...Damnit..!...
...I wanted to cry out of frustration...
...Could I never be relieved of my duties as a hero?...
I quickly trudged out of the shallows to Epona, breaking out into a run as I came upon my items, dormantly laying upon the moist terra firma.. Grabbing my hook shot, with longshot extension, I turned back to the water. I thought I saw it rise.. The surface of the water was broken as I saw the creature leap into the air, until submerging again. That brief and fleeting moment both astonished and frightened me. The creature was nearly invisible.. Transparent. The lingering outline of the water rolling off of it's figure was the only way I could tell it was there.
It was sleek, as if a snake, slithering it's way back into the water.. I could make out the grotesque ridges along it's face, a detailed monstrousity.. A dragon lacking limbs. Much like the firey dragon of Dodongo's Cavern. It was then I rushed towards the water, leaping into the icy depths head on as I headed towards the Zora.. My frustrated tears were hidden by the water.
That's when the Zora was temporarily dragged down.. Everything entered a state of panic. I paddled furiously, my lungs burning with the moisture that seeped into them in my rushed swim across the surface. I gasped, saving my breath as I dove beneatht he surface of the water. I regreted the fact that I hadn't enough time to slip into my Zora tunic. Narrowing my eyes, I strained to spot the creature. I could only see the transparent outline of the creature, traveling through the water. That was it's disadvantage, invisible or not, the water around it outlined it's form. The Zora began to swim away, but the creature began to rise again in it's pursuit.. It then saw me.
The brief moments I was underwater turned into hours. I saw it, rushing towards me, and my first instinct I lifted my hookshot with my right hand, placing my left palm on my right arm's joint I offered myself additional support.. I fired as the beast, jaws wide, rushed me head on.. Shutting my eyes as if to brace myself for the worst.
...Dear Goddesses...
...Din, Nayru, Faore...
...Please.. Please let this work...
I heard it's off pitch squeal, I must've hit something, and the hookshot retracted back into itself. I opened my eyes to catch a glimpse of the creature turning about, dilluted crimson blood, and it's tail swinging my way.. It was too late for me to react. I felt it, like titanium, the scales of it's tail as it swung against me.. Knocking me against the main island, above the enterance towards the water temple.. I screamed in pain. I could almost hear the cracking of my back on impact.. A fatal mistake. I quickly shut my mouth, as to not flood my lungs with the cobalt water and desperately swam up to the surface.
I barely broke the surface and caught my breath before I began to be pulled under. The dragon was circling furiously beneath me, creating a whirlpool with it's movements. It was like a vacuum was sucking into it the contents of Lake Hylia. Before the water would blurr my vision, I saw the fearful Zoras watching.. It was then I was pulled under, refocusing my vision. I saw the creature come towards me again as it ceased it's circling. I swam a little above it's jaws, but it's snout rammed me on passing, almost knocking the wind out of me.. And the cold liquid of the lake into me..I was in pain. I could feel my lungs throbbing for regulated oxygen, and my ribs and back aching. My torso had been beaten severely.
However, before the creature passed me, I was able to grasp upon one of the protruding scales about it's neck.. And pulled myself along.. The water, pushing against me, about to push me off of the creature's back.. It was built to be quick in the water, I wasn't.. I was merely a leech at that point. I couldn't harm it from the outside, the scales were far too hard to penetrate.. The only hit I got was when I aimed at it's flesh, within it's mouth. I needed a clear shot.
...Think...
...I'm running out of time...
...Out of breath...
In my haste I took my hookshot into one hand, and pressed the pertruding scale backwards with my other hand.. It was then, positioning the hookshot beneath the scale I released it into the nape of the creature's neck.. The hook went straight through it's neck and rooted itself into the ground. Convulsing, squealing, thrashing, the creature was pinned to it's doom. I could see the steady flow of crimson dilluting itself into the water. I needed to surface, fast.. But amidst the thrashing, it's almost metallic tail whipped against me as I hit the lake bottom.
Again, it did so.. Every hit, I could feel the breath fleeing my lungs.. It thrashed me again, against the gate to the Water Temple. I'm not sure if it knew the damage it inflicted upon me.. For it was in a state of dying panic. It seemed like forever.. Bit by bit, through my now blurred vision, I could see it begin to crystalize.. Slowly freezing into an agonized stature of cystal like ice.. Head first, working it's way down. However, it still continued to thrash about, knocking me into near oblivion with the last strength it had left. One last lash, hit me in my back, knocking me towards the surface, face up.
..I was on my back, I had broken the surface for a moment.. Long enough to see the fury of the water die down.. And then I felt it envelope me.. The cold of the water.
...I'm scared...
...It hurts so much...
I ached, badly.. The caress of the water was of little comfort as it took me into it's deadly grasp. It taunted me.. It hurt me.. I could feel my lungs become inflamed.. And that feeling of hopelessness.. That it was the end.. Futile sparked tears in my eyes.. They were drowned out by the water, as I would soon be. I felt it, running around my body, the delicate grasp of the water.. Or what I thought was the water's grasp, atleast.. I heard the voices again, of those aquatic lifeforms, the Zoran people. It was their grasp, slipping underneath my arms with care.. I could only see a flurry of blue hues.. I hoped.. Whatever they were doing.. That it'd work..
