I wasn't always like this... I was as normal as any other skull kid out there... then i found this mask... and now i can do anything i want... or i could at first... then this mask... it ate away at me... took control of my body and did horrible things... now I'm going to destroy an entire world because of this mask... Skull Kid sat on top of the tree inside the moon, he had never quite understood why it was there and what purpose it served, but it was a nice place to sit and think about things... reflect on how he got to where he was...the things he d seen... people he d met, and the sort. But in particular... there was a thought that kept popping up in his mind... the thought of a young boy in green, the only person who had bothered to befriend him, he felt his mind drift off to the past...
"HEY!" What was this? The calling of a fairy? They were quite common here, but they always seemed afraid of him because of his looks. Yet he was fascinated by them. He would play his flute to watch wild fairies dancing in distant clearings, not having a care in the world. He always wanted one for his own like the Kokiri had, someone to talk to, someone to play with, a friend of his very own. Perhaps this little fairy was looking for him, had heard his music and wanted to be... Friends... That would be nice... But no, then he heard footsteps coming close. "It must be one of those Kokiri children!" He quickly hid behind a tree stump, unaware his little straw hat was poking out the top of his shelter. Navi flew into the clearing, quickly noticing the hat, "WATCH OUT LINK" Skull Kid looked around the tree stump shyly, he looked at the fairy, then saw, emerging into the clearing, a young boy dressed in the green Kokiri garb. The boy looked at him curiously, as if deciding if what he saw was friend or foe. Skull Kid ducked back behind the stump, afraid of the sword worn on the boys back. Footsteps came closer and closer Skull Kid pulled some darts from a bag and prepared for the worst... "Hello, I'm Link" ... His mind went blank, this boy was... Speaking with him... And not in a harsh or threatening manner as the foresters usually used... his tone was... Friendly... "Hello?" The voice had spoken again, turned around to see the young boy standing over him, a slight smirk on his face. He decided he needed to answer this boy "H-Hello..." His tone was meek, he was not sure how to respond to the forest boy... "What's your name?" Name... A name... He had never been given a name... " I... I don't know... Just call me skull kid... Everyone else does, so I assume that's my name." The boy looked a bit puzzled at this, "Skull Kid eh? Alright." He shyly looked away from the boy, still fearing his weapon. "What's wrong?" The boys tone had changed, it was now... Concern... He shakily pointed to the sword, "A-Are you going to hurt me?" The boy looked at his weapon "No" the boy took it off, along with all his other gear, sword, shield, and all tools lie on the ground. "So... Why are you here then, why talk to me?" The boy smiled "I'm trying to find a friend of mine, a Kokiri named Saria, she's the one playing the ocarina that rings through the woods" Her? This little boy knew her? The Kokiri who constantly played such beautiful music? He often danced to her wonderful tune, but never in the same clearing as her... She was so beautiful though... Sadly he knew it could never be... "S-so... You need my help?" "No" He was saddened by this. "But... You look lonely little Skull Kid, so you can come with me to see her, I'm sure she wouldn't mind me bringing someone along" The boy reached his hand out "come on!" The boy was smiling, eager to have someone to travel with it seemed. He took the Kokiri boys hand "alright... I'll come with you..."
