I'm back, people! I'm alive! This is my own take on the Majora's Mask game, so expect some changes.
Prologue
Link had been wandering through the Lost Woods for what had seemed like years, but in truth, it was only months. Months of seeing trees, trees, and more trees.
He shook his shoulders, adjusting the scabbard and shield binded to his back. His blue eyes focused on what was ahead: a cave that showed nothing but darkness. Was it a path that led somewhere new, or was it a place he had already visited?
Link didn't know, for everything looked the same here. The only difference would be the amount of sunlight filtering through the thick leaves of the canopy and above.
He then heard his red Clydesdale horse, Epona, snort. He had to smile, and pet her reassuringly. No words were needed.
It's alright; we'll find her. We'll find Navi, I'm sure.
The guardian fairy had left Link after he sealed Ganondorf in the distant future. Looking back, he found the battle pointless. Why fight something that was never going to happen anyway? It was idiotic.
He began tracing faint memories of his travels with Navi; she may have been a bit annoying at some points, but that annoying "Watch out!" occasionally saved his butt.
Link brushed aside some of the dirty blond hair sticking out of his floppy green cap. His physical attention turned to where the sky would be if the trees didn't exist, but his mental attention moved to other memories.
He remember when he left Hyrule. The place that would remain in peace because of his warning. His hand automatically moved to the brown leather bag he had. It reached inside, and ran a finger across the object.
The Ocarina of Time.
There were two songs he knew how to play; Epona's favorite song, and the Song of Time. He wasn't quite sure what to do with the latter, but Princess Zelda had taught it to him, giving him a reason to cherish the melody.
His absentminded traveling was suddenly interrupted by the sound of rustling leaves. He became alert, and his eyes darted left and right. His left hand slowly moved to the handle of the sword in his scabbard.
Moments passed, and nothing happened. Link gently kicked the heels of his boots on Epona's side, and she slowly moved forward.
It was subtle, but just barely out of time with the clopping of the horse's hooves came the sound of fluttering wings. A fairy's wings.
Link perked up, and he wildly began looking around. Could it be her? Could he really have found—
Epona suddenly jumped, neighing loudly. This took Link by surprise, and he fell off, hitting the ground painfully. His vision went slightly hazy and he couldn't really move, but he was definitely able to hear.
He heard voices, two boys and a girl.
"Heh! We got 'im good, didn't we, Tatl?" one of the males said, and a low chiming sound followed.
"Sure did, Tael!" the female one said, and a higher pitched chiming rang.
"Great work, you guys!" the last one said, sounding childishly mid-pitched. "Let's check for loot!"
Link felt his body kicked over, and thick, rugged hands began groping around in his bag. They soon retreated.
"Oooh! What a pretty flute!" the child's voice said eagerly, and experimental notes were heard. The child nearly cackled with delight.
Link got up, some of his strength returning. He shook his head, still a bit groggy from the fall. He looked at the people who'd caused it.
A dark purple fairy, a light yellow fairy, and a Skull Kid. They were the ones who did that to him? Link was a bit dumbfounded, but he stood up. The Skull Kid's back was to him, and the child was still playing with the Ocarina of Time.
The two fairies, panicking, chimed in perfect unison, and Skull Kid slowly turned around in realization.
He wore a strange purple mask that had glowing yellow eyes that seemed filled with bloodlust. The image seemingly shifted, but Link barely noticed.
The Skull Kid stowed the ocarina behind his back, trying to play it off. Link, angered, tried to grab him, but the imp simply leaped over him with a cackle.
He landed on Epona, and rode her into the dark tunnel from before. The fairies made teasing chimes at the young Hylian, and flew off with Skull Kid.
Link clenched his teeth. He had to get his horse and ocarina back. So he dashed into the tunnel after the thief.
It revealed a platform system he'd never seen before. It didn't occur how Skull Kid was able to get Epona to leap them, but it didn't matter. He jumped them with ease, and sprinted down the flat path.
He ran so fast, he didn't see the gigantic black pit before him. He slipped, and fell a long way down.
Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound, and he blacked out.
Didja like it?
