Link's Diary

                                    

                                          
After a morning which seemed to have dragged on forever, Link was hastily stuffing various items of clothing into his travel sack. His head felt light from the drinks he brought for the guards, but he persisted in his vigour nonetheless. As he threw in his last tunic, a small black box which stood on his drawer leered at him.
"Take me with you!" it said, opening and shutting as it spoke.
Link stared at the box in horror, then rubbed his eyes, and glanced at it again.
"How much space can a little box take?" It carried on, "Besides, I posses the power which you are to afraid to use."
"I am not afraid!" Link snapped.
"Afraid of what?"
Link turned his head to the door, where Zelda was staring at him curiously.
"Afraid of... Chu Chus." Link smiled.
"Chu Chus?" Zelda repeated.
"Yes."
"Who were you talking to, anyway?" She asked.
"Myself, apparently..." He mumbled, "I might have a drink too many."
"Hmmm, well hurry up, we should be leaving soon." She said as she left the room.
"You know you want to take me!" 
"Shut up!" Link shouted, "If I take you will you shut up?!"
The box didn't reply. The General sighed angrily and snatched the box up in his hands and stuffed them into his trouser pocket.
"As if I could ever do it..." He muttered as he slung his travel sack over his shoulder.

"Look, I tacked the horses up!" Zelda announced proudly as Link entered the royal stables.
"Why?" He asked.
"I wanted to."
Link eyed her up in her blue travelling gear as he went over to Epona and stroked her mane.
"Let me just double check to be sure." He whispered.
He subtly walked around Epona, checking the girth of the saddle and the reins, then nodded to himself in satisfaction.
"You know I can look after a horse." Zelda called out, stroking her white stallion, "You're not the only horse rider in here."
Link adjusted his green tunic and smirked at her.
"Yeah, but I'm better."
"We are not going through this again." Zelda hissed.
"Your Majesties, shall I take your horses out?"
A stableman was standing at the entrance, looking at the two expectantly.
"Yes please." Zelda smiled as she walked out.
"Majesties?" Link repeated, staying with the stableman, "There is only one Queen."
The stableman shrugged and led the horses out of the stable, with Link following him.
"Just training myself." He said casually.
"Even he knows it."
"Oh, shut it you annoying little-"
Zelda and the stableman stared at Link quizzically.
"Fly." He finished, forcing a smile, "There was a fly buzzing around."
