Ocarina of Time: The Three Goddesses Reincarnated

Chapter Thirty-Five: Treasure

"Are you going to scream?" The figure that held onto Tessa's neck and mouth asked. Tessa nodded vigorously.

"Well then, I'm not going to let go, now are you going to scream?" The figure asked again, only this time more irritated. Tessa shook her head for no. Slowly, the figures loosened the grip on her neck, and her mouth was released. Now that Tessa was free from the clasp of sheer terror, she realized who was holding her like that.

"Rhea?" Tessa asked, confused. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm that little twerp's secret guard. It's my way of paying back the Gerudo for taking me in illegally." Rhea shrugged. "That's a story for another day though. I have to show you something, it's important."

"Uh…" Tessa blinked. "What is it?"

"I'll have to show you." Rhea said with finalization, and walked down the hall. Tessa sighed and followed after.

"What's wrong with sleep?" Tessa wondered out loud. Rhea chose to ignore her and kept on leading Tessa through different passageways of the fortress. At first, Tessa thought she could keep up with what she was doing, but realized that she would be lost if she tried to sneak away later. She had never been good with directions, and sometimes mixed up right with left.

It didn't take long for Tessa to realize, however, that they were headed deep underground. The Gerudo had obviously spent a lot of time on the fortress to make it harder for attackers to infiltrate. Although it was made of sand and mud, it was definitely very elaborate. Tessa was very impressed.

"Uh, Rhea…where are you taking me?" Tessa finally asked. They had been walking for a while, and Tessa was starting to get bored. After a while the impressiveness wore off because it all looked the same. It would be incredibly easy to get lost in here.

"It's a secret!" Rhea grinned back at her. Tessa only frowned.

"Well, is the secret close by now?"

"Almost." Rhea said elusively. For some reason, Tessa thought she was lying, but chose not to say anything. As it turned out, her intuition proved right as another half hour passed away. Tessa was about to ask again when suddenly two very large doors came into view. They were highly decorated with gold, and many other jewels glittered in the door, although there wasn't any light. The door went about twice as tall as Tessa herself, and it was wide enough to fit ten people through at a time.

"Wow." Tessa managed to get out. Rhea grinned.

"Pretty impressive, huh? The Gerudo built it out of their sheer love for anything glittery. It also marks where the treasury of the Gerudo is kept." Rhea giggled. "Really though, they built this highly complicated passageway to hide their precious jewels, and yet this door practically screams that it's room is filled with wealth. It's quite funny, if you ask me."

"Haha…" Tessa laughed weakly. By now she was extremely tired. She'd give all of the treasure in the world just for a nice, comfortable bed and sleep with no interruptions. "Is there a reason you took me down here? I really don't care about treasure, and if you think I'm going to steal it or something, then I'm sorry."

Rhea gave Tessa a funny look. "No, I know you're not the type to steal anything, especially from a tribe of thieves. That would just be stupid." Rhea giggled again. "However, there is something inside of here I want to show you. It's important."

Something in Rhea's voice told Tessa that she should just cooperate. She wasn't sure why, but it was just what seemed like the best idea at the time. Rhea led Tessa into the room, and Tessa saw gigantic piles of gold and jewels. Rupees were scattered everywhere, and even some foreign coins were found lying around. A whistle escaped from Tessa.

"The Gerudo don't slack off, do they?" Tessa asked. Rhea shook her head.

"It's how they make a living. Granted, it isn't the most legitimate way, but it's really the only way they can."

"Oh." Tessa murmured. Rhea continued to lead her into the back of the room, which took about five minutes. There, Tessa saw two flat glass discs, one made of red and the other blue. They both had the Triforce symbol engraved in the middle, where it shone like gold.

"These are what I wanted to show you." Rhea pointed out. "I know they're not pretty, which is why I was curious. I thought, maybe you'd want to figure them for me."

Tessa raised an eyebrow at Rhea. Once again, the tone in Rhea's voice was unconvincing, as if she was lying but was having fun with it.

"What's the catch? If I touch them will an alarm sound? Or will I become cursed?"

"…No." Rhea said. "Although, I think it's in your best interest to pick them up. One at a time is best, you don't want to fumble and drop them after all."

Tessa sighed in defeat, and reached for the blue one. She picked it up. Her reflection was semi-apparent in the stained glass, but she saw nothing important. It wasn't impressive at all. Why would the Gerudo bother with a thing such as this? Then, Tessa looked at the Triforce. Maybe that was the reason they stole it, the Triforce symbol made it valuable or something. With a shrug, Tessa put the blue one down and reached for the red one. To her, something seemed different about it, like it was calling to her. When she touched it, she felt a sharp sensation run throughout her body, and then she felt like she was on fire.

A scream escaped Tessa's lips, but she couldn't control what she was doing. After her scream, her body continued picking it up fully. The red disc seemed to glow with a red burning flame inside, which shone from the glass. On the outside, Tessa seemed to glow with a bright red light.

Then, Tessa passed out.

Tessa woke up to one black and one grey eye. "Rhea?" Tessa groaned.

"Yeah. So, I guess you know now, huh?" Rhea asked. Tessa nodded. "So, who's the other one?"

Tessa went to sit up, and rubbed the back of her head. She must have cracked her head on the floor of the treasury pretty hard, for her headache was gigantic.

"You'll never believe it." Tessa grinned. Rhea grinned back.

"Try me."

It didn't take long for the two of them to grab the blue disc, and head back up to the normal part of the Fortress. The two ran at top speed, skidding at corners and looking like crazed maniacs. When they got back to the room, Korinu was just waking up.

"Tessa, I thought you were dismissed…" Korinu murmured as she wiped her eyes and yawned. She was kind of cute tired, Tessa had to admit, although her hair was mussed up from her sleep. "Well, in any case, fix my hair." Korinu ordered.

Tessa almost growled. She understood that this was how Korinu was used to being like, but that didn't mean it was how Tessa was used to being treated. However, she bit her tongue and handed the blue disc to Rhea. Tessa grabbed Korinu's hair brush and sat behind her. She carefully pulled the band out and brushed the tangles out of her hair. After a moment, Rhea smiled at Korinu.

"Hey, I found something odd, I wondered if you knew what it was." Rhea stated. Korinu seemed inquisitive. "I found it on the ground, and I wonder if it's from our treasury."

Tessa realized it wasn't exactly a lie, and that Korinu seemed to buy it. Korinu reached her hand out to Rhea.

"Let me see it." Korinu demanded. Rhea nodded and handed the blue disc to Korinu. Tessa pursed her lips, and wondered what affect it would have on Korinu. It didn't take her long to find out, as a small screech appeared from the girl, and her skin became as cold as ice. Small, blue light found it's way around Korinu, and then she blacked out, only she just leaned back against Tessa roughly, instead of falling on the hard ground.

"How long was I out for?" Tessa asked. Rhea grinned.

"To be honest, only about five or ten minutes. Apparently it doesn't take that long to be told who we were reincarnated from."

"Yeah, that's true. It's also probably recovery from the shock of being burned…"

"What are you talking about? I felt like I was completely empty inside."

"I don't…" Then, both Rhea and Tessa felt completely light-headed.

"What the…"

Tessa's eyes widened, and she touched her ear as voices called to her. "It's the Goddesses!"

Once again, the world went black for Korinu and Tessa.

"It took you all long enough." The familiar voice of Din sounded before the three girls. Korinu grabbed onto Tessa's hand, still a bit frightened, and Rhea and Tessa shared confused glances. "It took you forever to figure out that you were our reincarnations. I mean, it's not like it's not obvious!"

"Din, please calm down." Another familiar Goddess voice appeared. This one sounded like Nayru. "It wasn't clear. We made sure it wasn't."

"Yes, we wanted them to grow up as normal Hylians, or whatever they turned out to be." Farore's voice appeared.

Then, the three Goddesses appeared before them. Farore stood in front of Rhea, her green hair shimmered in waves, and her light green outfit went down to cover her feet. It reminded Tessa completely of a toga. Farore's eyes were also a bright green, and her skin was of medium-tone. Din was in front of Tessa, only she was completely decked in red. Her hair was in curls, and her eyes were fierce. The skin on her was dark, and easily distinguishable. It was easy to tell that Din was the temperamental one of them. Nayru stood in front of Korinu, only in blue with hair as straight and silky as could be. Nayru's skin was the palest of all, almost without any color at all.

"Funny, I only see one Hylian." Din pointed to Rhea. "The other two aren't even close!"

"Your reincarnate was sent to another world completely, and came only when she was desperately needed." Farore pointed out. Din rolled her eyes.

"I know that, but what about Nayru's incarnate?" Now she pointed to Korinu.

"A Gerudo. I sent her there for a wider variety." Nayru smiled. "Really, Din. You sound as if you are displeased with these three."

"I'm most certainly not impressed." Din growled. "And besides…" Her glare turned to Tessa. "Weren't you supposed to be helping in your own world?"

"Uh…" Tessa murmured, and cast her eyes downward.

"And you wonder why I'm not impressed. This one couldn't even get a simple task done, and we've been hounding her since before the Forest Temple!" Din shouted. Nayru and Farore bit their lips.

"Yes, well…that is a problem." Farore murmured. Rhea and Korinu looked at Tessa in wonderment. They had found out Tessa's secret, and the fact that she was incompetent. The thought brought a bright red to her face.

"I'll bet if the other two went with our chosen hero, something might have gotten done!" Din shouted. "However, we stuck him with the lazy idiot of the bunch!"

"I am not an idiot!" Tessa shouted. Everybody, except Din, looked at Tessa in astonishment. She had yelled at a Goddess, at Din! Surely that meant she would be burned alive…

However, Din only narrowed her eyes. "Why should I think you are not an idiot?"

"You sent my soul into the wrong damned world! I'm not supposed in the United States of America, or any of those countries! I'm supposed to be in another land, completely parallel to this one!"

"How is your world not parallel, we were able to send you there!" Din shouted back, a growl also within that shout.

"I found a stupid book in my world that explains the very beginning in Hylian, but the rest is complete and utter nonsense! There aren't seven parallel sages to this world, there are four sages!"

"Do you have proof of this, you little twerp?" Din's growl sounded like a malicious threat. However, Tessa was not fazed.

"In my room at the fortress." Tessa snarled.

"I don't believe you then." Din's voice became even more threatening.

"Din, I don't think she's lying." Nayru stated. Everyone turned to look at Nayru. "It is possible that we did send her to the wrong world, and thus created a wrong connection. The connection with the other world still exists, probably. She'll just have to find it."

"Like she has time for that!" Din growled.

"You are right with that one, Din." Farore complied. "However, maybe sealing Ganondorf is possible without the power of the other four…"

"Ganondorf is a malicious overpowered Gerudo male who should never have even been thought of. He's also powerful to boot, I don't think the seven sages alone can handle him."

"Eight sages." Nayru murmured. "Don't forget about…"

"I haven't forgotten, but that little brat hasn't showed herself. Even the seventh sage hasn't been discovered."

"You three need to go back to your own realm now, but remember that you have to store peace to Hyrule at all costs." Farore smiled at the three. Korinu, Rhea, and Tessa nodded, although unsurely.

"We worked too damned hard on that land to let it waste away under a power-hungry man." Din snarled. Nayru, although blushing at her companion's vulgarity, nodded.

"We understand."

End of Chappie

Well, that was it! I'm actually semi-proud of this one. Haha, I love Din, you have no idea. SHE IS SO COOL in my mind.
