CHAPTER 12

Memory Removal Gas

"I think Zelda's suspecting something…."

"Why would you think that?"

"I've been snooping around, watching her lately. She hasn't even spent much time with Link today."

"Really?"

"Yes, I hurried back here to tell you. Last I saw her, she was on her way to the swamp."

"So? What's your point you stupid bug?"

"I'm saying, that for some reason, she's remembering things she's not supposed to."

A dark figure jumped up from his seat in the dimly lit room. "What do you mean?!"

"She's starting to remember the past."….

Zelda looked up at the tall tower in the middle of the swamp. She wondered what was in the highest room. The ladder was at least twenty feet tall. She sighed. "Here goes nothing."

Zelda quickly climbed the ladder and stepped into the small shop. When she stepped inside, she saw many pots resting on shelves all over the room. She heard a faint breathing sound, more like snoring.

"Excuse me? Is someone there?", Zelda asked, cautiously moving closer to the desk. Something moved in the darkness. A loud screech was heard from the moving lump. Zelda jumped back, afraid of who or what it was that was at the counter.

Two, large pair of eyes glowed from within the darkness. "Eh? … oh, a customer…", it shrieked. A dim light lit behind a small, old woman. She moved to the side, standing up on a small platform. "Can I help you?"

The cracked smile of the old woman disturbed Zelda very much so. "Err, yes…. I was wondering if you knew anything about some kind of spell that makes you forget?", she asked. Zelda couldn't help notice how sickly green the woman's skin was. She also had an odd looking hat on.

"Well dear, your going to have to be a bit more specific with that. There are many memory loss spells out there. How long are we talking about?"

"Well…. How about knowing about just one event in your life. Like it never happened.", she struggled. She wasn't very sure how to explain. This had been just thrown on her lap.

"Hmmm… Does this concern something that happened to you?", the old hag inquired. She was already starting to think about it.

"I have had some… dreams about things that I'm not recalling I did. When I was a child, I think I met a boy, I think we were really good friends. That's all I know. I also heard about the legend of the boy who saved this town from Majora. I think it might be linked to me.", she stated.

"Yes, I know what you are talking about.", she answered. The old hag's eyes lit up as if she was reminiscing on something. "I remember a boy who helped me when I got attacked by the wretched skull child. Ah, yes, that was the boy who fought Majora."

"Yes, I know this. It seems only some can remember the boy. Only the people who didn't live in Clocktown.", pointed Zelda. Something was starting to click. "Wait. The guards never even left the town. They must have assumed the only inhabitants were in the town!"

The old hag smiled cheerily. "Hmmm… looks like you've found something out there…. What else do you wish to know then?"

Zelda came back from her own self congratulating , and remembered why she had come in the first place. "Yeah, do you know anything about that spell?"

The hags eyes shot upward in thought. "…. Actually yes. It isn't a spell though, it's a sort of potion gas. It makes you forget a specific event in your life. It erases what it needs to and inserts false memories into the gap. Yes, it's called….", she went into a thinking trance once more. Seconds later, her pointed finger shot up. "Ah, it was called 'memory removal gas'! Yup, that's what it was."

Zelda's heart jumped with hope. "So, do you think there's a remedy to thins stuff?" Maybe, while she was getting her memories back through dreams, she could give Link's back.

The woman jumped down from her step, and disappeared behind a curtain. Zelda could hear books being shifted. A loud thump was heard with an 'ouch!'. She tried to lean over the counter in hope of seeing what was going on.

Zelda quickly moved back when she saw the hag come back. She was holding a rather large, dusty, leather book. The hag stepped back onto her platform and heaved the large book onto the counter. Zelda coughed from the amount of dust she breathed in.

The hag flipped through the pages, carefully skimming the contents of each page. Her bonny finger stopped on something. Zelda tried to lean over and look at it.

"Ah, HA!", she screeched. The loud, shrill voice of the hag was starting to get to Zelda. She rolled her eyes.

"There is a way to get your memories back.", she stated, reading more of the page. She frowned. "Oh, but your going to have to find some very rare ingredients."

Zelda was happy enough that there was a cure. "Well, do you think I could write it down or something?", she asked.

The woman looked around for a piece of parchment, but settled for tearing off an add for the shop that was tacked to the wall. She grabbed a quill and started writing down the needed items onto the back of the paper.

"This is all you need to make the antidote. Only six items, but I warn you. It will be dangerous getting these things. That's why they are so rare." The hag handed her the paper, and Zelda took it willingly, putting it in her dress pocket.

"Thank you for your help. Truly.", said Zelda graciously, as she exited the small cabin and made her way out of the swamps.

It was dark by now. She had spent the whole day trying to figure out what was going on, and she still had not a clue. "Shit!", she cursed, remembering that she wanted to ask the hag one more question. The question was if she knew why the guards would want to erase the memory of the villagers. Maybe if she knew the answer to that she would have a clue as to why she didn't have her memories.

Now was not the time to think about that. It was dark, and it was late. This was the first time she had been out in the dark since…that night. She was scared. What made her worry even more was, what was Link doing right now? He might be a worried wreck.

Trees surrounded her path, making it more dark and blocking the moonlight. She started to feel uneasy. With every odd sound the wooded path had, she was speed up fast. By now she was taking long strides.

"Be calm Zelda. Your being stupid. Your almost out. ", she told herself. It wasn't helping. It was just making her more anxious.

A low, growling sound was heard behind her. Her body tensed up. 'o crap…', she thought. Slowly and stiffly, she turned around to see what was behind her. Nothing.

Her eyes darted around to find the least bit of movement. Still nothing. "Okay….", she said nervously.

Just as she was about to turn back around and continue her walk, she felt raiser sharp claws digging into her back. She screamed out in pain through clenched teeth. No doubt it was a wolfos. She fell to the hard ground with the beast still intact to her skin.

She heard it cry out as it kept slashing at her. All she felt was the stinging pain of each slash. She arched her back in pain crying out for someone to save her. Things were getting blurry. Taking one last look around, she saw someone coming towards her with a large sword. She felt dizzy as she became deadweight.

…Zelda was watching over Hyrule from her room. When was Link going to come back? It had been two months, her birthday was tomorrow. Sorrow swept through her as she came to the conclusion that Link's promise was only to make the goodbye easier.

A single tear crept down her cheek. 'Nyru, Faore, and Din. I pray to thee. Please send Link back to me safely', she prayed silently in her head.

A gust of wind flew into the room, making the curtains flow up. Zelda giggled as her blonde hair tickled her face. She had been answered.

She looked out towards the out walls of the market. What she saw made her heart jump. It was Link and Epona! The small girl smiled from ear to ear as she ran outside and down the path to the village. Guards from the gate yelled at her to stop and come back, but she just ignored their pleas.

She ran as fast as she could to the boy. By now she had reached the vines that Link would always use to visit her. She stopped to breath, and leaned against the wall.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw what she had prayed for so long. She looked up to meet eyes with Link. He smiled widely and ran to her.

When they got in reach, he embraced her in a hug, twirling in the process. "Your back!", she squealed happily. Link let her down from the hug. She had to grip his shoulder for balance.

After the dizziness subsided, she stood firmly on the ground waiting for her friend to stop laughing from her unbalanced performance. "Yeah, and guess who I found just in time.", he pointed to a floating fairy above him. "Navi, this is Zelda, Zelda, Navi."….

Zelda woke up in a small room. She moaned when she started to feel pain in her back. "What happened?", she asked herself.

"You were attacked by a wolfos.", a low voice answered. Zelda still hadn't opened her eyes yet. She was startled to hear someone answer her question. A man's hand took hers.

She slowly opened her eyes to see who it was. Link was sitting beside her, now squeezing her hand. "Link?", she asked still drowsy.

"Are you alright?", he asked concerned. Zelda looked around the room. It was small, white. She guessed she was in some sort of clinic. A hooded man stood in the corner. Toby.

"How did I get here?", she asked, trying to sit up, but failing miserably. Now she was the one to squeeze Link's hand.

"Toby and me went out to look for you. He found you in the woods by the swamp. You were being attacked. He saved you.", Link explained. He didn't seem too happy to though.

"Link… I'm sorry. I had to go out.", she apologized. She looked over to Toby. "Thank you Toby. I would have died if it weren't for you."

Link spoke up now. "I think you should get some rest, Zel. You've had a hard day. We can talk about this tomorrow. She could tell he wasn't pleased in his voice.

Link and Toby exited the room for her to sleep. Zelda thought about what she had just dreamt.

"Why can't I find out the whole story in one sitting?", she complained. Okay, what she already knew was that Link was he best friend, he had found Navi, saved the moon in three days, and…. That's it. Why would someone erase that?

She put the subject aside to get some rest. Hopefully, she might get more information through more dreams…
