You're lucky I didn't get to write yesterday. I had only gotten one hour of sleep before due to an aforementioned lit project. The chapter that would have resulted would have made you think I was on something other than the caffeine from the 20 oz Code Red I drank. Which was not nearly enough, I might add.
The Deity's Escape
Chapter 15
Day Thirteen, First Day, Seventh Three Day Cycle; 6:00 AM, 72 Hours Remain
Clock Town
"Link, you'd better have a good explanation for going back before we could find out about that giant." They were all livid, except for Malon, of course, and Tael was once again the one verbalizing the anger, something Link couldn't quite understand from his exact copy.
"Well, besides the fact that it was 5:55 AM and the Deity was five minutes away from crashing the moon, I know where the giant is. I guess that nobody else looked down to see that we were standing on something different from the other three times. That was a clock face we were standing on." Link's voice was cold, and his hat was pulled over his eyes as he looked towards the ground, but nobody seemed to take note of this.
"What are you saying, Link? The giant is in Clock Town?" asked Navi, but Link didn't respond. He just turned around and walked into the clock tower. The others followed him down to the bottom, where he shot an Ice Arrow at the water and walked into the back of the tower, into a new temple.

Clock Town Temple
"The best part about this temple is that time doesn't pass inside the clock tower for some ironic reason. This is where I came to sleep the first time I was here. I could sleep for however long I felt like and I didn't have to worry about the moon crashing and killing me in my sleep. While I slept in here, I would dream that I was back talking to the giants, standing on a clock face, just like we were. Suddenly, the clock face would open and I would drop down here. The water would be frozen, and I would walk back here, but I would always wake up right then." Nobody could make out the expression on Link's face as he spoke, not even Malon or Navi.
Tael, who'd had the worst temper, was the first to speak. "I'm sorry we doubted you. None of us know this place as well as you do, and we got mad at you before we knew what was going on. Forgive us?" Link just stared at him with a horrible scowl on his face, but he couldn't hold it for more than five seconds before he started cracking up.
"Of course! I can see what it must have seemed like to all of you. I should have said something earlier, but I looked at my time pendant and sort of panicked. You'd think that with the Triforce of Courage... I'm sorry I didn't let you all in on this, and for the way I acted outside when you asked me about it. Come on, we'd better go wake up that giant." Link grabbed for the wrist of the nearest person (who just happened to be Malon), and dragged her into the temple while the rest followed behind.
Six simultaneous fire arrows stopped the sub-boss, who fittingly reminded Link of Volking. See, Moncae, volcano-like creatures who represent different elements rather than just fire, come in six forms, and Volcae is just one of them. Another, Daecae, holds the power of plants, so the largest, most evil of them, Licae, was quite susceptible to fire. A chest appeared and they all voted that Link should open it, just in case it was an upgrade for one of his weapons.
As Link opened the chest, he began to feel stronger. Once the lid was off, Link looked inside to see nothing. The chest was empty. Then, Fado pointed out Link's wrists. Rather than the Golden Gauntlets, Link was wearing the Titanium Gauntlets. Goddesses, how Link hated gauntlets after the past couple of months, weeks to onlookers. "What do we do now?" Asked Saria, for the only door in the room was the one they had entered through, and they had seen every part of the temple in that direction.
"Look! I recognize that symbol!" Tael pointed at the far wall. It had the same markings as many of the other blocks Link had pushed.
"You've got to be kidding me." Link walked up to the wall and pushed, despite his doubts. At first the large stone wall did not move. In a few seconds, the wall started moving. Not long after, the whole wall fell, causing the ground to shake violently and the wall to be revealed as a block that was bigger than the room they had just been in.
"Bet that tired you out," commented Tael the fairy.
"Nah. I'm not even winded," came Link's reply between gasps for air. The others just laughed at him. "Hey, if I just moved that block, think about what I'm strong enough to do to your heads!" Link grinned; he knew that would make them shut up.
It might be useful to note that I wrote the top part on Thursday. I know, I haven't updated in two days, and then when I did it was really late, but I've had a hectic week. Just add it to my tab. I'm keeping track. Actually, today I was supposed to be on chapter 49. Don't worry, I'm going to be getting a break soon, and I'll be able to get some serious writing done. Trust me, I'm as anxious as any of you are to see what happens next. Since the beginning, I've known what was going to happen at least ten chapters ahead at all times. When I started approaching chapter 20, I wasn't sure what was going to happen, and I was ready to end it. I decided not to do that, and by now, I don't know what will happen until it comes out of my fingers. I still even have to think of a boss for this temple! Of course, I can think of how to do that... I'll probably invoke Zapcae and Tricae. Trust me, it's better that you don't know... Just for future reference, the six Moncae are Volcae (the original), Icecae, Watecae, Elecae, Ticae, and Daecae. Originally, the last one was Stocae, but we decided it was a bad idea. For pictures/sprites, look at geocities.com/volcae222 . Anyway, the six Legecae are (with the evil of each pair before the good) Volking & Iceking (created by Crown Crest), Licae and Nincae (Star Crest), and Zelcae and Zapcae (Eyeglass Crest). The 3 good and 3 evil each form either Light Tricae or Dark Tricae. Yes, Licae and Zelcae are named for Link and Zelda. Those were the idea of my first reviewer/the guy referred to as Volcae on the site. By the way, in his review, he put Kan Mauro. It's Dan Mauro. You know, in case anyone wants to stalk him. Oh, someone please help me come up with a better way to phrase "the power of plants". Yeah, I'm going to get some rest so I might be able to catch up on this.
