"Time for a history lesson"
I groaned. Eagus said we would be training today.
"This is gonna be fun"
"Don't even try it Dwight, just get it over with."
He pulled out a picture of four goddesses. One looked human but had wings. The other three looked human too but they were green, blue, and red.
He pointed to the green one.
"This is Farore, the goddess of courage."
"Courage…"
He pointed to the red one.
"Din, goddess of power."
"Power…"
He pointed to the blue one.
"Narayu, goddess of wisdom."
"Wisdom…"
He pulled out a picture of three triangles, like the ones on the Master Sword's pedestal.
"This is the Triforce; it was created by the three goddesses I just showed you. The top triangle symbolizes power. The left symbolizes wisdom. The right one symbolizes courage, the one you possess."
I held up my right hand. It matched the design perfectly. Well, it matched the right side.
"What about the one with wings?"
"That's Hylia, the queen of the goddesses. She presides over all other goddesses. It was she who ordered the creation of the Triforce."
"What's the purpose of the Triforce?"
"No one is sure, but I believe it was to give people hope."
"Hope? Did anyone really need hope that badly?"
"You have absolutely no idea…"
"Idea about what?"
"That's a lesson for another time"
He smiled.
"Dwight! You make me sit through a history lesson and when I finally get interested you stop!"
"That pretty much sounds like me!"
I moaned.
"You got the stone I presume?"
"Yep"
He took my sword and tempered it again.
"Done."
"Any new moves I can do with this stone?"
"Nope."
"Then what was the point?"
He walked over to a stack of bricks and raised his sword.
"What are you doing?"
He sliced straight down and cut directly through the blocks. I guess he saw the look on my face because he smiled.
"That was the reason."
I picked up the sword. It was lighter than before. I was still able to swing it without too much effort but it moved a lot faster.
"Where to next?"
"Only one more to go, it's at a lake."
"You mean, like in the lake?"
"Possibly, I don't know exactly where it is now. Don't forget, the last time I was alive 500 years ago."
"Let's figure this out…"
