The Resistance
Chapter Eight
After going through an almost endless tunnel of light, the five friends and Nvidia found themselves in a golden pavilion. Telma gasped at the sight. She had never seen anything so beautiful. She turned around to look at Nvidia, who was no longer a shining green light with all the features of a Hyrulean, but a beautiful, young Hyrulean girl with long, wavy, brown hair and seaweed green eyes. She looked down at herself in amazement.
"I-I-I... haven't aged..." Nvidia gasped. She looked around. "Where are we?" They all wandered around the pavilion in astonishment. This wasn't Hyrule. Sure, Hyrule had it's beauties, but not like this.
When they gathered again, another blinding light filled the pavilion. This time, though, there was no whirring or floating sensation. Instead, when it died down, three female figures were standing before them.
The one on the left had green eyes, the color of a palm leaf. She was wearing a dress that was the same color. She had blonde hair that fell down to her hips. She smiled at them.
The female in the middle had eyes the color of a red rose's petals, she too was wearing a dress the same color. Her hair was red as well. Curly and shoulder-length.
The final woman standing before them had blue eyes, the color of the sky on a beautiful, sunny day. Her dress was a paler blue, more like the sea. Her hair was brown and it came up to the middle of her ribs.
"Welcome," the female on the left said. "I am Farore,"
"You've done well to escape the Dark Realm, not many exit once they are taken away," the female wearing red paused. "I am Din,"
"You five are the prophesied resistance. You will protect the land that we, the Golden Goddesses created," the last one said. "I am Nayru,"
"Ganondorf suspected that you might be a member of the five," Din said, turning to Nvidia. "You have led Hyrule's resistance to us. Thank you,"
"As a reward, we shall return you to the land in which our blessings fall," Farore said. Nayru's eyes fluttered shut and in an instant, Nvidia was gone.
"Now, you must put your skills to the test. You must protect Hyrule from Ganondorf's growing army," Nayru's voice had a tone of urgency.
"We whole-heartedly lend you our strength," Farore smiled at them again.
"Walk forward," they commanded in unison. The five friends stepped forward and found themselves admiring the weapons the Goddesses had prepared for them.
"Take these," Din said, while they handed out a weapon to each of them but Shad. Shad was given a badge.
"They hold our strength and power," Shad looked a little disappointed. Nayru floated to him.
"Your badge holds another power - the power of the four light spirits," she whispered. Shad smiled at her.
"Now go," Din said, opening up a portal. The five friends looked at each other with worry. Were they going to end up in the Dark Realm?
"Don't worry," Farore said, laughing. "You don't think we'd send you back there, do you? It leads to Hyrule,"
The five friends stepped in and soon enough, the whirring and floating sensations returned.
