She wasn't alone though inside the temple, there were animals and other beings that had returned. There was joy now instead of fear that Jalhalla instilled throughout the walls. Medli smiled as a few pixies fluttered in and about the ivy now engulfing the Master Chamber. The stone of the chamber, and pretty much else where, now looked aged and natural instead of stark and ominous. The large metal spikes once lining the wall had now crumbled leaving rounded nubs resembling opaque pearls embedded in the walls.
Walking into the center of light that shone down from the chamber ceiling, Medli looked up into the blazing sunlight. Shielding her eyes for a moment her thoughts returned to Link. This was the last place she ever saw him, he disappeared as she was playing her Earth Lyric. She remembered how the light engulfed him and lifted him straight up and out, and he was gone. Medli looked down from the light; she hadn't even had a proper goodbye. At the time, time was of the essence and both of them needed to accomplish their tasks. Restoring the Master Sword so Link could defeat Gannon and put an end to all of this. However now looking back, it made her heart ache. She missed having him around, if only to talk to, if only just to come by and say hello.
Sighing, she knew this was the life she agreed to when she came to the Temple. One of the sage's qualities was to be alone and enveloped in your duties so you can concentrate and have your power grow. Stretching her wings, Medli flew out of the chamber and towards the main entrance. Her thoughts still lingering in her past, she made her way outside and into the sun. Landing gently on the sand, she stared out into the ocean just being able to make out the neighboring islands. Setting down, she grabbed her harp and began to call to Laruto. Gently strumming on the strings, the melodic tune was carried on the wind to the spirits.
Feeling the elements wash over her in the open air was a feeling that couldn't be described in her own words, using complete joy and peace in the best description. The breeze swirled around her gathering magical energy to summon Laruto. Opening her eyes, Medli finished the last note to hear the tune echoed back to her from above. Getting back in time, she played once more until her ancestor and master were present.
"…My child, you have a saddened heart…" The voice wafted around and entered Medli's heart filling it with warmth.
"It's nothing much, I am just really missing a good friend of mine." Medli said standing up next to the now physical embodiment of Laruto.
"…There is no need to be shy with me young one, you can tell me of your Link…"
Medli felt the blood rush to her face, there was no hiding anything when someone powerful could read your feelings. Swallowing back her embarrassment, Medli managed to respond. "I would really like to see Link again, I feel like things were left wrong, or incomplete…" Breaking off she turned away from Laruto, if she could really say more she would, but a rather large bubble filled her throat at that moment.
Laruto smiled gently and placed her hand on Medli's shoulder, "…It isn't truly a want, but more of a longing, is it not?…"
Medli looked into Laruto's mystic eyes; there really wasn't a better way to put it. Giving a quick nod of agreement, Medli looked down in part guilt and part sadness. Laruto moved her hand under Medli's chin to raise her eyes. "…Dear child, have faith and the fates will see to set things right…" With that, Laruto faded away back to the spirit realm.
Medli let the ocean breeze dance around her for a while as she was lost in thought. To have faith was all the advice she got, the words filled her head with hope but doubt still lingered in her heart. A few faeries flew out from the temple, Medli forced a smile to them as they whizzed about. Faeries were known to give joy and hope but for now, Medli felt as if no magic could lift the doubt from her heart.
