CHAPTER THREE - TUSKATZE TRIALS

Resuum fell through the dark air at a rapid pace.

When will this end? He thought. And as I said those words, I slowed down and came to a stop. The darkness around me dissapated, and I checked my surroundings.

I was in a dingy cell, and there were four doors around me: In front, there was a door marked 'Clock Town'. To my right, a door marked 'Maetrix3' Behind me, A door marked 'Hyrule'. To my left, a door marked 'Tuskatze'.

Finally, I thought. The Trials, and Master Anafei's legacy.

I walked up to the door and put my hand on the handle..but stopped. And listened. What was that? It sounded.like the Song of Healing..

I turned the handle and stepped through the door.

A wonderful sight was before me. A city, dead for millenia, its stone buildings crumbling and withering. But it looked so beautiful in the sunset. Before me, there was a path that led up to what could only be described as a cathedral. I walked along this path, taking in the wonder all around me. (A/N: This is an alternate universe place of Ikana Canyon but with different buildings. Fingers crossed for Stone Tower Temple!).

I soon came to the doors of the building. A sign on the door, engraved in Hylian, then an unknown language beneath it, said:

'Welcome to Tuzkatze Temple. The Three Trials and Majora's Mask lie within.'

"Well, this is it." I said to myself. I pushed wide open the doors.

"Oh my Ladies Three.." I said astonished.

The whole room around me was upside down! I dared to look down off of the ledge in which I stood. A vast expanse of sky. One trip, and this quest is over. Across from my ledge, there was another ledge, with an engraving on it that looked like the ones on the scroll. But there was no way I could reach it now. It was simply too far away. Maybe I'll find a bridge switch to activate somewhere.

There were two doors on the left hand wall, one with swirls and one with triangular swirls. I went through the former.

I was in a room with a pedestal in front of me. On top of that there was a glass orb, which I walked over to and looked into.

Inside, there was a thick fog, nothing else. Slowly it began to change form. Slowly, a small brown cube image appeared inside the crystal, and it began to spin, faster and faster and faster.

It was at this point when I looked up and saw the room spinning around me. I closed my eyes and rubbed them, then opened them again. No change.

"Oh dear!" I said.. " If the door doesn't stand still, then I'll never get out!!"

I began to panic. How can you get out of a spinning room? Then it hit me. The orb! I had to break it!

I took out a small mallet that used to be my mentor's weapon, and swiftly brought it down on the orb.

CLANG!! Nothing!!! I tried again and again, but the glass would not break!!

I slumped to the floor. I couldn't bear it. I had failed everything. My quest, my mentor and myself.

By chance I looked at the orb, and noticed the cube inside it. It was still spinning. I suddenly remembered something Master Anafei had told me:

"Remember, Resuum, to think is to create, and to will is to control."

That got me thinking. Could I stop the box from spinning? Well, it was worth a go.

I stared hard at the cube. Stop, I told it. I will you to stop, thus I control you, The cube stopped spinning. As did the room. Letters now appeared inside the orb.

You have passed the Maze of the Mind. Telekinesis has awakened inside you. Exit and enter the Maze of the Body.

And so I did just that.

When I had entered the room, the door behind me barred shut by itself. I observed the room.

It was like a passage dug out of the earth, and I could see boulders rolling around. Wait. above me, floating in midair, was a silver rupee.

I decided to try to find a way out of the room, dodging the boulders that could turn corners by themselves. As I made my way around the chamber, I saw even more rupees, seven in total, all in hard to reach places. Maybe I could use telekinesis to bring the rupees to me, and maybe something would happen if I collected all of them, I thought. And I could also make a tidy sum, too.

I gazed at one of the rupees willing it towards me. Nothing happened. Perhaps I could use telekinesis on myself? So I tried. Not a thing.

Suddenly I was thrown to the floor, my side searing with pain. A boulder had crashed right into me. I rolled out of its path, before it crushed me, only to find I was in in front of another one. Jumping up quickly (which was hard to do; my side hurt badly) I limped over to what looked like a set of stairs, which I hastily climbed.

Damn It!! Damn It by Din's Inferno! I thought. I then remembered a red potion in my backpack, which I hastily took a draught of it, and felt my bashed abdomen repairing itself. But I was still angry at the damn Trials. Looking around, I noticed that if I jumped, I could reach one of the rupees. And safely land on another raised platform. And so, I jumped.

As soon as I got within distance, I grabbed the rupee, which made a strange twinkling sound, and landed safely on the opposite ledge. Perfect. I pocketed the money.

Another rupee lay on the platform across from mine, and stepping over the gap, I managed to claim it. It too made a jingle, but this was higher than the first.

In order to get the next rupee, I had to jump back onto the floor, and dodge through three boulders, but it showed to be just a matter of dexterity. And before I knew it, I had grabbed rupee#3

The rest of the rupees proved to be just as easy. I had the in no time. When I had grabbed the last one, lying in the path of a boulder, the door that I had came through opened. When I reached it, I saw a message on it saying:

"Your agility and dexterity have been greatly improved. You can move so fast, that people will not see it. Now, prepare for your final task."

I opened the door, and I already knew what the next challenge would be. I had to leap the chasm.

I backed up from my platform as much as I could. I kept telling myself "Just have faith" and "To will is to control". And before I knew what I was doing, I had leapt.

I was soaring through the air. It was an amazing feeling. I could feel the cool breeze on my face. And then I opened my eyes.

I wasn't going to make it. I was only halfway.

Oh no! What have I done!! I' ve failed for sure!! No!!! It can't end like this!!

I shut my eyes and prepare to fall into the sky.. . .

I had stopped moving.

I opened my eyes, and found that I was simply floating in midair. My telekinesis!!!!!

Slowly I began to 'swim' through the air towars the platform. Phew. That was far too close. I hope this mask is worth it.

I landed on the platform seconds later, and approached the door. Yes. This was it.

I felt the tension rise up in me as I pushed open the door.

The room beyond was in total darkness. I could just make out the forms of pillars scattered around the room, and many had fallen down and crumbled to dust.

But right before me was my prize. Majora's Mask.

I raced towrds it. So beautiful..so elegantly made, yet..

I feared it. I could feel an evil aura around the mask. It made me shiver all over.

I wished I no longer had the mask. But I couldn't just leave it. My Mentor wanted me to have it. And so, I placed it securely in my backpack, taking it home with me to Hyrule.

But as you all know, I was later ambushed by a SkullKid and had the mask stolen from me. But that kid, Link, got it back for me. Sure, he took forever and had to go back in time several times, but I managed to get the mask, and when I did, I found that all of the evil presence had disappeared from it.

I now use Majora's Mask as a cereal bowl.

__~*~__

Well, he finally got the Mask back. And next he'll be telling us where he got the BloodPain mask.it's a very..horiffic..one. Stayed tuned. BTW my other story, Seven Sages is up, so go R&R this, then R&R that.

See ya soon...
