Ahem. Excuse me, muse, what is this? Do you seriously think I can update three stories regularly? …You do? Ah well… such is the pre-teen mind.

~Prologue~
Millions of years ago, the land of Hyrule was created by the three golden goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore. Din, the goddess of fire and power, created the red earth. Nayru, the goddess of time and wisdom, poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave law and order to the world. Farore, the goddess of nature and courage, produced the life forms that would inhabit the world her sisters created. And thus the blessed land was born from chaos.
Their work done, the three goddesses returned to the heavens. They left behind a physical embodiment of their power – the golden Triforce. Every few centuries, three people are born with the blessing of the goddesses. The owner of the Triforce of Power would seek to turn the world to darkness, and the Triforces of Wisdom and Courage would combine their strength to steer the world away from destruction. It has been a thousand years since this last happened.
Farore was bored.
Mentally, Farore is the youngest of the three goddesses. She might be physically the youngest as well, but what is a few years to an immortal being? Farore, being the creator of life, was the most interested in the life forms in the land of Hyrule. During the thousand-year peace, she fashioned mortal bodies for herself to interact with her creations. She took on five forms: wolf, for its loyalty and haunting song; hawk, for its bravery and keen eyes; dolphin, for its carefree and playful attitude; fairy, for its renowned role as the Hero of Time's partner; and of course, human. She tried Zora, Gerudo, Kokiri, and even Goron, but the only form Farore took a liking to was Hylian. This story is about Masera(mah-sair-ah), Farore's human form, and the role she takes in the endless cycle of evil versus good.
My sisters Din and Nayru are ecstatic to have a vacation from fighting the dark god Majora. Me? Not so much. To be absolutely truthful, I find it extremely dull. Of course, the peace is only transient, and what is a thousand years to an immortal being? I have borne witness to thousands of peaces, millenniums of war. …But I digress. During this long peace, I decided to make mortal vessels for myself, so that I could interact with my creations. I've made a Hylian body for myself now. The girl is about sixteen years in age, with a slender but strong body. Silver-green hair flows down to a bit below her shoulders, partially covering pointed ears. Peridot green eyes framed by full lashes above forest green birthmarks seem to pierce into the viewer's soul. She's dressed in a loose-fitting white silk shirt and pants, covered by a flowing cloak fastened by a silver brooch adorned with a single large emerald. I look at my creation and smile. I place a forest green hair band with a string of pearls attached to complete the image. Then I inhabit the body I created in my own image, flowing into the skin like water. I slowly become aware of trees and greenery around me. I stand up gracefully. I am far more comfortable in a human shape than an animal one. It is while I am walking out of the forest that I feel that familiar sensation – the sensation of my third of the Triforce blessing a mortal child.
.:Fifteen Years Later:.
For the past fifteen years, I've been watching the receiver of the Triforce of Courage. No, not "watching" as in using sight, but more like... how to describe it? Sensing? When I first found the boy, I was certain that I had made a mistake, for his name was not Link. I consulted my sisters, and they informed me that their Triforces were held by different people as well. This all leads to the fact that I am going to do something absolutely forbidden. I am going to play a role in the fate of this world.
The cycle has changed. Why not the goddesses?
