Telepathy

"There is a toxin coating their lances that paralyzes humans. Soon, you'll be unable to move. Before that happens, you must hurry to a fountain."

"A fountain? Where is it?"

Link scanned the area around him. He only found boulders. There wasn't any chance that he would find water of any kind.

"Look in the direction where the sun sets. It's only a short walk from there. It will be near the Dew Tree."

"Great. Fantastic."

Link stood and immediately realized that the control he once had over his body was waning. With how unsteady he was on his feet, there was a chance that he would once again awaken an armos. Dizziness overtook him, and he collapsed. He had no chance of escaping the rocky landscape he found himself in, much less make it to the fountain.

"Pull yourself together!"

"I can't... I can't move my body." Link was face-up on the ground gazing at the cloudy sky. Grey clouds were swirling in the sky. "Just let me rest a little longer. I'll go to the fountain once I've woken up."

"You dummy. If the toxin reaches your heart, you'll die. Now, keep your wits about you and stand up. The fountain isn't that far. Crawl here if you have to. I'm the only one that can cure you of the toxin."

"Then you come here."

"I'm sealed inside the fountain. I can't leave unless you come to its edge and chant the spell."
