Aryll awakes on the beach of Outset Island.
Link: About time you got up. And then you say I'm the heavy sleeper.
Aryll: Big Brother? Wh-why are we here? We were at Morrigan's fortress! We were trying to rescue our friends.
Link: (chuckles) Aryll, I think I hit you way too hard on the head during our training session. We were here the whole time from what I can remember anyway.
Aryll: (desperately) I know you aren't that light-headed Link!
Link: Heheh. You must be really out of it. I'll get you something for that bump on your head. (Gets up and goes to house)
Aryll: …that all couldn't have been a dream could it…That felt way to real…Am I going crazy? And why is it so hot!
Link: (comes back and is heard off screen) Come to think of it…It is kinda stuffy out here huh? (puts an ice pack on her head) Don't think too much…
Aryll closes her eyes and tries to calm herself, but the heat just continued to rise. When Aryll does open her eyes she sees the entire Outset Island engulfed in flames.
Aryll: !!! (panics) Grandma! Link! What's going on!! (notices Link is gone) Link? Where are you!
An Darknut tries to ram his sword between Aryll's eyes. As if appearing from nowhere Link takes the attack for his sister through the stomach. Link's blood splatters on the young girls face who was now full of chagrin and despair.
Link: Just run…Go! (succumbs to the grim reapers calling)
Aryll, with teary eyes blindly ran as far she could. With every step the girl felt as though her feet was getting heavier.
Aryll: (to self) I wanted to get strong so I could help my Big Brother…but in the end I couldn't do anything…why! (becomes harder to breathe as she slows down) Big Brother…Grandma…I'm so sorry…(finally can't move anymore and collapses due to lack of oxygen)
-------------------------------------------------
Tetra finds herself in a royal garden. As she walks around she enters a labyrinth and becomes lost in the puzzles depths.
Who are you?
Tetra: What?
Are you suppose to me?
Tetra: I'm kind of busy right now. I don't have time for your riddles.
Then you do not have time for our riddles
Tetra: The hell?
You have no time for the riddles which make up us. You have no time for me…So how do you expect to lead an entire land and decipher your followers problems if you cannot decipher yourself?
Tetra: Myself?! HA! I know myself better than anyone does!
Then you're a pathetic liar.
Tetra: You are beginning to annoy me!
You always wish to fight because you know I dislike it. You pretend to be strong because you think being proud is your true face…You haven't reflected yet.
Tetra: (unnerved) Who are you…
You are me and I am you. What you truly are. You are only my disguise.
Tetra: You…I'm not your bloody shadow Zelda! I'm my own person! You're just… extra baggage that I want out of my mind pronto!
So why did you hesitate before you could say that? Because you know it's true. I do not know how a disguise was able to think and act on its own but you have no true say in this matter. Giggle I see, Now I see why you are so desperate to exist. You have fallen in love. Is the object of your affection one who bears the courage?
Tetra: (hides her blush) None of your Goddess damn business!!
I'm surprised a shell could inhibit such emotions…It will never happen you do not exist in reality…Only a mirage that take guise for me in the land above…A shell that I will no longer need when the new Golden land has been created.
Tetra covers her ears and tries to leave the labyrinth she eventually runs into a mirror but rather than see herself she saw Zelda staring back at her. Tetra angrily pushes the mirror down.
-------------------------------------
Komali and Makar both enter a room and sees Medli's sleeping form on the ground.
Komali hastily runs up to the Earth sage to see if she's ok. When Komali runs up to Medli he realizes that Medli's eyes look completely deprived of life, soulless, empty.
Komali: Medli! It's me! Komali! Don't you recognize my voice? HEY!
Medli: (shifts her head zombie-like to Komali) ko-m..li?
Komali: (relived) Yeah that's almost my name but it's me!
Medli: (eyes still out of it) I saw you die…I…
-------------------------------------------
Morrigian's voice in the shadows: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Chapter 7- Sacrifices
Morrigan: Hehehehe. So little hero you stupidly fell into my trap. So? Are you enjoying your new home? …
Morrigan looks on in annoyance as her mocking villain act was completely ignored by Link, with was playing with a Yo-yo and the three statues, who were playing Poker. {A/N: Wonder how though, they don't have hands…}
Tower Statue #3: You said something there kid?
Link: (still plays with the Yo-yo) No. (does a trick) Hey I walked the dog!
Morrigan: twitch Do any of you mortals real-
Tower Statue #1: (corrects her) Mortal and demi-gods.
Morrigan: (rolls eyes) Do you peons realize who you are ignoring!?
Tower Statue #2: Anybody got any 5s?
Tower Statute #3: Ugh! Ditz! For the 90th time we're playing Poker!
Link: (still plays with Yo-yo) I thought you were playing Blackjack.
Morrigan: Hey listen to me!
Tower Statue #1: So anybody saw any good sunsets lately?
Morrigan: LISTEN!!!
Tower Statue #3: Y'know what Poker sucks! Let's play Egyptian Rat instead.
Morrigan: I'll BLOW YOUR ASSES TO KINGDOM COME!!!
Link: (stops playing with the Yo-yo and turns to Morrigan) 'Hoy, do you mind keeping it down? I can't concentrate.
Morrigan: You want something to concentrate on little man? (charges a dark magic ball) Well I got your something. RIGHT HERE!
Tower Statue #1: Hey, that's no way to treat someone who…Has what you want. Or have you forgotten that the boy has one of the Goddess crystals?
Morrigan considers this for a moment and decides to bring the cage where Link and the statues stood to where she was. She begins to laugh manically as if she was the one who made that plan.
Link: Since you went through all this trouble mind freeing us too?
Morrigan: I don't see why not? You and your little friends are all going to die anyway.
Link: (steps out of the cage grasping Tetra's dagger in his hand) Considering the fact I tricked a "mighty being" such as yourself I'd say my friends will be just fine.
Morrigan: (raises eyebrow) You have a lot of faith in them don't you? It would hurt you to no end if…they should be harmed. But wait! That could never happen because you being the little hero that you are would save them from such perils!
Link: (beginning to worry) Where are you getting at…
Morrigan: (throws up the Great Fairy Sword in the air which remains aloft) Let's just say you can't be facing me while trying to rescue your friends from their own personal demons at the same time…Heh. Then again, that's the only thing you could never rescue your friends from!
Link: What have you done with them!
Morrigan: They're in the place where you can never retrieve them. Even if the goddesses did intervene with my full power, that alone was more than enough to transport them to their worst nightmares. I mean I wouldn't want them to interfere with our little duel? Hundreds of years back the Hero of Time defeated me…That little barbarian! With his small Hylian brain how could he understand the beauty of my plan…Now you, the little Hero of Wind also hopes to destroy the plan that took me so long to plan!? NEVER!!!! You're too soft!
Do you know the era that the Hero of Time existed in? An era of constant war and destruction! The boy even lost his parents to war when he was still an infant! He fought alone in against an army of what it seemed thousands…How could you ever hope to compare to him with your peaceful days.
Link: ….
Morrigan: Hahahahahahahaha! You can't! Can you?
Link: (serious) Do you enjoy hearing yourself talk?
Morrigan: You insignificant WORM!! (uses her magic to launch the Great Fairy Sword at Link. Link simply reflects it with a swipe of Tetra's dagger.) Wh-What! It's a fluke no way you're mere trinket could defeat the Great Fairy Sword! (grabs the sword and does a Soul Charge before rushing at Link) The Hero of Time's fighting sprit is in this blade! THERE IS NO WAY-
Link: A weapon doesn't make a man…(swats Morrigan to the ground with a strong parry) …You really are a coward. Now you're fighting me with stolen fighting abilities…I know I could never match the Hero of Time…actually I've been quite lucky all this time…But I don't need luck to finish you! (holds up Farore's pearl) A little help from your friends never hurts…Or is that why you're mad? 'Cuz you don't have any!
Morrigan: (smirks) Not bad…Maybe I'll enjoy this… (heals herself with Swords abilities) Now then little Link, Come at me with everything you and are! … You and your friendship!
Link wastes no time to charge at Morrigan without any regret.
Link: (to self) Ok guys I don't know what happened to all of you…But I know you'll all be ok! Please don't let me down!
--------------------------------------
{with Komali, Makar and Medli}
Makar: Hey Earth Girl! Snap to it! Geez! Is The Princess and little Aryll somewhere acting like drooling zombies too?
Komali: …
Makar: YO! Bird boy!
Medli: (touches Komali's cheeks) Kom..li…r-
Makar: Oh brother! Do we have to make such a big skit of this?! Komali just carry her on your back and let's bounce!
Komali: Geez, are you insensitive!
Medli: …(glares at Makar)
Makar: ?
Komali: Medli, Don't worry I'll carry you…
Medli: Pr-Prince? You're…
Komali: Shh (puts his hand on Medli's face) It's my turn to look out for you.
Medli: (her eyes return to normal) Komali? Makar? What am I doing here? Better yet…Why are you two here?
Komali: Just think of us as the cavalry. Your ankle is quite swollen I'll carry you.
Makar: Yeah. She can't be that heavy. (Medli glares at him. Makar ignores her dirty looks and notices her hair) DAMN!
Medli: (looks very threatening at the moment)
Makar: (quickly changes his original comment) Girl you look you fine! What happened?
Komali: (sweatdrops) Can we just go?
The group all agree on that and walk to the exit of the room. Nothing further harmed them along the way.
----------------------------------
{With Aryll}
Aryll walks through a black and white background which is full of lifelessness. Trees were leafless and brittle, the water deprived soil would make crunch every step she made.
It was then that Aryll saw a temple which lied in ruins and sitting on the top of stairs was a woman in her early 20's which greatly resembled the Hero of Wind's younger sibling. This sight bewildered Aryll, who at first shrugged off the thought since she felt 'she could never grow up to be that beautiful.'
The woman notices Aryll and waves happily at her.
Adult Aryll: Are you enjoying this?
Aryll: I'm sorry I don't get what you mean?
Adult Aryll: (smiles) I mean living your lie of a life.
Aryll: !
Adult Aryll: It must suck being the little sister to a big hero. He no longer has the time to play games with you. He'd rather be with his friends.
Aryll: So? The Breeze-gumi are my friends too! They're just closer to Link! After all I met them through him!
Adult Aryll: So you're saying that his friends are more important than blood? (Aryll is phased by that remark) Why would he only want to spend a week with you While he spends a lifetime with them? Doesn't that…upset you?
Aryll: It hurt at first yeah…But Big brother…he…
Adult Aryll: So who needs him? That vision you saw was true after all. It was your future. Your future and my past!
Aryll stood awestruck at what she said.
Aryll: …what…are you?
Adult Aryll: It only gets worse! Link started to make all kinds of excuses to not as he considered it 'drag' us along. I bet he's already told you something like "I have enough curiosity for us both" or some crap like that. (Aryll gave a saddened look because he already did) Over time Link doesn't bother to visit us at all saying to his little friends that you're a bother. We're a bother! And you know what your "friends" did? They laughed.
Aryll shook her head in disbelief constantly as tears managed to squeeze out of her tightly shut eyelids. Though she didn't want to believe it, her clenched fist acted out the bitter pain called truth.
Link had already tried ducking away from her and making up all kinds of lame excuses so she couldn't tag along on one of his mini adventures. And she remember what she said to Link this morning before Din and Nayru were captured by Morrigan.
------------------------------
{Flashback}
Aryll: Big Brother Diana and Nikki fight a lot huh?
Link: (chopping some vegetables) Well, that's just how some siblings are Aryll. (grins) We fight all the time.
Aryll: Aw, we don't fight that much…I know! Why don't we…
Link: If you're gonna say what I think you are. Then no. This is something that those two have to sort out.
Aryll: But- But! Faye gets so sad when she sees them fight!
Link: Yeah, but this is something Faye has to try to figure out for herself and that Diana and Nikki are gonna have to realize who they're hurting when they do this. Even if we wanted to intervene we'd just make things worse. There's many different people out there Aryll, you'll have to learn to deal with it.
Aryll: And would you still say such heartless things if you weren't hanging around Tetra? (leaves angrily)
Link says and does nothing. His face was completely emotionless.
{End Flashback}
-------------------------------
Before Farore threw her life away to allow everyone to enter the Tower and gave Aryll the goddess pendant; a sign of their common bond and friendship.
-------------------------------------
{Flashback}
Aryll and Farore, the Goddess of Courage in the mortal guise of Faye sat on Aryll's blue flying cloud while enjoying the aerial scenery.
Farore: (Notices Aryll's book) That book looks quite old there Aryll. Know what's in it?
Aryll: I'm not into stuff like this…but Big Brother lives for this stuff. It's suppose to be some kind ancient book on the era of the Hero of Time. (chuckles sadly) It's funny, Big Brother is a Hero himself yet he still glorifies the Hero of Time like he did when we were little. But now even more so…
Farore: You don't look too happy.
Aryll: I said some stupid things to Link…and that's why I got him this…I just want to show I'm sorry…I had no right to go that far…
Farore: Hehehe. Siblings fight. That's all there is to it. (Aryll looks at her confused) Don't get me wrong I get really sad when I watch my sisters fight. (to self) Considering how strong they are they're liable to kill each other and take this planet with them. (To Aryll) It just hurts so much to see the two allow their anger to go the unbelievable lengths they do to hurt each other. They can be so immature!
Aryll: How about when they ignore you and do what they want.
Farore: (looks angry) I hate it… But as far as they're concerned I'm the runt of the litter. The last, third place…the ugly duckling among two swans. But that's what's funny they do nothing but worry about me and cry buckets when I disappear for even five minutes. They care about me…they just can't accept the fact that I'm just as strong too. But how can I show that if they keep babying me.
I bet you feel this way with Link. (Aryll nods) I also bet you're getting a little jealous of Link's friends, seeing them as competition since they're who he loves to hang out with…but that doesn't mean he put you behind him. You're his sister. And with a girl as sweet as you he must be beaming with pride to know you're related.
Aryll: (blushes a bit) Faye do really think you're ugly? You aren't.
Farore: (ruffles Aryll hair) And you aren't useless…you play a greater role than you think.
{End flashback}
------------------------------------
Aryll shook smiled happily brightly to her adult form while her goddess pendant shone brightly.
Adult Aryll: What's this!
Aryll: You fooled me into allowing my jealousy to consume my better thoughts…You made my trust in my brother and my friends waver…All because I was a bit saddened! If you're my future than I'd rather die now! (pulls out her bow and arrows) I won't ever allow myself to become like you!
Adult Aryll: You're naïve now but you'll see for yourself!
Aryll: No! You must be from some other universe where Link doesn't care for you period! If you really are my future then you'd know better than me how Big Brother dies! (Adult Aryll hisses making Aryll give her a disgusted smirk) You're the selfish one…
Aryll shoots her arrow at the woman's heart. The room begins to blur everything that was once gloomy turned back into Tower ruins. Before everything changed back to normal Aryll saw Link's image smiling at her, Aryll returns the images smile with her own before disappearing with the reforming room.
------------------------------------
{With Link}
Link was full of cuts and bruises as he breathed heavily, glaring daggers at Morrigan who, thanks to the powers of the Great Fairy Sword continually healed herself.
Morrigan: I admit little boy, you have talent…BUT without a weapon crafted by the fairies you don't stand a chance. Even with Farore's power. Give up already!
Link: (wipes the sweat from his brow with the arm that he held his Mirror shield) Are all fairy weapons this cheap? I still got a lot fight left in me…(drinks some Elixir soup and becomes fully revitalized) See? You're not the only one with surprises.
Morrigan: I take back my earlier comments. You prove to be amusing… (A red spot in her abdomen glows up {A/N remember that's where she stuffed Din's crystal}) Aha ha ha ha ha. Amusing, but very much dead. The Goddesses revival begins!
Link: (notices Farore's crystal is doing the same) Damn! It's too soon! I have to end this.
Morrigan: (begins to slowly shape shift) You do that Hero, (voice becomes deeper and more monstrous) It'll be my pleasure to incinerate every cell in your puny body!
Morrigan transformed herself a huge red Dodongo. Morrigan spits a huge fireball in Link's direction. The magic induced flames are too much for the boy's mirror shield to block and can easily breach the defenses of his magic shield but that doesn't stop him from using either.
Farore's crystal flies up and teleports Link behind Morrigan.
Link: (attacks Morrigan but bounces off due to the protective leather skin) …This is getting no where fast! (Morrigan tail slaps Link causing him to crash into the wall. The force of the hit from both wall and tail shook Link up some.)
Morrigan: Is that the best you can offer me hero? You and that worthless Goddess of Courage? Din alone all I need to end your pitiful life! (Opens her mouth to shoot another fireball at Link)
Link: (sees the Great Fairy Sword lying on the ground from a distance) So you're finally admitting you can't win on your strength alone!
Link throws a bomb inside her mouth which explodes inside her belly. Link then makes a mad dash for the sword.
Morrigan: ARRGGH!!! YOU LITTLE ANT! When I get my hands on you I'll…
Link: (voice heard off screen) …Wished you never dropped your weapon.
Link stood tall and completely healed while he gripped the Great Fairy Sword. With Tetra's dagger safety back in its sheath Link gives Morrigan a mean little grin that said 'Payback'
----------------------------------------
{With Tetra}
Tetra walked through the grassy field of a beautiful lake. {A/N: Lake Hylia} There she sees a very elegantly dressed girl exactly her age weeping as she sat on a log.
Tetra wasn't even going to bother to ask her what was her problem she just walked by her. The girl was the one who noticed her.
Zelda: sniff So I guess you came to finish me off?
Tetra: You are…? (notices the familiarity)
Zelda: You are me and I am you. Two faces of one coin. Two sides of a mirror that make us whole.
Tetra: Hmph, Sounds a heck of a lot different from what you told me earlier!
Zelda: ? I can't speak with you.
Tetra: (annoyed) Look, I don't appreciate the changes that have been overtaking me ever since I found out I was you-I mean a princess. I don't like all this sentimental garbage you been impairing me with! Pack up your hinny and get out of my mind now!
Zelda: but…I was always there…I was just dormant until three years ago…I…sigh Then go ahead and finish me…
Tetra: I just want you out. I don't want to harm you…
Zelda: Then why are you so desperate to be rid yourself of me…
Tetra was taken aback by Zelda's question. Ever since she was young her mother had always told her about the sacred treasure that lied under the sea, the treasure that had so many ties to the Golden Land that she loved to hear every night before bed. When Tetra's mom died she vowed to continue her mothers search and find that treasure.
Tetra never saw the part she played in this whole situation was so huge…Being an actual/final living breathing descendant of a Royal Family. ROYALTY! Tetra could never accept that fact, she wasn't the type to be all prissy, girly and sweet acting. She wanted to be out their where adventure and thrills called to her. Having the wind blow into her face as she breathed in the fresh sea air as she set sail to new adventures.
What bugged her even more was that when she became Zelda her entire mental state was practically wiped out! As if a whole new personality took over her mentally and appearance wise.
After Ganondorf's defeat the girl began to notice her more Princess like behavior…this bewildered her crew (minus Link) and more over pissed her off. Tetra knew she had to find the new golden land' it was her destiny to do so, the thought of the wild adventures she'd have while honoring her mother was too much a pleasing thought. But she then realized after a chat with her laid back Outset friend that may not be the only change she'll have to face.
-------------------------------------
{Flashback}
A 12-year-old Tetra walked on deck to see Link (in the entire Hero's clothing) sitting by the ships tip fishing. A huge kool-aid smile ran across his face.
Tetra: And what are you so happy about?
Link: Just realizing how peaceful things are…Its nice isn't it?
Tetra: (shrugs) You're way too slack on things.
Link: (closes eyes in a meditative manner) Something bother you?
Tetra: Psh, Me? Whatever. More like curious.
Link: About?
Tetra: If you'd stop interrupting me…I'm just curious about what we'll encounter on our quest…how long will it take? How will we know that the mass of land we find is truly the golden land?
Link: (grins) Is that all!? It's easy if you paid attention to the stories about the Hero of Time the land is golden and has the triforce acting as the sun.
Tetra gave Link a death glare. Which he responds to by giving a nervous chuckle. The Pirate girl rolls her eyes at her friend.
Tetra: Goddesses, your dumb when you do that…It's so annoying…
Link: (blankly) Do what?
Tetra: (gets back on topic) Heh. Only a little kid like you would believe such folk tales. It's called the Golden Land because it held the golden power not because it was golden. And you're suppose to be a "Hero" yourself. Please… (Tetra sees a bit of a hurt expression on Link's face which he tried to cover with one of his lazy smiles but it wasn't working. The girl immediately feels guilty) And in any case…So far every land we passed has been an Island…Makes you almost wonder if there really is a mass of land.
Link: (face very serious) We will and there is…We may live in the Region called the Great Sea but a sea can only go so far on its own…at least that what King told me once, though I never got it until now…(gets off from place and turns to the lower chambers) In any case Princess when we do find the land you're gonna have to lead. That's your destiny too. (grins) So you might want to try to start wearing dresses more often.
{End Flashback}
-----------------------------------
The thought of wearing a dress did annoy Tetra but she was more displeased about the idea of giving up her life, the life she loves for a life of another…
Tetra: …even if it is destiny…
Zelda looks at her sympathetically.
Zelda: (understanding) I see. (smiles brightly) But life is full of changes you can't expect to be an adventurer all of your life…You have to settle down someday…(Tetra glares at her) I don't want to "Take over you" How can I…I AM you. The last heir to the royal family. This is the guise of the princess, the side that is the outcome your destiny. And then there's your true face as far as those close to they are concerned…The side that determines your destiny.
…Either way you cut it we reflect one another, that's what stops you from being a full fledge blood lusting pirate and what makes me stronger. Or have you already forgotten that battle with Ganondorf? (gives a sly grin) or why you find it easier to be sweet to Link?
Tetra: I remember the Ganondork part but, Link? …what's that slack-a-daily got to do with this. (smirks) Heh, I see where you're getting at…Fine I guess I could tolerate you…a little while longer…Just no more impulses that deter my usually better judgment.
Zelda smiles fondly at her before disappearing. A bright golden twinkle appears in the sky as Nayru's crystal floats out of Tetra's pocket circling around her continuously.
A Golden sword fell to the ground and dug itself deeply into the ground. Nayru's crystal leaves Tetra's side and constantly hovers around the sword until it was completely surrounded by a blue aura. {A/N: Allowing Tetra to lift it} Nayru's crystal then bounced up and down in mid-air as if telling Tetra to take the weapon.
Not wanting to stay here any longer Tetra does what she thinks the crystal wants her to do and picks up the sword. Tetra like the others who completed their challenge disappeared into the light.
--------------------------------------------
{With Link}
The very injured, badly wounded and burned Hero of Wind continued his battle against Morrigan in her Dodongo form. {Also called her ascended form 1: Power} Link narrowly avoids getting stomped by the behemoths giant scaly foot as he runs under the safety of Morrigan's belly where he uses the Great Fairy Sword to stab at the source to all of Morrigan's added power.
The fallen fairy in Dodongo's guise gives an ear drum shattering scream as Link uses the sword to dig deeper into her skin which allows Din's crystal to flow with fiery strength that freed her from her prison. Grabbing both crystals Link ran for safety from the rampaging beast.
Morrigan: H-HOW!? Why…WHY DID THIS HAPPEN!!!
Link: Because the power of the Goddesses aren't yours to control…nor are they mine or anyone else's! Nor will they be ever yours to have! I'll make sure of that!
Morrigan: (greatly paralyzed with pain) Big talk coming from one who needs reassurance from his friends to win his battles…This isn't done.
Makar: (voice heard off screen) So, The Hero of Time needed the sages help to defeat the Evil King. Do you really think it was his power alone that beat him?
Link and Morrigan (still her Dodongo form) Look upwards to see Makar, Komali and Medli all on the upper balcony.
Link: Guys! About time you showed up.
An Ice arrow hit Morrigan in the eyes.
Aryll: Don't forgot about us Big Brother. (gestures to herself and Tetra and gives a mischievous smile) Or have you already forgotten about your baby sis and your girlfriend?
Everyone in the room freezes in their place
Tetra: (sweatdrops while blushing) His…what…
Link: (face is beet red) r-Real funny Aryll
Despite the sudden awkwardness Tetra walks up to Link and gives him the Gold Sword. The blue glow now leaves the sword and begins to shine in the young Hero's hands… With three Goddess all still in their crystallized states Link knew that they wouldn't be enough to lock away or better yet destroy the fallen fairy.
With both, The Great Fairy sword, once used by the Hero of Time and the Gold Sword, a sword which the fairies made him to fight fairy magic The 15-year-old Hero of Wind was ready to throw down all the cards for this one. As was Morrigan who began to create a black magic wall around herself, Link and Tetra who was closest to Link and the walls radius.
Morrigan: (returning to her normal state but is now giant and has a hideous face) You all lie! I don't and won't believe that "your power" is greater than mine! No fairy had my powers back in the days of Hyrule! NO ONE!!! Hero, I'll destroy you and your precious little princess with a flick of my wrist YOU JUST WATCH! I will not submit! Never!
Tetra: (helps a very fatigued Link hold the Gold sword over his head) Goddesses, she talks a lot!
Link: Yeah, too much. Ready? (Tetra nods)
Tetra lets go of Link's arms as the heavy sword hits the ground creating a shockwave of Golden flames which begin to engulf Morrigan. The pain was unimaginable for the fallen fairy but she was too deep in denial to really care about pain. She began to charge up for a dark magic spell of her own.
Tetra: whistles Stubborn isn't she?
Link: (sympathetic) I kinda feel sorry for her…Just look at how desperate for power she is…That's sort of like an insane obsession to obtain her own dreams that cannot ever be fulfilled…
Link began to think back to his final confrontation with Ganondorf. Though Link hated what the Guerdo King has done to all those innocents, his loved ones and allies he still couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy after hearing his tale of how he grew up and why he desired all that power…
Envy…It was a horrible concept…That can turn the most docile person into a heartless monster. Link turned to Tetra, his traveling companion and friend and wrapped his arms around her in one embrace.
Tetra was completely thrown off guard by what Link did. She weakly tried to struggle from his grip but quickly fell into the comfort of being held by him like this and returned the hug.
Morrigan: One last lovers embrace till the end?
Link: Tetra…thanks for everything from beginning to end.
Tetra: What are you planning…
Link: You were a great friend is all I'm saying…My best friend really. chuckles Don't worry I don't hold any of your past attitudes against you…I'm actually glad that you are you. That meant a lot to me as do you. Now find that golden land and take care of yourself. Tell Aryll everything will be ok.
Link releases his hold on Tetra and drunkard-like manner stumbles backwards away from her only to fall on his rear.
Tetra: Don't even think of it! You can't fight on your own like this!
Link doesn't answer her he gets to his feet quickly and runs to Morrigan with both Swords in his hand. When Tetra tried to stop him by following suite Nayru's crystal creates a blue barrier that blocks Tetra from going any further. Farore's crystal warps Tetra out of Morrigan's barrier and back to where Link's friends lied in wait.
The others didn't need an explanation that Link had gone it alone. The only thing that did surprise them was Morrigans barrier shining with a gold light before it completely shrunk and disappeared into nothingness.
It was a mixture of feelings at that moment…Link, the one dubbed Hero of Wind and Wind Waker had vanished. No, he sacrificed himself to defeat Morrigan. Many tears began to fall from the Breeze-gumi at the loss of their close friend and leader. All cried but Tetra who struggled to hold in all the sorrow. Aryll pats Tetra's back sympathetically, simply replying.
Aryll: (not even realizing the Goddess pendant is glowing like crazy) Just let the pain and sorrow take over…It's for the best…
Tetra: And what will crying do!? It won't bring him back! It won't let me-us see his face again…Dammit! Why didn't the little fool listen to me!
The group watched Tetra in silent agreement. Their green clad buddy had bit the big one. He was probably polishing his weapon collection in Heaven right now…
A small triangle appears in the center of room plummeting from that light was the supposed dead Waker of Winds himself.
Link: I'm…alive? (looks to see the entire group looking at him with bugged out looks which slowly evolved into smiles of overwhelming joy) 'Hoy.
The group all with wavering eyes all ran up to Link in hopes of tackle hugging him. Tetra beat them all to him and gave Link a heavy punch in the right cheek which sent the boy flying. Makar and Komali stares at Tetra with freaked out faces. Only Aryll laughs, Medli just rolls her eyes.

{Days later}
The Tower of the Gods returned to normal. Link on his trusty boat King of Red Lions dropped the Great Fairy Sword In the exact spot that the portal to Hyrule castle used to be.
Sounds of an Ocarina are suddenly heard. Link could've swore for a moment that He had just seen the Hero of Time looking at him. Giving him a determined nod before his image disappeared.
Link: So that ends that chapter huh King?
KORL: I would say so.
Link: (sad) So I guess it's back to the castle for you then?
KORL: With the Master sword still acting as Ganondorf's seal and now with the Great Fairy Sword which holds Morrigan in the castles midst it's at top priority to return…
Link: (nods) Well it was really fun while you were here. Reminded me of old times…Come back and visit sometime King! … I'll miss ya man.
The boat gives one final nod before going lifeless again. Link gives a depressed little sigh before setting sail back to the Oasis.
----------------------------------
{ Link's Oasis}
Link's recent adventure and vacation ended. But with all the injuries he suffered during his grueling battle with Morrigan the group let their Outset Island friend rest.
Everyone decided to return home and let Link get some real R&R. As the 15-year-old returned to the Oasis only one person stood their waiting for him.
Link: Tetra?
Tetra: Feeling better? (Link rubs his bandaged right cheek and nods in a very melancholy fashion) I mean in mind and body?
Link: No, I'm fine really it's just that I wonder sometimes…
Tetra: Look it's not like the goddesses are dead or anything. They are immortal beings.
Link: Yeah I know but…It's like whenever I try to help out it seem like I'm only I making things worse…sometimes I wonder if… I'm really cut out for this stuff… (gets slapped on the left cheek by Tetra)
Tetra: So you think you made little Komali's life worse when you taught him how to have courage? Or made things worse for quiet Medli? Just look at how confident she has become! Oh, I'm also guessing that if you just sat there wondering what you're worth that Ganondorf wouldn't have already ruled the world! He would've caught the person he was looking for eventually…
Link: …
Tetra: I can't believe how much of a child you can act like sometimes! You make a tiny little error and you go ballistic on yourself! Do you really think just anybody could've done what you did? (shakes head) No only destiny could determine such things. And before you say "If you're a child what does that make me?" I'll tell you: I'm a person who accepted her destiny! I may not like it, but it's something that I know I cannot run from.
Link: … (brightens) Actually I was just gonna ask how did you get here?
Tetra: Ugh…I had you and then I lost you… (to self) More like he converted back from the anguished soul that any Hero eventual becomes and to the same laid back kid that he wants to be…wants to return to… (to Link with a wink) We never sat and had a good chat for a while. I was beginning to wonder what kind of bond do we share, what am I to you exactly.
Link: (sweatdrops) Well uh good question…Well- I take orders from you…and…We are friends…great ones at least to me anyway…If you're referring to what I did back during that fight with Morrigan I was just scared that I'd never see you again is all! (turns beet red as does Tetra) It's not like was implying anything back there or something (scratches back of head nervously) HEY! How did you get here anyway?
Tetra: Aryll cloud rode me here. The ship is still back at Outset. So? You got your sea legs back? (Link nods) Then let's go.
Link: (grins) Aye-aye ma'am.
As the two friends depart. Din, Nayru and Farore all in the forms of three tiny birds that have the color scheme to their corresponding color all watch from above before flying away.
Nayru: They make a cute couple.
Din: Man that was a fun week. But I'm ready to head back to the clouds anytime.
Farore: Aww but we just started to have fun. I mean we haven't got into a scrap of trouble since we were in this guise-Why is it so dark? And what is that rutter sound?
Nayru: (says nothing just flies away quickly)
Din: What's her problem? Ill what's with that horrible breath!
Farore: (nearly gags) I don't know but it smells like fish…Rutter smells like fish…
Din: Big…
Both Goddesses in bird guise look to see the source of their trouble before quickly fleeing.
Both: SEAHAT!!!
----------------------------------------
{In the ocean}
The Great Fairy Sword sinks deep into the oceanic depths. It eventually passes a ring of light as it headed for the remains of Hyrule castle. Lightly tapping into the Master Sword which held the evil king prisoner before landing on the ground never to be touched again.
The End
---------------------------
Finally I finished! Man that was a good fun. Thank to everyone who read and especially those who reviewed, giving me the strength that it all wasn't in vein. (I don't think I have to put you guys on the spot and praise you one by one do I?) Well see ya 'round
