Din watched Gannon pull out the arrow. She closed her eyes, but it didn't block out Zelda's choking scream.
Why did I give him power? Why didn't I just help the Hero and save Nayru all the trouble?
She flew closer. Gannon couldn't see her, and Zelda had fainted from the pain and shock. Din guided Gannon's hands as he bound the wound, making him wonder at his own gentility.
Standing, the Gerudo slung the Princess unceremoniously over his good shoulder. He faced the sky and began the chant that would transport him home.
As the King and Princess from opposite sides turned to mist and were gone, Din sat on the dirty cavern floor. The volcano's magma churned below her.
My home, my element...
She rubbed her forehead, taking small joy in making the fire Keese-bats fight each other.
Now is the time to act. Redeem Nayru and give the Hero the strength he needs.
Nayru had broken her own taboo, and by law of their Triforce, had been cast into limbo. She had put too much power into the Hero, as well. She would be in the realm of death until her cause was won.
If her cause was won.
