"He... is it... I don't believe it," I hear one of the ladies say.
"I told you the Waters of Healing would work," another says. My senses were suddenly active. I sat up immediately, water surrounding me.
"How long have I lain here?" I asked.
"You have been there for about ten minutes," Sara tells me. I then see another fairy. The five fairies I currently had were named by their elements: Millie (whom had the element of light), Agnimitra (whom holds the element of fire), Aban (whom had the element of water), Abungu (whom holds the element of the forest), and Anima (whom holds the element of spirits). There was another fairy flying over Princess Zelda and General Impa.
"What is your name, fairy?" I asked her.
"I am Asia, the fairy containing the element of life," she introduced.
"It is a pleasure to meet you," I responded. "Do you know where the Sage of Life is?"
"Yes." There were a few seconds of silence before I understood the lack of response.
"Will you please lead us to her," I asked.
"Sure. Follow me." She led us out the fairy fountain room and into another... room? This doesn't look like any room I've been in before, I thought. The room was not a room. It was outside. The air surrounding me, the statue of a goddess shining bright in the center of this so-called 'room', and even the rushing waterfall behind the statue; they filled me with determination. I saw the Sage of Life in front of the statue, praying.
"Could it be you?" she asked as she raised her head from prayer.
"If you prayed for the Hero Link, yes, it is I." She stood to her feet quickly, turned, and ran towards me. I thought she was going to tackle me for a moment until she stopped in front of me.
"You finally made it here! As you may have figured out already, I am the Sage of Life. Everyone who knows me calls me Abelia. I pray to Farore, Goddess of Life and Courage."
"I have come because of this," I said, slowly unsheathing the Master Sword." All she could do was admire the sight and gasp. "The Master Sword does not have all its power, so I was brought here by the Goddesses Farore and Nayru to empower it." There were a few seconds of silence. "I forgot to mention who I met. She rests in this sacred blade. Paige, will you come out please?" I asked the sword. I held the Master Sword high, and out of it jumped a ball of light that dissipated and became a person.
"I am Paige, the Spirit of the Sword," she said.
"Hi there!" Abelia said, excitement consuming her. Paige became a ball of light again and flew back into the Master Sword. I carefully gave it to Abelia, and she grabbed the handle. She then walked to the statue of Farore and laid the sword within her hands. As soon as the Master Sword was floating in the air, the Sage of Life prayed to the goddess once more. A column of blue light surrounded the sacred blade for, at most, fifteen seconds. After that the light disappeared, and the blade was returned to Abelia. She then turned around and returned it to me, and I sheathed it yet again. I slowly started looking at the sky when I suddenly snapped back into that same room, that same, blinding room with no decorations anywhere.
"Oh Goddesses Farore and Nayru of Courage and Wisdom, Life and Water," I said as I bowed to them.
"Rise," Farore instructed. Rise I did.
"Is the Master Sword at its best, possible state?"
"Let us see it," Nayru said. I unsheathed the Master Sword for them. "Now lay it on the ground." I placed the sacred blade on the ground before her. She held her hand out, and the sacred blade began to float. "Yes, the Master Sword has reached its full potential."
"Do I travel back to Castletown?"
"Yes," Farore said, "you do. That is the place of your first encounter with the victim of Din's parasite." I suddenly faded back to the outdoor room, everyone looking at me.
"Ladies, we must return to Castletown quickly. Something - or rather someone - waits for us in castletown that must be dealt with as soon as possible. Come with us, Abelia and Asia. I know there will be a time for your help."
"I can't," Abelia said, "I have to stay and pray to Farore."
"I shall speak with her about the matter, then."
"You can TALK to the GODDESSES?!"
"I can, and I will. Excuse me for just a moment." Back to the boring white room I went.
"Oh great Goddesses Farore and Nayru of Courage and Wisdom, Life and Water." I bowed before them.
"Rise," Farore said.
"Farore, I have a question for you."
"How may I help you?"
"Would it be okay if Abelia were to come with me on my journey?"
"I don't see how you have room on your train, but if you must, do so."
"Thank you." I faded back to the outdoor room again.
"The Great Goddess Farore has told me I may bring you along with me," I told Abelia.
"Yay!"
"Now we must be on our way." Everyone followed me to the train, and I introduced Abelia to the other Sages. "Abelia, these are the other sages I have met: Aalish (whom holds the element of fire), Doria (whom holds the element of water), Abilene (whom holds the element of the forest), and Tien (whom holds the element of spirits)."
"It is nice to meet you all in person," Abelia said, cheerefully.
"Nice to meet you, too," each of the Sages said individually.
"Alright," I said, "Now that everyone knows each other, let's be on our way back to Castletown."
