Chapter 3

They arrived at the beach. The journey had taken only a few seconds thanks to skull kids teleportation power.

Skull kid crossed over to the water. "I think I'll warm things up," he said and reached his hand into the cool sea. "Boil" he said. The water instantly heated up.

He spotted a structure out at sea. It was shaped like a fishes tail and was about 60 metres out of the water. WALK ON WATER MY POWERFUL FRIEND, the voice in skull kids head said. Skull kid laid a sandaled foot onto the surface of the water, but instead of falling in he kept on walking, as though on land. He walked all the way to the strange structure, which took a few minutes, and saw a flustered looking creature. It was a zora, an aquatic creature. The zora had blue wings sprouting from her back and was wearing a blue dress. She seemed not to be able to speak.

"Fog," said skull kid as he pointed out to sea. A strange mist covered the entire ocean around the structure, called Zora hall.



"Now we should go to the canyon," said Tael. He had been very quiet since the skull kid had found the mask the day before.

They disappeared into a ball of flames. They arrived at the canyon. There was music, and a giant music box, seemingly powered by the river.

"What would happen without the river to power that music box? We'll soon find out!" and as Skull kid spoke power exploded from his lips and the river stopped flowing. The music stopped.

"I call a dead spirit to keep the river's flow stemmed.!" he said. An evil cackle sounded in a cave behind them.

A Poe floated there. "That music kept the dead away. You have cursed Ikana and all it's residents, mostly dead." She disappeared. As she disappeared a scientist appeared from inside the music box.

"AAAHHH!!! GIDIBOS!!!" he screamed. Skull kid muttered and the man fell over. Suddenly the man began to squirm. Bandages appeared on his face and soon covered his entire body.

"DADDY! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" A little girl had appeared from behind the scientist. She grabbed her daddy and pulled him inside, locking the door behind her. Skull kid, Talt and Tael had already disappeared, leaving a patch of burnt earth behind.

"They still do not come!" shouted skull kid. "I have destroyed this land and ruined the lives of its inhabitants but still they do not come!" He levitated a stone and threw it at a tree, chipping off much of its bark.

DESTROY THE LAND. CRUSH IT. THE MOON. The mask gave skull kid a plan. It was night time and the moon was distant.

"COME CLOSE! DESTROY THIS LAND! CONSUME! CONSUME EVERYTHING!" Though skull kids lips moved it was not his voice that came out. Skull kid remembered only flashes of what followed in the next three days.

A boy. I steal his horse. I make him a deku. I leave Talt behind. The moon is crying. It's tear is pretty. I would like a moons tear. I feel tired. I hear voices. I am up high. I hear bells and fireworks. Tael speaks. I slap him. I feel sad now. I see lights. I remember no more.

The skull kid woke up. He was lying on top of the clock tower. A beam of light shimmered in front of him. He saw the giants, and smiled, nearly fainting with delight, until he remembered his crimes.

"My friends. I am sorry. The mask made me do it." he said, weeping into his palms.

Then, out of the light came a boy. He wore green clothes and had a fairy with him. The skull kid remembered him, though did not remember where from. "I am Link, the hero of time," he said. Then skull kid passed out.

When skull kid came to he saw the boy and the mask man. He had Majora's mask in his hands. He looked very pleased. They all spoke, but Talt spoke last.

"Skull kid, Tael, I must leave you. I must travel with Link. Farore, Din and Nayru came to me in a dream. They told me I must help link defeat Gannon. Goodbye." And before anyone could answer Link and Talt had jumped on a horse and were riding away.

But Link through something back. It was a flute. Skull kid cried, "Goodbye Link, hero of time. I shall meet you again. Link and Kalo best friends!" And he ran off.
