Content: Link's going to be one of the first victims of Zim's invention gone wrong.
Setting: I'm starting at Wildkat Coffee, and Link's going to end up in the Elephant Graveyard in the Pridelands. (Link's form is a species of wolf that lives in Africa.)
Time: Week...30? I think it's week 30 now, right?
Warnings: Maybe some run ins with hyenas and other creatures of Africa, but nothing too drastic.

Link yawned and stretched before hopping out of the tree he had slept in since he had gotten to Paixao. Sure, he could have gotten a hotel room or even a small apartment if he wanted, but the park was such a nice place! Besides, it reminded him of his home in the Kokiri Forest, and he just felt more comfortable in such a setting. He's get a room somewhere only if the weather called for it.

In any case, Link rubbed the sleep from his eyes as the 'sun' continued to rise. He checked the amount of jewels he had in what was once his pouch reserved for rupees, then headed off to Wildkat Coffee for some breakfast.

Everything seemed to be normal. The normal people were out on the streets doing their usual routines. there was no reason to think anything could go wrong.

However, when Link opened the door to the coffee shop, the coffee shop wasn't there. Instead of the usual interior, it seemed as if everything had been replaced with a white light outlined by darkness. Link tried to close the door and walk away, but it was as if something on the other side had control over his legs, and he walked through...

When the light faded, he knew something was wrong. First of all, he was now amongst bones of massive creatures. Second, he was on all fours and noticed that his nose extended far past where it normally did, and that it was covered in fur. Link looked down at his ~~hands~~ paws, and then looked behind him to see his hind legs and even a tail! This had to be a dream! Nothing like this could happen!

He growled to himself, frustrated at his current situation, but knowing that he wasn't going to get out of it by doing nothing. Link started off, lost in a forest of skeletons and stuck in a body that wasn't his own.

Reddas had faced a similar situation to Link. A morning walk, casual observation of the figures around him, and a small meal before more observation. He pondered getting a job now that Paixao had become his new makeshift home. He had missed the buzzing streets of Balfonheim but also recognized the importance of making the best of his current situation. Hearing about the Organization from various sources only made his suspicion rise, recollecting his memories of being a Judge Magister. He was willing to set things straight when the day came.

Today was not this day, for he found himself in an elephant graveyard as a wildebeest. He trotted though the gaps between the bones and skulls, still pondering how having real horns made him feel strange (despite formerly having horns on his helmet).

Link was still wandering around the skeletal jungle, wishing he could just find a map and compass so he could find his way out of this hole and back to his human body. It wasn't long before he spied the...thing? It looked kind of like a bull, but a very different bull than the ones he was used to back in Hyrule. He didn't know what it would do should he approach, but there really wasn't another option for him other than to go back the way he came.

Link approached the beast. He found it surprising that even though his human mouth was gone, he could still talk, and he still retained his normal voice. "You wouldn't happen to know the way out of here, would you?"

He turned toward the wolf-life creature, admiring its distinctive looks. The hairs on its coat were almost golden, even in the midst of the dreary grey sky. It was odd to see such a creature amongst the bone-ridden field around him. Slowly, it dawned on him that such a graveyard was a memorial to the animals like him that were tracked down and disposed by animals like that. There was little he could do to improve the precarious circumstance, but he knew that he would let himself go without a fight. His wildebeest-face awkwardly looked from side to side, gave a puff, and immediately began a charge. "HYAAAAAH!" he yelled out, surprised that his wildebeest voice did not sound more beastly. Even more surprisingly, he thought he heard a human voice speaking around him by the time he had began his charge.

"Hey!!" Link turned tail and ran from the crazed bull-thing, finding a large skull and climbing on top of it, hoping that it wouldn't be able to reach him there. He waited a second to catch his breath from the sudden sprint and surprise. "Look, I don't want to hurt you! I just want to know if you know how to get out of here!"

Link kept his muscles tense, ready to hop off his perch should it prove to be a dangerous spot.

When Reddas had looked up to where Link had hid in safety, he leapt into his temptation and bellowed out, "Return from the high ground at once and embrace the-"

He couldn't believe the words that were coming from his mouth, mostly thanks to the fact that he had been a stampeding wildebeest for the past few moments. "Am I-?" he asked himself quietly. "I-I am!" He shuffled his hooves around to ensure himself of his own existence.

After calming himself down, he looked back to Link and spoke normally. "Many apologies for the impromptu reflex. You might understand the perplexity of this situation."

"I understand it's perplexing, but not how I got turned into a...whatever I am now!" The closest thing Link could compare his new body to was a wolfos, but even that seemed a stretch. He let himself relax and he sat on his haunches.

"Please tell me you were a human too." If this shape-shifting was only happening to him, his day would just seem a lot worse. "I was going to the coffee shop back in the city, and when I opened the door, I got sucked here and looked like this!"

Reddas proceeded to nod with caution, wondering if this was simply a symptom of the new world and was being tricked into trusting his predator. His shook his neck afterwards as though he were ready for a nother charge in the event of a double-cross. "My name is Reddas of the Balfonheim Port. And yours?"

The wildebeest-Reddas held his stocky head high to him "From my sight, lupine in appearance, yet with a flax-colored coat," he described to him.

"I'm Link. From Hyrule." Link highly doubted this person(?) would know of Hyrule, considering that Link had never heard of Balfonheim Port, but hey, there were a lot of new place names that Link had heard in the city of Paixao.

"Uh, thanks. You look like some sort of bull. With sharp horns." Link would prefer to not be speared by said horns. He remained in a relaxed position, as he didn't really trust this Reddas guy yet. Maybe he just turned too much into that bull thing, or maybe he had always been a bull. In either case, Link wanted to get out of this damned place in one piece.

"I guess you don't know your way around this place either." By the looks of it, Link was lost. Without a map. And paired with a homicidal beast. Wonderful.

"Link from Hyrule? I know not of this land. I am Reddas of the pirate cove Balfonheim Port. I can gather I present as strangely as you do," he spouted from his strangely obtuse appearance. He looked at the drastically morbid surroundings around them and found nothing that glimmered of hope or optimism. "Your fear of this place is felt as clearly in me."

Link took another look around as well. Yeah, this place was creepy. Really creepy. The fact that he was standing on a skull didn't help, and he hopped down, hoping Reddas would try to kill him again.

"The sooner we find a way out, the better." This place reminded him too much of what used to be the Hyrule Castle Town. He didn't hear anything ominous, but the fear of running into ReDead was still haunting the back of his mind.

"I came from that direction." Link pointed with his ~~hand~~ paw. "I don't know how far this place stretches, but there has to be and end to it somewhere."
