Summary: A mysterious creature wanders in the Lost Woods, and people has no idea what it is or where it comes from, but it seems to be no threat, or it is?
Rating: Humm I don't know, maybe PG-13 for violence and blood (well nudity too but there is NO hentai and I give NO deep description about people's nudity, so don't worry! Just saying stuff like "OMGWTFPWNED L1NK 1S N3KK3D H4H4H4!11!1!")
Genre: General, Fantasy (well Zelda games are fantasy games. duh :P )
Disclaimer: You know what are Nintendo's characters, so, no, I do not own them ( I wish though :( ), but I do own the original characters that appears in this fan fic... Yaaay... (I won't tell their name because it will be a kind of spoiler But, obviously, they are noticable)
Hello people! It's probably my REAL first serious longer fan fic I ever wrote, and trying hard (since I don't speak English) to make it decent... So please don't bash my writing because it sucks :-( You can give me constructive critics and any kind of comments though (you can hate the story, but don't hate me because of my.. writing . ) This story is an idea I got from my own game idea, well at least one character, plus a totally new one, and of course, you get to see Link and the rest! This story happens few years after Link saved Hyrule from evil and was sent back in his childhood time (oh and let's say also after his adventure in Termina). Because of the time travel thing, all the sage had awoken even when he became a child again, so he will never see Saria, Impa, Ruto and the rest back (but actually I did that just because it will make the story simpler... mouhahahaha). Also, no one remembered about Link's exploit, except Princess Zelda and the sages. And Zelda is the only sage who can live freely on Hyrule, crap... Now Link is around 20 and is living simply with the Kokiri Children. So yadaa yadaaaaaa... That was my prologue lol...
Chapter One: Red eyes
"WAKE UP!"
The young man jumped from his slumber, and fell on the ground. He nervously turned his head around only to see Emma, one of the Kokiri Children and also his neighbour, a quite charming little girl, but also annoying, which sometimes was making most of the kids hate her. Link took his cover and put it around his naked body. Emma was laughing; she liked to see naked guys. The old boy didn't like the idea of a kid watching him that way, even though Emma was probably older than himself, Kokiri being children all their life. Annoyed, Link gave her a grumpy yet evil face. "Hey Link, Emma said, you should go out, the Sun is shinning for once! Ohh I grew so tired of that evil biggy rain, now it finally stopped after a whole week!" Link was tired, he couldn't sleep well during the last week because of that rain, but now that he could at least get one night of full great dreams, that girl decided that he couldn't enjoy them. "Humm Emma, Link said with a calm voice. Please get out, I need clothes."
After slowly getting changed, Link got out from home and walked around. Everyone were playing outside, everyone was happy. Maybe their children blood still flowing in their veins, Link felt so old physically, and mentally, a bit, but seeing them greeting him with those innocent smiles, he began to smile too. Emma was right, it was a very beautiful sunny day and he should enjoy it more than anything else. Then something came to his mind. Of course he never forgot about his past adventure that made him legendary... only for few moments until Zelda sent him back in the original time. He wondered what the Kokiri would think of him if they knew about his glorious victory against the evil. Every of them were still seeing him as their Kokiri brother, even if they now knew he was a Hylian. If he was a hero, would they still see him as their old brother?
Thinking about it, Link liked his new life better. Everyone were so respectful, the land was at peace.
A boy was shouting at him behind, which stunned Link for a while. Then the boy laughed. It was Mido, the boss of the Kokiri Children. "Link! Wanna challenge me in a race in the Lost Woods? I bet I can break your record!" The man loved challenges, because he usually won and he hated to lose, especially against Mido, probably his new best friend since Saria was gone to that sacred place. "All right, Mido, just give me... few hours to fully wake up..." The boss giggled. "Still waking up late? You are getting old, little fellah!"
Few hours later, Link and Mido were standing in one of their secret spot, ready to run. A Skull Kid was with them. He began to count. "Five... Four... Three... Two... One... GO!" So the two guys started racing each other in the woods, knowing their way back to the village. Link was winning of course, as usual, but then he lost Mido behind him after few minutes. Being not mentally fully awaken, he ran with an empty mind. And suddenly he got lost... That happened so quickly Link didn't even know how he got there, but he's not worried, as the forest was always peaceful and he would eventually find a way. It was not the first time he got lost, so he just walked around to find a spot he knew. But while walking, he heard a quick sound coming from one of the trees. He looked above himself, and observed carefully.
Inside the dark leaves, he noticed two glowing red eyes that he had never seen...
He approached them slowly, not trying to do anything to scare the mysterious creature. Even if the eyes were red, they did not seem to be evil. They even looked so innocent. "Who are you, what are you?" Link asked softly. He took out his sword in case, we could never know. As he took it out, the creature fled in the leaves, swift as the wind. Link tried to ran after him but the creature was way too quick for him. Link whispered to himself, that thing didn't sound too evil, maybe it was just trying to find a new home. If the new Deku Tree Sprout powers didn't throw it away, then it must not be evil. But he wasn't too fond of that, he decided to forget about the race and just walk back to the village after he finally found a spot he knew.
When he arrived in the village, Mido and few friends were waiting for him. They laughed at him. "I didn't beat your record Link, Mido said, but I still have beaten you hard! Where were you, slowpoke?" Link remained silent and went straight toward the Deku Tree. Mido stopped laughing and asked: "What's the matter? Are you angry at us?" Then the others stopped too. They all kind of felt bad, but Mido knew it wasn't Link's style to be frustrated about that kind of thing. He followed him, so did the other kids. When Link finally met the wise little tree, he sat down, and as he began to speak, the other children sat before him to listen to what they had to speak about. "Good day, Great Deku Tree! Link greeted it.
- Good day, Linky! the tree exclaimed. What news are you gonna bring this time?
- Well, father, I found a two red eyes creature that I have never seen in the Lost Woods. Do you feel something evil coming from it?"
The Kokiri kids began to shiver as they heard about the new mysterious "creature". What if it was dangerous? "Link, I do not sense any evil coming from the woods at all. You do not have to worry about it. I do sense an unknown creature I never felt before, but I know it lives in the woods since four years. What it is or where it comes from, I don't know. But if you ever meet it, you should be friendly, okay?" All were relieved, Link was too. If the Deku Tree mentioned that the creature had been living in the Lost Woods for full four years without even doing a thing, then it must really be innocent. But he wondered why no one had ever seen it, or knew about it. This tickled his mind and made him curious. He really wanted to meet that mysterious creature. Did it have something to hide? Or was it simply afraid of all the living things?
To forget about that (as he can not get that out from his head), he decided to go on a visit in Hyrule's Market place, to see if there are some interesting things and gifts to give to his Kokiri brothers and sisters. Of course, Mido wanted to come too, as he liked going outside and seeing new stuff. That made Link thinking about when no Kokiri was allowed to get out of the forest, because according to the old Deku Tree, the outside land was too dangerous. But the new young Deku Tree broke out that law and then the kids were free of going outside whenever they want, but most of them were still afraid of going outside. Mido was not one of them and he usually went to the Market alone. That day he went with Link. As they walked on the huge realm field, Mido decided to ask few questions about that creature he's so curious to know about. "Beside those red eyes, what did you see?
- Humm, not too much, actually. When it was far enough to almost disappear, all I could see was a vague form of a humanoid thing... It really looked like a monkey, and it might be since it was jumping from trees' branches to branches like if it was nothing.
- That sounds like a lonely animal; maybe we can help it to make it happy, or something.
- Maybe, but first, we have to find out what exactly it is! But.. hey Mido...
- What?
- Could you please stop talking about it? I mean, I'm trying to forget about that for now! Leave my mind in peace, damnit!"
Of course, Link requested that with a mocking tone. Mido found it funny, they loves to annoy each other, just like big friends. What a day!
It was late afternoon, they had been walking for quite a while and they began to be tired. They could see the castle far on the horizon. They were almost there. Mido couldn't wait to spare all the rupees he had found on the ground (yes rupees do grow in tree or on the ground in the land of Hyrule.. mouhahaha). He loved to shop, so did Link, but that one wasn't so excited as that kid.
But the excitement of shopping droped to zero as they noticed few people fleeing the Market and shouting for help, as if there was a monster attacking inside. Quickly Link drew his sword and Mido took his slingshot. Link hoped the danger wasn't too dangerous because he had not been fighting since years, but Mido might help since he was the slingshot master and was really good at stunning little monsters. Their hearts were beating like mad as they rushed in the Market place. There were still people running, most to their house, some guards were attacking something, but there were so many of them our heroes could not see what was being attacked. Suddenly, some kind of repulsive wind threw away all the guards. They all fell on the ground, hopeless, trying to get up. Some were even seriously wounded. Link's attention went to the thing the guards had been fighting since the beginning, and that is another thing no one had ever seen before, the weirdest creature he will probably ever meet: it was a tall young man, with two huge white wings on his back, wolf ears on his head and bird feet. He had bandages all over his two hands, light grey soft short hairs and two frightening red eyes that were not the same as the ones he encountered in the woods earlier. Those ones he was seeing were evil. Mido, when he noticed the winged man, was so impressed that he couldn't move. He just kept staring at him as if it was the most marvellous thing he had ever seen, but he was also scared, very scared. Link could sense his friend's terror in his face, so he thought it was up to himself to save the day, as he already did in the past. Link noticed full of fresh blood on the winged man, a lot coming from his mouth. And there were few bodies on the ground, some with their arms totally ripped apart, some with their belly fully opened, some with their face completely disfigured. It seemed that the winged man was enjoying... eating them.
The evil man finally turned to our two heroes. The guards recognized their princess' friend, Link, and his companion, Mido, in the middle of the chaos. Some told them to get away as they could handle it, some asked them for help, thinking they couldn't win themselves. The winged man wiped away some drips of blood on his face, gave them an evil smile, revealing his pointy teeth, then jumped toward the two guys. He could totally feel their fear in their eyes and this seemed to totally give him a twisted pleasure. "I love your face, the evil man said with a deep calm voice. That pity face everyone gives me, it makes me so.. happy." Link couldn't stand it anymore; he began the fight against the winged one. The guards, seeing the admirable way he could handle a sword and an enemy, decided to watch him, as going to help him in a fight will only weakened him. Mido was still unable to move, but he was afraid to see his friend gone at this moment, as the winged man seemed very strong. Link succeeded to slash a part of the man chest after few tries to hit that evil with his sword, but this didn't seem to hurt him that much as he punched Link very hard on his face. Our hero fell on the ground so violently he almost lost his consciousness. Link didn't even have the time to get up as the evil man rapidly jumped high on the air and heavily land on him, with his feet claws going through his belly. Link howled in pain, blood coming out from his mouth and his wounded belly. The guards, worried about Link, were gathering their force to fight that unstoppable killing machine, but before they could even do a move, the winged one was suddenly stunned and couldn't move. Link turned his head to see Mido who had finally shot that bastard with a Deku seed. It seemed it worked well on him. "You... Mido said in fear and sadness, yet a lot of anger in his voice, seeing that Link had very few chances to get out of this mess alive. You hurt my friend... You hurt people... Why did you...?" Link, with his few powers left, plunged his sword into the man chest so deeply it went through his back. The winged man let out an awful loud cry with a mix of canine horror growl. He took out his feet from Link's belly, slowly removed the sword from his deep wound and fell backward. He wasn't smiling anymore and he was crying in pain. Finally the guards tried to finish but suddenly the evil guy swiftly got up and flew in the sky, holding his own bleeding chest. He then disappeared, like the ending of a fearful nightmare.
Everyone went around Link to see if there was something they could do to heal him. Mido bursted into tears. He did not want to see him die. The day was going so well and it had to end that way. He can not die in a such beautiful day! "Well done, Link... and you little kid" some of them told the two guys. Link smiled a bit and turned to Mido. "Well, Link said with a wounded voice, I must thank Mido for his great shooting skill, I couldn't have done it without that. And thank you all for trying hard to protect this town, we all need you..."
Then everything went black.
So what do you think? I know I'm short with battles descriptions, I suck at battle, I wish I was better, and my vocabulary sucks too. I know the chapter ends in a very usual way, but hey I'm not so original Yeah yeah I admit I like emotional stuff more than action (but no, I hate romance), thay may explain why the battle paragraphs were.. short (well they are the longest in the chapter but the action subject only has two paragraphs, so...
