"Alright Peter, I'm back again. What needs to be done tonight?" I ask. Suddenly, I'm faded back into the same blinding, white room.

"Your job is in the next unlocked door in the back of the first floor. I will explain as soon as you get to the job site." I turned left and went down that way instead. I heard a clanking behind me, so I walked a little faster. Clank. Clank. Clank. It followed me through the long corridor. Once I turned around and turned on my flashlight, though, whatever it was wasn't there. I turned back around and kept on stepping.

There it was, the third locked door unlocked. I put my hand on the doorknob when I heard:

"You will need help." I jumped a half circle and flipped my flashlight on to find a girl of about my age with a wand in-hand.

"How do I know I can trust you?" I asked firmly yet unafraid. Once again, I ended up in the same eternal, white abyss.

"She is the sorceress I have sent to support you in your quest from hither on out," the great Goddess Farore told me. The blinding light left me blinded for a few minutes as I had to adjust back to the darkness.

"I'm sorry for asking that."

"No, no, it's fine. I understand why you asked," she replied with a soft and gentle voice.

"Might I ask who you are, Mary?"

"I am the sorceress Keturah. To whom am I speaking?"

"It's Link, but before it was changed I was known as Albert."

"Oh, now I remember."

"Anyways, you said I'd need help? Do you happen to know what is behind this door?"

"It is your turn to tame Atarah," Peter said before Keturah could speak.

"Well, it's a good thing I brought my blade with me," I said.

"And my sorcery with me," Keturah replied.

"You ready?"

"No."

"Oh. That's right. Peter, what are its strengths and weaknesses?" I asked the A.I.

"Strengths: sharp claws, martial arts, muscles, and strong bite. Weaknesses: Core is very fragile."

"Strong bite?" I realized Peter did lie about it not being registered. "Why did you lie about the animatronic I saw last night?"

"I figured it would make you not come back." That had me thinking, but no matter. I had to tame the bunny animatronic Atarah.

"Okay, whenever you're ready," I said to Keturah. She nodded at me, so I opened the door slowly while unsheathing my sword (whatever it was called). I turned on my flashlight, which was at seventy-five percent power, and looked around. I saw nothing but a messed-up med-bay. There was a bed torn to pieces with blood stains on what was left of it. Next to it was a closet of some sort which was scratched up yet the only piece of furniture in decent condition. "He had to have come from there," I whispered to her. As soon as I said that, I instantly yelped as the thin metal of a hand pierced my flesh and sent me back in pain. Keturah instantly used her sorcery to bring light to the entire room just to reveal the same animatronic I had seen the night before. I was able to still fight well. I immediately started clashing and slashing at Atarah with skill and strategy. I was doing very well at fighting until that one moment when its teeth dive into and pierce my juicy arm, when blood squirts everywhere, and I can't fight anymore. That's when Keturah heals me to the best of her ability just to be bitten herself. As the blood squirts from her handless right arm, I take my sword and thrust it through his chest, only to realize I did something I shouldn't have done...
