A/N- Thanks for the reviews, UnbowedUnbroken and spiritofwater! I'm glad that you guys are glad that I'm continuing! And... spiritofwater! What is wrong!? Tell me now!

Disclaimer- I still don't own it.

"I... I think that's it..." Alayana whispered, looking down. "It... it was really weird... um..." Chelsya gave her a quick hug, still looking worried. Link sighed, stretching.

"Does this mean that we have to go around and find all the new sages? 'Cuz if it does, then this means that I have to go on another journey with you people. And I just wanted to go home and sleep... man. Why did I have to get chosen by the goddesses to be this Hero?" Chelsya and Alayana stared at him for a moment, both unsure how to respond to that.

Alayana stood up, her eyes slightly sad. "I think that I know where one of the sages are. I can just kinda feel... this weird thing. I think that someone that is going to be the sage of the forest is near here... c'mon." She gathered her few things while Link spoke quietly with Chelsya.

"Alright, there is something wrong with this picture. I don't know why, but I feel like we're being lead into a sort of trap." Link said, intensity from his eyes pouring into Chelsya. She flipped her shoulder length hair in his face.

"Link, I've known Alayana since she was six. I met her right after I... I ran away from the place that I worked. The place where the person that I love lived? Well, yeah. Link, I know that Alayana would never ever do anything to hurt either of us." With that said, Chelsya walked away to help Alayana put some things on Shiroi, her horse.

Link sighed at her. She didn't quite understand half of the time. Actually, now that Link thought about it, she never seemed to understand. As he began packing everything away, Link's thoughts turned to his cousins.

Sheik mostly, though. When Link had last spoken to him, Sheik's main worry was about him being crown prince. Since Sheik had turned eighteen a little while ago, this meant that he would take the throne soon. Sheik was very unsure whether he would be able to be a good king.

Zelda, however, seemed most eager to have her elder and less mature brother take the throne. She was entirely convinced that he would be the best king in the whole entire world. Zelda had, in fact, announced this fact to the entire throne room during midday when they set the date for Sheik to become king.

Link jumped on Epona, his thoughts turning, yet again, to the young girl who sat behind Chelsya on Shiroi. Had she really seen his mother? It hurt him to think that she would see Alayana, but she wouldn't see him. No matter how important the message was, he would have preferred that Princess Zelda had told him instead of that eleven year old.

Link glanced around, feeling as though he knew this place. Everything about the area seemed familiar, and yet Link could not place it. Finally, they reached a clearing. Link gasped as he realized where they were.

Link frowned as he turned to Sheik. "Alright, what freaked you out so badly that you're shaking?" Sheik stopped shaking.

"It's nothing. Let's just find a way out of here." Neither of them spoke for quite a time. However, at one point, Link did speak.

"A cave." And there was. In front of it there was a sign. It read: Inside this temple lies Farore, alone and captured by the will of the great Lord Ganondorf.

"Nice of them to tell us that. None can defeat us, the... oh, right. We don't have a team name. Darn it. Hey, Link, you know what darning is..." By this point Link wasn't listening. I mean, who would?

Link was staring into the long tunnel of the temple. He could see cobwebs and vines everywhere. "I'm scared of spiders." He finally said. Sheik abruptly stopped chattering.

"What?"

This was the entrance to the Forest Temple! Of course! It was also near the place where Link had first met Chelsya, who had come to him as the Blood Knight. She seemed to recognize it as well, and turned slightly red.

However, the entrance was different now. It had a stone door, which was covered in moss and vines. Alayana pointed to the entrance. "The feeling is coming from in there. We have to go in." She said it so flatly that Link almost laughed. She was trying to sound serious and was failing very badly.

Link walked up to the door and looked at the symbols on the door. Once again, they were the kind that Link could not read. Chelsya obviously could not read it either, since she didn't try at all. However, when Alayana tried to read it, she whispered the words under her breath.

"The Triforce is a force of the world. The goddesses are a force of the sky. The sages are a force of the magic. Each has their own way, but each are more powerful than the last. When you seek the way, find it in yourself." When she stopped reading, Alayana noticed that Link and Chelsya were staring at her. "What? It's in plain Hylian, isn't it?"

Link was about to answer, when someone else did for him. "Nope. Not quite, anyways. It's actually ancient Hylian. From, like, a thousand years ago. I'm surprised that you can read it." The threesome turned around to see Aurus standing there, holding in one arm a bunch of flowers.

"Aurus! I can't believe that we found you!" Link cried and jogged up to the girl. She looked older, but that was natural since Link hadn't seen her for nearly six months. Her hair was now nearly to her knees and she was much much prettier. She hazel eyes and turned green, but they still had some gold in them.

"Hiya, Link. I take it that Sheik isn't here with you?" She sighed as she looked at their small group. "Well, you might as well introduce me to your friends." Aurus pointed to Alayana and Chelsya.

"This is Chelsya." Link pointed to the her. "She has attitude issues, just so ya know. That's Alayana, she's Chelsya's little sister or something along those lines." Chelsya hit Link on the head for saying those stupid things.

"Really? Your name is Alayana? For some reason, when I first saw you, I thought Zelda. Weird, huh? Come on in, you guys." Aurus opened the door, and Link was amazed at the growth spurt that she had gone through. Before, she had barely come to his elbow. Now she was all the way half up to his shoulder. It was amazing.

Link looked around the temple, amazed at the change. Marble bricks scaled all over the walls and it was oh so clean. And, best of all, there were no more spiders.

Link noticed it. At the end of the tunnel, where the fork came, a little boy sat. He was carving something out of wood. Link knew his name, but it just wouldn't come to mind. That was when it hit him. It was Daisusi, the little boy who served Din!

When he looked up, Link saw his eyes were no longer hazel, just as Aurus's eyes had changed color. His eyes were not green, though. They were a blood red. Aurus knelt down next to the boy and brushed the tears that had been falling down his cheeks.

"Now, now, Daisusi. You brought this on yourself." Aurus stood up, turning to the threesome. "Daisusi made the mistake of getting Sheik captured to save Din. Din was very angry with him and let him go as a servant of hers. Every since then, he hasn't said a word. He's just sat there and cried."

Link sighed, looking at the young boy. Even though it Link had just learned that this boy was the cause of Link's worry and anger, he couldn't unleash it on him. It was like killing your dog when he peed on the floor. It seemed cruel and unthinkable.

Link knelt down next to Daisusi. "It's okay. I forgive you." The boy stopped sobbing and looked up in shock at Link. Link stood up and walked away, now in the front because he knew where to go.

Chelsya watched him, feeling warm and embarrassed at the same time. And very very happy. She folded her arms and looked away from him. That was just Link being the Hero, Chelsya thought to herself still feeling that feeling.

Aurus had noticed the way that Chelsya had looked at Link and was now smiling. "You love Link, don't you?" She whispered in Chelsya's ear. Chelsya turned bright red.

"W-what?! What are you talking about?!" Chelsya hissed back. "Me? In love with that weirdo? You must be crazy! I mean... well... I suppose that I do. I really wish that I didn't though. He's so caught up in Milly that he won't look at me more than a friend." Chelsya sighed, looking down at her shoes.

Aurus smiled softly at her, unable to quite understand. Alayana had been listening to this in silence while Link was too far ahead to hear. Knowing Link, he probably didn't even know that Chelsya liked, no, loved him.

Alayana kept staring at Aurus. While she had thought for a moment that it was Daisusi who was to be the next Sage of the Forest, it was now obvious that it was Aurus. Now the only problem was how to explain it.

Link glanced back at the girls, wondering why in the world they were so slow. When Aurus noticed that Link was staring at them, so giggled wickedly and whispered something to Chelsya, whose face was already quite red. Even now it grew redder.

Alayana jogged up to Link and pulled down on his sleeve, indicating that she wanted to talk to him. "Link! I know who the Sage of Forest is! The Sage of Forest is Aurus!" Link blinked down at her.

"What? How do you know that Aurus is the Sage of Forest?" Alayana gave him a look. The same look that mothers give to their young sons when they ask too many questions. Link felt like a little boy all of the sudden.

Alayana walked over to the two elder girls, in which Chelsya's face just kept getting redder with every single thing that Aurus said to her. Link was pretty sure that he didn't want to know what they were talking about. Alayana gave them both the look that she had just given Link, and both girls stared at her in silence.

"Aurus." Alayana said, her voice commanding. "Two hundred years ago, the Sages were found by the Hero of Time. They're time has come to leave this world and find successors. Saria, the Sage of Forest, has chosen you to be her successor. I give you this Forest Medallion." Alayana brought her hand into the air, closing her eyes.

A light came to her hands and the green medallion was in the young girl's hands. She put the Forest Medallion in a surprised Aurus's hands. She looked up at the Forest Medallion. "How can I... how can I be the Sage of Forest? I'm... but I don't understand!"

Alayana looked away, choosing to say nothing. Aurus felt anger come to her face, as well as confusion. No... this meant...

"No!" Aurus cried, tears coming into her eyes. "How can I ever be with Sheik if I live forever?!" For a while, no one spoke, unable to answer the question. Finally, Farore came through the door that had been locked when Link had been here last. Upon seeing them and the Forest Medallion, she sighed.

"I do suppose that this be mine own fault. It is my duty to explain it to ye all."

A/N- That was an okay chapter. I guess. Bah, who cares!? R&R! Tell me what's wrong, spiritofwater! Don't speak in too much Spanish, UnbowedUnbroken, cuz me only speakens the Japanese.
