We, the Sages Six have existed since ancient times in Hyrule, taking many identities throughout the history of this great land. All that we have done has been in the interest of our Goddesses, blood has been shed, lives have been lost, and much has been sacrificed, all for the greater good. However in our attempts to protect this land we made our greatest mistake, one that nearly tore Hyrule asunder.
Hundreds of years before we had shed our mortal shells after being awakened by the Chosen Hero and helped him in his destruction of the King of Evil. We saw the sword created long ago by Hylia, the Master Sword the Blade of Evil's Bane. We realized that a failsafe would be needed if one day a chosen hero chose to forsake his destiny and allow Hyrule to succumb to the forces of evil. The hatred of Demise is evident all around and we sought a way to wipe it out completely.
We created our own blade, one that could be wielded by a sage. With the Sacred Realm out of our reach we instead sought to forge our blade in this so-called World of Light. Our Blade of Sages was forged in the fires on Death Mountain and that fire quenched in Lake Hylia. We sought to temper the steel, plunging the blade into the flames of the mountain three times after. It was quenched in the holy springs of the Light Spirits, Faron, Eldin and Lanayru and thus infused with their divine power.
When our blade was completed we were quite proud of our work. We thought we had created a second Blade of Evil's Bane one that the Sages held all power over. Ruto became our chosen hero, meant to wield our steel against those who carried out the Curse of Hatred and end their breath.
We were fools to think we could defy the goddesses in such a way. After the Hero of Time returned into the past he was able to bring the treachery of Ganondorf to our attention. The Demon surrendered to us and the sacred temple of his people became the execution grounds of the sages. Ganondorf was put on trial, though his guilt was obvious to even the dimmest of mortals. We brought him the very place he had once come to worship his foul Sand Goddess and chained him to an idol of the creature. Ruto drew our blade and in one swift move drove it through him.
And the King of Evil laughed.
Wrenching the blade from his chest he shattered the chains holding him grabbed Ruto by her throat and murdered her. We now realized that Ganondorf had somehow come into possession of the Triforce of Power. Our number reduced to five and our sacred blade corrupted by Demise we sought the only other means available to us, so Hyrule could be rid of the creature.
We had repaired the Gate of Time that had been destroyed ages ago in the original struggle. It now led not through time but through realms, to a land of perpetual twilight. It was into that realm that we cast him as he mocked and threatened us with the sword he had stolen.
Now all we can do is pray that the Goddesses will be forgiving for our treason against them.
