Prologue - What is Kept
Why did Na'vi leave him alone? Link had no answers. As a mute boy living in a verbal world, he often thought through these things. His trial course involved searching high and low for his Fae best friend ever, and he failed, utterly, to find her. It was like being an over-eager candle in a closed space - he felt himself trying as hard as he could, and getting snuffed out regardless of his input. "Who? Who was Na'vi?" Everyone asked the same questions.
Except for three girls. Ironically in his previous life, the number "three" had meant more to him: Three goddesses created the earth with Power, Wisdom and Courage, leaving behind their essence, the Triforce. But the Triforce could only beholden by a virtuous, pure heart. Gannondorf of Power seized the Triforce, and the Tri-Une being split then, choosing Zelda as Wisdom and Link as Courage. But because Link had been chosen for Courage, only He knew why He couldn't talk. Words were never the same as Action. Zelda was Wisdom, and she could talk All Day Long.
So. Three goddesses. Three pieces, three people, three fates ever intertwined.
He got that part.
He didn't understand.
