Hey guys, Sorry to keep any of you readers waiting another week. However…I’ve been writing practically non-stop for the past several months. Aside from college the most I do is write. I’m gonna be taking a break for a week or so, settle back, play some games that I’ve been neglecting, Metal Gear if you must know, color some art, and try to figure out how to use Flash. Basically, I’m taking a break and will hop right back in when I can.

However, to make up for the loss of a chapter I encourage you to do one of two things, or both. First, I am uploading a one-shot short story, called Frozen Serenade. It’s Zelda based, so that should be some good fun. Two, look at my page on dA, there’s some fun Zelda art in my gallery, and if I can, I might be able to upload some Zelda pictures that I’ve been working on. And because I must follow dA guidelines, I shall be entertaining you with:

A preview of something that which is yet to come!

Zelda leaned against the railing of the gazebo. Her blue eyes searched out over the water, the deep fathomless ocean she had nearly been lost to only a few short hours ago. There was the sound of a chime in the air, the whimsical whiz that was a precursor to Link arriving from Navi’s wings beating through the air.

The railing shifted slightly. Zelda cast her gaze to the side and saw that he was leaning on the railing abreast of her. A faint blush rose to her cheeks at his proximity, she looked up and found tat he was staring at her. She turned her face to the side to hide the color in her face.

He chuckled and reached out a hand to her shoulder. She jumped and looked up at him, there was a tender smile on his face, unlike the stern expression he wore so frequently when she was around. Her heart jumped to her throat at the gentleness in his eyes.

As he stood straight, her body reacted reflexively. She turned to face him, placing her hands on his chest. He was several inches taller then her, but they craned their necks, staring deeply into the other’s eyes. Zelda felt her heart beat pulsating through every part of her body and count the beats by tens before they moved under a unanimous decision.

He gently brought her body closer to his until she was flush against him. He bent downwards as she moved her body upwards. She could almost feel the connection of their lips when he moved his head down sharply. Infuriated by what seemed a cruel joke she pushed him backwards. The winds whipped around them and her forearms, where they had been against his chest, seemed unnaturally chill. Zelda looked down at them and gasped, her silk gloves were saturated with fresh blood.

Link had fallen to his knees, his left hand holding his stomach. He grunted in pain as Zelda fell next to him, kneeling, and removed his hand so she could examine his injury. Before she could spy more then the bloodstain, which was growing at an alarming rate, on the front of his tunic, she gasped and clutched her breast with her right hand as her heart rang out a shrill and painful beat.
