After walking for almost two and a half hours, Link was lost inside the Deep Darkness. The swamp was murky and cold. Link was trudging towards the fire, but he could not see the smoke anymore as the area got darker and darker. This was getting worse as dusk was approaching, Link was worried for his life whether he can make it out alive in the swamp for a day. Dangerous creatures such as snakes, large spiders, and insects that carry deadly diseases were often active at night.

Link was pacing at a faster rate now. Dusk has arrived and visibility is declining fast. Since the vampires took Link's sword, he decided to make himself a makeshift spear out of a long tree branch and sharpened a rock that he found from the swamp's water. Not as good as a sword, but still a form of self-protection.

Night fell. Link was still deep inside the swamp. He couldn't tell whether he was going in the right direction or not. But then, he saw something. He saw Bulbins. These Bulbins were strange looking, instead of green skin their hides were shadowish. It was most likely from the demons' magic.

"They must have their leader nearby." Link thought.

Unfortunately, one of the shadow bulbins spotted him from the trees. The bulbin blew a horn and many shadow bulbins surrounded Link.

Link brought out his spear to defend himself. The shadow bulbins were using their clubs to batter Link. Link started to swing his spear and it scratched some of them. More shadow bulbins came and they clubbed Link until he fell unconscious. They dragged Link towards their campsite and threw him into a cell. The cell was just a hut with iron gates on it.

Even though Link was unconscious, he was dreaming.

He felt the presence of a few individuals around him. A youthful voice began speaking to him, "Link, the old tree may be dead. But there still is hope!"

Another voice perked up, "Yeah! We all may be inexperienced but there is strength in numbers. You need to recruit as many people to fight against the demons!"

Link spoke back, "But how can I do that? I can't even fend for myself!"

A womanly voice replied, "Link, you are the hero chosen by the goddesses. It is simply your destiny."

"What destiny?" Link questioned.

"You and many diverse individuals will save the lands of Nodentni from evil." The woman replied.

"Where do I find these individuals?" Link questioned.

"Why some of us are chosen to go with you! But we are only in your dreams right now." One of the younger voices said.

"I'm the closest near you, Link. I'm at the heart of Deep Darkness. To find me, go see King DK. I have entrusted him with a stone that will locate me. He lives in the Jungle Japes, it's not far from here."

"Why can't you meet me and bust me out of the bulbin's lair?" Link argued.

"I don't want to end up like the Deku Tree. It's too dangerous if I go alone."

The woman started to talk, "Also, Link. With the tree gone, your other self will awaken forcibly this night."

"Other self?" Link puzzled.

The young, peppy voice chirped, "Oh you mean he's a-"

Link woke up in a jail cell. The bulbins noticed him stirring and opened the cell to make him face their king. They grabbed his arms and forced him outside. Link felt very strange. Somehow, he couldn't resist looking at the moon. He started to get sweaty, and he felt his bones shift. Link was in agonizing pain. He was growing dark hair around his body. His legs shifted and his jawline started to push out and form a muzzle. His eyes then started to have a strange glow to them. It became clear that Link is a werewolf.

The bulbins started to try to put the wolf down by clubbing it. Link didn't know how to fight well enough, but he had superior agility and outran the bulbins.

Link felt strange trying to get used to this new form. He was a black and white wolf with glowing blue eyes. He had a much easier time seeing due to his heightened senses.

Link heard a noise not too far. It sounded like a monkey screeching. Link made his way quietly only to find reptilian monsters had captured a monkey wearing a red shirt and hat. Link heard voices coming from them.

"I won't tell you where my uncle is, you ugly kremlings!" the monkey screeched.

"Fine, we'll force it out of you!" the kremling sneered.

Link decided to save the monkey. He used a surprise attack and pounced one of the kremlings. His fangs worked hard to try to pierce flesh. As Link defeated the kremling, the other was putting on a battle face and was going to try to pummel Link. Link evaded the attack with ease and made work of the other kremling.

Link walked up to the monkey's cage and saw that it was a steel cage.

Link asked, "Is there a key to this cage?"

The monkey asked, "Are you saving me? Or are you going to eat me?"

Link looked at the monkey, "No I'm not gonna eat you. I can't imagine anything eating a monkey."

"Really? Thanks Mr. Wolf!"

"Just call me Link."

"Oh Link then. Well the key is in that kremling's satchel."

Link found the satchel and picked it up with his jaw and tried to open it.

"I'll just open it. Opposable thumbs are awesome!" The monkey suggested.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Link looked down to his paws.

The monkey opened up his cage door.

"Thanks for busting the kremlings, Link. My name is Diddy Kong!" Diddy Kong thanked.

Diddy Kong asked, "Hey Link? Do you think you can come with me to the Jungle Japes? I don't want to get captured by kremlings again along the way."

"Jungle Japes? Yes, that's where I need to go!" Link thought.

Link nodded in response.

Diddy Kong began climbing up a tree and swinging from branches. Link ran along with Diddy Kong.

Kremlings are alligator enemies from DK: Country

Hoped everyone liked this chap. I'm getting all sorts of ideas for it and yes, it does have a definitive end.

Review to help keep motivating me to write, it makes me glad that people would give a crap about my stories.
