They made their way through the temple, solving puzzle after puzzle. They had found the gold key and were about to go into the finaly room, but Lily was still blaming herself for Link getting captured.

"Lily, come on." Yara said. "It's not that much farther..."

"But it's my fault in the first place..." Lily sighed.

"Stop hitting yourself and focus on the job at hand!" Randy exclaimed.

"Randy..." Lily said, looking at her friend. "You just sounded like the captain did, in our training."

"Well..." Randy said, his face growing slightly red. "It's one of the only things I ever got out of the training."

"You're right." Lily said, walking up to the large door. "I should just stay focused on defeating the monster."

Lily reached out to put the golden key into the lock, when the door suddenly burst open and Link flew out of the room, knocking Lily to the floor.

"Nice of you to drop in on me." Lily coughed. "What were you doing in there?"

"I'm not sure," Link said, helping Lily up. "One minute I was drowning, the next I'm flying into you."

"In any case," Nathen said. "We need to defeat the monster."

"He's right." Randy said. "If we want any hope in saving the Zora, we have to do this now."

Lily nodded, and turned to the door once again. She unlocked the door and the four of them walked into the room.

The room was made from the same blue-green stone that they had found all over the temple. Along the walls spikes stuck out as if they were to grab at something close to them.

In the middle of the room, with a pool of water, with four stone pillars rising up from the strange blue liquid.

"Come on." Lily said, leaping onto one of the platforms.

"Lily, be carefull!" Yara exclaimed, "That water doesn't look normal!"

As she leaped to the next, something flew out of the water, knocking Lily into the pool.

She looked around the pool and saw a red and green blob and goo zooming towards her. She swam up just as the creature tried to grab her.

She broke through the water and climbed out onto the floor. Looking around, she saw that the others were leaping in and out of the grasp of two long strands of compact water.

She got to her feet and ran to help them, as she appoarched, the water fell apart.

"Lily, are you okay?" Randy asked.

"Yeah, and I found the monster too." Lily replied. "We should-Woah!"

Lily fell face down to the ground and felt herself being pulled towards the water. Link grabed Lily's hands and pulled. Randy and Nathen tried to help as well, but they soon lost hold on Lily.

Link couldn't hold onto her for much longer either. Lily's hands were wet, so it made them slippery. Link lost his grip and Lily was dragged into the water.

Lily put on the iron boots, and sank to the bottom of the pool. She knew that the water couldn't form if she was inside of it, so she was save from it. The red and green blob on the other hand was still a problem.

Lily looked around the pool and found that the blob was no where to be seen. She walked around the bottom of the pool, to the far side and found herself facing a tall woman.

She was the woman in blue, that Lily had seen before on Death Mountain. The woman had a look on her face, of happiness and sadness at the same time.

'Fate is a troublesome thing, isn't it?'

'I should be asking you the same question, Goddess of Time.'

'Please, you don't have to address me be my title. Nayru will do fine.'

'Why do you come to me? Why not my brother? He's the weilder of the Master Sword!'

'You still have so much to learn, my child. So much to learn about the fate of you and your brother...For you are someone completely different from what your brother sees you for.'

Nayru vanished, leaving Lily to be puzzled about what the Goddess had meant. Lily shook her head.

'Maybe I was imaging things?' Lily thought. 'I mean, how could I be anything more then myself?'

As Lily stood there thinking, she noticed that the water was gone. She was standing in the empty pool, next to four heart shaped jewels.

"Lily!" Link's voice yelled. "Are you okay!"

"Yeah, I'm fine!" Lily called back, looking up to see Link, Randy and Nathen just above her.

The other three climbed down to where Lily was. They each took one of the heart shaped jewels, then they each walked into the blue portal that had appeared.

They were in the Chamber of Sages once again, but this time facing the blue platform. Randy and Nathen seemed to be somewhat used to the strange world.

Ruto appeared on the platform. Lily noticed that the Zora had a smile on her face, but it wasn't a smile of happiness, it was a smile to cover her pain.

"Link, you and Lily and...those other two, broke the curse of the Water Temple!" Ruto laughed. "I knew I picked the right man to be my husband!"

"Husband!" Randy and Nathen whispered to each other.

"The lake will fill once again with cold waters." Ruto sighed. "And Zora's Domain shall soon melt back to it's original life. On behalf of all the Zora, I thank you."

"It wasn't a problem, Ruto." Link said. "But..."

"Yes, I am the Sage of the Water Temple." Ruto said. "Which means that I can never be married..."

"Ruto-"

"No, Link, I'm sorry." Ruto cut him off. "I should have guessed that this would happen. A Hylain and a Zora could never become husband and wife. So, I am cutting off our engagement."

"But, as a reward for saving my people," Ruto continued. "I give you my enternal love."

Link was frozen with shock. This was a surprise, even though they had just cut off the 'engagement'.

"Wai-...I...You...Huh!" Link exclaimed.

"No, that is not what I am giving you." Ruto laughed. "I can't. It would go against my duty as the Sage of Water. But I want you to take this medallion...Take it...Take it respectfully!"

Ruto lifted her arms to the sky, and a blue medallion fell into Link's hand. It was blue with the symbol of water in one side.

"And, Link..." Ruto said. "I know that you are looking for Princess Zelda. Don't worry, you'll meet her soon. And If you see Sheik, tell him thank you for me?"

"We will." Link sighed, "Good-bye, Ruto."

In a flash of light, the four Hylains and the three fairies were standing on top of the island in the middle of Lake Hylia.

Lily saw Sheik standing just a little farther away from them. He was watching the water, as it quickly filled up the lake.

"The lake fills, and the evil is no more." Sheik said, turning to them. "You did it! You broke the curse!"

Lily ran to where Sheik was standing, and watched as the lake continued to fill.

"Sheik, Ruto wanted us to give you her thanks." Lily said.

"Did she?" Sheik asked, "Well, you must save Hyrule for her sake too. Right?"

"Yeah." Link said.

"And for the sake of all the falling Hylain Knights." Nathen said, walking up with Randy right behind him.

"And for our children to come." Randy added.

The five of them watched as the last of the lake filled, then all four turned to Sheik, to find the Sheikah had vanished.

"Sheik?" Link yelled.

"Where did he go now?" Navi exclaimed.

As they looked around the lake, they heard a small splash towards the east. They turned to see ripples in the water.

"Was that Sheik?" Randy asked.

"Maybe it was a fish...?" Nathen asked.

"Well..." Lily began, "No matter what it was or wasn't, we've got two more Temples to find and break their curses!"
