Sub-chapter One - Surprises and Parties

Times were peaceful in Hyrule. after his adventures, Link was glad to have some time off. it had been a month since Knil, Zak, and Aloc left for Jesterpool, and though Link missed them, he was glad to have some time with his other friends. Since Knil showed up, Link almost never spent time with Malon, Romani, Cremia, Ruto (he could live without that though), and many other friends he had met on his journeys. So, there were five wizards left. It had been a month and none had shown themselves. Link wasn't going complain though. As much as he loved a good fight, he also loved peace. If Hyrule was happy then he was happy.He was the hero of Hyrule, and though he received no gratitude, and nobody knew of his feats of heroism.
Link sat outside the log tunnel that would lead into the Kokiri Forest. It was the closest he could get to going inside the forest. Nobody knew of what occurred a month ago. Mido didn't remember anything, and as far as the children were concerned it was just the work of a Goron who was ticked off, a.k.a. Link with his Goron Mask. Link thought it was a good thing he was kicked out of the forest. He wasn't Kokiri, why should he have to be treated like one, as much as Saria wanted him to stay a child forever like her, he just couldn't.
"Are you Link?"
Link shot out of his trance. "Who are you?" he asked
"I asked you first," the stranger replied. He wore a skin-tight black outfit, with a ski mask covering his face.
"Okay, I am Link, who are you?"
"I am the one whose job it is to crush." He drew a Gerudo sword.
Link jumped up and drew his Goddess Sword, and the shield Zelda gave him. The man began swinging his sword like mad, he was even faster than Zak was. Link couldn't follow his moves, his arm was just a blur. He used his shield and bent backwards.
"DIN'S FIRE!" Link yelled. His sword erupted in flames. He swung horizontally, the stranger jumped backwards, in fear of being burned.
Link pointed the flame at the stranger and began to concentrate. The flame extended forward, sending the stranger flying, burning away parts of his clothes. Link came running towards where he should have landed but he had already disappeared. He looked around. The man was nowhere to be seen.
"Who was that guy? Better not take any chances by sticking around." He sheathed his sword and pulled out his necklace.
"My room," he said and disappeared.

Link heard a knock on the door as he appeared in his room.
"Link, are you here?" Zelda said walking in.
"Yeah, I'm here," he replied sitting in his favorite chair.
"Link my father wants you to come to his party tonight. The ambassador from Jesterpool is here again," she said. "Maybe he knows Zak, he might be able to tell us if they got there safe."
She was right. Link tried to contact the three with his necklace but it didn't work. Either they were out of range or their gems were destroyed.
"Okay, is it at the usual time?"
Zelda nodded and left the room.
Link looked at himself in the mirror. The king had told him not to dress incredibly fancy for these parties. So he dressed in what he wore normally, but nicer. In this case he wore a green tunic and green pants. Of course his hat never left his head when he was awake or dry. The king insisted he wear his sword and shield. he wanted to be positive that Zelda would be safe at all times, and he couldn't be sure who would show up at his parties.

So Link went to the party. Everyone was dressed in the finest of clothing; silk, jewels, and diamonds. He felt out of place wearing a normal tunic and sword, but he didn't want to disappoint the king, he had given him a home and a good paying job, Link had a large chest full of silver rupees.
"Hello Link," the king said as he approached him, "I want you to meet the ambassador."
The ambassador was a tall man, his hair was white and short, cut neatly. His eyes were green and he wore a long green cloak with very fancy designs sewn on the end of the sleeves, down the middle, and along the bottom.
"Hello sir, I'm Link," he said holding out his hands.
"Why does he not bow to me?" the ambassador asked the king.
"Oh, sorry," Link said bowing.
"I apologize as well, Link is not familiar with your customs. he is more of a warrior than a banquet host," the king said.
Link listened to the king and the ambassador talk politics for a while. He found out his name was Zagato. Most of it just bored Link, the rest of it he didn't understand. When they were finally finished, Link spoke up.
"Excuse me sir, I was wondering if you knew some friends of mine. They headed to Jesterpool from here about a month ago. I want to know if they arrived safely."
The ambassador gave Link a cold stare. "I don't know any of the commoners of Jesterpool, I know only the high officials, King Gisborn, and Prince Zak."
Link gasped. "Did you say Prince Zak, does he have a scar on his face and is missing an arm?"
The ambassador grabbed Link's arm. "Are you the one responsible for the prince's missing arm?" He had a pretty strong hold.
"No, I'm not, and I would let go of me if I were you. I just want to know if he and the two who were with him arrived safely."
The ambassador let go. "Yes he arrived safely, but there was only the one bodyguard he left with with him."
"So only Aloc, not another person who looks like me?" Link asked. Zagato nodded.
"Hey, Zak is the prince, since when?"

The ambassador and the king left the room to see the dining hall. Link walked around. Many people gave him stares when they saw his sword on his back, but Link just shrugged it off. They would thank him if trouble showed up.
"Hey Link," Zelda said grabbing Link's arm.
"Oh hi Zelda," he replied. "I talked to the ambassador, he said that Zak, sorry, Prince Zak, and Aloc had made it there safely, but he said he never saw them with Knil."
Zelda's expression changed from a look of happiness, to a look of concern. "I'm sure he's fine," she said. "He probably decided to turn around and head home as soon as he got there, and the journey takes three weeks, so he should be here in a few weeks."
Zelda was wrong, if he was on his way back, he would have been traveling for a week, that would be enough to put him in range to contact via the gems. Link didn't say anything though, he didn't want to scare Zelda. All he could do was hope it was not the doing of any of the remaining wizards. Then he would have to get into another tough fight, and he was enjoying the peace.
Link continued to walk around, Zelda next to him. A few people said hi to Zelda, not to Link though. He was anybody to them. One man said hello to Link though. He stopped him in the middle of the room.
"Hello Link, I understand you're the princess's bodyguard. How exciting."
Link had a bad feeling around this man, it was the same feeling he got from Zagato. This man was young. he wore a robe similar to agate's but red and less fancy.
"Yeah, I'm her bodyguard. who are you?" he responded.
"I'm just a guard like you, from Jesterpool, very lovely land, have you been there?" He was definitely too friendly.
"No, but I know people from there."
The man left Link alone to talk with another person. Link and Zelda continued to walk through the crowded room. Zelda got more hellos from people, one boy even gave her a gift, a small box in pink ribbon. She thanked him and continued along.
"Don't worry Link, you're still the guy for me," she said, causing Link to blush.
Soon the big banquet began. the servants brought out dishes and dishes of food. Link and Zelda sat at the top of the table next to the king. The ambassador sat across from them. On the other side of Link sat a very strange old man. He wore normal clothes, a blue shirt and brown pants, but his beard extended down to his waist, and he had no hair on his head.
"Greetings youngster, how are you?" he said in a very annoying voice.
"I'm fine, how are you, enjoying yourself?" Link replied, very politely. he though it was very important to respect everyone, especially elderly.
"Oh yes, do you live here in the castle?" he asked.
"Yes I do, I'm a bodyguard," Link said, proud of his position. The old man talked to Link throughout the entire meal. Link actually liked the man's company.
After the big banquet, the castle began to empty. Everyone was sluggish leaving, the king had insisted they eat every bite of the five-course meal. They slowly walked to their horses, all except Link. He was running up the stairs to his room. He could have eaten a ten-course meal and not been slowed down. He reached his room and removed his sword and shield. He threw his boots to the side and undid his belt. Then he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes.
Twenty minutes later Zelda came in wearing her nightgown, it was nearing midnight in Hyrule.
"Hi Link," she said. "Did you have fun tonight?" she asked.
Link sat up. "I never really have fun at those things. I just love all the free food I get," he said.
Zelda smiled. "So, what do you ... uh trouble."
Link noticed his gem sitting on the table across the room. It was glowing orange, then red, then purple, then blue.
"The Spirit, Fire, Shadow and Water Temples are all in trouble. what do I do? I can't be in all four temples at the same time."

Sub-chapter Two - Battle in the Living Graveyard

Link appeared in the graveyard. The other temples had harsher conditions, whether they be heat, sand storms or being underwater. Link decided it would be faster this way. The entrance to the shadow was sealed up. It was covered by a sticky web. One rock was already stuck onto the top of the web. Gohma was moving another one.
"Gohma!" Link said. He charged at the spider like creature. "I don't know how you came back but I'm not letting you stay for long." He slashed at Gohma's eye. It screamed in pain, then shot a sticky web at Link.
"Din's fire," he cried as the flame around his sword appeared. It burned up the web before it hit Link. Link pointed the sword at the web sealing the Shadow Temple. The flame expanded, burning the web. The single rock stuck to the web fell right on Gohma, pinning him to the ground. Link charged at it and leapt into the air. He stabbed the flaming blade into Gohma's eyes, charring its brain.
"Okay, he's dead. Now on to the Spirit Temple." Link pulled out his stone, but it was still flashing purple. "Okay so, I'm not done here. What else is wrong, holy crap." Link jumped to the right to avoid the giant sword that swung at him.
"Odolwa, what the, yipes." Link back-flipped this time, avoiding the fire being thrown at him. "King Dodongo, this is the worst trip down memory lane ever."
King Dodongo began charging another fire blast. Link pulled out a bomb and threw it into his mouth. It exploded and King Dodongo fell to the ground. Odolwa began to slash at Link. Link ran to King Dodongo and leaped on his head. As it stood up Odolwa swung at Link, who jumped down while King Dodongo had his head sliced in half.
"Nayru's love," Link said. The sword began to glow blue. Then Link's body began glowing as well. Odolwa swung at Link, but Link didn't move. The sword went right through him like he was a ghost.
"Your sword can't cut me, but my sword can take care of you." Link jumped up and slashed Odolwa in half.
"That was fun, but I got to go," Link said.
"Not so fast Link."
Link turned around.
"You still have a fight to finish here."
Link gasped. There was the man who had stopped Link in the middle of the banquet, the guard from Jesterpool.
"Greetings Link, my name Daizu, I am the wizard of death," he said in the same friendly voice.
"Wizard of death huh, sounds real heartwarming. from what I've seen you can revive the dead. Nice trick, but once you kill them once, it gets easier the second time around."
Link charged at the wizard. "Let's see if you can revive yourself," he cried.
"Myself, no, but him yes."
A large bony hand shot out of the ground, grabbing Link and squeezing tight.
"Damn it. not this guy."
The stalchild king appeared.
"So Link, how can you kill him now, there isn't a stone keeping him alive that you can destroy, now is there?" Daizu said.
Link screamed in pain, the monster was crushing him.
"Leave him alone," a high voice cried. A girl came running out of the Shadow Temple, kicking Daizu in the stomach. She then pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the chest. Blood began pouring out, as Daizu fell to the floor. The stalchild king disintegrated, and Link fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" The girl came running over. She had purple hair, brown eyes, and was about as tall as Link was. She wore a tight pink shirt, and baggy purple pants, with tall yellow boots going up to her knees. She was a very pretty young girl, though Link didn't realize it.
"I think my arm is broken," Link said, "but I don't have time to worry about it now, I need to get to the other temples." Link stood up and pulled out his gem.
"Wait, let me help you. I'm a very strong girl, if you have to take on any more giants I can do it no sweat."
Link looked at the girl. She didn't look like a warrior to him, but he was a little short handed at the moment.
"Okay, fine, what's your name?" he asked.
"Call me Ciel."

Sub-chapter Three - The Influence of Link

Link and Ciel appeared outside the Spirit Temple. There was a man sitting on the steps leading inside.
"That's the old man," Link said. He walked over and stood in front of him.
"Link, I am sorry, I was supposed to trick you into revealing a weakness at the banquet."
Link wasn't surprised.
"But, I suppose you did to me what you also did to Knil. You changed me. I used to believe that Ganondorf was the good guy, fighting to make Hyrule a better place. That's not true though. You are the one who's fighting to make Hyrule better. Link, I'm not going to do anything to this temple. I no longer wish to revive Ganondorf. I will only help you. Starting with your arm."
The old man stood up and walked over to Link. He placed his hand on Link's arm. It began to glow and Link couldn't feel any more pain.
"Thank you. Now if you excuse us, we had better be going. Two more temples to save."

Link and Ciel appeared in the store at Goron City. Without paying, asking, or even looking at the clerk, he grabbed two heat resistant goron tunics, threw one on himself, the other to Ciel, and transported away. The tunics didn't fit, they just let them hang loosely past their legs. When they appeared in the crater, there was a man near the entrance to the temple.
"Ciel, you can fight, right?" Link asked.
"Yeah, back home, I was the toughest girl my age, no one could beat me, not even the boys," she said confidently.
"Better than nothing," Link replied.
"Okay, I don't care what powers you have, I don't care about your name, you can't beat me, so let's give up okay," Link said walking towards the man, his Goddess Sword was in hand, ready to use one of the powers of Farore's Wind. He would happily use the banishment attack, and seal this guy inside the dungeon, just as he did with Dark Link.
The man was had a small wooden table in front of him. Link saw some various vials filled with different colored liquids. The man turned around.
"You're the guy who attacked me in Hyrule Field," Link cried out. "I kicked your butt before, what makes you think I can't do it again?"
The man turned around and continued working. Link pointed his sword at him. "Okay, Din's F ... what?"
The man spun around and threw a vial full of green liquid at Link. It hit the Goddess Sword and broke, splashing the liquid across the blade. The sword began to glow green.
"What did you do to my sword?" Link said. Three objects fell from the base of the blade. Link picked them up. "Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's Love. He separated the stones from the sword."
The man drew his Gerudo sword again. "Let's see who kicks whose butt now."
He charged at Link and Ciel.
"Ciel, get back," Link said, also charging. They slashed their swords, then continued to run past each other. They stopped with their backs facing each other. The man had a small cut in his arm, but no blood on his sword. Link had blood on his sword, but his body was fine.
"What?" Link said as the top half of his blade fell to the floor. "You sliced the gilded sword in half."
The man turned around. "I am the wizard of strength and potions. you can never defeat me without a weapon. HA HA HA HA (evil laughter, ya know) HA HA HA HA-OOF!"
Link kicked the wizard in the stomach.
"What were you saying about weapons? Sorry I have a small attention span," Link said smirking.
The man reached into a small bag at his side and pulled out another vial, this one was corked.
"Take this." He threw the vial at Link's face. It exploded in a flash.
Link fell to the ground. "My eyes, I can't see."
The wizard began to laugh at Link again. "What now, how can you fight now, come on smart guy." He kicked Link in the ribs. Then he kicked him in the face. "What a sight, the great Link, lying helpless on the ground." He began stomping on Link's back. "HA HA, this is quite fun, wouldn't you say?" he said happily.
"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ciel charged at him, she had a dagger in her right hand. She leapt into the air and slashed at his face, cutting open his black mask and leaving a large gash on his left cheek.
"Why you little..." The wizard grabbed Ciel's neck.
"Let's see how long you can survive in hot lava." He chucked her over the edge. She screamed as she fell.
"NO!" Link cried, starting to rise, though not able to get past his hands and knees. "You monster." He moved his left hand around. "Found them." He continued to rise, still unable to see.
"Still want to fight, eh? Fine." The wizard charged at Link, sword drawn.
"DIN'S FIRE!" Link cried. The dome appeared and sent them flying back. Link fell backwards.
"That does it for me. I have no energy left. I can't move. That blow to my ribs must have inflicted more damage than I thought. Sorry Zelda, sorry Knil, sorry Ciel, sorry Hyrule. I let you down."
Link blacked out.

Sub-chapter Four - The Fierce Deity

Link lay on the ground. He was unconscious. The wizard of strength and potions walked towards him.
"Now, you're finished. I will kill you and revive Ganondorf. Goodbye Link, what now?"
Link's body began to glow. Link disappeared, instead, there was the mightiest warrior to ever wield a sword. A warrior who had never lost a battle, a warrior who needs no introduction (cause you know he is from the title). Fierce Deity Link stood there, sword in hand.
"So, I see this mask doesn't want me to lose to you. I guess he doesn't like you," Link said.
"Where did Link go, who are you?" the wizard said shocked. He began stepping backwards, in fear of the large sword in Link's hand.
"Oh no you don't!" Link swung his sword, sending a blast of magic at the wizard. It hit him in the chest, sending him flying over the ledge, into the lava.
"Finally, it's over, but Ciel gave her life to help me. Poor girl, I'll have to give her a funeral later," Link said. "Wait."
A hand shot up from the ledge.
"Ciel!" Link ran over and grabbed her hand pulling her up.
"Uh, what happened to you, um, Link is your name right?" she said.
"Yeah, and don't worry, I'm just wearing a magic mask," he replied. "But we shouldn't wait around, I have one more temple to save before I can rest. This one won't be easy though. It's under Lake Hylia, and I'll need to use a whole other mask to get there, so you won't be able to help this time."

Link appeared atop the island in Lake Hylia. He had dropped Ciel off at Kakariko. He removed his Fierce Deity Mask.
"Ah, without that mask I feel those injuries again," he said grabbing his side. "Better hurry."
He pulled out his Zora Mask and placed it on his face. In a flash and a scream Link disappeared and Mikau appeared. He swung his arms around a bit. He hadn't used this mask for a while.
"Here goes," he said jumping into the water.
"Ow!" he cried. "AH! The lake is frozen!" he cried. He stood up and ran around the island. "It's all frozen," he said. "Damn, I'm too late, what do I do now?"
Link ran towards the mainland. A gust of freezing cold wind blasted him from the sky.
"What the hell?" he said. The wind became stronger, blowing Link back a few feet.
"Hello Link," a voice said, "It's nice to see you again, I was hoping we would get to chat a bit more." Zagato, the ambassador from Jesterpool flew down from the sky. the sun was beginning to rise over the lake.
"So. Nobody seems to be who they really are, the guard was an evil wizard, the old man was an evil wizard, the guy who tried to kill me was an evil wizard," Link began, "Please note that I'm saying they were evil wizards." Link smiled. humorous pre-battle jokes were his specialty.
"That's funny Link, I hope your sense of humor will keep you warm when I freeze you in ice."
Zagato held up his hands and shot a blast of icy wind at Link. Link moved to the right, then charged at the wizard. He flung his fins at Zagato. They smacked him in the face and the stomach, sending him flying to the ground.
"Not so tough when you're on your butt, huh," Link said catching his fins and running at Zagato. He swung his fist at him, but Zagato ducked, then thrust his hand upward, grabbing Link's face. He kicked Link, sending him flying separating Link and Mikau. Link landed on the ice as he screamed from the pain of his broken ribs. The wizard snapped the Zora Mask in half and threw the two halves behind him. Link stood up with much discomfort. He pulled out his bag containing his masks.
"I don't think so," Zagato yelled conjuring another gust of wind. He blew Link's bag to the other side of the lake.
"Damn it all."
Link pulled out what was left of his gilded sword and his shield.
"Who's not tough now Link?" Zagato said.
Link didn't respond. He needed to save his energy for fighting. He was given a second chance by the Fierce Deity Mask, and who wouldn't waste it?
Zagato rose in the air and flew directly at Link.
Link held up his shield. Zagato held up his hand and blew Link away. He landed twenty feet away on the ice.
"AAHH!" he cried as another rib broke. He stood up. "Great, my shield landed over there," he said staring at the shield ten feet from him. Walking over there would be difficult. "I hate my ribs," Link said moving his feet.
Another gust of icy wind came at Link, blowing him another twenty feet, into the tree on the island.
"AAAAH!" he cried, this time breaking his right arm.
"So Link, are you feeling the pain?" Zagato asked. sending another blast at Link. It blew Link, pushing him against the tree. The tree broke in half, and Link was sent flying again. He smashed into the wall surrounding the frozen lake, then slid down and landed next to the gossip stone.
"Yes," he said under his breath.

Sub-chapter Five - Lullaby for the Wizards

Link landed next to the gossip stones.
"Yes he said."
Zagato came flying down, landing five feet from Link.
"So Link, any last words, I've grown bored of you."
Link stood up. "No words, just a song. I made a promise I would play this one more time before I died," he said pulling out the fairy ocarina.
Zagato smiled. "Fine, with that ocarina you can't warp anyway, so go head, play to your heart's content."
Link put the ocarina to his lips.
The notes of Zelda's Lullaby filled Lake Hylia. Link, when he was done, he put dropped his ocarina, and lifted his left hand towards the gossip stone. A fairy came out. The second Link touched the fairy it began to circle his body, easing his pain, restoring his energy, and making his injuries less severe.
"Thanks for letting me play that song. it really helped."
Link ran at Zagato and punched him in the gut. Both grunted, Zagato from the punch, Link from his broken ribs. The fairy's magic wasn't powerful enough to fix broken bones, but it did ease the pain and restore his energy. Link squatted down and swung his leg around, tripping Zagato. As the evil wizard fell, Link sprang up, smashing his fist into Zagato's chin, sending him flying backwards.
"I love the power of music," Link said. He began walking towards his shield. He picked it up and continued to walk towards his bag full of masks and equipment.
Zagato stood up. "Okay, no more fooling around," he said as Link picked up his bag.
"Okay, you stupid wizards have messed with the weather, you've tried to burn the forest, you've put my friends through a living hell, you've tried to kill me, brought back some bad memories, broke my ribs, and broke my Zora Mask. I'm really ticked off and you're the closest thing I can take my anger out on, so get ready."
Link charged at Zagato, ready to kill him without remorse.
Link swung at him with what was left of his sword, cutting a gash into his chest. Then he slammed his shield into his face, knocking two teeth out of his mouth. The gilded sword went behind Link, then spun around, putting a cut into Zagato's stomach.
"Now, Din's Fire!"
The flaming sphere sent Zagato flying back.
Link pulled out his bow. "Die!" he cried and shot an arrow at Zagato. It hit his chest and went straight through him. That wasn't all though, he ran at the evil wizard and leaped into the air, he came down and stabbed the gilded sword into his head.
"It appears you have won Link," Zagato whispered, "but I won't go without a fight." Zagato's body glowed.
"AAAHHH!" Link screamed. Zagato was using his last bit of energy to electrocute Link with his magic. As he finally died, Zagato's attack died. Link let go of his sword. He took three steps backwards.
"Okay, that's it for wizard number six." He pulled out his teleporting gem. "Time to go..."
Link fell to the ground. That last attack was too much.

Ciel ran as fast as she could through Hyrule Field. She wanted to help Link fight, but he insisted on leaving her in Kakariko. But Ciel didn't want to stay and do nothing, she wanted to help Link. She didn't know why but Link was different than most people, she felt safe and happy when she was with him. Since she had arrived in Hyrule, nobody gave her a chance, nobody wanted to be her friend. Link didn't shun her out though. he gave her a chance.
She climbed the ladder and ran across the wall into Lake Hylia. She saw Link, he was in pain, electricity surging through his body.
"Oh no," she said.
Link stepped backwards, then fell to the ground.
"Link." She ran over and knelt down next to him, holding his head. "He's unconscious. He transformed back to normal too. Hey, he teleported with that thing didn't he," she said picking up the gem in his hand. Will it work for me though, do I need to pick a specific place. Where would Link's home be? Where have I seen his clothes before? Oh, in that forest, when I went into that forest I saw those kids wearing clothes like Link's but they kicked me out. Before I left they called it the Kokiri Forest thing. Well it's still worth a shot.
"Here goes, the Kokiri Forest," she said clutching the gem. They disappeared.

Sub-chapter Six - Return to the Forest

Ciel and Link appeared in the center of the Kokiri Forest. Ciel looked around.
"It's that intruder from the other day, and Link too," a boy yelled.
All the Kokiri came running out of their houses and gathered around Link and Ciel.
"Please, Link is hurt, I thought this was his home, can't you please help him?" Ciel said.
All the Kokiri began whispering to each other. No-one knew what to do.
"Bring him into my house," a girl with green hair said.

Ciel lay Link on the bed in Saria's house.
"So, how did Link get hurt?" Saria asked.
"He was in a fight," Ciel responded. "He did win though."
"How do you know Link?"
"Well, I just met him today, he was in trouble so I helped him. I don't know why, but I feel like Link and I were supposed to meet today. Like it was destiny, he just makes me feel safe."
"Yeah, I feel the same way."
"So, is this Link's home?"
"He used to live in the forest, but was kicked out a while ago. He brought too much trouble to the forest, so it had to be done. I don't know where he lives now."
Saria left the house and left Ciel with Link. He was still out cold. Soon Ciel left the house too. She wanted to look around a bit. She saw a large pile of broken wood lying next to a tree. She walked over to it and looked around the rubble. There wasn't much of anything, some broken furniture, some old green clothes, a small wooden shield.
"I wonder who used to live here?" she asked herself. "Was it Link?"

Link's eyes opened. He sat up. His tunic was torn and bloody.
"Oh yeah, I was fighting, where am I now?" he asked himself. "Is this Saria's house? Why am I here?" He jumped out of the bed. "Not the best idea," he said feeling the pain of his broken ribs. He slowly walked out of Saria's house and into the forest. It had been a while since he was here and not being trying to pummel someone. A few Kokiri walked by, they whispered to eachother than ran off.
Link looked around a bit. "Things seem pretty much the same here, I didn't get a good look last time I was here. I didn't get to see my old house either." He began walking towards his tree house.
"Is that Ciel?" He began picking up the pace. "HEY!" he called out. Ciel turned around.
"Link!" She ran to him and jumped into his arms, giving him a hug.
"Hey, um...." Link wasn't sure what was happening. He just met this girl and she was already treating him like Zelda did. "Uh, I kind of need to breathe," Link said.
Ciel let go. "Sorry, I'm just glad you're okay," she said blushing. Are all girls like this? Link thought, Well, lets see, Zelda, Malon, Ruto, Romani, Saria, now Ciel, yep all girls are like this.
"So how did we get here?" Link asked.
Ciel reached into her pocket and pulled the teleportation gem. "You were holding this, I came here once before. I recognized your clothes as the same so I figured you lived here."
Link smiled. She was pretty smart. "Well, I used to live here, but..."
Ciel interrupted him. "You were kicked out, Saria told me. So, where do you live now?"
"I live at Hyrule Castle," he responded.
"LINK!" a familiar voice cried. Link turned around. It was Mido and all the other Kokiri children.
"What do you want Mido?" Link replied.
"Saria told us what happened."
Link was stumped.
"When that mad Goron attacked. You heard something going on, rushed in and told Saria to get everyone to safety. Then when I was trapped in my house you fought off the Goron and saved me and the rest of the Kokiri."
Link didn't remember it happening like that. He remembered Zak kicking the crap out of the parasitic wizard.
"To thank you, we wanted to welcome you back into the forest. Please follow me."
Link shrugged and followed him.

Mido led Link to the cliff where the entrance to the Lost Woods was. But now a large house stood near the edge off the cliff. It was two stories high and quite large.
"This house is our way to say thanks."
Link was shocked. He never thought he would be welcomed back into the Kokiri Forest, and never in a million years with a new house.
He and Ciel ran inside. The house consisted of three rooms. The first floor had two of them, a kitchen and a living room. Both had basic necessities. The second floor was the bedroom. Link opened the dressing table. It was fully stocked with green tunics and caps.
"Wow, I am too damn predictable."
When they left the Kokiri were gone.
"Well, at least they came at all," Link said. "Yaw know, I can't really live here. I have a job at the castle. So do you have a place to stay?" he asked Ciel.
Ciel smiled. "No."
Link smiled back. "Why don't you stay here and watch the place for me. I'll drop by and see you every once in a while. Okay."
Ciel hugged him again. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU."

Link put on a fresh tunic and cap, then teleported to the castle. He appeared in his room. Zelda was waiting for him.
"Link, where have you been, it's almost seven in the morning," she asked tapping her foot.
"Sorry, I got a little sidetracked," Link said, falling on his bed. "Ow," he said silently.
"Are you hurt?" Zelda asked running over.
Link closed his eyes. "It's my ribs, I think they're broken, don't worry about it though ... ow!" he said as Zelda slapped him.
"Link you can't just shrug off serious injuries like that, you could be really be hurt. You have to see the castle doctor."
Link sat up. "It's early, I don't want to bother him, he's probably still sleeping," he said. Zelda sighed and left the room. Link lay back down. "Wow, this bed feels really good right now," he said as he began to drift off to sleep.
About an hour later he woke up to the castle doctor staring at his ribs.
"Hey doc, how'd you know about my ribs?" he said.
"The princess came to me personally and told me you needed medical attention. I came as soon as possible," the doctor said.
Link smiled. That's Zelda, he thought.
Twenty minutes later the doctor left. Link's chest was bandaged as well as some other cuts and bruises. Zelda came in again.
"How do you feel?" she asked.
"I felt better an hour ago," he said.
"Why's that?"
"I hate wearing bandages, plus you and Impa won't let me leave the castle for a month now."
"Link, you could have been killed and you're worried about not be able to go out and try to get killed again."
"I don't like almost dying, it comes with the job. I never chose to be the hero, I was just dragged into it all."
Zelda sighed. "I'm sorry about that. I was the one who dragged you into this. I sent you to collect the spiritual stones. If I hadn't done that, you would still be living in the forest and not have any problems." She looked down.
Link hopped off the bed. He walked over to Zelda and put his arm over her shoulder. "Hey, it isn't your fault. If it's anyone's fault, it's the Great Deku Tree's fault. Hell, it's my fault for living through those adventures. It wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't so stubborn about living," he said letting out a chuckle.
Zelda hugged him. If anyone could cheer her up it was Link. (Why him talking about his death cheers her up, I don't know. But the same thing works on my sisters ... I think it's time to move out.) She let go of him.
"I have to go now, you stay here and get some sleep."
Zelda left the room and Link went back to sleep, and wow did it feel great to sleep again. That hour before seemed to go by too fast. This was a much more peaceful sleep. He had amazing dreams too. Dreams of peace in Hyrule, dreams of Zelda, Knil, Zak, Aloc, and his new friend Ciel. This was definitely the best sleep he had had in long time.
