------------------CHAPTER 18:Arrival------------------
Link began to slow down,as his dicent to the ground became slowed and peaceful.At this point he could see the city in greater detail.The brown brick roads that filled the streets.The strange dome like structures which Link assumed were domociles and maybe stores.The amazingly beautiful tall buildings,which their roofs seemed to be slashing into the clouds.And a golden-esque castle lying quietly in the distance.
"AHHHHHHHHH",Link quickly screamed.A strange and high pitched noise started entering into Link's head.It came from nowhere,and it was so strong and powerful that Link thought his head was about to explode.A pulsing migraine entered into his head,and the sound persisted in tourmenting Link's eardrums.He could feel his head throbing ,wildly,violently,and it almost made Link seriously thinking about amputating his ears from his head.Blood started streaming from his now dark-redish lobes,and snot came gushing out from his mouth and nose.
He couldn't take any more of it,so he quickly pulled his sword out and lanced it hair close to his neckline.He wasn't able to think straightly at all,only how terrible the sound was and how painful his migraine was.So,he arched the long Helix Sword back as far as he could,and made bullet-fast swings twords his head.The headache,the screeching noise,the blood and snot.It all made him so disoriented that he couldn't properly aim the sword to his neck,and kept missing every time he strook through thin air.Then,Link's eyes opened to size wider than a full moon's.He started gasping as he realized where the last swipe of his sword had just strook.
He had just cut off his own arm,and he did it so fast that he couldn't process the pain until seconds later.He shakily sheathed his sword back up into his scabbard.And pressed his left hand against the rapidly bleeding right arm,which was now nothing more than a bloody stub.The noise stopped,and his migraine weakened to a mere head pain.Then,as if a light was just switched off,everything went black.

~~??? Days Later~~
"Quick.......think..........waking up",Link could fuzzily make out."Father........breathing...........breathing again",another fuzzy voice said.Link focused a little more,and he could start making out what they were saying ,but he couldn't see anything.He thought he was blind for a minute there,until he heard one of them say that blindness wasn't one of his conditions.He did hear however that he had lost a lot of blood,he had broken a few bones,and something about the condition of his arm.
Finally Link opened up his eyes and made a quick look around.Everything was very blurry to him however,and he wasn't able to see things clearly yet."Oh finally,your awake"!Said one of the voices."Hush son!This is very important buissness!That and I do not think he's fully back to himself yet",said a deeper,more adult voice."Wha......where am I"?Asked Link,suffering his energy just to speak."Oh,i'm so sorry Mr.Link.My name's Kyrolpi,and this is my son Claygorn",said the brushy looking humanoid."Is......is this Deruni Town"?Link managed to ask before he totally vamped back into a semi-camatouse state.
~~2 Hours Later~~
Link awoke again,two hours after he first collapsed back into a camatouse state.Finally,after Kyrolpi used some strong medicine on him,Link reawakened to his sinces.He was now ready to ask some questions."Well,it's been established that i'm in Deruni Town,but exactly what happened Kyrolpi?Why did I end up here"?Link asked,sitting down on the finley woven Wuquertian bed."Eh,it's a long story Link,but i'll try to keep it short",Kyrolpi said.
"I'm a world famous minister on Zecherus",Kyrolpi said,producing a fake smile on his leathery face."People the world over come to me with their religious problems and quandries.I think that's maybe why I was chosen",Kyrolpi said,before being interupted by Link."Chosen?Chosen for what Kyrolpi"?Asked Link."Well,I was just getting to that part before I was rudely silenced",Kyrolpi answered,slightly annoyed.Link sulked,but quickly reverted back to listening to Kyrolpi."Anyway,I was chosen by......the goddesses.I was chosen to help you",Kyrolpi revealed.
"It was about one week and three days ago when they sent their messenger to tell me about you.From what they told me,basicly the entire universe's fate lies in your hands.Dosen't it boy"?Asked Kyrolpi,in a sceptical manor as he eyed Link."I suppose it does",Link meekly answered."Anyway,since that day it has been my personal duty to make sure your voyage and stay here on Zecherus be a safe and comfortable trip.Then,when you were closing in on Deruni Town,I noticed you going crazy in the skies up there.Before I continue,may I ask why"?Kyrolpi asked curiously."I.......I heard this terrible,horrible sound.It was so screechy and loud that I almost killed myself,and I lost my arm in my frantic state.As you can see my right arm is..........THERE"?!?!?!?Link looked down in shock.The arm he had amputated three days ago was right there.Once again attached to his arm socket.
"What!?But I swear that........",Link was then interupted,when Kyrolpi let out a quick giggle."Heh,when I picked you up I noticed that,so I replaced it with a synthetic arm",Kyrolpi answered,smiling at Link's appendage as if saying ,look at my work."Synthetic"?Link questioned."Oh um,how should I put this.I gave you a new,metal arm that can do everything a regular arm can do.You can take a look at it if ya' want",Kyrolpi said as he slowly got up for some tea."Holy Din!My arm it's,it's.........iron"!Link said as he saw a mechanical appendage as he took off his glove.It felt like a real arm too,which was very creepy.He didn't lose his sence of touch in the arm at all,and to some respect it worked a bit better that the first one."That Kyrolpi and Claygorn must be real geniuses",Link thought to himself.
"Yes,one of the best pieces of work i've ever done.Oh but enough of that,let's get back to the story.First off,did you say that you heard a loud sreeching noise"?Asked Kyrolpi,now shaking his fists worriedly."Yes,it was terrible",Link said,trying not to remember that horrible sound."Oh,just as I feared.For you see,our planet has a protection mechanism which I hoped wouldn't effect you,but it obviously did.Whenever an alien or foreign lifeform tries to enter our planet's atmosphere,a sort of bionic alarm will sound.After that,a loud screeching sound similiar to the one you heard will try and destroy the lifeform by blowing it's ears out and eventually it's head,where ever it may be located.I prepared for this however,and when I saw you blacking out in the middle of the sky I quickly sent my son Claygorn to retrieve your camatouse body.Well that's about it",Kyrolpi said as he got up and started twords the kitchen.
"So what am I supposed to do now"?Link asked."Stay here,for I have much to teach you before you go out adventuring.That and you must go through some rigorous arm therapy before you can leave.Your not able to hold things very well with that synthetic arm now,but eventually you will learn it's mechanisms inside-out",Kyrolpi explained as he came back holding a cup of brownish-liquid."Here,drink this.It's called a Jysin Drink,it'l perk you up in no time",Kyrolpi said as he handed the glass to Link.
"Thank you",Link said as he started taking tiny sips from the mug."Before anything ,could you try and guess how old I am"?Kyrolpi asked,as a smirk started to inch on his face."Gee,I don't know.Fourty-five,maybe fifty",Link said as he continued to drink from the mug."Heh,heh,sorry but way off",Kyrolpi said,trying to hold back his giggles."Well,how old are you then"?Link asked curiously."You'll never believe this,but I am actually 392 years old",Kyrolpi said.Link almost did a spit take with his Jysin Drink,but quickly swallowed it back down."And my son,he's 204 years old.The Wuquertian race Link has very long lifespans,some of the oldest can live to be almost five hundred years.Me however,I am eight years shy from my four hundreth birthday.I am growing old Link,in a few decades I shall be a shriveled old man",Kyrolpi said,now with a depressed expresion on his face.
"Oh but how rude of me,that is not what is important now.What's important is that you retrieve the Qyzeria Mist,and defeat that evil clone",Kyrolpi said,as he got up and headed twords his bedroom."Now,if you excuse me i'm rather tired.I think i'll take a nap",he added as he slowly crept the door open.Link just sat there,confused and dazed.A great deal of information had just been squeezed into his head in a reletively short period.He still had to process all of the deep subjects that had just been whized past him.Claygorn then came and sat down at the chair where his father had just sat.
"Heh,I see you've been lectured by Kyrolpi huh"?Claygorn asked,a bit humorously."Oh uh yeah.He's not a real thorough conversater is he"?Link asked."Nope,he's a bit eccentric,but very wise.Listen,we'll introduce you to King Rizuel in a couple of days,but for now you should probley do exactly what dad said.Stay here a couple of days,learn about this planet.That and you need to learn the knics 'n' knacks of the synthetic arm there",Claygorn said,pointing to the robot-like mechanical arm attached to Link's shoulder socket."Well,it seems fine now",Link said,rubbing the metalic screw that was attached to the nub of his former arm.
"Well sure,it's fine for picking up a mug of Jysin,but what'l happen when you get into a battle situation?Well,let's just say you'll either be totally screwed or you'll have an unimaginable advantage.It all depends on how good you'll learn to use it",Claygorn finished."Lucky for me i'm left handed",Link said,almost sputtering out a laugh."Yeah,heh.If you weren't we might have to replace another one of your arms",Claygorn responded.
