A.N- Hey, I told you I'd write more after the weekend. Took me a while just
because I didn't feel like writing but I made myself. I had a field trip to
the beach for tidal pool studies and such I got poison ivy and my banana
blew up in my vest pocket. So, writing wasn't the first priority... but I had
nothing else to do in English or Pre-calc. Therefore, I wrote. New York
was fun. Broadway shows are great. Go see 'Wonderful Town'. Here you go
then. Another part of the epic poem!
The Heroes of Time
Part 5
Through the mazes they traveled,
To be chased by the things
Of spirits unraveled.
When at the entrance
Of the foliage temple,
They found that to enter
Wasn't so simple.
They needed a tool
That could hook up above
Into a tree
Or into an alcove.
The mysterious man
All clad in white,
Appeared out of nowhere
The teens turned to fight.
He went and told them
That out in the village
There were some old graves
Quite ready to pillage.
The kids, though confused,
Looked at the man,
He took out a harp
And stated his plan
Of teaching a tune
To bring them right back,
The Minuet of Forest,
They blinked at this fact.
He taught them the song
And then in a flash
He vanished away
The teens were abashed.
Through the forest again
But now going out,
To Kakariko Village,
Link let out a shout.
Then they all saw
A short little kid,
The one from the market
Who had gone off and hid.
They went up and asked him
Of why he was short,
He turned and ignored them
And left with a snort.
They told them their sorrys
And asked him to stay
He nodded his head
Then all on their way,
Through the small lonely village
To the grave yard,
They pushed open graves
Under the stars.
The Poes, they just watched,
And one came really near
He said he was Draeb,
He was nothing to fear.
He kept away
All other foes,
Down the grave they dropped
Could they really trust Poes?
Poes are solid ghosts
With dimly lit lanterns,
They all love to wander
In similar patterns.
They all told each other
They'd think of that later,
When an old ghost appeared
And told them their fate.
"Please follow me,
For if you can
You'll get a tool
That is held in your hand.
That will help you in travels
All over the land
The hook shot, it's called,
It'll help with your plans."
He moved through stone mazes
Setting some fires,
Through stairs and some zombies
And strange indoor mires.
They all reached the end
Quite out of breath,
The ghost turned around
They all expected death.
"You pass!" he said
With a big toothy grin,
"And this is the tool
I said you would win."
They took the object
And left the grave,
Two into a hall
Three back into the mazes.
Sond and Link, in the hall,
Walked into a place
With a skinny small man
With a scowl on his face.
The floor in the middle
Of the place turned,
And the anger in the man
Rose up and it burned.
"The kids!" he yelled,
"Played this bad song,
It made the clouds rain
'Till break of dawn."
He played it first
The other two followed,
It started to rain
And the angry man bellowed,
"It happened again!
Get out of my face!"
Out ran the teens,
Of the windmill place.
The other three traveled
Back how they came,
Into the grave yard
No trouble to blame.
Draeb had showed up
And told of a grave
That could teach them a song
That brought sun in waves.
To the back of the grave yard
To the royal family grave,
A lightning bolt struck
A dark road it did pave.
Two more Poes showed up,
One named Sharp, one named Flat,
They taught them a song
They got it down pat.
Change the sun to the moon
And the moon to the sun,
With this song in their hands
Their task here was done.
They met with each other
In front of the town,
Taught the songs to one another
Then they all looked down.
"What is your name?"
Asked Kat to the kid.
"I don't care what you call me,
I am Timbre or Tim."
They all nodded heads
Now fully prepared,
Played the Minuet of Forest
To the forest they fared.
A.N- Well, longer than the others I must say... but not by much. It came out
well for only a few class periods. But I swear this will be the end of me.
You know, this might actually be the first thing I will ever finish... for I
am notorious for never finishing ANYTHING... ;; Silly me... I guess I suck.
No worries. Thank you for all the reviews. It keeps me going. Now if I
could get more initiative for finishing everything else I'd be set!
