Wake up!

…

…

Hey! Listen! Get up!

I wake up slowly, not quite sure if this is still my dream or not. I'm pretty sure it was a really scary dream but I can't really remember it anymore.

It probably doesn't matter.

"Hey! C'mon! Can Hyrule's destiny really depend upon such a lazy boy?" I turn around in my bed and sit up, blinking my eyes out.

There's a blue light flying in my room, no, it's a fairy. It's not that surprising; lots of wild fairies take pity on me and come into my room to play. I sit up and stretch, yawning.

"Oh, good, you're finally awake." The blue fairy, from what I can see through her shine, has short, wavy, cyan hair, the sharp features unique to the fairy kind, and big blue eyes. She's wearing a bluebell as a dress, I think. It's a nice purplish color. Her slim arms reach to smooth out her dress, and she clears her throat very professionally.

"Hello, I am Navi the fairy, and I am, ah… to be your Guardian Fairy from now on. Nice to finally meet you, Link."

What?

"…Huh?" I ask, confused. Navi sighs and repeats herself.

"I'm only saying it one more time, okay? We're under some tight time constraints here. Hello, I am Navi the fairy, and I am to be your Guardian Fair-,"

And then I scream and jump out of my bed, rolling on the ground with my blankets and laughing wildly. I have a fairy! Navi is grumbling and I'm not really sure if I like it because she sounds mad and I don't like it when people are mad but oh my gosh I have a fairy.

"Glad to know that you approve. Well, what I was trying to say is that the Great Deku Tree needs you, alright? And quickly, he's in… Actually, just see for yourself. Just…" She groans and throws her arms up in frustration, "Hurry up, okay!?" I nod somewhat eagerly and pull on my hat and belt. Oh! I have to make sure that my slingshot is in Storage… Yes, it is. Good.

Before I reach the door however, I run back to my bed, grab the pillow, stuff my face into it, and scream.

Navi sighs again, but there's a little hint of a chuckle. It's a nice sound. I like making people laugh.

I spring out of my front door and start climbing down my ladder.

"Yahoo! Link! Are you awake? Let's go eat breakfast!" Saria's calling me, and I almost stumble on the ladder down from my treehouse in my excitement and surprise.

Scratch that.

My foot slips on the ladder and I fall to the ground, landing with a loud thump. My head kinda hurts but do I care? No, I really don't, because I have a fairy-

"Link! Get off the ground, you have to hurry up!" I think I hear Saria say, and then I realize it is NAVI, MY FAIRY, and I roll around on the ground again because I'm SO HAPPY!

Saria hears NAVI too, and says, "Wow! Is that… it is a fairy! I'm so happy for you, Link! Now, you're a true Kokiri."

That kinda hurts a tiny bit because that means she didn't think I was a true Kokiri before, but to be honest, nothing can ruin my mood right now, so I say, "YEAH!" really loudly.

Her fairy, Hael, says, "Seven, Saria wants to go eat soon, so you better hurry up, alright?" The Guardian Fairies don't call anyone other than their charges by their names. We're known by our numbers. Our numbers aren't necessarily rankings, but being One generally means Saria gets a lot of authority in the Forest.

Which basically means that Saria was the first Kokiri born and I'm the seventh.

Speaking of Saria, she's really cool. She has green hair because she's the oldest, and the oldest always gets to have green hair, and she has this Skull Kid hat that she got from one of her Skull Kid friends that she wears sometimes to scare Mido away. Oh, and she has this really awesome looking leaf cloak; all of the Kokiri have one but Saria's is special because the Great Deku Tree said so.

…And she has green boots, too. I wish I had green boots.

Navi clears her throat again, she does that a lot, and says, "I'm sorry, One, but Link has been summoned by the Great Deku Tree and must report to him immediately." Navi sounds very, very professional and I'm not sure that's a good thing because I like people who are happy and cheerful and energetic.

Even if I'm not.

I shoot Saria an apologetic glance, but she just smiles and ushers me over in the general direction of the Deku Tree. I grin and run off as fast as I can because I have a fairy-

Nobody's saying mean things behind my back anymore and that makes me really happy to be honest.

I keep running and I'm almost at the Deku Tree's clearing when somebody pushes me from behind, sending me flying flat on my face.

Ouch.

I spit out a mouthful of dirt, ew, tastes like dirt, and turn around. Of course, it's Mido, because apparently it's Mido's job to ruin my good day.

"Hey, Fairy-less!" He yells. That's his nickname for me. I don't really like it. "Gonna go play with your fairy?" He pauses, "Oh, wait, you don't have one!" And he bursts out laughing.

And while normally I would be sad, I have a fairy now so I'm just really happy again.

Navi whirls around me, asking, "Hurry, get up, we have to get to the Deku Tree-,"

Mido does a double take and whirls around. "You have a fairy? What? Why?" And he's yelling at me for some reason.

I don't really like Mido, but I don't tell him because that would make me a meanie.

"Um," I say, standing up, "I really need to go to the Great Deku Tree because he called me and I don't really wanna make him wait-,"

He interrupts me by putting his hands on my shoulders and shoving me into the pond by Yerbal's shop. I cry out and splash into the water.

"I don't take orders from half-people, Fairy-less!" Mido yells, and I pout a bit because Mido is a butt hole and he's not recognizing Navi at all.

"Navi is a fairy." I mumble. "And she's mine."

Mido interrupts again by throwing a pebble at me. It connects with my cheek and it stings a bit.

"I'm not letting you into the Great Deku Tree's clearing unless..." He pauses, thinking. Mido's fairy, Sina, jumps out of his cap and flutters around Mido's head. He glides towards Mido's ear and whispers something.

I said Mido three times in a row.

Ew.

A sneaky smile, hheheh, that sounded funny, crosses Mido's face. That's the face he makes when he's thinking of ways to make me feel bad, so I'm not sure I like it very much.

"Yes! Yes, good idea!" He turns around and smirks. "Link, unless you can get a sword and a shield, I'm not gonna let you in!" He sticks his tongue out. "Nya nya!"

No way, I can't do that.

The only really big rule in the Forest is that we're not supposed to hurt each other which also means we're not supposed to touch the sword but if I touch the sword that'll ruin it because sword can hurt people.

I really don't wanna hurt anybody or get in trouble.

"But the Great Deku Tree-," I start, but Mido cuts me off.

"I'm doing this for you own safety, Link." He laughs. "You need equipment to stay safe."

He starts snickering after that, slapping his knees and clutching his stomach. I get up off the ground and run away, sopping wet, water droplets and Navi trailing behind me.

What do I do?

I can ask Saria, right?

Wait, no, I have Navi now.

I'll ask Navi.

"Oh, that little bully!"

Speaking of which.

Navi is an angry shade of red, and her blue hair's turned purple from the mixing colors. Fairies do that and it's kinda funny sometimes but it's not really funny when fairies are mad.

"The Great Deku Tree's in trouble, and he has the… the gall to keep you from entering!?"

She's really mad, isn't she. Oh, no, not very funny.

"Um, N-Navi?" I ask, tentatively, once we're far enough away and I've dried off, extending a hand. I'm kinda worried that she's gonna get real mad at me but instead she turns into a nice cyan color.

"Yes?"

Oh. Okay, then.

"D-Do you have any idea where the sword might be…?"

She thinks for a bit. "Well, it might be in the Forest Training Center. Nobody's ever really gotten that far into it, especially you Kokiri. So… Yeah. Probably there. You'll have to go through the Lost Woods a bit to get to it, remember?"

I nod.

I can do this. Just go, get the sword, come back, show Mido, return the sword, and go to the Great Deku Tree.

Simple as that.

But some part of me knows that it's not going to be that simple, and it's the same part of me that's convinced that I'm going to kill something if I touch the sword that thinks it.

That didn't really make sense, but I'm okay with that.

Everybody says that the sword corrupts people and I'm not too sure what corrupt means but I think it means it'll make you bad.

Nobody knows where the sword is, anyways, only that the Great Deku Tree hid it somewhere.

Darn it.

I kick a pinecone into the bushes to release my anger. It's a way to get rid of stress, according to Saria.

Part of me hopes that by some chance, it'll hit the sword and make a noise.

It doesn't.

Aww.
