As dark storm clouds roll onward Link looks to the west for the answer that he knows to be there. Looking westward towards the
desert he sees a lone dark figure riding towards him. The figure looks familiar, but yet at the same time foreign to him. Just as the
face starts to focas a bang wakes him from his deep slumber. "Navi, the hell are you doing." Link questiones the glowing ball of
faerie. "The great Deku Tree wants to see thee." Navi answered him. "Tell him I'll be there by midday ive been meaning to talk to him
anyways."Link retorted." I'll have someone to meet you at the edge." Navi replied while leaving through the window. Link looked around
the plain room. The room as not lavishly furnatured but adiquet for his needs. In the corner opposite from the bed a nice warm fire was
lit, and next to it was a baby cradle where a sleeping baby was softly cooing. "You have to go, don't you" a womans voice appears
from underneath the covers of the bed. Link strides over to the bed and softly says to the woman, "Yes Zelda, I must the Great Deku
Tree might have the answer to the reason these dreams have been plaguing me. Besides i think that it best that I make sure
everything there is okay. He would not have called me if it wasn't." as saying this he strides to the dresser beside the bed and begins
pulling out his green Kokiri Tunic from the drawer. Once he had dressed he started to pack his other tunics into the saddle bag a
servent had brought in. Once finished he noticed Kalema, the Shiekah nurse that was traditional for the royal children to have beside
the cradle watching him. "You'll watch them won't you." Link told the almost invisible bodyguard. "Of Course." she replied almost out
of habit than of respect. With that Link picked up his saddle bag, and leaned over and kissed the baby on the forehead. Link then
headed for the stable where his brown bay horse waited for him. After Link had saddled Epona and had started to ride off he was
stopped by Zelda waving a sword in her hand."Wait, I know that you dont have the master sword and all but maybe this will offer
some protection." In her hands was the familiar looking scabbard of the master sword, but the handle and was not the same."Thanks,
but I hope that I will not need it." he replied and with that left her outside the stable. As he rode through the town gate he didnt notice
the group of three darkly clad warriors that followed him through the gate. As Link rode through Hylia field he noticed the dark shadows following him.
In an attempt to stop his followers he stopped just on the inside of the Kokiri forest and dismounted. By the time he
dismounted the pursuers had stopped."Ho there peace citizens of Hylia, what be ye doing here this far south of the town." He hailed
the mounted men. As he said this he noticed that each of them were wearing a sword and bow a piece and who knows what other
weapons under their armor." We have come here to see to it that you die before reaching the Great Deku Tree." they replied almost
in a nonchalant way. "Who has sent you." Link now tensed as he saw the men pull their swords. Just as he finished Link saw a glint
in the air as a throwing knive had come throught the air towards him. By instinct he used he sword to knock the knive out of the air
into the ground where one of the men used to be mounted but now was gone. Instead the three men had surronded him and had
arrows nocked in their bows which were pointed at him. "Hey Broma, this guy is nothing without the master sword just as master had
predicted." said the guy on links right. He was about 20 with the looks of someone who lives off the street. "Your Master knows
nothing of my power." Just as he said that he let the final sign go that he had been slowly making. Just as he did he closed his eyes
and let the power flow from him to outside and form a barrier. As this happened he heard horses start to run off and behind them
heard his would be assassians drop their bows and run as well. Once they were out of sight he let the magic fail and started to
mount Epona." You know your not as young as you used to be." Said a recognizable voice through the thickening tree line."Nice to see
you to Saria." Link answered.
