Chapter 4- Spirit Sage's Medallion

Nabooru lead the boys, Navi, and Beylinda to the Spirit Temple, which was at the end of the now more dangerous Haunted Wasteland. The constant sandstorm that was blowing was stronger than Link remembered, and all the flags had been blown away. Even the desert merchant had to relocate because of the storm.

Once they reached the Spirit temple Nabooru stopped suddenly. She turned to the kids, with a worried look on her face. Link and Afios grew worried, while Beylinda rolled her eyes. Nabooru suddenly started laughing evily, causing the boys to get scared. Almost as suddenly as she started laughing, Nabooru stopped, looking at both boys seriously.

"You have fallen into my trap." She said, "As men, you will now be changed into women by the power of the Desert Goddess!"

"Wh-what?" Both boys said, shock and fear written all over there faces. Suddenly Nabooru started laughing again, this time, she wasn't laughing evily. She was laughing as if she had just seen the funniest thing in the world. Link and Afios sweat dropped, while Beylinda rolled her eyes again. Navi was just kinda floating there.

"You, you should have seen you faces." Nabooru said, her arms clenching her sides. She was doubled over from laughing so much.

"I swear, you're embarrasing, mother." Beylinda said, rolling her eyes a third time. Link and Afios did not look happy. Navi was obviously supressing laughter.

"Let's just get the medallion so we can leave." Afios said, walking past Nabooru, who was just now ending her fit of laughter, with Link and Navi in tow. Beylinda followed them, and Nabooru gathered what little strength she had after her laughing fit, and followed.

Once inside the Spirit Temple Nabooru led the way to the room which held the portal to the Chamber of Sages(1). Once inside they climed up the stone walls, and onto the large platform. Once up they portal could be seen. It was a swirling pillar of blue light. The group walked up to the light, and were lifted into the ceiling, which then warped into the Chamber where the Sages gather.

Nabooru appeared on the Spirit stand with Beylinda, while Link, Afios, and Navi were on the Triforce shaped stand. Nabooru faced Link and held her hands up. When she did an prange ball of light appeared inbetween her two palms. The light turned into the Spirit Medallion and floated over to Link. Once he got it, it dessolved into his body.

"Now you have your first Medallion, Link." Navi said, as they returned to the Spirit temple. When they walked out they saw the sun had already set, and it was dark.

"I'll have to use my powers to take us back." Nabooru said, "Dangerous creatures walk the haunted wasteland after nightfall."

Nabooru lifted her arms, and an orange light surrounded the group. Once they light cleared they were back at the Gerudo Fortress. Nabooru fell to her knees. Link, Afios, and Beylinda ran to help her. They helped her up, when other Gerudo came, and took her.

"Mother ..." Beylinda said, softly. The Gerudo helping Nabooru stopped when she looked over her sholder. Nabooru got out of the other Gerudo's grasps, and waled over to her daughter. "Mother, I wish to go with Link and the Sheikah on their journey."

"The Sheikah has a name." Afios said.

"Very well, you have my permission." Nabooru said, "Just be carefull. And I expect grandkids when you come back."

"Mother!" Beylinda shouted, blushing furiously.

"Go, go. I don't want to keep you from your journey." Nabooru said, waving goodbye. Next thing anyone knew, Nabooru hugged Beylinda. "I'll miss you. Promis me you'll look out for her, Link."

"Yeah, I'll do my best." Link said, nodding.

"Thank you, kid." Nabooru said, "Good bye, Beylinda."

"Bye mother. I'll see you when I get back." Beylinda said, and tuned to walk away with Link, Navi, and Afios. "Tell Rei I'll see him later."

-One Hour Later-

"You think you said bye to everyone?" Afios asked, sarcastically.

"Quiet, Sheikah." Beylinda said, not looking at him.

"I have a name." Afios said

"Whatever." the Gerudo said, crossing her arms, "I an in charge here, and I will address you men as I see fit."

"Who put you in charge?" Link and Afios asked, at the same time.

"You men are obviously not fit to be incharge. Men are not fit to lead."

"Well, you certainly not Gerudo." Afios said

"What about the king of Hyrule?" Link asked, "And your brother?"

"Most men are useless, with the exception of three." Beylinda said, "My brother, you, Link, and the king."

Afios rolled his eyes, and headed off towards the Lake. He took about five steps when a hand forced him to turn around. He was met with the angry face of Beylinda. She glared at him as if he was insane.

"Where do you think you're going?" She hissed. "We are going to the forest!"

"But the lake is closer!" Afios said, "And we can get to Zora's domain forn there! Then we can go to the forest!"

"Who put you incharge?" Beylinda shouted

"Zelda! Thats who!" Afios said, confidently. He smirked as Beylinda released her grib, and headed to the lake. He looked to Link, who was standing there, with a worried look in his face. "You coming?" Link nodded, and walked by Afios' side.

As they walked, Link looked up to see Afios messing with the Bracelet that bound them together. Link watched as he tried pulling it off, then tried a releasing spell, then tried to cut it with his sword. After all that he sighed, and put his sword away, and hung his head in defeat. He knew nothing he could muster could match the power of a sage. Especially one with the magical know how of his mother.

"Why do you mess with that bracelet?" Beylinda asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"This is what binds me to him." Afios said, and pointed to the young hero. "And it won't come off."

"Thats to be expected." Beylinda said, "Binding spells of this type can't be undone until the people under it become good freinds."

Again, Afios sighed. He knew deep down that his mother had a reason for doing this to them, but he wanted to know why. He decided that after the Water Medallion they would go after the Shadow Medallion so they could get these bracelets removed by the very person who made them.

"After we get the Water Medallion we're going to get the Shadow Medallion." Afios said, "And hopefully get these bracelets off."

Beylinda tensed noticably. She hated taking orders from men, with the exception of her brother. And then only when he was sick. She only listen to Afios because he was made leader by Zelda. If it were up to her, she or Link would be in charge. But after hearing Link's story, she knew he wouldn't be a good choice for leader right now. And her knowledge of things outside the desert was limited. Afios was the best choice out of the group, but what he said after her thoughts is what made her think differently about him.

"Then, Link decides where we go." He said, Beylinda smirked. 'He has the right instincts. He may turn out decent after all.'
