The Fate of the First Hero of Light

This is the worst.

There is a giant dead chaos dragon. It has been ripped to shreds, it was killed in a single strike. I am looking at the shattered hilt of my Greatsword on a name plaque it says "Wraakgierige Glas Swaard" It means Vindictive Glass Sword. When we were being rewarded for our bravery by the Dwarfs. I selected a Greatsword out of a box in the corner, I chose the most inconspicuous one. I handed Zelda an ancient Dark Magics Codex.

Great Mother Hurmihilda sent us on a quest to gather the necessary reagents to prepare a spell that could help Zelda, to disrupt her life forces. We were sent to Death Mountain to find death cap mushrooms, eyes of newt, red spiders silk and garlic.

But back to my sword problems. It was a sword that could defeat any creature, only once! The sword shattered into so many small shards. It looked like dropping a glass vase from the Royal Castle's tower. I cannot use any magics on this quest, otherwise the ingredients will absorb my ice magics and become unusable for the spell. Zelda's magic have been sealed by Aunt Hurmihilda. Also to stop her healing magics from tainting the reagents.

When the sealing was complete two lines formed on Zelda's palms. They proceeded to open and formed two mouths with teeth and a tongue on each! Before Zelda could speak, I was already falling and fainted. When I awoke I saw two mouths close to my face, chewing something. After screaming intensely and fainting again.

Was I eventually composed. This whole journey I stare at her hands chewing something in their mouths. Zelda is not perturbed she says she finds it relaxing. Her boundless energies for the first time in her life being contained. She says she feels balanced. Her hair is shining even brighter than before and her skin becoming more supple.

Luckily her hands produce a substance similar to clay. When it is thrown or placed she can use magics to make it explode.

"bleehheeheeeheeeheheheh!"

I hear a sound and feel a wet clump of clay it has a mucous covering. Is thrown up into my hand, by Zelda's left hand's mouth! "Geir If you kneed it into a little clay man shape. I can make it run towards the enemy." I am so shocked at hearing that. I collapse onto my one knee. The clump of snot covered clay shoots out of my hand."Geir I can only make a certain amount. If we do not use the power outside of myself. We cannot make anymore. Quickly fetch it! The enemies are almost here!"

I struggle to shape the slimy piece of clay. It wants to escape my grip, slipping and sliding. It is finished. I put it on the ground."Geir take cover!" The little snot clay man runs with great speed towards the giant spiders. It reached the spider. Zelda lifts her right hand upwards to face level. Her hand is closed, only extending her index and middle finger.

"KATSU!"screams Zelda.

The back blast of the explosion pushes with force against me. I have to brace myself. Zelda takes cover behind me. It is so loud my ears are ringing. My parka is completely green, there are pieces of spider intestines dripping off me. The destruction is immense. The spiders are as large as horse carriages. There is only one single leg left twitching of the first spider, the second and third row of spiders are ripped to shreds.

There is an S bend and I can see the path on the right side of the mountain leading upwards. At least half a days travel. "GEIR! QUICKLY HERE. THEY ARE COMING AGAIN!"

"bleehheeheeeheeeheheheh!" The sound the hand makes when throwing up the snot covered clay.

I feel weak. How many times is the hand going to have to throw up into mine? While forming the snot clay, struggling to keep it from ejecting from my hand. I look towards my sword, maybe I can stab them with the last piece of shard that is left. It is only half a hands breath long. Surely if I stab it enough times? "Geir what are you doing?!" The snot clay man jumps out of my hand and runs.

"KATSU!"

Another explosion. I stand up and throw the broken hilt down the mountain's side. "Zelda climb on my back.""Good idea Geir. I can form it and then you just hold your hand. I will then drop it from my hand over your shoulder. Geir I am going to try something. I will hold my hands in front of your chest. Then when I chewed enough with the left hand! I will throw it into the right one! That should increase the power!

"bleehheeheeeheeeheheheh!"

The snot clay falls into her other hand. It is not in completely, the right hand's tongue licks the snot clay from its lips and swallows it in. "GEIR! IT IS READY HERE CATCH!

"bleehheeheeeheeeheheheh!"

While forming the clay figure. I feel wetness on my face, when last did I cry?

"GEIR! NOW LET IT GO!" The little snot man runs awkwardly towards the spiders.

"KATSU!"

Zelda's hand is next to my head, her hand is closed only her index and middle finger are extended. I can see the teeth in her palm moving, also I hear them chewing.

Many times later...

The sun has set the moon is shining. I built a fire.

"Geir look here!"

"Yes, Zelda?"

"I can even eat with them! When I put food in my hands my stomach gets full! Amazing is it not!"

"Yes, it is Zelda. I am going to sleep."

"So early why don't we practice forming the clay. I made a little bird. But then my naughty lefty ate it again!"

I move so slowly. It feels as if I had lost all my energies. I cannot even remove my parka. I just fall awkwardly on the ground. My eyes hurt and my cheeks feel sore. My constant sobbing while moving up this mountain. The constant gnashing of those mouth's teeth and the snot clay feeling in my hand. The worst has to be when she passes it from one hand to the other one. The tongues licking the clay into their mouths, when Zelda fails to drop it in correctly.

The next day

While laying still. I immediately grabbed the preserved foods I have stored in the many pockets of my parka and eat them all. If I hear those teeth gnashing. I will not be able to eat even once in this entire day." I am finished.

"KATSU!" There is a loud explosion. I am up, I want to make an ice sword. Instantly I recall what Aunt Hurmihilda told me. I do not want to suffer this journey twice. "ZELDA! WHERE ARE YOU?""Geir! Sleepy head over here! Look I can make them fly!" Thank you Ancient Ancestors! Now I will not have to touch that clay again!

"Please forgive me Geir. I was so exited about this new ability. I must have expended to much energies. Please carry me again."

I feel a massive warm piece of clay in my hand.

"ZELDA WHAT IS THIS?!""I am sorry Geir, I think I might have eaten to much."

Many long times later...

"Zelda here is the potion. The spell is contained inside the potion, when consumed can you learn the spell."

"Great Mother Hurmihilda is such a thing possible?"

"Yes my child. This spell is very dangerous. This was the only way I was certain, that no one could learn of it. Here is the page when you drink the potion, the glyphs will become visible. Only enchant it once. Afterwards you will never be able to forget it."

"Thank you Great Mother. What if I am captured? Could they not extract the knowledge then."

"No, I made the spell in such a way it cannot be taught or transferred." Zelda drinks the potion and looks at the empty parchment. "Great Mother the glyphs are alive. How is magic like this possible? I cannot read the..." Zelda has a blank look on her face she is whispering gibberish. Her eyes open.

"HOW MANY SUNCYCLES HAVE I BEEN GONE!"

"Calm down child, you have no even been away for a small moment." "What of Great Mother Herhulyn? The DragonClaw Mages!""Do not worry about those things. If it is fated for you, you will meet them again. Please collect yourself before you leave. You have not been away for even many moments." "GEIR IS THAT TRUE?!" "Yes, Zelda you just learned the spell." Zelda starts crying and hugs me. I embrace her I feel something moving my parka. I glance those palms are moving...

Finish.
