Link trotted Epona through the village with Ilia, still lost in thought. Link carried her back to her house and for her to rest there.
He placed her in her bed and sat in a chair to watch her. Link was willing to stay with her until she'd wake up. It was almost as if she was in a coma.

Epona peaked her head through Ilia's bedroom window and brought another bouquet of flowers for Ilia.
"Thanks, Epona."
Link took the bouquet and placed them in a vase on her nightstand.

She groaned, forcing herself up and opening an eyes. Her body fell right back against the bed.
"Where...am I?"

Link almost fell asleep, but then he heard Ilia's voice. He jumped right out of his chair and ran to her. Link knelled at her bed and held her hand.
"You almost fainted in Kakariko Village. I thought it'd be best if I brought you home.
"You feeling better?"

She lifted a hand to his cheek, closing her eyes. She hurt, knowing that he might die one day. It made her heart ache.
"Link...I..I don't know..what happened.."

Link smiled warmly. He wanted to make her feel that everything is alright.
"You look a little weak. You hungry at all? Is there something I can do for you?"

"I'm not weak!"
She closed her eyes, getting up and running over to the door. She felt the tears from the pain.
"If...If you kill dar..I...I swear I'll never forgive you!"

Link, still kneeling at the bed, sighed and stood up. He walked to her with a straight face. Held her hand and spoke in a grave voice.
"Ilia, I don't know when Dark and I will make our next encounter, but I'm sure it's going to be a pretty bloody fight. One of us may end up dying and I want you to remember that we fight for what we believe in.
"I believe in protecting Hyrule and all of the kingdom's good people. If Dark happens to get in my way, I have to take him down. But he won't be easy to keep down, and neither will I.
"I'm telling you this so whatever happens, you are ready and understand what will happen. . . But I'll try not to kill him. . . for your sake. . ."

She pushed him away, crying softly.
"I..I'll never for give you! How could you say that! I hate you! You'll have to kill me to get near him! I promise you that!"
She stepped back, covering her mouth.
"And...Ganondorf told me this would happen when I first met dark..I had a choice..join him...or stay here...I regret staying..."

Link sighed thinking of his options.
"Ilia, I'm sorry you feel that way. . ."
Link turned away and sighed once more to calm down. He tried to speak without yelling.
"I want to be here to protect you. But what if my shadow kills me the next time we fight each other? I must protect my life to protect you. I made a promise to be your gaurdian but it's really hard to be a gaurdian when you're lover is trying to kill me!
"I'm sorry. . . Ilia. . ."

"H...He promised he wouldn't fight unless you did! He...He loves me! It pains him to say it, but he does!"
Tears filled her eyes as she continued to wipe them.
"You...You don't care...Do you?"
She was hurt, her heart poundiing, the voiced in her head. It was all surrounding her. She felt like screaming, but it wouldn't help.

Link saw her face drown in tears. He has finally learned now to keep all thoughts from common sense to himself. Link wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.
"Of course I care. I'm still here, with you, right?"
He held her tight and wished to never let go.
"I hate seeing you get hurt. All I want is your happiness. I hate seeing you like this; crying, hating me, everything that makes you feel bad inside. Ganon won't touch you, I gaurentee that. Dark won't be killed, I promise you. Nothing will come between you and your happiness, you have my word."
He finally learned to make promises he can keep and speak the truth to make Ilia happy.

"I don't want any of you to get harmed...I feel safe with both of you, and yet, when I back and forth..I run into him..He confuses me.."
She held to him, crying softly. She wanted him to hold her forever. She wanted him to keep all the pain away, but he couldn't.

"Fight his temptation. Be strong. You are a tough woman and I know you have the guts to shake off the things He talks to you about."
Link's voice grew more enthusiastic.
"I know you can do that, Ilia. And Dark knows it too. We all believe you can fight his words and know how to steer away from him. Believe it or not, but Dark and I will always be there to support you and guild you through his evil words."
Link looked down and smiled at her to show comfort in what he speaks of.
