Chapter Two

They had been on the King of Red Lions for an hour or so; Link and Tetra still hadn't awoken. Mezu looked to the head carved at the front of the boat.

"Hey Jezu… Do you not think that's a little peculiar? I feel a bit of magic in this boat…" she spoke, looking to her younger sister.

"Magic in a boat? That's funny, Mezu… But… You're right… I feel it, too…" Jezu replied, looking at the face. "Maybe I can juice it up!"

She put her glowing blue hand in between the two yellow horns, letting her glittering magic go into the head. After about half a minute, she was headbutted back into the boat by the head moving.

"What in the world?! I'm alive?!" the King of Red Lions asked loudly, looking around, baffled.

"You are! I bought you back!" Jezu answered, rubbing her head as she flew back up to its face.

"Why, thank you, Little Fairy… But I'm not supposed to be alive…" the King of Red Lions mumbled, but grinned. "So… Where are we heading?"

"To the Black Haven across the Great Sea, a great evil has been causing trouble there and only the Hero of Winds and the Princess of Hyrule can defeat it!" Mezu explained.

"The Black Haven? Isn't that the black forest that has all the dark plants? Even in the daylight?" the boat asked, blinking.

"Yes, that's the place! There's only one light inside that forest…" Mezu began.

"The Light Sword…" Jezu finished. "Link cannot defeat Gornon with just a mere Hero's Sword!"

"Link?! Where is the boy?! And Tetra! Where are they?!" the King of Red Lions asked worriedly.

"Not to worry! They're asleep back here!" Mezu answered, chuckling as she saw what position the two teens had fallen asleep in.

"All right, we're here!" Jezu announced as a darkened land appeared in the distance. "That's Black Haven… The entrance to a land with no name…"

As they drew nearer, a glow could be seen from the shore. It was an orange light that moved around in circles. Jezu slapped her forehead when she saw it.

"Oh Lord… Hey Mezu! That crazy Messenger Fairy is waiting for you again!"

Mezu nearly fell over, but hung onto the steer so she wouldn't do so.

Once they got to the shore, the Messenger Fairy flew to Mezu and handed her a piece of paper. Mezu snatched it away and read it.

"Hey Jezu… We've got a problem…"

Mezu flew up to Jezu and the King of Red Lions, reading out loud.

"'I know you've brought the Hero of Winds, you naughty, naughty fairies… If you think that the same person who killed my father will get away with doing the same to me, think again…' It's from…"

"From who?" the King of Red Lions asked.

"… G-Gornon…"

Jezu and the boat looked at each other with wide eyes.

"How does he know?!"

"Who cares how he knows?! We need Link to find the sword that will get rid of him before he gets rid of Link!" Mezu yelled, looking horrified.

"Oh… My head…" a female voice groaned from behind them.

They turned and saw Tetra and Link regain consciousness. Mezu and Jezu smirked.

"Have a good sleep, you two?" they asked in unison.

"You tricked us!" Tetra exclaimed before she felt Link tap her shoulder. "Huh?"

She turned her head, seeing that his face was right next to her's and that her head was on his chest. Tetra turned beet red, and then she jumped out of the boat out of embarrassment. Link just blushed slightly, scratching his head before jumping out and landing beside her.

By now, Mezu and Jezu were on the floor laughing so hard that you could have heard them all the way back across the Great Sea! It was Tetra who shut them up with one of her many death glares.

"Umm… Anyway, where are we?" Link finally asked, looking around and finding nothing was ringing a bell in his memory.

"We're in the Black Haven… This is the entrance to a land with no name…" Jezu answered, sighing.

"… Which is why Gornon came after this area; for his new kingdom." Mezu added, looking out into the forest. "To tell you a secret, there's a sword hidden in there that you can use to fight the creatures…"

"Your Hero's Sword won't damage, let alone kill all of the Moblins and Bokoblins in this part of the forest!" Jezu exclaimed.

"OK, OK, OK!! I'll look for the sword and hope that no enemies pop out of nowhere! I gotcha!" Link said with a nervous grin and a twitch in his eyebrow. `I swear it, if they keep finishing each other's explanations, I'm gonna go nuts…'

He looked to Tetra and smiled. "You're coming with me, aren't you?"

"O-Of course I am! Why do you even need to ask? You know what the answer is!" was the answer Tetra gave to him. "Besides, who knows? When we defeat this Gornon guy, we could take this land with no name and make it the new Hyrule!"

"Hmm… Are you sure it should be Hyrule?" Link asked in a low voice. "I remember the King of Hyrule telling us that the land won't be Hyrule… That it'll be our land…"

"Who cares about names of Kingdoms!! We need to get you that sword before the Bokoblins pop out!" Jezu yelled impatiently.

"All right then! Lead the way!" Link said with an anger cross on his head.

Mezu and Jezu flew off into the forest, stopping every few feet to wait for Link and Tetra to catch up. The two teens were getting a little annoyed by the worrywart fairies; those monsters must have really have really given them a scare!

Just then, Tetra felt something take her hand. She blushed and pulled it away.

"Link! What was that! Your hand is SO cold!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Link asked, stopping beside Tetra.

"What am I talking about?! You tried to hold my hand!"

"N-No I didn't!" Link stuttered, blushing as he took a step back. He then thought. `That would have been a good idea, though, since it's so dark…'

Tetra gulped and stuttered as she asked.

"Th-Then who took my hand?"

Link and Tetra made scared looked, turning their heads back slowly until they saw what held her hand. A Bokoblin! Link and Tetra yelled in horror, taking off a few feet away from it. Tetra went behind Link, and Link unsheathed his Hero's Sword, getting into a fighting stance. He was ready to protect himself and Tetra once the Bokoblin came close enough.

The Bokoblin tried to smack Link with its Deku Stick, but he blocked it with his Mirror Shield. He then slashed the enemy with his Hero's Sword: Not even a scratch was left on it. Link narrowed his eyes and growled, trying again but with more strength. The Bokoblin didn't block, it just smirked as it was hit with the sword and smirked even wider when it saw what happened to Link's weapon after doing so. It broke. Link gasped at his broken sword, it looked more like a dagger now than it did a sword.

"M-My Hero's Sword!"

The Bokoblin smacked Link's hand and made him drop the broken sword, and then it jumped up and hit him over the head. Link fell to his knees, staring at his sword with a look of disbelief. He looked up with a death glare at the Bokoblin.

"That was my very first sword…" he spoke in a low, angry voice. "… And You Broke It!!"

He pulled out a large hammer, hitting the Bokoblin over and over again with it until it disappeared in a puff of dark-colored dust. But even after it disappeared, Link continued to slam the hammer on the spot where the Bokoblin was.

"Link! You can stop now! It's gone!" Tetra announced, running to him and putting a hand on his shoulder.

Link pushed her back, sending her to the ground. Once she landed with an "Ouch!" Link came back to reality. He stopped, putting away the hammer and looking to Tetra with a sad look on his face.

"What was that for?!" Tetra asked, glaring.

Link took a deep breath and held out a hand to help her up. Tetra cautiously took his hand.

"I'm… so sorry, Tetra…" Link said as he helped her to her feet. "I guess I got a little too furious…"

"I'll say… You kept hammering that spot long after the Bokoblin disappeared!"

Link looked at the ground to his right, closing his eyes.

"Sorry…"

"Naa… It's all right, these things happen." Tetra asked, looking to the broken blade. "Was that true what you said? About that being your first sword?"

"It was… Orca gave it to me as my first weapon once I was going to save you from the Helmaroc King…" Link replied, looking at it as well. "But… I guess it was about time that old thing broke. What are we here for anyway? A new sword, that's what! Let's go find Mezu and Jezu."

Tetra nodded, watching him take a few steps before she ran to his left side and took his hand. She didn't know why she did it, but she did. They both blushed at this sudden feeling of their hands touching. Tetra looked at the ground to her left, while Link just smiled and held onto her hand as well. They walked on, seeing a red and a blue glow out in the distance.

"You see that, Mezu?" Jezu asked, smiling.

"I do, Jezu… The Princess and the Hero seem to be getting close…" Mezu said from her observation. "Onward, my sister! We must lead the Hero of Winds and the Princess to the Light Sword."

"Yes, Mezu." Jezu said, her smile widening.

She could see from her spot how hard Link and Tetra were blushing, but they didn't let go of each other's hand. Mezu followed Jezu's gaze and saw this, smiling as well.

"Isn't that cute…"

"You think they'll turn into tomatoes?" Jezu asked with a grin.

The two fairies laughed, flying around each other and at the same time flying down the trail.
