Chapter One: Waking a Lazy Hero

The wind of the forest was archaic, always seeming to be the same smells, the same feel, and the same look, but for the boy who had no fairy, it was home. Kokiri Forest was a haven, and in the year of 343 H.A, it housed a very few shops, but many you would mistake for children. The Kokiri, or the people who lived in the Forest all wore green, and all had fairies. But while Link, the son of a legendary warrior, mirrored their clothing, he did not have a fairy. Chills hindered his spine, as he kept having the same nightmare, again and again it would be the same story. Link could recognize the royal princess from paintings he had seen in the museum some of the scrubs had put together... but why was he dreaming of her, and what was their connection? What troubled him further was the sight of a large man, who struck Link after the princess, had fled. It was ridiculous, and at 12 am he heard a scream from far away, and he quickly ran outside of his house. And yet, the forest was silent, all of the Kokiri people asleep. Link felt that he was going insane, even after shrugging the thought off, he re-entered his modest tree house, and lay on his back, slowly drifting to sleep, with insanity a current thought in his mind. He slept, confronted by blackness, and the never ending nightmare that just seemed to hunt him, luckily he was woken up by a distant shrieking. "Come on, wake up kid!" Link sat up as the voice just kept repeating itself again and again. Wiping his eyes, he opened them fully and could not believe his eyes, it was a fairy, a beautiful fairy. "Wow… a fairy… have you chosen me?" Link spoke this in almost relief, and the fairy started to say "Yes but…" She was cut off by Link "Wow! I knew some day a fairy would choose me! I know im not worthless, I've always known it, and now I can rub it in Mido's face!" Link looked as if he was going to continue, but the fairy hushed him. "I am Navi, white fairy of guardianship, I am at your services, but I am afraid there is no time, the Deku Tree is…" The white cloaked fairy looked troubled, and once Link had heard the beloved Deku Tree mentioned, he was immensely troubled. As well as Saria, the Deku tree was the only being that seemed to accept Link truly, everyone but Mido was nice, but Link knew they were hiding their true emotions and feelings towards him. "He's dying…" Navi continued on, "And if we don't hurry, he will be doomed, we can still save him… but the power of the gods is entrusted in you… you'll learn more of your destiny in time, but for now, we must save the Deku tree. "Of course…" Link nodded, but secretly held back tears, he knew what he had to do however, he ran outside, and was proud to have his new fairy by his side. "Hey!" he heard a girls voice call out, and then he remembered. Link hit his Time Stone, and it was 11 AM, how could he have forgotten the festival? He looked down and saw a kokiri girl, about the height of himself, short, beautiful green hair, and the deepest green eyes Link had seen, deeper than the forest itself. "H-hey Saria…" Link scratched his head as Saria juts shook hers, but a smile quickly took over it. "Ah Link." She giggled "You always seem to sleep so much… its odd, but funny." She laughed some more, and Link saw the rest of his tribe cleaning up the Festival of Farore, a yearly party set in Farore, the goddess of the Forest, and green's, honor, lots of games, food, drinks, fun… and Link had missed it, all because he had slept in. He hung his head, but Saria smiled and gave him a hug. "Its ok, the Deku Tree wanted to see you anyways, Ill be hanging by your house, when you get back, we'll hang out, ok?" Link nodded, smiled, and waved at her as he jumped off of his treehouse, and quickly ran towards town.
