Thanks so much for the wonderful reviewers! Reviews make me so happy! :D thank you so much to mysticalgems, henslight, mirria1, and LeahGirlyGurl! TYTYTY! I hope you enjoy this next chapter! By the way, I'm writing this story from Link's POV. There's gonna be a little surprise in this chapter, so watch out! :3 I was planning to get this out sooner, but I had to go to a bonfire and ate smores :D now I smell like fire.
As I got accustomed to the sudden light, I was awed.
"W-wow! This place is HUGE!" I said, looking around with my mouth dropping. We were in a circular room with a mysterious aura.. It looked small, but compared to other rooms, this was huge (like I said earlier)! There were rows of spell books and tons of scientific glass bottles containing different color liquids, pastes, powder, goo, and other things I don't even know! There's also a black pot (which was big enough to fit a person in there without squishing them in). There was a wooden table at the left side of the room with a bunch of paperwork. The middle of the room was clear so It was pretty spacious.
"I've been waiting weeks to show you." Vaati said, dusting off his purple clothes.
"Oh really? Why?" I asked. I walked up to a cylinder glass bottle. It contained some sort of golden powder. "What's this?"
"Ah, please don't poke around too much, some things can change your form." Vaati replied. He took hold of the bottle by the top and spun it around. I then saw a label that said 'Gender Bender Powder.' I shivered, imagining the thought of becoming a girl.
"Okay…" I muttered. Still, that didn't keep me wondering about all the other things he has.
"Now for that spell…" Vaati continued.
"Speaking of spells, I know how to reflect any kind of magic!" I said cheerfully. Vaati rolled his eyes and looked around, looking for something.
"Now where did I put it?" Vaati mumbled. He looked around and made his way to the wooden table. He started filing through the papers, mumbling words I couldn't understand. "Crap… right when I need it, I can't find it—I FOUND IT!" Vaati shouted, holding up a worn out parchment in his hands. "Okay Link, I need you to stand here." Vaati pointed to the center of the room. I obeyed and slowly made my way towards it.
"Okay, now what?" I said, firmly planting my feet to the stone ground.
"Just relax, I'm not gonna hurt you. Stay put." He walked over to a shelf, scanning for what he was looking for. He then grabbed a bottle and walked over to me. For some reason, my heart is pounding. Ugh, it's starting to get hot in here... He stopped about two feet away from me and looked at the old, wrinkled parchment. A few seconds later he threw it to the side. "I am going to begin now, please be still." Vaati said, looking at me in a serious way. I nodded.
"Okay, I'm all ears." I said.
"Oh, did I say I want to show it to you? My mistake, I want to cast it on you. Please be a good participant, Link." Vaati said, smirking. I swear my heart skipped a beat, for when I saw the bottle's label it said 'Gender Bender Bottle.' Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, he's gonna turn me to a girl, oh crap oh crap—
"You-you're going to turn me to a g-girl?" I asked him, yelling out the last word.
"My Linkie, don't jump to conclusions so easily." Vaati said, popping open the bottle. My mind turned to a panic when the jar made a small 'pop.' He looked at me through half lidded crimson eyes. Ah, those eyes, red like the deep flames of fire. He closed his eyes and inhaled.
"Frun bun stonkuppel vceska nuchtioonk, qroltinhu nunkchun pushesgu junkpuppe cuktuket bichernuy dumpeltitl kapish ununyuchuk eton bi nehn uken…" Vaati chanted. I don't know what the freak that even means. His eyes snapped open, and when he did that, a green circle appeared beneath us and blasts of wind roared out of it, sending my cap and Vaati's cap flying out in opposite directions. Loose papers flew all around us and Vaati's hair was being lifted in many different sides making his hair reflect off some green light. But overall, he looked perfect. I think I might be falling for him… I was a little panicked by my surroundings, so I slowly started walking backwards out of the circle.
"I-I don't want to—"
"Link, don't leave. Stay here a little while longer. Please." He said, his voice more serious and sexier. What the hell am I thinking? Vaati reached out a hand motioning to me. I looked at it and looked back at him. His eyes had a different look than I used to see him with. This time his eyes showed a look of 'trust me.' I hesitantly took his hand, putting it over his. The circle turned to a dark pink and new gusts of wind suddenly burst out, almost lifting me off my feet. Oh, but Vaati pulled me into an embracing hug. I gasped at the sudden move he made. Oh god, he's hugging me, he's hugging me, he's hugging me, he's— "Redg ykfou goaew domyan, fqrmon coutu weevbuy muin DAH!" Vaati concluded. The wind stopped blowing, the circle faded back to the stone floor, and Vaati let go of me. I felt really embarrassed right now, so I decided stepping a few feet away from him. Vaati stuck his hand in the bottle and grabbed a handful of powder. He then flung the powder at me like he was trying to get rid of me. It made a thin coat of gold cover my clothes. I think some got in my mouth, so I dared tasting it. GAH! It's so bitter!
"W-what the? Vaati, that stuff went in my mouth!" I said, trying to spit it out. A few seconds passed and the gold dust turned into a bright light sinking into my clothes. "Hey!" The bright lighted turned pink. Why pink? Well, I don't know, maybe it's because it's a freaking gender bender powder. It started consuming my whole body, but right when it started crawling up my face, I screamed by instinct, "REPENTOUS!" Vaati's ears perked up. The light drained out of me and it then transferred onto Vaati himself. I watched in awe as the light covered Vaati's form, Vaati was screaming at the top of his lungs.
"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" he yelled, waving his arms around. A sudden flash of white light had blinded me.
"Augh!" I yelled. I heard Vaati's voice cease. It took me about 10 full seconds to get accustomed to the room's dimness. There on the ground in front of me, lay a girl that looks just like Vaati. She was rubbing her eyes in a cat-like manner. She even had that mark under her eye just like Vaati's mark! She slowly opened her eyes. I saw they were as crimson as Vaati's. Is she like, what, a super mega cosplayer of him? I gulped and spoke. "Umm, hello there miss! What are you doing here? Do you know Vaati?" She looked at me, putting her arms down.
"Do you have short term memory loss or something? I am Vaati!" she yelled, holding up a fist. She clasped her mouth with both hands. "W-what the f—"
"Vaati?" I said, practically yelling out my lungs.
