Ruki44: I updated! Quickly too! I feel so proud of myself. And sense I'm not following the charactization
Tetra: You spelled that wrong
Ruki44: ignores of the characters, I will put up their personalities so far.
Link: The main character and storyteller. A simple farm hand boy, was that is until he fell into the Twilight and turned into a wolf. He met up with Midna and with her help, he ah, forcibly dragged along Princess Zelda. He thinks that Midna and Zelda are insane. Agreed to be Midna's servant if she helped him locate the children of Ordon
Zelda: The mysterious Princess of Hyrule. At first she seemed serious, calm, and composed. When she was...forcibly dragged along with Midna and Link, she acted more like a small child. She is the only one who can understand Link in his wolf form thanks to the bond of the Triforce. She became the servant of Midna as well in order to help Link.
Midna: A child of the Twilight, helped Link forcibly drag Zelda from Hyrule Castle. She made a pact with Link. She would help him find the children of Ordon if he became her servant. She's somewhat sane...somewhat.
Ruki: Intresting, nice short summeries.
Ruki44: Well I can't revel too much information can I? Well to all those who commented that Ordona is the goat, not the monkey, thank you. I will go back and fix that...eventually.
Hinata: ...Why not now?
Ruki44: It's late.
Rukia: Translation: I'm too lazy.
Ruki44: Just for that, you're doing the disclaimer!
Rukia: Shit! Ruki44 don't own nothing because she is a low life author who sits in front of the computer all day.
Ruki44: I don't sit in front of the computer all day!
Rukia: FINE! And watches too much CSI, Forsenic Files, Law and Order...
Ruki44: You know what? Shut up. Let's get on with it.
Zelda was holding on to my fur a bit tighter then I would have liked, panting hard, obviously still scared. Though I can't blame her, even though this was my second time being brought into the Twilight like that, it still scared the living crap out of me.
"Come on guys, it wasn't that bad." Midna said as she zapped the sword and shield away. She was floating around us, mostly watching Zelda recover from her heart attack. Zelda's eyes twitched. Uh oh, my wolf senses are tingling.
"WASN'T THAT BAD? WASN'T THAT BAD?! THAT WAS HORRIBLE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND I WAS SCARED HALF TO DEATH AND YOUR TELLING ME IT WASN'T THAT BAD!" Zelda yelled at Midna, pointing her finger at the little imp. Midna held one finger to her forehead like she was thinking.
"My Midna senses are tingling…and they are telling me to…RUN LIKE HELL!" Midna cried out, running down a path.
"GET BACK HERE!" Zelda roared, unsheathing her sword, running after Midna. In attempt to prevent bloodshed, I bounded after the pissed off Princess and the imp on death row. Then all of a sudden, just like back at Ordon springs, pillars rained down from the sky, then creating a barrier around the three of us. The red portal once again appeared and instead of one just dropping down from the sky, three did.
"I'll let you guys handle this." Midna said, floating a good ways up, safe from the monsters, and an angry Zelda. Zelda growled and cut the nearest monster that was stupid to go near her in half, and then I lunged at the other one, killing it. When we both rounded on the last remaining monster, it threw up its head and roared a terrible howl, making me go deaf, I swear.
"My ears, my god, if he's singing, make him stop, make him stop!" Zelda wailed, rolling on the ground, covering her pointed ears with her hands.
"Your ears? I'm the one with extra sensitive hearing!" I called back toward Zelda. Before Zelda could make a smart reply back (and I knew she was, I don't know how I knew, I just did) the two ugly freaks we killed got back up like nothing happened. Zelda yelped and scrambled backwards.
"Night of the living dead!" she cried out, pointing to the monster nearest her.
"You two are hopeless. Link, concentrate on all the monsters, quick!" Midna cried out, landing on my back quite painfully. I did what I was told and concentrated on all the monsters at once. Then all of a sudden, after a few seconds, I saw this…field…come around me, trapping all the monsters within it. Sparks of red were coming off the monsters. The monster near Zelda froze for a second, seemingly confused. Without really thinking about it, I lunged, hitting the one nearest me, the one who had wailed earlier, and then the one who was threatening Zelda in less then five seconds. The pillars, like before disappeared and the red portal turned blue. Zelda looked at me, she was still shaking.
"Zombies…" she whimpered scared.
"You mean, you weren't scared that you were almost going to die? Goddesses Princess, get your priorities in check!" Midna berated her, shaking her head. Zelda didn't say anything, well she did, but she was muttering about the living dead or something of the sort. Midna just sighed again and helped her stand up and brought her over to me.
"She's in no condition to move. We should find the spring quickly." Midna explained, helping the scared Princess onto my back, then she got on in front of her. "Well then Link, let's go." she said, kicking me in the sides. I gave her a dirty glare, what did I look like? A horse? She give me an innocent grin…why that little…With a grunt I turned around and trotted forward a bit. Then all of a sudden, through the darkness of the Twilight, I saw a bright light.
"Shiny light…" Zelda said, a bit of childish glee riding her voice. I glanced back at her. At least she wasn't scared stiff anymore.
"…So you are the ones who are destined to save the world" came a soft voice, it was loud enough to hear, but it didn't just have the same effect on me, us, as Ordona did. "Wow, the goddesses must have been pretty desperate…a naïve princess, a child of the twilight, and a boy who is in a wolf's body…oh we are so screwed…" the voice sighed. Zelda had hopped off my back and had unsheathed her sword.
"Do you want us to help you or not?!" she cried out, pointing her sword in every direction she seemed to fancy.
"Ah, yes…well, the wolf boy will return to human form, I will become whole again, and this area will be gone of the twilight if you fill this vessel up with the Teardrops of Light." the talking spring said, and a vessel appeared out of nowhere and floated in front of Zelda. She grabbed it and looked at it closely.
"So where are these Teardrops of Light?" Midna asked.
"I will mark them on the map for you, but be warned, the bugs hold their treasure a bit to possessively." the spring warned. Zelda snapped to on this.
"Wait, back up. Bugs? You don't mean spiders do you?" she asked, fear riding her voice somewhat.
"Spiders are arachnids idiot. He said bugs…bugs!" Midna cried out, waving her arms. Zelda just sulked.
"First off, how do you know it's a he, it could be a she for all you know! And second off spiders are bugs!" Zelda shot back.
"I could ask you the same thing, and they're arachnids, arachnids!" Midna argued back.
"Bugs."
"Arachnids."
"Bugs."
"Arachnids."
"BUGS!"
"ARACHNIDS!"
"BUGS!"
"ARACHNIDS!"
"SHUT UP! FIRST OFF, I'M A SHE, NOT A HE! AND SPIDERS ARE ARACHIDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE EIGHT LEGS! MY GODDESSES, I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS! THIS WORLD IS SCREWED WITH A CAPIATAL S!" the spring cried out, cutting the argument short, before the light disappeared and the spring blended in with its surroundings.
"Man, what's eating her? I mean, she sounds like she never heard this before. I mean we were just like a couple more shouts away before we would huff and turn away and refuse to talk to each other for the next ten minutes." Midna said.
"I know. Jeez, if she is really a she, she would know that." Zelda agreed. What the…first they are fighting like rivals or something, now they were best friends, man, what goes through a female's mind?
"Why are you scared of spiders anyways?" Midna asked Zelda curiously.
"Oh I can stand the little ones, it's the big ones I'm afraid of. You know, the ones with skulls on their back?" Zelda explained to Midna. Midna seemed interested.
"No, I don't know of spiders with skulls on their back, please go on." she asked, now very interested.
"Well, the Skullutas, that's what their properly called, are huge, I mean, they can be as big as me standing up…well a couple inches smaller, but you get the idea. Plus if you let your guard down for one moment…BAM! They got you in their spidery cocoon, waiting for you to become dead so they can suck out your internal organs. After that, your shriveled up corpse is disposed of, nasty I tell you. Found a bandit's body like that in one of their lairs one time, nearly got one of the soldiers too, but the solider was able to react in time and jump out of the way, and kill the spider by hitting its weak spot, which is its belly by the way. It's a soft while the front of its hard. Though if your fighting it on the ground, all you can do it keep hitting hit, keep it from scoring a hit. I fought one like that you know. After that, I got so scared of them, so scared that I freak out at the name spider, even if you are talking about the little ones." Zelda explained while Midna listened in awe.
"Wow, luckily we don't have anything like that in the Twilight Realm, if we did, man…" Midna said, shivering a bit.
"Hey, are you forgetting something?" I called out toward Zelda, seeing as she was the only one who could understand me. Zelda looked at me blank, before realizing what we should be doing.
"Oh right, Midna, it's time for the bug hunt." she said cheerfully. Midna looked surprised.
"Almost forgot, ok Link, this way!" she cried out, landing painfully on my back, while Zelda ran beside me, taking out a map.
"Alright, the first thing marked on the map is…this way!" Zelda cried out, pointing in a random direction.
"I hope she really knows how to read that thing." Midna whispered in an undertone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Turned out that Zelda did know how to read a map, thank goddesses. But that didn't make the job any easier. We were running all over the forest, looking for the freaking bugs, who happened to be invisible by the way, so I had to use my senses. Plus, they were dangerous, when they had little purple sparks surrounding them, it hurt like hell to touch them. Then to find some of them, we had to leap through trees, dodging carnivorous plants and swinging logs. Zelda said this the stupidest thing we have done so far. For some reason, I think we are just getting started. I really hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not.
"Link? Is that you?" I heard Zelda whisper in shock. I felt her shake my shoulder…wait a minute! My shoulder? I slowly opened one eye to see her starring down at me, her blue eyes wide.
"What? What is it?" I muttered. I was exhausted, all that work in the past twenty-four hours have really docked me out of all my energy, and it was finally catching up to me. Zelda's eyes lightened up with pure delight.
"It is you! Link, get up! Now! Look, your human again!" she said gleefully. Oh, so that's why she was staring at me like…SAY WHAT! With a jolt, I was sitting up right. The sky was dark and covered with stars and moon was shining overhead, but it wasn't the Twilight. Just then I noticed my clothes were different. Instead of wearing the clothes that Zelda was wearing, I was wearing a green tunic with a floppy green hat, the sword and shield firmly buckled on my back. To tell the truth, I looked like the boy in the storybooks, the Hero of Time.
"Eh? Oh, it must have happened when that vessel filled, man what a pain. And I'm tired…" I whined, looking at my clothes. Zelda giggled, patting my head like I was still a wolf.
"Not very observant are you?" she asked, grinning like a maniac, though her eyes didn't have that dare devil gleam they usually had when she smiled like this.
"You wouldn't be too if you were sleep derived and exhausted." I argued back. Zelda grinned at me and flicked my forehead.
"Idiot, I'm the same as you, but my mind is still functioning normally." she said grinning.
"Wow, you managed to collect the Teardrops of Light…I'm impressed. My name is Faron and I'm another of the spirits of like my sister Ordona." this glowing monkey introduced itself. "Maybe this kingdom isn't so screwed after all. As a token of my apology, I will give you some information. The thing that you seek lies in the temple of the forest. That is all for now, until next time." Faron said, before disappearing in a glamour of light.
"You know, Faron sounds more like a boy's name." Zelda said thoughtfully.
"Yea, I know. Seriously." Midna's voice agreed. "Anyways, enough of this idle chit chat, to the Forest Temple!" she cried out.
"What!" Zelda cried out, her eyes widening.
"Listen Midna, Zelda and I are exhausted, I doubt that we can't move any more. Plus its dark out. We'll have more luck in the daytime. We should all just take a rest and head out in the morning." I argued, trying to drive some common sense into this crazed imp.
"But…" she protested.
"Hey, it seems Link is right, I can't move." Zelda piped up cheerfully. I glanced over to where she was, which so happened to be on the right of me. She was close as I soon realized…very close…too close. I tried to move away to give her and I some space. To my horror and embarrassment, I realized that I too didn't have the strength to move.
"Same here Midna. I can't move a muscle." I said, lying down, letting my body hit the grass with a thud, looking at the night sky. Midna sighed.
"You two are hopeless. Fine, we'll take a rest. But the minute morning comes around, we're heading…Zelda…Zelda? Jeez, she's asleep already." Midna said, but was stopped when she noticed that Zelda had indeed fallen asleep. I glanced back over. She looked so different when she was sleeping.
Even though I could tell she had to be in her late teens, or maybe in her very early twenties, she had a lot on her plate. But despite this, she still seemed like a little kid…or was she just acting this way, having the chance to catch up on the childhood that was stripped from her, acting like this because she was forced to act like an adult from an early age, not really knowing how to act outside the castle walls that confined her. Was she relived to released of the pressures of running a kingdom, for the time being anyways? It seemed the she had two personalities, that of the Princess of Hyrule and that of a small child, seeing stuff for the first time out in the world. But as I watched here lay there sleeping, she looked neither like a princess nor like a child. She just looked like a girl that you could find anywhere. I grinned.
"Told you." I said addressing Midna. "Crazy woman…" I whispered, addressing Zelda. I don't think I'll ever figure her out, it seemed to be my luck that I was stuck with an imp that was acted tough, but seemed nice enough underneath and a Princess who was like a small child. Why can't girls just act a bit more like Illia, tell what they are thinking upfront? Makes my world a whole lot easier. As I pondered this, my world went dark.
Hinata: Wow, way to eleborate.
Ruki44: That was way too involved, no way was I gonna do all that.
Rukia: Like I said...
Ruki44: You! Shut up!
Tetra: Wow, it's not us Ruki, you know we're going to have to take her out.
Ruki: You may be right...
Hinata: Um, with Ruki and Tetra schemeing and Ruki44 and Rukia fighting, its up to me...please review!
