Chapter 2

Sitting on the leaves of the Great Deku Sprout, Navi looks up at the Deku Tree.

"Why did it have to be you?" she asks.

Before she was summoned to be with Link, the Deku Tree was the only thing to Navi that acted like family to her. But, because of what had happened not too long ago, Navi, now has nobody.

"I can't go see Zelda, Saria isn't here anymore, neither is Princess Ruto, Link, or the Deku Tree…" she says as she flutters off of the Deku sprout.

It's almost after midnight when Navi is out in Hyrule Castle Town, when she decides to just stay here for the night, because it's way too risky out in Hyrule field at this time. Dogs are running around, all the shops are closed, and nobody has even noticed Navi. Not until now.

A little girl walks out of a shop, looking around. She looks about the age of Link, and has curly blonde hair, and blue eyes. Something doesn't seem right about her though. It looks as if she isn't happy.

"Mom?!" she calls out as she starts walking around.

Navi gets up as she hears this. Not only does Navi look at the little girl, but the little girl looks at Navi. She flies slowly over to the little girl in confusion, not knowing what to do.

"Are you alright..?" Navi asks. The little girl shakes her head.

"Don't be shy… I won't hurt you…" tears starts building up in the girls' eyes.

"Who are you..?" she manages to ask.

"My name is Navi."

"My name is LIia.."

"That's a nice name." Navi looks around in confusion. "Wait a minute… Where did your parents go? You know it's way too dangerous out here at night?"

"That's what I want to know… They were in this store with me, but they all of a sudden vanished…" She explains. Navi knows that she does need to find her parents, so for now she decides to stay with LIia.

"Well, stay with me. Tomorrow morning, we can go and look for your parents. And if we don't find them, we need someone to look after you." As Navi says this, she starts to wonder if she should take her to Kokiri Forest. It seems like a good idea, but what if the other Kokiri don't except her in? It's ironic enough that she looks exactly like one of them, with the pointy ears, and a green dress (tunic if you would like to call it that.)

After taking a minute to think, Navi decides to just ask her in the morning and see what she says. But first, they need to find a place to stay the night.

"How about we stay at the inn?" LIia asks. "I have the rupees for one or two nights."

"Sure! I actually felt like it because I miss staying at inns…" Saying this makes Navi start to remember all the times that her and Link had stayed at the inn whenever they passed by Castle Town.

"You've been inside an inn before?" LIia finds this interesting.

"Yes. In fact, a LOT of times. How come?"

"I've barely been in one. I only know about them because my dad would normally stay here when he's away at a job." She explains.

"So where exactly do you live?"

"I live in Kakariko Village, but I never come to town for some reason."

"So this was your first time here I'm guessing?"

"Yes!"

"Don't tell me that when you saw the food, you just jumped straight for it without paying?"

"What?"

"Oh, heheh… Nothing…" Navi starts to remember her first trip to the town with Link, and when he just dived straight in for the food without knowing about paying.

"It's just something I remembered, that's all. Now how about heading to the inn?"

"Ok! Can you tell me about what you remembered?"
