Sheik and I stared at each other in the eye before she/ he spoke "I have been waiting for you..." She told us. I held my heart close "Link, the hero of time..." She looked at me "Lina... The-" I lifted my hand to stop her. She eyes dropped in sadness "you two... Overcome many hardships and awaken six sages, and now you have the final challenge and even all your complete pieces of your heart... A showdown with Ganondorf, the King of evil, must begin"

"Sheik, you're here on our final fight" I looked down at Link's words "just who are you and why have you been helping us..?" Sheik closed his eyes

"Another unknown legend of the Triforce passed down by the shadow folk, the Sheikah..." She started telling him about the legend of the Triforce, the story she knew and not the story of the Triforce of courage never showing up "seven years ago, Ganondorf used the door you opened in the temple of time and entered the sacred realm, but when he laid his hands on the Triforce, the legend came true" I glanced away "the Triforce of power remained in Ganondorf's hands... The strength of the Triforce of power enabled to become a mighty, evil King, but his dark ambitions were not satisfied..." we listened to her story until she finally showed us the Triforce of wisdom that may be given to the seventh sage, destined to be the leader of them all...

"Zelda..." I frowned, watching her transform back to her old self. 

"It is I..." Zelda smiled

"Zelda!?" Link gasped. I pouted my lips before running to hug her. She opened her arms happily to let me hold her

"Zelda..."

"I'm sorry... I wanted to be with you and Link so badly, but I had to hide from the evil King... Just as you told me back in the slumber party, I listened to the goddess you played to be" I chuckled, pulling myself away. Telling us the story of when she escaped Hyrule castle, I felt that guilt I felt that day 7 years ago

"I'm sorry... All this was my doing" my friends looked confused "the plan you thought about Zelda... I knew it was reckless, and it will lead to the evil King to enter the sacred realm if Link ever opened the door of time. Link was the only one who can remove the key to enter it... I knew all this, I knew the future, and I never told you... I let this future happen on purpose"

"W-what..?" Link said. I refused to look at any one of them

"It was the only way to save future Hyrule... The broken pieces... I had to put them together for the sake of Hyrule after this era. I knew darkness would come back... No matter what. so I let this dark future happen. All this was my doing... And I'm so sorry" I tried my best to hold in my tears

"Lina... Do not put all the blame on me. I was the one who-"

"No! I had the chance to stop that plan! I couldn't... I'm so sorry" Zelda and Link took my hands individually. I stared at them surprised

"I've waited for 7 years for you and Link's return... Passing down myself as a Sheikah, I knew you would bring peace again. The six sages will open the sealed door and lure Ganondorf back into the sacred realm. I will then seal the door to the sacred realm from this world" I frowned

"It's time we fight the king of evil together" Link smiled "we'll protect you while you do your part" Zelda nodded and opened her hands to make a light shine

"You can use this weapon that can penetrate the evil king's defenses... The power given to the chosen ones..." A gold rock appeared in her hands. Link was amazed

"Isn't this one of the three power arrows you were talking about, Lina?" I stared at the gold rock and nodded

"Yes... The light arrow. It's the most useful item you may use to defeat the king and also use the master sword" I held my heart "you will not need anything else but those" I dropped his bow I had in my storage "I will keep the rest of your arrows and your other weapons..." Link stared at my worried face confused

"Lina... Is something wrong?"

"Listen... I-" I closed my eyes "Zelda... I've waited for the day when I can finally talk to you like this. I knew you were a Sheikah and I kept myself from saying anything for your sake, even if you knew I knew... It's time to fight but I-" I held her hands and used telepathy for only her to hear "I cannot fight with you" her eyes widened. my chest started glowing. Looking down at my shirt, I noticed a blue barrier was flashing between me with Link and Zelda "wha..?" Nayru's love suddenly appeared to cover Link and I and knock us down from Zelda as her body got covered by a pink barrier

"Zelda!" I gasped, reaching out to her. Link jumped up and tried getting pass my barrier, but it won't let him. Why..? Why did my powers suddenly release itself?

I flinched when feeling the Goddess of Time floating behind me. Oh... "Zelda!" Link shouted "Lina! Lift the barrier!" I bit my lips, standing up and took a tight grip of my scythe

"Princess Zelda... You foolish traitor! I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven years" the voice of that monster spoke. I glared "but you let your guard down... I knew you would appear if I let these children wander around!" Zelda looked at the barrier around her, trying to find a way out before it stunned her. I snapped and ran out my barrier to free her, but my body suddenly got stunned as well, falling backwards before Link caught me

"Lina!"

"My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the power of these children... Especially the one with the blue hair" I forced myself to sit up "It was not the children's power I misjudged, it was the Triforce of courage and... Something quite intriguing about the maiden"

"Ganondorf..." Link growled. I flinched when he suddenly sounded like a beast

"Intriguing... With the Triforce of wisdom that Zelda has... When I obtain these two, then I will become the true ruler of the world. The blue maiden's power... What will you grand me when I take it?" Shadows was trying to grab a hold of my body, but the blue barrier had already surrounded me again "very well... I've seen your bond with Zelda, if you want to rescue her, come to my castle, where I will obtain the extra piece!" Zelda's body disappeared.

"Z-Zelda..." I cried. Link helped me up. I looked down devastated. Again, I was too slow. My own light departed from me to protect me. How can he possibly know what my own power possesses... And he thinks he can take it when I worked so hard to make it grow 

"Come on! We have to go!" Link carried me all the way to Ganondorf's castle. I forced him to release me when we made it to the front "Lina... What are you doing?"

"I... Can't go Link"

"Don't listen to what Ganondorf says! He won't get a hold of your power! I'll protect you!" I held my chest.

"That's not what I'm talking about... I can't battle with you"

"What?! Why not!?" Navi asked. I walked backwards to come closer to the goddess waiting for me. Link walked forward

"Lina... Where are you going?" I smiled, handing the scythe back to the goddess so she can lift it in the air and flash a light "no..." He shook his head "y-you're not leaving, are you?"

"No... But I'll be waiting for you" I pointed the bow on his arm "it is your destiny to defeat the evil King... Not mine"

"But I thought we were in this together!" I shook my head as my body glowed "Lina! No!"

"I'll be waiting for you when you succeed" I held his hand "promise me you and Zelda will come back safe" he nodded, trying to hide his hurt face

"I promise..." My body floated up in the air, making our hands separate. He nearly panicked and tried getting it back, but I was too far up "Why..?"

"See you later" my surroundings turned white. The goddess of time and I faced each other, but I still could not see her face

"Blue maiden..." I opened my hands to make Din's fire, Nayru's love, and Lanayru's wind float around me. The red, blue, and green light floated around me like how Regret described me back in that dark era with the very first hero... I looked back at the goddess "you had fulfill your destiny for the hero of time... It is time to start your new destiny" I nodded

"I understand but... Please, will you find it in your heart to finally tell me who I am" she tilted her head to the side

"Find it in my heart?" I nodded "it is not up to me to tell you who you are. You will grow to find the truth on your own... You have get one more piece of your light to gather, then start your new adventure. Once you complete that, you'll know" I gasped, putting my hands together

"I will!?" She sighed. I found myself smiling, then frowned when sensing that it was a slight lie

"I will send you to your childhood... Where you will know what to do before Link comes back. Do not worry, he will be fine. Are you ready to go back?" I nodded, looking down. I cannot question her anymore "very well... I entrust my scythe in your hands. Good luck" my surroundings turned white again

I opened my eyes to see myself on the floor in front of the temple of time. Sitting up and looking down at myself, I see that I turned back to a kid again. I put my hands together before using the side to jump off safely and not be caught and run to the market

Everything is the way it was before... It was so peaceful it made me want to cry. To think the other timeline Link is currently, of the market was destroyed. I looked around to stare at everyone doing their daily errands and such. I had the erg to dig in my dress, and take out the spiritual stones of water, fire, and forest. I looked back at the temple of time... Why do I have these in my possession?

"How is Link going to get out after putting the master sword back?" Something in my mind was telling me the doors were closed, but he will be able to get out because of his magic. I smiled and ran to the middle of the market, noticing a group of Gerudos keeping guard, armed, and making people question them silently

I pumped my chest and went to face them. I must be in the time when Link and I got the last spiritual stone, since I have all the stones in my possession. I looked up at one of them looking around, but when I got close, the back of my dress got grabbed to lift me in the air like some doll

"H-hey!" I glared and turned to who lifted me, only to see Jasmine smiling at me "J-Jasmine..?"

"Oh my... You're so adorable!" Her eyes sparkled. I blushed "I can't believe I missed out on this!" She hugged me like it wouldn't make me run out of air from how hard she was squeezing "oh! Sorry!" She giggled and put me down. A few Gerudo were eyeing us "Lina... You came back to the past... At the time where Ganondorf will be on his way here. The Gerudo are around to keep people from coming closer. They say they'll let everyone keep their lives but that's all bull-" I closed her mouth

"Jasmine!" She chuckled

"That was unnecessary, I'm sorry" she took out her swords from behind her "I will remove the brainwashing jewels... I did a lot of that back in the fortress earlier so let's do this... You go to the princess and protect her" I held her hand she offered

"Thank you for being here" she nodded

"Of course... Now go!" She faced her fellow race before attacking unexpectedly. I ran to the castle, using my speed of light to pass the guards so they would see me. Looking around the castle to find her since she wasn't in the courtyard, I found her talking to her father with Impa... Which I never expected I meet at all

"Zelda!" I shouted. Zelda and Impa turned around to see me. Zelda gasped happily as I ran towards her

"Lina! You're back!" I showed her the spiritual stones "you have them! That's wonderful! Now we can prevent Ganondorf from taking the Triforce!"

"Zelda, what is the meaning of this?" The King asked "are you putting other people to believe in your ridiculous dream?" I let the spiritual stones float around Din's fire, Lanayru's wind, and Nayru's love to formally face the king. Zelda looked worried since I looked so serious

"The Gerudo King as deceived you, King of Hyrule. The dream the princess had seen is true... It will be true if we do not put any action into this!" I took out my scythe, shocking Zelda and everyone else in the throne room "I am a holy messenger of the goddess of time, swore to guide the hero to keep peace upon the land! 7 years had passed and Ganondorf had become the evil King of the sacred realm"

"Impossi-" I stomped the scythe on the floor to silence him

"I am here to inform you that Zelda and a young man named Link planned on taking the Triforce to keep Ganondorf from ruling the world. But because the door of time opened thanks to these spiritual stones, and the hero of time drew the master sword, Ganondorf had access to the sacred realm and take the Triforce of power" I waved the scythe around to show a vision of the future "to be able to obtain this future, Ganondorf spread darkness to many parts of the land to obtain the spiritual stones. After getting what he wanted, wanting to keep the other races out of his way, he planned to kidnap the princess, who is the seventh sage... And kill the king of Hyrule. I came back in time to tell you this future" Zelda cupped her mouth, gasping loudly, before coming to hold my arms

"You saw this?! Lina!?" I nodded "father! Please! You see this with your own eyes! You must believe in the prophecy now! Please do something!" She held my hand. Impa stood behind us to strengthen the truth I was telling. The king was speechless, staring at my serious expression while Zelda was trying to be strong by holding in her tears

The door behind us slammed open. Zelda gasped when seeing Ganondorf walking through the door with a terrifying smirk on his face. Impa kept her close, I kept them behind me while the king stood from his throne and the soldiers around us pointed their torches at him. He looked around confused, until he noticed the three spiritual stones surrounding me. His eyes widened like they were about to pop out. Seeing that was enough to convince the king. I pointed my scythe at him

"Ganondorf, King of thieves, what is the matter?" He took his eyes off the stones and looked into my eyes, widening them even more than possible. Hm?

"Y-you..." I lifted my hand to make the spiritual stones visible from the three lights

"Is this what you are after? Or is it the ocarina of time Zelda holds in her possession" he was taken back by my words. My eyes widened like a psychopath and lowered my scythe with my back arched a little "I dare you to try and pass me... I will not allow you to hurt these people" I pointed my scythe again. The weapon had such a long stick to it that it would be odd for a small girl like me to hold with one hand "as punishment for your crimes, you will be executed..."

He started laughing "I am absolutely amazed... The look in your eyes are quite something. I didn't expect to meet such a terrifying young girl"

"Lina..." Zelda held my arms. I closed my eyes and let the king of Hyrule handle him. He tried getting this tribe to help him, but they stayed behind him, betraying him. This shocked the evil King. The Hylian soldiers took a hold of him and send him away with the King's orders. Zelda and I ran into the hallways of the castle and arrived in the courtyard

"Lina! You were amazing!" Zelda giggled "are you really the messenger of the goddess of time?" I smiled, waving my hand to my face to give myself some air. I put the spiritual stones away in my pocket

"No, I made that up. I couldn't just show up and say things without a proper title. No one would take me seriously. Since I have magic, it's believable, isn't it?"

"Oh! Yes! Absolutely! You're so smart! I knew you were powerful and smart, but I didn't think you'd have the power to know such knowledge. Did you... Really come back 7 years into the future?"

"Yes... I did" she looked down

"So my plan to obtain the Triforce to defeat Ganondorf backfired..."

"It's alright, it's a good thing I stopped everything on time before it happened again" I looked at her for a long while... After all we've been through, I come back to a Zelda that never had to hide or seen anything. Feeling the sensation within me, I took Zelda's hands and focused hard on what I wanted to happen.

It felt like forever since we've been like this. When I felt the glow stop, I opened my eyes to stare at her crying before she looked to her side and gasped. I looked at where she was looking at and smiled, staring at Link and Navi approaching us with a smile

"Link..." I smiled and faced him "Welcome back..." He nodded happily and ran up to us for a group hug. Zelda cried on his shoulder as Link hid his face on my shoulder. I pat my friend's heads, making them know that it was okay... Finally, there is peace

There is peace but this is not the end! Lina still doesn't know who she is and she's going to have to figure it out in when? The events of Majora's mask! Duh! Hope you can stick around for more adventure! Bye bye!
