Chapter 30: Ojective
When we were finally back at Hyrule Castle Town, I found that it was just as I had remembered it. Thus, I had to get the other two Links to my home before anyone who knew me say us. Sure, it was a little bit stressful, but I managed to successfully pull it off once again. As we entered my house, though, the thick layer of dust got to us and sent all three of us into a coughing fit. However, there was no time to clean it, seeing as we had to meet with the princess as soon as possible.
Therefore, much to future Link's reluctance, both of the other two Links disguised themselves once again and we set off for the actual castle. Unfortunately, when we got there, Shaun was guarding the place again. Looking at us with pure and utter disdain, he began to berate me about taking too much time off, shirking my work, and everything else that he went on about the last time that I was there with the other two Links (he also made fun of my earring, but I paid no attention to that). All that I did was roll my eyes, waiting for him to tell me to leave, but he actually let me by this time. I began wondering what the heck was going on, knowing Shaun, but I decided to just dismiss it, considering that the princess easily could have spoken to him about it.
Either way, we made out way into the throne room where the princess lay in wait. We spoke our greetings and I casually told her everything that had happened in future Link's dimension (even though she probably already heard about it from the other princess via telepathy), right up to and including the adorable Aryll. Future Link didn't really want to talk about her, though, so I kept it brief. Eventually, I stopped beating around the bush and I asked the princess if she had felt any sacred power and if so, then where it was coming from. She answered by saying
"Yes, I've felt it. Personally, I think the reason that the other princess felt the sacred power first is because the sheer lack of magic in that dimension made it stand out. Either way, though, it's now strong enough for me to feel and distinguish it among other things. So, I took a page out of the other princess' book and made an arrangement to go to Death Mountain in order to give a motivational speech. While I was there, I made a crosshair on a map so that I could pinpoint the location. The thing is, though, you're not going to like it; it's in the Gerudo Desert."
My jaw hit the floor. The Gerudo Desert?! Sure, the gerudo, themselves, had begun accepting more and more people to tour their lands, but they were still pretty stingy when it really came down to it. Honestly, I had no idea how the heck we were supposed to get by them. However, the princess simply handed me a note and she told me that it would do the trick. After that, she sent the three of us off to the Gerudo Desert with a map that had the location pinpointed.
On our way out of town, though, we were stopped by a man who was sitting at a booth in the marketplace. There was no one else around, so I figured that he was just trying to attract attention for his business, so I ignored him. That was until he said
"You have the needle and the thread, but you lack the will and the skill in order to sew time itself. I have something that can help." At this, all three of us stopped and stared before we approached him. I was then able to see his mainly purple outfit (with a gold collar), slick, neat, combed back, orange hair, and his ridiculously massive grin. There were also masks dotted all over his little booth in a decorative manner.
After he introduced himself as the 'Happy Mask Salesman', I asked him how he knew about us and our endeavors. All that we got as a reply, though, was him handing slave Link a mask of a deku, future Link a mask of a zora, and me the mask of a goron. The three of us looked at him with looks that asked him if he was high or something, but then he told us to just believe and humor him. Figuring that no true harm could possibly come from it, the three of us put on our respective masks. If only we would've known. The last words that I heard before I passed out were
"Believe. Just believe..."
Drone, I hope you're happy! Because that suggestion you gave me back during ToF has finally surfaced! Ha ha! What'll happen to them next? You'll have to wait for next week in order to find out! Are my cliffhangers evil, or what? XD In all seriousness, though, I hope that everyone has enjoyed these three chapters. The ending of which proves that I really do take my reviews to heart! Maybe, if you leave a review, I'll use your ideas too. ;) See you all next week!
