)Hola! Me gusta son buen tiempo en me cuarto!
Do you know what that means? It actually makes just about no sense.
Heh heh.
All right, no more insanity. This is a sort of serious chapter, but, oh well.
Have fun!

When Link came to, at first he thought he had teleported to the light temple. It looked very similar. However, instead of six pedestals there were only four, one in each direction of the compass.
"Navi, where are we?" he asked his fairy softly. When the fairy did not appear, he frowned. "Navi?" he said. The he realized he had left Navi behind. Well, maybe it's better that way, he thought, and looked closer at the pedestals, which held water that spilled over the sides into the abyss below.
The one in front of him, in the direction his internal compass told him was East, held water of a vibrant green. Link immediately thought of the Kokiri forest, and for one second he thought he saw the forest in it's clear green depths.
The pedestal in the South held thick silvery gray water, that flow like mercury. This water fascinated Link, for he had never seen water like that.
The pedestal in the West held blue water that glittered and shimmered. It reminded Link of Nayru's Love, one of his favorite spells.
The last pedestal, the one in the North, held black water that flowed sluggishly. This water made Link uneasy, for it reminded him to much of Ganondorf.
Link turned back to the green pillar to see a woman standing there. She had red-brown hair, green eyes, and an intelligent, stubborn face. She was wearing a beautiful green gown, embroidered all over. He arms were tattooed with vines, and flowers bloomed along her ankles. He feet were bare, and she stood on the water as if it was a solid surface.
Out of the corner of his left eye, Link saw another person appear, and he turned to face the new arrival.
This woman was dressed in glittering silver platemail that fitted to her chest perfectly, and a short skirt of black leather. She held a large silver battle ax in her black gloved hands, and a sword was strapped to her side. He looked up into her face and saw that she had ears like his, and blond hair, but there was a foreignness about her that was further given away by her steel gray eyes.
The Lady of the East had the living beauty of a forest. This woman had the icy brilliance of a keen edged blade.
"Welcome Link," said the Lady of the East. Link turned to face her.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"You are in the land of Dulcea. This place is a secret place, known only to the gods."
"Then you must be."
"Yes." Said the warrior-woman. "Here I am known as Evelinara, goddess of technology and war."
"And I am called Varinaya." The Green Lady said.
"That's how you're known here?" asked Link, picking out a clue from Evlinara's words.
"Yes." Said Varinaya.
"So you're known as something else elsewhere?" Link asked.
Evelinara laughed. "You have a way with words young warrior." She said. "By our friends from other worlds we are known as Rhonale and Nori Rockfist. I'm Nori." She jerked a thumb in Varinaya's direction, which Link thought to be a most ungodly gesture. "And she's Rhone."
"So you are only gods in this world?" Link asked.
"Demi-gods, actually, and yes." Said Rhone. "In your world, we would be no more than we truly are; a ranger and an elf."
"What's an elf?"
"Never mind."
"Why am I here?" Link asked.
"We caught you as you fell though the Void. We must admit we had called on the Greater Good for aid, but we hadn't expected an answer so soon. How did you get there?" Nori asked.
"I'm not sure." Link said. "I must have played the wrong song somehow."
"Aah yes. Your ocarina." Rhone pulled the ocarina out form a pouch at her waist. "It was falling near you, so I caught it as well." She turned it over in her hands. "Beautiful little instrument." She murmured, almost to herself. She opened her hands, leaving the ocarina floating in midair. Then she gestured it away, and it flew to Link. He caught it and stowed it away.
"Link, we have a request we must make of you." Nori said.
"What is it you ask of me Link said, standing straighter, almost at attention.
"Our brother, Maugrin Cho-elen, the god of spirits and the next life, has grown power hungry." She said. "He seeks to take our power and destroy us, to destroy our beautiful land and turn it into a realm of nightmares." She looked sadly to her right, to where the pedestal of blue water stood. "Already he has destroyed our sister, Serena Mayanist, goddess of magic and love, and has used her power to corrupt all things she had endowed with her power. We need you to be our avatar, to help us defeat our brother. We can give you the power you need to defeat him. Will you do this for us?"
"I'll do it." Link said. "If that is what you ask." He smiled. "I think that's the first time I was asked to do something." He said dryly.
"Thank you." Said Rhone, a smile playing about her lips. She and Nori stretched out their arms until their palms touched, then extended their free hands toward him.
"Since you left your friend Navi behind," Nori said. "We will give you another fairy to aid you." She whistled three notes. A small ball of green light flew down out of the darkness, coming to a halt next to Rhone.
"Link, this is Fayt." Rhone said. "She is well learned in our land and it's history, so she will be very useful to you."
The fairy flew over to him. "Hi Link!" it said joyfully. "Pleased to make your acqaintance." with that, she flew into his hat, just like Navi used to do. Link thought that would make him sad, but he felt nothing. Odd, he thought. Ganondorf, he thought, just to see what would happen. Nothing. There was like a wall between him and his painful emotions.
"I did that." Rhone said softly. Link looked up at her. "If I had left your emotions as they were, you would have been very unstable."
"I don't mind." Link said. "For once I can think clearly."
"Good." Rhone smiled. Small orbs of light began to collect in the goddesses' outstretched hands. "Find our brother Link. Defeat him. This task does fall to you."
As one, the goddesses spoke. "It is done."
The two orbs of light flew out of their hands, striking Link. He glowed with silvery green fire as the godesses endowed him with their power. Suddenly he knew the goddesses, knew them better than he knew himself. Then he lost himself in that maelstrom of memories and lives, and he blacked out.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~ For those of you wondering out there, The Nori and Rhone here are the same Nori and Rhone in my LotR story, 'cept this one came a lot later.
Thalia- I know the whole Zelda/Ganondorf thing is weird, but I was just trying to really push Link's buttons. I mean, what better thing to drive him into another dmension with?
Do you know what that means? It actually makes just about no sense.
