Zelda's Public Announcement- The person writing this fan-based fictional story has no ownership over me or any of my friends or the places we've been. But they do have ownership over all new people and places. Thank you.
Once I changed into my new swimsuit, I strapped on the goggles, and jumped into the water. The narrorating words were right; I could breathe underwater with this swimsuit on. Although, the swimsuit was tight and itchy, I was all right with the breathing. But if the swimsuit gives me a rash, then I am pummeling Ruto with the blunt end of my sword. She is going to be… well we'll get to that later.
I saw Janet swimming through the water I waved at her to come over to where I was. She swam over and signaled me to follow her, and so I did. But she was swimming way too fast. I tried to signal her to slow down. Ok, one thing about swimming underwater, never race a Zora. And the suddenly, she stopped. I tried to say "Thanks for waiting.", but water just flowed into my mouth. Well, it was already in my mouth. So I just shook her shoulder for a long time. Then I turned to se what she was mesmerized at. Then I noticed a big water snake. It had teeth the same height as me and Janet combined. It's eyes glowed algae green, and its teeth were yellow. He was about two miles long? Maybe five, because he wrapped himself up into some weird, formational curl. Oh, and he had finned hands; Two pairs every half-mile, but one big pair of fins at the front, and one big pair at the back. This must have been the water beast that Ruto talked about. Then he opened his mouth. I though he was going to eat us. Instead he said, "Can I help you two ladies with something." "You can talk?" I tried to say, forcing all the energy into my voice box and belting out as much noise for each word as I could. Then I noticed I needed to talk softer. So I said the sentence above softer, but with noise for each word. And what do you know, it worked! "You can talk?" I asked. The beast and Janet obviously heard me, because Janet turned and asked, "You were there the whole time? You were so quiet, I thought I lost you!" "Not so fast next time. Okay?" I said.
"You two must be here to look at the tower, right? Well, you can help yourselves, it is worn out by some weird, black mark." The beast said. "Dark Mark." Janet and I said in unison. "Can you take us to it? I asked. The beast came out of its comfy-looking position and slithered downwards. "Sure thing, girls! Just follow me." We kept at a slow pace the whole time. Luckily, We went slow enough for me to keep up. "Hey Joan?" Janet asked, "Do you think we should go get Link and James?"
"James can't swim. And besides, we can do this on our own. We aren't little girls. Or those cartoon characters that make some weird thingy to save the kingdom, win someone's heart, get married, and live happily ever after! Are we? We can take this on our own. Besides, the others are probably busy. We can wave out the window on our way up. Then we give them details." I said.
"Good point." She said. The water beast was slithering away. And if I hadn't swum towards the tower and ran into it by accident, we would have never succeeded.
