Nabooru is floating in nothing. It isn't even darkness. Just nothing. Her head is starting to hurt from being pulled around so much. She closes her eyes for a moment. There is nothing she can do.

"Din, please………………..what have I done to earn your wrath?" she whispers. A blue light shines near her, and she feels like she is being pulled toward it. "Goodbye………………." She says, then the light engulfs her.

**Chamber of Sages**

"Ah, finally." Rauru says. Emerging from the Spirit symbol is Nabooru. Once she is fully there, however, she collapses. Impa jumps across to make sure she is all right.

"Seems like she has been yanked around one too many times." Ruto says from her symbol. Rauru just stands there grave. After a moment, Nabooru comes around. Impa is still kneeling next to her.

"Take it easy." She says. Nabooru looks up at the Sheikah. Then she looks around.

"Where…………..where am I?" Nabooru says.

"Welcome, Sage of Spirit." Rauru says. Nabooru just stares at him.

"Huh?" she says. Rauru points to a wall. Nabooru follows and sees Link standing on the Sacrifice Platform in the innermost room of the Spirit Temple. He is down on his knees like he just won an extremely difficult battle.

"With the defeat of the evil witches, we were able to bring you here." Rauru continues. "Link will be arriving soon. Then you will go to the Receiving Chamber of Sages. Don't worry, you will know what to do." Nabooru is totally confused.

"Rauru, I don't think she gets it." Ruto says. Nabooru starts to open her mouth when something grabs her with a vicegrip. She looks down and sees Saria giving her the biggest hug in history.

"YOU'RE ALL RIGHT!" she shouts. Nabooru looks down at her and gives her a quick squeeze.

"You scared the crap outta me." She says. Saria releases her and looks up smiling.

"Sorry about that. I didn't know it was Rauru releasing me." Saria is still smiling. "Don't worry about the meeting thing. I knew what to do without Rauru opening his mouth once." Rauru finally gives a small smile.

"So how do I………." She looks up.

"How did you get here?" Impa asks.

"Let's see, TwinRova decided I needed to be made obedient again, shot a couple of orbs of magic at me, I ended up in some dark place, then I was inside some kind of blue light."

"Not your own power?" Impa says. Nabooru shakes her head.

"Impa," Rauru says, "You are the only one who came under your own power."

"Oh." Everyone just stands there a moment, until a faint sparkling comes from the Triforce in the center of the circle.

"Time to go Nabooru." Rauru says. "Don't worry, I'll help you get there and back." Nabooru nods, then clenches her teeth expecting the same stuff as all the other times. But she barely feels it. She slowly starts to rise from the symbol in the "Receiving Chamber of Sages" as Rauru put it, and sees Link standing there.

//So it was Link.// she thinks. "Not bad kid." She says. Then she laughs. "Guess you aren't a kid anymore, huh?" Link gives her a weak smile. "Look what the kid has become, a competent swordsman." At this, Link turns red.

"I don't know about that……………." He says. Nabooru chuckles.

"Give yourself some credit kid." She says. She thinks a moment. "Kid………no wait, Link, the Hero of Time." She smiles again. "I have to stay here now as the Spirit Sage. But I'm gonna help ya get rid of Gannon for good." She is surprised to find herself summoning for the Spirit Medallion. She aims it so it will land near Link. "Take this." She says.

Link looks up about two seconds too late. It bounces off his head and into his hands. He rubs his head a moment and looks at Nabooru. "Nice aim."

"You are the one who didn't look up." She says. "Sue me, I'm new at this." She gives him another smile. "I'll bring you back to outside the Spirit Temple. You will have to go from there." Link nods, and she sends him.

//If only I knew how handsome you would be……….I should have kept my promise.// she thinks. Then she shouts so Link can hear her. "HEY LINK!! Keep the Gauntlets. You earned them!" Then Link is gone. Nabooru sighs, then finds herself back in the Inner Chamber of Sages.

"Handsome huh?" Ruto says. Nabooru sinks on her symbol.

"You heard that!?" she says. Ruto nods.

"In the Receiving chamber, you have to be careful what is in your mind." Rauru explains.

"Oh boy…………." Nabooru is turning red. She composes herself and looks at Rauru.

"So now what?" she says.

"We wait for Link to find the Princess." He says. Nabooru makes herself comfortable. "No Nabooru, she isn't dead." Nabooru shoots up.

"But, how?" Rauru nods in Impa's direction.

"I took her to safety, then helped her disguise herself." Impa says. "It was simpler than we would have liked. A young boy about her age had died, but the records hadn't been changed. So we just gave her his identity." Nabooru sits there a moment.

"So she is now the dead guy?" she asks.

"In a way." Impa replies.

"Isn't that like desecrating the memory of the person or something?" Nabooru asks. Impa shakes her head.

"Given the circumstances, no." she replies. Everyone just sits there a moment. Nabooru looks around. Saria, a Goron she doesn't know, Ruto, Rauru, Impa and herself. Joy. And no one does anything until Link finds Zelda.
