Julia sat up when Zelda reentered the room. She'd been laying there while Link questioned her about where she was from and how she had gotten there. He'd scoffed at every one of her answers.
"Do you know what this girl is claiming?" Link sneered. "She claims that she's from another world and that we're characters in a video game...whatever that is."
"...It is so." Zelda sighed.
"Your majesty?" Link asked sounding shocked, "This is complete nonsense! Surely this girl is a servant to Ganondorf!"
"I AM NOT A SERVANT TO GANONDORF!" Julia exploded, "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT!"
"BE QUITE YOU LITTLE DEMON!" Link yelled.
"She is NOT a demon!" Zelda yelled suddenly causing them both to jump. Zelda looked at Link sternly. "I expected you not to jump to such serious conclusions Link. I'm disappointed in you."
"Sorry your majesty." Link grumbled.
"Now Master of Reality," Zelda said calmly, "I will do my best to explain everything to you. Okay?"
"Quit calling me that! My name is Julia!" Julia snapped.
"Alright then Julia. There's an old prophecy about how one day a mighty warrior will one day appear in Hyrule from another world. It is said she will have all knowledge of the Hero of Time. She must then go on a quest to 5 other worlds to find the sacred Spirit Stones. Once she has them all she must place them in special pedestals in the temple of the castle of nightmares in order to defeat the council of evil."
"The council of evil?" Julia asked frowning.
"My guess is that Ganondorf escaped from the sacred realm and revived more villains from those video games that you spoke of. They probably have your friend Kate too."
"Well look, as much as I like the thought of risking my life to save your sorry ass I'd rather go home." Julia said firmly.
"You can't, destiny has chosen you to do this. You can't go home until you've done this."
"The sooner the better!" Link said eagerly grabbing Julia by the arm and shoving her towards the door. "Bye! Have a nice day! Don't ever come back ok?"
"Just a minute!" Zelda yelled, "When she goes to each world she'll pick up new guardians to bring with her, STARTING WITH YOU!"
"WHAT?!" Link yelled. "Do I have to?"
"Yes!"
"PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME GO!" Link pleaded.
"PLEASE DON'T MAKE HIM GO!" Julia agreed.
"Enough! Link, you'll go with Julia or I will exile you from Hyrule!" Zelda snapped. Her words left no room for argument.
"Fine." Link grumbled angrily. "I'll baby-sit the little whiner...but I won't like it."
"I'm not a child Zelda!" Julia yelled, "I'm 17, same as you! I don't need Link!"
"I'm afraid I must insist." Zelda sighed, "Now go change your clothes."
"What's wrong with the ones I'm wearing now?" Julia asked looking down at the red t-shirt and jeans she was wearing.
"I'm sure in your world those clothes are available everywhere but here they'll make you stick out like a sore thumb. I've laid some clothes out for you in the next room now go change."

"ZELDA?! HAVE YOU TAKEN A GIANT STEP AWAY FROM YOUR SENSES?!" Link yelled when Julia had left the room.
"No Link," Zelda sighed, "Last time I checked my senses were perfectly intact."
"That little punk cannot possibly fight!" Link yelled.
"Maybe, but still...that girl is our only hope."
"Pah! Doubt it."
Just then the door to the next room swung open and Julia walked in. Link's mouth dropped open in shock. Julia was wearing an orange-red sleeveless top that had two long blue ribbons hanging off the back with green short-shorts with a black belt. She had orange boots on and there was a samurai sword hanging from a loop in the side of the shorts. She also had black fingerless gloves with a red X on the back of each one. Link had to admit she looked really pretty.
"What are you staring at?" Julia asked.
"Nothing." Link grumbled folding his arms and looking away.
"The first stone is in the temple of time." Zelda said nodding. "Let's go."

Zelda walked up to the front platform of the temple. She waved her hand and a small compartment opened up. Inside was a small green stone. It was about the size of a large marble and had an odd symbol painted on it.
"Take it." Zelda said nodding to Julia. Julia reached out and took the tiny stone in her hand. It seemed to glow with a brilliant light and Julia could feel warmth inside it as she ran her fingers along the smooth surface.
"Only Julia can touch the Spirit Stones because of those spells painted on it. So be sure no one else messes with them, the results could be disastrous." Zelda explained. She handed Julia a small drawstring bag. "Keep them in here."

They started out of the temple and out into Hyrule field.
"You can use the stones to travel between the different worlds. Just look into the stone and concentrate hard and you'll be there." Zelda explained.
"Come on." Link sighed, "Let's get this over with."
"Hold on." Zelda interrupted. "I need to talk to Julia about something."
Link nodded and folded his arms and waited expectantly.
"Girls only," Julia said waving her hand, "Wait over there."
Link rolled his eyes and walked over to the left. After about five minutes Julia came back. But she seemed upset about something.
"What's wrong?" Link asked frowning.
"Hmm? Oh! Nothing! Let's go." Julia said quickly.
"Good luck to both of you. Be careful. And try not to fight." Zelda said with a weak smile.
"Don't push your luck." Link grumbled. Julia looked into the stone. She could see the faint outline of a place in the center of the stone. Suddenly there was a whirring sound as both she and Link vanished.
