I close my eyes, unable to watch. I hear Zelda scream, though, and I look up. To my horror, Ruto is lying on the ground, still and unmoving. I look at Link, afraid of what I am seeing. His face is set, and he is watching Lucife with a look of hatred on his face, I have never seen him so angry.

"She was innocent, Lucife. Killing her isn't giving you any advantage." Link pulls out his sword and looks at the demon, as if to challenge him. "You're a coward." Lucife howls in rage, and red fire shoots out of his hands, singeing the grass.

"Don't call me a coward," He screams, rushing at him. Link lifts the Master sword over his head and brings it down, and white light comes flashing out of it, drawing a line of blazing flame where it had been. He whirls it around and forms an orb of light, which he sends flying off into Lucife's stomach. He screams in pain and sends a blue flame back at Link, who deflects it effortlessly, a grim smile on his face.

"Give up, Lucife. You can't win." Lucife glares at him, and spins around. Before we can realize what happened, he disappears.

"Link!" Zelda runs over to her husband and throws her arms around his waist, almost crying. She manages to regain her composure and stands up, dusting herself off, but I can see the tears glistening in her eyes.

"He's not gone for good, Zel," he whispers quietly. "He's going to come back. But…" Suddenly, Aires steps forward.

"Link?" She asks, timidly. "Are- are we still…" she blushes, and Link reaches for one of her hands. Even though she has to be at least 5ft 7, he's looking down at her. "I'm sorry," she cries, breaking into tears. "I'm so, so, sorry." He looks at her and pulls her face up so she's looking in his eyes.

"Do you want me to change you back?" He asked, looking at her calmly. She returns his gaze and nods, then suddenly looks away. "You are a sage. You don't need my help," he says, gently. She blinks and nods, understanding. "But first, I want you to tell your story." She nods and stands gracefully, then turns to us.

"I am a selfish person. I wanted Link for myself, and I didn't think that anyone else should have him. I knew him the longest, grew up with him, I thought that I deserved him. So, the day of the wedding, I tried to convince everyone that I was dead. I managed to seem dead. But I went to the Gerudo princess. She convinced me to change into a human and seduce Link. I wanted my revenge, and I took her advice. She made me this." With these words, she gestures savagely at her body. I'm not quite sure what Link is going for, having her talk. I'm not even quite sure who she is.

"But then," Link coaxes, looking at her reassuringly. "Go on." She takes a deep breath and continues.

"But then, Link asked me to work for him. Said he wanted my help. So I agreed. He wanted me to find Kierana. He also wanted me to help Zelda, since she is pregnant. I wanted to kill him, but I agreed. It was then that I realized that it wasn't Zelda's fault. It was only Link. And now… I know that it was Lucife." She stops talking and closes her eyes. Suddenly a green light flashes and in her place stands the young forest Sage.

"Saria… it's okay." Link turns to the rest of us and looks around. "No one can be held responsible for their actions. Lucife tricked us all. And I want to tell you… I tried to get out. When I was being possessed… I tried in my actions to tell you that it wasn't really me. But I hope that you will forgive me for what I did anyway. I should have worked harder." I can't take it. I begin to walk forward, but change my mind. I walk over to where my daughter is sitting with Cremia and take her in my arms. I head back over to Link and take a deep breath.

"Kierana… meet your daddy."
