Water caressed his body. His shoulders and back weren't bleeding anymore. The wound in his chest had healed. Dimitri could hear a voice, leading him out of the darkness. It was her voice; bringing him back from the brink of death.

"Please, Dimitri. Wake up." Her voice could heal a man's soul alone. With his eyes closed, Dimitri reached out for her. He felt a hand intertwining its fingers with his. The hand lifted his up and he felt it go against her cheek. He felt moisture where her tears had fallen. "You are the only one I have shed tears for, Dimitri. Please come back to me. Come back to this world."

Dimitri opened his eyes, fighting to keep them open. The light enveloped him as he lay in a shallow pool of water. The heavenly woman with turquoise wings sat next to him and was leaning over him. She looked down on him with forlorn eyes as he recuperated. His strength was quickly returning though he wasn't quite so sure why. He was soon able to sit up.

"I have brought you to my dwelling in the Gerudo Desert." She stood up with him. She put her arms around him and kissed his collarbone. "I promised to always watch over you."

"…who are you? You've never told me…" Dimitri put his arms around her. He remembered exactly how she felt against him from before and didn't want to let go of her.

"No… I haven't. I should have but I didn't think it was time for you to know…" She let more tears fall. "The ancient peoples called me Creina. I am well known throughout this time as the Great Fairy of Hyrule. It is my duty to protect the essence and spirit of Hyrule and to ensure the safety of the Triforce. I'm not supposed to intervene in the lives of any being in this land. But I broke the sacred law and spared you those years ago. Even gave you the strength to kill the ones who gave birth to you."

"And I'm glad you did. I wouldn't have made it so far without what you did for me. I am truly grateful." Dimitri spoke quietly in her ear.

"I forced you to take the weight of this kingdom on your shoulders for when I am unable to come to its aid… I never should have pushed any of this on you. I chose you to inherit the triforce of power from Ganon. I implanted the memories of everything that had happened into your mind while you were away. Everything is my fault." Her shoulders began to shake. "I'm so sorry for everything I've done. But I knew that I would be powerless in the coming times…"

"Please don't cry." Dimitri wiped her tears away. "I hate to see beautiful women cry."

Dimitri found himself being attracted to the deity. She was so beautiful and her body was perfect. She pressed against him and he savored how she tasted when they had kissed.

"You've always been the chivalrous kind, Dimitri. And that's one of the things about you…" The Great Fairy trailed off, pulling herself slightly back to look into Dimitri's eyes. He felt himself being lost in her tranquil blue eyes. "That's caused me to fall in love with you over the years…"

"What?" Dimitri felt that he had misheard.

"I love you Dimitri…" She pushed her lips against his again, causing them to fall back again.

Dimitri couldn't believe what was happening. He admitted that he did have feelings for her and that as he'd thought about it, the romantic feelings were there. But he never thought anything would come of it. He had longed for this and he was actually getting it. He would take advantage of it and enjoy it.

His mind was far from the conflicts and problems of Hyrule as he rolled the divine being over, now on top of her. She longingly looked up at him as he held himself over her.

"I guess now isn't the time for this…" Dimitri looked away from her.

"I guess it isn't." The Great Fairy said, disappointed. She sat up as Dimitri turned away from her, his back to her. She moved to him and wound her arms underneath his. She embraced him from behind and her cheek sat between his broad shoulders. Dimitri placed his hands on top of hers clasped around his scarred chest.

This was the peace that Dimitri had longed for. To have someone that loved him, someone who wouldn't die at his hands or he would have to be responsible for their safety. He wanted a quiet setting with little to no people. This was what he had been searching for. He found himself losing the resolve to keep fighting as he had been.

"I don't want to leave you. I don't care what happens to Hyrule. I don't want to leave your side." Dimitri prolonged their embrace.

"You must save Hyrule… Zelda and Link also needs your help." She hugged him even tighter. "If Hyrule is lost, so are we."

"What do you mean?" Dimitri whispered.

"Without Hyrule, the triforce would be destroyed, killing you, Link, and Zelda. If the triforce is gone, I will no longer exist." She explained, moving around in front of him. He looked into her alluring eyes. "I don't want to lose you."

"I sure as hell don't want to lose you either." Dimitri kissed her.

"You should go through the Arbiter's Grounds to get to the mirror chamber. I sensed that Ashei, Shad, and Auru are already there." She told him. "I'll continue to watch over you, Dimitri. But you must go now. I'll teleport you to the desert above."

"I love you, Dimitri." She disappeared and he emerged from the water and light into the desert. The sun was beating down on him.

"And I love you…" His eyes adjusting to the blinding radiance. He spent about five minutes standing in the heat, getting his mind right. He had to kill all of those that stood in his way and stop this madness.

He repeated what he had told her, and then began walking toward his destination, miles away.
