Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask-A different kind of magic
Chapter 3-The swamp.
Disclaimer-me no own Zelda
Link entered the clock tower excitedly. I can't believe I'm finally gonna be me again. She walked up to the mask salesman and held up her ocarina proudly.
"I see you have gotten back your instrument, but what of my mask?" he asked nicely.
"I have to defeat 4 "evil guardians" to get your mask back, and I will." She said.
"Okay then, I will teach you a song that will be able to turn you back, release people from curses, or help dead people find peace." He said.
"How do I know it works?" asked the skeptical heroine.
"Well, I used it on the spirit of a deku scrub the other day, and it turned into this." Said the salesman, holding up a mask in the shape of a deku face. "It has the ability to transform you into a deku. You can have it." Said the salesman as he throws Link the mask.
"Okay, I believe you, teach me the song." Link said, anxious to get her normal body back.
"Okay, the song goes like this." He said, playing it on the organ that was right next to him. Link played along with her ocarina, and once the song was finished, she waited for something to happen.
"Hmm, that is most peculiar." He said.
"Why didn't it work?" Link asked, worried that something had gone wrong.
"It seems that the magic used on you was far to great, there is no way to change you back. Unless taking the mask away from the skull kid will weaken the spell, you are stuck.
Link could not believe what she was hearing. There was no way to turn back? Then she would have to try to get the mask from Skull Kid, and hope that would allow her to turn back.
Link walked out of the tower, slightly depressed by the turn of events that this journey had taken.
She turned to the fairy that was now helping her. "So, where do we go first?" she asked.
"Well, the swamp is down this way, come on." Said Tatl.
They went out into Termina Field, and went in the direction of the swamp. Link pulled out the deku mask that the salesman gave to her. I wonder if it really works. She thought to herself. As the pair continued, they came to a shop, and a huge body of water.
"The swamp is through that water, Link." Said Tatl.
"That water doesn't look too good." Link said.
When Link stepped into the water, she instantly felt sick. "Yep, it's poisonous." She said.
"Too bad your not a deku, they can hop on water. You could jump to those lily pads, and not get poisoned." Said the fairy. Link pulled out the deku mask once again. She put it on and pain swept through her body. She shrunk to about two feet high, her face turned wooden, her clothes shrunk with her. When this change was complete, a young deku scrub girl was standing where Link had been.
"Well, that was not the weirdest thing that has happened to me lately, but it is right up there." Said Link in her new, squeaky voice. She then proceeded to hop from lily pad to lily pad. This continued until the duo came to what appeared to be a fortress. When they went in the door. Link looked up to see that it was about noon. They had plenty of time to defeat this guardian of the swamp. They saw 2 deku scrubs up ahead and walked over to them.
"You are not from around here, are you?" asked one of the scrubs. Link shook her head. The scrub continued. "You must be here to see the monkey get executed. Well, go on in." And with that, the two scrubs moved aside to let Link in. She walked down a long hallway, and came to a chamber with many deku's in it. A monkey was in a cage in the corner and tied to a poll. Link walked over to the cage.
"Help me, I didn't do anything." Said the monkey.
"What did they accuse you of?" asked Link.
"They said that I kidnapped the princess, but she went into that temple hidden in the swamp. She played that song and it popped up. She went in and did not come back. Hey, maybe if I teach you the song she played, you can go into the temple and help her. There is a bottle near the bars. If you grab it, you will be able to get to where the temple is." The monkey then proceeded to teach Link the song that would allow her to enter the temple. After that, Link left the palace and found the place where the temple was, and walked over to a platform with a deku face on it.
"Arrg…" said Link.
"What?" asked Tatl.
"That song that they were playing in the palace got stuck in my head." Link said. She then proceeded to play the Sonata of Awakening. She used the flower in front of her to float to the temple and enter. She spent about 4 hours running around the temple, and ended up finding the 15 fairies, they gave her magic, and a sword spin attack for when she was in her normal form, if you could call it that. She also found a bow, and the key necessary to enter the fight with this guardian. She entered the room and removed the deku mask. A giant warrior jumped down from the ceiling.
"Odolwa!" it yelled.
The fight then began. The warrior was about 8 feet tall, and had a huge sword. The battle raged on for an hour before Link was finally left victorious. A blue light appeared and Link entered it. She was then standing on a platform. A giant creature appeared and started singing a song. Link followed on the ocarina and was taught the Oath to Order.
She was then brought to a room with a giant tree in it, and it had a hole covered with vines. Link cut them away, and the deku princess was there.
"Who are you?"
"I am Link, I came here to help you. The monkey sent me. He is going to be executed because the king thinks he kidnapped you."
"You must take me back to the palace, if you have an empty bottle, put me in, and let's hurry."
"But I don't have an…" Link then remembered that the monkey gave her an empty bottle. She scooped up the Deku Princess, and ran all the way back to the palace. She released the princess in front of the king, and watched as the princess explained what happened. The monkey was released, and Link had gotten Odolwa's mask. She played the song of time, and prepared to go on her next adventure.
To be continued.
