Din stood, gazing down at the world beneath her. The world of Hyrule had been restored by the warriors, that was blatantly obvious. However... No, it couldn't be.
"You have sensed it too?"
Looking behind her, Din could see her sister Nayru. Her azure eyes gazed into Din's flaming irises with concern as she approached. "Yes. For some reason, it seems like it was simply too easy... Sister, what could this mean?" Din asked. Nayru stood by her, looking down at the vast world as well, "That the gerudo is not dead. Not sealed away. He is only playing possum until the time is right..."
That set Din's arms aflame with rage. The dirty little... "I know what you must be thinking," Nayru said in a completely monotonous voice, "That we should finish him ourselves. That he is a mere mortal. That we are fully capable of handling this... But this is not the case."
Din slowly extinguished her flames, giving her wise sister a puzzling look. What..?
"The gerudo still has your triforce-"
"Don't remind me."
"-and it would put us in danger, Din."
Danger? A mere mortal being a threat to a goddess? "Why would anyone be a threat to us, Nayru?" Din asked rather snidely. That's when Nayru's tone got firm, "Because he is to the point of rivaling even a god, sister."
That got Din to get serious. Nayru never lies. And if what she said was true... "Well, what should we do then? We can't go if you say he can kill us... Hey! What about the warriors?" Din suggested. Those powerful individuals might be able to-
"They are gone."
"... Gone?"
"All of them have somehow disappeared from Hyrule. Even the gerudo's allies. I suspect it is his doing."
Now Din was even more confused. Who in their right mind gets rid of their allies if they were the ones that did so?! Even ones of Power would find that foolhardy. Unless... "Has he become that strong already?" Din asked, trying to keep her voice from cracking. "Yes, Din. It pains me to even think of it... However, I have devised an alternative," Nayru explained, "After searching, I have found a way to bring back the warriors. To bring them back... And fight as one."
"But, Nayru! These are both evil and good! How in the world will they cooperate?"
"Trust me, Din. I will be back. And... Don't tell Faore. She is the courage of all people and if she is worried, then the world will be fearful."
Din watched as her sister vanished in a blue light, uneasy of what she had just heard. Unbelievable... The monster of the desert has returned...
Right when the flowers were beginning to recover from the war, too.
Daniel Trudeau: A junior in high school and a proclaimed genius from forty eight states. Some might say he has everything. Others say he's a fraud.
Both are not true.
"DANIEL!" his father would usually call, "GET DOWN HERE AND DO YOUR LESSONS!"
The "lessons" included piano, annunciation, cooking, foreign languages, diplomatic skills, and various advanced courses for his homeschooled career. In short, he was destined to be president in his father's views. This view was what made Daniel's mother leave them... Now he was alone with nothing but his father and his mantis shrimp. In all, he had no friends other than that fish (who was a good listener to be honest).
The only lesson Daniel liked was his "independent study" lesson in his room. It gave him time to do what he wanted to. Think about the world, talk to his mantis shrimp, pretend as if it could talk back... Just like what he had heard of with friends outside of his home.
His father says pretending is immature for him however. "Someone as gifted and extraordinary as you, my son, shouldn't play pretend. If you wish to be what it is that you are preparing to be, then stop this nonsense and act as the prodigy that you are!"
"There's a flaw in that statement, though. You probably know, right?" Daniel said to his shrimp. It stared blankly at him, which he filled in as, 'But of course. Many prodigies weren't perfect, Daniel.'
Daniel grinned, "Yes, like Albert Einstein and Mozart. If my father thinks I should be a Beethoven, then he'll have to pretend that I will be."
He imagined the mantis shrimp laughing with him. 'So, Daniel,' he made his shrimp say, 'You're almost eighteen. Soon you'll get to move out with me, right?'
Daniel nodded.
'Are you sure your father won't keep you even afterwards? I'd hate to see that...'
Daniel didn't reply for a a good five minutes. "It's getting late. See you in the morning," he finally said, walking to his bed. As if on cue, his mantis shrimp skittered into the underwater cave in its tank. Once he got situated, he swore he heard something... Not his mantis shrimp, but something else not created by his imagination. "Hello? Is... Anyone there?" Daniel called into the darkness of his room.
"... Yes."
Suddenly a bright blue light illuminated his room, revealing a figure in the middle. Once the light died down, the thing was giving off its own blue light. Daniel rubbed his eyes to wipe away the light from his eyes (and to see if this were real), then looked back. He couldn't see the blue light anymore... Only a woman glowing a beautiful azure. She smiled at him, understanding his situation, "Hello, Daniel. I am Nayru. Goddess of Wisdom. As I thought, you look slightly like him..."
"Wha-!"
"What am I talking about? Daniel, you are the counterpart of a warrior in a land far away. Farther then you will ever know," Nayru said. Daniel couldn't speak...
He felt faint...
"... I guess the direct approach isn't a very good idea. Might as well take him while he's still unconscious."
