I am so sorry about the last chapter; I think I got too confused trying to explain everything I wanted in a chapter. I think I'm rushing this, I mean; a chapter every two weeks is ok, right? But two chapters in a week and a half is probably making them low quality isn't it? I have been reading around a bit and I realise I'm not really doing as much as I could for these chapters, so I'm going to try and make them better! Not that I'll manage it too often, but I'll try, just for you guys!
We entered the temple of time in single file. Zelda, then Link, I was at the back. Naturally.
I knew what to expect from the temple. After all, I had a N64 at home. This temple would be around the size of a school gym hall and have a few stained glass windows along with some beams or so I thought it would. Wrong again.
I held my breath as Link and Zelda, taking a door each, pushed the large oak door open. They stood at the door, making a sign with their hands like they were praying, a sign of respect probably. But this wasn't my religion, so I waited while they did this action then went in.
The small stone corridor was carpeted with deep red velvet. The main hall was ahead and our footsteps seemed to echo forever out into the room. I took over Link and Zelda, running into the hall. The sight took my breath away.
An immense man made chasm. The carpet spread out to run up to an altar that looked like it was a mile away. The seal of light, it's flowing design seven feet across and centred under a beam of light. I went and stood in the middle, gazing around, taking everything in slowly. The walls were smooth as silk ran up forever, to reach a ceiling far away. Drapes hung along the wall, red to match the carpet. No dirt or dust destroyed the wondrous and hauntingly beautiful temple. Silence muffled the following footsteps of Zelda and Link, like a vacuum had formed around me I fell still to breath in the sounds of nothing.
"It's wonderful isn't it" Zelda had come up beside me and put her hand on her heart
I nodded in awe.
"No matter how many times I come here, I never get tired of this place" she continued, then set off to walk up the carpet towards the alter
"I love this place," Link said walking past me quietly "You can almost hear the monks and their song around you from long ago"
"Yeah...right" I started to follow after the two Hylians
The carpet muffled our footsteps as we drew to the altar. It was a huge slab of marble, carvings covered the front, and inscriptions on the top told stories and legends that the Temple was famous for. And the slots, the three slots where Link had once placed the three stones of the world, were there as well. Zelda stood back as Link stood near the altar.
"Here we go again" Link said and drew out his ocarina
I watched fascinated by what I was about to see.
Link put the ocarina to his face and closed his eyes. His cheeks blew out slightly and a deep note rumbled through the Temple Of Time. It echoed so loudly for a moment I had visions of the Temple collapsing on us. Another note sounded to join the pitch of the first and more notes flew out to greet the first. The music was beautiful but made me tremble at its power as Link continued to play.
Then a glow emerged slowly from the altar to enfold Link as he continued to play the song of time. As we watched three balls of colour lifted themselves out of Link, one green, one red and one blue. They flew into one of the slots that were made for them and hovered smoothly.
"Wow" I said as Link stopped playing "You could be a one man band with that thing"
Link grinned and looked at the wall ahead.
Zelda looked at the wall ahead.
I looked at the wall ahead.
Why the hell were we looking at a wall?
Maybe I should just wait...
Nope, it's just a wall.
Ok, this is just getting stupid.
I opened my mouth to say something about this wall staring when the floor shook again. I looked at the others; they were still staring at the wall. I followed their gaze for a second time; the wall was beginning to open. Yep, it was opening like a door. How stupid of me to forget, of course the wall opened.
The whole length of the wall folded back to reveal the chamber where the master sword had lain. But it wasn't there anymore obviously as Link had it strapped across his back.
"Well, this is where we can cross over" Link said turning round
"That's it?" I stared, "That was...easier than I thought for some reason"
"That's it" Zelda confirmed "So are you ready?"
"Yes" I nodded and we started up for the opening
"WAIT" a voice yelled up to us from the entrance of the temple
I turned round to see who had called us.
"What the~?"
In the entrance to the tunnel, right down the end of the temple stood a Zora.
"Who are you?" Link drew his bow and aimed at the silvery figure
"Don't fire" the Zora said, he lay the spear he was carrying on the floor
"My name is unpronounceable in your language" he replied simply
"Right" I rolled my eyes
"What are you doing here Zora?" Zelda asked calmly
"I am here to go with you to the sacred realm" the Zora bowed deeply at the princess of Hyrule
"What is your purpose in coming with us?" Link didn't lower his bow for a moment
"My people are missing, I want to get them back," the Zora said
"You want the army?" I asked
"Yes, we are defenceless at the moment. We are open to attack" he looked at me, "And besides, you cannot protect yourself, as was shown at Zoras domain"
I frowned "Hey there, are you trying to tell me you want to come to protect me?"
"And your friend too, yes. As a side quest anyway"
"Too late for that" I said briskly, "She's dead"
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be," I snapped, "You didn't know her, and you're not really sorry"
"But I am"
"Whatever" I turned toward the chamber Link had opened with the ocarina "Let's go, I'm not bothered whether this Zora comes or not"
"Fine by me" Link replied and put his bow back on his back
"Well good luck" Zelda said smiling
"Your not coming?" I cried dismayed, "It's your stupid mission"
"Hey" Link punched me "Don't talk to her like that, it's not your business, whether she comes or not"
"It's my life though that's being risked" I protested
"Yeah but~"
"I am a sage" Zelda bowed apologetically "I am needed to help open the seal to the sacred realm and stop things from escaping the sacred realm once the door is open you see"
"Right..." I said slowly "Well that's different, if you were going to sit around on your arse all day I'd be angry"
Link punched me again.
"I was joking!" I squeaked rubbing the spot where he'd made contact
"Shall we go?" the Zora said picking up his spear
"Don't talk to me" I mumbled half-heartedly "I might bite you"
Well how was that chapter? Tee hee, better? I didn't think so...ah well, R&R please!
