After hours of plotting another attack, Kirion finally found a way to slow Link and Laura down if not kill them. "I want to deal with them personally. I want to show them true pain." Kirion said as she walked back down the black halls of her castle.

When Link woke up the next morning after the river incident, he saw that it was snowing. "Great, just what I need." Link grumbled. He had a long night. When he had fallen in the river, he had sprained his wrist, and though Laura had treated it, it hurt, and it kept him up all night, except for the last two hours of darkness, when he managed to sleep. Laura was still awake. She had been up all night. "Laura, hoe 'bout you go to sleep. You've been up all night." Link said to Laura. "Nah. I've gone longer without sleep before. I can handle. One night isn't going to hurt me. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about Yeerks. And don't ask me about Yeerks. The only thing that you will hear me say if you ask is ' Just be glad that you don't have to deal with the damn mind-controlling gray slugs.'" Laura said. Link got up and looked around. He noticed something behind Laura, and they were moving towards Link and Laura. When they got close enough, Link saw that they were Moblins and Stalfos! Link poised for battle. Laura saw Moblins, and Link saw her worried look. "LINK, LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!!" Laura yelled, but was too late. Link was knocked unconscious from a blunt blow to the head, and both were captured.

Link woke up, and his head was throbbing. He didn't remember much after seeing Laura's worried look. They both had escaped the M,oblins and stalfos when Laura used her psychic powers to teliport. He saw Laura sitting by him, wrapping his head in a bandage. They were in a cave, and there was a blizzard out side. "What ... happened?" Link could barely speak a whisper. "Nothing to worry about now, Link. Just rest. Recover your strength." Laura said to Link. Link tried to sit up, but was so weak, he could barely stir. Laura stroked Link's hair, and Link felt himself being pulled back into the black void that he had just so recently left.

Laura sat by his side. He's lost a lot of blood. He's lucky to be alive. Laura thought. She had nothing that could help Link. Not even her telepathic powers could help. Nither one of them knew that they were being watched.

Back in Kirion's castle, Kirion watched as Link and Laura stay in a cave. "They have been slowed down enough. They are out of the way for now, so I can go look for the other four Guardian stones. Then have them come to my lair, and then all five stones will be together, and then I can rule every realm that was ever created. WHA hahahaha!!" Kirion left her throne and went down the dark halls of her castle.
