After Navi's mistake cost the life of the Hero of Time the fairy girl became despondent and obsessive in her quest to discover what had happened to him. Despite being cut off from her homeland as well as the Kokiri Forest Navi searched for Link feverishly. She started with the Lost Woods speaking with those Kokiri that would still speak with her. In those days the trees haunted her, accused her, drove her to the brink of madness. Navi was kept sane by the knowledge that one day she would find him. She would tell him she was sorry for what she had done and she would beg his forgiveness though she did not deserve it.

Then one day Navi received news, the most wonderful and yet the most devastating news that could be. Another Hero had been called. Already devastated from the genocide caused by the invasion of Twilight and being cast away from the Deku Tree the moment it was dispelled this information caused something in Navi to break. A new hero could only be called if the previous one no longer drew breath.

Despite her personal suffering Navi knew that she needed to meet this new Link, this Hero of Twilight. There was one thing that all the heroes had in common and because of her link with the land of the divine Navi knew in her soul that the Master's Sword still rested deep within the Sacred Grove.

Deep in the forest Navi waited for the man in green to show himself once more. And eventually he did. He was almost exactly how she remembered him. His hair was different color and his face was slightly different but Navi could see her Link in the way he moved and the spark in his eye. However he was not alone. Accompanying this Link was an Imp from the Realm of Twilight, Midna was her name. Navi heard it clearly before she fled the grove and the forest.

Now once more in those woods Navi could see her again, that Imp. She smiled her teeth like fangs, her eyes as dark as night. "What are you really fairy girl? The goddesses could not have thought highly of you. Just look at who took your place. You were honored to be the companion of the Hero of Time but look at you, your nothing special neither was the position you held. If anything you were expendable. Think about the Hero's companions over the years Chaos Fairies and failed Minish Inventors. You were [i]never[/i] important to this cause and you never will be. You're trying so hard to insinuate yourself in this quest, to be useful to the Hero again but you're nothing. Nothing but a pathetic fairy full of useless facts. Hey Listen, can't you hear me. You'll leave him again and again and again. It's in your nature. You're a coward. You're a..."

Just as this Imp was about to say more a ray of light burst through the forest canopy, real pure sunlight. It cut through the image of Midna showing a black shadow that only Navi could see. Behind the shadow stood the real Midna and Zant holding weapons with which they'd clearly just cut through the stifling tree branches.

Though her chest was still heaving and her tears flowed freely Navi smiled. "Thank you."

Navi waved her hand, her palm full of clear fairy light. "Begone demon." she whispered to the wind and the shadows that had invaded Navi's thoughts vanished just as quickly as they had come. In another moment the trees adjusted themselves so that the sunlight and fresh air was quashed but Navi's mind was clear.

The fairy girl pulled herself to her feet wiping the tears from her eyes. Were they fell on the ground small flowers pocked there heads up from the ground. "I thank you both truly but we must move quickly. The forest will not take kindly to being attacked. We are however not far from the exit. The Kokiri Forest it close."

Navi led the others back to the path before the continued on there journey. Somehow the trees looked even darker and older than they had before. Navi shivered. Though her body did not normally react to heat or cold because she could control her core temperature Navi could not deny the chill that had creeped into the air. This was not a place they wanted to spend much more time.
