I woke up a few days later. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Another woman slightly taller than Narayu walked through the door.

"Hello, Link."

"What's up?"

"I came to see how you were doing. Narayu said you were doing well and I came yesterday but you were asleep. How are you feeling?"

"Not bad. Where are we?"

"We are in the Sacred Realm."

"Never heard of it."

"Speak with respect to a goddess!"

"What is the Sacred Realm?"

"The goddess' domain and the entrance to the spirit realm."

"Narayu mentioned a way to avoid going to the spirit realm. I think she said trials."

"I must go"

I stood up and grabbed her arm.

"What are the trials?"

"I have to leave!"

"Please! Please tell me! I can't leave my friends to die!" She sighed.

"Ask Farore. I will ask her to come for you."

I sat down on the bed. After about ten minutes I saw a ball on the bedside table and started to bounce it against the floor to bounce it to the wall and back to me. I made a game out of it. The object was to pick a spot to land it in or at. You would bounce it on the floor and off the wall. It was difficult. I only made my goal a few times.

A woman shorter than Narayu came in.

"I suppose you are Farore."

"Yes. I suppose you are the one who wants to take the three trials."

"I am and the faster I do the better."

"You need time to recover."

"I'm ready for the trials!"

"You probably can't even walk."

I stood up and walked around the room.

"Can you still use a sword?"

"Of course!"

I tried to summon the Master Sword. Nothing happened. I tried it again. Nothing happened.

"What happened to the Master Sword?"

"It was destroyed by Demise."

"But I thought it was undestructible."

"With no hero to wield it, the Master Sword had no power. We weren't able to protect it because it wasn't in its pedestal."

"Protect it? Against what?"

"Demise was able to use his sword to absorb its power and destroy the blade. This should do." She unhooked the green sheath at her belt and handed it to me.

"Where's the sword?"

"It is a blessed sheath, each goddess' blessing will grant it more power enhancing the sword. No blessings have been granted so there is no sword"

"Farore, would you do me the honor of blessing this sheath?"

"Kneel." I did as she said. I held up the sheath in my hands and offered it to her. She took it in her hands and threw it in the air.

"I Farore" The sheath started to spin.

"Bless this sheath" It started to spin faster.

"So that its power may one day be used to vanquish Demise!" It stopped spinning and fell to the floor and disappeared. Where the sheath had disappeared, a pedestal appeared. It was holding a pale green sword with a dark green hilt.

"You may pick up the sword." I did as she said. As soon as I did the pedestal disappeared and the sheath rose out of the ground. I slung the sheath over my back.

"Do not yet sheathe your sword."

"Why not?"

"Do not question the motives of a goddess!"

"I apologize."

"You must know that your blade is known as the Sword of Courage. Carry it always."

"I will."

"You may have today to rest. Report to the main hall to recieve your first trial in the morning."

She left and I lay down on the bed. I set the sword down by the bed and slept.
