Hello everybody! I is back! You really seem to like me, so I had to
continue. With no wanting to of my own. Anyway, blah blah blah, here
'tis, chapter 5 of Travel to Hyrule! Please r+r!

Chapter 5
I woke up the next morning to find I was by myself. Or at least, that was what I thought until a bright ball of light flew up to my face.
"G'morning Tatl." I said groggily.
"I thought you'd never wake up," She replied as greeting.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked, testing all my limbs to check mobility.
"Outside. They left me in charge." Tatl flew over to a bedside table, and picked up a glass vial filled with a red liquid.
"Here's your medicine! Open up!" She said, flying over to my mouth, which I obediently opened. She dumped the whole lot in. Surprisingly, it tasted faintly of mint. Then a question occurred to me.
"Hey Tatl, can I ask you something?" I asked, shifting a little to get more comfortable.
"Sure."
"Can you tell me who-or what- Rauru is?" I think Tatl was looking at me strangely, from the way she held her body.
"Oh, I forgot, your not from around here. He's the sage of light. Ruto the Zora is the water sage, Darunia king of the Gorons is the fire sage, Saria of the Kokiri is the forest sage, Nabooru the former Gerudo Queen is the sage of spirit, and Impa of the Sheikah is the sage of shadow."
"Wait a minute, what's a Zora and Goron or Kokiri or the other things?" I asked, somehow more confused. Tatl sighed.
"What do you have in your world? The Zoras are a race of fish people, Gorons are a race of rock-eaters, Kokiris are, well I guess you could call them Hylians who never grow up past 10, the Gerudos are a female race of thieves, and the Sheikah are a race of people who know all the old arts."
"Oh." I tried thinking about this, but it made my head hurt to much so I decided to drop it, at least for the moment.
"Why do you want to know?" Tatl asked after a moment.
"About the different races?"
"No, about Rauru!"
"Oh. Well, I had a dream, when I was unconscious. Some voices were telling me to beware of Rauru."
"Why would you have to worry about him? He's the sage of light, he isn't evil. I don't think." Another pause.
"Hey, Tatl? Can I ask you another question?"
"Okay."
"Well...what do you look like without all of your light? I mean, do you have a body?" The light doubled in size.
"Of course I do, but you'd have to kill me in order to see it! This light means I'm alive, dummy!"
"Er, I'm sorry I offended you-"
"You didn't, you're just dumb." I was partly offended and partly amused at this comment, but shifted again to sleep. Just as I did, I felt something cold against my skin.
"What is this?" I said to no one in particular. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a small object, covered in dirt and grime.
"I think it's a key, but it's hard to tell," Tatl said, flying close to look at it. I rubbed it off with a corner of the night gown sleeve I was wearing and studied it closer. It was a key, but like none I had ever seen. The handle was ornately decorated with strange shapes, none I had ever seen. It also had some sort of writing on it.
"Tatl, can you translate this?" I asked, showing her the writing. She coughed, then read aloud:
"Use me to achieve great power,
To make your foes weep and cower,
I am the key
to all eternity,
I will give you rewards great,
None at all which you would hate,
I am the key
to all eternity."
Tatl shuddered. "I think I know what this is," She said in a shaky voice.
"What?" I asked, interested.
"This key, along with the ring, sword, and stone, will make the owner immortal, and indestructible. But at a terrible price."
"What price?" I asked, dropping my voice to a terrified whisper.
"You will have used dark magic to achieve total power, and as such, you will be able to destroy the Goddesses. To become a God yourself. I think we just found out what Ganondorf wants, Evalyn."
