Timmy landed on a branch outside the Devourer. He held out his arms for balance as he regained his bearings. This was the first time he had set foot on solid ground for a while now. Once he was sure of his footing, he turned around to leave. What he didn't see was the Zora princess standing behind him, shoving him off of the branch and into the water. He resurfaced to the sight of the young girl flipping off of the branch and gracefully diving into the water alongside him. He could tell that the water was her element, just as much as tending to plants seemed to be Flora's.
Aisha swam up next to him and crossed her arms, using her legs to keep her afloat. "That was for coming in there after me! I was handling myself fine without you!" She looked away before adding, "But I also owe you for saving me from Barrinade. What do you desire, messenger of the Royal Family?" Timmy grinned and pulled out his pouch. Inside were Kokiri's Emerald and Goron's Ruby. "You are searching for the Spiritual Stones..." Aisha realized. She uncrossed her arms and held out a balled fist. When she opened her hand, she revealed that she possessed the last of the Spiritual Stones. Timmy stated wide-eyed at the sparkling jewel in her hand. "You can have it," Aisha told him eagerly. "I'm supposed to give it to the man I'm going to marry, but I don't want to get married yet. If you hold onto it, I won't have to marry anyone! Thank you, Timmy!" she grinned widely, dropping Zora's Sapphire in his pouch. "Don't tell the king and queen that you have it," she instructed before swimming off to see her relatives.
Stella flew out and hovered next to Timmy. "We did it..." she said, amazed. "We really did it! We're going to save Hyrule!" She flew around his head in excitement. Timmy himself was too stunned to move. Had he really done it? Collected all the Spiritual Stones? Wow...a couple days ago, he would have thought it impossible, yet here he was. He really was going to save Hyrule!
Timmy started following Aisha when something caught his eye. There was a crack in the wall next to a sandbar. Intrigued, he swam over and picked the explosive bomb flower growing beside it. Thanks to the bomb, the wall shattered, letting the song being played inside make its way out to the rest of Zora's fountain. Timmy walked into a familiar setting: waterfalls and a fountain. He quickly pulled out his harp and plucked out "Tecna's Lullaby." The sound of singing resounded through the chamber, and the Guardian Fairy of Music showed her face again. "Hey, Timmy!" Musa greeted. "How have you been?" she asked, lifting her arms up to heal him from his multiple bruises, courtesy of Aisha. "Now that you're healed, I can give you another blessing," she told him. "This is a gift from the goddess Morgana. It's the power of Zoomix, and it will allow you to teleport when you're in temples." Timmy looked at her, a bit confused. Musa just smiled, "You'll understand soon, Timmster! Come back and visit!" The Guardian Fairy descended back into the fountain, and Timmy figured he was done there. He quickly exited Zora's domain, waving to Aisha and two of her cousins as he left. Timmy was so eager to show Tecna the three Spiritual Stones that he tripped and fell into Zora's River. The current deposited him on the riverbank at the edge of Hyrule Field.
Stella grabbed Timmy's collar and dragged him up to higher ground. "Timmy! Lazy bones! Wake up! Look at the sky! It's weird!" Timmy opened his eyes and wiped off his glasses. Stella wasn't kidding; the sky overtop of Hyrule Castle had turned an ominous black. He remembered Tecna saying something about a black virus in her dream, and black clouds filled the skies in his own. Whatever was the cause of the darkness, there was no way it was good. Mustering up whatever strength he had, Timmy dashed off towards the castle.
He sprinted all the way to the lowering drawbridge, which hit the ground by the time he got there. It lowered much more quickly than usual, and Timmy wondered why. His question was answered when a horse bolted out past him. It was white and had two riders: one older with silver hair and the other younger with magenta. Timmy briefly made eye contact with the younger one, and realized who it was instantaneously: Princess Tecna. She clutched something black in her hands, and threw it towards him once she had his attention. Timmy, not being a very coordinated one, missed the throw. The black object hit him in the head, knocking him over. He rubbed his head as he stood up, noticing that the white horse was quite a distance away. Turning around, he saw what they were fleeing from: a crimson horse with a tall man as the rider. This man was the same one Timmy had seen at the castle. The one both he and Tecna had dreams about. Valtor.
The pasty-skinned man looked down at Timmy and grinned evilly. "Which way did the princess go?" he asked threateningly. Timmy didn't answer, but instead pulled out his sword. Valtor responded to the gesture with a laugh. "You want to fight me? Fight this!" he said, aiming his pointer finger at Timmy and releasing a blast of magical energy. It knocked Timmy down and into the moat. Valtor only shook his head as he rode off in pursuit of the princess.
"Timmy!" Stella shouted in horror as the boy fell into the water. Using all of her fairy strength, Stella yanked Timmy out of the most and jumped on his stomach to try to wake him up. Timmy sputtered, coughing up water before he started breathing soundly again. "Valtor is after the princess!" Stella exclaimed, fear in her voice. Timmy looked around for a sign of Valtor, but instead noticed the black object that Tecna had thrown him. Picking it up, he saw that it was some sort of technological device, with a high-tech screen and everything. He touched the button on the bottom, and an image of Tecna popped up, holding a harp. Intrigued, he touched the picture, causing a video to play on the screen.
"Timmy, if you are watching this, then Valtor has attacked, and I was unable to congratulate you on gathering all of the Spiritual Stones. Now, it is your responsibility, yours only, to bring Kokiri's Emerald, Goron's Ruby, and Zora's Sapphire to the Temple of Time. Put the stones in their respective pedestals, and use this tablet to play the Song of Time. There is a harp app that I specifically designed for this purpose downloaded already, so you don't have to worry about learning how to design your own app. Now, listen to the Song of Time." The Tecna on the screen stopped talking and plucked out a somber tune on the harp. "Play this to open the door to Realix. I'm counting on you, Timmy," she concluded with sad smile before the screen shut off.
"Wow..." Stella murmured. "We need to do this, Timmy," she added quietly. "Like the Great Deku Tree said, the fate of the world rests in your hands." Timmy nodded before holding the tablet securely under his arm and walking to the Temple of Time. He hadn't been there before, and he was astonished by the architecture inside. Everything from the stained glass windows to the symmetrical floor tiles amazed him. "Timmy, you have to hurry!" Stella pleaded. Timmy snapped out of it and dashed to the back of the temple. He gingerly took out each stone and placed each on its respective pedestal. Once all three stones were in place, he took out the Tablet of Time and opened up the harp app. He pressed each string in order to play the new song Tecna had made the video about. When he was done, the Spiritual Stones began to glow. Behind the pedestals, the wall began to shake. It split into two and retracted, revealing a doorway. Timmy cautiously stepped through, expecting to enter Realix. He was surprised when he merely entered another chamber in the temple. This one was different, however. There was a hole in the ceiling, letting light fall onto an object protruding from the ground. Upon closer inspection, Timmy realized that it was a sword, one much more magnificent than his small energy sword that he carried.
Stella flew up to it and landed on its hilt. "This sword must be the final barrier between the world and Realix," she said quietly. "Timmy, you have to draw the sword and break the basrrier so we can get the Triforce! It's the only way to save Hyrule!" Timmy nodded and walked up to the sword. He placed both of his little hands on the handle. Tightening his grip, Timmy yanked up, dislodging the sword from its existence in the stones. As soon as he did, the room began to fill with white light, but not before he caught a glimpse of an all-too-familiar man in a crimson jacket standing in the entryway.
"Well done, boy."
Timmy heard Valtor utter those words before the rest of the world went white, and he slipped out of consciousness.
