A/N ~ Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! LOL. Chapter 51. Oh my God, I'm sooooo pissed
right now. I finally got to play Majora's Mask!! And although Link is young
and stupid and Tatl is mean and it has really bad songs [so far] and it's
very complicated... I like the mini quests. Lol. I've just beaten the
Woodfall Temple place and I'm headed for the mountains. But anyway...
thanks sooooooooo much everyone for being loyal reviewers... lol, and
thanks to everyone who's new to reading my weird story. Lol. Just keep in
mind it's almost over... heh. Oh well. I really hope I didn't screw up this
chapter because I'm not quite sure how great my understanding of the
Triforce and the Goddesses is... lol. Another very short chapter... Please
R/R. For what it's worth, enjoy! (^. O)

Chapter LI * Light Restored
The ravishing woman finally spoke.
"Do not be afraid, Marissa." She began. Her voice was soothing and gentle. Her smile grew. "I am Farore, Goddess of Courage."
Marissa gasped, astonished. Link had spoken of the Goddesses to her...
"Long long ago, I created this land with the two other Goddesses... Nayru and Din." She continued. Looking down at Link's body, she sighed mournfully. "Link... was the holder of the Triforce piece of Courage." She looked back to Marissa. "Link was chosen by destiny not only to hold that piece, but to save Hyrule from whatever evil that should befall it..." she paused, and starred down at his lifeless body. "Ganon... that monster... he has attacked this land many times before. However, this time the circumstances were very different. In order to enter the Sacred Realm, Hyrule needed someone else... you, Marissa. Link knew what he was doing, taking you from your world and bringing you here... even if he wasn't sure of it." She stopped again.
Marissa's expression was solemn confusion. Her brows were furrowed as she strained to understand.
"Link has saved Hyrule numerous times. If he hadn't been here to defend Hyrule, Ganon would have taken over long ago. Without Link, the Triforce would belong to Ganon. He's restored power to the Sacred Triangles so many times. He... he didn't deserve to die this way..." she shook her head sadly.
"But... because he's saved our land from horrible fates... he has earned great honor. We will restore life to Link, the Hero of Time, just the way he's restored power to the Gods as well as the sacred Triforce." Her expression was sincere.
At first, Marissa was unsure she had understood correctly. She was going to restore his life...?
Farore slowly spread her arms out and lifted them upward to the gray heavens.
An aura of golden light appeared, surrounding his corpse. The flames of shimmering gold engulfed the body, and the outline of the Triforce suddenly glowed mysteriously on the back of his right hand. The bottom right triangle slowly flooded with the golden light.
Farore lifted her head to Marissa, who was starring in a mixture of fear and wonder. "Thank you... both of you." she smiled and was surrounded by her sphere of gold. The light encircled her, and she vanished within the glowing energy ball. It began to shrink as it gradually ascended.
Marissa watched her fly up, and then dart off into the distance.
She brought her attention back to Link in time to see his eyes flicker open. He sat up and, shaking his head as if he was trying to shake off confusion, he got to his feet.
Marissa felt her heart skip a beat, as it suddenly quickened to an almost- painful speed.
Link looked out into the distance speechless, and Marissa walked towards him.
He was okay... just like that, he was okay...
When he heard her approaching, he turned and their eyes met. She threw her arms around his neck, and sobbed, "Link..."
He said nothing but hugged her too.
She stood there for a moment, her forehead gently pressed into his chest, reveling in the relief and excitement of the moment.
Then she turned and looked out into the Sacred Realm with Link.
There was a sparkling wave of white light that literally washed over the gloomy land, reviving the glorious life. The dark streets faded to white and the buildings became whole again. Everything glowed with gold and the sky was painted over, becoming azure again as the dark swarming clouds vanished, giving way to the glistening sun.
The sunbeams danced down on them and Link bent forward, deeply kissing Marissa just the way he had dreamed for so long.
