I couldn't think. I couldn't do. I couldn't talk. I didn't even know until I saw myself in the mirror. I would never be able to leave. I felt angry, scared, sad, and dreary all at once. I didn't feel evil, though, so there had to be a way out of it.
"Why?" I asked Farore and Nayru, "Why did I have to experience their losses?" It felt like a circle that could never be a line.
"It was the true test to see if you were worthy enough to continue your journey," said Farore.
"I feel guilty not saving my parents when I could have."
"I don't blame you," said Nayru, "So far, though, you have passed our test. There is a way to be purified."
"Please, tell me what. I'll do anything to be made pure." They looked at each other but even so had to step away for a few minutes. After the time passed, they floated back.
"There is nothing you can do," Farore states. This discouraged me and ripped away my determination.
"For we are the ones who have to do it," Nayru adds. What I realized at that moment scared me.
"Please don't tell me you have to give up your lives to do so." Saying that instantly calmed me a bit. The goddesses appeared quite surprised at me and gave me a mirror. What I saw relieved me of my worries and filled me with determination. That determination did not last very long, though, as the goddesses rested in their chairs, now appearing ill. "Are you alright, your majesties?" Immediately after asking, they faded away from me (disappeared, not died). Then, the whole room began to quake before my feet. From the ground of clouds came grey clouds, then misshapen clouds, then came all the monsters I've ever faced, a distance of at least a football field. They were rather passive, though, with every step I took towards them. Since I knew I was safe from them for the moment being, I knelt on the ground and struggled to find an answer for the losses I had experienced.
I didn't want to think it let alone say it, but I lost my sanity there and then. But at that moment, I heard the gentle whispering echoes of a voice calling my name. I was a bit timid at first, but after composing myself enough, I heard it call for me again, echoing through the heavenly clouds.
"Who- who is it?" I asked.
"It is I, Princess Zelda," the voice responded.
"Where are you? I haven't the slightest clue where to start searching for thee."
"You must remember something, first, to know where to find me."
"What?"
"You were provided with the Triforce of Courage for a reason."
"How has Addanc been treating the captives?"
"He hasn't tortured anyone of us yet."
"Is anyone else there other than our group?"
"You'll have to see for yourself once you are familiar with the location I shall teleport you to, but you must destroy these monsters first." By this point, I had calmed down greatly.
"However shall I do that?" I suddenly felt the ground quaking before my feet again, but the Spider Queen began to sink into the ground and explode in grains of sand dispersed through the air.
"These monsters are those of your mind. I must go now if I don't want Addanc to catch me."
"I shall see you again soon. Goodbye." That conversation had helped me more than I thought it originally would. It filled me with determination from the inside out. The ground began to quake yet again, but this time all the monsters disappeared from existence. The only one left standing was Addanc, and I knew why. I did not know how to approach that specific issue, but I knew there still had to be an atom of light within all the darkness. It took a few minutes, but I finally lost my hatred towards Addanc. Once I did, he, too, disappeared and exploded to sand dust. It was seconds after that I watched as a column of light surrounded and engulfed me. The next thing I knew, I was in a place that never saw night.
