Chapter Six
Huh? What just happened? Where am I?
Water... I can hear water...
Agh... my head hurts...
Wait... where are Ilia and Colin? Where's Epona? I have to find them!
What the? What is this? What's with all the weird markings?
Ah! What's that?
Let go of me! What is this thing? What's happening?
It hurts... what's going on?
F... fur... strange...
p style="text-align: center;" - - -
Agh... my head... what happened...
What the?! What's happened to me? Why am I covered in fur? Paws... chain... claws...
I... I became a wolf? And why am I in a dungeon cell?
What's going on here? Why am I a wolf? Why am I chained up? What's going on here?
Maybe, if I try biting through the chain...
Someone's here...
What... or who... is that?
Oh this is bad, this is bad, why are they grinning at me, this is bad.
How? How'd they get through the cage? This is so weird...
"I found you!"
Well, I guess this is a 'she', huh? Why does her voice echo? And why does it sound so weird? And why don't I trust her?
"Oooh! Aren't you scary!"
Get. Away. From. Me.
"Eee hee! Are you sure you want to be doing that? Snarling and glaring at me?"
Yes, I'm quite sure. Now get away from me.
"Well, that's too bad... I was planning on helping you... if you were nice."
Hmm... maybe I should see what she means...
"Eee hee! That's much better! You humans are obedient to a fault, aren't you?"
Whatever. Just tell me what you meant by 'help'.
"Oops! But you AREN'T a human anymore, are you? You're a beast! Eee hee!"
Not... a human... anymore?
What's going on? Something's changing, but what?
Did she have something to do with this?!
"There, there. You be a good boy and calm down. No need to bite!"
'Good boy'? Why does that phrase feel so familiar? Why do I want to hear it again?
Ah! What was that? It almost hit my pa-
Hey! The chain's broken! How'd she do that?
"You look kind of surprised! Eee hee hee!"
Well, yeah, I kind of am.
"So! I bet you're wondering, where exactly are we?"
Again, yeah I am.
Whoa! She just... but... how?!
"Well, I'll make you a deal. If you can get over here, maybe I'll tell you! Eee hee hee!"
But how can I do that? I can't do... whatever it is she just did...
Did she just yawn? Is she taunting me?!
She is! Oh, it is on, whoever you are!
I just have to find a way out of here... Hmm... She seems to be watching those boxes over there...
Maybe I can break them somehow?
Hey, there's a hole under the boxes! Maybe...
Yes! It worked! I'm free!
She's laughing again... but where is she?
Ah! What's on my back, what's on my back, what's on my back?!
"Hmph! I guess you're not completely stupid after all!"
Oh... it's her...
Get. Off. Of. Me.
"Listen, I like you, so I think I'll get you out of here."
... Go on.
Hey! Don't pull my ear, that hurts!
"But in exchange for my help, you have to do EXACTLY as I say!"
Why should I do that?
"If you need anything from me, just give me a sign!"
Great. How am I supposed to do that?
"So, are we all clear?"
Don't hit me!
"Good. Now come on! Get moving!"
'Good'. Why does that word feel so... I don't know... pleasant? It's like I want to keep hearing that word... forever...
What's happening to me...
It doesn't matter right now, what matters is getting out of here.
That cell has a chain hanging from the ceiling, maybe that'll help me?
I just gotta... there! Got it!
Hey, a passageway! Cool!
Wonder where it leads...
Whoa! What's this green thing?
"Oh... well, well..."
Huh?
Eee hee hee! Want to see something interesting?"
Uh... why?
"You're a beast! You should know what to do! Use your senses and poke around!"
Um... okay?
Whoa! A person! Where'd he come from?
"Huff... huff... Can't... run... any... farther... That's... far... enough... right? I'll be safe here... I think..."
What's a soldier like him doing cowering like this?
"What was that noise?! Don't... Don't anything come near me!"
Ookay then... that was... odd...
"That was a soldier's spirit."
No, really? I thought it was a soldier's helmet.
"Maybe it's someone from the other world? Eee hee!"
'Other world'? What does she mean?
Wait... wasn't Rusl mentioning something like that a couple of days ago?
"There are lots of other spirits roaming about here, you know. Hone your senses to see them. They might know things..."
Um... okay?
Hey, where does this path go?
"I doubt you're used to your new body yet, so I'll just tell you..."
Tell me what?
"Think about how you fought enemies in your human form..."
I didn't really fight that many enemies...
"Just because your shape has changed doesn't mean your instincts have as well!"
Heh, funny story... I think my instincts have changed... quite a bit, actually.
Spikes... hmm how do I get across this area?
Hey, another one of those chain-things! Maybe that will help?
Whoa, more water! How does that help...
I got it! I can swim across, over the spikes!
Haha! Take that, spikes! You can't stop me- ah!
What is that thing? What's it doing in the water?!
It's coming after me... and I don't think it's friendly...
Take that, water-monster! Now how do I get out of here?
Hey, another one of those floaty green things... maybe it's another person?
"What are these black monsters... I've never seen anything like them..."
Wait, these spirits can see the monsters? Does that mean they can see me?
Guess not. Weird.
Oh hey, another one of those chains.
The water level's gone down again... Now what?
Another set of bars... how am I getting through this...
"This way! Over here!"
How?
"I'll be waiting for you, but you'll have to help yourself for a change!"
'For a change'? That's all I've been doing!
Hm... how to get through...
Aha! A tunnel! Maybe I can go through here!
Another spirit, probably a soldier... what's their deal?
"Please, I am but a lowly soldier. Please, someone save me from these evil creatures..."
Hm... maybe these spirits can't see me?
The ground smells weird... why do I want to dig here?
Hey! A blue Rupee! Sweet! Don't know where I'm gonna keep them, though...
Haha! How do you like that? I got through to the other side! Aaand she's on my back again...
"Eee hee! Awww, did the detour tire you out, little wolf?"
The... the way she said that... why... why does that... Agh, this is confusing...
"By the way... are you honing your senses like you should?"
Y-yes ma'am... wait why did I just think that?!
"It looks like the spirits in here... They're all soldiers."
Yeah, so?
"Where in the world could we be? Eee hee!"
She's got a point... where are we?
"You want out of here, right? OK! We're off!"
Did... did my tail... did my tail just wag?
What in the world is happening to me?!
Whoa, this staircase is in really bad shape... wherever we are, it hasn't been taken care of for a while...
Well, since this is the bottom floor, there's nowhere to go but up!
Ah! It broke! It looked so solid...
"Ugh... what are you doing?"
I let her down... wait why does that thought bother me? I don't even know who she is! I don't even know her name!
I better try again. Maybe, if I jump a little farther... Maybe I'll make it?
Hmm... no, I can't make it from here... I'll just fall down again...
"I guess I have to do EVERYTHING for you..."
N-no, just a few thi- why do I keep thinking like this? Seriously, what's going on with me?
"I'll guide you to sure footing, so follow me!"
Yes ma- Stop that! Stop thinking like that!
Whoa... the ground behind me crumbled into dust... good thing she's helping me...
Uh... I need help... again... heheh...
How did I make that jump?! That should be impossible!
Another one of those monsters! I should attack it first before it attacks me!
Whoaaa... a rope... I should be careful...
Steady... just don't look down, Link...
There, I made it... and I need more help...
That jump should've been impossible too... how'd I make it?
Oh great, another bat... Stupid things won't leave me alone...
Ah! Where'd those two come from?!
Hmm, I can't jump from here to there on my own... guess I'll need her help again...
"So... You know where we are yet? Eee hee!"
No, not really.
"Well, if you go to the top, you might figure it out!"
Good enough reason for me to go up there. Maybe I'll find out where I am?
