Din's puppet had retreated into the Spirit temple. The fool thought he was stronger there. All the silly mortal attempts at increasing their power by ridiculous margins made Nayru roll her eyes. She was fed up with his wrecking of everything in this place. It was making Farore get out of control. She could hear the life goddess' whining even now. To wait until he could damage any more of Farore's creations would be unwise.

No, better to just deal with him now.

She strolled into the Spirit Temple.

"Who are you?" asked Ganondorf, standing in front of her. "Or rather, what are you? And how did you get into the princess' body?"

Nayru narrowed her eyes at him. Stupid questions from a stupid mortal. She lifted a hand at him, in turn lifting him in the air, and binding him in place.

She could hear the little half prince in the corner mumbling something as he came back to consciousness, but he was nothing she had to worry about. She had to free Din now. Still, Din might appreciate a little present. She walked up to the prince, and grabbed the bowl full of blood next to him. She could drain him completely, but she didn't feel that generous yet. The time for great celebrations and royal sacrifices would come once they had destroyed the Fierce Deity.

She lifted the bowl and let it fall into one of the torches next to Ganondorf. The smell of burning blood filling the temple made her hungry, but she ignored the demands of her vessel, and threw the bowl away.

She stood in front of Ganondorf and spread her feet, grounding physical vessel so that she could direct her full power straight into the core of the planet. She lifted her hands, digging, searching for the hot power that was Din's being. She followed the whispers of the law.

The law she had set in place to make sure that Din would not get out. She was there for fighting the Fierce Deity, and would continue to be there for as long as he was a prisoner on the moon.

But now he was out, mortal vessel or not, and all Nayru had to do to free Din was reach into the core, and let the law follow its course.

Din awoke from her fiery slumber, tearing the earth as she made her way up through the layers of the world. Nayru laughed.

On the corner, she could feel the weak power of the shadows pooling, and something arriving. The shadow of the hero, presented before her like a trophy in a silver plate. With him in their hands, they might not even have to battle the Fierce Deity. But the world would have to be remade after this was over, so what did it matter if they trashed it a little with a last battle?

"He's free!" roared Din, entering Ganondorf's body and floating back down when Nayru removed the bindings on her vessel. "How can he be free?!"

The heat from Din's power started to melt the stone where she stepped, and even the edge of Nayru's dress caught on fire for a moment before she gave it a stern look, and it stopped.

"He used Farore's vessel," explained Nayru. She looked to the entrance of the temple, and with a blink removed all her seals around it.

Oni was there in a second. "Coward," he muttered. His eyes drifted to the corner for a second to see the shadow reaching towards the prince, and his face contorted in rage.

The way fear and worry and anger all mixed up in his core made Nayru smirk. The fool hadn't burned out his vessel when he used it, and now here he was, acting like a stupid mortal. As if time, and pain, and a simple shadow were worth anything.

"You!" roared Din, and spoke Oni's true name. A word that shook the moon in its orbit, and made her vessel spit out blood.

"I see you're eager to finish our battle," said Oni. "I've been waiting too. Waiting for too long."

It had been too long. So long, in fact, that now the battle felt cold and lifeless to him.

"Come, let's fight," said Oni, letting himself drift backwards, away from the Spirit Temple.

Din growled like an animal, and followed him.
