Link then awoke in a startled sweat.It appeared that this Sageon wasn't the dark one that the Sage of Light had mentioned.Link then heard a familiar voice."So I guess your the big hero again huh fairy boy"?Asked Princess Ruto."I.....I guess".Replied Link."Man what's with you?Your even more out of it than you usually are".Said Ruto."I,I sort of got a disturbing message from the Sage of Light".Said Link."Who that old coot?I know him,he's a stupid boring guy that's always talking about some sort of wierd legend".Said Ruto."Now princess,mind your manners.We have a kingdom to uphold".Said King Zora.
"Listen here young lady!I won't be around much later and when I leave this world I don't want some rambuncious smart-mouth ruling my kingdom.Is that understood"?Asked King Zora."Ye,yes father".Said Ruto.Link was just speechless,he had never thought that the peaceful natured and somewhat lazy King Ruto would talk in such a chargeful manor."Um,if you excuse me but can I ask.Exactly where have you and your father been this whole time"?Asked Link."Funny you should ask Fairy boy.Listen,i'll tell you the whole story".Said Ruto.
"When Sageon first entered Zora's Domain,I felt a terrible presence enter the city.The feeling got worse and worse,so I decided to go down to Town Square to see what was going on.He was near the waterfall,and he was preaching horrible blasfimy about things that me and my people held religiously dear.He then looked at me,and it could of only been for a split second,but he gave me one of the evilest stares I had ever seen.Finally,when I couldn't stand any more of it,I ordered that he leave the city immediatley.He snorted and left.When he came back,he locked almost all of my people in Jabu-Jabu's belly.As for me and my father we were submitted to a little more of a worse fate.He opened up some kind of wierd portal and threw me and my father in.I tried to immomblize him with my sage powers,but he just was too powerful.The next thing I knew I was in some kind of infinous void.And when you killed Sageon,we were released from that accursed dimension".Said Ruto.
"Excuse me Link,but where is Lord Jabu-Jabu"?Asked King Zora.Link sulked down at the ground."Link,Link what's wrong?Did something happen to Jabu-Jabu"?Asked King Zora."I'm sorry King Zora,before I was able to vanquish Sageon,he killed Lord Jabu-Jabu".Said Link."No,please say your joking Link"!Said Ruto.Link just stared at Ruto,in a dead serious way."Oh no,your not joking are you"?Asked Ruto.Link sulked and nodded no."Our guardian is dead.But now that he is gone,who will protect Zora's Domain"?Asked King Zora.
Maybe it was Link's consoince,or maybe it was because he was still in a daze himself,but he decided to stay until the two Zoras got their heads together."Listen,I.....i'm very sorry.If there's anything I can do just say it".Said Link.Princess Ruto just looked over at Link and grinned."I appreciate your concern Link,but this really is something that me and my father should figure out on our own.But........".Ruto paused for a moment,trying to think how to word what she was about to say."I have an idea though.If we can gather the rest of the sages,maybe they can help me by summoning a new guardian spirit".Said Ruto.
"Well,I said i'd help you,but why can't you simply try and send a message to them with your sage powers"?Asked Link."I......I can't.I'm sorry but i'm still in a daze about all of this.It just happened so fast.I'm sorry".Said Ruto."Okay,i'll do it.But I think I should go back home first.I'm really drained.I'll get the sages first thing tommorow.I promise".Said Link."TOMMOROW!TOMMOROW!Do you actually think I,the great Princess Ruto am supposed to wait until........I mean,ahem.That's,that's fine.Just......fine".Said Princess Ruto.Link just gave Ruto a you-haven't-changed look and called Epona.Link was done for the day,and it was time to go home.
