AN: I've got nothing to say…XD
Disclaimer: No. I only own any changes to the plot.
Chapter 4
"No, seriously. You are the messenger. The Messenger of the Sages…" Volvagia trailed off as he ermm…she noticed that I wasn't really paying attention. I was currently trying to figure out Ganondorf wanted to get me, out of all people. Shit, it's boiling in here.
Volvagia blinked and said, "Well, if you're hot…get out of here before you roast to death." Hrmm….
I looked around the room, ignoring the annoying dragon-that-was-supposed-to-kill-me. I looked up at a hookshot target, raised an eyebrow, blinked and looked at the target again. What the hell? That wasn't there in the game. Too bad I didn't have the hookshot…stupid Link, taking my friggin' weapons. I am so getting an actual sword when I get out of this hellhole.
"I'm afraid the only way out of this 'hellhole' is through the portal to the Chamber of Sages. I groaned and rolled my eyes, there was no way in hell I was going to be caught up in all of this destiny crap. But, I stepped into the portal anyway, knowing that it was my only way out. Shit man, my back hurts…
I need Tylenol. No, really…I do.
"Welcome, Messenger of the Sages!" Darunia oh so cheerfully boomed out. Oh, he just had to say that didn't he?
"My name is Darunia and we have got off on a bad foot…" Pfft, bad foot my ass.
"I am the Sage of Fire!" Thanks tips.
"Link has already gone off to free Ruto from the water temple!" Okay…and I care because…?
"You should go with him!" My eye twitched at his obvious sarcasm.
"Let me help you!" No.
"I grant you the power of Fire!" I don't know if that's such a good thing…
"Use it wisely and aid Link in his quest to defeat evil!" Ugh…
"That is all! Good day, Melissa!" Who ever says 'good day' anymore?
Everything suddenly blanked out…
---
"Melissa! Are you all right?" Link's voice. Argh, I thought he went off to the water temple all ready…
"Melissa! Answer me!" Go and beat the stupid temple…
"MELISSA!" Ouch! Don't scream in my ear!!!! Oh wait- he can't hear me…sucker.
"Ow…what was that for?" I mumbled. I slowly opened my tightly shuteyes to look at Link. He had a relieved expression on his face. Ugh…
"Thank the Goddesses you're all right! I need you to help me beat Morpha! I don't know if I can do it on my own…" Ha…weakling. Just wait until you try to battle Bongo Bongo. I'm not going in that battle…
"Uh, Link. There's a problem." I started quietly. Link didn't say anything, so I took that as my cue to continue. "I can't swim…" I lied. I didn't want to go in the water temple…it was too…water! I hated water!
Link frowned for a second before smiling again. The smile of his made goosebumps pop out of my skin. Stupid hormones…
Link must have noticed for he smirked just a little bit. Damn him.
"It's all right, Melissa! I got a water tunic for you!" No.
"I also got you a suitable sword and shield, since it wasn't fair last time that I didn't let you kill anything…" At least that's good.
"But Liiink," I whined "I'm…tiiiirred!" Heh, chew on that.
The Hero of Time sighed before answering, "Fine. I'll go get Epona and we'll leave tomorrow morning" I watched as Link walked away and smirked a bit to myself.
Stupid boy…I'll be gone long before then. I started to walk towards Gerudo Valley. Apparently, Link could handle the Water Temple by himself. I had no intention on helping him through the Shadow Temple…
It was nighttime by the time I reached the valley. I actually was jogging for most of the way. When I walked across the log, I could only swear repeatedly at my utter stupidity. The bridge was broken and there was no way across…
Ugh, I hate this!
"Hey! Over there!" A female voice called. I looked up from the ground and I looked at the Gerudo guard who had apparently called me.
"Yeah?" I called back, what did she want? A panic welled up inside of me, was she going to report me to Ganondorf?
"You seem like you're very…skilled! Would you mind coming over here! I have a deal to make with you!" I squinted my eyes to see who it was. It was Nabroou, the Spirit Sage. Whew, at least I knew it wasn't a trap…
"Uhm…how do I get across?" I asked Nabroou from across the valley.
"Use this!" She held something in her hand and threw it high in the air. It landed right in front of my feet and I jumped slightly. I cautiously picked up the object and examined it. The object looked like the hotshot but- holy crap! It was the clawshot! Awesome! I grinned, seeing as I got a better version of the hookshot than Link. Muwhahahaha….
"All right!" I called, "I'm comin' over!" I held out the clawshot and held down a button underneath. The claw turned around once and then opened up. I aimed slowly at the hookshot target, hopefully I could reach…
I took a deep breath as I let go of the button. The claw went soaring towards the target, grabbed it and then reversed its gears and started pulling me towards the target…and fast! I had to put out my feet to avoid me face planting the target.
Crunch! I winced, that didn't sound good. I felt my vision go all fuzzy again and I remembered letting go of the Clawshot and falling towards the ground before everything went black…
---
Link arrived back at the 'camp' with Epona. He couldn't believe his eyes, she wasn't there! The sages would…would murder him if they ever thought of him losing her! Oh, crap…how was he going to explain this? He started galloping towards Kakariko Village to ask if anyone has seen a certain teenage girl…
---
Ouch…my ankle. Wait- my ankle? My eyes snapped open, and I slowly scanned the room. It looked like I was in some kind of…hospital? Ugh…what happened? The door made a squeaking sound as it slowly creeped open. I glared at the person who entered. Nabooru, the person who started this mess in the first place…
"Melissa, hello again. These are dark times, yes?" I just continued to glare at her, but she didn't seem to take the hint. "Ah, yes. Very dark times…" I continued to glare at her, was she…talking to herself? Nabroou looked at me and said seriously, "Why did you leave the hero?" Okay man, now I was freaked out. Not only did she somehow get into my world, but she also knew that I ditched Link…
"It was pretty obvious that you 'ditched him' seeing as he wasn't there with you. You'd better go back, you're wounds have healed" I moaned, I didn't want to hang around with the hero…
Before I knew it, I was knocked unconscious and the last words I heard were, "Be careful…" Bah!
Thump. Ouch…
I flickered my eyes open, only to groan in frustration. I was in the middle of Hyrule Field. That wouldn't have been so bad, but Stalfos surrounded me. One of them spoke in a raspy voice, "By the orders of King Ganondorf, you shall come with us. If you resist, you die." I stared at the Stalfos expressionlessly. I started to smirk when I pulled out Din's Fire. Hah! I stole that from Link a while ago. I held the relic in my hand as I did the actions for Din's Fire. There was a tremendous heat build up and the heat expanded outwards.
I looked up to survey my handiwork. I frowned when they weren't affected. Damn…where the hell is Link when you need him?
"Leave her alone!" Oh, there he is. How convenient…
Link leaped off Epona and started to engage the Stalfos in combat. Wow, he's a good fighter…
Aw, to hell with fighting! I am so out of here! I turned around to run but I was suddenly jumped by another Stalfos. It laughed cruelly at me as it threw my sword across the ground. Stupid Link didn't even give me my new sword yet…
I just glared at the Stalfos as it raised it's sword- probably to finish me off. It stopped in mid-air though, as if my glare scared it. Pah! My crappy glares couldn't scare a fly…
I heard a yell as another Stalfos was defeated by the Show-Off Hero. Oh man…
Link charged at the last remaining Stalfos, while it was still frozen in position. I stopped glaring at it and daringly poked it. It didn't move. Sweet, I can freeze stuff! I'm like a…a…redead!
…Ugh, that doesn't really sound all that good. I held up a hand for Link to stop, and he barely stopped in time before ramming my hand and most likely breaking it.
"Link," I started, "Back off. I want to kill this one" I paused before continuing, "Give me your bow for a second" He actually did, sweet! I ran backwards a few steps, and took an arrow out of the quiver. I set it on the bow and took aim at the head of the Stalfos just as it started to shake out of…whatever state it was in. I bit my lip as I let go of the string. Luckily, the arrow flew straight and nailed the monster in between the eyes. It gave an inhuman screech as it crumbled into dust…cool.
I turned around; only to see Link's rather frustrated face as he glared at me. Oh shit, here comes another lecture…
"Melissa…why did you…leave me like that?"
I shrugged before answering, "I don't know" I got up right in his face, and I couldn't help noticed that he turned a shade darker. I did the action as a threat however, "Maybe it's because I don't like you very much!" I said the last part with scorn. Link seemed hurt; I think I actually hit a nerve there. Hopefully that won't piss him off…
Link, however, just took a deep breath and changed the topic. Wow, can you say random? "Melissa…sit down and let me tell you a story." I sat down on the grass. I actually decided to listen. Yay.
"Let me tell you the ancient legend that has been passed down for generations. The legend of the Triforce and the Goddesses" Ugh, not this. The same legend was said at least three times in the game…why here? Why now?
The Hero of Time took a deep breath before starting the story, "Before time began, before spirits and life existed, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule." He paused to let this soak in, "Din, the goddess of power..." Pause. "Nayru, the goddess of wisdom..." Pause. "Farore, the goddess of courage..." Stop with the pauses already! Link continued, "Din. With her strong flaming arms, she cultivated the land and created the red earth" He took breath before resuming the tale, " Nayru. She poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world" Another deep breathe. "Farore. With her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law" Link smiled slightly as he finished up the story, "The three great goddesses, their labors completed, departed for the heavens. And golden sacred triangles remained at the point where the goddesses left the world"
Ugh…I can't believe I stayed awake for that. Wait a second- did he just quote the Deku Tree? I stared at him for a second. He did! Man, what a freak…
'Now do you understand, Melissa?' I jumped. What the hell was that? Those aren't my thoughts…I don't speak in third person.
'Melissa. Calm down. It's just me, Farore.' Bah. Whaddya want?
'Melissa…time has grown short…' Hmm…maybe 'time' should take steroids or something…
'We need you to defeat the Shadow temple by yourself while Link tackles the Spirit Temple' I froze in sudden fear, what the fuck did she just say?
'You heard me, Melissa. If you like it or not, you're doing the Shadow Temple alone.'
AN: …Not really a cliffhanger. Sorry for the randomness in this chapter (Nabooru…ect) but…I've got no excuses…XD
Ugh, I hate the shadow temple…
Melissa apparently does too…XD
I'm modeling her personality after mine so…you'll see many similarities between her and me…
Wait- I said that already…didn't I:D
The updates will be much slower from now on. I will be alternating updates with this story, Skirmish and F.F.F. And not in any order. I just wanted to get this story started…
Anyway, read and review!
