CHAPTER ELEVEN
"WHAT?!" screamed the voice Bryn had heard taunted her the whole time. "HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THIS?!"
Bryn ventured deeper into the room. There was a small island in the middle; she climbed up to it and looked around the circular room.
"I survived because I am a thief. A stealthy one," Bryn replied quietly. "I am a Gerudo."
"LIAR!" screamed the voice. "GERUDO'S ARE NOT ZORAS!"
"I am not a Zora. I am Bryn the Changer, the Changer Who Sees All." Bryn held her staff out. "Now, if you are not too afraid, I am ready to see you meet you doom."
There was a scream of rage and in the giant water was suddenly what looked like a paper-white, huge, worm with gills and horns. It bared its teeth at Bryn. Bryn was not afraid, even when its tail with spikes at the end flew by her face. All she did was lash at the tail.
"DO NOT HURT MY CHILDREN!" shrieked the voice, and suddenly there was the same thing, but about ten times bigger, soaring in the sky over her head. "I AM THE FRAIUTH FATHER!!!!!!!!! TODAY, YOU SHALL DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"
The Fraiuth Father tried to chomp down on Bryn, but she sidestepped the monster's mouth and stuck her staff in its side. He screamed, "CHILDREN! DESTROY THE ZORA/GERUDO!"
The mini-Fraiuths came at Bryn. She lashed out at them and sent them flying, killing them.
"NO FAIR!" she cried as she last one was flung against the wall. "WHY DO YOU GET MORE ALLIES? WAAAAAAAAY MORE!"
"YOU GOT MORE ALLIES FIGHTING ROMNEY, THE WATER-WINDER!!!!" roared the Fraiuth Father, and leapt at Bryn on the island. This time Bryn was not swift enough to dodge the attack. She was thrown into the water with a scream.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" the Fraiuth Father screeched. "YOU WILL DIE, SAGE, AND I WILL EAT YOU LIKE I ATE YANNABOORU!"
Luckily, Bryn was still a Zora, so she could breathe underwater. Suddenly, she slapped herself in the face and waited for the Fraiuth Father to come nearer. When the Fraiuth Father came near, she swam towards it, and, the second before they collided, she put on her magical shield.
It hurt the Fraiuth Father and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Bryn took advantage of this and began punching and kicking the Fraiuth Father. When her hands got tired, she pulled out her staff and lashed at the beast. The water soon got clouded with blood. Through the blood she saw – and heard – the Fraiuth Father get up with a shriek. The Fraiuth Father dove at Bryn, who was too surprised to put on her magical shield in time. She got attacked. The teeth of the Fraiuth Father ripped into her shoulder. She gave a yelp of pain and dropped to the sand. She somersaulted out of the way of the Fraiuth Father, dodging the razor teeth.
Bryn leapt up, warm blood dripping down her arm. She panted, and saw the Fraiuth Father swimming nearer and nearer, teeth bared...
She swung the staff and hit the Fraiuth Father with the butt of the staff right on his head. The long spikes on its tail whipped towards her. The spikes missed completely, but the tail caught her legs from under her and she fell to the sand.
"GO, MY FRAIUTH CHILDREN! NOW!" screeched the Fraiuth Father.
The Fraiuth Children came from every direction. Bryn, wielding her staff the sword way, destroyed the mini-Fraiuths. She then turned to the Fraiuth Father and spat, "This duel ends with us. No interference."
"YOU ARE AN IGNORANT FOOL!!!!" hollered the Fraiuth Father.
"Aye, I may be, but at least I have killed all who have tried to harm me!" Bryn sidestepped the Fraiuth Father and yelled, "ROMNEY WILL NOT BE THE LAST, FRAIUTH FATHER!"
Bryn leapt from the ground and hurled herself at the Fraiuth Father, putting on her magic shield. Fraiuth Father fell to the ground and Bryn, gasping for breath and battle-worn, yelled, "THIS IS FOR YANNABOORU, SAGE OF THE SEA TEMPLE!" She drove her staff into the Fraiuth Father's neck, screaming her war cry:
"KILLEM! SLAYYEM! DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATH!"
The Fraiuth Father gave a scream of pain and tried to wriggle out of the pain, lashing his tail. The spikes hit Bryn and she gave a shout of dismay as she was flung against the wall and blacked out.
Bryn woke with a groan. She saw a heart container in the middle of the floor where the Fraiuth Father had been slain and doddered over to it. She picked it up and felt her energy returning. She saw something in the sand and knelt to pick it up. She rubbed away the sand on the object and found that it was a stone. Something was carved on it. She pulled it out and read the following:
Congratulations, Sage. You have saved the Sea Temple. I knew that you could do it. Why else would I have put this here? Anyways, thank you, whoever you are.
With love from your processor Sage,
Yannabooru
Bryn gazed at the last words that her sister had ever carved. Below it was also something else:
PS Use the Ocarina of Time to help the newest Hero. Also, play this song.
There were circles with four small circles in them. Some of the circles with colored in, and some of them had five circles in them. Bryn pulled out her Ocarina and put it to her mouth. She figured out how the symbols worked and played the song. It sounded sort of desert-ish. She finished, and saw a warp appeared before her. Putting away the Ocarina of Time and picking up the stone tablet, she walked into the warp as she sheathed her staff.
She felt herself warp to a room. She saw something glittering in the dull light of the room and knew what it was. She reached for the Master Sword and held it. She tested the sword's edge and nicked herself. She hurriedly shoved it through her belt next to her staff and went to the warp. She was warped out of the Temple and into the room where Rafiki still lay. She gently took his body from the spike and swam from the Temple and into the light of the sea.
Bryn swam hurriedly when she heard a shout.
"HEY! Where are you goin' with a staff, a sword, and..." the voice screamed. "THAT'S MY SON'S BODY! MURDERER! MUDERER!"
Fish men were coming out of every crack and crevice, ready to attack the murderer.
"STAY BACK!" hollered Bryn. "I did not slay the Fraiuth Father to be slain by Rafiki's father!"
"He knew my son's name!" exclaimed the first Fish man. "He knew Rafiki!"
"Rafiki died slaying the evil Romney the Water-Winder," explained Bryn. "We were searching for the Master Sword in the Sea Temple, where I am now Sage."
There were excited mutters around the room.
"No one has gone into the Sea Temple and come out alive without at least something wrong with them," objected a Fish woman.
"Something IS wrong with me, though," Bryn interrupted. They looked at her surprised. "I am a Gerudo."
"You're a Zora!" cried the Fish woman.
"No. I am Bryn the Changer."
There were more mutters. Then the Fish woman bowed. "I am Drusilla, and that is my nephew. If you will allow us, we will bury him."
Bryn gave the body to Drusilla and bowed. "I am honored to have known Rafiki."
"He made us all proud," whispered Rafiki's father, and the Fish men and women drifted away.
Bryn gave one last look at the body of her friend Rafiki, and then swiftly swam away, going in the direction that she knew what Dragon Roost Island.
() JUST A QUCIK NOTE: The Song she used in the Sea Temple to make the warp was supposed to be the Gerudo Valley Song. I love that song! ()
