Waking of Monday, April 22, 2019 ~ 5
I clung to the castle’s apex, beneath the blustery, unholy skies.
Talk about King Of The Mountain Syndrome.
....I should check and see whether I really can get onto one of those Guardians atop one of the Five Columns, I thought.
Fathomless tiers of glaring castle-land tapered dizzily in the doom-glow beneath my feet.
Oh my gosh.
But which column?
I got the memory.
Which column....
The one I knew had a Guardian?
Dad was here and the ensuing atmosphere was tight and hard. Didn’t want to move....
And I was getting hungry.
I had not eaten all day today.
I am on top of the tallest, tallest Castle Spire.
Where to go from here....
Hmm....
I considered the northern Pillar.
Noo, I already know it has one.
Then.... one of the ones toward the field. For I wanted to fly afterward. Guardian or no.
7:05 am.
The sun was rising.
I go.
After spending the night on this godforsaken spire....
I jumped at 8:45 am toward the southeastern Column, the one on the way to the eastern edge of Hyrule Field. Seemed the safest.
There was a Guardian up there.
I landed on its head. It seemed to be dead.
The air was so much clearer down here. Am I.... Am I out of the Malice? I think I am.... No I’m still in it. Just down in the clearer air is all.
I could go anywhere from here.
I will.
But.... first.... remembering my clipping mishap through the northern Pillar.... I wondered if I could stand on this column.
Hop down from the Guardian....
I can.
....
Neat.
....
There wasn’t a lot of room or much to do.
....
....
I’m going to visit Benny.
....
Okay didn’t quite make it to Benny’s, but bent wide to the east to avoid the field Guardians. Killed the Hinox, got guts, sweet. Then to Benny’s.
Then the Stable was right there. Wetland Stable. Save Leekah, go to Stable. Blood Moon.
Hmmmmm....
Could go get Hinox guts again....
Think I’ll just sleep here at the Wetland Stable. It’s 1:00 in the morning, game time. Sleep until morning, yeah. I am half-dead.
Sleep. Get back hearts.
It’s raining in the morning.
****
Okay boot it up one more time before bed just to.... get my fix....
I watch all the memories I have in order. With Mom because she’s sweet.
And now.... things are beginning to make more sense to me, recalling it all in order.
We watched them all. Some of them I hadn’t even seen since the very first time I saw them. For I didn’t let myself go back very often, if ever. Even when I was first recording them.
Cinematics, viewed often, lose their charm after all.
But now seeing them all....
That was special.
....
But there is still that.... hole.... there, near the bottom of the list.
Between Despair and Hope.
What happened to me?
I feel like.... I might see Garill again soon.
I do like Garill.
I’ll find out.
Very soon.
