The Final Reawakening
Chapter 9

He knelt down, and wept on the hilt of the great blade. He felt the wind increase, and the fire that was still burning the town moved toward the center of town. Oniwalu picked himself up, and rushed to the town square, hoping to stop the fire from destroying anything else. To his surprise, the fire formed a figure. The fire stopped, and the golden figure still stood there.
"D...Din? Why did YOU do this?" He sheathed his sword, and heard it lock into place. "Why, Din, why?"
"I needed a test. You seem to have passed it, although you did not succeed in saving everyone. that was to be expected."
"So you risk innocent lives to TEST ME?! I thought you were more benevolent than that! Why did you need to test me anyway?!"
"I needed to test you, because I needed to find out if you were worthy. I see now that you are." She leapt into the air, and, just like her other sisters, disappeared, only leaving a golden blade. Oniwalu picked it up, and held it in his hands. He threw it to the ground in disgust. He spat on it.
"I don't want power if it causes death. Take your weapon back, so-called 'goddess'!" He drew the energy blade, and held it over his head. The warm touch of a woman behind him made him stop.
"Oni...Oniwalu..." she said in a calm voice. "Don't, Oni. Don't do it. It's going to be alright, Oni. Don't destroy the sword. It's going to be alright. Don't do it, Oni."
Oniwalu turned around, and saw the speaker. She was quite tall, and had silver hair, as well as silver eyes, just like Oni. And as he looked at her closer, he noticed that she was very familiar. But from where? He then remembered his dream. A beautiful woman entered Kokiri forest, with a child tucked under her arm. She had hair of silver, as well as gray eyes. She seemed to be badly wounded, and as she stumbled in, Oniwalu knew that she would not make it.
"M...Mother? Is it really you?" He dropped his sword, and the energy blade was extinguished as it hit the ground. He embraced her, then held her out in front of him. "But how? I thought you had died in Hyrule?"
"Technically, yes I did," She spoke in a calm voice. "But when I lost my form as Rlyda..." She began to gain a golden glow. "I regained my original form as Farore." Now the golden Triforce goddess stood in front of her son.
"Wait...If you're my mother, and you're a triforce goddess..." He looked at the back of his hand. An upside down triangle was beginning to glow there. "Does that make me a triforce god?"
"I'm afraid so, Oni..." She looked at the ground as she said this. "And with that power, you must accept also the responsibilities that come with it. First of all, you must keep your power secret from all others. In addition, you must swear to protect all that is good in this world. Finally, you must uphold all the virtues of your heritage; Power, wisdom, and courage. With power, you must not let yourself become corrupted. With wisdom, you must not let others feel dumb or ignorant. With courage, you must accept any challenge, but also know when you have met your match. Remember always that you are only part god; your other half is of elven blood. Thus, you are not immortal, and so if you feel you are beaten, admit it! And then the final virtue; hope. This is the virtue that you hold within yourself. You are this world's only hope. never forget it."
"What about Link? Isn't he the Hero of Time?"
"He will die, I am afraid. You must always remember that you are the only one left to defend truth and light, when your brother has perished." Having said this, Rlyda crouched down, and picked up the final piece of the Sword of Light. She handed it to Oniwalu, and he accepted it somewhat reluctantly. He still didn't understand why so many people had to die for him to save a few others.
Rlyda then walked back away from Oniwalu, and faded into nothingness. Oniwalu thought he could hear her say, "Don't worry, Oni...I will always love you..." before she vanished.
