I opened my eyes.

"Am I alive? I can't be... Whats happening?"

I looked around. The room looked like a blue hospital room. I was laying on a straw bed. There wasn't a pillow. I stood up, only to fall back down. But I was determined. I got to my knees and stood back up. The floor seemed to mock me, telling me to fall back down. I grabbed onto the bedside table and pulled myself up. I took a few steps and fell back down. The floor seemed to laugh. I was near the door now. I crawled to it and grabbed the knob to pull myself up. Just then, a woman who looked like Narayu came in. She laughed.

"I thought I would come see how you are doing."

"Just fine" I stammered.

"Let me help you" She offered me her hand.

"Thanks." She pulled me up with impressive strength which I was jealous of.

"Who are you?"

"You know exactly who I am."

"Narayu?"

"Yes. Your friend, Zelda prayed to me for a safe spirit journey for you."

"Spirit journey?"

"Your transition into the afterlife."

"I can't just die! I need to go back! There must be a way."

She sat me down on my bed and sighed.

"There is one way..."

"Go on!"

"You must pass the three trials and be judged worthy of life by the supreme goddess, Hylia."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"You haven't the strength to pass the trials. You do not even have the stength to walk!"

"I can't just sit here! People are dying and don't have any one to save them!"

"Demise will kill them but he won't waste them. He will use them as slaves and once they are of no use to him then will he kill them."

"There has to be a way to speed up the process!"

"There is..."

"Show me!"

"You dare command a goddess!"

"I apologize... I just need to save my friends. I can't let them die."

"It is alright. I will let it pass this time."

"I will bestow a blessing upon you to allow you to regain your abilities at an increased rate. But! You may not breathe a word of this to Din or Farore. Especially not to Hylia!."

"I swear that I will never tell any one."

She stood up and rose her hands. They started to glow a bright blue color. She then put her hands back at her sides and a ball of the same color floated around her. The ball stopped circling her and she grasped it between her hands. She snapped it in half revealing a four-sided star. It floated for a minutes slowly turning it and waved at it. It slowly came towards my chest.

"I accept your blessing."

My chest absorbed the star.

"Now rest child."

I started to protest but realized I was already on strike one. I lay back in the straw bed and fell asleep.
