The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time: A Twist of Fate

Chapter 9: A Sticky Situation

So, things got pretty weird after Saria and I had played that prank on Mido. We ran out of magic for one thing, and then we got eaten by a fish. And now, with the help of a young Zora princess, together we will find a way out of the inside of this fish's belly and bring the three spiritual stones to Zelda like she had instructed me to do.

There was no light for me and Saria to see, and shortly after it disappeared we landed in a giant area full of stomach acid. Luckily, it only tingled and did not kill us outright though if we stayed in it too long we would die. We frantically swam around breaking the surface just before we drowned and blindly swam around looking for land, eventually finding a piece of half digested fish food, that we climbed on.

"Are we going to die?" Saria asked me.

"No," I said, shaking my head, not that she could see. "We'll find a way out and get back to shore where our guardian fairies are waiting for us."

"How?" Saria asked, "We have no supplies, no weapons, no magic, and we don't even have any clothes."

"We'll think of something," I responded, feeling Saria find my hand. "All we have to do is figure out how to get this fish to puke us up, then get back to shore. It's not like it can leave the pond."

"I trust you," Saria sighed before using her hands to trace my arm to my face by feel, and bringing her head close enough I could feel her breath, moving around until it was on my lips, like my breath was obviously on her lips. "But just in case, I want you to know... I love you."

With that she brought our lips together in a kiss, making me lose myself in pleasure. "I love you too. Now let's get out of here."

"Right!" Saria agreed before we sank back underacid as the fish we were in moved around so much we got thrown off our 'land'. Worse it continued on, every time we got back to the surface, the fish would move and knock us around. Eventually, we hit the stomach wall hard enough to knock us out.

When we came too we could see, and were floating in a huge pool of acid on a piece of flesh.

"We can see?" Saria asked, looking around, "I guess our eyes adjusted. Though I didn't think we were this small compared to the fish."

Looking around I had to agree. The fish was big, but this appeared to be the stomach of something the same size to the fish that we were to it. Though that was impossible, something that size would never fit in the pond.

"I guess we only saw part of it," I responded, being the only thing I can think of.

Looking at the nearby wall I saw it was a platform made of flesh, right next to our ride. "Let's get out of this acid, before pur ride melts."

Saria nodded at that and put her hands on the fleshy platform with me. It felt warm, and had a strange texture, but had veins sticking slightly out that someone our size could use as a ladder.

"Is that a door made of flesh?" I asked.

"It must be a valve," Saria said. "Fleshy doors that stop things from getting where they shouldn't be."

"Well, it looks like we can make it through," I noted seeing how the connecting flaps of the valve left a small gap, for someone our size, though it was a tight squeeze, making us crawl the entire way, while feeling two pieces of flesh pinning us that we had to lift one of while we moved in single file.

When I got to the end I stopped, blushing when Saria's head bumped face first into my backside when she didn't stop in time. I opened my mouth to talk, only to get a mouthful of fishy flesh, and just moved sideways until I could get to an area of the valve flap that was not blocked by giant webbing made of skin. Once through we moved through a tunnel leading to an area with two flesh platforms and an area un the middle with more acid, and several enemies. Luckily they were too big to notice us, but to get to the other side we would have to swim through the acid. With a sigh we jumped in, unfortunately we learned quickly this acid was far stronger than the stomach acid, which didn't make sense, but this acid actually burned.

With tears in our eyes we made it to the fleshy platform sticking out of the acid, and panted, spending several minutes recovering before doing it again. When we got out, using the veins as a ladder again we were tender all over with red skin, though thankfully no blisters. We continued on our way to another valve, this time Saria went first and on purpose stopped so I would go face first into her backside, as retaliation for before. This led to a giant room made of flesh, and looking around was a upper floor we decided was probably closer to the exit, since when you swallow things go down, and a giant fish was probably the same.

However, we were tired, and decided to go to sleep for the night in a alcove protected by an electrified tentacle, where we were planning to have it protect us. only to notice a valve at the back of the alcove that we decided to see if it led to a room empty of monsters, only to find the Zora Sapphire on a fleshy platform surrounded by a small acid moat.

"That's the Zora Sapphire! What's it doing here? With that once we get back out of here I'll have all three spirual stones Zelda asked me to get," I said remembering Zelda showing me a picture during the two weeks I stayed with her, before becoming depressed. "But how would I carry it at this size?"

"If it is the same as the Kokori Emerald, then it will change to a smaller size so that we can carry it with us if we touch it," Saria explained, getting a smile and a nod from me.

Once we crossed the acid moat, and climbed the platform it did indeed shrink down. And afterwards we decided to use the platform as a bed, hugging each other for warmth. In the morning we made our way back to the top floor we had noticed before, and while panting on the fleshy floor we were buried in the floor up to our heads when a female Zora stepped on us while pacing. Worse is she then stopped to talk to herself, though it was impossible to hear through her fleshy fish foot, which was really bad, especially since our heads were the only things sticking out of the ground, and they were stuck between her toes. This is one Zora we did not want to spend time around. The smell alone nearly took us out, especially when she started walking again, and her toes pulled us out of the flesh, and started to play with us unconsciously. Luckily we were able to escape unfortunately without her even realizing she had played with us, we tried to get her attention even climbing her body but failed and just followed the path away from this section. Luckily this led to the mouth where we crawled through the teeth, only to freeze when we saw where we were. At least we knew why there was a Zora despite never having seen one before.
