Chapter 1: The Framed Deku
Link had just finished recapping the events of the past night when they heard a noise in the distance. They were in the large field now, Yaron said it was called Termina Field. Link stopped talking and put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Yaron did the same and turned his head to a bush that was shaking. Link pulled out his sword and tapped the bush. Something looking very much like a smaller bush popped out and ran around them. When it landed Link recognized it as something close to a Deku Shrub. He wondered how they would get to this place...and this time. The Shrub kept circling them until Yaron got annoyed and kicked it, in which it let out what Link guessed was a whimper and cowered by the bush. "It's okay little fella, we won't hurt you..." Link glared at Yaron, "...again." The deku edged toward Link. Its leaves perked up a bit with each step. When it was right in front of Link and looking a bit happier, it spoke. "You must help me! The High Council of Dekus has sentenced me to death for something I didn't do. I don't have any proof other than my word, but I know the real Deku is somewhere in the forest, and I need him to show that I'm innocent...but I don't know where he would be or if he'd even help. Well, I KNOW he wouldn't help without persuading, but I still don't know where to find him in the first place. You two look like you could handle yourselves in dangerous situations, would you help me?" "We don't have time for petty side quests, we're on a very serious mission," Yaron said as Link was about to reply. "Oh...I see," The Deku's leaves fell again. This time Link spoke up first. "Well...we would help but there's nothing to go on. We're already on a quest to find a needle in a very large haystack; we don't need another one. If you can tell a less general area where this Deku may be then we might be able to help you. But while we're on the subject of the forest, what all is in there?" Link asked. "Well...just the swamp and the High Council building that I know of. There are probably other things, but I don't get to see much, I'm just a regular little house Deku. Usually don't see past my treehouse." The Deku Shrub said. Link thought for a few seconds and then turned to Yaron. "I changed my mind, we will do this quest for you, but you're coming with us. I need you as a guide as far as you know to go. And when we find this guy I want you to take him back to the High Council and leave us, I have a hunch that something useful is in that forest, and helping you may also help us." Link said, still staring at Yaron, who was now staring back with a strange expression. Link ignored his expression and followed the now ecstatic Deku Shrub into the forest. Yaron quickly followed, looking around carefully for any signs of the other leaf thing.
