Uhhh. Okay. Pitch. Link wakes up in a sealed room. The walls are polished glass and stone and steel, and the lights. The room bleeds with light, endless blinding light pouring out of every surface. He's almost snowblind, but a gentle voice encourages him to carry on, and half-blind, half-dead dumb puppet that he is, he does.
The chamber leads to another. Then another. Each one has another tool, another puzzle, another blaze of impossible lights and another whisper from that voice to carry on. And it should lead up, and out, and into the light of the sun.
It never does.
The path winds deeper and deeper into the gut of the temple, where the snow-bright light grows harsher, more artificial. In nooks and crannies, places where the walls have been forced apart, he finds the scrawlings of scavengers, those who braved the bowels of the Moonrock Temple, the terrible place where doors open to impossible places.
And then he finds her. The one who whispered to him on the path. She had been forced to make herself a new body while she waited for him to wake up. She is made of polished glass and stone and steel, and when she smiles she shines with impossible light.
“You found me,” she said, and her voice thrums with an unnatural chord. “Congratulations. Was it worth it?”
