Chapter 28: Second Day

Link left for the day and I'm still stuck in bed. He saw that I was still pale in the morning so he had me staying here on my own. I don't want to do that! I might not be as strong as I usually am but that's not going to stop me from going out there and completing some side quest I can do that will benefit me and Link

One thing about this "game" is that much never last... You will only have 3 days and you can't do all your task in those days, so the Song of time is used to warp back to the first day and start everything over. Which means all the effort we go through will be for nothing... But it doesn't mean it still can't benefit us

We can't keep the things we collected through those days nor can have people we spoke to remember us... The only thing we may keep is magic and anything that is needed for the "game" to progress smoothly

Mask will be important. I wish there could be more days so I can bond with people here, but the moon is already so close to land and it's going to destroy everything if we don't get ourselves ready on time... We must travel through the four parts of Termina to find the four giants who can help us

The boomers notebook is a important item that can be used to keep track of everything we do. Because there's only 2 days left, and heart containers aren't real, we will be skipping a lot of those marks listed on the notebook. So the side quest to get a certain mask and come back to teach a dance to some twins won't be necessary... Even if I do wish I can see Link dance like in the game. Heh...

And other side quest where we can obtain certain items won't be necessary either, since I already have most of Link's items in storage. This journey won't be a journey really... But the sooner we can gather the 4 giants, the faster we can finally just stop traveling through time and let time flow normal through Termina again... And the faster I can finally know just who the heck I am

I can't believe after all I've been through, I still can't believe I never got the chance to know why I was chosen to know the future of these events, why I was sleeping in the sacred realm, why I have to guide Link and collect his pieces of the Triforce, or why I even have magic that split itself into 6 lights and became living people with lives.

I regret nothing about the times I had with Link, but still... I wish I had my answers. After Link and Tatl left, I got out of bed and went off to what I can do on the second day... Hoping to get a few things out of the way

As soon as I got outside with my new dress, a maroon sleeveless skirt with a light gray knee short skirt, again, with the golden tread on the front, I saw the annoying Happy mask salesman standing in front of my door with his hands cupped together. I immediately hissed at him and walked away. I have no idea how I suddenly grew so much hatred towards a man I never met...

"Wait! Please! Young lady!" I sighed and looked up at the man boredly "what does it take for me to get your approval on helping me? That young fellow who turned back to a boy... I had asked him for this favor myself but he won't do anything unless I get your approval" I turned away. Link isn't stupid to fall for something anyone says. He would know when I'd say yes... I guess it's a connection thing that we created a long time ago

"You are a honorable man for coming to ask me instead of lying to his face that you had... Though I appreciate your commitment, I will not help you" he fell on his knees and freaked out. I sighed, rubbing my forehead a little. Why doesn't this guy get it? He's crazy

"I'll do anything! Please anything! If you don't get that mask back in time something horrible is going to happen!"

"Oh? You think I don't already know that?" I said, seeing his shock "foolish man" I faced him "I know much about the Majora's mask. It came from a trib and it caused trouble, so those people sealed it away in shadow, but you dared to find it and you think it's coming back to you so easily? You will not get anything back... Do you understand?" What's wrong with me? I'm not normally such a serious person... I don't like it

"Why..? Why do you want it so badly?"

"You honestly think I want something like a mask of Majora? I'm going to destroy it" his eyes widened

"No... No... No! No! No!" He was getting too close to me, wanting to take my shoulders and maybe shake them like he does to Link in the game when he doesn't return the mask even after the man turned him back to human. I got a little scared and jumped in a backflip to kick his face.

Seeing him passed out on his bag pack that supported him, I stared at my hands in shock... I don't even know how to do backflips. It was Jasmine... Her light made it possible for me to learn her fighting skills. Amazing! I didn't want to hurt the crazy man, but he asked for it

I ran out the dark ally way, going into the white light. When thinking it would take me to clock town, I was surrounded by white light everywhere

"Blue maiden..." I looked up, seeing the goddess of time's light figure facing me. I gasped

"Goddess!" She finally came

"It has been a while, blue maiden... You have made it to Termina... I am sure you are feeling pained, aren't you?" I nodded "that is completely normal. You are simply only getting use to your true power. It takes a lot for your human body to control something so powerful. It will fade with rest, there is no need to worry about it. The more you use it, the painless it gets"

"thank goodness..."

"You have 3 days tops, but because you know how to expand it, it will be a long journey for you... Because of who you are and how connected you are with the Song of Time... You can have people remember you completely if you play the Song of Memories... Does that song ring a bell?" It... Kinda does "you will remember it due time. You and the hero will be recognized, so don't think anything will be too worthless to deal with. Do not rush towards anything. This land is very important for you... It is a place where you are going to remember exactly who you are. This place will be your destiny, and once you find out who you are and save this land, you will know the path all on your own... Everything"

"E-everything? As in... Everything?" She giggled, which surprised me

"Mind not the little details of what you saw in the... Game. not everything is like what you know, as the last journey you've been through. You must travel through every temple, and meet every great fairy... Use the Song of beauty to collect the stray ones. You do not even know all the songs here, don't you?"

"W-well..." I didn't think it was necessary. I might memorized many songs, but not every one of the ones in the Zelda universe. I only watched through Majora's mask once, so it's a good excuse to not know every song

"Remember blue maiden... Find the final mask and have him guide you to your new..." She started fating away

"W-wait!" I reached out to her "new what?!"

"Please remember... Hide your blue hair from Majora..." My surroundings took me back to Clock town. I was reaching my arm out like a weirdo. Putting my arm down, I looked down at my feet

"This... Journey is going to be big, I know that now..." I looked to the side to see Anju, someone I knew from Kakariko back in Hyrule, this was a parallel copy of her, walking around to ask people if they've seen her fiancé. Thinking of helping her later, I had to go shopping for reasons

"I can have people remember... By using the Song of memories? What kind of song is it? And how am I suppose to remember or play it if I never even heard of it? " I sighed, crossing my arms and walk the town "Hide my blue hair from Majora..." I looked at my hair and looked around to notice people were staring at it. Geez... I gotten people back home to stop looking at me that way, now I have to deal with it all over again

Using the rupees I actually found in the room Link and I were staying in, it shouldn't be a problem... But if I go shopping and turn back time, will the shop owners notice that I have their stuff and think I stole it? I better ask for a receipt just in case. Hehehe!

Going off to shop for a short black cloak with a hood that covers my head and even eyes... I bought the adult one that reached to my lower knees, which is only suppose to reach to the middle back. I put it on and went around town to get people to stop looking at my hair. They're still staring because of the hood, but at least they're not looking at my face!

Good timing that I got the hood, because it's starting to rain. It rains on the second day, so I guess something in me knew? Maybe.

I got myself some food before noticing Link and Tatl wondering around, searching around for what I assume is the little kids I told him about to get himself into the observatory and get the moon tear... The moon tear isn't necessary, but it's something I remember and I kinda always wanted it... The blue color looked beautiful in my 3DS screen. It's messed up for me to get him to do that... Especially on the second day, but what can I do? I'm just trying to make time go faster. Sadly, I do not know the notes to the Song of Double time yet, so we can't fast forward to the third day

"Hm..?" I hide behind a wall to watch him continuing to look around

"Agh! This is annoying!" He whined "how am I suppose to find these brats in such a big town?"

"Why do you listen to that Lina girl? She's not the boss of you! Why do you even need to look for these kids and stuff? Just because she might know everything doesn't mean she knows everything" Tatl nagged. That made me feel bad...

"What? Don't say that, Tatl... She works really hard to help others. She helped me save a entire land from evil! She's special and I owe her everything" I held my heart

"How special can she be and how much do you have to owe?"

"I owe her my life... Because she risk her life to put mine together" he held his heart with a smile "she did so much for me even if she didn't know me. I use to be someone without a heart, and she worked so hard to put it together. Risking things and protect the future... She's one of a kind. Please don't speak badly of her, she's going through a lot... And it's worrying me" he looked at the rain clouds "I wish I can be more useful to her, but even when I tried my best... I still feel like she's going to leave" Link...

"Don't worry Link... If she did all that stuff for you, she will always be with you, even if she's not with you..." Tatl said. Link smiled before running off to look for the kids in the rain. I walked from the wall I was hiding from and stared at him leaving

"He still thinks I'm going to leave him..?" I looked at the sky "leave... Where will I leave..? This journey is going to scare me. I don't... Want to leave Link, but... I feel like I have to" I let out a shaky sigh before hurrying to follow him

I heard something fall on the floor, causing my hair to fall from my high bun. I turned around to see my pin on the floor, getting wet from the rain when my hood fell. I hurried to pick it up and stare at it. The gems were glowing red, green, and blue again like before... I lifted it up a little to observe it better. Strange...

Following Link again, he finally found the last kid and became a official member of their little club. He received a notebook and was offered to stay with them for the night, but because he had me to worry about, so he refused the offer and ran home... So much for getting stuff done

Staring at Link running away for the moment, I looked up to stare at the moon staring dead at me. This use to scare me like crazy, but staring at it now... I took out my ocarina and played the moon song just because I felt the need to do it.

Instead of expecting a snow storm like the song use to make in Hyrule, the eyes of the terrifying moon glowed red. I gasped as they twirled a bit before something fell from the moon itself. As it landed on the floor in front of me, I stared at it wide eyed, shaking like mad

"W-what..?" I lost balance. landing on my knees, I grabbed the mysterious mask I never discovered the story of... It's actually my favorite mask, and it's right in front of me..? Now?

"Fierce Deity..?" I coughed from the sudden tightness inside my body and fell on my elbows to support myself. My body was shaking like mad. My eyes showed me a vision of his physical body, kneeling before me before speaking

"No matter what time may we meet again... I will guide you to our new destiny" I coughed again "our lives will now begin... I hope to see you again... Avelina" tears ran down my eyes like how fast the rain was falling on me. Holding the mask close to my chest, hugging it, I started sobbing like mad

"W-why..?" I looked at my ocarina on the floor. I was going mental again... I sobbed louder, hugging the mask closer

Getting myself together when noticing someone was coming over to help me, I made a run for it and hid between a random ally, out of breath. Seeing that the coast was clear, I looked back down at the mask in my hands. The mask looked like a adult looking Link, but had face paint, silver hair, and white eyes with no iris or pupil. Yet, it stared at me. I continued crying, putting my hand on its cheek

"Did I... Know you before? Our lives will begin now... Did we use to live before life itself started..?" My heart was hurting like mad. I felt heart broken... Just like when Link died in my arms "oh goddess...Why is this happening..? Why do I have to go through all this confusion"

I wanted to put this mask in storage for safety, but when I was putting it in my light and have it disappear, something spoke to me "Avelina..." I flinched, staring at nothing, at where it disappeared.

My head was pounding. I walked home and saw Link looking around the ally in a panic before noticing me and pointed his sword at me, mainly because I had this large hood covering my face

"You can't come here! Go away!" I dropped to my bloody knees again, sniffling. I couldn't talk and I was too weak to stay up on my shaky knees. I dropped my ocarina that I held shakily in my hands, making Link know it was me "Lina..?" He ran to me "what happened? Why are you out here?" He held my arms "you're so cold..."

"Link..." I raised my arms to hug him, sobbing on his shoulders "it's getting worse"

"What..?"

"I don't know what to do... Somethings happening and I don't even know what to do..." Link hugged me tightly. I could see Tatl staring at us from the edge of the open door of our home, frowning at me "this new journey Link... It's going to be important..." He carried me back inside and shut the door. Putting me near the lit up fire place, he removed my cloak and put a blanket on me. he sat in front of me after that and play my lullaby. I looked at him surprised before smiling and hugged my legs. My body started feeling lighter again and my breathing and heart beat slowed down again... I felt myself again. Oh Link... How did I get so lucky to be your guide... When I find out who I am, I feel as its going to impact so much between us.
