Yes, I know I am evil for making you wait to see who it was from the last chapter. But think, how long did it take for me to put this up? About a week or so? That's not THAT long, now, is it? IS IT!!???????? Of course not.
So, I think for once I'll stop babbling so you guys can read the story!
* * *
A woman in all red could be seen only a yard or so away from the girls. Her hair was a brilliant shade of crimson and fell to the floor. Her eyes were a dark red, they most likely could have passed for brown. Robes in almost every shade of red adorned her figure and fell to the floor along with her hair.
It wouldn't have been so weird if that were all to her. But it wasn't. She was hovering about two or three feet off the ground, and she had a glowing aura around her that was also red.
Not even this was the reason that Michelle and Aholya were staring at her so intently. Their reason was that the woman, if a woman was what she was, looked like a grown up version of themselves. For once in Michelle's entire life, she couldn't think of anything to say.
But Aholya could. "I guess a better question than, "What do you want," would be "Who are you?"
The woman looked directly at Michelle and said, "Don't you remember?"
"A...ah...uh...." was all Michelle could manage.
"Your dreams..."
In the mean time, everyone else was staring at the three. Rynita was totally clue less. Everyone else only had a vague idea of what they were talking about. They didn't recognize this woman or her voice at all.
Michelle finally was able to say, "You....are......."
She nodded.
"Who?" Chrystie whispered frantically to her friends.
The woman turned and looked at her. "My name is Din."
Chrystie's jaw almost fell to the floor. "THE Din?"
"The goddess Din!?" Katrina added.
"The Goddess of Power Din???" Rynita repeated.
"What other is there?" Din asked.
Michelle had finally snapped out of her daze and said, "You can't answer a question with a question."
Din smiled. She said to Michelle, "Argumentative as always, my daughter."
And she snapped right back into it.
"What?" Chrystie exclaimed.
"Wait......wha.....?" Rynita said, blinking her eyes waving her hands in front of her as it to call a time out.
"'Daughter'??" Aholya said.
Michelle didn't hear any of this, because she fell back and was unconscious before she even hit the floor.

Michelle was floating, for the second time in a ten minute span. But this time it was through space. Stars seemed to breeze by her and disappear in the far blackness ahead of her. And then close to her passed what looked like Jupiter. Then Mars. The moon. And then she saw her planet. Earth.
Michelle had seen pictures of Earth from space before. Videos that had been taken from space ships or satellites were not unfamiliar to her. But seeing in person was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. In looking at its beauty, she forgot to breath.
Suddenly, something heading toward the surface of Earth caught her attention. It went towards what looked like the Los Angeles area. She suddenly saw herself moving hyper-speed toward that section on Earth.
She was suddenly standing on a street in downtown LA. There were a lot of people, which was typical for the city. She looked up at the sky, which was sunny and blue. And then, she saw something enter the atmosphere. There was a huge cloud surrounding whatever it was, and as it got closer Michelle could see that it was what seemed to be a huge ball of energy. Right before it hit, Michelle saw a flash of a vision.
She saw the Triforce, and in front of it, there were four feminine figures that seemed to be protecting it. She saw another shadow come and crash into them, scattering them. They fell to the side like rag dolls, dead.
The figure grabbed the Triforce, and it started to glow. Right in front of her eyes, Michelle saw another pair of evil eyes. Michelle reared back and felt herself falling.
* * *
The girl sat up, gasping for breath. She opened her eyes suddenly to the bright blue sky. Then she saw a face over her own. It was Rynita.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked.
"Um," Michelle thought about that. Was she okay. Then she remembered.....
She jumped up, finding that she was sitting against a tree. "What just happened?" She was also thinking in her mind, 'Where are we? What's going on here? Why the hell is that goddess saying that I'm her daughter?'
"So many question, so much that needs to be said, and so little time to do it in," said a voice to Michelle's right.
"You know, that's REALLY infuriating. Why can you read my mind?" Michelle demanded of Din as she turned to her. "And why do you keep talking in riddles!? It's really annoying! NOTHING over the past week had made any sense to me! SOMETHING better start making sense before it drives me insane!" she spilled out as she stomped her foot like a little kid.
At this, Michelle noticed Aholya, who was sitting on the ground, seemingly in a trance. As if one cue, the girl turned her head towards Michelle and said, "You know, I've never had a sister before. Well, apparently I did, but I didn't think so."
Michelle jumped slightly at this comment. Michelle had her brother at home. But that was it. How could any of this stuff be real? Part of her said no, what are you, an idiot? But another part of her told her that it was, without a shadow of a doubt, true.
"Why can't you believe?" Din asked her.
"Because it's ludicrous," Michelle said, not sounding at all like herself.
"'To chase dreams, they gather all in a place confound by ancient legends. To see through the illusion, they discover the united dream. To reclaim what was theirs, they discard the created illusion. To seal the demon, they reach into the past. When the past, present, and future come together, that is when the dream becomes reality.' Hm," Chrystie mused.
"That's what that chick Saria said," Michelle said, turning to her.
"That sounds really familiar. I think that Saria, like she said, was trying to tell is that 'they' is the five of us. You know, we all wound up together, when Michelle came from Earth. Do you think that was a coincidence? Nope. You said you had a dream before you came here. We all did. Well, except for Rynita. But, I think the place is Hyrule, and the illusion is what we are. Or seem to be, now. Maybe, what we are isn't just a bunch of teenage girls," Chrystie found it hard to say the rest.
"But what I don't understand is what was ours? And who is the demon?" Katrina added.
"And how are we supposed to get to the past?" Rynita stated. "What do we need in the past?"
"I suppose we could be of help here, Din." At this voice, a woman in all blue, dressed in a similar fashion to Din, but looking a lot like Chrystie, seemed to simply appear out of thin air.
"Nayru?" Chrystie stated more than asked. The goddess nodded.
"And, Farore?" Katrina said as an afterthought as a woman in green appeared, who, of course, looked a lot like Katrina. Yet another affirmative.
"So have you figured it out by now?" Farore asked them.
"I think....." Aholya said.
"...so," Michelle finish for her, attempting to come around and keep an open mind.
"Let me sum it up for you," Nayru said. "As you most likely have figured, 'Michelle' (Dyvonia) and 'Aholya'
(Aydrin) are sisters, and are the daughters of Din. 'Chrystie' (Nyrulas), you are my daughter. 'Katrina' (Farora), you are the daughter of Farore. (A/N: To make this clear, she is actually saying what is in the parenthesis.)
"Oh," Michelle said, dazed.
"What does that make me?" Rynita asked.
Farore turned to her. "You already know who you are. You carry the blood of Link, the Hero of Time. But the thing you most likely didn't know what that your destiny would be to complete his."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rynita asked.
"It means that when the prophecy you heard from Saria is fulfilled, you will be the one to destroy the demon once and for all," Farore answered her.
"And that makes the demon Ganon," Michelle said, with a kind of grimness that was out of character for her.
"Didn't he say that he would destroy the descendants of Link?" Katrina asked.
"Yes," Michelle said.
"I'm not gonna let that happen," Rynita said. "It seems that a lot is riding on this, and I can't allow my home to be destroyed."
Chrystie broke in. "I'm still not understanding this totally, though. What is it that we need in the past?"
"The Triforce," Din told them.
"So, that is......what was ours?" Chrystie pondered.
"I thought that would belong to you guys," Michelle said, gesturing at the Three Goddesses.
"Had Ganon not taken the Triforce, it would have gone to you when our time was over," Nayru explained.
"I thought gods were supposed to be immortal," Aholya said.
Din laugh slightly. "We aren't as all powerful as morals make us out to be. That's why we couldn't simply stop him from getting it in the first place."
"That's why you needed the Sages," Katrina concluded.
"Yes," Din answered.
"So basically, we need to get the Triforce from the past somehow, and somehow beat Ganon?" Michelle asked.
".........In short, yes." Farore said.
Before Michelle could protest any further, Din said, "It may not make much sense now, but there will be those in the past that can help you."
"And you'll always have this place," Nayru added. "This sort of dream reality that changes constantly, the Heart of the Universe. You can dream to it again, if you all are in the same state of mind to do it."
"The destiny of two world depends on you five. We cannot allow Ganon to totally escape his seal. If that happens, Hyrule...and Earth are doomed." Din said.

**There. Does this make sense now? Our girls aren't exactly who they thought! I hope I explained enough. The parts that are left unexplained are going to be explained in later chapters. Do not worry about stuff being left in the dust. You'll get it all, I won't forget anything! So, please review, and hopefully I will post chapter nine soon!
Thank you!
