Thanks for reviewing; I don't think that last chapter was what they were expecting.
Someone said that I created a bad impression of myself in that last chapter, I think I exaggerated a little because even if I'm upset I am not that badly behaved, it's just that the character is upset that Lucy is gone, wouldn't you? I think she's handling it better than I would; I'd be off a cliff by now (joking!).
Someone also asked whether Lucy was a real person, yes she is. Lucy is a friend from school; in fact I am going to her house in a couple of hours as I'm writing this. Her character has been changed a little and so has mine but we are like this is real life mostly ^_^ She's read the first few chapters of the story and I haven't told her she's been killed off yet (I'm sorry Lucy!)
Now on with the story after that brief interlude!


I stood up to the pedestal after Link. The stone platform with the hole for the master stool was huge. It was about the size of a tennis court. The room was also very tall, like the main hall, you couldn't see the ceiling that well.

"Is this where we go into the sacred realm?" the Zora asked quietly

"Yes" Link replied, "This is where we can get in"

"And it's where we have to stop anything coming out" Zelda said

"Coming out?" I asked

"Spirits, demons, Gannondorf, anything that wants out has to stay in" she replied "Now step up to the pedestal and we can begin"

We went up to the stone where the master sword had been.

"Now Link, put the sword in the stone, I'll do everything else" Zelda said

"But I need the sword" Link protested

"You have the giants knife so put the sword in the hole" Zelda replied firmly

"Fine"

"Hold on to something then" Zelda said

"What?" I said scanning around, "Theres nothing but a stone floor"

"Hold on to that then" Zelda said comfortably

"How comforting" the Zora mumbled

"Here goes nothing" Link pushed the sword into its place in the stone

Nothing happened.

Then it did happen. The edges of the stone platform began to glow and light shot up to the ceiling enclosing us in walls of light. Then the room dissolved. I grabbed Link's arm as the light grew brighter and turned blue. Then the world went black.

"Hey, are you ok?" Link was shaking my arm that I was still gripped onto

I was freezing but I managed to force my eyes open. I was covered in a thin layer of frost. I was also very cold. I began to shake violently as the cold began to settle into my brain.

"Why I a-a-am I s-s-so c-c-cold?" I stuttered out through chattering teeth

"It's the aftermath of the dimensional travel, it's cold between the levels of reality"

"S-s-so I noticed" a voice tremble to my right

I looked round to find the Zora clapping his hands (flippers?) together and blowing on them.

"Why aren't you c-c-c-cold?" I asked Link

"I'm used to it," he said rubbing my arms roughly

"Hey, w-w-what about me?" the Zora chattered

"You should be used to it too" Link answered back, "I mean, Zoras domain was frozen for seven years"

"G-g-good point" he replied

I set about to warming up, mostly by breathing on my hands. Link used Din's fire at one point to warm us up and then I realised that without the cold, this realm was hot. Maybe 30 degrees or so. Thank god.

"I think I'm warming up," I said after ten minutes, testing my fingers

"Good, I don't want to be carrying an ice cube around" Link replied grinning

"I'm feeling warmer too" the Zora came over to us, "But I'm not sure if that's a good thing for me"

"It's going to be something," said Link looking around, "Look where we are"

I looked, I hadn't been paying attention before as I'd been cold, but now I could see what I'd missed.

We were on a hillside, it was covered in grass and wild flowers, and it made me wonder why I hadn't seen it before. The hill went down into a valley, a river ran through the landscape, crystal blue water, and trees and flowers grew everywhere. The trees were a vivid green, like a Disney film, and the colours were of every shade, lilac, scarlet, vermilion, oranges, lemons, bronze, turquoise, aqua, mocha, every single colour ever invented seemed to be within the scene that lay before me. It was perfection to say the least; nothing seemed to have spoiled it.

But what made me gasp was they sky. As I looked around it caught my eye. Oblivion. A screen of paper with pin pricks letting light. The stars, so clear, the universe barely an arms length away from my grasp. The sky was a beautiful clear night, though the land before us was in full light as if the sun was shining. The full moon replaced the daylight star though and flooded the landscape with silver instead.

"S***" I said, my legs feeling wobbly with the dimension of what I saw

"That is one big sky," Link whispered weakly

"I thought you'd been here before" the Zora said looking around

"Only to the Temple of Light though" Link replied

"Don't you think it's pretty?" I asked the Zora, tearing my eyes from the sky

"I can't see colour" the Zora said waving his arm to the valley "Shades of grey my friend"

"Oh" I fell silent guilty about showing off my sight

"How do you navigate the water then?" Link asked

"Sound" the Zora began to walk down the hill, "Are you coming?"

"Yes" Link followed after him

"It would help if we knew where we were going," I called after them, then ran to catch up
