Epilogue

The long silver blade ran through the wrist of Rauru. The only sage remaining to create his key of time. A small drop of blood ran from the wound and crashed onto the blade. The sword began to shine with such brilliance that even Rauru shielded his eyes. His blood offering to the sword had been completed. The sage of Light had completed his task. He switched the blade from his left hand to his right, pricking his uninjured wrist also. A drop of blood fell from the incision and landed with a dull splash on the light marking that was etched into the floor below Rauru. The other sages standing above their markings that surrounded the Pedestal of Time. Rauru bent down towards the floor. Clenching his hand around a tiny sphere not bigger than a marble that had only a moment ago been his blood. The shard was a smooth yellow color. It's center hollowed out and containing a small hint of light that reflected in the eyes of the other sages. All of whom were holding their shards as well. Pocketing the jewel he rose to face the others. Kaprin the sage of Hope. Barus the sage of Fire. Aruta the sage of water. Zhin the sage of Shadows, Nais the sage of Purity. Avorin the sage of the Spirit. Majora the sage of Death; and Vista the sage of Life. Forming a circle around the Pedestal of Time. The sages raised their hands to the sky; their offering spheres hovering above them.

"For Light", rang Rauru.

"For Hope". spoke Kaprin.

"For Fire", said Barus.

"For Water", exclaimed Aruta.

"For Shadow", whispered Zhin

"For Purity", chimed Nais.

"For Spirit", boomed Avorin

"For Death" called Majora

"For Life" mirrored Vista

Instantly the shards sped off in opposite directions. Rauru, picking the Master Sword up from the ground plunged the blade back into the Pedestal of Time. The ledge around the sages at once began to fill with a silvery blue light. Each of the sages turned to face the light. One by one they stepped into the silvery brilliance that would end their lives and seal the Master Sword and the Triforce in the Sacred Realm forever. Looking over his shoulder one last time at the Master Sword, Rauru stepped into the light and spoke the last words ever sounded in the Sacred Realm.

"No, for Hyrule"
