[ Oh, no. Link had better explain it a bit better. ]

No, not at all. Our Goddesses are entirely benevolent! I am certain of it. They are very kind, though I do not think they can directly interfere with anything going on in the world they created.

I think it is more that they... act indirectly, through people such as myself or the Great Fairies. They grant them things to pass on to others, like knowledge or magic. The Great Fairies themselves are also very kind--they will heal any traveler whom they are sure has been sent by the Royal Family. To a lesser extent, all fairies will offer to heal people, but it is very important that you treat them with kindness.

I suppose everyone knows the Royal Family... they are all very good people, though. The Princess, especially. She is my very good friend, and I do not think there is anyone kinder or wiser than her.

Oh... [He guessed that was a little like his own world, the gods didn't interfere but they did chose kings and create kirin to find and serve them.]

You were chosen by the gods? [He had so many questions, about the princess and fairies and more about the goddesses, but he didn't want to be annoying so he made himself ask just one.]

[ocariness]

So I've been told, at least. I was chosen by the Goddess of Courage, Farore, to bring peace back to our land.

A very evil man has corrupted it. It is my job to stop him and restore the land to the way it used to be. He is very evil, but even he cannot stop good. I had almost succeeded before I was brought here; all that was left was saving the last Sage and then facing him in his Castle.

It is not easy to be courageous in the face of evil, but I believe that the people of my world are more important to me than being afraid.

[The goddess of courage, Taiki gave a tiny smile as he listened, even though it was frightening that his world had been corrupted at least it could be saved.] You must be very brave... I hope... I hope you can still save your world... when we go back... [Because the world couldn't have ended, Taiki didn't believe that for a moment, Keiki had told him they couldn't exist if their kingdoms were destroyed.]

[ocariness]

... I believe that we will all get to go home, Taiki. It is a matter of patience and perseverance. There's a key to every locked door, after all. We cannot let them make us lose hope.

[notagiraffe]

Sorry... yes you are right... We just need to hope... and we will be able to go home...

[ocariness]

[ A smile. ]

... We must be positive, Taiki. If we are here, and we can be taken from any point, then surely our worlds, if they ARE gone, can be restored.

I believe this.

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki nodded and his smile became a little brighter.] I believe it too... we will go home.
