Desert Night
The wind died down. The travelers held their breath… waited…
**thump, thump** (heartbeat effects)
Nabooru draws her scimitar... ready for anything...
**thump, thump**
Impa looks around warily, searching for a sign...
**thump, thump**
Link waits for something... anything...
**thump, thump**
Navi hovered close to Link... feeling his worry...
Nabooru was the first to say it. "Nothing's happening here. It's no use staying here forever. We need to try something else."
Impa nods. "As much as I don't like it... Nabooru's right."
"NO!! We must be missing something here...this has to be the right place..." Link starts spazing out while Navi flutters nearby.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Navi asks. Impa just sighs.
"Sheik... and the rest of his village." Impa briefly brings Navi up to speed on what they have been through and found. "All we have to find the new location are Sheik's directions."
"So what is the first step?"
"We need to figure out 'The Eye of the Fire shall see the Spring of the Forest... Find the purest sound of the heart'."
"So why are you here?" Navi doesn't understand how they came up with the Lost Woods. Nabooru is exasperated.
"The 'Eye of Fire', isn't that the sun? And the 'Spring of the Forest', a water spring?
This..." she points to the well and the warp, "isn't this it? And he left us some music..."
"The 'Eye of Fire' is Din's Shrine hidden on Death Mountain... at least that is how Fairy-folk refer to it..."
"WHAT!?" Link jumps up. "I never knew about a Shrine on Death Mountain other than the Fire Temple..."
"It is a Sheikan shrine... goes back a few millennia. I never even thought of that..." Impa seems lost in thoughts. Nabooru gets pissed.
"You mean we have to go all the way back to Death Mountain?" Link and Navi cringe, while Impa never even blinks.
"We knew that we might have been wrong with this. We'll just have to get there as quickly as possible." Impa grabs the Deku that Nabooru was about to warp with. "That won't work."
"Why not?" Link asks. He had the Ocarina out and was ready to do the same. Impa takes them both in with her gaze.
"It isn't exactly a picnic to get in. And if we try to warp we will be blocked that much harder. We don't want to get killed doing this."
"Fine. Let's go. We have precious little time." They leave the forest and go back onto the field.
***Really lazy author... They are now at the foot of Death Mountain***
"So where up here?" Link says as they begin to walk up the mountain. Impa is very
carefully searching every wall they come to. As a result, she misses the...
"TEKTITE!!!" Link screams. Nabooru is already on it, as is Link. Impa snaps out of it
and looks ahead. Nabooru and Link have already destroyed it. Nabooru turns to her, face red.
"Aren't you even paying attention?"
"For your information I am searching for the entrance. If you want to wander around the
mountain forever fine." Nabooru calms down.
"You should have said something."
"Sorry." Link looks at the two sages, then shrugs. Navi is trying not to laugh. They
all turn to her.
"What's so funny?" Nabooru is trying desperately to find a reason to slice the fairy.
Navi just keeps laughing.
"You two insist you hate each other, yet you seem just like sisters!" Navi has fallen out
of the air and is on the ground still laughing. Nabooru and Impa just look at each other.
"Sisters?" They say at the same time. "Not on your life!"
O_o "That was freaky..." Link says. He turns ahead, then pulls out his Lens of Truth.
"Impa... what's that over there?"
Impa and Nabooru both turn. Navi finally stops laughing and goes up on Link's shoulder.
Impa steps up to where Link is, and sees it.
"It's the entrance!!" They all hurry inside. When they enter, they are in a huge room.
There are 6 doors, each with a symbol over them signifying their temple. They take it all in,
then Impa pulls out the paper again.
" 'The Eye of the Fire shall see the Spring of the Forest... Find the purest sound of the
heart'," she looks over the Fire Door. There is a picture of an eye. She then looks directly
across the room... at the Door of the Forest Temple. When she opens it, there is an underground
spring running into the room. Nabooru comes up and looks behind her.
"At least we weren't completely wrong." She says. Link and Navi come up. "But we still
need the 'Purest sound of the Heart'."
"Link, try that song again." Navi says. "It sounded familiar, it could be it!"
Link walks into the room and stands in the spring. He plays the song. When it is over,
a rumbling sound is heard. Everyone runs back out to the main room. Sure enough... a stairway
has opened in the center of the room leading down.
"We did it!" Link screams. Impa smiles, and Nabooru is already halfway down the stairs.
"Don't worry Sheik... here we come!"
