animedeprived: Back again, my monkeys! I'm on Spring Break! Yes! I finally get to stay up and watch Inuyasha! It had better have Koga.

Link: animedeprived does not own Lassie. That's good, because I'm allergic to dogs. She doesn't own Inuyasha either, though she does want to rub his ears. So do I. They look so fuzzy.

Chapter 8

The Bottom of the Well

Day 7 years + 32 - Lake Hylia
Was having fun shooting crows with flaming arrows. Until Fairy nagged me about continuing quest. Plus, icing meter needs replenished, and getting tired of eating BBQ crow. Too many feathers to pick off.

Day 7 years + 32 - Hyrule Field
Icing meter full. Now what? I think I'll sit here on this big rock until an idea comes to me in the form of one of those hovering light bulbs.
Best I can come up with is look in cheat book.
Let's see... Water Temple... Here we go. "Once the Water Temple is complete, Link" (aka me) "must learn the Song of Storms from the crabby man in the windmill. Then, he returns to the Temple of Time and reverts to his past self by replacing the Master Sword in the pedestal."
What? There are crabs in the windmill? Anyway, glad I already learned song. Villagers probably still miffed.

Day 7 years + 34 - Temple of Time
Thought about what book said. Did some training, ate some chocolate skulltulas, got attacked by a duck... Realized if pulling sword from stone made me old, putting sword back should have reverse effect. Have never heard of King Arthur doing this, but cheat book never lied to me before.

Day 57
Hey, it worked. I'm a kid again. Yay (note the sarcasm in my nonexistent voice). I MISS MY RUGGED MANLINESS! (A/N: Me, too, Link. Me, too.)

Day 59 - K-something Village
Know I can spell village name. Unfortunately, future journal not written yet, so can't cheat. Blast.
Anyway, cheat book says to go to windmill and play Song of Storms. Don't see how this will help, as no lightning.

Day 59
Yep. As I suspected, song only made it rain inside. All quake at the mighty power of the Song of Storms. It's more a Song of Light Drizzle.
Oh, rain from song made windmill turn faster. Not sure how the two are related, but then apparently, that's why windmill guy becomes so cranky. Doesn't he realize that it slows down as soon as I go out? Besides, faster windmill means more electricity or grain grinding... or more whatever this windmill does. So really, I'm doing everyone a favor.
Got wet in rain, so decided to hop on insanely fast turn-y thing for spin cycle. Puked after five minutes. Got it all over windmill guy. Now that's something to be upset about for seven years.

Day 59
Faster turning windmill drained old well. Looked inside. V. dark and deep like black hole. Getting "really creepy stuff is down there, so avoid it like the Plague" feeling. Unfortunately, have to jump in anyway. Really hope bottom covered with cotton candy, as don't want to die.

Day 59 - Bottom of the Well
Nope. No cotton candy down here. Just a 10-year-old boy with two broken legs and no voice to yell "Help!" with. Where's Lassie when you need her? Or him? Or whatever. Don't really care, as legs broken.
Hey, what's that over there?

Day 59
It's a ladder. A nice, safe ladder I could have climbed down on. Oh, it hurts. It hurts.

Day 59
All I have is stale fairy from seven years... ago? From now? Ow. Time travel headache.
Wait, if fairy stale in seven years, then now it must be...
Yay! Freshness!

Day 59
Terrified for my cookies. Oh, and my life. Green flaming skull flying around. Fell through floor twice and wall five times. Mummy hand dropped down and grabbed me. Whispering voices with no bodies say the monkeys are coming. Want to leave, but think nasty skeleton sitting next to door reached for me on way in. Swear I saw its eye glow.
Wait, that's just stupid Fairy fluttering around and trying to tell me how cheese is made. STUPID FAIRY!

Day 59
Fell through another hole into empty room. Smells v. bad in here, worse then rest of well.
Oh, that's right. I just farted.

Day 59
There is not an exclamation of disgust fit for this occasion. And no, this isn't about gaseous bodily functions.
There are dead hands growing out of the ground like weeds! DEAD as in no longer alive, but still willing to grab my throat as I pass by. Then, while they hold me, big nasty diseased- looking thing comes out of ground to bite my face! It's like a giant's hand had psoriasis and cancer, then was amputated, buried, and left there for two hundred years to rot and be fed on by the rats that caused the Black Plague.
Will never sleep again.
Wait. Haven't slept since beginning of quest. Have been sugar high since then, and have not yet calmed down enough to sleep.
Then again, might not be sugar high much longer if keep projectile vomiting like this.

Day 59
Managed to beat diseased hand without touching it too much. Will visit Death Mountain Crater in future to singe germs off my hands.
Got magnifying glass-thingy. Think it's made of candy, so licked it. Is candy, but tastes v. moldy and dusty as has been at bottom of filthy well with diseased zombie hands for who knows how long. Didn't know hard candy had expiration date.

Day 59 - K-something Village
Finally. Out of well. Never going back down there again. Would rather gag myself with splintery wooden spoon.
