Kimiko's Quest
Chapter 10
Day Six: 12:45 PM
Blu's POV
???
"Wha? Where am I?" I slowly blinked my eyes open, but all I could see was white. The last thing I remembered was being hit by Ganondorf's strongest attack. And I...I died.
"There's three answers to that question, Blu." I sat up and turned to see me, the way I was on those steps. "Physically, your body is on the steps of the Spirit Temple, next to mine. Spiritually, we're both in one of Kimiko's bottles. Mentally, we're in another realm. This is where the dead go. I'm Kitsune. I was you, or you used to be me, or something. I'm you from a past life."
"GAH! I DIED!...again? How the hell can I die AGAIN? I mean, I was dead on the floor! Or was that me? It smelled like me...GAH! THIS IS CONFUSING!"
"Well, as you've been told before, this isn't the first time you've lived. I died, and was reborn as you. I've been hidden away inside you all this time."
"Why did I die?! How did you...or is it I...end up on those steps?" I pause. "Ok, too many questions... First off, do you and I have the same name or what?"
"Yes, but not the same nickname. You see, I only met one other person in my life, and she died when I was very young. Nobody was ever around to give me a nickname. As for your first question... Well, I will show you." My eyes began to blur as my other self completely left my view. I tried to turn, wanting to look for my only companion in this white world, but couldn't move an inch. The room swam and my eyelids fluttered as I was pulled forward. Suddenly, it all stopped.
My limbs ached and cracked as I stood. Wondering how I ended up on the floor, I looked around. The grassed area around the Spirit Temple in the Sacred Realm meet my watering eyes.
"Where the hell...?" I looked into the dim image around me. It was like looking through parchment. The amber tinted background twisted and turned around me. "Freaky..."
Soft crying met my sensitive ears as I wondered through the dusty world around me. As I followed the sound, my surroundings danced in the mid day sun. I stopped as a small girl met my view. A small me was crying over an older woman. Her skin was a sickening grey. I wanted to move to her. Hold her. Make sure this image was real...but I was stuck again.
The little me spoke, but I couldn't hear a word. The only thing I could hear was her sobbing. The stench of death hung around the sad scene. I fell to my knees, the image moving away from me. Tears ran down my face. "No...No mom..."
My knees hit the bleached ground with a thud. I didn't feel a thing. I didn't know if it was because I wasn't alive to feel or if I just didn't want to. Tears fell to the floor, one after another. "You saw it, did you?"
"Shut up." I look at my other self, my vision slightly blurred because of the salt water pouring from my eyes. "Why did you show me my mom dying? What does that prove? You and I both lost our parents at the age of five?"
"Oh, DID you lose your parents? Sure they threw you out, but you had Kimiko and her parents to look after you. I had no one. Watch." Everything blurred again, and I found myself in another place.
I think it was the way things would have been if Ganondorf had not tainted the Dead Pathways. There were no walls, and the grass was green. It would have been nice, if not for a ten year old me, walking slowly, tears in her eyes. I guess five years wasn't enough time for her to heal. Especially without another living soul to comfort her.
"Why?! Din! Nayru! Farore! Why did you take my mom from me?! Why did you leave me alone?!" The little me stopped to scream to the sky. This was awful. I didn't want to see anymore of this. As I was dragged back to the white void, I noticed that she was moving east, very slowly.
"Kitsune! Why are you torturing me like this?! Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Because you need to know about your past. You need to understand in order to move on."
"Move on? What do you mean 'move on'?"
"One last memory, and then you will see." Another blurry scene formed around me. It became clearer and clearer until I was in front of the Spirit Temple again. Something was different this time. The altar that held the Triforce was empty. Kitsune, my age this time, was standing in front of it, and I could see the mark on the back of her left hand. I knew this part already.
Kitsune raised her hand, and the Triforce floated to the altar. She put her hand on it and started to speak. The words that bound her fate and mine. "Goddesses! Hear my plea! I will not bring another here to suffer the same fate as me, only to ease my suffering! Instead, I want to die and be reborn, somewhere else. Somewhere with people. And I want to have at least one good friend. Please, goddesses, end my suffering. Let me die!"
My breath hung in my throat as I mouthed along with her wish. I watched the brown tinted Kitsune begin to stumble over the steps she was standing on. Her feet slipped, sending her falling to the ground. I felt the pain as she hit the ground, landing on the steps with a sickening thud. I inhaled, so did she. Her ears drooped, her tail fell limp, and she breathed her last breath.
I closed my eyes, wanting it all to go away. When I finally opened my left eye, just hoping I was away from it all, in my bed, Kimiko about to hit me over the head for kicking her out like I do with all my nightmares, and find out it's all some stupid dream, I was in the white room again. Alone.
"Kitsune? KITSUNE?! DON'T TELL ME YOU SHOWED ME ALL THAT JUST TO LEAVE ME!" I got up, once again finding myself on the white floor, and began tearing through the glassy surroundings. "YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME!!!" I started to feel dizzy, like I was hyperventilating or something. I began to swoon, then I passed out.
I don't know how long I was out. When I came to, I was feeling strange. That's when I realized that I didn't exactly have a form. And I was in a bottle.
