Twiphase: Please Enjoy Chapter 2. I do not owe Darkstalkers or Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Legend of Darkstalkers: Majora's Mask. Chapter 2: Eclipsis Woods: The Poison Water Curse.
John stood the clock tower once again to journey forth to once again retrieve the Majora's Mask from Skull Kid within 3 days time.
Tatl: ...the Eclipsis Woods , the Solis Mountains, the Lunam Ocean, and the Astrum Valley that Tael was trying to tell us about. I bet he was referring to the four areas just outside of town. There's one in each compass direction. But what do you suppose he meant by "the four who are there"?
John raised his shoulders up saying he has no clue and looked at her if she has the answer.
Tatl: I have no idea. He always skips important stuff. I guess we should just go and find out... If we go through that gate stragith ahead, we'll be heading in the direction of the Eclipsis Forest.
And so, he headed forward towards the gate but suddenly remembered he has to go and visit The Great Fairy of Magic and so he turned around and headed to North Clock Town. After reaching North Clock Town, John went into the dark tunnal to once again stumble upon a shrine filled with little yellow fairies. The yellow fairies, Deja Vu again, spun around into a blinding light to reveal The Great Fairy of Magic.
The Great Fairy of Magic: Oh Tatl, and you, king young one. Thank you for returning my brokenand shattered body to normal. I am the Great Fairy of Magic. For now, this is all i can offer you. Allow me to ease your weariness as my token of gratitude.
The great Fairy, Deja Vu again, waved her hands towards John as a ring of light bathe upon him and healed him of his injuries.
The Great Fairy of Magic: Oh, king young one! Scattered throughout the four temples of this land are broken Stray Fairies like me. please find a way to save them and return them to their fountains. Surely, they will add to your strength.
The Great Fairy of Magic than gave John a fairy mask so that he won't be able to scare the Stray fairies. When he got out of the dark tunnel, John decided to goof around a bit with his ocarina.
John playing the Ocarina of Time: 3-3-5-5-4-4. 3-3-5-5-4-4 (Song of Double Time)
In a flash of light, John was surrounded by clocks as they spun around him and then in a nexy flash of light, he stood in the exact same spot but this time it was night time.
Night of the 1st Day: 60 Hours Remain
John looked around amazed what would happen if you play the Song of Time in a different pattern. Just then, a robber look a bag from an old lady and ran like a coward. John managed to knock the bag out of the thief's hand as the thief still ran like a coward. After that, John simply returned the bag to the old lady.
Bomb Lady: Thank you. Since he didn't make off with them, I can finally stock Bomb Bags at out shop. Maybe I'll put 'em out tomorrow. yes, I must thank you. It's a dangerous mask, but maybe you could use it to throw your own festival fireworks show.
The Bomb Ladt then gave John the Blasy Mask.
Bomb Lady: Well, thanks for helping me. Take care...
after that, John then journeyed back to South Clock Town and took a wrong turn to the Laundry Pool. Hr then spotted a man playing a record player.
Music Guy: La-la-la... They said I was to loud when I was practiced in my room. They got mad. Sigh... Now I'm sad. I'll just think of the past to keep my mind off the bad. Ah yes I'll do that. Dear guest... Long ago, I was in an animal troupe, with dogs and donkeys and such. Why could a...? Why could a...? Why could a man join? ! ? That's 'cause a man is an animal, too, my boy!
John: (Make-no-sense nut job. Make-no-sense nut job. Make-no-sense nut job)
Music Guy: They were all great. But there was one thing I didn't like about it...
John was a little sewatdropped when he say the Music Guy's crazy-eye face.
Music Guy: Why was the...? Why was the...? why was the dog the leader? ! ? Was it 'cause something was wrong with me sir?
John: I don't know. Maybe?
Music Guy: Oh, that dog was an amazing leader! He always had a stellar troupe no matter what animals he had to work with... That's why I... That's why I... that's why I stole it... The dog's mask... I stole it. I wanted it because it was the leader's mask...
John: (Correction. Jealous-of-dog and mask-stealing nut job, Jealous-of-dog and mask-stealing nut job. Jealous-of-dog and mask-stealing nut job)
Music Guy: But I no longer need it... I give it to you my guest.
John then obtained the Bremen Mask from the Music Guy.
Music Guy: The leader was a good instructor. His members matured quickly and they became adults in an instant.
A few minutes later, John went to East Clock Town to do some more errands. First came where John manage to enter the Bombers Hideout with the secret code.
Bomber 1: Hey, guy! You haven't passed my test, so how do you know my secret code? Nobody but Bombers know that code! So why do you know it?
John is kinda doesn't know how to explain the fact that Bomber 1 did taught him the code before John used the Song of Time to save Clock Town from being squished by the moon falling from the sky. But he was speachless as a mime.
Bomber 1: Listen guy! You're pretty good! you managed to figure out a code that only we know! Now that's something! I like you! What's your name. guy?
John: John.
Bomber 1: John huh? All right... That Skull Kid broke our rules and is doing all kinds of stuff... I'm making John a new member of the Bombers instead. This is the Bomber's Notebook. It contains the words we live by! Read it over!
John obtained the Bombers Notebook from Bomber 1.
Bomber 1: 1. Find troubled people and add their names and pictures, Only 20 people will fit in your book. 2. Promise to help them. Mark promises with Promise Stickers. Never be late with fulfilling your promises. 3. Whenever you solve someone's problem, it makes you happy, so a Happy Sticker will be added to your book. 4. No removing stickers! Use Promise Stickers to keep track of people until everyone is happy. Don't forget the rules! Tatl, you tell that Skull Kid he's outta here! He's been actin' like a real jerk lately!
John and Tatl: Sir. Yes sir.
John and Tatl said while making a soldiers salute. After that, John did only 2 more errands before going to Eclipsis Forest. First was buying some Bomb bags. Thanks to the fact he saved alot of Rupees before he used the Sogn of Time. Then John went to this Swordsman School to practice defeating 30 dummy logs. Finally, John then went to the south gate to travel to the Eclipsis Forest. He walked until he stood infront of a Guard Soldier.
John: May I pass?
Guard Soldier: Go ahead! Just beyond this gate is the Eclipsis Woods. It's dangerous outside of town so becareful.
John: Thanks!
When John entered outside he noticed the fields are just like Hyrule but with a different scent though. On his was, he decided to play a song on his ocarina. He accidentally played something that's quite useful.
Day 3: 12 Hours Remain
John playing the Ocarins of Time: 4-5-3-4-5-3 4-5-3-4-5-3 (Song of Inverted Time).
John noticed that the big clock was going alot slower than usual. anyway, on his way to the Eclipsis Woods, he fell down a hidden hole within the grass and had to fight some weird looking plant monster that hovers. After the monster was defeated, a chest appeared in a speck of light. He opened it and found just a weird looking Item. It kinda looks abit blank yet it shares a resemblence with a horse. He climbed back up the hole and continued further on the path but got a little bit lost due to the fact that it has a three way fork. John guessed randomly and went on the far right path and stumbled upon Romani Ranch were John had to help the cucco-loving Gorg lead the chicks into roosters to earn a Bunny Hood, and then since he noticed its almost sunset of the third day, he played the Song of Time to go back to the first day.
John playing the Ocarina of Time: 3-5-4-3-5-4 3-5-4-3-5-4 (Somg of Time)
Day 1: 72 Hours Remaining
John, Deja Vu again, stood infront of the clock tower, and headed towards south to the Eclipsis Woods.
John playing the Ocarina of Time: 4-5-3-4-5-3 4-5-3-4-5-3 (Inverted Song of Time)
As John continued down south pass the hollow log he went under, he noticed an oak tree with a drawing of skull Kid with Tatl and Tael. Tatl walked up to the drawing as she went down memory lane.
Tatl: Oh! I remember this! Tael and I drew this with the Skull Kid when we first met him... He told us that he had been fighting with his friends and that they had left him all alone...
Flashback: The day Tatl and Tael met Skull Kid
It was raining, Tatl and Tael were getting a bit too wet so they quickly went inside the hollow log for shelter. They then saw a tree boy, wearing leaf-like clothing and a red hat ontop of his head, shivering from the cold wet rain. All of them then huddled together for warmth. Ever since that they, they were having fun as Skull Kid did a summer salt, played his grassy flute, and played side-and-seek or was it peek a boo when Skull Kid jumped out from the grass to surprise Tael. They together made a drawing of themselves on a really old oak tree.
Tatl: I'm sure it was because he was always playing tricks, so nobody wanted to play with him. But to do what he did just because of that...
Another scene revealed within the flashback to show how Skull Kid obtained Majora's Mask from the unconscious Happy Mask Seller.
Tatl: And once he got his power...
End of Flash Back
John, again, continued down the path that'll lead to the Eclipsis Woods. Along the way, he noticed that some spots happen to have honey daisy platforms. As he reached the eclipsis Woods, he stumbled upon a river dock which has a honey daisy platform with a Business Geruntian laying inside. He went near to the water and all of a sudden he didn't feel well as his body went numb. The water is poisoned. Lucky for him, he was saved by a bunch of honey bees that took him to a clean pond.
When John awoke, he saw three honey bees. The three honey bees are asking John for help because the forest is slowly being filled with poison. The three monkeys's brother suspected it was coming from on top of the waterfall where the Forest Temple was. The three monkey's brother and the Virides princess went to the temple to investigate but a monster came and kidnapped the princess. Their brother couldn't enter the temple because it was for Virides Geruntians only to enter. After that, the three honey bees's brother was captured by the Virides Guards and now their brother is at the Virides Royal Palace and he is gonna be burn't alive.
John manage to get on the cruise to the palace while also obtaining a free camera for taking pictures. It was a surprising cruise due the fact that the boat manage to knock down a squid that was guarding the passage to the palace entrance. Once John got off the boat, he followed one of the monkeys to the guarded entrance. the outer palace walls is surrounded by a moat and the doorlesss entrance is guarded by two Virides Guards. John crossed the moat by walking on three log pads that were floating over the poisoned water. When he tried to get in, his path was blocked by the royal guards.
Virides Guards: This is no place for outsiders. Go home.
John: (Well that was definitely rude)
John then went back outside to where the boat was. John then thought if they can't let him in as a human, they might let him if he was a Virides Geruntian. And so, John put on the Bear Mask and the transformation has begun. First, a black web-like exoskeleton sprouted from the mask to cover the entire body to create the humanoid bear figure while sprouting what appears to be rings around the neck, the wrists, the hip, and the ankles. Then, the rings started to sprout some kind of substance that covered the body to overlay the exoskeleton like a second skin while the rings themselves become pieces of clothing such as the knuckle gloves, the armored battle jacket, the baggy pants with the Green Eclipse emblemed black belt, and the gorgerin. Finally, green and white fur began to sprout upon the second skin the rings sprouted previously as a tail sprouted from the end of the spine as the green fur started to reveal a white underbelly.
Once the transformation was complete, what stood instead of John was Bear John. Bear john then went back to the entrance to the Virides Royal Palace.
Virides Guard: This is the palace of the Virides Kingdom. Only those on official business may enter! ...But you may enter to see the public humiliation of the foolish honey bee who angered our king. You may pass. Follow this hall straight to the Royal Chamber. Do not enter any other areas whatsoever!
Bear John: Thanks.
As Bear John passed the palace gates and headed straight to the Royal Chamber, he got curious and see what were in the Inner Palace Gardens on the left. He so far found nothing at a dead end.
Virides Garden Patrolman: Aha! An intruder!
And so, bear John was tossed out right infront of the entrance and quickly headed to the Virides Guards.
Virides Guard: I told you not to enter any areas other than the Royal Chamber! ...It is a very rare occasion that you are allowed to enter, so do as i say.
Bear John, once again after entering the palace, grew curious and went to the Inner Palace Garden on the right as he stumbled on a hole that lead him to a guy that sells beans.
Bean Seller: Well...chomp, chomp... Your the first customer i've had in a loooooong time! Do you need some Magic Beans? They sprout leaves as soon as you water them. That they do, they do. Mmm, I'll give you one free sample, so try planting it in some soft soil. You can always buy more.
The Bean Seller then gave Bear John some Magic Beans. Bear john then went to near by water to store some of it in a bottle right before he planted the Magic Beans in the soil. After watering the planted beans, as the Bean Seller told Bear John, it sprouted leaves like a flower. Bear John hopped onto it as it surprisingly sprouted higher towards the ceiling. Bear john then noticed a chest right on the high ledge. As he opened the chest, he only found just some armbands. Bear John then got out of the hole and explored more of the garden by using the honey daisy platforms to reach higher until he stumbled upon a fun way secret passage way to the Royl Chambers.
When Bear John reached the Royal Chambers without being noticed by the Virides King or the Virides Butler, he stumbled upon a honey bee being tied up to a pole sticking out of a pile of twigs and branches.
Honey Bee: They keep saying that i kidnapped her. No matter how many times thay say it. It's not gonna bring the princess back! If they're not careful, the princess will fall victime to a monster! why won't they believe what I say? ...Fine! I get it! Then I shall say nothing more to you! Punish me or do whatever else you might!
Bear John: (Yah think? How can the Virides Geruntians in Termina be this clueless more than the ones from Hyrule?)
Bear John then walked closer to the tied up Honey Bee.
Honey Bee: I have nothing else to say to you Virides Geruntians! Do as you will!
Bear John then showed his Pipes of Awakening.
Honey Bee: Oh! You have them! You do! Just like the princess... Virides Pipes! Those will work great! By the way... who are you?
Bear John just layed on the floor by what the Honey Bee just asked him. The Virides King then turned to the pole and noticed Bear John.
Honey Bee: ...Whoa! That's not important now... Just listen to me! I was trying to find out about the poison in the forest, so I went to the Forest Temple above the waterfall. But the temple had become a monster's lair, and the princess was captured by the monster... Since the Virides King thinks I kidnapped the princess, he won't listen to a word I say. Now the princess is in trouble, so I must somehow hurry to the temple and save her! Do you understande my plight?
Bear John simply nodded saying yes.
Honey Bee: So then, that means... You will go in my place and save the princess!
Bear John agreeded to the Honey Bee of saving the princess from the monster within the Forest Temple.
Honey Bee: OK, now I'll teach you the melody that opens the temple. The princess taught to me! We can't let them hear us, so I'll sing it softly...
Honey Bee singing: 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 (sonata of Awakening)
Bear John playing the Virides Pipes of Awakening: 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 (Sonata of Awakening)
Everyone else within th Royal Chamber stared in awe as Bear John played the Sonata of Awakening while the Virides gave a grim look as if though he as seen a ghost.
Virides King: Everyone, did you hear that? This melody, which only the Virides Royal Family knows... It proves the foolish honey bee deceived the princess so he could enter the temple!
Bear John: (Are you kidding me! ? !)
Virides King: Everyone! Let the honey bee's punishment commence!
Some Virides Guards then knocked Bear John out before they drag him away.
Honey Bee: You'd better take the shortcut the Virides people use to get to Forest Temple. But you must hurry! If you don't I will be punished by the Virides King.
Bear john found himself thrown out of the enterance. He took Honey Bee's words and headed to the shortcut. First he hopped through the water towards a honey daisy platform right next to a sigh that says 'shortcut'. He dived into the platform and popped right out just to hover to the shortcut that was actually a dark tunnel. Bear John went down the tunnel and found himself standing on top of a huge tree with a honey daisy platform right next to other huge trees with honey daisy platforms. he hoovered tree to tree from each honey daisy platformed he popped out of while riding on a nector pollen until he reached the next to the waterfall appear to be some kind of owl standing on a huge stone.
Owl: Ho-ho-ho-ho-hoot! This is a rare sight. You are a fairy child, correct?
Bear John: Correct.
Owl: What business do you have in the poisoned forest?
Bear John then explained that he is going to the Forest Temple to defeat the monster, save the princess, and lift the poison water curse.
Owl: If you dare not venture further, I shall pass no judgement. It is better that you hurry back to town. This forest you are in has lost its guardian deity. But it was destined to fade away. Hoo-hoot... And that destiny is not solely limited to this forest... If you have the courage and determination to proceed in the face of destiny, then I shall teach you something useful. Before coming here, had you not seen any of the stone statues that bear close resemblence to me?
Bear John simply nodded saying yes.
Owl: I have placed them throughout the land to aid the one with the power to change the destiny of this land... Wherever he may appear.
Bear John: (This owl is clueless isn't he?)
Owl: If you had left proof of our encounter on any of those stone statues... Then the song carved at my feet will certainly be of some assistance... Remember it well and play it wherever the need arises. From the first time you play this song, we shall become eternal friends, transcending time and space!
The Owl then just simply faded away as if though it was never here. Bear john then looked at the stone and saw the song.
Bear John reading the engravings: 4-2-1-4-2-1 4-2-1 4-2-1 (Song of Soaring)
Bear John playing the Virides Pipes of Awakening: 4-2-1-4-2-1 4-2-1-4-2-1 (Sogn of Soaring)
After that, one of the masks became to glow and revealed to be the face of the exact owl Bear John just met. Any who, Bear John then went to the honey daisy platform, which was right next to the stone, and hovered to another cliff with a doorway that leads down to a dark tunnel. He stumbled upon Woodfall, the resting place of the Forest Temple. Getting up to the entrance wasn't easy. First, Bear John had to hop over the poison water to a tree stump connected to two other tree stumps through log bridges. Then, he had to walk all the wy up while defeating stampeding beetles while using a honey daisy platform to hoover to another honey daisy platform which is busy with a Mad Wasp. Finally, more walking upwards until he stumbeled upon a Virides shrine with a emblemed platform.
Tatl: Isn't this a Virides Geruntian mark? I wonder if they worshiped here...
Bear John then stood upon the platform and started to play the pipes.
Bear John playing the Virides Pipes pf Awakening: 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 1-2-1-2-5-3-5 (Sonata of Awakening)
After the song was played, the two trees in the center of the lake began to erupr from the waters to reveal to actually be the Forest Temple. Bear John then used the honey daisy platform to ride on a nector pollen and landed safely infront of the temple entrance.
Forest Temple: Day 1: 64 Hours Remain
Bear John entered the temple and found in front of him the 1st Red Stray Fairy. Then Bear John simply dive in and pop out of the honey daisy platforms as he found the 2nd Red Stray Fairy. come to think of it, it appear that the first room of the temple was like a training room for the next rooms within this temple-like dungeon. Bear John entered the 2nd room and there was a really bad smell.
Tatl: Ugh! That stench! This place stinks just like that poison swamp!
Bear john then wondered throughout the temple floors. First he had to battle some spike turtles who were guarding a chest which contained the Dungeon Map. Then came where he obtained the Compass after finding it within a chest that was guarded by alot of Mad Wasps. After that he found a spiral staircase which lead him upstais on the 3rd floor. The room was a bit darker than the previous rooms.
Tatl: Be careful... I sense alot of evil here.
Bear John simply walked down a hallway filled with creepy black puss with yellow eyes. After that, he found a Hero's Bow within a chest that was guarded by a just defeated mini boss. Then came the part where Bear John faced a monster frog riding on a spiked turtle and manage to defeat as it turned back into a normal frog which then opened the door which leads to the room where you will find a chest with the Boss Key inside. Then Bear John went back to the main room and then lit a torch at the center of the room which revealed to be undoing the poison water in the temple. He then managed to collect all of the Red Stray Fairies right before he entered the final room and face the Masked Jungle Warrior Odolwa. During battle, Odolwa appear to be singing a jungle cry. after dealing some damage, Odolwa made a different cry and summoned a bunch of wasps and also creating a arena of fire. After defeating Odolwa, Odolwa fell onto the floor as it fade away while leaving one thing remaining, his mask, Odolwa's Remains. A ring of light appeared as Bear John stepped into the ring of light. John found himself standing ontop of a pillar while his Virides Geruntian self stands behind him. He and the spirit of the Bear Mask noticed something was ahead of him.
Tatl: What's that?
John, Tatl, and the spirit of the Bear Mask looked in awe and found a giant singing.
Tatl: Wait... Listen... It seems to be saying something... Could that crying be its way of teaching us some sort of melody? Don't just stand there... Get your instrument...
John took out his ocarina as Tatl shall show him the notes of the song.
Tatl dancing to the Giant's song: 3-4-5-4-3-1 3-4-5-4-3-1 (Oath to Order)
John playing the Ocarina of Time: 3-4-5-4-3-1 3-4-5-4-3-1 (Oath to Order)
John played the song as the giant sang it together in a beautiful harmony. The giant then said something in a ancient language only Tatl can understand.
Tatl: "Call us." ...That's what it's saying.
The Forest's water began the become clear again as the poison water curse left without a trace. The temple then became higher as it revealed another entrance with a bridge that connects to the exit of the Woodfall. John then found himself infront of a tree covered in vines.
Tatl: The four people Tael talked about... Do you think he was talking about the spirit that was sealed inside that mask? ...Oh! Hey, you were pretty good out there! Hoave you done this before or what?
John simply replied saying this wasn't his first time in a temple-like dungeon and he has done it countless times.
Tatl: Now, just keep up the pace and save th other three!
Tatl then walked to infront of John.
Tatl: Hey! Um...
John just got one of those imaginary question marks on top of his head.
Tatl: All that stuff I did to you... ..your horse... I...I apologize. ...Sorry. There! I apologize! So don't hold it against me, got it?
John simply did a solute saying 'yes ma'm'. In the meantime, they appear that they forgotten something.
Tatl: Now then, we've helped the princess just like the honey bee asked... So now our next stop is in the mountains! Let's hurry and do something about that Skull Kid.
John: Ah Tatl, I believe we are forgotten something. Like where is the princess?
John nthen heard some nocie behind him and noticed someone is behind the vines on the tree. John then managed to cut down the vines with his sword to reveal the princess. She kinda looks like a bear hanyou with a really long hair tied in a cute medeval braid. She appear to wear a green kimono with autumn leaves decorated at the edges..
Virides Princess: wha? ...Who are you?
John: I'm John and this is Tatl the fairy.
Virides Princess: John? Pleased to meet you. I am the Virides Princess. Were you, by chance, asked by a honey bee to come save me?
John: Bingo!
Virides Princess: Aha! Just as I suspected! You see, your body smells a little bit like honey bee.
John: Well the good news is that your honey bee friend made it safe back.
Virides Princess: So... the honey bee made it back fine after all. That's good. I was worried that when I didn't come home, my father would think that honey bee had kidnapped me! I was worried that my father would even go far as to punish the poor honey bee. Hoo-hoo-hoo.
The Virides Princess then froze and looked at John with a grim yet slowly irritated face.
Virides Princess: ... Don't tell me... Are you serious? ! ?
John: Yes, your father is pretty much gonna burn that honey bee alive. Alive I tell you! ALIVE!
Virides Princess: Is father actually doing that? ! ? Yet another hasty decision, father!
The Virides Princess then twitch with irritatin and rage as she had fists up and down right before she through a panicking tantrum.
Virides Princess: W-Well, we haven't any time to lose... Quickly, Mr. John, could you please carry me in so you can take me to the Virides Royal Palace?
And so, John manage to put the princess within a bottle.
Virides Princess inside the bottle: Ungh! Mr. John! There's nuh-no time to lose! Huh-Hurry! Take me to the palace!
As quickly as John, who along the way transformed into Bear john, could, they manage to reach the palace. Along the way, Bear john made a quick stop to a Fairy Fountian to restore the Red Great Fairy. At the moment John reached the fountain, the fairies he collected merged with the other stray fairies as they become a flash of red light to reveal a red-haired look-a-like.
Great Fairy of Power: Oh, strong young one! I am the Great Fairy of Power! Thank you for returning my broken and shattered body to normal. As thanks, I grant you prowess with this new sword technique.
The Great Fairy of Power simply waved her hands at John as John was bathed in red light. John then learned how to do a Spin Attack.
Great Fairy of Power: Come see me again whenever you are overcome by weariness.
The Great Fairy then vanished in a spark of redlight as John exited out of the dark tunnel. As they reach the Royal Chambers, first Bear john undid the transformation to reveal himself as John while releasing the princess from the bottle.
Virides King: Oh my princess! My darling princess! ! You are all right? I was so worried.
Virides Princess then showed an expression of unholy rage.
Virides Princess: H-Hufff-huhhh! Foolish father! ! !
The princess then kicked the king right in the face as she jumped up and down on the king like a trampoline. The servants just awe in complete shock.
Virides Princess: Father you dolt! ! ! Your jumping to conclusions has caused everyone a nuisance again! I saw everything from the bottle!
The servants just stare and stare until the princess made a very fast look at them.
Virides Princess: WHAT are you doing? ! ? Let that honey bee go this instant! ! !
The servants untied the honey bee and present the honey bee infront of the princess.
Virides Princess: Oh, Mr. Honeybee, I am truly sorry. Father does such rash things when he's worried about me.
Honey Bee: I understand, Princess. Forget about that. Has the temple been returned to normal?
Virides Princess: Why yes, thanks to Mr. John here. I am very, truly thankful.
Honey Bee: Really? So you're called John, are you?
John: Yes that's right.
Honey Bee: Thank you for keeping your promise to me.
Virides Princess: Now perhaps my father will reflect and be a good king from now on! And, if possible, I'd very much like it if you'd stay a this castle.
John: (That's a bit...)
Virides Princess: Oh, I know, you can't. Well, at least... Could you put that mask on one more time?
As so, John put on the Bear Mask as ,once again, the exoskeleton sprouted followed by the rings, then the covering the entire body part along with the clothing, the fur and the puffy tail to reveal Bear John.
Bear John: ?
The Virides princess just showed a hint of tears in her eyes as she said only a few words before she left the scene.
Virides Princess: F-Farewell!
Bear John: Virides Princess!
Bear John then took off the Bear Mask to revert back to John as he wondered what was going on. Yet the odd thing is, before Bear John took off the mask, he could have sworn he felt his face a bit blush with a hint of tears as well.
Virides Butler: When you wear that mask, you are the splitting image of my deceased son.
John: (DECEASED! ? !)
Well anyway, as a symbol of the princess's grattitude, the butler gave John the Mask of Scents after following him through a very long path within a shrine that was on the left outside of the palace walls. The butler didn't mean to outrun but he is a fast competitor kinda like when he raced with his son. After that, John left the Eclipsis Forest and headed to the Solis Mountians.
Twiphase: End of chapter. Chapter 3 will be update eventually. Please Review.
