A/N: Here's the second chapter to my story. As always please Read and Review.
Chapter 2:
Nine years have passed since the Great War. Harry was sleeping in his house, being plagued by a nightmare. It was the same one he had every night.
Harry was standing in the rain in front of a castle. The drawbridge was up, but started to lower, as if it was letting him in. Suddenly, a white horse galloped past, a young girl and her guardian ran past. As he watched them, he didn't notice the man in black armor aproach, and turned around to face him when he heard a second horse. The man said nothing, instead held a wand to the young boy's face. A flash of light occured, and the nightmare ended, only to start over.
In Hagrid's haven, the half-giant was facing a ball of light with wings, a fairy. He was talking with it, telling her what was needed. Behind him, an ancient tree stood, and it's bark was a darker color than the others. It was cursed in the night, but nothing was taken. The fairy flew off, in search of the boy without a fairy. The search led her to a treehouse suspended off the ground. She flew inside, and saw a young boy being plagued by nightmares. She flew over, and tried to rouse him.
"Hey! Harry! Wake up! Come on! Can Hyrule really depend on such a lazy boy?"
Harry slowly woke up, his latest round of nightmare having just ended. He sat up, and moved to the edge of the bed.
"Who're you?"
"Finally! I'm Navy. Hagrid sent me to find you. The Great Guaridan wants to meet with you! I'm to show you the way."
"I know where to go. I've listened to Hagrid's stories before." Harry got out of bed after that, and left the tree house. He saw a girl run over, and smiled. It was Hermione, one of the children of the forest. She had her own guardian fairy for as long as she could remember, and though she looked like a child, she was ageless. Kokiri matured quickly, at which point, age didn't matter. They all had the same weakness. They couldn't leave the forest. Harry learned what he was last year, and could come and go from the forest as he pleased. It really helped the otjhers, to have an outsider accepted as a kokiri. They finally had an open trade with the other races. Harry supplied the kokiri with supplies from outside, and supplied the outside with things found only in this forest.
Harry climbed down the ladder and headed toward Hagrid's Haven, but was stopped by another boy. He was also clad in green, but had bleached blonde hair. He wore a near-permanent smirk.
"You can't pass through to Hagrid's meadow unless you have a sword and shield. There are dangers unfamiliar to us Kokiri. Dangers that you might have brought back with you. Until you have both a sword and shield, I can't let you pass."
"Draco, you let others pass whenever they want, and I have my own fairy now. Why do I need a sword and shield to pass when others don't?"
"You are not one of us. You aren't a Kokiri. Kokiri just look like a docile race, but we have great skill hand-to-hand. You are half-hylian, half-human. Hylians have great skill with the blade. Humans have great skill with magic. But neither have been allowed in the forest until now, halfling."
Harry was affronted at being called a halfling, and stalked away, in search of a sword. He learned of a sacred grove behind a small tunnel, and went there for a sword. He then used 40 rupees to buy a shield. he equipped both, and headed back, where he was finally given entry. He traveled the path, and encountered a deku-baba, a man-eating plant monster that was rooted to the ground. This kind stayed upright, and swayed back and forth, trying to hit unsuspecting victims with it's venomous thorns. Link cut it down easily, and then finished his treck to Hagrid's Haven He confronted Hagrid.
"Welcome Harry. This is my Haven. Behind me is the Sacred Tree, and it's been cursed by something. I've heard of your trecks in Hyrule field, and think this could be a suitable challenge for you. Wielding your sword and shield, i want you to enter the tree, and eliminate the beast that's inside the tree. Upon investigation, it is a spider. A very venomous spider, called Gohma. You must eliminate it, for only you have the strength to. If you succeed, you shall be rewarded. I'm sure you've heard the legend of the stones of Virtue. The Kokiri's emerald, the Giant's Ruby, and the Merpeople's Sapphire. I might be able to help you there."
"I'll do it."
"Great! I'll allow you entry. I must tell you, that there is a mtreasure that you need, which is located in the Sacred Tree." The tree's mouth opened then, allowing Harry entry. The young Halfling entered the tree, and immediately saw monsters. He climbed the ladder, and walked along the raised section, until he came to a chest, and some vines. He opened the chest, and pulled the map out of it. He then noticed the spiders on the vines, which navy identified as Skullwalltullas. Harry bypassed the vines for now, and instead went into the door at the end of the path he was on. He then went through the next door, finding a floating platform, and a large chest. He crossed the gap using the platform, causing said platform to fall and break. Harry opened the chest, obtained the slingshot, shot the ladder down, and left the room. He destroyed the skulltullas, cloimbed up, then went to an opening, and jumped onto the spider web in the middle of the floor, falling through. He fell a long way, into some brownish water. He noticed that the door ahead was unbarred so he swam to shore. He walked through the door, into a dark room. He looked around, not noticed anything, until he looked up, and saw a big, yellow eye. The eye blinked, and the spider started moving, before dropping.
Harry started fighting it, finding it difficult. He couldn't find out how to defeat her, and ended up avoiding her fangs on more than one occasion. He looked around for a safe haven, and found none, but that moment of distraction cost him dearly, as he was bitten on the arm. He cried out in pain, and alreeady felt his arm going numb. He used his remaining hand to search his gear, and found what he was looking for, a bottle of red potion. He used his teeth to pull the stopper out, and drank it. The potion healed him, and stopped the venom. With feeling back in his hand, he grabbed is slingshot, and aimed for her eye, hoping that it was her weakness. He fired a deku seed there, and it just bounced off.
"You have to shoot her eye just before she attacks!!" Harry then waited, and saw her eye glow red as she was getting ready to attack. He fired a Deku Seed at her eye, and smiled as it caused her to collapse. Harry then hacked at her eye. After many slashes, she collapsed, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief. She burned away, and Harry saw a magic portal open. He entered it, and left the tree. The Halfling noticed that the Sacred tree's color was worse now.
"I'm sorry Harry, but it seems that your efforts were for naught. Apparently Gohma caused too much damage by the time you defeated her. But I will still hold my end of the deal. I told you about the three sacred stones. The Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. Well, the three Spiritual Stones, are three of the four required artifacts to gain entry into the Chamber of the Master Sword, otherwise known as the Blade of Evil's Bane. I know not where the sword is, only what it is. Perhaps the Princess of Destiny can help you. It is time I revealed the real reason you were protected here. You see. You are the one who was chosen to stop the dark one from obtaining the Deathly Hallows. Three objects with immense powers of their own. Separate, they are harmless. Together, the holder is nigh immortal. It is your job to preven them from falling into the wrong hands. Go to Hyrule Castle. There you will surely meet the Princess of Destiny. Also, take this. It is the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. The Kokiri's Emerald."
Harry took the stone and nodded. He left the haven, as the Sacred Tree withered and died. The barrier protecting the Kokiri's Forest dissipated, as Harry left the forest for a long time. He never looked back.
A/N: This was Chapter 2. I'm going to up the rating to M. There will be no sexual content, it's just a precaution. Again, please read and review, even if it's to tell me my sory stinks. I want to hear your opinions.
