Majora's Mask: Diary of Kafei

Zelda Veteran · July 11, 2008, 12:07:51 AM

Friday-5:07PM :

I'm so stoked for my wedding! I love her more than anything in the whole wide world! Anju is my everything, my dove, and the reason I get out of bed every morning! She's the reason the clouds are so puffy, and reason the grass is so green! Last week, I asked her to marry me, and she said yes!! The wedding is on tomorrow, and I'm so happy I could cry!! I'm heading out with some friends tonight to the local tavern, and we're going to celebrate! Bye for now, I have to get ready. Oh, happy day!!

Saturday 11:43PM :

I don't know what happened... or how. I haven't the slightest clue why the strange twists of events are occurring... but the Four guardians must be angry. My image has changed... I'm young- far too young for a wedding. I couldn't let Anju see me like this... I had to skip out on the wedding. I can only cringe at how Anju must feel now, thinking I deserted her... Worse yet, there are rumors floating around that the moon is getting closer. I don't know what to think of these rumors, as I never paid close enough attention to the moon to see if it had moved at all. The astronomer up on the hill swears it though. Is this because I upset Anju, the most beautiful creature to descend from the heavens? That I cannot tell for now. I've hidden my face behind a mask resembling a Keaton. I can't let anyone see me like this, especially not Anju- Oh Anju! Oh Anju how my heart weeps for your own. You must think I don't care. I'll be sending you a letter soon, so worry not. For now, I'll try to sleep on the thought of her crying face...

Sunday 10:03AM :

So it wasn't a dream... I'm still young, and more heartbroken than before. I don't know how to cope with this. But I'm starting to remember what happened last night. A child in a mask- no. I demon in the cursed mask. He's the one who turned me into this. I remember the glowing eyes... I sent the letter to Anju about an hour or so ago. I can only hope that it reaches her eyes quickly. I can't stand this anymore... I don't know what I'm to do, but I'm going to see if I can head over to Anju's tonight and explain things. I don't want her to see me like this, but I don't want her thinking that I don't love her either. I have to do something. On another note, I took a look outside this morning, and the moon has definitely gotten closer. People are starting to go so far as to leave town. Some of the soldiers got in a dispute with the man in charge of the Annual Festival today. They're actually discussing whether or not they should evacuate the citizens. That's all I'll write for now. I'll write again soon.

Monday 2:44AM :

Its late, or early rather. I'm so tired, and so weary. However, I find it near impossible to rest. I talked with Anju, and horrified as she was, she pretended to accept me as a child. She said she still loved me, but I don't know what to believe... Walking home from the Stock Pot Inn, I noticed a man following me. When I turned to look, he'd act as if he wasn't looking in my direction, but I knew better. He had a plain white threaded T-shirt on, and seemed really happy about something. I hastened my pace, and tried to lose him, but he gave chase. He ran in a really odd way, but was still faster than me. He hit me pretty hard, and I lost consciousness. My cheek is swollen a bit, but that's not what I'm worried about. He stole my mask. My wedding mask, that I made for Anju. He thinks he got away with it too... But I happen to know that he visit's the Black Market every night at 10:00PM to try and sell what he steals from people. The back wall of the market lies just on the other side of a wall in my room. I can see who goes in, and who buys what. He hasn't come yet, but I'll be watching.

Tuesday 2:00PM :

I woke up about an hour ago, and I'm making preparations to get my mask back. I'm running on two hours of sleep, but that's enough. He came last night to the Black Market, but didn't sell my mask. I don't know what he'd want to keep it for, but I tracked him all the way through Ikana to find his hideout. It'll be about a 3½ to a 4 hour trip there, but I'm taking a potion to keep my strength up. Luckily for me, I met a boy clothed in green recently. Anju trusts, and so do I. He's going to help me get my mask back tonight before the carnival. Speaking of the annual carnival, it doesn't look like we'll have a big turnout this year. Despite the mayor's orders, the guards are advising people to evacuate, and most have. I've never seen Clock Town so barren. Of course, the moon is closer than it ever has been before... that thing might actually just fall! Even my closest friends have left town, But not Anju. I promised her I'd get the mask back, and I will. I told Link (that's the name of the boy in green) to meet me near where the thief's hideout is tonight at Six, so I'd better get going. I'll write back tonight if the world doesn't end...

Wednesday 5:00PM :

I didn't get a chance to write back... BECAUSE I WAS AT THE WEDDING! She married me! As a child, she married me!! I can't believe it! She loved me after all! Oh Anju, how foolish was I to think your love for me had faded along with my adulthood? I got my mask back, thanks to the boy in green- and he was even there to see me return my mask to Anju. We both thanked him with the Couple's Mask that came of our bonding masks, and he rushed off in such a hurry we didn't even get to say goodbye. Everyone in Clock Town witnessed a miracle that night. The Four Guardians came to Clock Town's aid when the moon threatened to crush it! It was absolutely breath-taking to see them work together to save Termina like that, and nobody who was there will ever forget it. I saw Link talking to the mask salesman outside the Town walls earlier this morning, but that was the last I saw of him. Him and his horse seemed to disappear completely. I've been asking around for him today, and nobody seems to remember him at all! Its as if he never existed... Anju and I remember though... If I have time, I'll write about our honey-moon tonight. Until then...

Bravo. Excellent writing. Just a couple of things. I'm not quite sure anyone would have used "stoked," but meh, small detail. Who knows, maybe they did in that setting.

The second thing appears in the Tuesday entry. You wrote, "Anju trusts, and so do I." Did you mean "Anju trusts him, and so do I"?

1. Yeah, I thouht about that for a while too HNS.

2. I also gave that a little thought after posting. I decided to leave that as it is because it has more of a vague meaning that way.
Anju and I trust "him"?
or
Anju and I trust
IE what the Goddesses send/do/fate/etc.
