Desert Rose

By: Sailor Earth


Ok this is my first songfic so please don't flame me! None of the characters of Zelda belong to me, they belong to Nintendo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Nabooru is seen training in the desert in front of the Spirit Temple. Jumping and flipping, kicking and punching.



I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand



She takes a giant leap into the air and tries to do a flip in the air only to come crashing down into the sand. She pauses, crouched in the sand.
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire



A memory of the fight with Ganon flashes through, showing Link with his sword fighting Ganon's second form.

Nabooru stands up a stern look on her face, the screen behinds her fades to black and her face slowly changes to Link's face to Zelda's to Ganon's.
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this



Nabooru and Link are in the Chamber of the Sages and Nabooru is talking to Link.


Twirling and moving to her own music of the desert, her bare feet kick up sand creating like a sand dome around her.
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing's as it seems


Fire starts to spring up around her, joining in on her dancing.
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand



Dark clouds start to cover the sky, lightning and thunder start as it begins to rain, hard. Nabooru opens her arms and twirls around, her eyes are closed with her face to the sky.
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love



The scene shows a memory of Nabooru with Link sitting on top of the stone structure in front of the Spirit Temple. Link hands her a white rose, she reaches out to take it and their hands brush. Nabooru blushes and quickly turns away to look back out to the desert
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


She stops twirling for a moment and lets the sand slowly drain out of her hand.
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Another memory showing Link riding Epona across Hyrule Field with Zelda behind him holding on. They pass by a tree and Nabooru peeks out, her face unreadable.


The Gerudo leader reaches up and removes a rose from the back of her hair.

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall



Nabooru tosses a rose into the desert to let the wind carry it where it wants to. She smiles and turns away to the Spirit Temple where a small girl with red hair awaits her.

The screen retreats to the white rose in the sand, sand blowing over it as the screen fades to black.
