"Well, the princess of course! Who else?" Ruto replied with enthusiasm. "I may not know all about the royal family but I do know that the blood of the royal family flows through your veins. Which gives you rights beyond imagination."

"Rights? What are you talking about?" Zelda asked.

"Listen Princess. There are places I can't go because I am not in the royal family. Just the melody of the royal family alone does not grant me pass to the many secret places you can go to just by your blood."

"But what are you talking about? Ganondorf is the leader of all Hyrule. My blood has no significance now!"

"Maybe not, but that mark on your forehand does. Besides…Ganondorf is not the supreme ruler…the three goddesses are…they control our fate…and the goddess of wisdom resides on your hand. Use it!"

Zelda was taken aback by Ruto's answer. Her perspective had changed just a little bit on the situation. And in her mind, her duty was clear: As Princess of Hyrule I shall seek the Legendary Hero and prepare myself for the battle ahead…

As time passed by, Zelda learned more and more from the book of the Royal Family, which was given to her by the Zoras. In just a few months she finished the book and learned how to use her magic. She also learned how to utilize her wisdom. The Goddess of wisdom resides on her hand still, and waits to be used fully.

Until the months of weakening, the Zoras held strong and fought against the powers of darkness for as long as they could. The war outside was still going and the rebel forces still fought, but the Gerudo soldiers kept winning and little by little were getting the upper hand on the war. It would only be a matter of time before they finally took over…

After three months, Zora's domain was weakened.

"Ugh…this is getting tough to do. Ruto, are you sure you are reading the instructions right?" Zelda breathed deeply and put her hand on her heart. She felt as though it would jump out from her chest at any moment.

"Of course I am! It says right here, 'firmly grasp the stone engraved to the ground and shout the royal melody to the goddess of power. Step two: focus your energy on the stone while doing so. Step three: hold on tight.' I know how to read transcripts and ancient writings just like anyone else can!" Ruto said, confident in her translation.

"Ruto, I'm trying my best and it still isn't working."

"Well, try harder then."

"I've been trying harder for the past half hour! My body is about to fry from all the magic I've put into it! It shouldn't take this much effort!" Zelda said angrily. She had just about enough.

"Ok! Ok! I get it. Chill…" Ruto said, trying to calm her down.

"Chill? Don't even say that word…have you felt it get colder?"

"I have. But it is not winter frost. It smells like Ganondorf."

"Well three months have passed already haven't they? The barrier is weakening considerably…I don't think it will last much longer." Zelda frowned.

"Well…there is a way we can prevent this." Ruto said.

"Well why didn't you say so before?" Zelda said, mad that her friend didn't tell her sooner.

"It is not an easy task, Zelda. I talked to my father about it last night. I've been thinking about it for a week now."

"So what is it?"

"Well, you see, our barrier needs a certain amount of power and magic to stay up. There is a potion at kakariko village that I have heard heals your wounds and another that restores your magic power. The barrier needs a considerable amount of more power, no doubt there, but…what if Grandfather could fix us up something? He is capable of brewing up a potion to enforce our barrier. I just know it!"

Zelda took in what she was saying and thought for a moment. "You mean the doctor at Lake Hylia right? Do you think we'll have enough money to buy the potions?"

Suddenly, a noise was heard in the distance.

"Zelda quick now! Back into Zora's Domain before we are caught! My father would kill me if he found out I put you in even the slightest bit of danger."

"There's no problem, not as long as I have my disguise on!" Zelda proclaimed cheerfully.
