So, I know I played the Minish Cap long, long ago, but I just now read the manga. Let's just say that I was inspired and thought that the ending just about sucked. Really, Vaati ended up back into a little Picori and lost all of his epicness, so I decided I had to rewrite this whole little ending. This fic will intercept the plot about midway through and add a few extras to mix in with the bunch.
Yes, this fic has an O.C. No, she is not a Mary-sue. Please don't skip over this fic just because of the O.C. At least go through the first two chapters before you trash it, please just give me that.
Also, besides the manga, I remember nothing of the game, so it will be off, but hopefully not far off. There was also a need to change around a few events, people, ect and I also gave Vaati an age which I assumed is fairly appropriate.
Maybe his end will be much more fitting this time around.
Today was the day. The day I've trained for my entire life. My entire life being devoted to this one cause.
"Sera..." My maidservant and closest friend called, trying to wake me, but I could not be woken. Not yet, there was a vision I needed to finish.
A boy, dressed in a dark purple robe with lavender hair and intense, blood red eyes paced in his temporary chambers. His face was distressed, torn between pain and indecision. He looked out of the single window that gave light to the room, his gaze drifted until his mind went blank.
He muttered, questioning himself, "Am I taking this too far?"
My eyes snapped open and I bolted upright, my ember hair falling wildly around my shoulders. I locked my sapphire blue eyes with my maidservant, Clohe, and exhaled deeply. She was startled, and quite frankly, so was I.
"The Elder wishes to see you, Sera," she said formally, and I grinned. She returned the gesture.
"Come on now, stop being so formal. It's been what, nearly ten years now since your family was introduced to mine?" I asked, and she smirked.
"Please, if I was being formal, I would call you by your whole name, Seraphina, Clohe teased and I frowned. For all the fifteen years of my life, I've insisted that people drop the -phina, and simply call me Sera.
"Whatever, you said the Elder wished to see me?" I asked, and suddenly Clohe's expression grew serious.
"Yes. It's time," Clohe said, her expression now grave. She knew what this day meant...
I was one of the Picori, though my history was quite different from those of the norm. I was told I had a destiny, one that I could not escape. I displayed magical ability from a young age, and for that I was taken from my home with the mountain Picori and raised by the Elder of the wind. She trained me as a mage so that I would be ready to fulfill my destiny. But what of that destiny I was unsure, what was I suppose to do? All that I knew was that it involved the one from my dreams.
I dressed in the robe I saved for today, it was simple, but good for traveling. It's main body was white, a red, laced belt came around my waist and was fastened by a blue sapphire buckle, worn under was red leggings and black boots. My cloak was a dark, maroon read, trimmed toward the bottom with an intricate white design.
When I arrived in the Elders chambers, she was waiting by her bookshelf, an old and tattered record book in her fragile looking hands. "Seraphina, it's time I told you of your destiny."
I took a steadying breath. I'd pestered my master about this day for years, but she held out and kept to herself, claiming, "I will tell you when the time comes." Even still, it finally being the day, I couldn't help but feel butterflies.
"You have progressed well throughout these many years." The Elder said, and I suppose that was true. Originally, once she found out that my strongest element was fire, she was worried. However, she was soon convinced that the powerful element was best kept in my hands, as she felt I was pure of heart and able to contain it, to use it wisely.
"Finally, the time has come for you to embark, to return to the land in which you have come. It is time to leave the safely of the clouds." The elder remarked, and I could see tears beginning to well up in her eyes. "You have been like a daughter to me."
"Master..." I said hesitantly, unsure of what to say. I didn't expect this day to be so...emotional. She cleared her throat and composed her features, ready to try this again.
"Yes, I promised you I would tell you of your destiny. Here, come and see." She motioned to the book she held and I peered over her shoulder to take a look. It was there which I saw him, written in the ancient book we called the Book of Truth. Never had the book been wrong, which gained its title as the truth. It predicted the future, telling of events to come, but only those that had to be changed.
I gazed at the illustration, an exact match of the boy in my dreams. He looked to be around fifteen, maybe even sixteen, it was hard to tell. His features resembled that of a Picori, but yet were human as well, it was an odd combination.
"His name is Vaati." The Elder said, and I averted my eyes from the text. I don't know why, but I felt drawn to him. I couldn't describe the feeling, nor decide whether it was good or bad. "He was once a Picori trained under the Sage of the Forest Picori, a good student, indeed... However, some evil over came him and turned him into what he is today. I am unsure of what is to come, only that it is you..." She trailed off and turned the page. The next illustration was one of me, wearing what I wore now, the only change being a small tiara-like headband. I looked harder and noticed a few slight changes to my body. My features were more defined, and there were new tattoos around my eyes, small dark blue, dots. "you who must stop him."
Speechless, I turned to the elder, who was now holding the very headband I saw in the picture. It was a pale gold, and in the center was an opal jewel. I put it on and immediately felt a surge of alien power flow through me. At that moment I knew I had become the version of me from the picture.
"This relic will amplify your power, and also allow you to change your size at will. It is necessary that you do not loose this, or you will have little chance at defeating Vaati. Now, my child, go and embark on your journey." As the Elder said this she held out her hand before me. With a few whispered words her hand began to glow with a golden light and my eyes closed. I lost consciousness and when I awoke, I would be in a whole new world.
A world filled with the adventure I seek.
So this is just a bit of a preview, please don't stop reading just yet. I promise to have the next chapter up soon, and also have it in third person...and have more Vaati and Link involved. This will most likely be a very short fic, and was done spur of the moment, so all I ask is for a chance to prove to you this is worth the time to read. I also promise to make the next chapters MUCH more interesting. I just had to get this out there.
Review! THANKIES :)
