Legend Of Zelda: Even After Termina

Chapter 4: Happy Mask Salesman

I couldn't believe it... The Happy Mask Salesman! The same one that I had to give Majoras Mask to in clock town! He still had that devilish smile that always gave me the creeps... "What mission have you continued now link?" He asked me that question and I hesitantly asked him a question. "How did you know where I was?" I couldn't tell if he was looking at me or if he had his eyes closed because his eyes were squinted along with his smile... "The power within me is stronger than what you could imagine! How do you think I obtained Majoras Mask? Asking for it? Ha! I had to FIGHT for this..." He was starting to scare me more than usual... "Now link. Answer my question." I wanted to answer him but if I told him, I'm afraid that I would be giving him too much information. I stood there with a stare. The environment and the surrounding of the trees made him look ominous which added a bit of intimidation to him. "Link? Are we not friends?" I answered. "No." His devilish smile became a blank face. "So what was the absolute reason for giving me the mask?" He asked. "To save the rest of Termina and the world." He has a grim and menacing look upon his face as if he received news he wished he hadn't heard from me. "Oh... Now that quite disappointing isn't it? Looks like I can't help you reveal the truth on why or how you died..." He said. "How do you know about that?!" He faded away before he could answer. I should have kept my mouth shut or otherwise I would've been able to figure out what's going on... But how does he know about all of this? I continued on my way and there were a few encounters of some odd creatures but along the way, The Happy Mask Salesman's voice echoed through my mind... Could he really be the way I get out of this? As each day crept by, I kept wondering how much longer I become a Skull Kid... After all... I am nothing but a ghost. A wondering soul... The days of Termina keep coming and going through my mind and my Ocarina's powers don't work in these woods... A majority of the time, my mirror shield kept me alive... These little things going on here are disturbing me to no end... I've lived through rough and thin but this is a never ending problem. The realizations that I'm getting through this journey is unbearable and to know that I'm not even close to my destination makes it even worse. I can't believe it but I have to go through with this for the sake of the world and for my sanity... I still don't believe that I'm dead but what other choice do I have? I saw my own body lying there in the catacomb... If this is what I think this is, my entirety on earth was in vain... Evil has not been conquered, I have not saved anybody that I think I have and worst of all... Zelda's dream was just... A dream... For everything that I've done to just throw it away like that kills me on the inside... It's unbearable but I have got to get through this... I continue on with my journey and there he was... Someone I thought I'd never see again... The Great Deku Tree...
