Well, I see that the change in my writing has not gone unnoticed. Want to know why? See, I've been told before that I'm too rushed. Well, someone (Blu) finally clarified that for me. In my own words, I finally figured out that I've been focusing too much on plot and not enough on setting. I'll try to balance it the best I can, but there's a couple chapters that I know will have to be mostly plot. There'll be no way around it. I'm apologizing in advance for those.
Okay, then. I'm sure you're all wondering what the worst thing Blu can imagine is. Well, I'm not telling! I'll drop about fifty thousand hints, but you'll never get it. Well, you might, but it'd probably be a lucky guess or something. Not that I doubt the intelligence of the people who read this. No, it's just that it's not very easy to guess, unless you know what to look for. Still, there's enough info that only Blu and one other person know that you'll probably never figure it out without. Oh, well. I'm really anxious to write that part, so you'll know soon enough. Then you'll hate me for a while. But not for very long.
Kimiko's Quest
Chapter 5
Day Two: 12:00 PM
Blu's POV
Forest Temple (Hyrule)
"What in the name of Din were you thinking?!" This was a side of Kimiko's father I'd never seen, even after living in his house for eleven years. He was beyond mad. He was enraged. We'd left the temple for the Sacred Forest Meadow. Nothing would have seemed out of place, if it weren't for his shouting, along with the fact that Kimiko was floating in midair next to me. Could you call her position 'sitting'? Besides that, there wasn't a bird, fairy, or insect making a sound.
"You saw the letter! You know! How were we supposed to ignore the goddesses?" Kimiko wasn't happy, either. Her eyes, which had been normal and blue when we arrived, started glowing red. That little reminder of her power made her dad cool off fast.
"I'm sorry, but you could have at least told us where you were going..." Well, that made the glow of Kimiko's eyes become blue, and that was a start. I hoped...
"We wanted to, but the goddesses told us that it would be better if they told you after we were gone."
"They told us about an hour ago, but we were still worried about you. I mean, it's just you and Blu. Ganondorf is still in the Sacred Realm, and just because he's imprisoned there doesn't mean he's not dangerous," warned Kimiko's dad. Like that would get him anywhere...
"Yeah, but he'll be even more dangerous if he manages to break the seal on the Triforce before we get to it! Blu and I can handle ourselves!"
I nodded, digging my hands deep into the pockets of my flabby pants. "It's not like we haven't thought about not going," I said, my eyes pointed at the ground. "It's just that we can't! Only Kimiko and I can do this. You've got to let us."
"I just don't want anything to happen to you two! Kimiko's my daughter, and you might as well be my daughter, and I don't want to lose you two! I can't let you, even for the Triforce!"
"Dad, you're not being reasonable! We have to go, and that's final!" I probably would have thought something about who the parent was here, but just then, Kimiko unleashed a huge wave of warp energy, blasting me and her back into the temple. At least, that's where I thought we were...
"Kimiko, what did you do?!"
"Relax, Blu. I just wanted to get us out of there. We're in the next room of the temple in the Sacred Realm."
"How did we get into the Sacred Realm?"
"Well, I kind of figured out that I can warp us from one realm to the other once a day. After that, I have to rest that part of my power for a day."
"All right. Hey, can I see the map?"
"It doesn't really say anything. Just that we've got a few rooms to walk through to the end. There's not even two paths. Just one room leading to the next."
"Kimiko? Is something wrong? You've been acting funny ever since you saw that map."
"No. Nothing's wrong. Why do you think anything's wrong?"
"Well, where do I start? You're holding that map like it's your only lifeline, you just yelled at your father, AND you're lying to me, your best friend. Spill it babe."
"It's nothing. Okay? You'll find out soon enough, but I can't tell you right now."
"You'd better have a damn good reason for keeping whatever this is from me, or your ass is mine." I flashed her a goofy smile, but she just brushed me off. 'I am going to kill the goddesses for this whole thing. Kimiko's changed, and I don't think I like it.' "Kimiko, I don't know what your problem is, but you'd better get over it fast, or it's going to be a long trip."
I know this is short and late, but I've had a horrible case of writer's block. Thanks, Blu, for giving me several pushes, and for writing about half your own dialogue. Yes, folks, what you have just read is Luna-Kitsune-Blu putting words in the mouth of Kitsune "Blu" Luna. That's right, I've decided that the last name of her birth parents is Luna. Well, that's about it. I'm going to start the next chapter right away. Trust me, you won't have to wait nearly as long!
