THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE CHOSEN'S MASK
ACT TWO, SCENE FIVE: WOODFALL TEMPLE
As the group entered the temple, they found that the temple itself changed shape. There were paths where there were pits before; ladders that appeared when you stepped on secret steps; and mysterious voices calling out in the darkness.
"Don't you have a map Link," Mido asked. "It's annoying that we don't know where we're going."
"Yes," Link replied. "But since the temple changed shape it's useless. Rooms that weren't here before are here and paths appeared where there were pits before."
"What ever happened to your keen sense of direction, Mido," Saria asked.
"The hot air you keep blowing blew it away," Mido replied.
"Is it really necessary for you to be such a jerk, Mido," Zelda asked.
"Not really," Mido replied. "It's like my thing!"
Colette was idly walking behind the others. Link spun around and asked, "Colette, are youalright?"
"I'm fine," she said. "Just thinking about stuff…"
"Alright…" Link replied. He still wanted to know many things about her.
As time progressed, the group eventually made its way to the inner chambers of the temple.
"Are we there yet?" Mido sighed.
"Almost," Link replied. "Don't worry, we'll be out really soon."
Zelda, also feeling restless, said, "It feels like we have been in here forever. I don't even know what time is it…"
"Don't worry about that," Saria said. "With the song of inverted time, it should have been only a few hours."
The group finally reached the room where the giant of the Woodfall temple laid sealed.
"This is it," Link said. "Is everyone ready?" Everyone nodded. "Then let us proceed."
As the group entered the room, a voice was heard from above. "Who dares defiles my sacred ground?"
After the voice spoke, a warrior with a sword and shield appeared. His body was covered with a variety of colors. He wore to blue earrings and danced around the room.
"So you're the intruders! The giant tried to make a break for it when he heard you were here! You'll pay for this!"
"Link, any explanation at all would be nice," Mido said.
"The Masked Jungle Warrior, Odolwa," Link said. "Not a terrible threat but dangerous none the less. Be careful."
"Not a threat, eh?" replied Odolwa. "It is you that pose no threat to my superiority!"
"This guy has a bigger ego than Saria does..." Mido said.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that, Mido," Saria replied.
And with that, Odolwa spun around with his sword in a circular motion. Saria, using her knowledge as a forest sage, used the vines to whip Odolwa up and Zelda used her bow and arrows on him. He blocked with his shield. Mido tried using his slingshots against him. No effect. Link used his sword but Odolwa jump and attacked him from behind.
"He's tougher than he looks," Link said. "He wasn't like this before. Maybe Majora gave him a power boast."
"Hey, Colette!" Mido shouted over to her. "You can join the battle too if you're not too busy!"
Colette took out her charkhams and fired a powerful thrust towards Odolwa. He was too occupied with the others and forgot about Colette. The charkhams cut off Odolwa's arms. When they were returning, the charkhams cut through Odolwa's head.
"How could I…be defeated…by a mere child…" Odolwa said as he fell to the ground and started to disappear. All that remained was Odolwa's remains.
"She killed Odolwa with only one attack?" Link said to himself. "Hmm… she's stronger than she looks."
"Way to go Colette!" Zelda exclaimed.
"How did you do that," Saria asked.
"It was nothing," Colette replied, looking at the ground. "No, really it was nothing. Don't mention it."
"Hey, she wasn't entirely useless after all!" Mido said.
"Don't be rude," Saria said, slapping Mido in the head.
"We got what we came for," Link said. "Let's go."
The group exited through the warp gate and appeared at the entrance to the southern swamp.
"It's best if we made camp for the night," Link said. "Mido and I will start building shelters. Saria and Zelda, you can look for food. Colette can look for firewood."
As the group carried out their assigned jobs, the sun was setting over the horizon.
EVENING OF THE FIRST DAY
After a long day, the group decided to set up camp. There are many things that go around the campfire this night. Please R&R and stay tuned for the next chaper!
