I wake up with my head resting on Sheiks lap, the sun was out of view from where we were at.
"How long have I been out?" I asked
"A few hours, feeling better?"
"Uh-huh," I said sitting up, Saria walks up,
"You're awake! I Mido to help get you back." Saria said as another Kokiri walks up with orange hair.
"Are you okay? Saria told me there was trouble." He said holding a wooden sword, I couldn't help but giggle.
"Do we're fine thank you," I said as both Sheik and I stand up,
"I'm Mido." he said
"Hello Mido, I'm Pura and this is Sheik," I said
"So are the monsters gone?" Sheik asked Saria,
"Every last one of them! You're amazing Pura!" Saria said
"Y...you did all that?" Mido looked at me amazed and we all start heading back to Kokiri village.
"Yeah, but it's only temporary," I said
"What will we do if they come back?" Saria asked
"We'll come back and purify it again and we'll keep doing that until I find a more permanent solution. I said
"We will?" Sheik said
"Why not? It's not like we're doing anything other than training, besides this gives me something to strive for." I said, we get back to Kokiri village and everything looks bright and happy just like Link described.
"Wait right there!" Saria said running over to her house,
"This was fun," I smiled
"You're weird..." Sheik said and I push him,
"Jerk!" I said and Saria runs back to us,
"Here," she hands me a wooden flute, "we can use this to talk to each other,"
"Thanks Saria," I said
"We better get going everyone's probably really worried about us." Sheik said
"Then this is good -bye for now." Mido said
"Get back home safely," Saria said and we wave them off and leave the forest and walk through the field.
"Do you even know how to play the flute?"Sheik teased
"I'll learn!" I said as I feel my chest hurt again,
"Pura?" Just as he's about to grab my shoulder a Black horse cuts us off and fear strikes when I recognize who was riding it... Ganondorf!
"It's a bit late for children to be out playing." he said looking down at us
"W...we were just heading home..." I said holding onto Sheik
"No need to be frightened child, by chance have you seen a girl your age with blond hair?" he asked, he's still searching for Zelda after months?
"I remember seeing a girl with blond hair at Lake Hylia..." Sheik said
"My thanks, not run home you two, the darkness is no place for children." he laughs and then rides off towards Lake Hylia, once he is out of sight we both exhale.
"That was too close..." Sheik said
"I was so scared," I said as tears filed up my eyes and Sheik wipes them away,
"He won't get you... I promise." Sheik said talking my hand and we walk back to Kakariko village where everyone was in an uproar.
"They're back!" Lupin spots us and Impa bursts through the crowd over to us.
"Where were you!?" she yelled looking very worried,
"We were in Kokiri forest." I said
"But it's infested with monsters, you could of gotten hurt!" Impa said
"But Impa, Pura's magic is amazing!" Sheik said
"What do you mean?"
"She cleansed the entire forest." he said and Impa looks at me shocked
"Is this true?" she asked me and I nod.
"To think your magic is already so connected to the elements..." she said with a sigh, "It was still very reckless, please take an escort next time you want to go somewhere."
"That's not all..." Sheik said his voice sounding concerned,
"We were confronted by... Ganondorf..." I said and Impa's face goes white.
"He was still looking for Zelda," Sheik said
"It's good that he did not recognize you two... but now you are on his radar and we must be even more careful now." she said. and we head to bed ready for the challenges ahead,
Two years and both Sheik and I have become honorary Sheikah, we both got our Sheikah earrings and now we're learning more about Ganondorf's plans. The past few days I have felt a little lost, I knew why I was fighting... but when did this really become my fight? And Zelda never explained the whole daughter of the Goddesses thing... how am I a daughter of Goddesses? I decided to try something, but I need to discuss it with Impa and Sheik first,
"You want to do what?" Impa asked
"Talk to the Goddesses, it has to be possible! if I really am their daughter then it shouldn't be hard for me to get into contact with them." I said and both Impa and Sheik begin to ponder,
"The fairy fountain!" Sheik said, "Great fairy's have magic that was given to them by that goddesses themselves, if there's a way one of the great fairy's would know how." Sheik said
"can we try?" I look at Impa for permission
"The closest Fairy Fountain is up Death Mountain..." Impa said
"So Daruina will be able to help us find it." I said
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Impa asked
"Yes... recently I've felt lost and unmotivated, and I have so many questions..." I said
"Alright, you'll head out with Sheik tomorrow morning, I'll send Daruina a letter letting him know you two are on your way." Impa said
"Thank you Impa," I said
"I just hope you know what you're doing," she said
"C'mon Pura, let's get to bed." Sheik said and we head back to our room,
"You're usually against me doing anything outside of the Village," I said
"But this doesn't seem too dangerous, besides if we're on Death Mountain Daruina will be with us, and that makes me feel a little more comfortable about it." he said
"It'll be good to see him again it's been a while," I said
"He didn't take Link being gone very well..." Sheik said as we're remembering back when we went to help the Gorons with a monster problem.
"I think he never will, not until he's come back." I said as we get ready for bed.
"Nothing we can do about that, get some rest we'll set out in the morning." Sheik said and we go to sleep. but my mind just stirs on question to ask the goddesses.
we wake up and prepare for our journey to Death Mountain, we set out with a group of ten people including me and Sheik.
"I still don't think we needed this many people..." I said
"I'm not going to take any chances... we can't risk what happened last time." Sheik said
"That was two years ago.." I said "We're stronger now."
"Stronger, yes... strong enough to fight Ganondorf? not a chance," he said
"You're such a downer." I said
"I'm not a downer, I just know my limits." he said and we make it to the entrance to the Goron village where Daruina was waiting for us.
"Sister!" he said as he runs up and hugs me lifting me off the ground, "I have missed you,"
"I've missed you too Daruina, but you don't have to hug me so tightly every time I visit..." I said as he lets me go, "Last time you almost snapped me in half."
"I'm sorry sister, I just get so excited when I see you. Not to mention how tall you've grown since last we spoke." he said
"Have I really grown taller?" I asked looking at sheik, he was already taller than me,
"Yes you have," Daruina smiles,
"Oh! how's the baby! he should of been born by now!" I said
"Not yet but soon," he said
"Have you thought of a name?" Sheik asked
"He shall be called Link, after the great hero who saved the Gorons." Daruina said and Sheik and I look at each other in shock.
"That's great Daruina," I said
"Now enough about me, you're wanting to visit the great fairy?" he asked
"Yes.. I have some questions." I said
"We must climb to the top of the mountain to see her. It will not be easy," he said
"I'm not backing down." I said
"Alright," he said and we make our way to the top of death mountain. we have trouble half way through because the active volcano kept shooting out lava showers and it took us a lot longer than expected. We finally make it to the fairy fountain... the walls were covered with water but the water was traveling up then lightly dropping back down to the floor and stone pillars around the fountain. of the opposite side of the room in the actual fountain, it was a simple marble fountain with two torches right next to an alter. on the ground the symbol of the royal family, the actual fountain was not filled with much with water.
"that's the sigh of the royal family." Sheik said and I take out my flute and start playing Zelda's lullaby and we hear laughter as a woman appears from out of the spring. she floated in front of us with bright pink hair and she was covered in leafs.
"I am the great fairy of power," she said "I know why you are here," she said
"You do?" I asked
"You wish to meet with the Goddesses, and they have been waiting for you Pura." she said
"How can I talk to them?" I asked as the fairy of power snaps her fingers and suddenly my clothes change from my traditional Sheikah gear to an elegant white dress, something you would think was fit for a goddess to wear, the dress flowed to the floor,
"You couldn't talk to them looking like that," says the woman with barely any clothes on... "Now," she said floating down, "Come with me," she holds out her hand and helps me into the fountain. The water was warm, it almost tingled to the touch. I look back at Sheik,
"You still okay to do this?" he asked me,
"Yes... I'm ready." I said to the Fairy of power,
"Lie down," she said as I sit in the fountain and then rest my head town the water just barely reaching my ears, now my entire body felt light, Like it was floating. "Now all you need to do is close your eyes, and relax." I close my eyes and almost instantly I feel like I've drifted into a dream, it felt like I was floating on clouds. I open my eyes and realize I'm actually lying in clouds. I stand up and see no end to the clouds is sight.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I call out,
"You're so beautiful!" I hear behind me and turn around to see a beautiful woman with long green hair braided back. she wore a light green dress that looked similar to mine but the sleeves were see-through. "She has your eyes Nayru," she said as another woman appears out of nowhere but she had long elegant wavy hair and her blue dress flowed like water.
"But she's go your frail body structure." she said as a third Woman appears her fiery red hays tied back in a high pony tail, she wore red clothes matches the Gerudo style.
"Am I really that frail?" the woman with green hair asked
"Yes," the one with red hair sternly said and the one with blue hair giggles
"Um..." I felt weird interrupting them, "Are you the goddesses? I asked and they all turn to me and smile.
"Yes, I am Nayru the goddess of wisdom." the one with blue hair said
"I'm Din the goddess of power." the one with red hair said
"An my name is Farore the goddess of courage." the one with green hair said
"It is very nice to meet you Pura." Nayru said
"We're your mothers." Din said
"But how is that possible? I'm just human." I asked
"That is a very good question, you are correct in thinking that we do not have physical bodies, we haven't walked the earth on a very long time. We are the creators of your soul." Nayru explained
"I don't understand..." I said
"Much like how we created the Triforce, the three of us combined our powers and your soul was the end result." Farore said
"But... why create me?" I asked
"We have watched over Hyrule for a long time, history has... begun to repeat itself." Din said
"We created you to help break the cycle." Nayru said
"But that Ganondorf... I'm not sure how but he found you." Din said sounding annoyed
"I'm still confused, how am I supposed to break this cycle? I don't even know what cycle I'm breaking..." I asked
"The repeated cycle over possession of the Triforce." Farore said
"I can't do that! I'm only twelve! I'm still learning magic and I can barely protect myself." I said as Nayru places her hands on my shoulders,
"I'm sorry sweetie, the truth is you weren't meant to stop the Triforce... yet." Nayru said "For now keep on your path of helping the hero of time."
"But how will I know when I'm ready?" I asked
"You'll know," Farore said walking closer and kissing me on the forehead.
"I'm glad we go to see you," Din said hugging me and then like a jolt I wake up. I quickly sit up shocked that I was awake,
"Pura!" Sheik ran into the spring and knelt next to me, "Are you alright?" Sheik said
"I'm alright..." I look up at the great fairy who looked concerned as well,
"I lost the connection, I'm sorry." she said as she disappears, I look back at Sheik who was looking at me strangely.
"What's wrong?" I asked looking down and I could see hair, my hair longer than my back floating in the water, "M...my hair!" I said grabbing it not believing it was my own but one tug and I knew it was mine. "What the heck! how?" I asked
"The fairy fountain has magical properties, your connection with the goddesses could of made you more like them." The fairy of power said.
"We got trouble!" Daruina runs into the room,
"What's happening?" I asked and Sheik helps me to my feet, but Daruina just stares at me, "Daruina!" I snap him out of is
"It's Ganondorf, I don't know what you did but his goons are on their way here." he said
"What?" Sheik said as he helps me out of the fountain and the second I am fully out of the fountain my clothes change back to my regular Sheikah attire,
"Well that's convenient," I said and the Fairy of power reappears,
"I shall use my magic to send you back to the Goron caves, you will be able to hide from Ganondorf's men there." she said
"Thank you great fairy," I said and she smiles, and in a flash we're in the Goron caves.
"Wow..." one of our escorts said
"Never underestimate a great fairy's power." Daruina said
"So did you get the answers you were looking for?" Sheik asked
"Sort of... it is true, I am the daughter of the goddesses, but they were a bit dodgy about my purpose here." I said
"So what are you going to do now?" he asked
"First I want a haircut, having this much hair is not practical." I said and Sheik laughs,
"And after that?"
"Nothing's changed, I will continue getting stronger so I can help Link when he returns in five years." I said
"Good, now let's get back," sheik said
"It was good to see you Daruina," I said
"You as well sister, you two stay safe." he said and we leave the Goron village. we get back to Kakariko village and I explain what happened in more detail to Sheik and Impa. Impa cuts my hair that night back to shoulder length and she braids it in the back, my clothes are in the traditional Sheikah style I wear a white crows neck short sleeve shirt that completely covered the mark of the Triforce and blue baggy long shorts with the Sheikah tribe symbol on the bottom of the left leg, with brown boots, a belt with a pouch big enough to carry my small flute. my wrists were wrapped and then small blue gauntlets. my weapons were the elements around me and a small dagger just in case my magic is canceled out. Now Impa has given Sheik and I permission to fight, and I'm more than ready.
