On a hill overlooking Hyrule field, the air seemed to darken slightly. A few Guays nearby noted the change in atmosphere, although decided to stand their ground. Just as they had settled back into their routine, a flash of black and red diamonds caused the majority of the guays packing, apart from one unfortunate guay, who was trapped under the pale figure, who stood calmly observing the sun rise.
"So this is what happened to the land after my master was vanquished, by that irritating worm''… muttered Ghirahim bitterly, glowering at the rising sun, and everything that the light greeted. "I think a little revenge is in order, against this peaceful land…" He stopped speaking as he noticed the panicking guay, which was cawing furiously, trying to escape.
"Ah, I remember your type…" Ghirahim leered as his picked the unfortunate bird by the wing. "Your brethren always attacked anyone who came in your territory, and you seem to be a particularly interesting specimen, so I think I should help you, to do what you are good at…"
While saying this, Ghirahim clicked his fingers with his free hand, summoning a single black diamond. He glanced at the hyperventilating guay, gave it no further thought, and forced the magic into the guay's back.
The guay gave a loud caw, and went limp, feeling the effects of the dark magic start to pump around its small frame. Ghirahim smiled with glee as he flicked his pure white hair backwards and let it return to its normal position. ''Give me a ''caw-l'' when you've wreaked havoc!'' , he laughed demonically at his own joke, before snapping his fingers and disappearing in a flash of diamonds.
After a few moments, the guay's eyes were stained a remorseless red and is started to visibly pulse. And then, it started to grow.
l"Link's had a peaceful awakening that morning, the first in a long time. He yawned while stretching, enjoying the fact that he hadn't yet reached for his sword. His current blade was one he had the smithy in Termina's Snowhead make, and it was indeed a fine weapon. Maybe not as mystical as the Master Sword, but still did the damage. His mind flew back to all those years ago, when he had faced down Odolwa, Goht, Gyorg and Twinmold, all with the blade. He had wanted to purge all the areas of Termina from their curses before tackling Majora himself. However, when he had got to Majora at last, the evil gave him that mask…
He thought no more of it, since he had pledged to only talk about or use that mask in dire situations, which had luckily not had since.
Link rolled out of his bed, and put on his new tunic, since he wanted to give the impression that he at least cared about his appearance. His ultimate destination that he would make would be to the castle, but he would stay the night at LonLon ranch, if Malon didn't faint on him like the last turned up after being gone for a while.
Link's reminiscing was cut short by a faint voice clearing her throat. He turned and walked out of his treehouse, to find a small sea of green below him, all smiling and waving at him, including Mido, although waving noticeably less than the others, a remnant of the old rivalry.
Deciding to spice things up, Link suddenly faced away from the Kokiri, who looked with dismay, then sudden realisation hit them, and they spread out to give Link space. Not wasting any time, he flipped backwards, landing in the midst of the Kokiri, who then swarmed him.
"Nice to see you too…" Link murmured in the middle of their laughter. Standing, with several of them still clinging to them, he started walking off, until they all dropped off, giggling. "Why were you gone so long?" most of them asked, even though Saria had already told them all. "Just don't leave again for so long!"
Link laughed, and then looking at the sun in the sky, decided that he should probably get a move on if he were to make LonLon by nightfall, but then remembered something.
"Everyone, I did get something for you all over in Termina…" he smiled warmly. "But you will need a cup in order to enjoy it…"
mmediately, the Kokiri rushed off, and each brought their cups, as Link brought a bottle out of his pack.
"Everyone, I got this from the Milk Bar in Clock Town. It's called 'Chateau Romani' and should make you feel completely energetic, not that is something you are lacking in…" he smiled, as he poured some into each awaiting cup. When he had finished, he gestured for them to drink, which they did eagerly.
As soon as the cups were drained, the effects were immediate, and quite humorous. The Kokiri started venting their newfound energy, by charging around and emitting high pitched shouts. Link looked over at Saria, who was managing to control the effects better than the rest. "Should I have done that?" He questioned.
"It was a nice gesture, but they might be completely out of it in an hour or so…" she giggled. "At least you got them something…"
"Well, since they can't leave the forest, I thought they ought to have a literal taste of the outside world." He looked up at Saria again, and admitted "I should probably get going".
Saria smiled and replied, "Well, have a safe trip. I'll alert you via ocarina if they get out of control…" She tilted her head in the direction of the other Kokiri, who were now trying to backflip across the village.
Link laughed, and called Epona over. Getting into the saddle, he turned one last time to the Kokiri, and trotted out of the forest, leaving the Kokiri to their antics.
Link breathed the fresh air of Hyrule field, relishing in its fresh taste. As Epona cantered along, he glanced towards Death Mountain, reminding himself that he should probably visit the Gorons and Zoras when he got a chance. They would want to see him as much as anyone else. Especially Dariuna and Ruto…
He suddenly noticed a change in Epona's pace, as he started being jolted. "Odd…" he thought, maybe she is just excited to see Malon again…
But he soon realised what had caught her attention. As LonLon ranch loomed up in the distance, he noticed an ominous shape circling the sky above what would be the ranch's coral, and then dive. Fearing for Malon and Talon, Link drew his bow, and urged Epona on, before he heard the scream…
I do not apologise for the awful pun earlier in the story. If you are reading this, be prepared for more. I take the opportunity when it arises, so expect more terrible ones in the future.
Thanks for reading! Review if you feel like it.
Thanks :)
