Seven fricken years. Nabooru is more frustrated than ever. Saria has been following her like she was her little sister. A part of her finds it flattering, but another part finds it annoying. Being an only child herself, she doesn't really know how to handle this. But Saria won't leave. They are sitting in the middle of nowhere right now (like there is any other place in the stupid Dark Realm). Saria has decided she needs a "big sister" with her. Right now, to Nabooru's relief, she is sound asleep.

"Cute kid, but a bit annoying." Nabooru says to herself. She leans back against the invisible wall. "Gannon, when I find a way outta here...." she says. Looking down at Saria's sleeping form, she grimaces. One more reason to find a way outta here.....so no one else this young has to suffer. She looks back up at the "sky".

"Got a friend?" Nabooru looks around and sees Dalne walking towards her. "Cute kid."

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Nabooru says smirking. Dalne laughs.

"Such as.......?" She replies. Both girls chuckle. Nabooru looks down at Saria again. She is fidgeting. Her eyes open, and she screams. Nabooru and Dalne both try to calm her.

"Saria, relax, it was only a dream." Nabooru is saying. But Saria doesn't hear her.

"STOP PULLING ME!!!" she screams. A bright light glows around her, too bright for Dalne and Nabooru to look at, and they cover their eyes. When it fades away, Saria is gone. For a moment, neither of them moves. Then Nabooru gets up.

"Saria!" she calls. Dalne puts a hand on her shoulder.

"Relax. She was pulled back to the 'real world'." She says. Nabooru looks at her. "Whatever magic put her in here has pulled her out."

"But..Gannon's the one who put her in here isn't he?" Nabooru asks. They both stare at the place where Saria had been. They don't want to think those thoughts. For a moment, both are silent.

"Nabooru...." Dalne says quietly, "Gannon got part of the Triforce." Nabooru's eyes go wide.

"How..?" She says. Then what Dalne said sinks in. "What do you mean 'part'?"

"The Triforce split. It is in three pieces. That is what he spent seven years doing. Searching. And anyone who doesn't cooperate....." Dalne waves her hand to indicate the Dark Realm. Nabooru shudders. This is getting outta hand.

Nabooru is still wandering around, Dalne walking beside her. Neither of them has any idea of what is happening. Few words are spoken between them. There is no real way of telling how long it has been; Nabooru is wondering how she knew it has been seven years.

"Hey Nabs?" Dalne says. Nabooru turns to her. "Take my scimitars when you get back. They had just been forged when I went to the temple that time." She looks down. "I won't need them anymore. At least someone can get some use out of them." Nabooru looks up.

"How about this then," Nabooru says, "remember Releanao?" Dalne nods. "She should be turning sixteen in a couple of months, if I have my time right. How about I give them to her?"

"That would be great." The two girls look at each other again. For a moment, they are silent. Then Nabooru suddenly lurches forward like someone swiped a sword at her stomach.

"Ugh..."

"Nabooru!" Dalne tries to help her, but something is stopping her from getting close enough. Nabooru grits her teeth as four more slices of pain come coursing through her. Then the world goes bright, and she is no longer in the Dark Realm.

The Iron Knuckle armor falls away, revealing a Gerudo female dressed in white. Nabooru ends up almost eating the floor. Her head is still spinning. She finally looks up to see a swordsman dressed in a green tunic. His sword is still in his hand. She looks around quickly. The pieces of the armor are all around her.

"Where am I?" she says. She hears a sound, and tries to stand up. She makes it to one knee. Looking up, she sees Koume and Kotake, looking down at her and laughing.

"Well, well, she's back." Koume says.

"Little girl, but she commands a lot of respect." Kotake says. "I have an idea. Let's recapture her, and then brainwash her again!" Two orbs of light are hurled at Nabooru, and she tries to run. The orbs both hit, and she is transported out of this world yet again.
