Okay, I changed the rating to PG-13 because it gets a little violent at the end there.

"Your Majesty?" Impa was surprised at how timid her voice sounded. Was she not a Sheikah, was she not the Sage of Shadow? She changed her tone and spoke again.
"Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Impa?" Shira answered. She seemed pleased with Impa's change in tone.
"Fight well. We can win this-together."
"You too, young warrior. I foresee that you will someday be 'The Great'. I would be honored to see how you have grown on that day."
The two smiled at each other. Shira gracefully swept out of the room with her sword in hand. Impa dashed out right behind her, but noticed that the Queen was gone.
'I wonder where she is,' thought Impa.
It was then that Impa got her first glimpse of battle. Living creatures fighting living creatures; actually TRYING to kill each other. Impa was horrified.
Her heart was pounding. She could feel the sweat dripping from her face. There was no way she could do this. She could not purposely kill another living creature. So she decided to do something else.
Unleashing a barrage of Deku Nuts at the Gerudo, Impa ran around to every Sheikan and Hylian warrior she could find and used her power to protect them.
"Love of Nayru, bless this soldier and keep him from all harm," she chanted over and over again. She couldn't help notice how the Hylians looked at her when she said this, or when they were shot and the arrow went right through them.
If the Hylians were bewildered, the Gerudo were dumbfounded and infuriated. How DARE this little girl strengthen their enemy? They knew very well what Impa's incantations were: they were a spell. A protection spell, what was worse.
Now they had to get that little Sheikling girl before she could regain her magic and continue casting. They knew what happened if a person cast that spell enough: their magic would be depleted. But something was wrong: this one, after casting what must have been dozens of spells, was still going strong.
"Curse her!" One of them said. "Their precious Nayru is protecting that one."
"Nay," said another. " 'Tis Din strengthening her. Notice how her power fades not."
" 'Tis neither of them, you fools! 'Tis Farore: she has more courage than all of our sisters combined."
With that, those three were distracted by deciding whom was protecting this little one. And while they were, Impa snuck up behind them and threw a Deku nut, blinding and immobilizing them.
"Argh! Curse her!"
"The little rat!"
"We'll show her!"
That they did not. Impa ran with all her might and sped into the graveyard. The Love of Nayru had blessed her as well; the spells she cast would not fade until the last enemy was back where they came from.
"AAHA!"
"We got you now, little Sheikling! Your precious goddesses are too busy giving your friends victory."
"Too bad they don't have a spare moment: we would have given them a ringside seat at your execution!"
Apparently about a dozen or so Gerudo had snuck into the graveyard while the fighting was going on. From behind Impa there came the three whom Impa had blinded.
"Heh heh heh… You can't do anything now!"
"You're out of your precious nuts, aren't you?"
"Not quite…" growled Impa. "I still have---"
Impa was readying a Deku nut in her hand when she felt a hard blow fall across her back. Stunned, she fell to the ground.
"Not anymore, my precious!"
"And you don't want to kill another living being. I saw the look on your face when you came out of that miserable little hut!"
"Aww… Isn't that sweet? Little Sheikling doesn't want to fight!"
That was too much. Impa may have been poorly trained, but she still knew how to fight: she WAS a Sheikah, after all.
Quicker than lightning she shot up and, punching the Gerudo who had stolen her Deku nut, she took off, pelting the Gerudos behind her with nuts. That was the gravest mistake she had ever made.
More Gerudo jumped out from every direction, their grinning faces leering at Impa. They cackled, spat, and taunted. Suddenly a chant broke out among a few. The whole group spread into a circle around Impa and began to chant.
"Anamino. Anamino. Anamino. Anamino. Anamino. Anamino. Anamino. Anamino."
"Stop that!" Screamed Impa.
"Anamino."
"I said STOP!!!"
The next part happened as quick as lightning, but it seemed as if five hours were packed into a single moment.
"Obey the girl. She shall be your downfall," a mysterious voice ordered.
A gerudo in green stepped out from the circle; she appeared to be the leader of the group. She cried out strong and clear, in a voice louder than all the others':
"Anamino. Chabec mi las Senahamec!"
CRACK!!!
Just before the spell hit, a cloaked figure jumped from nowhere in front of Impa.
"NOOOO!" it cried, just before the spell found its new mark, then fell to the ground, silent. It was then that Impa realized who had saved her.
There, lying in front of her, was the cloaked figure of Shira.
