CHAPTER 7 PART 2
Mila and Cadbury just stared at the trumpet that Laruto was holding. Young Link couldn’t believe it.
Y. Link: you…have a trumpet just like that one?
Mila: y…yes! Exactly like that one! And I think I can remember that tune from somewhere…my Trumpet’s back home!
Laruto: the sage can only be awakened once they are in the possession of their instrument. Mila…go and get your instrument. Farewell, soon-to be sage of the sky temple.
The zora vanished from sight. Mila couldn’t believe her ears.
Mila: I…I’m the sage of the Sky temple??
Cadbury: Oh! Oh that’s not…and to think you were…all along…I didn’t…
Y. Link: wow! Some people get all the breaks. Come on, let’s get back to Windfall.
Everyone walked out of the cave and hopped into King. He swore and told them all to be a bit more careful.
Y. Link: hey! Mila’s the sage of the Sky temple, so rEspEct, ya fat poe!
King: hah! I knew it was a good idea to drag her into this! How’s that for E.S.P?
Mila: I’m…going to be…a sage…
Cadbury: when you become a sage, can you get me an armor suit made out of platinum? Please?
King: you idiot!
Cadbury: only asking…
Young Link conducted the ballad of gales and blew them all back to Windfall island. After the ritual throwing up, Mila and Young Link ran ashore and grabbed Mila’s mother of pearl trumpet.
After a brief goodbye to her dad, Mila was ready to depart for the Sky temple.
Mila: mum gave me this trumpet when I was very little. I never thought it would someday make me a sage…
Y. Link: well now it’s time for you to become a sage…ready to play?
Mila looked up at the evening sky and nodded. Young Link took out the wind waker.
Y. Link: a-one and a-two and a-three…
\/ > ^ \/ > *
Mila played the tune out on her trumpet. She played Young Link’s tune and then kept on playing the song all the way through, even though Young Link had only taught her a little bit.
Laruto even appeared for a few minutes to accompany her. Young Link just kept on conducting for all his worth.
When the Sky god’s Requiem was complete, Mila turned and stared at Young Link.
Mila: I know who I am now…I am definitely the sage of the Sky temple.
King: see? We told you…
Mila: quick. Let’s hurry back to the Sky temple so we can free your friends.
When everyone was in King, Young Link played the ballad of gales again and twirled them off to the Sky temple.
Everyone: RUTH!!! (throw up over the side of King)
King: aw come on, it’s not that bad!
Y. Link: bleah…O.K, come on, let’s get rid of that stone.
Mila stood on one side of the stone and Y. Link stood at the other. Cadbury watched.
Y. Link and Mila: \/ > ^ \/ > *
Whhheeeeee-BLAM!! The rock split down the middle and fell apart exposing the first room of
THE SKY TEMPLE
Young Link looked around the room. It was pretty big. Over one side was a locked door and over the other was an open one. The ceiling seemed to be criss-crossed with strange bridge-like decorations and hanging ropes. A misty, foggy sort of haze floated in the air.
Y. Link: O.K. There doesn’t seem to be anything we can do here. Let’s go through the open door.
The door led to a large flight of stairs and after climbing them, Y. Link, Mila and Cadbury found themselves on floor 2 of the dungeon, standing on a narrow balcony.
Y. Link: hey! I can see the first room from up here!
Mila: yeah…and the next unlocked door is across that big chasm. I bet that if we could somehow lower the ropes on that bridge-like thing, we could walk across.
Y. Link: to do that it looks like we’d have to get to the third floor.
Cadbury: hey, what are those things?
Young Link looked to his left. Hanging down from the ceiling were two statues suspended by ropes. They looked sort of like big stone chickens.
Y. Link: I wonder what would happen if I cut the ropes of those things with my boomarang?
Mila: they’d fall…duh…
Y. Link: yeah. That actually wouldn’t achieve anything, would it? But we can still try it out.
Mila: suit yourself then.
Young Link threw the boomerang and neatly severed the ropes of the giant statues. The stone chickens fell to the ground and then a most extraordinary thing happened.
The whole round ceiling flipped inwards to hang on its side.
Y. Link: oh! I get it! The ceiling is like a big flat bead threaded onto a long iron pole! You one side is heavier than the other, causing it to always flip over on its side! The statues are only there to help balance the weight and make the lighter side heavier where it catches on that brick up there! (points)
By cutting the statues free, we’ve caused the thing to flip again!
Mila: brilliant!
Cadbury: why didn’t I think of that?
Young Link looked down to see a little wooden lever jutting out from the bottom of the now flipped ceiling.
Y. Link: stay here, I’m going to swing across.
Young Link took out his grappling hook and swung across to the other side where another flight of steps awaited him.
Mila: um…that’s all very good for you, but how do we get up?
Y. Link: um…you cant! But don’t worry, I’ll find some way to get you up here.
Young Link turned and ran up the stairs which took him to a room with a locked door. Suddenly, he heard a queer noise behind him.
Ouch. Something sharp and pointy jabbed him in the butt.
Young Link turned around and gave the stupid miniblin a taste of his sword.
Y. Link: take that, you idiotic, butt-jabbing little vermin!
As usual, about ten thousand of the idiotic, butt-jabbing vermin began pouring from the walls. Young link just stood there, slashing the cr*p out of the lot of them until they ceased to appear.
The locked door opened and a chest dropped. It contained a compass.
Y. Link: and I didn’t lose a single heart. How about that!?
Just as Young Link suspected, the locked door led to the third floor. He was instantly faced with the big semi-circle of the flipped ceiling. It was identical to the other side, except instead of a bridge on it, it had some sort of lever. An idea entered Young Link’s head.
Young Link looked up. There, on the roof, was another beam. He used this to swing across to the other side where there was a locked door.
Young Link ignored it.
He turned around and threw his grappling hook at the beam attached to the end of the ceiling and pulled with all his might. Slowly but surely, the ceiling flipped back the way it was before.
Young Link felt a bump underneath him as the statues he’d cut off earlier magically re-attached themselves, balancing the weight of the ceiling again.
Now Young Link could clearly see the puzzle. He took out his Deku leaf and shot a blast of air at the levers, lowering the bridge for Mila and Cadbury down on the second floor. Pleased with himself, Y. Link placed a bomb near the warp pot in the corner and waited for Mila and Cadbury to arrive. Sure enough, they did.
Mila: that was great!
Y. Link: yeah, I know. Now we just have to find a way to open this door…
Mila: that door looks like it doesn’t take a key…
Y. Link scratched his head. Was he finally stumped? Find out next weekend! I’m so sorry for this awfully short update. Ta-ta!
Mila and Cadbury just stared at the trumpet that Laruto was holding. Young Link couldn’t believe it.
