Sorry for the extremely long delay, if anyone has been reading this at all. The new chapter:
Chapter One-
The fog, which had covered this particular part of the forest Link now walked about, was almost as thick as stone, or at least it had seemed that way. Fog or not, though, the boy was dead set on coming back home, to where he thought he belonged. In Hyrule.
