Sono Hanabira – Twilight Princess Chapter 26
Well, there isn´t much to say...yay, dungeon D:
But in my opinion, the temple of time was one of the easiest dungeons in the game, so it´s quicker to write since it isn´t so complicated like others. :3
Have fun reading...
The first I saw in the new room was a giant bell right in the center.
,,What do you think we have to use that for?´´, I asked Midna.
,,How should I know? Just go into the next room so that we can maybe find out.´´
I sighed and made my way to the giant door on the other side of the room.
Since I couldn´t push it open, it had to do something with the switch behind me...
I looked around and saw a small statue standing around...that was a bit too easy.
Before I got in, I noticed another door at the other of the room where two empty were beside the door. One was filled with a statue, the other one was empty.
Maybe I had to find another statue...but how to transport it?
Opening the door, two small creatures suddenly walked by me...the aunt?!
Well, she hurried up the stairs when I opened the door to this shrine.
,,Aunt! What are you doing here?´´, I asked confused.
She looked at me and said:
,,An old technology from my anchentors lies in these ruins. I have to find it. Could you be a dear again and help me find it?´´
I nodded, took her and made my way through the door. Seemes like the aunt and I had the same goal.
When we arrived in the next room, I was already greeted with a chest which had a small key in it.
Opening another door, I came to a room with three golden grids and two big spider I had to kill first.
Putting a vase on a switch, one of the grids opened, but when I got through another grid blocked my way and I couldn´t do anything...but the grid wasn´t there when the other one was closed.
I took out my bow and destroyed the vase, opening the grid that was in my way.
Opening another door, I got into a bigger room with two strange statues that had hammers.
Better not go near them...
On the other side of the room was a chest, probably with the map I really nedded.
It was protected by a big grid, so I think that I had to beat this statue.
When I came near it, it suddenly began to move and used his hammer every few seconds.
Getting behind it, I saw a small crystal that I tried to hit with my sword.
When i eventually managed to do that, ther statue exploded and the way to the chest opened.
Pulling out the map as I hoped, I left the room.
Going up a few stairs, I opened a door that lead me to an interesting room.
There was a cage in the center and a big staircase.
Making my way up, the stair s suddenly ended, but there was a slider track on the wall.
Spinning my way up, I had a choice between a locked door I couldn´t open right now or an elevator.
Well, obviously I took the elevator where I had to push a lever until I was at the bottom again.
The only thing there was, was a small statue that I could maybe use again, so I took it with me and pushed until I was at the top.
There I found another one and used them for two switches I had to activate to open the door before me.
In this room, two new statues with the hammer began to attack me, but I managed to destroy them before they could smash me into ground.
With this victory, a chest appeared where a new small key was.
Finally I could open the door one floor below this one.
The map showed me a lot of walls, it seemed like one, or rather two, small mazes.
When I opened the door, the room showed me that I was right.
They weren´t too complicated, even I could figure them out.
I had to hit a crystal stone a few times with my bow to open and close the right walls.
Finding the compass on the way, I got to the seconds maze which was the same as the last one.
Just this time, there were a few monsters trying to stop me.
I managed to finally complete the maze, but I still got a few bruises.
The next room was full of spiders and larvae, it was really disgusting since I didn´t really like bugs.
But all the better that I had to kill them...wow, Ganondorf really changed me a bit...
When i finally got everything away from me, I noticed the two weighbridges above me.
I got up some stairs and one of the weighbridges went down when I got onto it.
So I probably had to throw the small statues that serve as weights to the other one to balance out the weight.
On the other side, a door lead me to another room where five dorn mechanisms spinned like crazy around the room.
,,Have fun with this one.´´, Midna laughed as I slowly made my way to them.
When the timing was right, I ran to the other side as fast as I could.
Then I tried to get up another staircase, I felt a real pain on my left leg where I had a big bruise I somehow didn´t feel until now.
,,Seems one of thos things managed to slightly hurt you, so you couldn´t feel it until you waited for a few seconds. Hopefully you can walk with this.´´
,,Don´t worry, I had bigger problem than this.´´, I tried to explain, but she didn´t seem convinced.
I just ignored her and made my way up the stairs.
At the top, a slightly bigger room with another golden grid was standing, protecting me from the rotating blade that was stopping me from getting to the chest behind it.
In there was a small key, then I avoided the other torture instruments to get to another staircase.
I used the key to open a locked door that hid a really dark chamber.
Slowly walking in, light began to shine and the door closed behind me, locking itself.
,,Seems that we arrived by the middle boss.´´, Midna commented as she looked around.
A few minutes passed until we heard something behind us.
Midna disappeared in the shadow and I turned around to find a really good amoured knight with a really, really big sword.
Normal attacks wouldn´t do much, so the only effective attack that would come to my head would be the helm splitter and the mortal draw...maybe.
Taking out my sword, I got ready and hoped for the best.
/3rd POV/
Nanami´s legs were shaking a bit, showing that she was still nervous about those fights.
The knight began to walk forward and raised it´s sword.
Blocking the attack, Nanami tried to roll behind the knight, but it didn´t work and she got the sword slashed at her right leg.
Now both of her legs were hurting like hell, but she still stood up again.
She waited until her foe was trying to hurt her again, but before he could attacke, Nanami jumped and used the helm splitter by thrusting her sword into the helm, taking it off the knight together with a few other parts of the armour.
This technique was being repeated a few times until the whole armour was taken off.
Now the knight began to roar and took another sword, this one being lighter and a bit smaller.
/I think the helm splitter won´t help me anymore/, Nanami thought to herself.
A real sword fight began between the two knights until Nanami finally managed to let her foe stumble backward.
But instead of slashing her sword, she put it back and waited.
The knight ran to Nanami and it´s sword was already slightly raised, but before he could do any damage, Nanami used the mortal draw by quickly getting her sword out and slashed it directly against her foe, killing it.
/When I think about my past...I really changed. I would have never thought that I, Nanami Oda, a normal japanese schoolgirl, would fight in this kind of situation. Only a few months and I changed a lot, not being the scared and shy girl anymore. Maybe a bit, but not that extrem anymore. I don´t really know if that is good or bad though. But it´s good that I don´t have to worry about a squishy belly anmore like I used to./
Nanami mused over her thoughts and didn´t really notice Midna coming out, looking at her with a strange look on her face.
,,What are you thinking about?´´, Midna asked, laying her hand on Nanami´s shoulder.
,,...A little about life itself and how mine changed. But that isn´t important right now, is it? Let´s look what I get for fighting this thing.´´
Not noticing that Midna didn´t follow her and just looked slightly sad at her, Nanami walked to the big chest and opened it.
She took out a rod...it was silver bluish with a golden light in the middle.
,,What is that?´´, she asked loudly. Suddenly, the aunt came out of her hiding place.
,,This is it! That´s the technology of my anchentors, the copy rod. It can control stone statues.´´
,,You mean...one like that?´´, Nanami asked, pointing at a stone statue that stood at the end of the room, holding a giant hammer.
,,Yes, one like that. Try it out, it should be usable.´´
Walking to the statue, Nanami held up the rod and a little hole in the middle of the statue began to glow brightly.
,,Great, so the rod is still usable. I´m sure it will be a big help here.´´
The aunt disappeared and Nanami looked at the statue she now controlled, thinking.
,,The space beside the door we saw in the first room...it has to get there...so I have to get the entire way back to the main room?´´, Nanami moaned.
She walked back to Midna, together with the statue and beckond her to follow, but she didn´t.
,,Midna? What is it?´´, Nanami asked worried, sensing that something was on the princess´ mind.
She didn´t talk back for a while, but eventually opened her mouth.
,,What you just said about your past...I have this feeling in me that tells me, that it´s partly my fault that you´re in this situation right now. I feel bad for that...´´
/Is she still thinking that it´s all her responsibility?/
Nanami walked back to Midna and took her hand.
,,Stop blaiming yourself! I may not be the real chosen hero, but this is my business because firstly, Zant threatend MY home and secondly, Ganondorf took Onee-sama from me because HER parents made an arranged marriage between THEM! It´s YOUR business because you have to beat Zant who is threatening YOUR world! I´M doing this for YOU because I want to help you, because YOU helped me saving my home and still help me completing my mission even though you don´t have to! This is OUR responsibility, so stop blaiming yourself for everything. My father´s death or Onee-sama´s kidnapping didn´t happen because of you, it´s because of GANONDORF!´´
By now, Midna began to silently cry on Nanami´s shoulder.
,,You were a big help, even when you were a real bitch to me.´´
Midna sniggered and looked into Nanami´s eyes.
,,Don´t worry, ok? We began this together and we will finish this together.´´, Nanami finished and smiled. Midna didn´t say anything, she just nodded and went back into the shadows, leaving Nanami to her task.
And this is it :D
Why do I have a feeling that I created a new ship xD Nanami and Midna already have a more firm connection together than Nanami and Yuuna in the games, because you have to admit that they both didn´t get much development and just randomly fell in love with one another. That´s alright, love at first sight happens, but their drama can´t even be compared with the drama like, for example, Miya and Risa. They have a better story and and went through much more together. Nanami and Yuuna are just „the cute girl and the oujo-sama that likes to manipulate her girlfriend". I love both of them, I just wished they had more going on, more connection like I did with Nanami and Midna xD
As always, I hope you all liked it and leave a Review to show me what you think ^-^
