Chapter 20

Melody only heard mutters when she first woke up but, then due to how weak she felt she soon blacked out again. She dreamed that she was falling. Falling to nowhere she wondered what would happened if she reach the bottom if there was a bottom at all. She thought to herself was she dying or was she already dead. She soon then to forget things like her name, where she was from, who her friends were, all of it was fading away. She felt the darkness trying to cover her until she heard a voice call to her. It sounded like her father but, at the same time it wasn't. Then she saw a hand reach out to her. She then felt her senses again and tried to reach out for it. When she grabbed it she woke up in her bed on Death Mountain.

"Melody, your awake." Zelda said who was sitting on a chair beside her.

"Mother..." Melody said weakly.

She felt her mother's hand petting her hand. Melody then asked "W-What happened?"

"You fought Ghirahim and chased him off. You've been asleep for four days."

"T-that long. Why?"

"Well...you were close to killing Ghirahim and I think you fainted do to shock."

"I don't understand I've killed animals before."

"An animal is one thing a human life is another."

"Did anything while I was asleep?"

"Not much but, I don't want you to worry about it. I just want you to focus on being well."

"Where's father?"

"He's in the war room talking to his commanders about there next move. Were preparing for the worst."

Melody stood up and said "Will we be attacked?"

"Were not sure. We hope not."

"...It gonna happen isn't it? Mother please I wish to fight."

"...After what I saw you do I fear for your safety. You have a power you can't control so me and your father decided to keep you here until we find a way to control it."

"Mother I won't know this power until I practice on it. The only way to do that is to fight."

Zelda kissed her on the forehead and said "Melody that is far from the truth. I know that may not seem true to you but, please just trust us. I love you my dear."

"...I love you too mother."

Zelda then left to let Melody think. Melody tried to talk to the Deity but, she couldn't contact him almost like he was ignoring her which was what he was doing. Melody got out of bed and as she walked around she began to wonder who's hand it was that saved her. At one point she wondered if she could summon the twisted sword and she could which she found odd. She bumped into Tatl and said "Melody your awake!"

"Oh hey Tatl. Where have you've been?"

"Well you might want to sit down for this."

She then explained that at one point during her sleep they were thinking of trying to kill the Deity and they thought Ghirahim did come back but, they weren't sure in the end. Melody then said "Do you know what the armies are doing?"

"All that I know is that there getting ready for a big battle."

She kept on walking with Tatl following asking "Has the Deity been talking to you?"

"No. I think he's ignoring me."

"I wonder why?"

"Tatl what exactly happened with my fight with Ghirahim?"

"...Do you really want to know?"

"Please Tatl. I know my parents won't tell me."

"Alright you...you made your arm go right through his chest and then you cut him with your sword. Quite deeply then you fainted and here we are."

"I wonder what we could do now. My parents told me not to fight but...I can't just sit here."

"Maybe you should."

"Why?"

"What if Ghirahim comes again? You be a ton of help beating him with your new power."

"I'm not going to use it again."

"What?! Why?!"

"Because I think...it almost killed me or something worse because I had a dream where I was being consumed by darkness but, then someone saved me."

"Who? The Deity?"

"No it was someone else. I don't know."

"Hhhhhmmm...I got nothing."

"Me too."

They walked outside the fortress but, as they were about to head back they heard someone call them and then they saw to there surprise and angry to see Majora. "Majora?!" Tatl yelled.

"It's me yes."

"You have a lot to explain for not helping!" Tatl yelled.

"Your the one who left leaving your poor brother searching. In fact he's back at home in you wish to see him trying to do a list I made yes."

"Why haven't you been helping though I'm quite curious." Melody said already knowing the answer.

"The Deity should have told you yes."

"So you know."

"I know many things yes. Oh so many things long ago and long forgotten."

"Why are you here?"

"To help you control your power yes. I know the Deity well and how his power works yes."

"...What's happening to me?"

"Oh you are a smart girl now. Yes well the Deity's power is slowly possessing you yes. There are times you can control it but, in the end you will just be a ruthless god just like the Deity."

"But, the Deity has been-"

"He doesn't care for you don't you see yes? He's just making you his perfect puppet and is just waiting to for the right moment."

"...And I suppose you don't care for me either?"

"Well for right now I do but, who knows I may change my mind."

"Then why bother helping me? I'm done with this just go away Majora."

"Wait what about your power yes?"

"I'll figure it out."

Then a voice that seemed to be coming from nowhere said "Oh will you now? Then I guess I should stop you from doing so."

To Melody's shock and fear Ghirahim appeared to them. Melody summoned her sword and yelled "Y-you!"

"Long time no see my dear." Ghirahim said as a jest.

"How did you heal to fast?!"

"When you have lived for a long time you tend to know a few tricks. Now are you going to come with me quietly or are we going to have a repeat?"

Melody readied her stance and Ghirahim shock his head saying "Tsk, tsk, guess we have to learn the hard way."

"I'm almost killed you!"

"By sure dumb luck child. Do you wish to test this again?"

Melody just grunted scared to find out. He continued saying "Why fight me my dear? The Deity is trying to control you. Come with me and I can get rid of him for good."

"No! I'd rather die than go back to your side again! I'll find my own way of controlling my own body!"

"Well I'm sorry to say it but, that's not really a choice for you."

Melody then began her attack but, she was soon punched in the gut so hard that she felt bones break. Melody then fell to the ground with her sword disappearing. She tried to clutch her gut but, she could barely move. She then asked the best she could "W-what d-did you d-do to me?"

"There's more than one way to cast a spell plus a mix with my own strength. Now then..."

He place his fingers on her head and muttered a spell to put her asleep. Plus the spell also causes the body not to move for an hour. Before he was able to gather her in his arms he saw the fairy charging at him. He smacked her hard hoping he killed "it". He then picked her up and opened a portal but, before he left with her he summoned a small army of his creatures and told them to attack and kill all.
