Prologue: The Journey

I watch as the strange boy climbs onto the log. A kokiri, I think, judging by his green clothes. He takes out a strange instrument. I think its called an ocarina! He starts to play it. Such a beautiful sound it makes! The boy keeps playing. I recognise this song. I call it Saira's song as that kokiri girl plays it. The mean red haired boy often talks about her. Mido, I think he's called.



Soon I take out my flute. When I was a kokiri I was so good at playing it. But then I got lost in these woods. The lost woods. Over years I started to change. I think it was the air. Now I'm ugly and have no friends.



So I start to play, and what a wonderful sound I make. Soon all the animals in the forest come to listen to our amazing music. I feel happy. I've not felt happy in years. I will leave this forest and go to another land. I will see the world and will have many friends. I will play for everyone that I meet and then they will feel happy too!

Eventually the boy stops playing and so do I. He leaves. Behind him his guardian fairy follows. I had a fairy once, but she left me. Navi was her name. I would like to find another fairy friend on my travels. Then I can play for her too!

I look around me. Goodbye home, I say softly. I pick up my flute. Then I look into the distance and set off to see the world.

I travel for days through the dense forest, pausing only to eat and sleep. I think I'm being followed but I cant be sure. I lie down to rest on a pile of leaves. I hear screeches from in the distance. Statchchildren. I am sure of it. I fall asleep on the warp leaves.

When I awake I am scared. My flute is gone. I am sad, so I cry. I hear a noise. A woman's voice and the clip clop of a horses hooves. I see a wagon. A small, fat woman sits on a wooden plank. A beautiful horse sits on the front. I like the horse. It smiles at me and I smile back. The woman sees me. She smiles at me too. I like the woman as well.



Suddenly she stops. Then she reaches out a hand to me and whispers something in my ear. I tell her I am going to see the world and play my flute to everyone. Suddenly I remember my flute is gone. I start to cry again. Suddenly the woman asks me if I would like to come to Terminia with her. I say yes and we set off. After a few hours we see a house. We ride closer to it and the people there smile at me. There is a woman and a young girl. Then I see a signpost. It says Romani's ranch on it. I feel I am going to like Terminia.



*************************************************

I look all around me. The kind lady has gone. She has gone to the ranch to be with the dogs. I wonder if I will meet any dogs? Are dogs nice? As I wander through the town, Clock Town, I think its called, I see four giants. They are very tall. They have a body, and out of their body comes legs and arms. But the body is also the head. I shout hello to the giants. They smile at me. Everybody smiles at me. I like this place.

I find an inn. I give in five rupees for the night. I go to sleep. In the morning I visit the giants again. I stay in the inn for five days.

But one day the giants leave. They say that if there is danger they will return. I shout at them. I tell them that they don't like me. They give me a warning. They say goodbye to me and set off to the four corners of the land, the swamp, the mountains, the ocean and the canyon. I am very angry.

I try to leave the town but the guard doesn't let me. I am angrier still. I am so angry I run into the guard and knock him out of the way. Then I run out into the wild. I find a wooden shelter and sit under it. I begin to cry. I cry and cry but no one comes. I am very sad.

Soon I lie down to sleep. I drift off, but am awoken by a ringing sound. The sound of a fairy. I turn over and face the fairies. There are two of them. One is blue and one is white. I speak to them. They want to be my friends. I like friends.

We travel together. We go back into the lost woods. Soon we see a traveller. He is asleep. I wander over to him. The fairies, Talt and her brother Tael, follow me. I see a bag. I am curious. I look inside the bag. There is a mask. I take it out and put it on. It is a purple mask, with yellow spikes coming out of the bottom and two on top, like horns. When I put it on I feel funny. Powerful and strong.



Suddenly the man wakes up. I am frightened. Suddenly I lunge at him. He cries out in pain. He is very sad. I do not want to hurt the man. I think the mask is making me hurt him. I feel very alone. I let go of him. I run away with the fairies.
