We hurry to Kakariko village and most of the houses are on fire, including Impa's house... the place I spent most of my time the past seven years...

"Pura! I think I see Sheik over there!" Link said, I can barely see with all of the smoke, but sure enough Sheik was standing at the top of the stairs that lead to the dried up well. We run over to him and he throws up his hand to motion us to stop.

"Get back!" Sheik yelled as the top of the well fly's up into the air. Sheik began to float in the air as if something is tossing him and is thrown around rapidly then crashes down the stairs.

"Sheik!" I yell running over to him, I can feel an evil presence looming over the town, and Link pulls out the Master Sword prepared to fight.

"Link, stop!" Sheik cry's out as Link is violently thrown against a wall and he collapses, I run over to Link and cast Nayru's love to protect us after about an hour passes the evil presence goes away. I pull down Nayru's love falling over from using my magic for too long.

"Pura..." Sheik said struggling to sit up

"Don't move, I'll heal you." I said

"Save your strength for the hero of time." Sheik said, his way of saying to heal Link first. I turn over and heal Links wound's but he's still unconscious. I stand up and walk over to Sheik,

"Please let me heal you," I said kneeling down next to him.

"You also need to rest, I'll be fine." He argued,

"I can rest after I heal that cut on your head." I said reaching for his head and he lets out a sigh, I start to heal his wound but he keeps his eyes on Link, "Afraid he'll wake up?" I said

"No... He was knocked around pretty good," Sheik said

"So were you." I said finishing up. I stand up and walk back over to Link and we wait for him to come to.

"That was close!" Navi said "Pura your magic is amazing!" she said

"Thanks," I said as Link sits up

"Looks like you're coming around," Sheik said as he helps Link to his feet. For some reason I feel a pain in my chest, one I haven't felt before.

"What was that?" Link said sounding a little disoriented.

"A terrible thing has happened, the evil shadow spirit has been released." Sheik explained,

"Shadow spirit?" I said

"Impa had sealed the evil shadow spirit in the bottom of the well. But the force of the evil spirit got so strong the seal of the well broke and has escaped into the world! I believe Impa has gone to the shadow temple to seal it again, but... she will be in danger without any help... Link, Impa is one of the six sages, Destroy the evil spirit and save Impa."

"Impa is a sage?" I said surprised, why was I not told this...

"There is an entrance to the shadow temple beneath the graveyard behind the village. But first you must travel back in time to get something from the Well." Sheik said

"Pura, let's go." Link said but I don't follow after him

"I can't go with you..." I said

"What? Why not?" he asked

"You're the only one that can travel through time... and I can't wait for you at the temple of time... It's too close to Ganon's castle. It's not safe there." I said

"But I can't just leave you here!" Link said

"I'll protect her," Sheik said "She is safe with me you have my word." Sheik said but Link didn't look convinced, I could tell from his eyes he still doesn't trust Sheik, then he looks at me with a worried look,

"I... I don't want anything to happen to you..." he said

"I know, Sheik seems capable and it'll only feel like a few minutes to us so don't worry about it so much." I said

"Alright... I'm counting on you Sheik, keep her safe." He said climbing up onto Epona's back and quickly riding off.

"Sheik," I start but he quickly stops me,

"Not now, our first priority is stopping the fire," Sheik said, "Do you have enough energy to call upon a rain storm?" he asked

"Yes," I said pulling out my flute and I start to play the song of storms and it begins to rain.

"Good job," Sheik said

"About the letter..." I said

"I'm still looking into it, once I know more information I'll let you know." he said

"Okay..." I said as he puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eye,

"This is a long shot so please try not to get too excited," he said

"I'll try..." I said as the flames die down to just smoke and we start to pick up some of the debris when Link comes back.

"How is everything?" Link asked jumping down from Epona's back,

"All good, Sheik helped me," I look over where Sheik was but he was gone, "Where'd he go?" I said looking around,

"Leaving a woman to do the heavy work." Link grunted and I try not to giggle since technically Sheik is Zelda. "I'll help," he said and we quickly finish up.

"Ready to head to the Shadow temple?" I asked

"After you get some rest," Link said

"I'm fine," I said

"You haven't stopped this entire time... you even let me sleep the entire night..." he said looking worried "I might not be as good at reading people as you are but I can still tell when someone is at their limit." Link said

"Okay, we'll rest." I said and we make camp and I get a good night's rest.

My dreams have always been something to avoid... Dark and terrible, most of the time my dreams have something to do with being pulled into darkness... Or Ganondorf coming after me. Tonight was no different. I was in Hyrule field when the land starts to be consumed by darkness, I start to run away from is but the darkness quickly catches up to me and I'm dragged into the darkness. I jolt up scaring Link and Navi,

"Everything Okay?" Link asked

"Yeah... just a nightmare..." I said, my heart was racing.

"Take a breath, you're awake now." Link said walking over and sitting next to me, "What happened?" he asked

"I... I was in Hyrule field... the darkness... it... it took... everything..." I said

"Do you have dreams like this a lot?" Link asked

"Every time I close my eyes..." I said and Link looks at me shocked, "I think the Goddesses are sending me a warning of what might happen if we lose... "

"But we're not going to lose," Link said, "As long as we're together we can do anything." he smiles.

"Yeah," I said standing up, "Let's go save Impa!" I said holding out my hand and pulling Link to his feet.

"Oh! I never showed you this," he pulls out a strange magnifying glass, "It's called the lens of truth, it can show hidden secrets like walls that are actually hidden doors and stuff." he said

"That'll be really handy in a temple full of shadows," I said

"Let's go!" he said as we head over to the graveyard and head inside the shadow temple. The first room had a strange devise and we easily figured out that it opened as door but the door was across a ravine that was too far to jump or use the hookshot to get across.

"I could use my magic." I suggested

"Hang on I think one of these walls is fake," he said pulling out the lens of truth and walks over to a wall and walks through it.

"Link!" I said surprised then his heap pops out

"What?" he asked looking like he was just a floating head…

"That's freaky..." I said as I walk in after him then and the ground nearby are a pair of strange boots. "What are those?" I asked

"They're the legendary hover boots! You can walk midair for a short while" Navi explained

"Looks like you don't have to waste your energy." Link said as we exit the secret room he takes off his boots then puts on the hover boots. "Let's try them out and he walk out off the ledge and it looks like he's walking on nothing. "Cool!" he said coming back over,

"I'd rather use my magic..." I said

"These are magic," he said sweeping me off my feet and walking us over to the other side,

"Again with the no asking!" I blush

"Sorry, but you look so cute when you're embarrassed," he laughs putting me down

"Let's just save Impa..." I said looking away from him. I walk forward to see a ghost pop out from one wall and disappear into another,

"Creepy..." Link said

"L... let's get this over with quickly..." I said

"Are you scared," Link asked

"No!" I protest turning back around but there was a ghost right in my face, I jump back and scream then grab onto Link.

"I got you," he said grabbing my hand,

"Thanks..." I blush avoiding his eyes. Then we continue our way through the corridors avoiding ghosts and other monsters. After some time has passed we make it to a room with a deep hole in the middle of the floor.

"That looks like a bad idea..." I said

"Can you get us down there safely?" Link asked

"I can try," I said casting Farore's wind then we jump down. The hole was very deep and I was almost at my limit but we manage to make it to the bottom. When we land on the ground something doesn't feel right... the ground itself felt weird...

"What is this?" Link asked also noticing that the ground was strange, then we hear a sound that is familiar to a drum then the ground beneath us jumps and I'm thrown off balance and I fall over. Links hover boots keep him floating above the platform so he wasn't caught off balance, "Are you alright?"

"I think so," I said and he helps me up, then the floor below us lights up a bit. We see two giant hands on the ground in front of us, one of them floats in the air then slams on the ground creating the drum sound again and the vibrations cause me to lose my balance again but Link grabs hold of me before I fall over.

"We're on a giant drum!" I said as we see the rest of the monster hanging from the ceiling,

"I can't fight it and help you at the same time…" Link said and an idea comes to mind

"Give me your bow," I said and Link hands me the fairy bow, "Now pick me up!" I said and he lifts me just before the other hand smashes into the ground.

"Oh, I get it!" Link said since his hiver boots keep him afloat and I can use the bow while he carries me, "Navi what's his weakness?" Link asks

"It's eye!" she said pointing out the large eye on the body hanging above us. I aim at the eye and enhance the arrow with fire and wind and then I shoot it right in the eye and in catches on fire and falls down, Link quickly puts me down and deals the finishing blow killing the monster and reducing it to ash.

"I sear this is getting easier," Link laughs, and we're sent back to the sacred realm and Impa appears in front of us.

"The boy with the noble heart... As I expected, you have come... And you Pura," she looks at me with a smile. "Thank you," she looks back at Link, "The last time I saw you, you were just a lad; now I see you have become a fine hero... There is nothing to worry about... The princess is safe."

"Can you tell me where she is" Link asked

"No... But soon you'll meet princess Zelda face to face, and she will explain everything... That is when we the six sages, will seal up the evil king and return peace to Hyrule. "She said

"Impa..." I said looking sad knowing I wasn't going to see her again...

"You are so brave Pura, But your part in this story will soon be revealed, but don't be afraid," she said and I nod, "I have to stay here... you go to princess Zelda's side and protect her on my behalf. Take this medallion and save the world Link." she said handing him the coin then we leave the sacred realm. "Please look out for the princess." we hear Impa's voice as we arrive back in the graveyard outside of Kakariko Village.

"Just one more sage to free... then we get to see Zelda." Link said looking excited.

"The last sage is the sage of spirit. I believe the spirit temple is located somewhere in the Gerudo desert." I explained,

"Then there's no time to lose!" Link said with a fire in his eyes, we head back to Kakariko village then climb on Epona and head to the Gerudo desert.

After a few hours we finally make it the ravine dividing Hyrule field and the Gerudo desert, but I can see from a few miles away something was wrong.

"Link, the bridge's out! We'll have to stop and cross on our own." I said as Epona starts to gain speed then she jumps and clears the gap between the ravines.

"You were saying?" he said with a grin

"Shut up," I laugh letting out a sigh, still in awe at what just happened, I look around us, tall cliffs surrounded the area. I notice a woman wrapped in heavy clothes sitting on the side of the road... she looks like she's upset, "Hang on Link..." I said as we both climb down from Epona and I start to walk towards her, "Are you alright ma'am?" I asked and the closer I got I could start to hear her cry,

"Pura... Something feels off," Link said walking behind me, I stop then pay closer to the woman's cry... it wasn't a cry at all... she's laughing...

"It's a trap!" I said as Gerudo Women jump down from the cliff sides blocking us from Epona, there we're so many of them, they even had archers pointing at us from above.

"Time to die hero!" one of them said shooting an arrow but Link didn't realize from what direction he was being shot at.

"Look out!" I knock him out of the way and start to cast Nayru's love on me but before I could finish the cast I feel a sharp pain as the arrow pierces me in the left shoulder.

"Pura!" Link yells as I feel the pain start to overwhelm me. My body starts to feel numb as I start to fall backwards but Link catches me, "Pura! Hang on!" he said with fear in his eyes, I should see the Gerudo swarm around us.

"Link... run..." I said with the last of my strength and everything went black.
