It all began the day one boy went to meet destiny. Minutes after touching the Master sword everything changed. The door to the Sacred Realm was opened and the Tri-Force carved out the paths of Fate in an unexpected way.

It has been seven years and the lone occupant of a very sacred chamber is all aquiver with anticipation. Well about as aquiver as an old man can manage without a nervous breakdown. His only other visitor in an otherwise boring nigh eternal existence of utter boredom has been all he has had to look forward to in what would be millennia since anything has happened that involved him so...he's a bit eager to see what's about to happen.

"Where am I?"

Contemplating this for seven years...he clears his throat before speaking. "You are in the Chamber of Sages."

"What?"

In his musings of this moment that response had been the one he had not planned for. He had been ready for wonderment and amazement, not a cranky boy rubbing his eyes and frowning at him like he's an annoying rooster. This place is a product of legend and so is he but...'what'? It's an insult but he stomachs it as best he can. "The Chamber of Sages." He repeats. "That's where you are now."

"Okay..." The boy shakes off a half decade of bed cramps and looks around. "I'm not even going to bother asking what that's supposed to mean. Who are you?"

"I am Rauru, the Sage of Light."

"That explains the blinding...can you tone that down? I mean really, I just woke up."

The light has been consistent and all-revealing for as long as the chamber has existed but he could tell the boy wasn't interested in hearing that. Swallowing another mouthful of pride he makes the chamber less hard on maladjusted eyes and shakes his head slightly. This has started off rather badly but he's willing to salvage it.

"Thanks Rowdu."

"Rauru."

The boy rubs his eyes again, blinks rapidly then opens them fully. "Obviously this isn't a bedroom and I can hardly breathe with this shirt so tight around me...how long have I been asleep?"

The observation powers of the child turned man have not escaped the luminescent magician. Maybe there is still hope for Hyrule yet. If he can watch this person be entrusted with the welfare of the entire kingdom he can cope with this attitude for a few more minutes. It seems like a small boon to the goddesses considering what all he's asked them for and what is riding on it. It just feels like such a chore.

"Hey...you listening over there, old timer?"

"Yes, yes..." He clips his tongue before replying again. "It has been seven years since you were sealed here in the Chamber of Sages."

"Seven years?"

"Yes."

"In here?"

"Yes."

"With you?"

"Yes you annoying brat, would you like me to explain why that is?"

"Well I mean seven years locked up with another guy..."

"Be quiet and listen! The King of Evil is not going to give you a chance to run your mouth!"

"Well it's just a little bit...weird you know? I mean really."

Even though being an immortal extra-dimensional being normally engenders a certain level of patience it is a very brittle thing as being tested on an irregular basis you do not have the mindset to handle that of a teenage boy who has no concept of manners or tact. Even with this in mind he feels he has been more than generous and when he tosses Link out of the Chamber he can't help but feel like good riddance to bad rubbish in spite of the fact that he failed to brief the pain in the behind about the state of the kingdom.

"Let him find out for himself."
