"So you are the princess. That's good to know." Lina said after Amelia had
introduced herself
"So what are your names?" Amelia asked
"I'm Gourry and this is Lina." Gourry said
"Gourry...Lina...Strange...they sound somehow familiar. OK then! The Temple of Time is the entrance through which you can enter the Sacred Realm from our world. But the entrance is sealed with a stone wall called the Door of Time. And, in order to open the door, it is said that you need to collect three Spiritual Stones. And another thing you need is the treasure that the Royal Family keeps along with this legend...The Ocarina of Time! Do you understand?"
"Yeah, we get it." Lina said before Gourry could ask what she's talking about
"That's great! I forgot to tell you...I was spying through this window just now...The other element from my dream...the dark clouds...I believe they symbolise...that man in there!" Amelia said and stepped to the side to allow Lina and Gourry to look in.
"Can you see the man in the awful orange trenchcoat with the unjust eyes? That is Gaav, the leader of the Gerudos. They hail from the desert far to the west. Though he swears allegiance to my father, King Phil, I am sure he is not sincere. The dark clouds that covered Hyrule in my dream...They must symbolise that man!"
"Wow. He's really ugly!" Gourry said. Gaav looked and they jumped back from the window.
"What happened? Did he see you?" Amelia asked
"I think so." Lina said
"Don't worry. He doesn't have any idea what we're planning...yet!"
"So did you tell your father about your dream?" Lina asked
"Yes I did. However, he didn't believe it was a prophecy...But...I can sense that man's evil intentions! What Gaav is after must be nothing less than the Triforce of the Sacred Realm. He must have come to Hyrule to obtain it! Either that or the Sacred Eyebrow Clippers...but that's another story. And, he wants to conquer Hyrule...no, the entire world! Gourry, Lina...now we are the only ones who can protect Hyrule and bring justice everywhere! Please!"
"Yeah, sure. Why not? It's not like we have anything better to do." Lina said
"Thank you!" Amelia grinned for a moment then became serious again "I...I am afraid...I have a feeling that man is going to destroy Hyrule! Or even worse, destroy justice! He has such terrifying and unjust power! But it's fortunate that you have come...We must not let Gaav get the Triforce or the Eyebrow Clippers!"
"What is with these Eyebrow Clippers?!" Lina interrupted suddenly. "Everyone who's in on this keeps mentioning them! What are they?"
"Well..." Amelia sweatdropped "No one really knows for sure."
"...Oh."
"Anyway, I will protect the Ocarina of Time with my power of justice! He shall not have it! You go find the other two Spiritual Stones! Let's get the Triforce before Gaav does, and then defeat him!"
"Sounds good to me!"
"You can go to Death Mountain first. The Goron's live there. Their leader will surely be able to help you. Um.and say hi to him from me." Amelia said, blushing
"Ooh! The Princess has a boyfriend!" Lina teased
"It's nothing like that! Really! We're just friends!" Amelia said, obviously embarrassed "One more thing...Take this letter...I'm sure it will be helpful to you." Amelia said and scribbled something on a piece of paper, which she handed to Gourry.
"You received Amelia's Letter! Wow! This letter has Princess Amelia's autograph and a justice speech! Wait a minute.a justice speech?"
"Yes! Whoever reads that will be inspired to help our just and noble cause!"
"Whatever you say."
"My attendant will guide you out of the castle. Don't be afraid to talk to her." Amelia said. Lina and Gourry turned around and saw her. Gourry's eyes popped out of his head and Lina almost screamed. Put very simply, the lady scared them. She was wearing little if any clothes and what she did wear was all leather. "Really. She isn't that bad." Amelia reassured them, but she didn't sound so sure herself. Gourry and Lina walked very slowly up to this newcomer and what she did was even worse than her appearance. She laughed.
"OH HO HO HO HO HO! I am Naga of the Sheikahs! OH HO HO! I am responsible for protecting Princess Amelia! Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold! OH HO...huh? What's wrong?" she asked Lina and Gourry, who were quivering in fear.
"Please...don't laugh..." Gourry whimpered "It's so painful."
"You are a courageous boy to tell me, Naga the White Sheikah, to stop laughing! OH HO HO...oh right. You are heading out on a big, new adventure, aren't you? My role in the Princess's dream was to teach a melody to the one from the forest. This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal Family. I have played this song from Princess Amelia as a lullaby ever since she was a baby. There is mysterious power in these notes. Now listen carefully..." Naga pulled out a whistle and played a short tune on it, which Gourry surprisingly repeated correctly.
"You've learned Amelia's Lullaby!"
"If the castle soldiers find you, there will be trouble. Let me lead you out of the castle." Naga said and lead them through a secret passageway to outside the castle walls.

They emerged into the Hyrule Field.
"You brave lad...We must protect this beautiful land of Hyrule! Take a good look at that mountain. That is Death Mountain, home of the Goron's. They hold the Spiritual Stone of Fire. At the foot of Death Mountain you will find my village, Krapariko, I mean Kakariko. That is where I was born and raised. You should talk to some of the villagers there before you go up to Death Mountain. The song I just taught you has some mysterious power. Only Royal Family members are allowed to learn this song. Remember, it will help to prove your connection with the Royal Family. The Princess is waiting for you to return to the castle with the stones. All right, we're counting on you! OH HO HO HO HO!" she laughed before disappearing.
"Where did she go?" Lina wondered, looking around
"I don't know! I don't care! I'm just glad she's gone!" Gourry yelped
"So what are your names?" Amelia asked
"I'm Gourry and this is Lina." Gourry said
