Trick or trivia

Happy Halloween! I do enjoy trivia of many types, but one of my favorite genres is what I call the Berenstein Timeline: unmade shows and movies, versions of classic movies where studios and producers made different decisions, some better, some much worse. All of these are real projects that were, on some level, considered (there are some recurring names)

"Heat Vision & Jack", a 90s pastiche of 70s-80s action shows starring Jack Black as an astronaut on the run from the law and Owen Wilson as his talking motorcycle

"Jurassic Park" directed by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp as Alan Grant, Jim Carrey as Ian Malcolm, and Vincent Price as John Hammond

the 90s "Batman" directed by Ivan Reitman; Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy were going to star but couldn't decide which of them would be Batman and which would be Robin

Back in the 1970s the American network was getting good numbers showing heavily-edited reruns of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", so they tried to sell the Pythons on the next logical step: an animated Saturday morning cartoon

"Edward Scissorhands" still directed by Burton but starring Tom Cruise or maybe Michael Jackson

"Return of the Jedi" directed by David Lynch; Harrison Ford was considering not coming back for the third movie and so when he came out of the carbonite there was a chance he would have been Christopher Walken

Guillermo del Toro's "At the Mountains of Madness". Also "the Hobbit" and lots of other things, he seems to have a lot of unmade projects

the 2010s "Star Trek" movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, where the edgy reboot crew visits the Gangster Planet from that one stupid episode of the original series

Everybody knows about the unmade "Superman Lives" starring Nicolas Cage in the title role, but did you know it was going to be directed by Tim Burton and include Christopher Walken as Brainiac, who would have been a green head on spider legs

Harold Ramis didn't particularly want to act on camera, so when they were casting "Ghostbusters" Egon could have been Christopher Walken, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, or John Lithgow. Supposedly the movie was originally intended to be a relatively serious exploration of Dan Akroyd's very real interest in paranormal investigation, although this clashes a bit with the fact that Peter Venkman was originally going to be played by John Belushi and Winston Zeddmore was written for Eddie Murphy who backed out when the character's backstory and most of his lines were cut

John Waters' animated series "Uncle John" on 90s MTV

the original version of "Bill & Ted's Time Van" starring Pauly Shore and Sean Penn

"Red Dragon" (the original Hannibal Lecter novel) directed by David Lynch starring John Lithgow as Hannibal Lecter and Mel Gibson as Will Graham

the 1970s "Dr. Strange" TV series

the 1990s Disney animated "John Carter of Mars"

the 1990s Warner Bros animated "King Tut" musical with songs by Prince

the serious horror version of "Beetlejuice"

Drew Barrymore's 2000s remake of "Barbarella"

the Dungeons & Dragons movie James Cameron was going to make until TSR left the table over merchandising disputes, forcing Cameron to go work on some dumb movie about the Titanic

American "Doctor Who" movie starring Michael Jackson

Canadian "Doctor Who" cartoon by Nelvana starring a Doctor based intensely off of either Jeff Goldblum or Christopher Lloyd

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" directed by Terry Gilliam

"Good Omens" directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Robin Williams

"The Black Cauldron" using character and background designs by Nightmare-era Tim Burton

WHO IS IT GOING TO BE???!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Hell is locked down and no one is leaving until they have a new leader

And now they are going to fight

HOLY SHIT

SCHMEGAN

“Only one gets to leave alive”

So overall thoughts…. Good episode. Kinda went by quick tho but could’ve been because I split it up instead just listening to it all in one sitting

After this fight and hell leader thing I feel like will is just gonna drop a bombshell of family angst and problems on us when its time for the oaks to give their daddy magic.

But Terry and scarys reunion omg

Opinione impopolare, ergo non insultatemi.

Detto ciò...

Ho visto il trailer di Santocielo di Ficarra e Picone e sinceramente tutte queste somiglianze con Good Omens non le ho viste.

L'unica cosa uguale, forse, e che l'angelo è biondo, ma poi basta!

Non mischiamo un'opera come Good Omens con un film qualsiasi solo perché c'è un Angelo!

Sarà che io non sono fan dei due comici (sono simpatici lo ammetto) e il film non mi dice più di tanto.

A mio avviso sono due cose completamente diverse! E nessuno può eguagliare Aziraphale e Crowley, usciti dalle penne di Neil Gaiman e Terry Pratchett.

Vedrò il film? Forse, non lo so. Se lo trovo in TV magari ci do un occhio.

Però il paragone personalmente non lo vedo e mai lo vedrò.

Ps. Giovanni che interpreta Dio è meraviglioso.

Storia Di Musica #275 - AA.VV. - The Indian Runner (O.s.t.), 1991

La colonna sonora di oggi ha una storia davvero particolare. Sean Penn, al suo primo film da regista, ha una folgorazione ascoltando un disco, tanto che decide di scrivere una sceneggiatura basandosi sulla storia raccontata da un brano in particolare: Highway Patrolman di Bruce Springsteen, da quel capolavoro che è Nebraska (1982). Il film, The Indian Runner (1991, in italiano intitolato Lupo Solitario) racconta di Joe e Frank Roberts. Joe è lo sceriffo di una piccola cittadina agricola del Nebraska, Plattsmouth, Frank è un soldato dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti. La vita dei due fratelli separati è scossa dalla morte della madre prima e poi dal suicidio del padre. Frank incontra il fratello dopo essere tornato dalla guerra in Vietnam. È diventato un uomo scontroso e cupo, incapace di starsene fuori dai guai. Joe cerca di ricostruire una vita per lui e per suo fratello, Frank ha una relazione con una ragazza del posto, Dorothy, con cui avrà un figlio. Quando tutto sembra mettersi per il meglio, Frank dopo un diverbio uccide il gestore del bar della piccola cittadina, Caesar, e scappa, inseguito dal fratello, che combattuto tra il dovere e l’affetto al confine della contea decide... (beh conviene vederlo il film no?). Interpretato tra gli altri da David Morse (Joe Roberts), Viggo Mortensen (Frank Roberts), Valeria Golino (Maria, moglie di Frank), Patricia Arquette (Dorothy, la compagna di Frank), Charles Bronson e Sandy Dennis (i coniugi Roberts) e Dennis Hopper (Caesar, il gestore del bar ucciso da Frank) fu poco distribuito, nonostante sia molto apprezzato dalla critica e abbia una regia particolare, con scelte registiche non canoniche (tra rimandi ai film di John Cassevetes, e scene inusuali cui un parto ripreso quasi in prima persona e scene di nudo maschili). La colonna sonora è divisa in due parti: una su brani classici e l’altra con il contributo di due grandi musicisti, Jack Nitzsche e David Lindley. Nitzsche è stato uno dei grandi produttori, arrangiatori e sessionisti della musica americana: braccio destro di Phil Spector, co autore di numerose hit con Sonny Bono, suonò il piano in alcuni dei più bei dischi dei Rolling Stones (Paint It Black, Let’s Spend The Night Together e le orchestrazioni di You Can’t Always Get What You Want), fido collaboratore di Neil Young, e autore, per limitarci alle colonne sonore, di quelle mitiche di Qualcuno Volò Sul Nido Del Cuculo e de L’Esorcista. David Lindley è un altro pezzo da novanta, definito una volta dalla rivista Acoustic Guitar un maxi-strumentista per la quantità di strumenti che sapeva perfettamente suonare. Produttore di, tra gli altri, Linda Ronstadt, Curtis Mayfield, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Terry Reid, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Joe Walsh, Leonard Cohen, Ry Cooder, Ben Harper e soprattutto Dolly Parton. Suonò anche con un interessantissimo gruppo sperimentale, i Kaleidoscope, ed è uno dei maggiori collezionisti di strumenti al corda del pianeta. I due scrivono le musiche, per lo più strumentali, che accompagnano le immagini del film, tra meraviglie come Flop House, Brothers, Indian Summer e My Brother Frank che termina con i titoli di coda. La prima parte invece racchiude alcuni gioielli della stagione d’oro del rock, che sebbene non legati filologicamente con il periodo della nostra storia, sono scelte azzeccatissime. Si inizia con Feelin’ Alright, nella versione originale dei Traffic (e portato al successo da Joe Cocker), che sfuma poi nella dolcezza di Comin’ Back To Me dei Jefferson Airplane, da quel manifesto della psichedelia che fu Surrealistic Pillow (1967, che inizia con Marty Balin che canta così “The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long\The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone\And through an open window where no curtain hung\I saw you\I saw you\Comin' back to me). Poi arriva la forza di Fresh Air, dei Quicksilver Messenger Service, altra meraviglia della San Francisco rock, da Just For Love (1970), primo disco con il ritorno in formazione di Chester William "Chet" Powers Jr., meglio conosciuto con i suoi nomi d’arte di Dino Valenti e Jesse Oris Farrow (il primo usato prima del suo arresto per possesso di droga, il secondo dal 1970 in poi). Arriva poi Green River, grande classico dei Creedence Clearwater Revival, dall’omonimo album del 1969 (anno in cui registrarono tre dischi capolavoro), e ispirato ad un ricordo d’infanzia di John Fogerty (il Green River era anche il gusto di una famosa bevanda zuccherina per adolescenti). Penn chiama due sue amici, Eric e Brett Haller, a suonare una dolce Brothers For Good, e tra l’altro dopo questa esperienza i due non hanno più suonato in maniera ufficiale in nessun disco che io sia capace di rintracciare. Chiudono poi due capolavori: la Summertime di Janis Joplin, dal capolavoro di George Gershwin per l’opera Porgy And Bess del 1935,e qui lacerata dalla voce unica e inimitabile di Joplin, segnando un’epoca; I Shall Be Released è una canzone di Bob Dylan del 1967, ripresa in Music From The Big Pink (1968) dal grandioso gruppo canadese della The Band, con Richard Manuel alla voce solista, e Rick Danko e Levon Helm alle armonie vocali, uno dei primi brani di Dylan profondamente religiosi, giocato sul simbolismo della redenzione mistica con il rilascio di un detenuto. La canzone, che era presenta nei leggendari Basement Tapes, è una delle più utilizzate di sempre come cover, con centinaia di rivisitazioni. E la canzone di Springsteen da cui tutto parte? Non si è mai capito perchè non compaia, tutta via Springsteen è accreditato come co-sceneggiatore originale. La canzone, ridotta all’osso e malinconica come tutto quel leggendario album, sembra un racconto, ed inizia così:

My name is Joe Roberts, I work for the state I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville, barracks number eight I always done an honest job, as honest as I could I got a brother named Franky, and Franky ain't no good.

P.S. La storia anticipa ad oggi perchè domani vi farò vedere dove sono per un lieto evento.

Bosun Terry Penn

Now it’s time for the Tortle Package. A One-shot character I made for a game where we DEFINITELY weren’t pirates. I’ve actually got a great voice for Sailors/Pirates that I used for Terry (as well as several other characters) that killed. Bosun Terry Penn (Wizard 8)

Tortle - Scribe Wizard - Shipwright - Lawful Neutral

Backstory Used: Born Terry Penn, a part of the Archelon Flotilla, a wandering fleet of ships inhabited solely by Tortle. The ships often mass together forming an entire town in the middle of the ocean. Has obtained a reputation for acting as a rest stop, trading post, and a safe place for repairs in the middle of a long voyage. Even known to allow pirates safe harbor so long as they cause no trouble during their stay. Those that don't follow this one rule find their ship and themselves on the ocean floor. It's inhabitants are known to individually come and go as they please, joining up with ships short on crew mid-voyage to see new ports, learn new skills, and experience more of the ocean blue. Terry originally left the Flotilla on a ship known as the "Sailor's Fortune", where he put the skills he'd obtained on the Flotilla to good use. It was during his time on "The Pinnacle" he found himself promoted from carpenter to Bosun, when the original went overboard and sank like the cannonball that put him there. Since the day he left the Flotilla, Terry has been keeping a journal filled with his more interesting experiences and discoveries, gather knowledge with the goal of taking it back to the Flotilla and making them stronger for it. Due to this search for knowledge, he happened upon sparse arcane tomes in scattered ports and from the occasional stint of piracy. The Tortle studied these tomes, even began to understand their mystical machinations...and very swiftly discovered a problem. Parchment and the sea do not mix well. He'd need ink and a canvas that could resist waters influence. As with all things, his time upon the waves held the answer; in the shape of the oldest artform among sailors. Experimenting with ink and skin, he learned to record arcane glyphs into his own body as tattoos; though he still keeps a spare tome bound in oiled leather, just in case he loses a limb. Now he finds himself once more in port, looking for the next vessel on which he'll serve.

Likes: - Light rain & fare seas - The Pirates Code - Snapper - Fixing things - Sketching - Fine Crafstmenship

Dislikes: - Those that break the Pirates Code - Stormy waters - Poor Craftsmenship - Leaks

Habits: - Calls his Awkwaned Tome "Terry's Terrapin Tome" - Quoting the Pirate Code:

-Pirate Code:

5 - Never split the Party 16 - Let the big guy go first 25 - Never call it Kidnapping or anything else illegal 36 or 63 - There's always room for Violence. Appearance: 5′8, 450 lbs, Green Eyes, Blue Skin. Being a Tortle he didn’t wear a lot of clothes, just a few belts for pouches and holsters. Most important was the tricorn hat on top of his head. He had sort of an alligator snapping turtle look to him, except with a deep blue body, salt encrusted white underbelly, and riddled with barnacles. I put together a terrible token with photoshop for this one.

The image itself is a slightly altered race portrait from Stellaris.

All-Clucking Cucco

Linktober 2023 Day 17: Prophecy

The sprinkling rain had just begun to let up as Spot’s hooves clopped along the northern trail to South Akkala Stable. Frogs splashed into muddy puddles, croaking in delight as their skin absorbed the sky’s waters. Link pushed back his hood, feeling the weight of gathered water slide down his back. That water-proofing layer Sayge added to his Hylian hood was worth every rupee.

He pulled on the reins, clicking his tongue to bid Spot to slow. The horse obliged, settling into a walking gait as they rounded the bend and ascended a small slope to the stable. All the usual comforts of the stable system greeted him: a warm smile and a friendly wave, the scent of meat roasting in a cooking pot, a traveling musician filling the air with pleasant melodies, and the promise of a good night’s rest in a comfortable bed. It would be another full day of travel before he reached Terry Town. While he could wait and save his rupees for a stay in Kapson’s inn, he could also take a detour north to the Ancient Tech Lab to pick up that Travel Medallion.

While he was still making up his mind about which way to go next, a familiar voice called out to him.

“Hey, partner!”

Link pulled back again on the reins, bidding Spot to stop. “Penn?”

The Rito journalist jogged up to him. His ruffled feathers and flight goggles still over his eyes told Link that Penn had also just arrived. “I should have known you’d come here too, with all the rumors going about.”

Link raised a brow but said nothing. He’d not exactly been hanging out in populous places as of late. He’d taken a rather circuitous trip through the foothills of Eldin on his way back from the Great Korok Forest. That was hard enough to enter on its own, given the time he had to spend in the Depths just to get to it. And then there was that whole matter of the spooky malice hands and the creepy demon thing with a sword that tried to kill him, not to mention the whole speech about still not having his sword. He hardly needed a lecture from a tree. To say that Link hadn’t heard any rumors would be the understatement of the century. He wasn’t sure he’d even spoken to another person in over a week.

His silence must have conveyed enough, as Penn soon explained. “There’s been a very alarming prophecy.”

Now, that was interesting. He’d heard of prophecies before. One in particular sent all of Hyrule into a panic over a century ago. If this was anything of the same sort, he’d better take notice. “What sort of prophecy?”

“They say that-“ Penn looked around him, though Link wasn’t quite sure for whom. The Rito lowered his voice and leaned closer. “-that the hero will die.”

Link straightened up in his saddle. So, some oracle is out here predicting his death? They’d better get in line. “That’s pretty vague. Everyone dies eventually, even heroes.”

Penn shook his head vigorously. “No, you don’t understand! The prophecy is that the hero will die in a fight with his greatest adversary!”

Greatest adversary? Shit, who was his greatest adversary? That mummy underneath the castle would probably count as that. He couldn’t really think of anyone else who fit such a description. If this thing was predicting that he’d die in a battle with that mummy, Link might be tempted to lend some credence to it. But, then again, the first prophecy hadn’t proven itself exactly watertight either. “And…people believe it?”

“They do!” Penn exclaimed. “The cucco hasn’t been wrong about anything yet! Come on, I’ll prove it!”

Well, this should be good. Link hopped off his horse. He led Spot by the reins to the stablemaster, who gladly accepted care of the animal after an exchange of rupees.

“Dmitri, this is my partner. We’re investigating a story on the All-Clucking Cucco.” Penn gestured toward Link, who the stablemaster acknowledged with a nod. “Tell him what you told me about the prophecy you received!”

Dmitri smoothed out his mustache (if such a split caterpillar could be rightfully called one), thinking. “Which one?”

“Which-? Any of them will do.” Penn answered. “Haven’t they all come true?”

“Sure have.” The stablemaster confirmed. “The first one was pretty basic. Cucco said it was going to rain that night. And it poured!”

Penn gestured excitedly to Link, who fought to keep from rolling his eyes. Anyone can predict the rain. This was Akkala. It always rains here!

The stablemaster frowned. “Then it said we’d be haunted by the crowing of a lonely spirit. And sure enough, every night since, a lonesome echo has haunted our pasture out back. Awful sound. We’re hoping the cucco soon predicts that it will stop.”

A lonesome spirit? Now, that felt more likely. He’d known Koroks to play such tricks on people. He’d have to investigate for himself later. It was probably nothing more than a repeat of that poor girl who practiced her singing in the bottom of that well.

“And what else?” Penn asked, scribbling notes. When did he get out the notepad?

“Oh, that.” Dmitri shrugged. “It wasn’t about me, so I didn’t pay it any mind. It said the hero would soon fall to the sword of his greatest adversary, whatever that means.”

Penn snapped his notebook shut. “Yes! Exactly! Thank you so much! Do you know anyone else who has gotten their fortune told?”

“Sure.” Dmitri pointed to a group of travelers eating supper in the corner of the stable. “Just about everyone here has had their fortunes told or are waiting to ask for a fortune themselves. That one in the mushroom hat won’t shut up about his.”

Link gave the stablemaster a nod of thanks, letting himself be led by Penn over to the group of travelers. Maybe he could sneak a bowl of meat and mushroom stew while he was here…

“Excuse me, sir!” Penn pushed his way into the group, sitting on the bench between a young man in a CeCe original and a middle-aged woman who looked like she wouldn’t touch fashion to save her life. “Have you spoken to the All-Clucking Cucco?”

The man’s eyes lit up in excitement. “Have I! You wouldn’t believe the incredible things that bird said to me. Firstly, it said: ‘Thou wilt find a treasure on an island to the northeast!’ Or, something like that. I can’t recall the exact words. But that was the gist of it. Treasure, northeast island. I’m not sure which island it was referring to, but I’m very sure that such a treasure exists!”

Penn nodded enthusiastically. “And what makes you so certain, if I might ask?”

“Well, my sister was up this way just the other week. She visited the cucco and had her fortune told. It told her she’d meet a handsome stranger on the road who would change her life.” He grinned broadly. “And she did! On her way from Terry Town, she met Granteson! He told her about some fairly cheap land up here in Akkala and the new dream home project that Hudson started, so she bought a plot and is encouraging her family to join her!”

Penn scribbled down more notes, nodding along. “Did you receive any other prophecies?”

“Oh, yeah.” The man frowned, stirring his stew with a spoon. “They said something troubling about the hero getting chopped to pieces by his greatest adversary.”

Chopped to pieces?! That was a little excessive. First, it was defeat, then it was fall to the sword, and now it’s chopped to pieces? That’s not very nice of a bird to say.

Penn shuddered, obviously equally perturbed by the prophecy. “Er, thank you. What’s your name? I’d like to credit you in this article I’m writing on the subject.”

“Falmak.” The man replied. “That’s with a K, not a C. I know it’s not the usual spelling.” Far be it from Link to know what was and was not the usual spelling of any name in Hyrule. “If you’re doing a report on the All-Clucking Cucco, you could go up with Lonni!” He suggested, gesturing to the woman beside him.

Her eyes widened in surprise at the attention, her features reddening slightly. “Oh, um, yes. I was planning to go up after dinner to have the cucco, um, tell my fortune.” She took a quick sip of ale, not meeting their gaze.

“Wonderful!” Penn jumped up from the bench. In the flurry of feathers, Link grabbed a bowl of stew, hiding it behind his back. “What are you going to ask?”

The woman blushed. “Well… I’m not quite sure yet. I thought maybe I’d ask it about my true love.”

Aw, that was sweet. Good for her, at her age, for still believing she’d meet her true love. He hoped she would, cucco or no cucco.

“An excellent idea! We’ll meet you at the bottom of the hill, then!” Penn decided. He led Link out of the stable, his steps light and excited. “You see it, don’t you? The predictions have all come true! If word of the hero’s imminent death reaches the people of Hyrule, they’ll panic! We have to get to the bottom of this and fast. Who knows what kind of chaos will unfold if-! Link, where did you get that stew?”

Link drained the last sip, his cheeks full as a squirrel. He swallowed quickly and tossed the bowl into the bushes. “What stew?”

True to her word, the woman soon emerged from the stable. She froze upon seeing Link and Penn waiting for her, her hands balling into nervous fists. “Ha, well, here we go, I suppose.”

The two reporters followed her up the hill. Fallen leaves of yellow and red littered the path, dyed a more vibrant hue by the fast approach of sunset. Whatever they intended to do about this bothersome bird, they’d have to do it quickly. Link wanted to get a full seven hours of sleep for once.

When they approached the tallest tree on the slope, on which an unassuming (and rather confused) cucco sat on a stump beneath it, Lonni stopped. They waited in silence.

And waited.

“Um, Ms. Lonni?” Penn asked. “Aren’t you going to say something?”

“O-oh! Oh. Yes. Well, um…” She stuttered, wringing her hands. “It’s just that, asking whether, or when, or if, I’ll meet my true love… it's a bit overwhelming, you know?” She fanned herself with one hand, her face rather reddened. “I mean, what if the cucco says I don’t have one? Wow, wouldn’t that be completely and totally devastating? Or what if it says that I wasted my youth and my true love is already in an unhappy marriage with someone who never loved him the way I should have? Or even worse, what if it says I’ll meet my true love tomorrow?!” She shook her head. “I can’t do it. You boys go on ahead and talk to it first.” She stepped away from the cucco, muttering to herself about being ”the biggest coward in all of Hyrule.”

Penn rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeesh. That’s a little more than I bargained for when I came up here.” He cleared his throat. “Well, partner, let’s see what this clairvoyant cucco has to say about our futures!” Penn flapped his wings, fluttering up to the cucco. He made some noises in his throat, something between a squawk and a coo, trying several different pitches and lengths.

The cucco responded with a handful of clucks of its own. Penn set his hands on his hips with a huff. “Should’ve guessed. Cuccos aren’t that bright.”

“What did it say?” Link asked. While he’d heard that Rito had a special language that they shared with the birds of Hyrule, he seldom got to hear it spoken. The Rito spoke only Modern Hyrulean when he was around.

Penn shook his head. “That’s just it. It’s what the thing didn’t say, which was anything coherent. I asked it for my fortune, and the clucker only said, ‘Worms! Corn! Coop!’ Which is about what one might expect from a cucco. That’s all they ever think about.”

Link wondered if “clucker” was perhaps Rito slang for a Hylian word with a similar sound.

“Wait!” The cucco suddenly spoke, in perfect Hyrulean, flapping its wings. “My apologies! Thy fortune! Yes! Thy fortune!”

Penn crossed his arms, glaring at the bird. “Go on, then. What’s my fortune?”

The cucco squawked. “Thou art a traveler of many miles and skies! Thou hast gone from thy homeland, seeking another. But that is not all thou seekest, oh writer of many words!”

Link narrowed his eyes. The way this bird held itself didn’t seem quite right. Never mind that cuccos didn’t typically speak. Something about this poultry was off.

“Yes, I see it! Thy fortune is intertwined with that of this man here.” The cucco continued. “Thou art seeking Princess Zelda.”

Both Link and Penn started, taken aback by a semi-accurate prediction.

The cucco clucked in delight. “Thine stories will tell of a great battle! From thine pen will the world hear of the hero’s demise at the hands of his greatest adversary!”

Again with this nonsense? A twist of worry tightened in his gut. If this cucco had been right about everything so far, and again repeated tales of his doom to his face, what if…what if it was true?

“Who?” Penn asked, eagerly writing down all of the cucco’s words. “Who is the hero’s greatest adversary?!”

“We are!” The cucco declared, clucking in triumph. “The Yiga Clan! Attack!”

A poof of red smoke filled the air. Link coughed, waving it away with his hand, his vision obscured. The smoke and setting sun dyed the whole air deep red.

From the smoke, a blade sliced across his field of vision. Link barely saw it, dodging out of the way enough that it only nicked his arm rather than taking his head clean off. He drew his weapon, a Lizal Reaper, and darted away from the smoke.

The cliffs overlooking the stable soon greeted him, a steep drop down into the pasture below. He pivoted on his heel. Three Yiga footsoldiers rushed out of the smoke, their curved blades glinting in the red sun. As the first reared back to swing, Link felt his heart rate slow. He let out a breath.

His feet launched his body up, dodging the strikes of the three soldiers as he leapt over them. He swung his weapon, striking each with disarming blows to their sword arms. By the time he landed on the other side, the Yiga were stumbling, howling out in pain.

Two of the Yiga immediately retreated, disappearing in a burst of magic paper. The final lurched forward, clutching the wound in his shoulder. “You! You! You wretch!” He spat. “You may have bested us this day, but mark my words! Our prophecies always come true! You’ll die by our blades, hero!”

With a final burst of paper, the Yiga disappeared. Link sheathed his weapon.

A squawking cough drew Link’s attention back to the tree. Penn waved away the last of the smoke with his massive wing. “Ack, gross! Did they make those things out of sulfur? Disgusting. I’ll never get the smell out of my feathers.” He shook himself, his feathers puffing up and laying back flat again. “Are you okay, Link?”

Link nodded.

Penn squawked in surprise. “Partner! You’re bleeding!”

Was he? Link looked down at his right arm. A new gash seeped above where his Zonai arm met Hylian flesh. Huh. It didn’t hurt. It was probably just superficial. He shrugged.

Penn rushed over, clucking with worry. “Oh my Goddess, I am so sorry! I had no idea this story would be so dangerous! To think that our All-Clucking Cucco was a Yiga this whole time! And what’s odder, that they seemed to have you mixed up with the legendary swordsman!”

Link bit his tongue. “Yeah. Weird.”

Penn shook his head. “Come on. I’ll pay for your lodgings and make sure that cut is taken care of. What a story this will be!”

Link nodded, following along after Penn. He flexed his arm, watching curiously as Hylian blood trickled down a Zonai arm. It should hurt. He thought back to other instances where the Zonai arm had gotten injured. He couldn’t recall ever feeling pain there. All his senses were dulled on that hand, though he had thus far been attributing it to the fur.

He stole a glance back at the stump as Penn prattled on about the newest article. Every other prophecy had come true, they said. He could easily write it off as a mere sleight of hand, saying what was obviously true anyway. Of course, it would rain. Anyone could predict that a traveler along this route to Terry Town would meet Granteson. Maybe the Yiga really had learned about an island that housed treasure. If that weren’t the case, if they actually had some credence to their predictions…

Link shook the thoughts from his head. He had his own destiny to write. He sure as hell wouldn’t let a fake cucco decide his fate.
