Secondary Sages ch.3
The Highly Decorated Earth Temple
No tricks, no puzzles, no sprawling maze of a dungeon. The Earth Temple was one large, circular room with a single raised platform in its center. On the platform was the medallion. The walls gave the only other clue that the place was a temple. They depicted the forest with many different figures strewn about. This was no ordinary painting, though, as the figures moved and the forest changed constantly. Mido turned to everyone.
"The walls show the condition of the forest. It records the history of everything that has happened here, even if it was from a different time-line. Notice," Mido ran over to one section of the wall, "This shows the adventures of you Link, even the time when the forest was corrupted by the man from the desert."
A small picture of Link ran across the wall dodging Deku Scrubs and Wolfoses while in the background a silhouette of a large man stood laughing.
"How do you know all this?" Kindra asked.
Mido turned to her, "I say only what the spirits tell me."
"Hmm…" Link said thoughtfully, "Does it show only the forest?"
"No. It shows all the lands of this kingdom. But showing them all at once would make it crowded."
The walls suddenly turned from the green of the forest to the reds and yellows of the desert. Sand blew through the entire expanse of the painting.
"You're here too." The Sage of Earth commented.
Another small picture of Link wandered around the picture, sometimes getting lost, sometimes finding his destination.
"Oh, I remember those deserts well…" Link muttered through clenched teeth.
Saria grabbed Mido's wrist. "Let's go to the Chamber of Sages." She tugged him to the platform, "I think we'll be teleported there if you pick up your medallion."
They all gathered around the Kokiri boy as he hesitantly picked up the rather large brown and green medallion. A pillar of light formed around them and they disappeared.

"So this is the new Sage…."
"Heeheehee! He's kinda cute!"
Mido opened his eyes to the sight of Ruto's face staring straight at him. He screamed.
"AAARRGG! A GIANT FISH!"
Ruto frowned, "Cute… but no manners…."
"A GIANT FISH IS TALKING TO ME!'
Mido backed away and almost fell off the platform. Ruto bonked him on the head.
"I'm no fish! I'm a Zora!"
Saria tugged on Mido's sleeve, "It's okay! This is Ruto, the Water Sage… and that is Darunia, the Fire Sage…" She pointed to the Goron. "He's no monster either."
Nabooru chuckled. "It's no surprise he's scared. You've never been out of the forest, right?"
Mido had to crane his neck to look at the Sage of Spirit.
"Uh huh. Yeah… What are you?"
He examined her copper skin, red hair and round ears.
"I've never seen anythin' like you before either."
"I'm a Gerudo." She smiled. "My people live in the desert."
The Kokiri boy grinned, "The desert? I know that place!"
He looked around at the rest of the Sages.
"There are… so many of you…."
"Yes, yes. There will be a time for introductions later." Ruto turned to Link. "One is good, but we need all of them to suppress the evil."
"I know, I know… I'm getting to it! Come on Kindra…."
Link disappeared with Kindra close behind.
