Bellum: Difference between revisions

Bellum's exact origins are unknown. One day, Bellum appeared and began draining all [[Life Force]], an energy which every living being in the world possesses, that he could possibly gather. [[Oshus]], the Ocean King, attempted to stop Bellum, but Bellum proved too powerful and trapped Oshus at the bottom of the [[Temple of the Ocean King]], continually draining him of his Life Force. Bellum then proceeded to create the [[Sand of Hours|Sands of Hours]], a crystallised form of Oshus' Life Force, using it to create monsters that he sent forth to seal away the Spirits of [[Leaf|Power]], [[Neri|Wisdom]], and [[Ciela|Courage]]. He also created the [[Ghost Ship (Phantom Hourglass)|Ghost Ship]] to develop a myth of treasure to lure more victims into Bellum's trap for him to drain their Life Force. Bellum's greed attracted him to [[Tetra]] due to her great amount of Life Force and eventually manages to ensnare her, draining her Life Force and turning her to stone. This is not discovered by [[Link]] and [[Linebeck]] until the completion of the fourth boss, defeating the [[Cubus Sisters|Diabolical Cubus Sisters]] on the Ghost Ship. After uncovering Tetra's fate, Oshus reveals himself to Link and Linebeck as the Ocean King and explains to them his history with Bellum. Eventually, Link makes it to the end of the Temple of the Ocean King, to the "Stairway to Bellum", after which he must face the Evil Phantom himself. After supposedly defeating the foul beast once and for all, Link and Linebeck witness the curse lift from Tetra, only to watch her be snatched up by the undefeated evil after Oshus offers a quick warning and explanation; the curse on Oshus is weakened, but not yet lifted. Following a ship battle and possession of Linebeck, Link finally defeats Bellum, lifting the curse on the Ocean King who now reveals his true form, a great white whale, and restores peace to the world.
