I immediately got a warning from Navi the moment I stepped into the next room.

"Watch for the shadows of monsters that hang from the ceiling." She said grimly.

"What? What are you talking about?" I asked her, looking up at the ceiling anxiously.

"There are these things called 'wallmasters'." Navi explained. "They drop from the ceiling and grab you then take you back to where you started! Look for its shadow; it will get bigger as it gets closer. Then kill it before it gets you!"

Before I could answer, I heard a swooshing sound. I looked down at my feet and noticed that my shadow was getting bigger. I scrambled around the room, but it followed my every move. Just before it landed I noticed the shadow had stopped moving, but only for a second. I took this opportunity to roll out of the way. I turned around to see a giant, dark hand crawling towards me. I quickly pulled out my sword and sliced at the wallmaster. It took a lot more hits than I thought it would, but it finally collapsed and died.

I took this opportunity of brief safety to view my surroundings. On the floor was a big red carpet with a torch beside it. There was also a big metal grate blocking a big hole in the floor, the only way out was past it, however. I needed to find a way to the other side- there was a door I had to get through. I noticed that there was multiple silver rupees scattered around the room.

"What's up with the silver rupees? I've never seen those kinds before." I remarked.

"Usually what happens with Link and me is when you collect all in a room something happens." Navi told me.

I nodded my head in agreement. I grabbed all the rupees on and around the grate - almost missing one behind the torch. Once I picked them up, the metal grate fell down, creating a bridge for me to cross. Ignoring the multiplekeese that flew around on this side of the room; I crossed the bridge and went into the next area.

Or I would have liked to, if Navi didn't stop me.

"Use the deku sticks to carry the fire from the torch that's on fire to the torches that's not on fire! You could get something useful!" Navi said, quickly and enthusiastically.

"W-what?" I said, startled by her sudden excitement. "Okay...?" I did as she asked.

Sure enough, once the torches were lit, a small chest appeared on the red carpet. I walked over to find there was a small key inside.

"Oh. That could be important. Thanks Navi!" I said to her as I made my way out of the room.

After I went through the door I noticed that we where in the same room as the beginning. We had come full circle.

"Well, no other way to go but in that hole." I said to myself, not realizing I had said it out loud.

I got on my hands and knees and entered. On the other side of the hole there was a small set of stairs and a locked door. I used the small key I almost missed in the previous room to open it. The next room had a bigclimbable wall with a spider on it.

"Does that have a name too, Navi?" I asked her, pointing to the spider.

"Yeah, it's called a Skullwalltula. Be careful not to touch it!" She answered.

I made a confused face at the strange name, and I tried to say it. "...Skullawalltalala?"

I heard a giggle from Navi. "Yeah, that's it." She said. I think she was using sarcasm, but I couldn't really tell. I just assumed that was the right pronunciation and climbed the wall.

At the top of the climbable wall was a big room that looked different from the rest of the temple. There was a big rock wall to the side, with some Skullawalltalala on it. There was a piece of the wall that looked somewhat detached, and looked like it was blocking something. On the floor there was a big square with a sun in the middle. Behind me was a chest, and when I opened it, I got an item that Navi said was called 'bombchus', but I liked to call them bomb rats, because they were bombs that looked like rats.

"What do they do?" I asked Navi out of curiosity.

"Well, when you set them down, they will crawl on the ground and walls, exploding when it hits something or when it runs out of time. I don't know how they are going to help you in this room though." Navi sounded disappointed in herself, I think she doesn't like not knowing things.

I looked at the piece of wall that looked detached again. "Maybe if I..." I trailed off into my own thoughts. I set the bomb rat down on the floor. It crawled up to the separated wall and exploded, making a light shine down into the room. The light hit the sun, and the suns face turn from a frown into a smile. That must have activated something, because the once blocked door behind me was now free to be entered.

Navi seemed impressed. "Wow, good job! I couldn't figure that out!" I smiled in thanks.

The next room was bigger than the other ones. The first thing I saw was another moving statue, but Navi assured me that this one was not alive. She checked at the bottom of the ledge we were standing on and told me to push the statue from it. It landed on a blue switch and that unlocked a door that was up the stairs next to me. Before I continued on, however, I jumped down and went to see the big statue of the Goddess of the Sand, I felt the need to pray.

After I was done, Navi spoke up. "Um...Avy?"

"Yeah?"

"This might be an awkward question,but I've wondered it for a while now."

"Hey don't worry about it, Navi! We're friends! Ask away!"

"Well...since you are half Gerudo and half Hylian... which Gods do you believe in? Can you believe in both, or is that bad?"

Navi's question was tough to answer. I thought for a while before saying anything. "Well, when I was a kid, I hated the Gods. They cursed me with this horrible life I had, but then I found you and Link. You guys showed me that there isn't just evil in this world. So I started realizing that the Gods were on my side, they brought you two into my life. I started getting very interested in them, disguising myself and asking people from other towns about their stories. I felt so blessed, I named my horse after the goddess of courage. It got kinda confusing when I joined the Gerudos, though. I had never heard of this 'sand goddess' and was worried she was a false idol. For a while I refused to believe in her, Ganondorf follows her, and I will never be like Ganondorf. But Nabooru reminded me that the Hylians worship many Gods and Goddesses, and the Goddess of sand was most likely an old god of theirs, they had no reason to worship her anymore if they did not live in the desert. So I guess I do believe in both, it just took me a long time to get there."

Navi was silent for a while. She finally spoke up in a small voice. "Sometimes I wish that Link and I could go back to when we first met you, and take you away from that life of yours. You didn't deserve that."

I smiled at her. "Thank you Navi. Yeah, I wish that sometimes too. But you guys did come back for me eventually, right?" I tried to lighten the mood, I could tell Navi was very upset.

"Yeah, seven years late. Link still beats himself up for that. He blames himself for everything that happened while he was in the chamber of sages."

Oh gods, all this time. All I have been thinking about is myself, I've never once thought about how this is affecting Link. What I said to him back at the fortress..oh no. He just wanted to protect me. Dammit, Avy. I thought to myself.

"I need to start getting better at understanding emotions. I could have avoided hurting Link back then at the fortress if I just understood other people." I admitted.

"You did a good job back there, when you told him how you felt." Navi said to me.

"How? I hurt him. I couldn't even see that I was hurting him." I said, ashamed.

"Sometimes, Avy, to make every person happy, we have to hurt other people's feelings." Navi explained.

I was silent for a while. I wasn't sure what to say and how to say it. I finally said something, but my voice was shaky and nervous. "I want you..to help me, Navi. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, I want to understand what emotions are and how to control them. I didn't even know what love was for a long time, how am I supposed to know when other people are feeling it? All I understand is when people are feeling angry or sad or disappointed. Will..will you help me, Navi?"

Navi giggled. "Of course, Avy! You and Link are me best friends, I want you guys to be happy, and if this makes you happy, then I'll do it!"

I smiled and held her small body close to my chest. "Thanks." I whispered.
