How long was this going to take? I gestured to the chuchu that was bumping me.

"What do you think?" I asked it. Of course I knew that it wouldn't respond, but I was starting to get annoyed because it had been a few days ago that I saw a ten-year old reincarnation of Link go into the temple of time as I later learned it was named. At this point I was about to go into the temple myself when I saw a tall green-skinned man with orange hair go in while talking to himself. I did not yet know if this person was an enemy or a friend, so I chose to listen to what he was muttering.

"At this rate, the tri-force will be mine! And that kid in green will be in a state of deep sleep until he is 17, so I have seven years to take over this country and its temples." At this he let loose an evil laugh.

Is he insane, I wondered, but then another thought replaced that one. Did I seem that evil and crazy to Link? I became somber at the thought of the Link that I knew. He did almost kill me, but I deserved it, and it was only thanks to Ezlo and Link that I was forgiven for my misdeeds and spared. It had been one hundred years ago that I had gone back to live with the Picori. I couldn't go into the human world, or, I wasn't allowed to go into the human world. I could, but because of what happened Ezlo stopped me. He had said that I could go back the next time the sanctuary opened. At this, I shook myself out of my thoughts, and as I was around seventeen human years old, I used up almost all of my magic to transport me into the future when the green-skinned man said that Link would wake up.

I had gotten to the future and saw that the area around the temple had changed drastically and at that, I fell unconscious.

"Hello? Are you alright?" I felt someone gingerly turning me over, most likely to check and see if I was still alive. I could hardly move and I felt as if a Goron sat on me. After he checked my pulse I groaned and tried to open my eyes and I only did for a second before I got dizzy. It was Link who found me. Good. At this I heard a second voice, this one shrill and tinny.

"Link, did you see its eyes? They were bright red! It is probably a minion of Ganondorf." Wonderful. I already seem like an evil minion.

"I will not let anyone die because they look evil. I am helping him to go a safe place." When he finished speaking he lifted me up bridal style. I tried to voice my unhappiness, but I was too weak to do even that. It wasn't that he was carrying me that I objected to; it was more that I was too weak to do anything on my own.

I could now keep my eyes open for a few seconds at a time, and Link was running past a lot of monsters, and when we had gotten out of the town, he played a song and a horse came running to him.

"Sorry," I didn't know what he meant until he threw me on his horse and rode away from the monsters.

After a few minutes of riding he slowed back down and started to carry me again. I sighed when I felt the cool forest air wash over me. He carefully laid my back against a log, and started rummaging through his bag, and pulled out a bottle with a red liquid in it. He opened my mouth with his hand and started pouring the contents down my throat. I started to try to stop him, but he told me that it would help and I tried to make it easier on him.

It didn't do much, but it helped enough to let me say a few words. I sat up and spoke.

"Please, out of magic," I rasped out before slumping back again.

"I will try and be back soon!" he exclaimed and ran off. That was the last thing I heard before slipping back into unconsciousness.

I woke up to Link yelling at me to wake up, and I opened my eyes to let him know I wasn't dead. This time he wanted to give me another potion, this one green. I actually knew what this was, thank goodness, because I used them to keep my magical strength up. He slowly gave this one to me and I swallowed the potion.

"That's," I coughed, "a lot better." My voice was still quite hoarse, but I could speak now.

"Thank you, Link," I smiled at him.

"What happened to you, erm..." he trailed off.

"Oh, sorry, my name is Vaati. As for what happened to me, well,"

"I know what happened, Link, IT," the fairy pointed at me, "probably caused this whole thing in the first place! If we get rid of it now, we can be done with this whole thing now."

"Leave now, Navi. Before I get really angry."

"But Link," she started

"Leave." He pointed towards the hollow log that we came in through. That annoying fairy fluttered away, thankfully.

"Now, Vaati, what were you going to say?"

"I was going to tell you that the reason that I am so drained is that I used all of my magic to travel seven years into the future."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"I want to come with you. Over one hundred years ago I stole what you call the tri force, and took over Hyrule. One of your incarnations stopped me before I could do something that I would probably regret later in my life, and he could have chosen to kill me, but he didn't. He chose to forgive me, and because of that I have been in his debt ever since. In order to atone for my misdeeds, I want to help stop the evil threatening Hyrule at this time. I did bad things in my life, but please let me help you do something bigger than myself, bigger than everyone," I sighed, "Please. I won't be a burden or anything.
