Dark looked at the vial. "Uhh... I've never had any visions... It was you who had the visions, Link." Dark gave Link a glance then walked down to the cellar, knowing it would be empty and dark. "A good place to sleep, bottoms up." He then just poured the contents of the vial down his throat without tasting it. "Why does my head hurt?" Dark said to himself. Then he felt the world tilt and he went out cold.

Midna sighed. "So where should I sleep?" she asked. Figure there's no spot for a Twili in this world... she said to herself, smirking.

Mona glanced at Dark going down to the cellar. "Odd place to sleep, but if he's comfortable, whatever." She laughed, then looked at Midna. "I told you, pick any room. The best rooms are on the top floor, and you don't need to share with anyone. There's enough space for each of you to have your own sleeping quarters."

Zelda landed with a thud in a clearing. The grass was green and healthy, the trees thick and heavy with leaves. She could see Hyrule Castle in the distance. She smiled. "It's just like before." Zelda stood up, smoothing her skirt, which was completely undamaged. She noticed her arm was healed, as well. "This is a good sign."
Suddenly, big red splotches began blotting the clear sky, spreading until everything was dyed colors of crimson and black. It even rained in the same shade.
Zelda was whisked to the Castle entrance, seeing the raindrops stain the walls. Shortly after, the spots burst into flame. She yelped and began running from it, only to be blocked off by a falling piece of the tower. She tried running another way, only to bump straight into Tenebre, who raised his sword and...

Midna nodded. "If you don't mind, I would like to share one with Zelda. I want to make sure she's safe. After all, she IS my best friend."

"The door's probably already locked to her room, and there aren't multiple beds in the rooms. She'll be fine. Michael and I are keeping watch." Mona said. "She's also most likely knocked out and already dreaming."
~~~~
Whoosh!
A hole opened up beneath her and down Zelda fell, right onto her horse. "Uh... Alright."
"Zelda, why have you stopped? Ganondorf's domain is just over the horizon, we must keep going." Link was stopped beside her, a hand on her shoulder. "You alright? You look confused."
She knew this was the Link her vision conjured, and not actually him. But nonetheless she treated it like it was him, because this likely would be him in the future. Same with everyone else. "Oh, um, sorry. This heat's just getting to me a little." The heat was indeed intense. She looked down to notice she wasn't wearing a dress, but a deep violet tunic with black tights and her brown boots. She blinked a few times, wondering where it came from. It was easier to maneuver in, though, so she couldn't complain. "I'll pick up speed, I promise. Hya!" She pulled on the reins and off she went, Link and Epona following.

Midna sighed. "Fine. Whatever." She looked out into space. "Can my room at least be the closet to hers? I still don't trust her alone. She is my Hylian sister, and if something happened to her..."

Link watched as Dark vanished into the bowels of the cellar. He shrugged and looked at the vial in his hand. He tucked it in one of his pouches and ascended the stairs. He paused just before entering the next floor.
"Sarri? Where are you going to go?"
"Hey, don't worry about me getting to sleep. You go ahead." She waved him on, a distracted look in her eyes. He shrugged and yawned.
"Alright then. If you need help, don't call me. I'll be fast asleep," he said jokingly. Sarri shot him a glare as he continued up.
He wandered the hallway until he found a room he was comfortable with.
Green rugs donned the floors, shaggy and soft, like the grass Link had gotten so used to during his adventures. He tasted the bittersweet emotion of longing as he opened the window on the far wall to breathe in the dusk's scent before heading to bed.
Yawning, he closed the it again and pulled the green curtains across the shining glass. He turned to the bed leaning against the wall. Simple with its design, the wooden frame resembled the one he had grown up with in the forest. Link smiled at the memories of Navi, who had gone back to the forest on her own accord. He returned to reality with a sigh and flopped down on the bed, not really bothering with his boots, although he shook them off with a quick flick of his feet. He hung his hat on the bed's headboard and let the mesh bug net encase him. He leaned his sword, sheathed, against the bed along with his belt and pouches. Reaching in one of them, he retrieved the vial, watching the orange liquid slosh around. Popping the top off he gulped down the vile fluid and quickly put the empty container on the floor as his head began to spin into the cold darkness of his dreams.
***
Sarrianna Jae watched Link go up the stairs and looked at her arm with disgust. She shook her head and sighed, placing the potion in the sling with her left arm. She trundled up the stairs after him, searching for her perfect room. There.
The natural lights of the twilight crisscrossed the floor with an interesting design. The window was rather large with the pattern of a rose etched in the glass. A bed sat just beneath that window with soft blankets adorning the rather fanciful framework. The red curtains seemed to go all around the room in trestles, giving the room a royal appeal.
Sarri positioned herself carefully on the bed before taking a swig of the potion and slipping into her dream-scape.

"Sure." Mona nodded. "Dunno what room she's in, though. I think she went somewhere in the upper floors."
~~~~
Things felt so surreal to Zelda. Being alert in a dream was something new. She could feel the wind in her face as she sped forward on her horse, could feel the heat on her arms. She could smell the sulfur in the air, as well. The landscape was so vivid, the skies drenched in grays and more reds. The scorched ground seemed like a desert, a sandy brown, cracked and crumbling. Bones littered this bleak earth. It seemed like they were the only life forms there.
The group rode on, Zelda still in awe, and fearing what was to come. She didn't like the feeling in her gut she had of what would happen next. What's worse was she was in a vision. This was what was to come.

Midna smiled and nodded. "Thank you." She walked upstairs and as she walked she listened for sounds or unrest. This would let her know where Zelda was. When she food her room, she opened the door closet to her. No one was there, so she laid down and fell asleep almost immediately.

Duo had gotten fed up with Dark's attitude so he simply vanished into the shadows out of the portal. When he emerged, he was back where he had originally met the group. He could see the people and quickly donned his disguise. HIs tattoos vanished along with his chains and mage robes. He appeared in some pants and a baggy shirt. HIs eyes were colored chocolate and he had a good tan. He looked normal. Now to learn. He walked forward toward the dwelling and smiled. He saw a girl and heard one of the people call her Mona. He nodded in approval. She was pretty. He opened his hand and a letter appeared addressed to the girl. He kncoked on the door.

Link snapped his eyes open to a strange scene. Grass tickled his hands as he relaxed in the sunlight, legs crossed and on his elbows. He sat upright, getting a strange feeling of loss and unease.
The grass was so vivid, the tree so real, and the sky an unnatural shade of blue, almost multiplied. He gulped as he again felt the sheer panic of being alone. He bit his lip and looked around. He could not recognize the place.
He was sitting under a small tree in a large field that slightly resembled Hyrule Field, but something felt out of place.
"Link..." He heard his name and he turned his head towards the voice. He blinked as he felt someone lean against his back. The scent of blood filled his nostrils and he felt the pang of unrest again.
"Link... don't move..." Link suppressed the urge to stand to see who is was leaning on his back.
"We need to get you medical attention." The words tumbled from his mouth on their own accord.
"...I know, Link... But I just... want to relax... for a bit more..." Link sighed as he wondered, what had happened?
He suppressed a groan as light flashed and he saw himself wielding the great Master Sword, the blade of evil's bane. Snippets of memories he had not experienced flashed before his eyes. Sarri laughing. Zelda speaking. Midna leaning on his shoulder with a troubled look in her eyes. Darkness swirling beneath their feet. Tears splashing onto a hard stone floor. A scream...

Michael answered the door, opening it up with a quick response.
"Good evening. What business do you have to attend to in this area or household? "
He thought he saw something familiar in the being's...wait, was he seeing aura's like an angel would? No, it must be a trick of his equipment.
Unfortunately, exercise was not something that could physically exhaust Tenebre and so he couldn't get his anger out that way, but he did it anyway. It could take hours, but the whole time he was thinking of the mind games and physical injuries he could give to Michael has punishment....and kept expanding on those ideas...and those ideas...until his tortures would leave even Michael, who seemed to be quite different from most organic beings, would be even more of a shell he was already.

Mona approached the door cautiously, standing behind Michael, eyes staring at this stranger curiously.
~~~~
The group rode up to the entrance of Ganondorf's Castle, hopping off their horses. Zelda noticed Mona was with them, as well. Something changed about her. She seemed stronger, more grown up.
"I don't feel so good, man." Mona clutched her stomach. "I'm scared." She managed to eke out.
"It'll be okay Mona, we're all going to protect each other." Zelda said in attempts to reassure her. "I'm afraid, too."
"Zelda's right. We're all scared, but we've all got each other's backs." Link smiled.
"We're gonna kick Ganon's butt all the way to the Sacred Realm, just like before!" Midna cheered, putting an arm around Mona.
We all seem so casual with each other... I wonder if we've learned to trust one another more. I kind of like it. Zelda thought. "What Midna said." She put her hands on her hips. "Now let's go, we can't keep Ganondorf waiting." She winked, and so the group moved forward, with some reluctance.

Sunoka woke up in her house. Her mother and father were still alive, and everything seemed to be perfectly fine, even her sight. "Mother? And father?" She thought excitedly. To her, it was as if she was awake, and everything that had happened was the bad dream. The girl walked outside and looked up at the sky. She was glad to see the sun again. But that joy soon ended when she saw smoke coming from Hyrule Castle. She closed her eyes and rubbed them, then opened them again. Sunoka's eyes widened as she saw the entire town burst into flame. She heard crackling sounds coming from her house and turned around to see what it was when...
Some debris fell towards her, just like it did when Tenebre attacked the town. But this time, Sunoka covered her face and jumped away. She wasn't about to be blinded by the same exact thing again. The girl got up off the ground and looked around to see something very different. It was her battle with Tenebre. Fear began to grasp her as she saw the horrid looking creature that she had fought. "I-I f-fought that!?" Shivers ran down her spine as Tenebre raised his sword and brought it down on Sunoka's head. She flinched and closed her eyes, but she didn't feel any pain.
The girl opened her eyes and looked around to see Ganondorf, Tenebre, and Duo. She looked at the three with fear. Why was she here? The past two scenes had been of her past, so was this what was to happen to her? Sunoka blinked once and found herself chained to the wall. "Huh? Wh-what!?" She struggled against the chains, but they didn't budge. The three men were getting closer and closer. "No. No! NO!" Ganondorf slowly raised his hand up to the girl's face as an energy ball appeared.
Sunoka shot up and fell out of her bed, screaming in fear. "NOOO!" She screamed, but slowly calmed down when she realized that she was no longer asleep. "It was... It was all... a dream..." The girl mumured, her breathing heart rate slowing down from the frightening scare. She was glad that she hadn't screamed too loud, for, the girl didn't want to wake anyone up. "But what was that?" She thought as she looked down at her hands and remembered that she was no longer dreaming, therefore, she couldn't see anymore. Sunoka slowly stood up, wobbling a bit from the fright she had just had. She walked over and sat down on the side of the bed, too afraid to fall asleep again, until the girl was certain that the potion was no longer going to make her experience her dreams in person.
