Author's Note: I wrote this when I was bored in Geometry class. Enjoy it, for it has been an idea going through my head for quite some time and I've just now finally writen it down.
Termina
For every decision, there are multiple outcomes. These multiple outcomes create different worlds, where just one different choice can change a whole world. This is the story of a land we call Termina.
Long, long ago, an evil threatened the surface. This evil was called Demise. The goddess, Hylia, worried for her people and always had their best interests in mind. So when she lifted her people into the sky, they understood that it was for the best. She was only protecting them from the evil that threatened them.
But what if the goddess never lifted that chunk of rock into the sky? What if Skyloft never existed? What would have happened to the people? Would they die? Would they live?
They would advance. When the goddess decided that it was too risky to send her people into the sky, she decided to send help instead. But this help was not enough. The "hero" fell and people started to panic. What would become of them?
The goddess heard the people's pleas for help. So instead of one hero, she sent four. The four managed to stop Demise and imprisoned him for thousands of years. Eventually, the people forgot about the goddess and Demise.
With their newfound freedom from evil, the people advanced. They built clocks and Pictographs. They opened up towns and became a democracy. Or, at least most of them did. However, there was one group who hadn't forgotten the events from thousands of years ago.
This group practiced what the normal person would call, "black magic". In reality, they were trying to reestablish contact with Hylia. They put hexes on people they thought were defying the goddess and they summoned demons to defeat anyone who said they were wrong. Eventually, they stumbled upon what they thought was the goddess.
They used this new power to try and take back the surface land. They thought that they were doing what was best. However, they realized something was wrong when the power began to get stronger each day.
They soon learned that it was not the goddess they found, but Demise. He was trying to get back to the surface, to once more wreak havoc in hopes of obtaining the golden power. The tribe knew this and tried to stop him. They successfully sealed Demise in a mask, and named it Majora, Hylian for "the twisted one". They hid the mask with the hopes that nobody would find it.
The tribe soon disappeared and life went on. The people forgot the Goddess and Demise but always remembered the four heroes, the giants. They always held the Festival of Time in honor of the heroes who brought them out of the dark times.
This is the story of how the goddess Hylia made a decision that averted the creation of Hyrule and instead created Termina. This is the story of Majora's Mask, the twisted one. Demise.
