It didn't take them long to make it to the large city that was less than a mile from where they had met Masks. Some of the heroes asked him questions, while Sky, Twilight, and Time stayed back, glaring and gagging as he flirted with Wars. As they entered the city, people turned and stared at them in awe. A little boy, who couldn't have been older than eight or nine, came running up to Wars. He was wearing a green shirt that was too big for him, and a blue scarf that made him trip every few steps. "Are you the hero?" he asked. Warriors smiled down at him. "Yes, yes I am" he answered, chuckling. "Oh my goddesses!" he squealed. "My sister has a huge crush on you" Legend bit back a laugh. "John?!" called a voice. "There she is now, she really likes you since you saved our village from the moblins...." the girl cut her off. "That's enough John... s... sorry....." she blushed as she looked at Wars. "It's no problem at all miss" said Masks, kissing her hand. The poor girl looked ready to die. Luckily, Time stepped in to save her. "Is there an inn around here" She nodded quickly. "Follow me!"

They followed her, John fell back, looking at the heroes in awe, as Masks and Warriors walked along side her. She was blushing deep red as they entered the inn. It was huge, the main room filled with only a half dozen people. "Welcome!" said a booming voice. They all turned to see who they presumed was an innkeeper. "Have you come to stay at the inn?" he asked, guiding them towards the counter. "Um... yes...." said Warriors. Masks placed a large bag of rupees down on the counter. "How many rooms do you have?" he asked. "Five" said the inn keeper. "I apologize, we're quite busy" Masks just shrugged. "We'll take all five, Warriors, you can bunk with me. And the rest of you can have a death battle over the other ones or what not" Warriors turned to them as Masks finished talking to the inn keeper. "Please don't actually have a death battle" he shot Sky and Twilight a look. "No promises" Wind joked, then added. "Can I stay with you guys? You're the only one who doesn't snore" Wars raised an eyebrow, and was about to say something when Time cut in. "Absolutely not. You'll sleep with Twilight" he answered. Wind pouted. "Why not?" They all looked at Time, and Legend's face formed into a smirk. "Yeah Time, why not?"

"I'm not having that conversation with you right now" he answered, looking over at the inn keeper. "What city are we in?" he asked. The inn keeper smiled. "Why, you're in the city of Heteno! The most prosperous city in Hyrule.... except for Hyrule Castle Town of course" he smiled kindly at them as they walked away. "Heteno was a city?" Wild asked himself. "Alright, we'll spend a few days here. But we can't spend all our time at an inn" Time commented. "Whatever you say Old Man.... Say, I'm getting kind of tired.... Masks?" Masks nodded, and followed Warriors. "They don't look tired" Wind commented. "Don't worry about it Sailor" said Sky, ruffling his hair. 

"Twilight, you stay with Wild. Legend and Hyrule, you two can stay together. And Four and Sky can stay together" he commented. They all nodded and walked off to their individual rooms. As soon as Sky got to their room, he felt tired again. Which obviously was nothing new for him. But this was a different type of tired. It made him want to fall unconscious right at that very moment. He sighed, and layed down on the uncomfortable bed. "Tired already?" Four joked, putting his stuff on the opposite one. "Sort of" he commented. Four shrugged. "I'm going to go enjoy the city. See ya' later" Sky didn't answer as he tried and failed to get some more sleep. 

It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door. He dragged himself up, and walked over, to find Masks standing on the other side. His hair was a mess, he had forgotten to put a belt over his tunic, so it drooped over his body like a dress, and his face was flushed red. "You look like you had fun" he commented. "Tons" Masks answered, smirking. Sky felt like gagging, but instead, he just asked. "I assume your not here to chit chat" Masks face became serious. "No, we need to talk...." he looked around. "But not here" He pulled Sky with him down the hall and out the door of the inn. Making their way into Heteno's busy streets. They walked all the way to the gates of the city, took a left, and Masks pulled Sky out of a small wooden door in the wall. It lead to a small room with only one window. Masks sat down on an old crate and held his head in hands. 

"So, you said he wanted to talk to me" he sat on the window sill, and looked out at the open field beyond. "Yes" Masks answered. It wasn't often that Sky heard his brother's scared tone of voice. Of course, this was only the second time they had ever met in person. But the "dream world" that they communicated in, had to count for something, right. "He told me that he needed you, immediately, I'm sorry about the dream. But I needed to get your attention some how.... most of the time it goes in one ear and out the other with you....." he commented. "Don't tell me things I already know!" Sky snapped, making Masks flinch. "It's times like these that I see dad in you..... He'll call us when he's ready..... I just wanted to tell you where..... Where.... Where the others couldn't here us" Sky huffed. "And older brother" said Masks as Sky began to walk out. "Yes?" he turned back towards his brother. "Be careful around our cousin, he may be a hero, and my... Time's.... successor..... but he still holds his fathers spirit, whether he knows it or not, he could be dangerous" Sky nodded, and walked back into the streets.
