OOC: Well, since everyone is into music, I made a MIDI to accompany the thread. It's an arrangement of Nayru's Song. I call it Nayru's Sonata.
http://fast.filespace.org/Sylphwind/Nayru_s_Sonata.mid
I also made an MP3 of it (obviously enhanced), but I had nowhere to upload it, so, you get stuck with the MIDI. XD
EDIT: Link fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
IC:
You entered the famed Temple of Nayro residing in North Castle. To pray, or just wander, you were doing your own business.
As you enter the main wing, you see a boy praying, knees bent and legs on the ground, his hand together in front of his chest, embodied in the blue-ish light coming out of the stained glass.
Slowly and silently, you walk towards the hylian. Not wanting to disturb his concentration, you wait for him to finish.
Nayru, Godess of Wisdom, aid me in this quest for truth. I have no leads on where to start. Please, I only ask this of thee. Grant me thy aid to understand where to start...
Having concluded the prayer, Tayro gets up, shakes off the dirt lying in his clothing, and greets you.
"Hi! Didn't expect to see anyone here."- he says, glad to not be the sole person here-"Come to pray as well?"

OOC: Nice music.
IC:
Alpha walks towards the Temple of Nayru, as has become his custom in the past year. Though the goddesses have never spared him from the wrath of his scar - and given his history as Wraith, he doubts they will - he continues to return here week after week for a time of solemn prayer of repentance.
This time, though, he spots a young Hylian kneeling in his normal spot. Upon closer examination of the boy, it dawns upon the Sheikah that this is Tayro. Listening in, Alpha soon hears familiar words...from his own prayers. 'Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, aid me in this quest...I have no leads...grant me thy aid...'
Wondering what could possibly cause the young boy to pray such a serious prayer, Alpha waits for him to finish. Concerned even as Tayro greets him nonchalantly, Alpha nods seriously. "I certainly do. May I ask as to what you have been praying to Nayru about? It sounded quite important."

Seeing Alpha all so stiff, Tayro smiled, trying to comfort him.
"Relax! Everything's fine!"
Sitting down on one of the benches, he gave a more nervous look, trying to find something, an alibi, to cover him up.
"Well... I was... ah..."
Tayro shook his head.
What in the world are you doing! Alpha's an adventurer as well! They're the ones who can help you most! They all have stories as sad or sadder than yours, and they definitly don't lack mystery!
Regaining his composure, and with a more serious look, Tayro looked Alpha directly in the eyes.
"You might think this is completely silly, but..."
And so, he began telling Alpha of last night's occurences: the nightmare, the intrusion, the conversation and the dream here. Everything, piece by piece, a fully complete puzzle.
"That's why I was here. The dream indicated me to go here, so... I though 'Why not?'. It might have been just a silly dream, but it's better to be safe than sorry, no?"- h said, a slight grin forming in his face.

Alpha sits down next to Tayro as the Hylian explains all that had occurred the previous night. At the end of the tale, the Sheikah slowly nods in understanding. "You did the correct thing, Tayro. You should always listen to the will of the goddesses, especially when they actually speak to you! It is something...something I have desired for some time..."
He slowly shakes his head sadly, but soon regains friendlier spirits. "Well, Tayro, should you ever require any assistance - or just someone to talk to about what is happening - come see me. I'm happy to help."

Tayro felt an ounce of pity for Alpha. He, who desired to meet with the Goddesses, had no such luck, and yet, himself, had met with one's voice.
Finding no way to comfort the Sheikah, the mage apprentice sighed.
Getting no answer from Nayru, the boy was apparently annoyed.
Man... guess it was only a dream after all...
He thanked Alpha for his concern, and started walking out of the temple, not wanting to trouble the Sheikah further.
But, as fate has it, and also age might have some influence, the Hylian was too careless and did not spot the slight ledge on the floor by a misplaced tile. Noticing only at the last minute, there was no stopping it now, as the boy tripped and fell flat on the floor.
"OW!"-he yelled, massaging his nose a bit. Everything seemed to be in place, but it hurt!
Glaring back at where he tripped, he thanked the godesses for his youthful nonchalant self.
It seemed that as Tayro tripped, the misplaced tile flew out of sight, revealing a small hole with some carvings, eaten by time. On the middle, stood a blue and golden chest, with a symbol the boy had never seen before.
Thank ye, Nayru!
He gently grabbed the box, putting it softly upon his lap.
"I wonder what it has inside?"
Genty tapping the treasure chest's lid, he slides it open, to reveal...
"A book?"-the boy said in astonishment
It seemed quite old and that it hadn't be touched for quite a while.
As the boy opened the book, mysterious carvings of an unknown language filled the pages.
"What in the world?!"

Alpha quickly rushes over to Tayro as the boy crashes to the floor, and just as quickly ducks as the loose tile he had tripped over flies past his face. 'What the - a loose tile in the Temple!?! That should never happen in such a holy place!' But he soon realizes that this is a blessing in disguise as the young Hylian pulls a chest out of the revealed hole.
Peeking over Tayro's shoulder, the Sheikah spots a book inside. As it is pulled out and opened up, Alpha gazes at the writing as well, trying to see if it is one of the languages he has learned in his lifetime.

The boy passes page after page, not understanding a thing. Alpha doesn't have any luck either, as all the strange markings and glyphs seem like nothing they have ever seen before.
Looking noticing Alpha peeking behind him, Tayro slowly turned his face.
"Well... understood anything? I can't understand a word of this..."
The boy sighed, as every page he turned only contained strange carvings and glyphs.
He passed every page of the book, hoping to find something he understood, or an image of some sorts.
As all hope was starting to get lost, the boy noticed something familiar.
"Hey, wait a second... this part here... it's in Ancient Hylian."
Inhaling, the boy read what the phrase contained.
Keeper of Dreams, hear our tales. Keeper of Dreams, find the way. Place the relic in the ..... and all shall be revealed to ye.
One word had been erased by time, making it incomprehensible.
"I wonder what this means?"-the boy pondered- "Any ideas?"

Alex entered the temple, with his head low as usual when he visited the godess of wisdom, just in time to see how Tayro and Alpha were having a conversation about a book...
He heard Tayro wrote:
"I wonder what this means?"-the boy pondered- "Any ideas?"
"Tayro? Alpha? mean what?" he said confused

Alpha puts his hand to his chin as he drops into heavy thought. "It...it seems this was supposed to be left for whomever this Keeper of Dreams could be...and that there is a relic that needs to be found, then placed in a certain spot to reveal something." The Sheikah sighs, annoyed with all the uncertainties in that statement.
He acknowledges Alex's presence with a simple nod and a smile, choosing rather to let Tayro explain while he continues to ponder the readable statement.

"That really doesn't help much..."-the boy mumbles, that light of hope that had been suddenly reborn inside him starting to wither once again.
"Who is this Keeper of Dreams? What relic? What place?!"
Thought that when I came here all would be answered... guess I'm not so lucky.
Excusing himself to Alpha for the sudden outburst, he began examining the book once again.
Suddenly, the boy heard the sound of footsteps closing in.
As a reflex, the boy turned his face to the entrance, spotting a familiar Zora there.
"Oh, Alex! I didn't expect anyone to... oh, nevermind."-the boy stopped.
Bidding the Ranger to approach them, the Hylian began retelling all that had happened in the previous night and here inside the Temple.
"...and that's when we found this book."
He lifted the book so that Alpha and Alex could check the contents more easily.
"I really don't know what I should do now..."[/i]

Alex looked at each of the symbols...none of them was familiar to him, but maybe if a part was in Ancient Hylian, just maybe...
"Hmm... I don't know how to read Ancient Hylian, but I can read Zoran, maybe there are other parts of the book that are written in other languages as well..." Alex stopped to think about the contens of the book "If Nayru showed you this book, she must really be entrusting it to you; maybe she wants you to give it to his owner, though I'm not sure; Nayru is wise and she'll know how to lead us the best way"

The Temple of Nayru had always been among the more desirable locales in North Castle Town. Serene, tranquil, quiet - although each descriptive term meant roughly the same thing, each was a significant feeling that seemed to hang about in the Temple Quarter, a mystical aura that could only be explained as the very presence of Nayru's wise entity.
Feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep at the Stock Pot Inn - and a nightmare-free one at that - Blank made his way across the breathtaking South Greens and managed to find himself in such an astonishing location. The Temple stood before him, a large building befitting of its status as one of Hyrule's greater landmarks. Glancing at the sun, the fire-haired nomad could think of nothing better to do than walk on in. He still had plenty of time left to do whatever it wash e had to do. Namely, nothing.
As he stepped into the great temple, he saw, much to his astonishment, a familiar group of people. Alpha the Sheikah, Alex the Zora and Tayro the Hylian. The latter of the three he noticed first. Tayro Wind, the young scholar. It had been less than twenty-four hours since the two Hylians had last interacted. Blank found it to be a strange coincidence that both of them would be drawn towards the Castle Town. Nonetheless, he quickly wandered over to the party and greeted his friends.
"Hey there, Alex, Alpha, Tayro. Up to something interesting, I bet. So, Tayro, any more strange dreams last night?" said Blank, a mischievous grin implanted on his face. "Whatcha got there?"

OoC: Sorry for the delay. I really have no excuse ;_;
IC:
His owner...
This seemed to echo in Tayro's mind, to try to find its matching pair, like two jigsaw pieces that fit together.
The Dream Keeper... the book's owner...
"And just who is he?"-the boy said, not noticing he was talking his mind out. He seemed far too enveloped by this mystery to trade impressions, his consciousness seemed to have drifted somewhere else.
Who... is this Dream Keeper? What secrets can he tall me? Something... about my parents?
The boy woke up from his trance by hearing another familiar voice in the vicinity.
Looking to the entrance, he spots the red-haired Nomad.
"Oh, Blank! How are you this morning?"-the boy asks, a warm smile upon his face.
Hearing Blank out, a grin also formed in the mage apprentice's face.
"Huh-huh!"-he nodded, as he began to tell Blank what happened since their last contact.
"...And that's how I got this."- the hylian finished, as he gently closed the ancient book, liting it up for Blank to see. Now with more attention, everyone sees that the cover has a rune symbol in blue on the front and one exactly the same, but in a purple tone in the back. Each has a small hole in the center, in which something might fit.

Alex looks carefully at the notches, somehow, they looked familiar to him, he had already seen something like this...
"It's pretty obvious isn't it?" he said looking at the others "We must find the artifacts that fit in, then something about the book will be revealed" he focused his eyes on Tayro.
"Tayro, I don't know why Nayru chose you, but her wisdom is infinite, whatever she wants you to do now, she must know that you'll make it fine" he said, trying to give him some courage.
OOC: I'm soooo sorry, I can't believe i forgot about your topic, please don't kill me!!

OoC: Don't worry ^_^
IC: As Tayro lifted the book, his eyes firmly gazed the book's cover, finding something he hadn't seen before. Maybe it was the excitation of the moment that led him a bit astray, not noticing the obvious carvings? Or maybe just pure distraction, or the anxiousness to discover what the book contained. It was unimportant now - he had found out.
Another clue?- the boy thought, his finger examining both the purple and the blue runes. Magical power seemed to flow through these lines, and yet the boy couldn't depict how to unravel it's secrets... all seemed to lead into another mystery, and an indefinite obstacle.
Well, it's an adventure, for crying out loud! You couldn't expect it to be this easy!- the lad thought, as he continued to search any other thing on the book.
He was suddnly interested in a small detail that Alex had told them. Yes, the book seemed to have two small openings, one on each side, in the center of the magically embedded glyphs. However, this was but another thing that led to the inevitable question - What is its use?
He sat down on one of the benches of the temple, his mind trying to solve this small but cunning puzzle. However, unlike the other cases, this answer came preety fast to the Hylian's head, as a phrase resounded in his head. 'Keeper of Dreams, hear our tales. Keeper of Dreams, find the way. Place the relic in the ..... and all shall be revealed to ye'. Place the relic in the...
"Glyph!"-he shouted happily. Not letting anyone ask what he meant, he quickly opened the page with the Ancient Hylian riddle, and began reciting it once more.
"'Keeper of Dreams, hear our tales. Keeper of Dreams, find the way. Place the relic in the glyph and all shall be revealed to ye! That's it! I have to place the... something... in the runes in the book cover!"
He quickly got up in excitement, almost making the bench fall. Yes, he might not know what the relic was, but he just had walked one step further in knowing something about his dream and, hopefully, his parents.
In the meanwhile...
On Hyrule Castle town, all was pacific and calm. People were working, strolling, the kids playing... an ordinary day, one of those Tayro hates, although his' wasn't dull at all today. However, a new face was seen in the castle. A Hylian who looked like 20 years old strolled casually in the castle. He posessed red spiky hair, whose tips became yellow, like a fiery flame. He had a red shirt and brown trousers, and a particularly lagre necklace with a big red stone hanging on it. He carefully examined all those who walked around, as if he was looking for something.
Man! Where can that stupid stone be? I need to get it fast or his majesty will be way mad at me...
Yes. That man was Setze, one of the four officers that were seen that morning in the North Forest (OoC: Check Truth of Nightmares), yet, due to the forest's lighting, even someone who had seen the scene there couldn't identify him. (OoC: I'll post a pic of him later today)
He looked to the left and to the right, and, spotting nothing, let out a sigh.
I didn't know it was gonna be this difficult! Man, I should've stayed quiet...
