Chapter 24: The Truth

"Okay... so I'm pretty sure it's around this area." Link pointed close to the Shrine of Resurrection, and you pondered on it for a moment as you looked at the points. "Maybe it's the Shrine of Resurrection he wanted us to meet him at!"

"Wait a minute." You grabbed a couple long blades of grass and crossed the from the shrines, and point was just about exactly on the Temple of Time. "I think it's the temple."

"The Temple of Time? Why would it be there?" He asked, and you merely shrugged and moved the grass off the screen. He lifted it up and looked over it closer, and then looked back at you as he lowered it. "I guess we could go there then. But if you're wrong, then-"

"Then we go to the shrine, yes I know." You finished for him, standing up from your spot on the floor. Link looked up at you, pursing his lips.

"Well, had you let me finish, I was going to say you would owe me 50 rupees, but that works too." You sighed and closed your eyes, reaching out to help the blonde up. "Off we go to the Temple of Time then!" He started pushing some buttons on the Sheikah Slate, and you looked out again at Vah Medoh. Wondering about it.

Link had the pair of you teleported to the Shrine, and while Link started marching inside, you grabbed his arm and dragged him along with you down the path. Passing the campfire, you saw the old man wasn't sitting there as usual. It was odd to see the spot empty.

Once you got to the stone staircase leading up to the Temple, you pulled out your sword, ready to fight off the Bokoblins that 'guarded' the entrance. After plenty hits and blocks, all of the measly, little red beasts were gone, giving you and Link a clear path inside the Temple.

You walked inside, and memories of traveling and battling started coming back to you, and you looked around. Link walked up to the large Goddess statue, reaching out to touch it, gaze locked onto it's colorful aura.

"You who have conquered the shrines and claimed their Spirit Orbs."

Link gasped quietly as he pulled his hand away, looking up at the face on the stone, lit up now with the light shining in from the roof.

"I can offer you great power."

"Link." You said sternly but quietly, eyeing the statue carefully. "Don't make any deals just yet. We still have to meet with the man somewhere in here."

"Shh." He shushed you, holding his hand back, and you held your head higher and reached for your sword, hearing the footsteps of Bokoblins behind you. And in an instant, you swirled around and slashed through a group of three or four. Too quick for you to even tell.

"It appears you have claimed four Spirit Orbs."

Link nodded.

"In exchange for four Spirit Orbs, I will-"

"We're leaving." You grabbed his hand and pulled him away, and while he tried to free his arm, you had a tight grip. Even while you weren't really paying attention, you stopped when you felt your foot on something else. You lifted your heel and looked down, seeing a small shard of a blade.

It certainly didn't appear to be yours, but was still odd to find in the spot it was in. You picked it up, looking over it a bit. Somehow, it looked familiar. But, you chose not to think too much about it as you shoved it in your bag, and continued with Link out of the area.

"So... you still owe me the fifty rupees, right?" Link asked as you pulled him down the stairs, and you stopped and turned around to give him a look, but instead you looked up to the roof of the temple. "Riiiight-?"

"Up there." You pointed to the window up above, and Link slouched and released a sigh. "I think we have to go up there."

"You have the oddest ideas sometimes!" Link complained as he climbed the ladder behind you, groaning and sighing about having to climb such a tall ladder. "Look, I think he's at the Shrine of Resurrection, so I'm going to go there! If you find him here, I'll find you once you have the paraglider!"
