One thing about this chapter. The temple that this chapter refers to is not woodfall's temple. Just another temple that exists in Termina. Hope that the temple part will not confuse too many people...

ACT ONE, SCENE FIVE: THE ASTRAL LABORATORY AND THE SWAMP TEMPLE

As Colette made her way to the top of the Astral Laboratory the old man that yelled at her before said, "My, you seem pretty old to be a bomber. What brings you here?" Colette told him the situation. Where she was from and what she is setting out to do.

"Quiet a story you have told me," the old man said. "If you are looking for Majora, then I suggest you try looking through my telescope. You might find something or someone that could help you."

As Colette peered through the telescope, she noticed an ominous light, just like the light that appeared before she was transported into Termina, coming from the swamp.

"Could you please tell me where that light is coming from?" Colette asked. The old man peered into the telescope. "Ah, yes!" he exclaimed. That light is coming from the swamp. You seemed interested in going, yes?"

Colette knew that she had to go. It was the only way to stop the moon from falling. "Yes," she said at last. "Do you have directions in getting there?" The old man gave her directions to the swamp saying, "Are you sure you're going alone? It is dangerous out there all by your lonesome." Colette nodded and thanked him accordingly. The old man added as she left, "goodbye and good luck." As Colette disappeared from his sight, the old man thought to himself, "You'll need all the luck in the world if you hope to destroy that mask."

The sun was merciless. It was very hot and steamy. Colette treaded through the swamp. On the way, she overheard some of the locals talking about a temple that is said to keep the fragments of a destroyed mask. Colette asked where the temple might be. She was given directions to where the temple might be. As she walked on, she glanced at the moon. The moon was slowly but surely moving to clock town. "No matter what," Colette thought. "I must stop the moon from falling."

Upon the entrance of the temple, Colette could sense that this was an evil place, not to be reckoned with. She knew that she had to get in and out very quickly. As she made her way to the deepest parts of the temple, she saw it. A mask that was radiating with an evil aura. Colette had found it! Majora's Mask! She quickly drew her charkhams in an attempt to destroy the mask. Just then, a flash of light appeared.

"Who dares to defile this sacred place!" roared the guardian. "Who are you?" Colette asked. "I am the guardian who guards this mask. No man must ever touch this mask as long as it exists." "I came here to destroy it!" Colette said in a defiant tone. "A futile effort," said the guardian. "Not even the Chosen of Sylvarant could destroy the mask." "How did he know that I was the chosen?" Colette thought to herself. "Never mind about that," Colette said. "Prepare yourself!"

The guardian was strong. His agility unmatched. Colette tried her hardest to defeat him but couldn't even lay a scratch. "Your resistance is futile," he said. "You pose no threat." Colette had an idea. She dodged behind where the mask lied. The guardian shot a blast of light. The mask deflected the shot and the guardian was struck.

As he started to disappear, the guardian said, "Oh, Chosen One… What will now come to pass is tied to your fate—the path that you have chosen. Go forward with caution." And with that, he disappeared.

"I…did…it!" Colette gasped. She couldn't believe herself.

"You certainly have."

Colette was not alone. She turned to the mask. Then she saw the mask floating all by itself.

Now that's an eerie mask. Please R&R and find out what happens to Colette
