"Sit down, Link," Luna insisted, making room on her rock for me, "We need to talk."

I sat down in a complete daze, still not sure what was going on, "Luna, who are you?"

"I'm your sister, Link," she smiled a little, "The twins born under the full moon with the Triforce of Courage split between them. Just like Impa's story. Only she didn't know quite how my side of the story went."

"Then, tell me," I begged, "Tell me what Impa doesn't know."

"It's a long story…" Luna stared into the night sky, completely lost in the stars. For the first time since the day we met, I finally saw her at peace.

"Alright," she sighed out, "Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Don't be so dramatic," I teased, listening intently, "From the beginning. Miss no details."

"We'll start at the beginning," she spun the tale, "I didn't exactly have the arrival at the Great Deku Tree like you did. Dad was already gone. Mom was taking you to the Great Deku Tree. Then, there was little Luna, left to fend for herself. That was until Shira found me. She said that destiny brought us together. Her vision told her to find the little girl in the field. According to her, I woke up and instantly recognized her as my new mom. As far as anyone was concerned around our village, she was. When I got older, I started asking questions about my birth parents and where I came from. I can still hear her voice in my head…

Luna froze for a minute as a lone tear dropped to the stone. She always got upset when we talked about Shira. I couldn't blame her. Shira was the mother she never had. I'm sure she saw Shira the same way I saw Saria. I don't know what I would've done without her at times while I was growing up. I gave Luna a little nudge, "Luna? Are you alright?"

"Yeah," she came to again, wiping her eyes.

"Go on," I pushed her along, "What did she say about our parents?"

"They came from a village that started Hyrule as we know it," Luna went on, "They didn't realize I had half of your power. When I was ten, my hand would start glowing out of nowhere. It wasn't until later when Shira explained how powerful I was that I learned I could use it as a way to find Ganondorf. My half resonated with his piece. It shined a little brighter when we met in the Lost Woods, though. I knew exactly who you were when we met."

"You did?" I wondered, thinking back to our meeting in the Lost Woods. She was ready to pierce my throat with her arrow.

"I did," she nodded, "That's the real reason why I called my moblins off. If I wasn't killing my brother, neither would they. I wasn't watching the only family I had left die at my feet."

"And you drawing your bow was…?"

"Instinctive reflex," Luna shrugged, "I knew you were my brother, but I needed to get a gauge on where your power was. Or if you would've fought me. But you didn't. You spared me just like I spared you. Destiny's a funny thing, isn't it?"

"It is," I smiled a bit, "But then, why did Ganondorf want you to kill me? If he wanted me dead so bad, why didn't he find me and kill me himself?"

"I have to be the one to do it," she explained, "If I spill your blood, your half of the Triforce goes to me. When Ganondorf gave me the order, I was still on his side. If he's got Princess Zelda, he has both the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom. If I kill you and switch back to his team, he'll have all the pieces and destroy Hyrule. I always thought that I was abandoned in that field…"

"Luna?" I worried as she spaced out again, "Luna, stay with me. What is it?"

"I…" Luna repeated herself, "I always thought I was abandoned in the field. It wasn't until just now that I realized that's not the case. I wasn't abandoned. We were separated, but for a good reason. If we're separate, Ganondorf can't have the full power of the Triforce. He can't have us together, Link. If we go to rescue the princess, we'll be walking into a trap. It's a double-edged sword."

"He's not going to have us together," I promised, draping my arm over her shoulders. I half expected her to flinch, but instead, Luna rested her heavy head in my chest, "We'll stop him together."

"You seem awfully confident."

"You've heard the stories," I grinned, "I know we can do it."

"We need those stones first," Luna reminded me, "If I were the Goron Ruby, where would I be? And how difficult would it be to get my hands on it?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's all part of the plan," she figured, "I go in, swipe the Goron Ruby, and we head out again to find the other two."

"No, no," I stopped her, "We're not stealing the Goron Ruby. I can talk to Darunia. I'm sure if we help put Goron City back together, he'll be more than happy to part with it for the sake of our crusade. He's done it once. I'm sure he'll do it again."

"So, no stealing from the Gorons?"

"No," I rolled my eyes. Honestly…I jumped down from the rock and offered my hand, "Come on. The job's not done quite yet."

"Is it going to be like this everywhere we go?" Luna whined, accepting my assistance.

"It doesn't hurt to have allies," I assured, "They can come in handy. Trust me."

"I get that much," she followed me back toward the city, "I still have a small army of moblins hiding out in Kakariko. But I don't know how to feel about the heavy lifting."

"Think of it this way," I put things into perspective, "You were sort of the reason why the city fell to ruin in the first place."

"Rub it in, Link."

"Ganondorf is the reason it fell to ruin, acting through you," I rephrased, "The least you can do is help them regain what was once lost."

"You're using my guilty conscience against me," she glared, "Not cool."

"Alright." This girl was stubborn, "Darunia might feel more obligated to do something for us if we do something for him."

"We brought back the hot springs. Isn't that enough?"

"No."

"Fine!" Luna caved, "Let's go rebuild the city."

It still blew my mind that Luna was my sister. That's why I kept seeing her in my dreams. Maybe I have visions like Shira did. Or could it just be because we're connected? Regardless, the two of us started heading back to Goron City. Outside the gates, most of the remaining Gorons danced around in celebration, singing songs of their people and basking in the glory of their homelands.

"Link!" Darunia charged me, "The most wonderful thing happened, brother!"

"What is it?" I wondered, hoping my spine doesn't snap.

"The hot springs!" he squealed, "The hot springs are filling up again!"

"Chief Darunia," Luna's eyes filled with remorse, "Could I speak with you please?"

"Of course, child," Darunia lifted her chin, "But why the long face? It's a time for celebration! Hopefully, we'll be able to patch things up with the others."

"Others?" I perked up.

"We were divided, brother," he reminded me, "There are some toward the top of Death Mountain led by my younger brother Darius. There's no way he'd talk to me, though. He hates me. I miss him."

"You know," I suggested, shooting a glance at Luna, "Maybe we could go talk to him."

"Not you," Darunia shot me down, "But maybe your lady friend here. Darius has always been a sucker for cute Hylian girls in short skirts."

"My skirt isn't getting any shorter," Luna put her foot down, "I can talk to him, but I'm not lowering myself like that."

"I never said you were cute," Darunia pointed out, looking me over, "But my little brother has always been easily fooled. And you have a very angelic face, Link. And some sparkly eyes."

"Uh…" my skin started to crawl, "Where are you going with this Darunia?"

"I like where he's going with this," Luna got a dirty grin on her face, "And he makes a fairly good point. You do have a pretty face, Link."

"I think I'll just go talk to him," I cringed, leaving before things got weird.

"Where do you think you're going?" she grabbed the back of my tunic.

"To the top of Death Mountain."

"Not by yourself, you're not," Luna decided, "Besides, Chief Darunia said that Darius was a sucker for a pretty Hylian girl. Unless you're going to be that pretty Hylian girl, I have to go with you."

I guess I had no choice. Luna and I started heading up the mountain and for an open cavern where assorted whispers echoed. It was too warm in here. Neither of us will last very long. We needed to make this quick before we overheat. I just hope that Luna was cute enough for Darunia's younger brother.

"Who are you?" a giant Goron stood at the entrance. But in the next breath, he recognized me, "Hey! Little brother! You're the one that took care of Dodongo's Cavern all those years ago, aren't you?"

"That's me," I nodded, "Can I speak to your chief please?"

The giant Goron glanced me over, "Nope. Chief Darius wouldn't want anything to do with you."

"So we've heard," Luna pulled her skirt up a little more, "Excuse me. I want this to be done and over with as soon as humanly possible."

"Go ahead," he allowed, "You stay here, little brother."

"Luna," I tried to stop her, but she wasn't having it.

"Don't worry about it," she brushed me off, "I'm sure after a long soak in the spring later, I'll be fine."

"The spring?" a smaller Goron came out, "The spring dried up ages ago."

"It did," Luna nodded, "But the water started flowing again. Do you think your chief could make up with Darunia now?"

"My brother Darunia?" he scoffed, "No way. He's the one that made it go dry in the first place!"

"No, he isn't!" she snapped. No, Luna…You don't have to do that, "There was a little Gerudo girl that came through here a few years ago, right?"

"Right," Darius' eyes started to twinkle, "And what might your name be, you beautiful creature?"

"Luna," she brought him back, "But that little Gerudo girl is the one who drained your hot springs. Anywhere the Gerudo princess touched began to die. That's what happened. Now, go make up with your brother."

"So authoritative," he swooned, "I like you. Would you like to take a walk around the city with me?"

"As long as you go make up with Darunia," Luna stipulated, "Instead of a walk around the city, how about a dance instead? Rumor has it, there's going to be a party at the base of the mountain, celebrating the return of the hot springs. And I know for a fact that Gorons like to dance."

"I really like you!" Darius beamed, "I'll see you then! For now, I need to see my brother."

"I'll tell the others, Chief," the giant Goron bowed.

"Thank you," he rolled out of the cavern and down the mountain.

"Well," Luna chirped, "That was simple. Shall we?"

"You accepted a dance from a Goron chief?" I teased.

"Shut up, Link," she gave me a little shove, "I'm looking forward to it like a nail in my foot, but it's one dance and it got us what we wanted."

"Fine," I let it go.

Once we got back to the base of the mountain, Darunia and Darius had patched things up already. Gorons are fast. That was good to see, though. The Gorons could finally be reunited. They weren't the only ones on this mountain. I had a sister. A twin. And I think it was safe to say that we'd do just about anything for each other. Even if it meant flirting with a Goron.

"Thank you, Brother Link," Darunia bowed to us, "And you as well, Luna."

"Darunia," she stepped forward, "I'm so sorry. For everything that's happened to you and your people."

"No need for your apologies, my dear," he assured, "Now is time to celebrate. However, we can't let you two go off empty handed, can we?"

"Here it is, Chief," one of the Gorons came with a case in hand.

"Thank you, brother," Darunia sent him off and gave the case to us, "Please. Accept this as a gift from our people."

"The Goron Ruby," Luna gasped, "I've never seen it up close before."

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I smiled, "It's been so long since I've held it in my hands."

"And let us offer you lodgings for the night," Darius insisted, "It's the least we can do. Besides, you owe me a dance, Luna."

"I didn't think she'd be your type, Darius," Darunia assumed, "I'm a little surprised."

"She's perfect," Darius grinned.

"Thank you," I bowed, putting the ruby in my bag, "We'd be happy to take a rest here."

For the rest of the night, it was nothing but pomp and circumstance. Poor Luna, though. Just because the Gorons like to dance doesn't mean some of them should. Darius especially. By the time we got back to our beds for the night, her feet could hardly fit in her boots anymore. The two of us crawled into bed and I started falling asleep. It's been a long day and tomorrow's going to be just as bad, I'm sure.

"Hey, Link," Luna whispered, "Are you still awake?"

"Yeah," I sat up, "Are you alright?"

"I don't know," she thought, "There's this weird feeling in me. Is this what it's like to be the hero for a change?"

"Get used to it," I smiled, "Because it's only going to get worse."

"I think I like it…"

"Good," I rolled over, "Get some sleep, ok? We're going to head out early tomorrow morning."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Luna followed suit, "Good night, Link."

"Good night."
