It was odd hearing the Hero compare the journey to destroy evil to a simple paid job. Then again, just being around others was odd. It had been so long since Ashi had been outside this room. She wondered how Hyrule had changed this time, as it always did. Sometimes the differences were still, other times it was like it was an entirely different place. But through it all, the Temple of Time stayed the same. As it was protected by the goddesses' power. Usually evil creatures weren't able to get inside it. Though a few times it had happened. Never in Ashi's lifetime.

The Hero was drawn to the Master Sword, that much was obvious by the way he kept glancing at it. It didn't take him long to figure out that he was the Hero reborn. Moments after that, he stepped up to the Master Sword, and pulled it out of the pedestal. Ashi had close her eyes for a moment when it did, as the connection between the Hero and the Sword Spirit was established once again, making her dizzy for a brief second. Then gone was the feeling of emptiness that always replaced the connection when each Hero eventually died. [color=lightblue]"No, you just did fine."[/color] Ashi reassured the Hero after he asked if it had been alright to remove the sword. [color=lightblue]"As for your other question, yes, only the Hero and the sword of evil's bane can slay the creatures in the temples."[/color]

The corners of Ashi's mouth twitched upward as the Princess suddenly bombarded the Hero with questions, then was stopped by the Sage. It did not surprise her when the Sage guessed what she was correctly. [color=lightblue]"That is correct. My name is Ashi and I can in fact tell you what your roles are. As I said before, you are all here in order to end the cycle of evil once and for all. To do that, we will need to travel to the temples of the land. That is where things get complicated."[/color]

Ashi looked at the Lizalfos who was the Guide. [color=lightblue]"Only the Guide knows where the temples are."[/color] Next she looked at the Musician. [color=lightblue]"You have the Wind Waker, yes? By playing the song of each temple with it, the Musician opens the doors."[/color] Then it was the Princess. [color=lightblue]"The temples are covered in a darkness that would consume all who enter, if not for the powerful light magic of the royal family.[/color] Her eyes went back to the Hero. [color=lightblue]"As I said before, only the Hero and the sword of evil's bane can deal the final blow to the creatures inside the temples."[/color] Finally she looked at the Sage. [color=lightblue]"In the very heart of the temple, past the puzzles and creatures guarding it, is an altar. It is at that altar that the Sage must put one of each of the medallions."[/color]

Ashi paused for a moment to think. Should she tell them more about her role in all this? Then again, hers wasn't really important to them. No, they needed to know about the temples more than anything. [color=lightblue]"Once each medallion is in place, all five of you will gain a boost in strength. Whether that be through new magic, or some others means I'm afraid I don't know. After all the temples have been completed and all the strength is gained from them, can we finally take down Ganon once and for all."[/color] After that, she fell silent, allowing them to digest the information and give them the chance to ask questions. They couldn't say no to the quest, but they had the right to know everything they wanted about it before getting started.
