Nayru, stood by Saria, "Hold onto my arm," said Saria "Alright" Nayru answered. She grabbed Saria's thin little forearm, and then they were suddenly whisked away in a flash of green lights. They reappeared in a cavernous catherdral. "Welcome, to the Temple of Time." Said Saria to Nayru.
The sages were seated in a circle in the temple. The atmosphere was grave indeed. The sages looked up expectantly as Saria stood and began to speak. "As you all have noticed no doubt, we are missing our Sage of the Water, and our Hero." Saria's tone was bleak. "They have been captured by the forces of evil, that we have felt and yet ignored in Hyrule for so long…Whether or not they even still live…We know not…" There were several repressed gasps. "This is their daughter, Nayru, she awoke to find her home in shambles, and her parents gone. She found—She found blood…" There was a long pause. All eyes darted over to the pretty, and softly crying girl, sitting in her mother's chair, but the gazes quickly turned away. Saria began again. "It has been a long time, and we have grown tired, and lazy, but we now must unite, with whatever strength we retain, and we must reclaim our Hero…And our world…For Ganondorf has returned, and now there is no hero to save us…" Saria sat, her eyes glistening, but her brow set in a look of defiance. Nayru wiped her tears away and looked around at the faces, staring at her. She slowly stood. "You're wrong…" Said Nayru slowly, her voice quivering, "There is a hero…" She bit her lip and looked away, "I will go…" And then Nayru ran. She burst through the huge wooden doors into the blinding white winter sun, she ran.
She ran through the village, and over the drawbridge, she ran across Hyrule field, until she found a small hole in the ground. She leapt in, and landed on a small stone platform. She went into the little cave, and she curled up in the corner. She sobbed into her arms, and then fell asleep. She woke up a little later, with a blue glow shining on her face. She heard a soft voice calling her name. "Nayru?" the voice said. She looked up, and saw a shimmering blue ball with wings above her, "What—who are you?" asked Nayru. "I am Novur, and I am your fairy guardian. " "My what?" Said Nayru, sitting up and brushing the blue tresses from her face. "You fairy guardian, I will protect you on your quest." Said Novur shrilly. "Well, thanks, but no thanks Novur," Said Nayru getting to her feet and dusting herself off. "I'm doing this alone." She strode over to the stone platform that was in bathed in a pool of light, and was lifted up out of the hole. She walked briskly across Hyrule field, when a bouncing ball of blue light flew before her once more. "Alone? Hah! You wouldn't last a second alone! And you're a fool if you think your father did." Said Novur, she probably was going to say more but Nayru's angry hand flew through the air, and knocked the fairy into the dirt. "Never-insult-my-father!" said Nayru, shaking with rage, then she turned on her heel and set off in the other direction.
She walked for about 15 yards, and then she started to feel bad, the fairy had only been trying to help… She turned back around to the place where she had hit the fairy, "Novur?" cried Nayru "Novur?" She heard a small scream and looked over on the ground, there Novur lay, and only feet away was a giant gray wolf. Nayru ran up and scooped Novur off the ground and then turned and drew her sword. "What is that thing?" asked Nayru, slipping the trembling fairy into her shirt's pocket. "It's a wolfo!" Cried Novur, "Strike while it's unprotected!" The wolfo dashed toward Nayru, and she ran back wards. The wolf was bearing down on her, and then suddenly she slipped on a rock. She fell backwards onto the ground and tried to pull herself up as the wolfo came in for the kill. She lifted her sword and tried to strike, but it fended her sword swings off." She still struggled to regain her footing as she tried to stand. Then just as she was able to get up, the wolfo struck, his claws swept across her chest and she fell on her back. It came down on her and was about to strike a final blow when it let out a bloodcurdling howl. He rolled off her onto his back, the kokiri sword rammed through his heart. It would have been a time to cheer if it weren't for Nayru's condition. She had three long deep gashes across her chest. She was bleeding heavily, and slipping in and out of conciousness. Novur came out of her pocket and saw her. She muttered something under her breath and a ball of pink light surrounded Nayru, "Protect her from outside harm until I return," Said Novur, "Please don't die," she added in a whisper, and then sped off to the castle.
Nayru awoke on a soft bed. She felt a sharp pain as she tried to breath. A beautiful middle-aged woman looked down at her, "Am I dead?" Said Nayru in wonder, as she surveyed her royal surroundings. "No," Said the woman kindly, "But you had us worried for a while, when we found you, you were lying in a pool of your own blood, positively drenched in it, we were sure you were already dead…" There was a short pause. "Where am I?" Asked Nayru, "You are in Hyrule castle, and I am Queen Zelda,"
