Chapter 11
The mountains of Snowhead were much like Death Mountain, as it housed the Gorons. But where the Gorons of Hyrule prayed to the Spirit Eldin, and the goddess Din, the Gorons in Snowhead prayed and worshiped the Anicent Deity Ghot. When Majora's Mask first attacked Termina, Ghot was turned into a giant goat, sealing the Deity. When the time came for the Shards of Majora to be protected, Ghot of course was selected to protect one.
"Are we there yet? I'm freezing!" Marisa complained, Vaati smirked and rolled his eyes.
"And yet who was the one who refused my cloak when I offered it? I am the Mage of Winds; chilling breezes are nothing to me." The Wind Mage proclaimed as he shed his cloak and draped it over the Twilight Princess' shoulders. Marisa blushed. She had met Vaati before, and had been travelling with him for a little over a month and she was smitten with him.
"Thanks." She said. The two made small talk as they walked, until they came upon the barrier to Snowhead.
"Well, shall I?" Vaati asked. Marisa nodded, a small smile on her face.
"You shall." She said. Vaati turned to face the barrier and held his hands up.
"Svyashchennyy dveri iz drevnikh poslushayem moy krik. Otkroyte dver',chtoby blagorodnyy Sumerki Printessa mozhet prevyshat' ispytaniya v predelakh!" Vaati chanted and as was the case with the Woodfall Temple, the area in front of them swirled and then vanished. Marisa knew the drill this time, and said nothing to Vaati as she walked into the temple. As she entered, Vaati once again manifested a ball of darkness and sent it in after her.
"Eeg furouoa p'egar P'uu vilt slaa inn, prinsessa." I wondered when you would enter, Princess. The Deity spoke as its light spawned in front of Marisa.
"Then you know why I am here." Marisa challenged as she took Vaati's cloak off her shoulders, ready this time for a fight if it would happen.
"P'uu hefur ekki hugmynd af douokkum vouold p'uu leitar eftir." You have no idea of the dark powers you seek. The Deity's voice this time was more concerned than enraged as Odalwa had been.
"And I care not about it, will you hand it to me willing?" Marisa asked. The Deity sighed and the light began to manifest into a monstrous goat.
"Ung prinsessa; vinsamlegast ekki gera meer aouo gera p'etta." Young Princess; please do not make me do this. The Deity begged. As it spoke, Vaati's dark energy ball hit Marisa square in the back, she did not feel it, but she felt her Twilight Power's become much stronger.
"If you will not give me the Shard, I will take it by force!" She proclaimed running towards Ghot.
"Milady! Milady Midna!" A young Twilight shaman yelled as he ran into the throne room.
"Yes? Merr'an, what is it?" Midna asked. The young shaman stopped a quick moment to get his breath.
"You asked the Order to tell you when another barrier went down, Snowhead's went down ten minutes ago." The young shaman breathed. Midna just nodded.
"Commander Shaqu'arr!" Midna yelled as a knight walked in.
"Ma'am?" The commander asked.
"I need you and your men to teleport to the Ancient Ruins of Snowhead. Bring Marisa home, and whoever she is travelling with. If they refuse, kill her companion and bring her back to me, bound if needed but alive." Midna ordered. She was shocked by her own words, but she knew; sadly, it was the only way.
"Yes ma'am!" The Commander said before running out to get his troops.
'Marisa...I am so sorry, this is the only way.' Midna thought, a single tear running down her face.
Marisa grunted in pain as the giant goat pinned her up against the wall, blood trickled down her side, Ghot's horn had grazed her side.
"Eeg biouo p'ig, skaltu ekki halda aafram p'essari leit." I beg you, please do not continue this quest. Ghot pleaded as he held Marisa against the wall.
"I am the Princess of Twilight! You will not defy me! Give me the Shard!" Marisa yelled. She had given into the blackness in her heart, and thrust her hand of hair into Ghot's face, releasing a burst of energy. The Deity roared in pain as he started to dissolve into Twilight particles, leaving another Shard of Majora's Mask in its wake. Marisa wordlessly grabbed the second shard and headed out of the Temple.
Vaati threw yet another Twilian soldier into the three that rushed him, he had his sword drawn and was using his wind power's to the fullest.
"Stand down!" The Commander yelled. Even though Vaati was standing his ground, he was weakening. Vaati sighed and stood down, but the guards were blasted by a burst of Twilight Energy.
"Princess?" Shaqu'arr asked as Marisa descended the steps, her hair was down, and her eyes were no longer the color of blue she had inherited from her father. They were red, the same red Zant had had, the same red Elric had had. She threw out her hand of hair and grabbed up three Twili Soldiers crushing them and dissolving them into particles. The other troops fell back, but Vaati smirked and whipped up winds, freezing the other twenty so Soldiers in an ice that would never thaw. Shaqu'arr backed up as both the Twilight Princess and Wind Mage cornered him into a wall.
"I am not going to kill you, but send a message to my mother...innocents need not die, if she stays out of my way." Marisa hissed. Shaqu'arr gulped and nodded before vanishing. Vaati just looked as Marisa as she placed the second Shard of the mask with the first one in Vaati's pack.
"What the hell was that? Where did that come from?" Vaati asked. Marisadid not reply, but pressed him up against the frozen mountain side, kissing him. Vaati was shocked even when Marisa backed off.
"This is me making my own destiny." She said as she took the band that held her hair in a ponytail, the band that her mother had worn as the Princess of Twilight, and threw it to the ground. With an evil smile, both Vaati and Marisa walked down Snowhead heading towards the Twilight Bay.
"Yes...yes, I can feel her rage and wrath is no longer being held back, you have done it Vaati, now all we need it the mask!" Majora's spirit said as another part of her shadowed spirit vanished.
Wolfe: Well...damn, Marisa has completely gone off the deep end...hmm I wonder, the Shard of Power is still missing, maybe...maybe Marisa could get it? Anyway sorry for the long wait, I had this chapter, and actually everything up to the end of this whole story written out and planned….but my computer decided to be a little devil and shut down during a thunder storm, wiping out everything. So after calming down and resisting the urge to throw it off my balcony; seven stories down to the street below. I wrote this out; sent it to my amazing Beta Reader; seriously go check her out, she is ten times a better writer then I ever will be, and probably my inspiration to keep writing, I had lost hope after "Love Through Twilight" but re-reading Twili's stories and playing Twilight Princess again…and Majora's Mask 3D I found my love for the franchise rekindled and thus I have been writing this and have the whole series planned. So please guy, go check out her stories. And I will see you guys later, before this damn Author's Note becomes longer than the Chapter….ok…bye. Also real quick, would you guys like me to do the translation thing for everytime someone says something in the Twilight Language from here on out? Or leave you guessing?
