Chapter Five

It's been a week since my nightmare came true. Mayiou has been helping me be able to move without pain and grasps the knowledge that what happened to me happened to a lot of them. She says that today the leader is going to come see me to give me my first task where I get to have all my weapons back. I wonder what she wants me to do. I hope it doesn't require more than I can give. Mayiou told me about this temple that has gloves and treasures lined in it. I just can't figure out what the gloves are. I wonder if they are like the gloves I have. They help me lift heavier objects than I used to be able to lift. I smile as I remember trying to lift a stone on my own and not being able to do it. Then, I met the Gorons who gave me special gloves to lift bomb plants, and they made it easier to lift basically most of the blocks.

I sit up in the bed as I hear soft footsteps against the stone. I half expected it to be Mayiou or a guard coming to retrieve me so that Nabooru can tell me what my next journey is; however, I didn't expect the leader herself to show up. I instantly stand up as she walks over to me. "It's okay. You can sit," she says sitting down on the bed as I sit next to her. "I'm sure Mayiou told you that I would be seeing you soon." I nod as she crosses her legs and slide her fingers through her hair. "There is a temple across the desert. Inside that temple are silver gloves. Those gloves would help our tribe. The only problem is that to get to the area where they are you have to pass through a small crawl hole. That hole is too small for any of us to crawl through. If you successfully bring me the gloves, than I'll make you one of us, and you will be able to go wherever you want," she says as my eyes light up.

"Really?" I ask as she nods. I would be able to get back to Jabu Jabu to see if Princess Ruto is still there which is something that I doubt. It's almost been two weeks. It doesn't hurt to try. "I'll do it," I finally respond knowing that I've been through plenty of temples. "I would need all my weapons. Is there anyway?"

"Of course. You can take anything that you want even things that we have." Her face turns sad as she looks at me. "I'm sorry for what happened to you. This is the only way I can figure to help you. If you are out of this place, then he can't get to you." If only she knew that my original journey was helping Princess Zelda retrieve the three spiritual stones to help her against Ganondorf.

"All I'll need is the items that I came with," I respond not wanting to take anything that they were going to offer. I still have some healing remedies in the bottles. Hopefully they didn't use the bottles or empty them.

"Get ready. Your items are in the next room. Be outside by in five minutes and I'll lead you to the temple." Nabooru gets up and leaves as I walk over to the next room. This would be hard to do without Navi. Speaking of which, she should be returning soon. Just as I thought that Navi comes flying through the window.

"I need your help. I'm going to go through a temple to retrieve silver gloves. I need you to be by my side. Nabooru says that if I bring the gloves back to her than I would be allowed to leave here," I say walking into the next room gathering up my weapons.

"The king of Hyrule talked to Nabooru and she said that you weren't here. Are you sure that she is going to let you go just like that."

"I believe so. She probably said that because she didn't want to let me go until I went through the temple. We are going now."

"But, Link," she says as I hold out my hands to pull her in gently.

"Just trust me. I believe her word. Please come with me and help me."

"Of course. I promised the Great Deku Tree that I would stay with you and help you. I don't plan on leaving you now." I smile as I set her on my shoulder where she usually sits. Walking outside, I notice that Nabooru is waiting for me. She turns as soon as she sees me towards the gate that used to be down which is now up.

"First we have to cross this giant river of quick sand," she tells me as we start to walk further into the desert. I cover my eyes slightly to block the blowing sand from going in my eyes. I continued walking until I felt Nabooru hold me still. "This is the river," she says as I look forward to see this area of moving sand. On one side is a box the same that is on this side.

"How do we get across?" I ask curious on how they get to the temple with this giant quick sand trap. She tosses a rope tied to a hook across the area. "Oh," I say as she hands me the robe.

"Just swing across. If you get a high start you can swing fully across to the other block." I look up at her as she wonders if I'm going to make it. You don't live for so long in the forest and not know how to swing. I smile as I grip the robe securely and swing across. Tying one of the deku nuts to the end of the robe, I throw it back to her. She swings across the same as I. "Nice moves. I think you will be able to make it through this temple to get to the silver gloves." I smile as we continue through the desert.

We follow these flags through the heavy sand until we reach this stone platform in the middle of a circle of flags. "I have to summon the ghost of the desert, and he will lead us to the oasis where the temple lies," Nabooru tells me as she stands there with her hands together mumbling something in a language I don't understand. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this ghost appears. It's the same as those other spirits that I either fought or ran away from. She jumps off the side and takes off running after the face moving spirit. I jump off as well and take off with her trying to keep up with her fast pace. This is when I think that I should be taller. Moving faster, I manage to catch up with her before I got lost in the desert.

We enter into the oasis. It's a beautiful place with trees and water and a large temple in the back. I walk beside her as we avoid creatures trying to attack us. A small stairway leads to the interior of the temple. Two pots come flying towards us as I push her out of the way and block the pots with my shield. "I do think you would be fine in this temple," she comments as I smile and walk up the stairs behind her. We turn left as I see this small crawl hole in the wall.

"This is as far as we always get," she says pointing to the hole in the wall. "I don't know what is beyond this hole so be careful. I will keep my part of the deal if you keep yours. I'll be waiting here for you to come back. Once you have the gloves, come back through here, and I'll help you get back to our hideout. There you will be allowed to leave."

"Thank you," I say as I crawl though the hole. I can handle anything in a temple. I just hope my body doesn't give up. I step out of the hole and draw my sword. Here we go.

It was a different way to get to the Spirit Temple, but he had to get there somehow. Thank you for reading please review
