Guru-Guru: Yep. Writing without Blu again... Scary, huh?
Nayuki: Sure is, but you wrote this before you even met her, and she's gonna be the only one reading this, so what does it matter?
Asako: I don't even know why you're bothering with an A/N...
Guru-Guru: 'cause I can! And 'cause this is gonna be the second omake chapter for Rebirth of the Deity. Well, by the time anybody else reads this, it already will be...
Rebirth of the Deity
Guru-Guru: Wait, wrong heading...
The Deity's Escape
Chapter 17 1/2
Day Fifteen, Third Day, Seventh Three Day Cycle; 12:00 AM, 6 Hours Remain
Stock Pot Inn
"Thank you, Mr. Salesman for your tale, and for your help. It's almost midnight, and we need to get to the clock tower. The deity will fall, if nothing else just to repay you for your help." Zelda used the social skills she had gained from being a princess to thank the man. With that, twelve beings left the Stock Pot Inn. Anju, the innkeeper, walked up to the table where the mask salesman still sat.
"I've never heard the tale of the moon children, but I know that it was not entirely accurate the way you told it just now. Do you know the real story?"
"Yes, but I thought it would do more harm than good to tell them all of it. Few know this, but I have been gifted by the goddesses with sight of the past. I know more of the past more accurately than any historian's library you will ever find."
"Will you tell me? Please?"
"Very well. It is very similar, but also quite different. Long ago, far off in the east, past Ikana Valley, the tribe that created Majora's Mask was divided. Half of them were thought to be 'better' than the rest, and the other half attacked them for a powerful ritual mask they held. A fierce civil war broke out, and in the middle was one couple.
"A young man from the 'better' half named Takeru was deeply in love with a young woman from the other side named Majora. They had been afraid to express their love in public, but they decided to marry in order to try to put an end to the fighting. Instead, the fighing only intensified, and the desire to break the couple apart was so great that Majora and Takeru were attacked even by their own families.
"In the middle of the largest battle in the war, an assassin from Takeru's family was sent to kill Majora. Just in time, Takeru jumped in front of her, taking a spear to the heart to save her life. Although the assassin did not intend to kill Takeru, he felt he had to finish what he started. He then walked up and slashed Takeru across the chest with his twin swords. Coughing and sputtering blood, Takeru died in Majora's arms in their small house.
"Majora could not handle the death of her husband. She snuck into the great temple and stole the ritual mask. Using its power, Majora called for some way to revive Takeru. A demon goddess, the Fair Deity, descended from the heavens, wearing the gauntlet that now adorns Link's hand. Majora took the gauntlet and placed it on the arm of Takeru, who became the Fierce Deity. The two of them fled to Hyrule before anyone realized that the mask was gone and Takeru was alive.
"While in Hyrule, Majora and Takeru had a son. They were happy for a time, until the Fair Deity returned, demanding payment. Majora offered her life, but the Fair Deity wanted something else. In the end, Majora's life was taken, but not in the way she expected. The Fair Deity turned Majora into a pawn, and she made her the guardian of what was now Majora's Mask. She poured her evil will into Majora, but this took all of her life force, and she was forced to reside in the Fair Deity's Mask.
"While the Fair Deity was tainting his wife, Takeru took their child to Lon Lon Ranch and entrusted him to the family who lived there. When he returned to Majora, she turned him into the Fierce Deity and used the gauntlet to control him. The two demi-gods returned to Termina to end the battle.
"When the members of the clan saw Majora and Takeru return, they did not recognize them. What they saw was the spirit of Majora's Mask, which they only now realized wasn't in the great temple, and a warrior who was protecting her. The fighting stopped, and Majora was made into the clan's ruler. In order to enforce her rule, Majora created Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg, TwinMold, and Dark Tricae. Takeru, who was still somewhat aware of this, took the opportunity to create Light Tricae and hide it.
"Majora's wrath was terrible. Eventually, Takeru broke free from her grip and started fighting her. The battle between the two was terrible, and most of the tribe was wiped out. Takeru's greatest move was to seal Dark Tricae away under the clock tower in Clock Town. After a short while, however, he began to feel the gauntlet tainting him. Knowing that he would soon be gone, he used the gauntlet one last time.
"Before making his final wish, Takeru instructed the gauntlet to return to Hyrule. The side effect of this was that one of his descendants was destined to find it. His final wish was that he, along with Majora and the temple guardians, would be sealed away, somehow.
"In Clock Town, there were six brothers. Five of them were each friends with one of the giants. The sixth was always feeling left out and kept to himself. However, when Majora was first brought to power, the fifth giant was sealed away. The fifth guardian was created and kept below the clock tower, never coming into contact with another being until you all showed up. The fifth and sixth brothers grew closer in their loneliness, but neither stopped sulking by themselves. "When Takeru wished for the six of them to be sealed away, the side effect was that six children would have to provide the seal. Six masks were created, each resembling one of the six who were to be sealed. Each of the six brothers found a mask, and put it on. The copies of Majora's and the Fierce Deity's Masks were found by the brooding brothers. When the brothers donned the masks, they were sent to the moon realm and the first four were each assigned the task of guarding a small temple. The Majora child was to guard the room that was to one day house the battle between Majora and the descendant of hers and Takeru's son, the Hero of Time. The Fierce Deity child was lost. He was sealed away in sleep, beyond the invisible barrier of the moon field.
"Back in Termina, Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg, and Twinmold were sealed away in masks. Majora's spirit was placed in her mask, while her body was sealed in a crystal in the lower portion of the Stone Tower. Takeru's spirit was divided in two. The Deity Spirit, which had possessed him and made him evil, was sealed in the Fierce Deity's Mask. His good half was lost, to reappear centuries later in a sword by the name of Tobu-Ken. The Fierce Deity's Mask was sent to the Majora child. Majora's Mask was given back to the tribe, who hid it and disappeared soon after. The four boss remains masks were hidden away, to be awakened only by Majora. The Fair Deity's Mask, which Majora had kept, was given to the Fierce Deity child, even in his slumber.
"Peace returned to Termina for a time, until I found Majora's Mask. A naughty little Skull Kid stole the mask from me, and with it, he unleashed its terrible power on Termina. As luck would have it, he encountered Link, who had descended from the child left on Lon Lon Ranch by Takeru. He turned him into a Deku Scrub, and Link followed him to Termina.
"I knew what Link was destined to do and helped in the best way I could. I taught him the Song of Healing, for I realized that he would need to be able to become not only a Hylian, but a Deku, a Goron, and a Zora to reach his predestined meeting with Majora.
"When Link finally reached the moon, he surrendered the 20 Happy Masks he had acquired, the Couple's Mask you gave him being one of them, and he recieved the mask containing his ancestor's spirit. Thus, Majora and the Fierce Deity fought once again. Link didn't realize it, but when he defeated Majora, he did not destroy the evil in the mask, but instead, he banished Majora's spirit back to her body, where it now awaits the day it will be awakened.
"As I tell this story, Link is fighting the Fierce Deity's evil side, and he will destroy it. That will end this all.
"Now, I do not know what will happen next, but I do know the prophecies. It has now been seven years since Majora was sealed away for a second time. Sixteen years from now, the child of Link and Malon and the one who holds Tobu-Ken will be forced to retrieve the Triforce, which Link, Malon, and Zelda will lose, and they will succeed. However, when Link tries to take the Triforce of Courage back, it will go to his daughter, and he will be taken over by the Deity Spirit. He will steal Tobu-Ken, and turn him into a Hylian in order to release Majora from her prison.
"The two who retrieved the Triforce will leave to save Link and Tobu-Ken. A key will be retrieved from inside Link's daughter to release Takeru from inside Tobu-Ken. Majora will try to take Takeru's power, but she will fail. The evil will be destroyed, and Tobu-Ken will be separated from Takeru. Beyond that, I can not see any more."
"Thank you, Mr. Salesman. That was an interesting tale," said Anju.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Dotour. Now, I must be going to bed. I will be continuing on my journey tomorrow, and I need some rest." The salesman got up and walked towards the stairs, leaving Anju pondering the future in the lobby.
Guru-Guru: Heh. Anju's now Mrs. Dotour. Funny stuff there.
Asako: Idiot.
Guru-Guru: Well, who cares what you think? You thought this was a waste when I wrote this to help Blu with the slabs.
Asako: ...
Guru-Guru: Anyway, we've got three things waiting for you. First, Blu wrote a one-shot for the fic. The URL is (-prays it'll show up here- if it doesn't, go to Blu's profile [for those who have forgotten, her name's Luna-Kitsune-Blu]). Second, she drew a pic for it. It's on the site. And third, the first chapter of the next fic is up! Since FF.net doesn't like web addresses in the fics anymore, just scroll to the top of this page and click my name. Easy enough. Well, see you all there!
Nayuki: Sure is, but you wrote this before you even met her, and she's gonna be the only one reading this, so what does it matter?
