It was the same as before. There was darkness all around Christy, with nothing in front of her, or behind her. She knew exactly what this meant. She was dreaming again.

"Christy," a female voice called to the girl in the blackness. The voice sounded similar to the other two voices she heard, but different as well. "I have something I need to tell you. Are you willing to listen?"

Christy was tempted to ask who was speaking to her, but knew she would get the same answer as before. Instead, she nodded and said, "I'm listening."

"Good. You are in the Castle Town Inn now. There is a temple near the town called the Temple of Time. That is your next destination."

Christy was about to ask why she had to go to the Temple of Time, but it didn't take her long to figure it out. "Is there a Sage waiting for me at the Temple?"

"Yes, that's right," the voice said to Christy. "You must be careful when you go to the Temple. Ganon's soldiers are all over town, looking for you."

Christy's eyes fluttered open, seeing a wooden roof above her head. She was lying down on a nice bed, with a warm blanket covering her body, and a soft pillow under her head. Slowly, she sat up, wondering how she ended up there.

There wasn't much in the room besides the bed she was sitting on. There was a shelf in the far corner of the room, a clock shaped like an owl on the opposite wall, which was no longer ticking, and a wooden table beside the bed. Christy smiled a little when she found the Book of Elisu on the table. She immediately picked up the book, and set it in her lap.

The door to the room creaked opened and Princess Zelda walked inside. She smiled in relief. "Oh, good. You're awake."

Christy smiled back at the Princess. "Zelda. It's good to see you again." Christy admitted to herself that she missed not having Zelda and Link around. "Can you answer something for me?"

"Of course."

"How did we end up here?" Christy asked, her voice filled with confusion. "I thought that we were at a dead end back at the castle."

The Princess giggled, understanding Christy's confusion. "It may have looked like a dead end. But, there is a hidden passageway there. You have to push in one of the stones to open it. It leads all the way to this building. It's vacant now, because anyone who lived in Castle Town are either slaves of Ganon, or managed to flee to Kakariko Village."

"I see," Christy said sadly, thinking about the villagers that once lived in this town. She wished there was something she could do to help them.

"Link carried you despite his wound," Zelda continued with a little smile.

Christy looked up at Zelda in surprise. "Link carried me? Even though he was wounded?"

"Yes, he did," Zelda said with a nod. "He knew we had to get away, and you know he doesn't care about his own safety. I bandaged his wound and it's healing nicely."

Christy gave the Princess a look of puzzlement. "What about the red potion you brought?"

"We gave it to a badly wounded Zora at Zora's Domain. We headed that way because we thought that's where you were," Princess Zelda explained, a look of worry crossing her face. "The Zora said his name was Mitoko."

"Mitoko?" Christy asked, her eyes widening in fear.

"Yes. He said he tried to protect you, but Ganon's men defeated him and captured you." Zelda saw the worry in Christy's eyes, and she gave the girl a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about Mitoko, Christy. With the potion we gave him, and the other Zoras looking over him, he should be fine."

"And Zora's Domain? What happened there?"

The Princess' eyes saddened, and she looked to the wooden floorboards underneath her feet. "The water is all frozen, and the caverns are colder than it should be."

"That's awful," Christy said sadly, looking down at the Book of Elisu. "When I was there, there was rushing water. Children were playing. It had not be touched by Ganon's magic. And now..."

"Oh, you shouldn't blame yourself, Christy," Zelda said quickly, sensing the feelings in the other girl's heart. "Ganon's power would have reached Zora's Domain sooner or later. I'm sure we can help the Zoras in time. For now we should focus on finding the sages and the Triforce pieces."

As Zelda said that, Christy remembered her dream and the voice within it. She looked up into the Princess' eyes. "I think I know where to find a Sage."

"You do?"

"Yes. I heard a voice in a dream when I was sleeping. She said to go to the Temple of Time."

A frown crossed Zelda's face and she crossed her arms. "That will be difficult. The Temple of Time is on the other side of town. And there are soldiers all over the place. I'm not sure if we can get passed them all."

Christy allowed herself a small smile, as an idea formed in her mind. She could use the Book of Elisu. And she knew just the spell. The one she used on a certain female thief. "I know what we can do." She beckoned the Princess with her hand.

Zelda gave Christy a confused look, but walked over to the side of the bed. She bent down so Christy could whisper in her ear. With each word Christy said, the Princess' smile grew. "That just might work. I'll go get Link and Avalon while you get ready."

Christy couldn't help a look of concern as Zelda headed for the door. "I don't mind if Avalon is coming, but shouldn't Link rest?"

"That's what I would say," Zelda agreed with a shrug of her shoulders. "But, do you think he will listen to me?"

The plan seemed to work for the most part. Christy hoped that she could put all the soldiers to sleep, by using the spell that she used at the thieves hideout. It worked on a few of them, but Christy could only put two asleep at a time. Thanks to the power of the Water Sage, some of the spells were stronger than they were before. But, it was not enough. Many times, the soldiers found them. They battled as quickly as they could, so they wouldn't alert the other guards.

Christy had no idea how long it took, but they finally made it to the other side of town, and stood before the Temple. "That was not the way I planned it," Christy said, putting a hand to her chest.

"There's nothing to worry about." Link grinned as he looked in Christy's direction. "We made it here just fine."

"Still, we need to be careful when we leave," Zelda replied, as she walked up to the young man's side. "It might not be as easy as it was this time."

Avalon, getting impatient, flew ahead of the other three. "Come on! Let's go!"

Not wanting to keep the fairy waiting, the three followed the purple fairy into the temple. The inside of the Temple of Time was light, thanks to the torches on the wall. The floor was covered in white and black checkered tiles, with a red carpet in the center. At the end of the carpet was an alter, with green, red and blue jewels floating over it. There was a pathway behind the alter, and above it was a picture of the Triforce. Christy could not help a look of surprise. Other than the torches on the walls, the Temple of Time looked exactly like the temple did in the game!

Before any of the four could speak, another voice called out to them. "I have been expecting you, Elisu Sorceress. Come to me."

Christy was the first to move as she walked past the alter, and into the pathway. The other three followed after the girl. They entered a circular room at the end of the pathway. There was a pedestal in the middle, but there was nothing in it. Standing in front of it was an old man, covered in yellow robes, with red markings. He was completely bald, and had a long white moustache.

The man smiled when he looked at Christy, and found that the Book of Elisu was tucked under her left arm, as usual. "Welcome, Elisu Sorceress. I am Rauru, the Sage of Light. I've been waiting for you ever since the Goddesses told me you were coming."

"The Goddesses?" Christy asked, her eyes wide. It was then she remembered the three voices that she heard earlier. They sounded alike, but were different as well. She realized that the three Goddesses, the ones who created this world, had been talking to her.

"Yes. They told me to add power to your book when you arrived." With this, Rauru walked up to her, and held out his hand. In understanding, she handed the Book of Elisu over to him.

As Princess Ruto did, Rauru closed his eyes, and concentrated his energy into the book. Like before, a light shined around the sage, only this time, it was yellow instead of blue. Christy felt the same peaceful feeling she did before from this light. After a couple of minutes, the light faded away and Rauru gave the book back to Christy. As before, there was a small change to the book's cover. Above the blue water drop was a yellow beam of light.

"Thank you for your help, Rauru," Zelda said politely, bowing her head out of respect for the man. "We should be going now."

"Hold on," Rauru said, holding up one of his hands. "There is something else the Elisu Sorceress must do while she is here." He looked in Christy's direction, a serious expression on his face. "There is someone who has been waiting to meet you, Elisu Sorceress. Now that the power of two sages are in the Book of Elisu, you can meet him. The spell you must use should be on the final page."

Link and Zelda eyed each other as Christy turned the Book of Elisu over, and opened the back cover. Unlike the other pages of the Book of Elisu, there was no picture. There was only words in the center of the page. The girl looked up in Rauru's eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Very sure."

Deciding to trust the old man, Christy looked back at the page and read the spell out loud. "Hitona vakata alani!"

After Christy said the final word to the spell, a flash of light filled the chamber, as if a deku nut had been thrown to the ground. When the light subsided, Christy was nowhere to be found!

"Hey!" Avalon cried, looking frantically around the chamber. "Where did Christy go?!"

"Do not worry about Christy," Rauru told the three in a calm voice. "I've been told by the Goddesses that Christy will be back. Until then, we will wait for her."

"If you say so," Zelda said, with a hint of worry in her voice. "I hope she'll be okay."

"She'll be fine," Rauru assured the Princess. A look of seriousness filled the Sage's face again. "However, I've sensed something in her heart the moment I saw her. She is afraid that someone will be hurt again because of her. I think she is planning on going alone with the purple fairy."

"What?!" Link cried, his blue eyes widening. "Are you sure about that?!"

"It's a guess on my part," Rauru told the Hyalian boy. "I'm not completely sure."

"Why?" Zelda asked, her worry growing. "Why would she do that?"

Rauru turned his back on the Princess. "You should ask her yourself when she comes back."
