Authors Note: Hello, i'm new. I hope you enjoy my first chapter of The Elemental Curse.Remember to check out "The Greatest Fear" on the Star Fox area by Fox The Cave II. Ok now on with the story.
There was a legend,
A legend of a hero,
A legend of a memorable battle.
A land,
The land of happiness,
The land of peace,
The field where the battle took place,
The land of Hyrule.
The mystical gods,
The elements, that the gods protected,
The four sages,
The sages in favour of the gods,
Ganondorf,
The evil ruler,
Ruler of the Triforce of power.
As the battle began, the cries of Princess Zelda, King of Hyrule's daughter, is heard throughout the land as she ran to the area of the fairies, Kokiri Forest. She is running faster by second, without slowing down; you could hear her panting getting louder as she ran all the way in the big field. Hyrule field.
When the princess looked back she could see some soldiers dead, some wounded and some on the floor about to lose their lives. The battle was to strong for the Hylians, they couldn't win; if they lost the land would end up in the hands of Ganon and he would retrieve the Triforce of courage and wisdom which will mean he will have total command.
After a long and exhausting run, Zelda made it to the forest of peace and tranquillity. "Can you please direct me to the great Deku Tree?" Zelda managed to ask one of the locals, she was still panting. "Continue forward and turn right when you get to the centre, you'll find your self in a big maze. Follow the path and you'll hopefully make it." The local responded. Zelda waved to him as if to say thanks. She followed the directions, taking her time as no damaged could be done in such a nice and peaceful environment. The panting Stopped. Zelda became more focussed on her area. She began to jog slowly, taking her breath every time she moved her left leg. There was a bright, shining light at the end of the very confusing labyrinth, as she ran closer to the light, light began to go further, and further; Zelda began to freak out, she ran faster and caught up with the light and entered a large grassland with a huge tree in the middle.
Zelda had never seen the Deku Tree before, it was all these stories and legends that people pass down; the Deku Tree helped a young traveller on his quest to lead Hyrule to victory… Zelda began to reminisce.
"Long, long ago was a land of freedom and treasure. Everyone was content. One long sad day was a war; a war of pure evilness and hatred. Ganon and his evil army have planned to attack. Many of Hyrule's citizens were dead in this unfortunate tragedy. Everyone thought the world would end and evil would rule. Until a hero, wearing a green tunic and a fairy came along guided by the Deku Tree. The hero originated from Kokiri Forest. Little is known about him. He took out his Master Sword and slashed the evil creature and his army, and sealed them away for a long time. Before he left, the hero looked at the citizens who were crying from happiness they now know him as the hero of time. The hero dropped the sword and left the land, never to return again. The Hylians treasured the Master sword in Hyrule temple ever since."
Zelda nodded her head and came back to her senses. "Oh great Deku Tree, I have heard the story of the adventurer, that you helped this young hero fight the evil Ganon. You gave him courage, you gave him your heart, and you lead him the right way in life. I now come as King Hyrule's daughter and bow down to your greatness oh, Deku Tree. Our city is about to crumble, Ganon has struck again, he has a strong and evil army, the innocent are dying, the poor are wasted. This cannot end with Ganon winning. Gannon has already set out creators to help destroy anyone who comes in his way; he has already planned everything out. He has sealed the four sages of Hyrule in another Realm and has taken advantage of the gods and made them quarrel; fortunately the elements that make this land have not been harmed in anyway. Please oh Deku Tree, help us unite as a nation that will dominate the evil Ganon, we have to get the elements before Ganon does. We need a hero like the legend, a hero that will help his land, a hero that has the power and courage to hold the holy Master Sword." The tree did not reply. Zelda sighed; some tears dripped out of her eyes as her head turned downcast and at long last she breathed in heavily.
"Believe in your self princess Zelda, believe. Gariuko…" The old rusty tree said. At the very moment, a blue fairy came right passed Zelda. "You called oh Tree of Memories?"
"Yes… I want you to find me the new boy, Link is his name. He lives in that tree house near the shop. He is the only boy in this area that doesn't have a Fairy, today is the day he is granted the honour of becoming a Kokiri, Gariuko I want you to be his fairy and help the orphan in a quest to save all of Hyrule. Get him immediately." The Great Deku Tree Demanded. Gariuko the fairy flew very quickly past Zelda again.
After a long tiring fly the blue fairy made it to Link's tree house. She flew in through the open door, Link was playing an ocarina. The ocarina was known as a religious symbol for the Hylians; Link knew how to play it quite well. "Hey." Gariuko said. Link stopped playing, "Who are you?" The boy began to question the fairy "I am Gariuko, a fairy sent to you by the great Deku Tree; today you will be a Kokiri and go on many quests."
"No I cannot accept; I am originally Hylian. I know Kokiri Forest is inside Hyrule but it is a different area then Hyrule, I'm sorry."
"Link you live here, therefore you must accept besides Hyrule is in a war and it is up to you to save the land and be a hero." Link's face lit up as a smile appeared on his face. "So dress up and come on." Link quickly entered the closet to dress up and came out wearing a green tunic and a pair of worn out boots. They both rushed out of the house. Gariuko flew and Link climbed down the stairs. Gariuko flew about the same pace as Link if not faster. Link was running very fast, you could here the wind they created as they scurried past people.
Gariuko lead the way to the Deku Tree, Link had never met her but today he was going to, today we would be a Kokiri. He couldn't be happier. As they ran to through the maze Link could see an outline of the tree, the light fluttering from the area had been hurting his eyes. As he entered the area of the Deku Tree he started to slowdown and walk. "Link, I want you to meet Zelda, princess of Hyrule." Link did not reply, Zelda was 13 about the same age as Link knelt down and kissed Zelda's hand, Zelda began to blush. "Link, Hyrule needs you, Ganondorf has returned once again to invade Hyrule, get the four elements that make up our land and rule Hyrule. If Ganon manages to take the four elements then he will gain the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom. I now grant Link the future saviour of Hyrule the Triforce of courage. He has the honour of representing it; and you Zelda have the Triforce of wisdom. Link you are about to embark on a frightful journey around Hyrule in order to retrieve the elements. After every element you get remember to place it in Hyrule temple. After you get two of the elements the Master Sword will once again have the power to be used, so when you get two elements remember to pick up the Master Sword from the room that opens. Good luck my children." The Deku Tree was once again silent.
