Link just shook his head, placing a hand in the older boy's hair.

 

"I don't know all the details..." he said softly. "But I know this. You would never do anything to bring harm to those children. Just because you can talk to them, doesn't make you bad."

 

Gently giving a soft pat to his love's head, he gently nuzzled the other boy.

 

"C'mon..." he continued. "Let's go back. I'm sure they'll understand... and if not, I'll make them."

Diggs allowed himself to be dragged to his feet, his attack power feeling like it had been cut... he was probably functioning on 15% after that incident.

 

He gently squeezed the other's hand as he followed beside him, his eyes looking tired from crying...he still had tears in his eyes, but they weren't as bad now.

 

"...I'm sorry..."

Link shook his head again, as they went back down to Kakariko Village.

 

"Don't apologise..." he murmured. "You did nothing wrong."

 

Back in the village, Link's eyes narrowed again as he saw the children, still standing around. He didn't look at Colin with his icy stare. After all, the kid idolised him, and was even supportive. Bringing Diggs over, he scowled at Beth.

 

"Well?" he growled out. "I believe you have something to say?"

Beth whimpered, before she looked up at the older of the two boys, seeing his face...

 

She suddenly bowed, shaking a bit.

 

"I-I'm sorry...!"

 

Diggs watched her, as she was shivering a little, tears falling onto the dusty ground. Was she scared?

 

"I didn't want to believe it was true... y-you can hit me if you want... I... I didn't know what to think... and everything Ilia would scream at me about you... I let it get the better of me... I'm sorry, Big Brother..."

 

His eyes widened... Big Brother... she hadn't called him that in so long...

 

Big Brother... Big Brother, go swimming with me...! Big Brother Diggs...!

 

He rubbed the tears away from his eyes, and knelt down, wrapping Beth tightly into his arms.

 

"It's okay, Beth... please don't cry... I understand... I'm sorry..."

Link's expression softened, a guilty look replacing his once angered look. Lowering his glance to the ground, he turned away.

 

"Beth..." he muttered. "I'm... sorry I was so hard on you. But understand... Diggs... is special to me. He's more than just my best friend. He's... my soul mate."

Diggs looked over at Link, a soft hint of blush on his cheeks, before a smile appeared on his face...

 

It was kind of cute... Link was talking to others now... and though he was looking away, he admitted that he and him were lovers.

 

"What's a soul mate?" Talo asked softly.

 

"...A boyfriend or girlfriend." Malo rolled his eyes.

 

"Excuse me, are you two the boys these kids were speaking of?"

 

Diggs looked up as he saw the man in shaman like clothing that he heard was called Renado back when they were spirits. He remembered hearing that some Shamans can understand animals, and even had close relationships with the Zora and Gorons.

"We are well met. I am Renado, the shaman of this town. And this is..."

 

Barnes lifted his mask, as if waiting for himself to be introduced next.

 

"This is my daughter, Luda." He gestured to the young girl instead.

 

Diggs picked himself up, carrying Beth in his arms.

 

"I'm Diggs, and this is Link."

Link nodded, moving closer to Diggs. He was still a little uncomfortable meeting new people.

 

"Nice to meet you..." he said softly. "You took care of the kids?"

 

Colin looked up at Link, his eyes sparkling up at his idol.

 

"The beasts took us and left us to die..." he said. "...but Mr. Renado found us."

"Mmm... Nightmares are everywhere these days, it seems. This village has certainly seen its share of recent hardships..."

 

Renado looked over in the direction of the mountains.

 

"The dark beasts attacked, but even worse was the sudden and inexplicable change in the mountain-dwelling Goron tribe. They had long been our friends, but suddenly treated us as foes. Even now they refuse to permit us entry into their mines. It strains the limits of belief... To think that such a gentle and proud tribe could change so suddenly... It makes me wonder if something in those mines is the cause of this change... In any case, you must take these children and flee this village before more nightmares descend. I, of course, cannot leave my village in such a time. There is no telling what may happen to us here......But it is my job to try to coax the Gorons back from their recent change of heart."

Diggs blinked, still keeping a grip on him. He took a hold of his arm, and pulled him into one of the buildings, making the group they had left behind to stare in confusion.

 

"Link, just listen for a minute without the stubbornness. I know what I'm doing... try and go back to Ordon and talk to Bo. He has the trust of the Gorons cause he bested them in a test of strength a couple years back... he'll show you how to do it... Please trust me... I don't want to watch you get thrown off a cliff by a Goron..."

Diggs jumped as Link pulled from his arms at the sound of a horse whinny.

 

He seemed a bit sad... sure, he was happy... Link finally told him that he loved him, and they would fight anything to protect each other... everytime he was in the Twilight, he hated it, but Link would be clingy and wanting to mate with him... here, things kept getting in the way...

 

It would almost be better if...

 

No, he made himself stop thinking like that. He hurried after Link to see if he could help calm Epona down.

Epona came racing into the village, two Bulblins falling off her back and exploding into smoke. The horse raced towards Link, the blond managing to dodge in time. The horse turned around, eyes wide with fear.

 

She's panicking. I'd better calm her before she hurts herself.

 

Link ran for the horse, jumping on her back. In panic, she reared and began racing all over. Thinking quickly, Link managed to wrangle her, and calm down the distressed creature. Breathing a sigh of relief, he smiled over at Diggs, his eyes gleaming

 

This excitement. Just like I feel in the twilight. Diggs... just you wait until I get you back home. Your turn awaits...

Diggs hurried over and gently pet the fuzzy mare.

 

"Shh... it's alright now, Epona, those things won't hurt you anymore..."

 

Epona gently nudged him with her head, resting her eyes

 

"I'm so glad to see you both again... I was so scared when those things were trying to ride me and hit me if I didn't do as they said..."
