I don't know where I'm getting the time for this. If my teachers ever saw my fics, they'd want to slaughter me. If I've had the time to do this in two months, I should be doing better with my homework. Doesn't matter to me, though. I still write.
I know I don't have to update so often, but I like to. If anyone thinks that it's taking it out on my writing, then I'll update less often, but in all honesty, I'd still be writing just as fast. I would just be posting the chapters later.
As far as Ruto goes, I just never put her into this fic. I don't hate her, except in many fanfics where she acts like a bi7h because of how uncommon it is to do a Link/Ruto pairing, and I'm certainly not prejudiced against Zoras. I mean, go back and look at my reasoning for giving Malon the Zora Mask. I know I didn't word it the best way, but you get my general meaning. I really like Zoras. They're my favorite race in the Zelda universe other than Hylians. I don't know. Maybe I'll find a way to put her into the third part of this fic.
I don't have an idea right now to start a new fic, and if I forced one, it wouldn't be a good one. However, I can keep writing sequels for this one for quite a while. Of course, where's the excitement in that? I don't know. It's getting close to the end of this fic, so let's just see where things go and I'll think about what's next when I get to it. As far as trying to catch up, I've decided that it's not worth it. Nobody really seems to care if I make up the missed chapters or not, so I'm not going to worry about it either. I'm just going to keep writing.
The Deity's Escape
Chapter 19
Day Fifteen, Third Day, Seventh Three Day Cycle
Moon Arena
Six onis and six fairies appeared in the room of swirling colors. Six masks left Link and placed themselves on the walls. A mask in the back seemed to wake up. As the mask, which was identical to Link, Tael, and Fado's faces, got further away from the wall, it became more solid, until it was a whole head. A body grew down from the head. "So glad you could join me. Now I can kill you here, where nobody can hear you scream." The Fierce Deity chuckled as he drew his helical sword. "I'm going to let my six friends here get you nice and worn down for me, but the pleasure of finishing you off will be mine."
The remains came off the walls and began to transform. Odolwa, Goht, Twinmold, Tricae, and Majora were restored as smaller versions of their old selves. Gyorg became something that resembled a vicious, evil Zora. Each monster attacked one of the onis while the deity watched.
Odolwa came after Fado. They engaged in a sword fight for a while until Odolwa became tired of it. He called forth his legion of locusts. Fado was in no mood to deal with man-eating insects, so he threw a lit bomb into a remote corner of the room. Before Odolwa could react, Fado had his sword through the jungle warrior's gut.
Saria was faced with Twinmold. The monsters tried to surround her, but she unleashed a massive whirling blade attack, forcing them back. They tried to both come at her from the sides, but Saria had her bow out before they could even start moving towards her. The next thing the centipedes knew, one had a Light Arrow finding its way through its digestive tract, and the other was eating Saria's sword.
Goht rushed for Zelda. The princess rolled out of the way, causing the mechanical beast to ram its head into the wall. Before it could move, Zelda had switched to the Goron Mask and was rolling against its side, spikes extended. Goht began to smoke, and Zelda placed a bomb underneath it and retreated. The explosion blew Goht apart.
Tael's foe was Tricae. Since the monster had not been completely finished last time, he was unsure where to start. Tricae took care of this for him. Fado soon found himself faced with a Volcae. He fired off an ice arrow and cut the volcano monster in two. The pieces reformed themselves into a Daecae. After one fire arrow, the only thing that remained was a pile of ashes. The ashes became an Elecae. The Song of Storms turned the final monster into a small burst of electricity that was soon gone.
Malon was stuck fighting Gyorg. She fired her fins off at the same time he fired his, but while she was able to dodge his, hers found their mark. A pool of water opened in the floor, and Malon pulled Gyorg inside. She immediately set off her electric shield. Gyorg fought back, but in the end, he got fried.
Majora was the only foe left for Link. The wrath wrapped its whips around Link, trying to sap his energy. Link sensed what was happening, so he sent a huge surge of his energy out. The energy went down Majora's whip-like arms, dealing it great damage, before returning to Link. A few energy discs from Link's sword later, the final guardian returned to its mask.
"Well, I find this to be severely annoying. Who could have imagined that you six would so easily defeat my friends? Well, mark my words, you will not defeat me. To ensure this..." It seemed that the deity was doing two things at once. While he was saying this, it seemed that his lips and a second voice were reciting an incantation. Suddenly, all three Fair Deity Masks and Tael and Fado's Fierce Deity Masks were attached to the wall on one side of the room, surrounded by an invisible force, while another force held the masks' owners in a corner on the other side of the room. "This is between you and me, Link."
"Bring it on." Link and the Fierce Deity each stood ready for the other's attack, neither moving first. At the exact same moment, both moved and the battle was on.
I'd say that qualifies as a sort of cliffhanger! You know, I've never quite figured out why I put author's notes both before and after the chapter... It never made since in the beginning, but now it's kinda nice since I've been finishing chapters at least a day or two after I start them. I used to just sit down and write the whole thing at once, but lately it's been taking me longer. Too much homework and not enough caffeine lately, I guess. Well, I should finish my homework and get started on chapter 20!
I know I don't have to update so often, but I like to. If anyone thinks that it's taking it out on my writing, then I'll update less often, but in all honesty, I'd still be writing just as fast. I would just be posting the chapters later.
