Chapter 22: Doing Chores (1/2)
Vexalia sat in the cafeteria back at Knight Academy brooding slightly, "So you know Zelda is okay..." Gaepora sighed in relief having just heard Vexalia's retelling, "Yeah, but I need to figure out where she went, I know she'll be fine, but I have no idea where she went now..." Vexalia explained while rubbing her forehead.
"You should take a proper rest, not like what you did when you almost died." Gaepora instructed prompting a groan from Vexalia, "No! I won't take take you groaning like that! You rest and thats final!" He insisted with a tone that left no room for debate.
5 minutes later.
So now Vexalia gathered all the Goddess rewards she got from the cubes, "Why are there all these red gems exactly?" Vexalia asked Fi, "As previously stated they store damage you've taken and get rid of it when naturally healing." The spirit explained, "So that's why I haven't gotten as damaged as I should have..." Vexalia realized before remembering of another red gem.
Pumpkin Landing.
Now in the locale, Vexalia sent out a beetle to colect the red gem on the chandelier, which didn't go unnoticed by Pumm, "Oh you actually got it!" He exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't think you'd actually manage to get it down, but I'm glad you did, the customers were complaining it thre off the chandelier." He said with a smile while something formed over his head and landed in Vexalia's hand.
"...What's this?" Vexalia asked a now confused Pumm, "I have no idea, that's a first..." He responded with a slight scratch of his head, "...Wait I think I know what this is... Thank you for it!" The heroine exclaimed before running out of the place, "You're welcome?" Pumm responded in confusion.
Back at Skyloft, went in the Bazar to try and get some stuff, "Wow you look rough!" She exclaimed, noticing how the potioner's husband seemed sleep deprived, "Wha- oh, yeah... we lost our daughter's rattle and she has been restless without it..." He explained, "I see... I'll find it." Vexalia offered before leaving to not give room for rebuttal.
Outside the Bazar, Vexalia sent a beetle flying around until it found the rattle in a birds nest, prompting her to go back in with it and hand it to the father, "Wow! You found it already? Thank you!" He exclaimed as he took the rattle and Gratitude Crystals fell into Vexalia's hand.
Now with ten Gratitude Crystals, Vexalia followed the instructions Batreaux gave and found the way through the cemetery to his house, "Hey Batreaux! Got some of those things you wanted!" Vexalia exclaimed as she handed over the crystals.
The demon looked elated as he took them and they got absorbed into his skin, "Yeees!! i can feel the demonic energy leaving my body already!" He cheered like a child, "Although I can tell this is nowhere near enough..." He said sadly, "I'd say I need at least another fifty." He explained before handing Vexalia two silver rupees, "Don't worry, I got a lot of things to do right now that might get me more." She reassured before heading off again.
Walking around Skyloft, Vexalia sent some beetles to try and find people who may need help, and while she did find them, she also found Gratitude Crystals laying around for absolutely no reason, "...Wait, Batreauxs instructions said that unless in possession of someone, these can only be seen at night..." She remembered before looking up at the sky and seeing that it's night, "...Fuck." She cursed.
Running around a bit she spotted Beedles shop flying overhead and heading off of Skyloft and decided to take the impulsive action of climbing on the tower in the plaza and jumped on Beedles shop for safety from the monsters, "Hey sorry I just hopped on, but at this hour they close the gates and I didn't wanna take the alternate monster infested route." Vexalia excused herself.
Beedle looked at the girl slightly confused, "It's no problem? I guess?" He reassured, "But since you're gonna be sticking on here buy something!" He said, "Sure." Vexalia agreed, looking at the counter a moment before taking the net and an additional pouch, "Huh, I wasn't expecting you to choose those..." Beedle commented.
Vexalia looked at him confusedly, "What else would I need to buy exactly?" She asked curiously, "I was thinking you'd get something to help with your eye bleeding." Beelde explained causing Vexalia to make a face, "Bleeding?" She questioned even more confused than before.
