I apologize in advance that Lethe is such a seemingly fearless brat right now. The reasons behind it will be revealed eventually, but for now... yeah.
“A monster and an outcast,” Lethe repeated flatly, rolling her eyes as he loomed over her, “Yeah, trust me. I know. Don’t remind me.” She waved her hand past her face, glancing up. Remind me why I have to work with people like this again? she inwardly scowled at the heavens.
“I’m afraid I can’t promise you jack, M.O.” she continued, “But if you’re looking for your shadow girlfriend or whatever, your best bet is to come with me. I think most folks find it rather difficult to find things when they’re dead. And anyways… what else are you going to do besides babysit our friend here? Good job keeping him out of trouble, by the way. Sir Hal-butt isn’t really the kind of guy that easily lets things go. He’ll be searching high and low for your icy friend. You won’t make it out of the village, I can tell you that much.”
As she spoke, Lethe once again got to fiddling with the strange ring. In yet another flash of light—slightly less exuberant than the first—Lethe was back to her fairy self and already busy unstringing the ring from around her waist.
“That’s why—ngh—you’re going to need… this!” she said, at last having pulled the final knot. “As you just witnessed, this stone can transform the race of its wearer into an entirely different race, depending on the way you rotate it. It also has a strange effect on weapons and clothes, I've noticed...."
“You’re going to need this if you plan on leaving Kakariko any time soon, but I need your help finding the others first. Obviously the fate of Hyrule doesn’t only rest in your guys’ hands alone,” she scoffed, “Sorry, did you think you were really that special?”
She laughed lightly as if she’d just made the cutest joke in the world, “Ahem. Anyways, it’d be nice to understand what you’re saying for once, now wouldn’t it, Cold One? I’m sure you’ve got lots of interesting things to say.... But more importantly—you’ll be able to walk around the village without making everybody afraid you're going to freeze their children." She crossed her arms, setting her jaw, "I'll offer to lend it to you in exchange for helping me find the people I'm looking for. In case you need a reason not to steal it, however, you should know that I’m the only one who knows all of the proper combinations. So, obviously, you can’t use it without me. I would highly advise against just turning it around randomly in order to change yourself back."
Extending the ring towards Cain and Frore, Lethe waited expectantly, "Stay here and take your chances with Sir Halbert and his men or help me out-- it's up to you."

I actually really enjoyed reading that-- especially coming from Mila. Twas' totes hilar.

Frore's going to love this.
I'm ashamed to say this statement got me weirdly inspired...
In other news.... PLOT TWIST!
Everybody gets a crescent ring and becomes a magical girl just like Lethe.

Haha, yeah no-- bringing up Hyrule Warriors Impa just further drives the point home that armor is important. Hahaha. But whatever.
@Axel, alrighty. I'll add him to the list.

Looks like armor to me... Link also had leather bracers, btw. And don't forget Nayru's Love.
Anyways, Link was the Hero of Time and was able to collect weird things like heart containers that made him nigh impossible to kill by the end of the game. It's a little bit hard to just up and compare your character and his/her ability to take damage to something like that...
Either way, if you're a Shiekah that prefers to get the most out of their stealth and speed, I understand not wanting to make the sacrifice, but...
Even Impa wore a bit of heavy duty armor..
“Then I bet you weren’t expecting me….”
Lethe impassively watched as Cain’s shadow then took form. “Why did you help us?” he asked, rather rudely in Lethe’s opinion, but now wasn’t the time to correct someone on proper etiquette. Rather than a look of fear, or even surprise, an amused smirk crept across the fairy’s small amoretto face.
“Well! How interesting…” she scoffed, drifting forward and circling around Cain, looking him up and down with two large, round irises-- like gold coins permanently catching the sunlight. This would also give Cain an opportunity to get a closer look at her. Aside from her indigo colored hair and dress, she wore what appeared to be a ring around her waist—fashioned out of indigo thread and housing a beautiful silver-white gem in the shape of a downward facing crescent. At her hip was also a small, two inch long sewing needle with a handle made out of twisted silver twine.
“And how convenient,” Lethe flitted towards a tall gravestone that gave her a good view of them both, landing without a sound. “You’re quite a ways from home, aren’t you, Misplaced One?” She closed her eyes and shook her head, smirking to herself. She’d always known the Goddesses had a sense of humor, but this was really quite funny. A Twili living in the shadow of a Chilfos… now that was really something.
“Anyways,” she continued, folding her arms and smoothing out one of her obverse indigo curls, “My name is Lethe—or, rather, that is what you are to call me. I helped you because I need your help and will, in return, continue to give you my help. And, trust me, you want my help. It’s a win-win situation.”
As she spoke, she fiddled with the ring around her waist, winding the crescent gemstone left and right in a strange pattern (like a combination lock) before the crescent suddenly made a loud high pitched ping! noise not so unlike the one before when Lethe had used Farore’s Wind. With the sound, a gentle glow of white light engulfed her, growing, shifting, and ultimately dimming away to reveal a much larger Hylian version of herself. Well... fairly larger. She was still considerably short-- standing at a mere 5'1". Her ears were a bit less prominently pointed and her sewing needle had quite miraculously transformed into a eloquent rapier. The ring was now being worn on her finger.
“Oh yeah,” the young Hylian Lethe added matter-of-factly, “and did I mention all life in Hyrule—including your own—rides on it?” She placed a hand on her hip, absentmindedly fiddling with the tip of her ear, apparently somewhat bothered by their lack of fairy-like pointy-ness.
"Are you still listening?" she queried, shooting a worrisome look at the Chilfos, whose lack of outward emotion was obviously inevitable but nonetheless disconcerting, "What I'm basically telling you is that everyone will probably die if you don't do as I say."

Which may bring up an interesting point: weren't the ancestors of the Twili perma-banned from Hyrule for using dark magic?
Their ancestors were perma-banned because they tried to steal the Triforce.
@Lug: Yeah, I would have to say I agree that having some of the Shiekah know each other would make a whole lot of sense. At the same time, however, two of the three are pretty much the "run away from home" types and the third is really young and seems to have only spent the later bit of her 10 years of life as a Shiekah. They most likely would have at least heard each others' names though.
Oh, and I'm working on it. It's almost done. Sorry for the wait. These past two days have been a bust.
@Axel: Alright, CS reviewing time for Izzaz.
For the first 30 seconds I'm like... "his solo theme is rain...." lulz. Jk. Now for serious biz....
"After he felt his service was completed, he packed up only his necessities and headed into the Lost Woods." Not possible... and very foolish. He would be a Stalfos-- just like Grog. Those who are lost there or wander for too long are cursed to become Stalfos. That's in the wiki. Change it to the outskirts of the Lost Woods, and you've got yourself a deal. The 'Lost Woods' doesn't refer to the only forest in Hyrule, after all. It's just the deepest darkest part of the forest. Perhaps he could have found the artifact after wandering into the Lost Woods once and nearly getting lost there?
On another note, A BLACKSMITH. Thank GOSH. It's really been concerning me how little armor most of our heroes seem to be wearing... and if they are wearing armor- how poorly equipped they are to maintain it. One bite from a Like Like and you're all S.O.L. Better get on Izzaz's good side.
If we were going to be following Legend of Zelda logic in terms of items, everyone would have undetectable extension charms on their pockets.
Don't even get me started on the Iron Boots.
