A huge temple covered in old vines. Be wary of hidden enemies.

[Paz rests inside the temple. He is still evil. Ganondorf brought him here after he was injured in the attack at the market and he has been recovering since.]

::Paz mooches around in the darkness a little, a dark, hauting tune floating through the air around him.::

(I can't believe I let them get the better of me. If I had them one by one then I could take them down, but when there are that many of them, all fighting at once, I need to be more clever.)

::Epona trots in with Link, Andrea and Navi and comes to a stop outside the temple entrance.::

"Hey! Look!"

::Navi goes green and dances around nothing in particular.::

::Epona snorts. Even the horse gets annoyed at Navi.::

::Link slides off Epona's back and helps Andrea down.::

"Be careful in here."

::He opens the door and they go inside.::

::Andrea swallows and steps in timidly, thinking about how Azura's going to murder her when she returns.::

"Do you still have that, um, thingy? The Triforce?"

"Yeah. I need to put it in a safe place."

::Link pulls the Triforce out of his pocket and looks at it.::

"It's beautiful."

::Navi flies over to the Triforce and bobs around it.::

"That's the Triforce!"

::Andrea wets her lips and takes a breath.::

(I know I mean no harm.)

"Can I touch it? I have a plan, but I need to use the Triforce."

::Link pauses. From what he's seen so far, Andrea does appear to want the best from every situation, but can he be sure?::

"Um. Navi?"

"She may be an idiot, but she's not evil."

"All right."

::Apprehensively, Link holds the Triforce out to Andrea.::

::Andrea slowly reaches out and takes a hold of the Triforce. She sighs quietly as her fingers close around it, feeling the power it contains. Swallowing, she takes it from Link's grasp, then closes her eyes.::

(Don't fail.)

::She bites her lip, then looks around, and calls out.::

"Paz!"

(I bet he's not even here...)

::Paz hears Andrea's voice echo through the emptyness of the temple and he makes his way toward the source of the noise. He sees her as he walks to the edge of the balcony he's on, her being below him in the large hall.::

"Andrea."

::Andrea's breath catches in her throat and she looks up.::

(...)

"Do you want to come down here so we can talk?"

"I'd rather come down there so I could rip out your throat."

::He vaults over the side of the balcony, landing on his feet infront of Andrea.::

"Looks like you found me."

::Andrea steps back, her mouth a little open.::

"So despite us killing that evil man, you have yet to be saved."

::She holds the Triforce tightly in her hands.::

"Ganondorf? You killed him. Impressive."

(Damn it, where am I supposed to get the power from now?)

::He takes a step forward toward Andrea, remembering something suddenly.::

"Guess i'll have to be the big bad in this world."

::Then quickly, in a swift movement, he throws an energy ball at Andrea.::

::Who was expecting it. Andrea quickly moves out of the way, then grits her teeth.::

"In which case, you'll need this. It'll give you all the power you ever dreamed of, after all."

::She tosses the Triforce at Paz.::

"What're you doing!?"

::Paz catches the Triforce and immediatley feels it's power radiating at his fingertips.::

::Andrea catches her breath and waits.::

(Please, please God, please.)

[You do feel power, Paz. A lot of it. The ground begins to tremor and quake as the temple darkens from the gathering clouds outside. Suddenly the Triforce bursts into the air and spins around above Paz's head. A bright white light emits the golden treasure as it flies through the air, a light that encompasses the whole of the chamber and those within it. It dies down after a while and the Triforce gently lands back in Paz's hands, bringing the witch to his knees. Andrea's idea worked (I know). The power of the Triforce sought out Paz's true directions and brought them to the surface. Paz, all evil inside you has dispersed. You are once again the good witch you should be.]

::Link frowns, utterly confused.::

"It didn't break?"

::Paz, already on his knees, crumples to the ground and releases his hold of the triforce. He lies gasping for air.::

"Paz?"

::Andrea quickly falls down beside him, rolling him onto what somewhat resembles the recovery position.::

"Paz? Are you okay?"

::She turns to Link.::

"Have you any of that red potion?"

::She turns back to Paz, gently touching his face.::

(Did it work? It worked. Did it?)

::He stares blankly forward, regognition not having yet reached him.::

::Link fumbles a bit and gives Andrea a red potion, while picking up the Triforce and tucking it safely away.::

::Andrea gently raises Paz's upper body, resting his shoulders on her knee.::

"Here. Drink this, it'll make you feel better."

::She holds the potion to his mouth.::

::He does drink, slowly. Though he heals externally, he sears internally. His voice breaks as he speaks.::

"...Andrea."

::He clamps his eyes shut as tears well out, tears of regret and sorrow and guilt, all pouring out as he cryes onto Andrea's lap.::

::Andrea's lip quivers but she sets her jaw and tries to be strong.::

"It's okay, Paz. It's going to be okay now."

::Gently, she strokes through his hair.::

"Everything will be all right."

[Andrea and Paz begin to glow. Get ready to head home.]

::Link moves away and smiles a little at Andrea and Paz.::

"Goodbye. Thanks for your help back at the castle. Send my best to your friends."

::He continues to cry, hiding his face as Andrea strokes at his hair.::

[Fuck off back where you came from then, fools. Andrea and Paz are sent back to where Andrea orginally cast the spell; Azura's apartment.]
