A/N I suggest to read this with the saddest music you know and JGF basically made this whole chapter.

As Josealine walks away she looks worriedly back at her husband then down at her baby,
she enters a large, dark, wet, cavelike entrance with a rock pathway on the right side of the river.
She enters the cave and goes around a corner to see a blinding light. She checks her son Rivan to make sure he is ok and sees him smiling as the gentle cool breeze brushes against his hair. She follows the light until it begins to grow, bringing nature into view. The domain kinda looks like a deep crater full of life and beauty, the night sky can be seen. A majestic waterfall flows down to a large pond below where blue fish-like people are swimming with blurring speeds.
She makes her way up a ramp near the right to try to get a better view of everything. She then sees in front of the waterfall an extremely narrow looking pathway that looks like it's been there for centuries. She clutches her child tightly and starts to make her way across trying not to look down. One of the fish people twirls out of the water and lands gracefully in front of her stoping her from crossing. Josealine stares in wonder as the fish-lady gives a kind smile, reaches out her hand and says, "Welcome to Zora's Domain! *puts hands on hips* I'm guessing you need a little help getting to the queen Rutela again, Josealine?"
Josealine smiles and says, "of coarse! I would love to see her. The Zora leans over and makes a gesture as if to ask if she can hold Rivan, Josealine understands and nods yes. The Zora picks up Rivan and coo's over him, as she does this Rivan's eyes flutter open and stare at the strange appearance of the stranger holding him and responds by giggling. The Zora then magically puts an air bubble around Rivan and request Josealine to grab on to her back fin. Josealine holds on to the fin as the Zora swims up the waterfall with Rivan all the way to a strange chamber.
The chamber has net-like walls with seashells weaved into it, light shines through holes in the celling making the area look ancient. The chamber also has a large deep pool in the middle and directly behind this Queen Rutela sat and smiled with joy when she saw her old friend.
Rutela- "What brings you here to Zora's domain Josealine?" She glances at Josealine's face and sees that she's crying while holding her child.
Rutela quickly gets up and runs over to her friend and asks worriedly, What's wrong?
(Josealine had been thinking about all never's that she'll never see in her children's lives... now she only has one left, the youngest, the last, she only had him for one month, and now... she has to give him up.)
Josealine- "I can't do it." She holds her confused child closely to her chest and cries, "why did this have to happen!"
Rutela goes over and hugs her friend and says reassuringly, "you know, you can tell me anything."
Josealine calms herself down and explains everything to her best friend and finally asks, "Will you take care of Rivan?" You are the only person that I can trust to raise him with the love, and care that he needs.
Rutela nods yes, "not only will I take care of him but also my most trusted follower, Seatra." She gestures over to the Zora that carried them up the waterfall who nods in response.
Rutela gently takes Rivan after letting Josealine say goodbye to the last and youngest child, knowing that this may be the final time either of them see each other ever again.
Josealine walks over to the waterfall's edge she looks back at her baby in tears with her blond hair blowing free, some strands brushing on her face, in the misty air, hoping that one day they will meet again. She turns and performs a swan dive off the waterfall and lands safely into the water.
As the sun starts to rise Josealine makes her way back to the forked river and waits patiently for her beloved husband.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Clint is walking back to the forked river in the fading darkness. He sees a familiar figure off in the distance and realizes that it is Josealine. Seeing his beloved wife he rushes up to her and hugs her.

Josealine- "now their is one more thing to do." With tears in her eyes she faces the river and holds her hands up in the air, a small glowing light-green orb starts to form
Clint- "what are you doing!?"
Josealine replies with sorrow and love written on her face, "protecting our children..."
The light-green glowing orb flots above her and grows to the size of two softballs, and sends it above the areas they just came from, a light green translucent wall forms before them, then disappears.
Clint asks, "what exactly did you do?"
Josealine- I made a dimensional barrier, which separates them in different dimensions from ours, to make it harder for Ganondorf to find them. Everything is the same inside, but if you enter from the outside, our children are invisible.
Clint- so in other words if your not involved in the spell (or not a local) then you can't see them. is their anyway to undo this? (he is worried that they will never see each other again, or that the siblings will never see each other)
Josealine nods, "yes, if the 4 sword is pulled from each of the dimensions that our children are in, then the barriers will be broken."
Clint smiles and joyfully says, "you're a genius!" And hugs her.
They start to walk away together but then,.. they stop.

Clint slowly takes his swords (the red and blue swords) and points one at the dark mysterious silhouetted figure and shouts angrily, "Who are You?! Show yourself!!"
The ominous figure steps into the light, it bares a mask that looks like a monstrous fish with a large mouth full of teeth and a long tongue filling in the mouth hole. As it steps out in the light *a scream sound in the background is made* then the being raises it's arm in the air and makes a sword out of what looked like Black little blocks outlined in red. Then at lightning speed it cuts through both Josealine and Clint.
As the strange being walks up to the barrier Joseline starts to panic, Clint trys to get up but yells in pain and falls back down.
The being looks at the barrier, and touches it. The barrier revels itself, then turns back invisible.
Josealine shifts and pulls out a hidden knife. She draws her arm back, then, just as she is about to throw the small knife, she stops. Her eyes are now full of confusion, then..realization.*she drops the knife, then puts her arm down to hold her bleeding side*
(Josealine somehow sensed the being smiling evily under the mask. But why? Why would it smile at the barrier? It failed there mission. She has an idea who and why, but it's only based on legends.)
The being looks up at the sky and then disappears in into the black blocks which floated up into a red and black portal in the sky.

Clint clenches his teeth in pain and drags his way to his wife, crawling on his stomach his hands clawing into the dirt. Dirt going deeper into his fingernails with every pull and drag of his body. Each movement bringing searing pain As he makes his way over to her, his vision starts to get Hazey and blurred. He urges himself to get to his wife no matter what happens. His only thought was one more moment, one last moment with Joseline.
Josealine sees her husband in immense pain with a matching wound and starts to make her way to him despite the pain that tells her to close her eyes and wait for it to end. She winches her eyes in pain. Despite the severe pain she keeps going blindly, terrified that she might never see her husband again. Finally her hand touches Clints face, she opens her eyes filled with tears and agony. Clint takes her and pulls her into an embrace *they smile as the pain fades* and whispers their eternal vow, "I shall always love you-"
Josealine finished his sentence as their eyes fade, "Until the end of time..."
