Chapter Six

"Link…" the girl said softly, bending down beside Link.

Link slowly sat up, seeing the girl he cared for most wearing a white, spaghetti-strap top with a white skirt that went down to her knees. His eyes widened as he blushed at her appearance.

"T-Tetra…?"

The girl smiled, letting herself fall to her knees and hugging him. Link made a stunned look, but he slowly put his arms around her waist, hugging her back. He put his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes, never wanting the moment to brake. Tetra then whispered to him.

"Link… Do you… Love me…?"

Link felt as if he was in Heaven, and to make it better, he felt as if he could tell her anything. Especially how he felt about her.

"… Yes…"

"Then… Let me help you…" the girl whispered, holding on tighter to him.

"Huh?" Link asked, slowly opened one eye to look at her.

Tetra let him go, staring at him with a worried look.

"Allow me… To help you…"

"Tetra… There's nothing wrong with me… Why do I need your help?" Link asked with a clueless look.

Tetra ignored his question and closed her eyes, tears appearing in them. They fell down her cheeks as Link stood up.

"Don't leave me… Please…" the girl begged, slowly getting to her feet.

Link was confused, but then Tetra began to grow father and father away from him. He could see her reaching out and running toward him, but she only got farther from sight. Link's eyes widened, feeling a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head quickly, only to see a slightly taller person than him. His eyes grew wider when he realized whom it was; it was Gornon smiling at him.

Link yelled as he began to fall through the invisible floor, feeling the wind rush by as he fell. It was then that he felt himself hit the ground.

"Aaahh!!!!" Link yelled, finally opening his eyes and sitting up.

Tetra and the Fairies were on either side of him, staring at him with worried looks.

"Are you OK, Link?" Tetra asked.

"It must have been quite a bad dream…" Mezu thought out loud.

"Yeah, you were yelling for at least a half an hour!" Jezu informed.

Link was looking at the ground in front of him with wide eyes as he panted. His fisted hand was over his heart as he just stared unblinkingly at the grass.

`S-Something's going to happen to me… And Tetra's going to disappear when it does… What am I going to do…?' he thought, continuing his panting.

Tetra stared worriedly as Link sat there in a daze. What could have happened in his dream to make him act like this? She really wanted to know, but felt that this wasn't the time to ask.

"Hey, don't you think we should get going?" she asked, trying to take Link's mind off of his nightmare.

"Ye-Yeah… We should get moving before the…" Link began, but they were all ready surround by Moblins. "… Moblins come…"

"Too late for that!" Jezu yelled.

Link unsheathed his Light Sword and threw the Hero's Bow and his Light Arrows to Tetra. The girl caught them and aimed at a Moblin as Link took down two of them with a Spin attack. The two Fairies flew up high over the fight so none could hit them.

"Honestly… What does Gornon think he'll get out of this if he just sends a bunch of his minions after them?" Mezu asked, sighing and shaking her head.

"Umm… Hey Mezu… That Messenger Fairy's comin' for you again…" Jezu said with a blink.

"Jeez!!" Mezu yelled; turning around to see that dopey-faced Fairy handing her a letter.

"For you, Dear Mezu…" the orange fairy said in a polite and proper voice.

`If only he could make his face match his voice…' Mezu thought, snatching the letter and reading it out loud.

"You wonder why I send my Minions, to have them destroyed; I have trillions! A bow and an arrow are what you search for, but soon the Hero's mine, your lives will be yours no more!"

"Let me guess… From Gornon?" Jezu asked, an annoyed look on her face.

"You got it… But what did he mean `The Hero's mine, your lives will be yours no more?'" Mezu asked, looking at the note again, then back to Jezu with a worried look. "I've got a bad feeling about this, Jezu…"

"You and I both! That note gives me the willies!"

"Why must Gornon send you two letters every so often?" the orange fairy asked, looking at Mezu.

"Beat it, Greg!!" Mezu yelled, slapping him with her Fire Magic.

The fire burnt a hand mark on the orange Fairy's face and sent him flying all the way back into the Black Haven. Mezu dusted off her hands as Jezu clapped.

"You should have done that last time!"

"I know, but that's not the point. Come on, we have to tell Link and Tetra."

After going back to the ground and explaining Gornon's Letter to Link and Tetra, they were all very baffled about what it meant.

"Link, you better be extra careful… He'll probably send another Kargoroc, but to get you this time." Mezu said, making a serious look.

"Don't worry, I'll be all right. I have my sword, remember?" Link reminded, grinning. "I can just cut the darn birds feet off!"

"Umm… Link?" Tetra asked nervously. "This may not be the right time… But you don't have any more arrows… And… Umm…"

Link sighed and shook his head.

"Don't tell me… A Moblin broke my Hero's Bow?"

Tetra nodded, still a nervous look on her face.

"Don't worry about it… I heard from my new friend Nayru that there's a Light Bow and White Arrows at the Spell Tower."

Tetra looked up at him, seeing him give her a forgiving smile. She blushed slightly, but smiled back.

"We should probably make like a tree and leaf right now before more Moblins come after us…" Jezu suggested.

After seeing a nod from everyone, they went off down the East path.

"Lord Gornon… The message you sent was received… And they are currently going to the Spell Tower in the East." A human slave spoke, bowing down in front of a person in shadow.

"Well now… This is perfect… That's where you put the Bow and Arrows that I put a spell upon, is it not?" Gornon asked; his smirk was very visible.

"Yes, my Lord… It is…"

"Excellent… They should get there by early evening… Send some Moblins and perhaps a Darknut or two if necessary. Anything to make him use that Bow…"

"Yes, my Lord…" the human slave said before leaving.

Gornon began to laugh his evil laugh as he spoke.

"This will be very interesting…"
