Three arrows struck the round, bright red target; two hitting its mark and other missing, hitting the house behind it. The Hylian cursed under his breath, lowering his bow and sighing. Gentle blue eyes concentrated on the door of the house as if he was waiting for someone to come out, and neatly combed blonde hair fell in front of those eyes, forcing the young man to brush it away.

Dressed in a dark green tunic, tan pants, and scuffed brown boots, Link lifted his bow behind his back and attached it to the strap. His longsword hung loosely by his side before he turned and looked at the small village. Link was currently traveling the land in attempt to hone his skills to reach the Hyrule Castle. The Hylian strode to the stables, finding Epona waiting for him. "Let's go." he murmured to her, scrambling up and grabbing the reins. His left hand rose up and grabbed the green hood that rest on the back of his neck and flipped it up, covering his hair but still showing his eyes... for the moment.

"Hyah!" he exclaimed, and began to gallop across the plains.
 
Princess Zelda resided at Hyrule Castle, awaiting Link's arrival. The eighteen-year old princess peered from the balcony of her castle bedroom, her pointed ears poking up from under her long blonde hair, that ended in a long braid while twin braids fell down in the front a little past her shoulders. She wore her typical decorative dress, the royal seal of Hyrule emblazoned upon the front along with the Triforce, symbol of the goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore. She sighed softly to herself, resting on her elbow against the railing, her cheek in turn resting in her gloved palm. She wore a jeweled tiara upon her head as well.

Her gaze extended from the castle tower to the sun setting in the distance in Hyrule Field. Her view soon noticed something moving at a swift place over the landscape. As it drew closer, it was easily distinguishable as Link's horse, Epona. A smile curled over her lips at this sight, as she moved from the tall ledge into her bedroom, going to the vanity and looking at herself in the mirror, making sure she was presentable.
 
Link's blue eyes flickered up ahead, catching sight of the large castle that he was aiming for. Two months ago, the young man left the castle months ago in search of an ancient tablet, only find a small shard of the stone. He felt the urge to see Zelda once again, though he had no idea if she had the same feeling. Urging Epona forward, they galloped past the city gates, quickly coming upon the castle itself.

"Woah..." he murmured to his horse, stopping her in her tracks as he looked at the large front doors of the castle. Sliding off Epona, Link gazed evenly at the doors before pulling down his hood, revealing his bright blond hair. With a wave to Epona to leave for a while, the Hylian sprinted towards the doors, rushing inside the castle interior.
 
The Hylian Knights guarding the main gate of the castle allowed Link to pass into the interior, dropping their guard and nodding in his direction. Zelda could see Link had entered and would soon be at her door. She smiled and moved to the bed and sat down, the soft surface lush with silk sheets, blankets, and pillows of all sizes.

She folded her hands neatly in her lap, eagerly anticipating her hero's presence.
 
Link skidded down the hallway, stopping himself as he turned a corner, dashing forward as he easily controlled his breathing. The small bag by his hip bounced a little, making a soft chink with each step. Sweat rolled down his brow as he slowed to a walk, straightening out his clothes adjusting his own gear, and making sure his hair was still neat as he neared the Princess' door.

Standing in front of the closed door Link prepared himself, attempt to calm his voice before he announced himself. Shortly after, a light knock sounded on the wood, signaling his presence.
 
Zelda's head perked up when a knock came at the door, and her smile widened, knowing who it was. "Come in." The princess answered in a soft, sweet voice. She got to her feet, brushing off the front of her dress and making sure she looked neat and presentable once more, lifting her gaze to the door of her bedroom.
 
Clearing his throat, he was slightly flustered to hear the sound of Zelda's voice again, and slowly opened the door that stood between them. In the months that had passed, she had gotten even more beautiful and gorgeous, while he became slightly unkempt with his long hair.

"Zelda," he said softly, saying the only thing he could think of at the moment.
 
"Link." Zelda replied softly, happiness and excitement evident in her voice as she started to step towards the handsome young man. She smiled, folding her hands across her front, a warm blush rising in her cheeks as she felt his eyes on her.

"Were you successful?" She asked, noting the small bag hanging from the waist of his tunic.
 
The young Hylian smiled sheepishly, blushing as he took the bag into his hand. "Of a sort..." he answered, opening the small bag and turning it upside-down, allowing the piece of stone to fall into his hand. "It was shattered when I arrived, Princess. This is all I could find," he explained, biting his lip as he handed her the flat stone.
 
Carefully Zelda plucked the small stone fragment from Link's hand, blushing a bit more as her fingers brushed against his. She examined it closely with curious eyes. "Ah, I see. Well it's better than nothing." She remarked with an optimistic smile, looking up at him with her deep, crystal blue eyes.
 
A bit of breath was caught in the young man's throat as her fingertips glided across the palm of his hand, and attempted to distract himself by responding to her. "With your permission, I would like to look for the rest of the tablet. When I arrived at the temple... a lingering dread hung over me; the feeling was strongest when I discovered the stone. I think... if we don't find the rest of it, something horrible will happen," he said, rubbing his neck, his fingers kneading the sore muscles from his training.

"Also, if you don't mind my asking... may I eat? I haven't had anything decent to eat in days." he said smiling slightly as he laid his hand on the hilt of his blade, his one true comfort zone.
 
"I think you are right. I've had a similar feeling.." The princess replied softly, glancing down at the floor for a moment before lifting her gaze to Link once more. "And of course you may. You need not ask permission." Zelda reassured, going to the table and offering the young adventurer a plate of bread and a bottle of Romani Milk.
 
Link's eyes flickered over to the bread and milked before he smiled in appreciation, striding over to the table and sitting down. He bowed thankfully before lifting up and taking a bite of the bread, chewing it for a minute before his taste buds exploded. His eyes went wide as he groaned gently in pleasure, taking another bite and drinking a bit of milk.
 
Zelda smiled and sat across the table from Link, folding her hands neatly in front of her on the table, watching Link enjoy his meal. She kept quiet, trying not to stare, although she hoped not to create an awkward silence as well.
 
Halfway through finishing the bread, Link realized he was being a bit greedy, and suddenly stopped. Looking towards Zelda, he swallowed the rest of the food in his food and held of the other half of the bread. "Sorry about that. Do you want some?" he asked quietly, and as he waited for her answer, he couldn't help but stare into those sapphire blue eyes of hers, caught in the gaze. It was only a few minutes after that he snapped out of his trance and offered the bread to Zelda again.
 
Zelda smiled politely and extended her hand to Link, taking the bread from his head. "Thank you, Link." The princess whispered, withdrawing her hand and taking a bite of the piece of bread. Chewing for a moment before swallowing, looking up at him again with those bright sapphire eyes, her smile widening a bit.
 
Link smiled back and leaned in his chair, stretching slightly. "Oh wow, that was good. Thank you Princess." he said truthfully before realizing that just moments before, as he came in, Zelda was standing there... as if she was waiting for him. Shaking off the thought, he pondered on why she was here alone.

"I apologize if I interrupted anything, Zelda. Do you have anything to do?" he wondered, raising an eyebrow as he waited for her response.
 
Keeping up her own smile, Zelda lightly shook her head. "No, nothing, Link." The princess moved her hands off the table to fold them in her lap. She assumed he had nothing left to do as well. Often she would offer him lodging at the castle, which he would occasionally accept, although he sometimes preferred his home in Kakariko Village very close to the Castle Town.

"Will..will you be staying the night?" She inquired, partly offering and partly asking, hoping not to seem too forward.
 
Link nodded, feeling an awkward silence ensue before she asked a question. A thoughtful look crossed his face as he pondered, weighing the pros and cons before responding.

"I suppose. Epona was worked hard enough to today, so I'll give her a day to rest," he answered, standing up. "By the way, it would be all right if I used your sparring grounds to train with the soldiers?"
 
It was reasonable to assume Epona, as well as Link himself, was tired, to say the least, from the day's adventure that she had put him through. She smiled at his answer, getting to her feet as well.

"Yes, of course." Zelda nodded politely. "But you don't plan to go train now...do you?" She asked curiously, a bit concerned that he might wear himself out.
 
Zelda held back a soft sigh, glancing door at the floor. "I just..just didn't want you to wear yourself out, is all." She said in nearly a whisper.
 
Link said nothing for a minute, stalled as to how he should respond. Opening his mouth, he nervously asked, "Well... do you want to take a walk?" he asked, hoping that they could possibly be more alone.
