The Stolen Heart Part 5

Kisuke jerks awake at the sound of footsteps, the breath catching in his throat and one hand reaching for his blade— “Woah, hey, just me,” a vaguely familiar voice announces even as the footsteps halt. “There’s no danger around.” Kisuke scrubs at his face, trying to shake the cobwebs from his mind, and then glances …

Link gave the dying embers of his fire one last poke, before sighing and kicking dirt over it, extinguishing its final dim glow and leaving the small cave lit only by the pale, rainbow-ripple of light coming off of the tele-pad and shimmering atop the little pools of water scattered around.

when two brilliantly shine as one Part 4
