The Legend of Zelda: Timeless (old)

Chapter 33

"Well, that seemed to go rather well," Sarth said to them as people were slowly leaving the castle. Zelda nodded,

"Yes," She smiled at Link before turning and walking from the room. She heard his footsteps behind him.

Once out of the public eye, Zelda relaxed. Link put his arm around her, without thought.

They were quiet the entire way to Link's room. Words weren't necessary,

"I have something I need to do," Link said as they approached his door. Zelda looked up at him, slightly confused. The ball had lasted until well into the night. Where did he have to go this late?

"Um, ok," she said quietly. Her curiosity must have shown in her face,

"Sarth asked me to help clean up the ballroom," he explained quickly. She nodded. Link kissed her forehead, "I love you," He gave her hand a squeeze before turning and walking back in the direction they had came,

"I love you too," She tried to speak as loud as she could, but it came out as a whisper. She sighed and opened the door.

She took a shower and put on her night gown before slipping in to bed. It felt strange without Link there, but the day had worn her out too much to think very much about it. She fell into a dreamless sleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

"Well done, my son. It seems you have not failed me this time," Dayfos said, back facing him. Dark Link smiled at the praise, "Though I do not understand how his touch burns you," he held up a small strand of brunnette hair, " I do know someone who will," he walked à few steps forward and pressed à black button.

Immediatly, the colossal doors behind them creeped open,

"You called for me, Master?" came à gravely voice from behind them,

"I require your assistance, Hendrix," he said, turning towards them. Dark Link looked back at the approaching figure.

The man was small, and bent over a black, spiked cane. His dark grey hair was very messy. His red eyes burned. He smiled at Dark Link, and he saw that his teeth were pointed slightly,

"Hello, boy," he turned back to the dark lord, "What is it that you need, Master?" Dayfos held out the small hair, and immediatly Hendrix recognized it,

"The hair of the princess. I assume you want to use it?"

"Of course. I need it done now. They are gathering backup," He handed him the strand, before looking over at Dark Link, "You shall get your reward. Just be warned, if you ever slip up, I will force you to watch her suffer, before I kill her. Am I understood?" Dark Link gulped and nodded,

"Yes, Master,"
