By Rezu-chan

Author's Notes:

Rezu: Fourth chapter is now up! .::dances around, doing cartwheels here and there in her white leotard that has an ice blue skirt around it::.

Rown: .::stares with wide eyes and a huge blush::. Uhh... R-Rezu-chan? Mind my asking? What are you doing?

Rezu: .::stops and smiles at him::. Well, I have Gymnastics on Mondays, which means I have to practice for when the day comes ... .::glares at the ceiling::. But I so, most totally hate it!!

Rown: Then why don't you just stop going there?

Rezu: .::sighs in despair::. Unfortunately, that's my mom's decision... I've asked her time and again to take me out of Gymnastics, but her answer is always 'No!'

Rown: .::puts a hand on Rezu's shoulder and smiles::. Well, at least it can't get any worse!

Rezu: I have Piano Lessons on Wednesdays...

Rown: Nevermind! .::walks off::.

Rezu: Rown-kun, you get back here!!

Chapter Four

Lightning Flash!

The Trirule Temple

And Rown Joins the Group

Link held his sword in his hand, the rag in his other hand trying to clean the Cougar Blood stains from the Steel.

'Note to self: Bring something better to get Cougar Blood off of Sword...' he thought, irritated. 'Damn it! This Blood is tough to get off!!'

"Calm down, Link... It can't get any worse, ya know?" Mezu declared, grinning.

Link looked at her with a twitching eyebrow. "How would you feel if you had to go into a dangerous battle with uneven odds and almost certain death?"

"Pretty much dead!"

Link almost fell over, but he kept his balance. They continued on, soon reached the huge building known at the Trirule Temple.

The two entered, seeing no one. Link stepped forward, five red blobs falling from the high ceiling; they were Red Chu-Chus.

He unsheathed his Steel Sword, the gleam from the stain glass light reflected on its bright and now polished structure. He ran forward, the five enemies approaching. Immediately, he pulled off a Spin Attack, sending all five into the walls like splattered jelly.

Clapping came from deep within the long, dark corridor before them. A boy soon emerged from the darkness, revealed his lightning blonde hair and ice blue eyes. A smile was on his face as he stopped beside a small, gold throne sitting next to the entrance to the corridor.

"Welcome back, Link."

"Glad to be back, Rown. Is Nayru in?" Link asked, sheathing his sword.

"I'm always here, Link..." a female voice spoke softly, almost like the Fairy Queen's.

Link looked to the throne as magical sparkles appear around it. Soon, there appeared one of the three masters of the Temple of Trirule, Nayru.

She wore a white dress that had gold linings, as well as a gold tiara with a baby blue jewel in it. Her ruby red lips curled into a smile upon laying those yellow hues on the Hero of Winds.

"What do you need? You know you can come to me for anything..."

Link bowed and nodded. "Lady Nayru, I come to you baring a warning. Ganon and Gornon have come back, and are seeking out both the Temple and I... I'd suggest you take the Golden Power of all the Triforces and flee from the Temple with Ladies Farore and Din..."

Nayru smiled at him, shaking her head.

"My Wisdom has grown since we last met, Link... I know that the two Triforce of Power holders come in search of us, but the Golden Power is gone. It's been hidden as of recently in a different realm from this one."

"Yes, but didn't that plan backfire in the past?" Link asked.

Nayru's eyes widened in surprise; did he possibly remember what happened in his last life?

"Wha-What do you mean?"

"I don't know... But something has been telling me that this plan has been carried out before... And that it didn't work. Ganon somehow got into the Sacred Realm and stole the Golden Power of all three Triforces. I can't remember how, or why, but I do know that it may not work." Link explained, looking down to his right.

Nayru's surprised look softened after hearing this. She got to her feet and walked to the Hero of Winds, bending down a little and putting her hands on his shoulders. She looked at him in the eyes.

"Link, you're right... This plan has taken place some time ago in the past, but it's the best we can do..." she spoke, smiling. "Nonetheless, I allow one last thing..."

In the left and right corners, two other women appeared in the thrones. They both wore the same white dress with gold linings as Nayru, but their tiaras were different. One has a gold tiara with a neon green jewel, and the last had a gold tiara with a ruby red jewel.

Farore, the Golden Goddess and Master of the Triforce of Courage, approached Link and held his hand in hers. There was a light red glow, and then the Golden Triforce of Courage appeared on the back of Link's right hand.

She let go of him and smiled, bowing. "You have the Courage to fight the Power, now put it to good use."

Nayru and Din smiled as well, wishing him luck as he and Mezu began to leave the Temple.

When the Fairy and the Hero were about to step out, a voice called to them.

"Link!! Mezu!!"

They stopped and turned around, seeing Rown in his yellow with black lining robes and white wand in his hand. He ran to then and spoke.

"I'd like to come with you. Not that you'll need me, or anything... I just want to help."

Link grinned at his best friend. "Well then... Welcome aboard, Rown!"

Rown grinned back and nodded his thanks. They all walked on, out of the Temple and into the Dragons' Mountains.

Nayru, Farore and Din stood at entrance/exit to the Temple, watching at the three travelers walked away from the Trirule Temple.

"They go into the Dragons' Mountains... Wisdom tells that Evil resides within..." Nayru spoke.

"They have the Courage to enter, knowing that they are at Death's Doorstep... And yet they continue on." Farore pointed out.

"Their Power put together is strong... But are they strong enough to finally be rid of Ganon and Gornon?" Din asked quietly, sighing.

The three Golden Goddesses disappeared into magical sparkles, leaving behind nothing but worry in their Temple of Trirule.

Author's Notes:

Rezu: OK! I've decided, that I'm not gonna practice for Gymnastics... Besides, the look Rown-kun always makes at me when I do a cartwheel is starting to scare me..

Rown: .::is sitting on the floor, cross-legged. With his arms folded, he looked away from Rezu with a blush plastered on his face::.

Rezu: Somebody's embarrassed... .::teases::.

Rown: Sh-Shut up!!

Rezu: Is it because I decided to put you in the story as a good guy?

Rown: Of course not! That was a good thing!

Rezu: Then what's your problem?!

Rown: I Lo-

Mezu: Hey!! Why didn't you call me?! I didn't know you were doing the Forth Chapter Author's Notes!

Rown: .::falls face-first into the wood floor thanks to Mezu opening the door he was leaning against::.
