My, my, my. What a bunch of confusion among my reviewers! In reverse order... Mia: Link's brothers... Well, I'll tell you. Things have been quiet among them. Yes, Rown and Nabooru did get married, and Rown is king of the Gerudo. All of them will show up soon, so I haven't completely forgotten them, but now's not the time. They just have small roles. Ninmast: Kimiko's spell? Well, if you'll look again, I turned myself back when I turned Kimiko into a poodle, and I only made the poodle 'spell' last 5 seconds. Bonzai Girl: I used to be like you as far as reviews go, until I started writing. Thanks for pointing out that error. I was typing too fast, and since exited is a real word, spell check didn't catch the mistake. Thanks. Oh, I guess that was all of them... All right. Since Blu seems to think I did such a good job getting her character right, I'm gonna try again!
Note: I had intended to finish If Things Were Different before I got into this, and I tried, but I couldn't do it. I just couldn't think of a way to end it. Sorry, but it's going to take forever to finish that.
Note2: Yes, I did borrow most of the bag idea from Dan Heron's Family of a Hero. I did come up with some of it myself though, and it really isn't the first time I've heard a similar idea, so nobody yell at me, 'cause I'm not trying to copy here!
Kimiko's Quest
Chapter 2
Day Two: Morning
Blu's POV
???
I'll tell you right now, not many things scare me, other than a shortage of ramen (at least that's what I want you to think...), but appearing in a white void scared me. It also scared me when we heard a voice that was one and three, familiar and foreign, all at the same time. "Good. You made it." Nayru appeared.
"Why did you hide your true identities from us? Why did you keep my powers from me all these years?" The glow of Kimiko's eyes had changed from blue to red. That's the other thing that scares me, an angry Kimiko.
"Power corrupts. We wanted you to grow into a good, unspoiled, kind person before you got your powers. As for why we hid our identities, we figured it would be less of a shock to you than if we told you as a baby."
"So it was all an act, to watch me..."
"No. We really are your father's friends, and we really are the way we act around you. We actually care about you as much as we've always shown. None of it was an act."
"So why didn't you stop everyone from losing the Triforce?"
"Umm, we didn't intentionally create the Triforce, so we can't control it."
"Well, I guess that's all of our questions. We'd better get started."
"I can send you to the entrance to the Sacred Realm, but no further. Get ready."
"Wait!" Was I the only one who was thinking here? "Besides Tobu-Ken and magic, we have no equipment. Could you get us some?"
"Oh! Of course. I'll give you each a full copy of Link's equipment, plus a special bag each. You can put anything inside of it, and as many things as you want, but it'll never get heavier or bigger. Plus, if you think about something appearing in your hand, it will, and you don't even have to reach in the bag! I'll just leave it all here for you to pick up. At the end of the room, there's a couple yellow crystals. When you pick them up, you'll be taken to the Sacred Realm. After that, they can be used to get you back to the Temple of Time, since the warp songs take you to different places once you're in the Sacred Realm. Bye!" Nayru disappeared, leaving a ton of goodies.
I've never seen so many shiny weapons in my life. We each got a Longshot, a bow, the spells for the three magic arrows, a huge hammer, two kinds of magic boots, a Lens of Truth, Titanium Gauntlets, a Mirror Shield, a set of the 24 Happy and Transformation Masks from Termina, several bottles filled with every kind of healing liquid or creature you can imagine (Blue Potion, Chateau Romani, fairies, etc.), and many different tunics. Yeah, that's a long list, isn't it? Tobu-Ken: Stating the obvious once again... Blu: What? Hey, I'm the one writing this, not you, sword boy! Tobu-Ken: If I had a tongue, I'd stick it out at you... Blu: Grr... Back to the story...
Well, I put on the Goron Tunic. I love that thing. It looks SO good on me! Kimiko had equipped the Master Sword, and I had the pain in the butt known as Tobu-Ken (Tobu-Ken: Hey!), so we were set. We each grabbed a crystal and found ourselves in a world we never could have imagined.
I heard a poem once, it was something like this:
In a realm beyond sight,
The sky shines gold, not blue.
There the Triforce's might
Makes mortal dreams come true.
Well, they were right. The sky really was gold. It was strange, though, because there were patches where the sky was dark and stormy. Ganondorf must have been changing it to his will. Well, we had no idea where to start, so we just kind of walked and enjoyed it for a minute. I swear, if the seriousness of this thing hadn't already calmed me down, this would have done it. As if I wasn't already silent and out of character enough, a golden letter really increased it.
Blu,
There's an altar that holds the Triforce on the other side of the Sacred Realm. You two will have to fight your way through dungeons and mazes, and even through some of the areas under Ganondorf's influence. Inside is a map of the Sacred Realm. I think you'll find it familiar. Oh, and you should know that there's something there that will shock you. Just prepare yourself for the worst thing you can imagine.
Nayru
The worst thing I could imagine? I was scared, but it was pushed from my mind when I handed the letter to Kimiko and glanced at the map of the Sacred Realm. It looked just like Hyrule. The Temple of Light was where the Temple of Time should have been, and the Triforce was in the equivalent of Gerudo Valley. That wouldn't have been a problem, except that there were huge walls that made you detour. "Come on, Blu. Hey, I'll make some beef ramen if you come with me!"
"Lets go!"
Well, that was a lot different than anything I've written for a while. I tried to make Blu sound like the character she's always seemed to be, but it was a little hard. I swear, the seriousness of it all will wear off by the next chapter. Blu will be her old self again (mostly)! Well, not much to say besides that. I'd ask you to review, but you all do a good enough job without me saying anything that I won't bother you about it!
