on his shoulder. He held me close to him, and let me cry. "It's going to be ok. Trust me. You were brought here for some reason. I am sure we will be able to get you back..." I started to cry harder, and he held me closer. I couldn't stand being this way, but everything to me was so hopeless. I was really close to my parents, and I didn't want everything to end with them. I Loved them.
