FIVE MINUTES OF PARTICLE MAN
by an awesome blossom
Rauru is a superhero, bitches.
Weirdass and probably inaccurate applications of differing quantum mechanical theories and theories of light. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is property of Nintendo, and "Particle Man" is a song by They Might Be Giants.
Rauru is a spirit, but he doesn't like to think of it as that way.
He spends all of his days (which last forever and for all eternity) guarding the comatose body of the future Hero of Time. Three years have elapsed and he has four more to go, though they just feel like hours to him.
He is the Sage of Light, and he's supposed to be wise but he knows that he hardly knows a thing. After all, what is HE as a spirit of light?
But first he must figure out if light is a particle or a wave. It's been a question plaguing him since the beginning of when his memory starts. He would normally think that light is a wave since sound is a wave and both of them function relatively the same, but he also knows that light exhibits particle properties. Both Schrodinger wave equation and Feynman particle theory work in practice, so he is at an impass. Perhaps it is a particle-wave?
No, Rauru is a man who thinks of things in black and white terms. So he doesn't even want to think of such a union. So he thinks for four hours.
These four hours turn into four years, and the future Hero of Time will awaken sometime soon. He will save the kingdom just like a Christ-like superhero... And at once Rauru feels cheated in his destiny. He would like to be a superhero, too, if only to pass the time.
It is then that he comes to a conclusion: he hates cats, so Schrodinger and his cat have to go. And with Schrodinger's absence, Feynman and his clan rule the sacred realm, leaving Rauru free to transform into his superhero alter-ego:
Particle Man.
