Desert Night

**Chamber of Sages**
"Well?" Sheik says. "Let's do this already!"
"Calm down. We won't get anywhere if we rush." Impa says. Saria comes in with a glass
Triforce. Rauru takes it and places it in the center. Sheik, Link and Zelda stand off to the
side. All the sages close their eyes. After a moment, the glass Triforce starts to glow. Then a
beam of light shoots straight up. Link and Sheik watch with wide eyes. When the glow stops, the
glass Triforce is gone, and in its place are three glowing figures.
"We know why you have called." The one glowing red says.
"But we are not sure of what you wish of us." Says the one glowing blue.
"But it seems two of them are confused as to us." Says the one glowing green giggling.
"I am Farore. Goddess of Courage. You should know me most of all young hero." She says
gesturing towards Link.
"I'm sorry m'lady, I've never had the honor..." Link says numbly. Farore just laughs.
"The one in the red is Din, and the one in blue is Nayru." Farore explains. "But what
exactly is it you need of us?"
Rauru steps up. "The fairies are trying to take over. We don't know how to stop them."
The goddesses look at him. Din shakes her head.
"I was afraid of this..." she says. Farore looks down.
"I should have known this would happen..." Link takes a step forward.
"Please don't blame yourself Lady Farore." He says. Farore looks up.
"Don't worry about me Link. But I can give you the way to stop them. But it won't be
easy."
"We can do it." Link says. Nayru shakes her head.
"Not all of you... Link, Sheik, and Nabooru." All eyes go wide.
"Wha?" Impa starts. Din tips her head.
"They are the ones with the necessary skills. Also, they were chosen for this from the
beginning." Saria looks at them shocked.
"You... you knew this would happen..." She says, almost whispering.
"Yes." Farore said. "But I never thought it would be for this reason."
"Well," Link says. "We better get started. So what do we need to do?"
"Din, give them the map." Nayru says. Din materializes a map and it floats over to
Sheik. Sheik takes it and looks at it.
"This is... my home village... I don't understand..." Farore comes over to him.
"What you need is there. You must hurry. The Sheikah are the only ones stronger than
them anymore." Sheik nods.
"Not to be offensive," Nabooru says. "But why am I included?"
"The village has changed... your skills will be needed. It's kinda hard to explain…" Din
says.
"Well, let's go then!" Link says. Farore looks at them.
"Just to make things a little easier..." she waves a hand. Link, Sheik, and Nabooru
vanish.
**Dead Sheikan Village**
Link, Sheik, and Nabooru appear in the village. It is quiet. Link suddenly slaps his
forehead.
"We never found out what we needed..." he says. Sheik and Nabooru sigh. He's right.
"So now what?" Nabooru asks. Sheik looks at the map he was given.
"We have it right here." He says. Link and Nabooru look over his shoulder at the map.
"We need some of the Sheikan cloth...some of the Sheikan ale? What's that for?"
"Who knows. What is the other thing?"
"It says...Huh?"
"What?" Link says.
"We need a book from the head lodge... 'The Fairy Elenten'" Sheik replies. Nabooru just
looks at him.
"The WHAT?!" she exclaims. Link starts walking over to what's left of the head lodge.
"I think that is the reason you were supposed to come. You seem to be good at finding
things, no matter how well they are hidden. Although you still couldn't find me very easily,
could ya?" Sheik says, smiling under his bandages. Nabooru stops herself from punching him,
instead following Link over to the lodge. Sheik follows.
**At the head lodge**
Link is inspecting the damage. The place is just as bad as when they had last seen it.
Nabooru and Sheik walk up.
"Link," Sheik says. "Why don't we let Nabooru find the book, and we can go look for the
other things." Link looks up.
"Isn't it written in Sheikan?" he asks.
"Actually, this one was written in standard Hylian. Nabooru can read that, right?" he
asks looking at her.
"Of course I can." She says. Then she goes into the building. Link and Sheik begin to
search for the other materials.
**Inside ruins of head building**
"Find the book, find the book... stupid Sheikah. Thinks he knows everything..." Nabooru
continues mumbling as she looks through what's left of the library. She picks up random books
and checks titles, not once finding anything close to what she is looking for. After a while,
she decides on a 5-minute break. I wonder how the boys are doing? she thinks. She starts looking again. Then something catches her eye. She freezes. Every one
of her senses is on full alert. She looks around carefully. I KNOW I saw something. she says
in her mind. Then the flash comes again, this time closer. Before she can react, she is on her
back on the floor. Looking down over her is a huge demon.
"You are Gerudo Nabooru?" It asks. Nabooru stays silent, and reaches for her scimitar.
"No weapon," the demon says. Nabooru notices that all of her weapons are now gone.
"Who are you?!" she demands. The demon laughs.
"I am one sent to destroy you, Gerudo Nabooru. Do you prefer to be in one piece or
many?" Nabooru isn't impressed. Instead of answering, she strikes. She nails him in his demon
jewels, and follows up quickly. The demon goes flying out of the building and into the center of
the village. Nabooru follows it. When she gets outside, she notices Sheik and Link coming over.
Apparently, they heard the commotion as well. Link has the Master Sword drawn. Sheik has his
chain whip. Nabooru connects another hard blow to the demon, and it finally disappears. Sheik
and Link look at her in shock. Nabooru gives them her trademark smirk.
"What?" she asks. Both boys can't find words. "You didn't think I could handle myself?"
"No, we just weren't sure what was going on." Link finally says. Sheik's mind is still
reeling from seeing Nabooru kick the demon's butt with no weapons.
"As soon as Sheiky-boy over here stops gawking, we can get back to searching." Nabooru
says as she turns on her heel. Link goes over and gives Sheik a quick jab, and the search
continues.
