NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19: Lanayru's Desert (1/?)
Vexalia's POV.
As I ran I fell on my face due to the overwhelming heat, "That was a huge mistake..." I lamented feeling my clothes stick to my skin, "Mistress, I detect that while this heat is indeed lower than the volcano's, it will still cause heat stroke." Fi informed me, "Great... Would have been nice to know earlier..." I told her sarcastically.
Getting up I pulled at the collar of my shirt to let some fresh air in, "If I knew about this I'd wear something lighter..." I commented before feeling the collar slipping out of my fingers and all of a sudden feeling air hit my arms, midriff and shoulder, "The fuck?" I looked down ad saw that my clothes changed shape, with the shirt only covering my bust, the tie having become a large hat on my head, and my coat turned into a robe over my legs.
"Okay, this is the third time already, Fi?" I asked the spirit wanting an explanation, "As there was no way of knowing what your physical form would have been after reaching adulthood, these clothes were made to change shape as necessary." Fi explained, "Okay that's useful." I said thinking of some applications.
Now with lighter clothes I felt better under the sun and proceeded to go further in the accessible area in front of me, "This place is ancient..." I noted, seeing that there were even more ruins than I first thought.
Walking to the other side of a wall, I saw three cages, one with bones, one with a broken robot, and one with rocks, "Logic would suggest..." I rationalized as I put my hand in the cage with rocks and created a bomb in it, and when it exploded it revealed a timeshift stone that also got activated.
Looking around I saw that the cages opened, the robot came back to life, but also the bones, which belonged to one of those red guys, but with a weird weapon and then I noticed that there were more than the one in the cage, "Dammit..." I lamented before taking out my sword and start cutting at them.
When I hit, they blocked, which wasn't surprising, what was surprising is that I got shocked by their weapon, "...Wow..." I said recovering from the shock before smirking and grabbing at it feeling the current run through me, "T-t-thi-i-is a-ac-ctu-tu-al-l-ly fe-e-ls ni-i-ce-e." I said before the monster began running horrified that I was basically undamaged, "...What is that weird?" I asked the robot and Fi, "So incredibly weird that it's weird even by your standards." The sword spirit responded with an actually worried tone.
"Yeah no one I know would say they like getting sho-oh my Goddess!" The robot stopped when he realized who he was talking to, "Yeah, yeah, mighty aberration, yada yada yada." I summarized rudely not wanting to hear it again, "Rrright!" The robot said awkwardly before seemingly remembering something, "Oh right! Someone mighthave told you already, but I've been told to inform you that 'you aren't limited to what you think you can do', I'm not really sure what it means." The robot explained.
Left with that I now got quite confused, "Got it..." I look around wondering where to go next when I noticed none other than Gorko following a path, "OH!" I let out realizing he'll definetly know stuff, and start running after him.
In the path there was a pit of quicksand, "Been there, done- YEOWCH!?" I stopped when I tried stabbing my claws in the ruin wall, only getting them snapped off, "No climbing..." I summarized looking at the statues covering the walls, "Maybe bombs, but I can't reach... Wait." I thought of a solution, making a beetle and making it a bomb, "So that what 'you aren't limited' means." I smirked as I sent three beetles.
When the beetles exploded, the statues fell and created a path, "Perfect!" I exclaimed jumping from statue to statue, and then after running across raised ground in quicksand I manged to follow Gorko.
Finding myself in a new area I saw that there was a canyon with a few rock formation barely holding what was build on them, "Well." I get out my slingshot and shot a timeshift stone I spotted, causing a cart to start working and saw that it was heading to another rock formation, so I got on it and found another railway with a broken cart, seeing a timeshift stone, I just tiptoed on the rail to the other side.
Getting there, I saw Gorko looking at a collapsed entrance, "Gorko! I was just trying to find you!" I greeted the Goron, "Oh hey there! You're really going everywhere." He noted to which I scratched the back of my head, "Question, you know of any place that looks like a holy location?" I asked simply.
In response to the question, Gorko pointed to the collapsed entrance, "...Fuck..." I cursed.
It has been decided to keep Vexalia as the main character, thanks to all those who gave their opinion on the matter, but now another thing I would like to ask, next volume is Minish Cap, and I am going to give three codenames that will alter something, I won't say what, but it will be major, so just comment which of these three codes you want: Ogre; Ghost; Beast.
