Chapter One

Forest of Follies

The forest was nearly silent except for the occasional bird. This, however, was not unusual due to the forest's high location and its dense tress.

Cut off from civilization and full of monsters; yeah, great place for me to wake up.

The first thing I wanted to do when I opened my eyes and found myself in the Forest of the Fairies was scream profanities until I was blue in the face. However, I was only able to bellow a "What the…?" before I was silenced by the unmistakable shriek of a Bokoblin. I flattened myself against the forest floor and stifled a snort as grass tickled my nose. The creature came waddling up toward my hiding place. I heard it being to sniff me out and I felt panic course through my veins. Silently, I prayed for a weapon.

I felt the hilt of a sword touch my palm just as the Bokoblin caught sight of me. Before it could shriek again to alert the others, I leapt up and struck four times. It let out a croak and fell to the ground. I panted as the thing exploded in a puff of smoke leaving a small pot of magic behind. I snatched up the magic before it could disappear, then, regaining my cool, I looked down at the weapon that had saved my life.

It was a katana with a long thin blade and Hylian symbols painted onto the handle. I also noticed I was wearing a long sleeved dark blue dress with a short skirt, white sweatpants and brown boots. My short, brown hair was tied into a high ponytail. I sheathed my katana on my back and sighed.

My name is Loria, and I am a prisoner in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

I wasn't quite sure what I was doing in the game, but, as my friends Jenn and Rachel could tell you, it wasn't the first time such a thing had happened. I figured I would play some part in the adventure, but my role was still a mystery. The first thing I learned during my temporary stay in the Forest of Fairies, or the Forest of Follies as I would fondly call it, was to keep my self hidden and keep quiet. I tried to avoid as many monsters as possible so as to spare myself panic and possible injury, but young, confused heroines seem to have an attraction to monsters.

By the end of my first hour in that God forsaken forest, I had killed about a dozen monsters, tripped over several roots, and valiantly fended off some very stubborn mosquitoes. The forest had tired me, starved me, and severely damaged my calm. Plus, I still had no idea of where Jenn and Rachel were, and I knew they were here somewhere because this never happens to just one of us.

Just as I was about to cross the border to insanity, I heard several explosions. "What the…oh…no" I hissed, narrowing my eyes. Just then, I heard a thud, a grunt, and several branches cracking. A few twigs landed on my upturned face as I looked at the unconscious form of Tetra hanging from a branch several feet above my head.

However, I shouldn't say Tetra; one look told me it was not Tetra, but Jenn. It seemed that Jenn's designated part in this adventure was the part of Tetra…or Zelda…whatever, you get the point. I considered getting her down, but decided to leave her there. Heartless a thought as it was, seeing Jenn hanging by her vest from a branch was extremely entertaining.

An idea suddenly popped into my head as my stomach gave a rather alarming growl. I picked up a rock and chucked it at the branch supporting Tetra. It didn't break, but rattled the branch enough so that an apple fell from her pocket and landed at my feet. "Oh, I am so clever!" I chuckled to myself as I picked up the apple and started munching on it. I brushed some dirt off a log and sat down. Leaning against the tree, I watched as Tetra swung back and forth on the branch. I figured I could get some breakfast in while I waited for Tetra to wake up so I could help her down.

About ten minutes later, I had finished my apple and was extremely bored. Tetra's odd predicament was losing humor rather quickly and I was considering trying to wake her up when I heard a Bokoblin shriek. I huffed and whipped out my katana, but then I heard a noise that made me freeze: a male voice yelling and the clash of metal on metal, quickly followed by the death croak of the monster. "Oh Lordy" I muttered, then, without warning, I saw him.

Chapter two will be posted once I get some reviews, so if you like it, review! All my Gazzical love to you.
