Waking of Friday, August 11, 2017
You know, lately I try not to play too far ahead before
I’ve written up my adventures so far. I really do. But man....
I don’t know what came over me on
this day. It’s a Zelda game. It’s a siren. It’s Blow it all I just wanna play the game and be the Hero. Escape to
Hyrule. Divert my mind. Fly me away and tell me stories....
I was still in the deepest recesses
of the Forgotten Temple.
David said he’d just warped out of
that one. But.... There were no convenient shrines to warp to outside. I think
the closest one was Ketoh Wawai, and that one was all in the dark with a Hinox next
to it.
I didn’t want to have to traverse
any huge distances again. How was I going to get out of here?
....
Well, I decided to just try the
same way I’d gotten in—on the air
currents. I climbed up the giant Goddess statue for some altitude (pardon
me, Lady) and wouldn’t you know.... I made it out unscathed this time! ^_^
After that I climbed back up to
where the shrine-detector had vexed me, near where I’d met Yammo and seen my
first Tabantha Moose.
My blue marker was right there on that red mountain.
What had I seen on top of that
mountain?
I needed to go get it—NOW.
It had always been my wont to keep so many things in reserve until NEVER,
because what if I had more urgent need of them down the road?
But I chucked that notion out the
window as I perused my very old stock of Spicy Omelets. Surely they should have
molded over by now.... but! My hammerspace pockets seemed also to act as the
perfect preservation larder.
I ate an omelet, and charged up the road, not stopping for
anything! I scrambled over the rough red rocks, straight up the mountainside!
My blue marker drew nearer in my HUD map....! And UP over a little crest and it
would be in sight!
I had a little difficulty focusing
on it however as I seemed to have disturbed a little camp of cold-blooded
baddies. Bokoblins, Ice Keese, White Chuchus.
I swiveled my scope madly—there it was! My blue marker!
It was a tree.
I had placed it on the naked trunk
of a frozen tree.
....
I ran toward it! Straight through
the baddie-camp and further up the hill! Passed the tree, the marker
disappeared, and I kept running! I didn’t care to engage any of those things
just now!
But higher up on the crest of the
mountain was something that made me pull up a short. o_o I snapped its
pictograph just as it turned its massive head and noticed me.
A Great-Horned Rhinoceros.
It was big, and woolly! With a
blue-grey coat, and an enormous
mean-lookin’ horn on its nose!
It charged and I jumped out of the way! Turned and pinked
it with my sword. It bellowed and ran away. I ran but couldn’t catch it....
fired one arrow—it groared again—landed a second arrow....!
And it was down!
That was a great lotta meat to
harvest! I scooped it all up quick and skipped up to the very tip of the
mountain.
The warming effect from my spicy
omelet would run out soon.... I decided I would paraglide back to the warmer climes!
And I did—it was a very long flight and I started freezing
before I escaped the frigid air. But I managed to touch down on a warmer hill
just above where I had started, near that bend in the path that curves around
the head of the Forgotten Temple Valley.
GOT the blue marker!
Where to next? :D
