The ancient temple exhaled a chill as dusk surrendered to night, shadows stretching across the stone. Link stood sentinel, his gaze fixed on the princess kneeling before the Goddess statue, her whispered pleas lost to the wind.

With the grace of a shadow, he crouched beside her, his hand gently seeking her elbow to lift her from the hard, unforgiving ground.
