Ocarina of Time: The Three Goddesses Reincarnated

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Hylian Library Book

Tessa blinked as she looked down at the bed that she was in. She didn't remember how she got there, but as far as she knew she was alone. "Maybe I passed out or something…" Tessa murmured, and got out of bed. She stumbled as she put weight on her legs, and felt very dizzy. She collapsed back on the bed, and held her head.

"Oww…" Tessa murmured. After a moment, the pain went away, and she tried to stand up again. She staggered a bit, but was able to stand this time around. She looked around, and noticed that she was at an Inn in Kakariko Village. She looked down to see that she was still in the water tunic, but her clothes were in some drawers that were cracked open. She got dressed in a light blue shirt and a black skirt and went out, but not before she grabbed an umbrella, and her daypack that had only a few things in it. It was pouring hard outside, and Tessa didn't want to be sick along with weak.

She walked around aimlessly for a while, before she saw the haircutter's shop. Instantly, Tessa thought of Thomas, the evil peeping tom of a haircutter. 'Maybe I should at least say hi or something.' Tessa thought briefly, then shrugged and walked into the area. Thomas was sitting there, reading lazily at the front desk. His long blue hair was let loose today, and his bright green eyes were glazed over with boredom.

"Dude, is business slow or something?" Tessa asked rudely. Thomas' head shot up, and he glared at her.

"What are you talking about? Business is never that great." Thomas shrugged, and turned the page of his book. Tessa rolled her eyes and grabbed it from in front of his eyes.

"You don't expect me to believe you were actually reading this, do you?" Tessa looked at the book skeptically. She couldn't read the words, but one thing was very clear to her.

"What do you mean?" Thomas asked.

"…The book was upside-down…" Tessa giggled. She could tell because the picture was facing her.

"Ah…" Thomas cringed. "Yeah…I was bored, and I just grabbed something to do."

"I know the feeling." Tessa sighed. "Actually, that reminds me…" Tessa dug in her pack and brought out the book she had checked out from the library a few months ago. "Now that I think about it…the overdue fees on this book are probably enormous…mom is going to kill me…"

"Overdue fees?"

"Don't ask." Tessa sat down behind the counter with her book, and opened it. "Wait a second…"

"What's wrong?" Thomas asked, and looked over her shoulder. Tessa pounded her head against Thomas' desk, and grumbled.

"IT'S IN HYLIAN!" Tessa shouted. Thomas raised his eyebrow at the exclamation.

"Why is that a problem?" Thomas asked. Tessa groaned, and slumped her shoulders forward.

"I can't read Hylian…" Tessa muttered, and threw the book across the room. Thomas' eyes widened.

"You can't be serious." Thomas stated. Tessa looked to him, and nodded.

"Yeah, I can read…well…I guess American…and English…which are technically the same thing but the slang and accent is way different…and a bit of Spanish…but only a few phrases…and about two phrases in French…I think I failed that class…" Tessa trailed off. "Nothing in Hylian."

"Are you some sort of foreigner?" Thomas asked. Tessa thought about it, and nodded slowly.

"I guess you could put it that way…"

"Right…" Thomas went to retrieve the book. "Now, is American any different from Hylian?"

"As in speaking it, no. The characters for reading it are completely different, so I can't read it."

"Would you like for me to translate the book for you?" Thomas offered. Tessa nodded, but Thomas saw the disturbed look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Where I got this book…nobody has ever heard of Hylian…at least…that I know of…" Tessa murmured. "So…why was it at a Wyoming library?"

"I don't know."

"You wouldn't, you're not from Wyoming…neither am I…but that's beyond the point…"

"Okay…" Thomas was just confused by now, but looked at the cover of the book. "Well, the title is 'The Sages of the Other World' if that means anything to you." Thomas shrugged.

"SAY THAT AGAIN!" Tessa shouted suddenly. Thomas, a bit scared, did as he was told.

"The Sages of the Other World. It's probably a fantasy novel…" Thomas shrugged. Tessa's heart began to pound, as she thought about talking with those three voices multiple times.

"Right…continue…"

Thomas looked at the first page, and began to read from the book. "When the three Goddesses of Hyrule, known as Din, Nayru, and Farore, created Hyrule, they also inadvertently created another world, parallel to this one. After realizing this, they vowed to make reincarnations of themselves, mortal, with one left in that world. Everybody believes there are six sages, just like in this world, but there are only four…"

"Four…" Tessa murmured.

"Each one represents a different area of that world. One resides in the swamp, one in the mountains, one in the ocean, and one in the canyons. Each resides one-hundred steps from the center city of that town." Thomas stopped.

"What's wrong? Continue!" Tessa asked.

"That's just the thing…I can't…"

"Why not?" Tessa asked. Thomas frowned.

"Well…it's just…the rest of it…isn't in Hylian. You'd have to have a translator for the rest of it."

"YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!" Tessa shouted, and grabbed the book from his hand and threw it on the floor, and her heel dug into it just as quick.

"Why are you getting so angry over a book?" Thomas asked. "Ever since I met you, you have displayed a rather large temper at some minor things." He regretted his words as Tessa whirled on him.

"JUST BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TRIVIAL TO YOU DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME!" Tessa shouted. Thomas seemed to shrink into a smaller body as Tessa continued to shout at him. "IF I CAN'T FIND A TRANSLATOR FOR THIS, I AM SCREWED!!!"

"Why would you be in trouble if you can't read a simple book?" Thomas asked carefully.

"THE GODDESSES WILL SKIN ME ALIVE! I FINALLY HAVE A CLUE AND I CAN'T EVEN READ IT ON MY OWN!"

"…The goddesses?" Thomas asked. Tessa didn't even notice this.

"FIRST I HAVE THAT DIN LADY THINKING I'M INCOMPETENT, AND LEAST THAT ONE GIRL DECIDES TO COVER FOR ME, AND NOW SHE'LL THINK I'M INCOMPETENT AS WELL! THIS FUCKING SUCKS!"

"…"

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND THOSE PARALLEL SAGES IF I CAN'T EVEN READ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Parallel sages?"

"HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO FULLY DEFEAT GANONDORF WITHOUT THEM?!?!?!?!"

"Uh…Tessa…" Thomas tried to catch her attention.

"WHY DID I EVEN COME TO THIS WORLD? ALL IT CONSISTS OF FOR ME IS BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS ALL OF THE TIME! I WISH I NEVER FOUND THAT STUPID WELL!!! AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

"FOR THE GODDESSES WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?!" Thomas shouted. Tessa turned wide-eyed to Thomas.

"Huh?"

"You've been shouting about nonsense for a little bit now, and I have a headache." Thomas growled. Tessa blushed a beet red.

"Uh…what did you hear?"

"You're from another world?"

"…Yes…"

"You've talked to the goddesses?"

"…Yes…"

"And the parallel sages?"

Tessa paused. "Right…I'm kind of confused about that. Even after what information you've given me, it doesn't seem like…something…that…is from my world. We have canyons and mountains and swamps and oceans everywhere! And there is no central city, it's just…a round world…"

"Huh?" Thomas asked. "How can somebody live in a round world?"

"Easy, the planet I live on is round, not plant. Likely, it's the same for your world." Tessa shrugged. "Or I could just be thinking you're all still on early thinking…who knows…"

"Right…" Thomas said slowly.

"Where's Link?" Tessa asked. Thomas cocked his head slightly.

"Who is Link?"

"Oh…he wears a funny-looking green outfit, carries a sword and shield, and other weapons, blonde hair, blue eyes, a small round light with wings called a fairy follows him around a lot."

"Oh, he left." Thomas shrugged. "Him and another person covered in what looked like bandages…blonde hair…red eyes…"

"Oh, Sheik?" Tessa inquired. Thomas shrugged. "I'm guessing Sheik. I wonder why they left?"

"I don't know, the weather around here has been a lot worse for a while now, and ever since Link came, the dark feeling from this place is lightened up a bit, since he helped put out the fires on a lot of the buildings. If you look, you can see the damage. Some are probably trying to patch up their houses in the rain, since nobody thinks it's going to end soon."

"Was this shop not harmed?"

"Oh, the back portion of it was. My dad is on the roof working to repair it and stop the floor and other possessions from being ruined."

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's no problem."

"So, I have a question, do you think the goddesses have really been reincarnated?"

"Who knows? The whole thing does seem like a fantasy story to me." Thomas shrugged. Tessa raised her eyebrow.

"You live in fantasy…"

"What?"

"Never mind." Tessa waved off the question. "In any case, I better head back to the hotel room or something…thank you for helping, even if I did blow up a bit…"

"Oh, it's no problem. If you have any other problems and you happen to be in town, you can come to me." Thomas then reconsidered. "Unless you want to threaten me again."

Tessa blushed a bit. "I'm sorry, you're right…I do have a bit of a loose temper…I probably wouldn't actually do any of the things I threaten you with …"

"Ah, well, in any case. I'm usually here, or at home, but you don't know where that is…so if I'm not here you're out of luck."

"Okay…well…bye…"

End of Chappie

All right, I had to change the plotline to fit in something else I'm doing. So, I made the book redirect Tessa's goal in this story, and to give a new look as to whom Tessa is (besides a raving lunatic…).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Ganondorf to defeat (that's where I am now. I would have finished it last night except for the fact that the 24 season premier came on…haha.). SO the next chapter will be here soon, if I know where I want to go with it...I just realized, I think I gave too much away in this chapter...oh well...it was typed pretty quickly...oh well. Not the whole plot of this story was revealed, oh well.
