Chapter 3: Goroh saga part 1

Note: Revised.


Link and Kirby had finally arrived in Hyrule field. What once was a beautiful vast plain has turned into a burnt harsh land. Kirby walked in a confused pattern as they crossed the baron wasteland. As they're walking through the field, a giant shadow of a bird flies above them. Kirby makes a startled gasp as the shadow begins to grow larger. Link remains still watching the shadow moves toward a bare but sturdy tree. They look in the branches of the tree to see a large owl.

"Hey Kaepora Gaebora, Long time no see!" Link said as he approached the tree. Kirby followed in cautious steps behind Link.

"Link, it has been ages!" said Kaepora Gaebora. "What brings you back to Hyrule after such a crisis?"

"You see this little guy wants to talk to the Deku Tree." Link said as he pushed Kirby closer to the tree.

"I see. I wonder why this warrior looks so familiar." Kaepora said. "Well none the less, if he has to talk to the Deku tree, then it must be important, so I won't stall you any longer." Kaepora says as he begins to flap his wings. "Although I should warn you, there have been mysterious men around this area looking for something.

"We'll keep watch for them." Link said. He then flies off without a trace.

Kirby tugs Link's tunic and moves his arms in a confused manner. "Oh you wanna know what happened to this place huh." Said Link. Kirby nodded.

Link sighed and said "let's just say there was a big fight here okay."

As they walked through a valley of cut and burned trees they eventually made it to an upraised part of earth with a large hole in its wall. They walked through and reached a bridge. Link had paused for a minute, sensing something. Kirby stopped too, wondering if link was okay. Link noticed this and began to walk again.

They eventually reached kokiri forest. Oddly enough, it wasn't destroyed like the rest of Hyrule.

As they walked through the forest it was quiet. There were no kokiri outside playing or getting lectured by their fairies. Link had called out with a "HELLO" but to no avail. He tried again this time stating who he was. This caused a churning of whispers that filled the forest.

After this, kokiri after kokiri poured out of buildings, holes and rocks saying "the big hero!" They gathered and surrounded the heroes. "It's been so long!" said one voice and another said "he'll save us!"

"Hey calm down everybody!" said Link.

Soon they began settle.

"So what have you come here for!" said Mido as he pushed his way through the crowd.

"Well you see my friend here wants to meet the Great Deku Tree, so I came to take him to it." Link said with a heroic smile. The kokiri started to make faces of shock and awe. Link's smile faded as he watched the kokiri.

"What's wrong?" Link asked.

Before the kokiri could answer, Kirby had screamed as a giant boulder came their way. The kokiri scattered and Link and Kirby avoided the rock.

"Well look who decided to show up." Said a familiar voice.

"I-it's you; you're the guys from the crash!" Link said recognizing the men that stood before them.

"Well I'm glad you remember me" said Samurai Goroh as he and his crew approached them.

"You guys lost me a fortune for saving that dog!" "And now I'm glad I can get revenge he said.

"Hey it looks like da bloak in da hoodie was right, they did come 'ere!" said a small man in the group.

"So you're the guys Kaepora was talking about!" Link said.

"Well I don't know what you guys want with the Great Deku Tree, but I won't let you bastards get away with hurting my friends!" Link said unsheathing his sword. "This time we finish this!"
