Lily noticed a stone that faced the raising sun. She walked over to it and read what was writen on it.
"Lily?" Yara asked. "What is it? What does it say?"
"I'm not sure what it means..." Lily said, taking out her bow and an arrow. "But it says to shoot the sun."
Lily aimed for the bright sun, and let the arrow fly. Something fell from the sky and landed on the ground behind her. She turned and found that it was a bundle of four arrows.
Each had a red cysrtal at the end for an arrow head. Lily picked up the bundle and pulled one of them out. As soon as it touched her bow, a red jewel appeared at one end of it.
"Woah!" Yara exclaimed. "That's the legendary Fire Arrow!"
"The what?" Link asked.
"Never mind, each of you take an arrow and touch it with your bows."
Each of the others did so, and the same happened to their weapons. Then all the of the fire arrows vanished.
"Okay, now what do we do?" Nathen asked. "We need to find the other two temples."
"We should try asking around." Link said. "Maybe someone will know something about it."
"That's not going to get us far though." Randy pointed out. "For all we know, we could know the location, but not realize it."
'An Endless Desert and the House of the Dead...' Lily thought to herself. 'Desert...Gerudos.'
"I think I know where one of the temples is." Lily said out loud.
"Huh?" All three of the boys asked.
"Think about it, Sheik said an Endless Desert. Where is there a desert in Hyrule?"
"Past the...Oh, Lily you've got to be joking!" Nathen exclaimed.
"Not at all."
"What?" Link asked.
"To get to the next temple, we have to get past the Gerudo's Fortress, the second strong hold of Ganondorf."
"So we have to get past Ganondorf's minions, to get into the desert, to get to the temple?"
"Yeah."
"You do realize how completely insane that is?"
"I know for fact that it is the most insane idea I've had in a long time.
"Well, if we're going to be going to the desert, don't you think we should make sure that can even get past all the sandstorms?" Randy asked.
"That would be a good idea. Do either of you know how to get past them?"
"Well when we were taken hostage, we were kept in a small outpost just near the egde of the desert, but there was always someone there."
"How so?"
"We'd hear a voice saying that if we wanted to go farther into the desert, we must have the 'eye that sees all'."
"Eye that sees all...An eye that only sees the truth, maybe?"
"Maybe."
"I remember hearing something about that in Karkariko when I was a kid." Nathen said. "There was a legend that an item to see all things that were real, rested in the bottom of the old well."
"But the well is sealed now." Navi said. "The only way you could get in is if you were to..."
"...Go back in time..." Yara finished. "And the only way to go back in time is to put the Master Sword in the Pedestal of Time."
"Then let's get going!" Link exclaimed. "Anyway to get to the desert is good enough for me!"
They ran across the bridge back to the shore. Two horses came running up to them as they stepped off the brigde. One was Epona, the other was a golden brown horse with a black mane.
"Where'd this one come from?" Link asked, motioning to the horse.
"Oh, that's our horse, Abrex." Nathen explained. "We found him after we escaped from the Gerudo's."
"Well, we'll have to go two on each horse then." Lily said, climbing onto Epona's saddle. "Come on, Link."
Link leaped up onto the saddle as well and Randy and Nathen got on the other horse.
"So where was it we're going?" Randy asked, taking hold on Abrex's mane.
"We're going to the Temple of Time, in Hyrule Castle Town." Link said.
"Okay."
"Be careful once we get there though." Lily said. "There are redeads everywhere."
Lily lightly tapped Epona's shoulder and the horse sped off towards Hyrule Field.
After almost a half a day of riding, they came to the broken gate. Lily leaped off Epona, just as Randy and Nathen came up on Abrex.
"Okay, now we have to be careful." Lily said, "We don't want to make so much noise that Ganondorf notices us."
"Why would he bother to look anyway?" Randy asked.
"Let's just say that I'm on he's most wanted list."
"Woah, you must have done something big to have gotten on that list, Lily!"
"Come on, we have to get to the temple."
They walked across the broken bridge, and walked into the city. Lily could tell that it was worse then when she had first come back almost a month ago.
Some of the buildings that had been standing, were now piles of rubble and ash. As the passed by the alley ways, Lily was sure that had seen something in the darkness.
"Lily, you coming?" Link asked. "Or do we have to drag you?"
"No, I'm coming." Lily sighed. "I was just thinking."
They sneeked past the redeads in the city square and they ran up the stairs into the old temple. It began to rain as it had before, but Lily took no notice of it.
They came into the Temple of Time and Lily could tell that nothing had been touched and none of the three stones had been taken.
"Come on, into the back room." Link said, walking towards the open door into the back chamber.
They walked onto the platform and found that standing before the pedestal was Sheik.
"At sometime, you'll need to come back to this temple quickly." Sheik said. "So I shall teach you this song, that will bring you back here in a split second."
He took out his harp and played a new song, that Link and Lily played back with their ocarinas.
Sheik nodded to them, then in a flash of light, he was gone again.
"So, how does this work?" Nathen asked.
"Each of you need to put a hand on my shoulder." Link said.
Each of them put their hand on Link's right shoulder, while he held the Master sword in his left. The three fairies sat on top of Link's hat and Link stuck the sword into the stone slab.
They were surrounded in a pillar of blue light, and they seemed to be falling into an endless pit. A moment later, Lily found that they were still in the temple.
"Did it work?" she asked, looking at Link. "Or are we still-Huh!"
Lily fell backwards at what she saw. She was looking at Link, but it Link the age of only ten-years-old.
"I think it worked." Link said.
"Well, since I havn't looked like this since I was ten, then yes it would seem to have worked." Nathen said, "But are we in the right time?"
"Look at the windows." Randy said, pointing to the windows high above them. "All that light that is coming through wasn't there a moment ago."
"Then we must have gone back seven years!" Teal exclaimed. "That's the only explaination for it."
"But if that's true..." Lily said. "Then we've only got a little while before we have to go back."
"Huh?" Link asked, "Why?"
"Do you really want to cause one of our past selves to see themself? And possibly cause something to happen to them that would change the future?"
"Well..."
"Exactly."
