Note: I have just noticed that somehow chapter 41 didn't get posted yesterday. Now it's been posted.
Okay, I thought I was stupid for starting the last chapter at school. At least that was on the computer in the pottery room. This is worse. I started writing this by hand in math class. I'm a fool. Even worse, I'm supposed to be working on a big project right now. This'll have to come out fast, I might go back and re-write it later.
The Deity's Escape
Chapter 14
Day Thirteen, First Day, Sixth Three Day Cycle; 7:00 AM, 71 Hours Remain
Stone Tower
Termina's savior hopefuls walked into the Stone Tower, leaving behind thirteen Elegy of Emptiness statues they had created while practicing. Ikana Valley was completely devoid of a single living, or dead for that matter, soul. They had placed the statues in strategic locations to create the illusion of inhabitants.
Not only had the Stone Tower Temple changed, but so had the Stone Tower itself. In fact, twelve switches had to be held down in order to move on. It took them over an hour to figure out the correct order for every switch in the tower, but they finally figured it out. Zelda put on the Goron Mask and dug out the resident owl statue out from under a pile of small boulders that had buried it.
"Everyone brace yourselves, and make sure you're not standing under anything," Link said with a tone that caused the others to obey first and ask questions later. Link checked his position, pulled an arrow back in his bow, muttered something under his breath, and let the arrow fly in a blinding explosion. Zelda was about to ask what the Light Arrow was for when the ground started to tilt.
"Link, what have you done?!" Everyone yelled the same question, except Tatl, who had done this before, and Malon, who had total faith in Link. Everyone fell into the sky. They fell for what seemed to be forever until they finally started to fall into a large column. Most of them figured they'd fallen back into the top of the Stone Tower. That was until they hit the underside of the top and looked down.
"Link, what did you do?" Fado was the first to get the question out.
"Listen, this tower turns upside-down. It's impossible to get to the boss unless it's upside down, so I suggest you try not to fall off the rafters or you might find yourself falling for a long time. If you start falling, you'll never stop, so just play the Song of Soaring and we'll wait for you to get back from the owl statue." None of them had ever seen this side of Link before, except Navi and Zelda in the final moments of the battle against Ganon. By that point, Tael had been wrapped up in the fight, and Malon couldn't bear to watch.
At one point, they came across five treasure chests. Link was pretty sure he knew what was in them and allowed the others to open one each. As soon as they pulled out the masks inside, he produced an identical one from his pack. "This is the Giant's Mask. It will turn you into a giant version of yourself if you put it on in Twinmold's arena."
A little later on, they were having a familiar argument. "Jump in the quicksand. That's a better idea than jumping in the hole." Nobody was looking forward to drowning in a pool of quicksand, and it was once again Tael voicing the shared opinion.
"I told you, it's not even really quicksand. It's just a thin barrier between here and the desert arena. By the way, when you get down there, don't stray too far from the middle. You'll have to make your way all the way here from the entrance. Come on, I've done this before. If you start to get worried about the fall, put on the Giant's Mask, and it'll become a fall of a few feet."
"No way, I'm not..." Tael started to say as Link pushed him into the hole. A silly grin crossed his face as he heard his brother scream. "Curse you, Link!" came out of the hole, but the voice was getting deeper, and the ground shook shortly after. "That should have hurt more," came a booming yet muffled voice from below.
"See, that wasn't so bad, now was it? Here's what I'll do. TAEL! CATCH THE REST AND SET THEM DOWN AS THEY FALL!" Link yelled as loud as he possibly could. Fado was standing on the edge, looking down nervously. "BOO!" Link's outburst caused Fado to jump and fall down the hole. They heard a growing and stretching noise, then what sounded like Fado climbing on Tael's shoulders, and a giant hand shot out of the quicksand like a platform. The girls all got on it, and as soon as the hole was clear, Link jumped.
By the time he hit the ground, he was the smallest person in the room, aside from the fairies. He saw exactly what he was expecting. Two worms were coming out of the sand. Twinmold. A noise behind him caused him to turn around. Two more. To the left, two more. This wasn't Twinmold. This was Sextupletmold. Link put on the Giant's Mask and prepared to fight.
No matter how many times they tried to strike the monsters, they never seemed to weaken. By chance, they each hit one monster at the same time, and all six gave a cry of pain. Finally, the group managed to get into a pattern, and the six Twinmold monsters were no more. They returned to normal size, collected the remains, and were taken to the realm of the giants.
"We need to know where the fifth giant is." No matter how much they asked, they got no response. Finally, Link looked at what he was standing on. It was different from before. He suddenly knew exactly where the last giant was. They were all taken back to Ikana Valley, and when Link went back in time, they all followed him, all hoping he had a good idea of where the giant was.
Yeah, the ending wasn't so good, but it was 1:30 AM by the time I finished it. I swear, I'm obsessed. You know, I don't know why I still put the day. It was originally so you could tell how long Malon and Zelda had been switched. Now it's just that I'm used to it. That and it's still kind of nice. Yeah. That's all I have time for.
