"So," he said, his voice echoing in my mind. "You finally figured out my pennant."

"Yes," I replied, my voice also echoing. "I don't understand, though."

"What do you not understand?"

"How can this work? Magic?"

"Ha-Ha, no. Technology."

He held out his hand, and a glowing green ball appeared.

"I am not human anymore," he said sadly, and he closed his fist and looked at the ground. "Not since my dad…"

"Killed you?"

He jerked his head up and jumped back. "How did you… I've never…"

"Simple. You told Link. Link told me."

He sat on the ground, legs crossed like a kindergartner. "Link was the only one in Termina who was kind to me. Everyone else took one look at me and ran. Link was different." He jumped up. "I will show you."
