There were two lit marble torches and a small fountain, with clear, sparkling water. There were stars sprinkling down at the sides, and a Triforce sign on one of the steps.
Link gazed in awe. "Wow..."
Navi flew towards the fountain. "Hello? Great Fairy, this is Navi. I request your help."
There was some childish laughter, and Navi slowly floated towards Link.
"Play the song of Royal Family," the voice said softly, like the wind. The words echoed gently. "...the Royal Family.."
"Play," Navi ordered. "Step on the Triforce sign and play."
Link hopped eagerly onto the sign, took out his ocarina, and played gently, softly.
The melody tinkled through the fountain, and the water started to send out more rough ripples.
Link removed the ocarina from his mouth and waited.
The laughter again...except much louder. Suddenly, a lady popped out of the fountain, with long red flaming hair in ponytails and with glittering eyes. She glared at Link.
"You're so dirty! You're covering my beautiful, clean marble with ash...and soot!"
She laid a fingernail on Link's shoulder for a second, and then brought it back up.
The ash started floating away in the wind, but it disappeared before it got any farther than the exit.
The fairy relaxed. "Ah, that's better. Now, I am Clara, the Great Fairy of Magic. Who has requested my assistance?"
Navi floated up to her. "I, Madam Clara."
Clara chuckled softly. "No, call me Clara. You wish to speak in private, correct?"
She had read Navi's mind. Navi nodded.
"You, boy....your name is Link, is it not? Please do me a favour and wait outside. I shall give you your magic spell later on."
"How about my rupees?" Link asked.
Clara looked confused.
Before she could say a word, Navi butted in. "Yeah, she'll give you them with the magic spell. Bye!"
Link looked even more confused, but left.
After Link was fully out of sight, Clara stared at Navi sternly.
"You lied to your partner, did you not? About the rupees. You stole them."
Navi felt very uncomfortable. "But it was urgent! I needed to see you."
The Great Fairy closed her eyes and sighed. "You wish to know whether you were correctly paired with him, do you not?"
Navi nodded. This was the moment she was waiting for...the answer...
"I cannot tell you." Clara said finally, opening her eyes. "The answer does not lie within you or I."
"But-but..." Navi stuttered.
"The Great Deku Tree assigned you to the boy, did he not? He is a wise fellow...a little bit...crazy sometimes, might I add, but he is wise in his ways many think are insane."
"That still doesn't tell me the answer, Grea-I mean, Clara." Navi said, sighing.
Clara lowered her gaze to Navi. "Let me put it in this way, Navi."
She leaned closer. "If you had a choice to leave him, would you leave him?"
Soon she was so close Navi could've touched her face. "Would you be willing to go with another Kokiri? One who is not a Child of Destiny, one who lives a normal Kokiri life? You can, and some part of you has always known that."
Navi couldn't speak. The words wouldn't come out. Say no, dummy! Of course you want to!
Finally, she choked out some words. "I...I..."
Muahahahahahaha! Another nasty cliffhanger! :-)
