Link: Its okay, Kyon's lying. She just went to the restroom.
Kyon: Link! I was trying to make it sound cool. "She just went to the restroom" sounds boring!
hyper-active-angel-in-training: (flushing sound of in the distance) I'm here! I do not own any of the Zelda games!!!!
Chapter 3
Voice of Reason
It was a quaint little forest. Cute little homes were everywhere. Kids my age ran around while a tune echoed in the air. It made me smile
"This is your home? It's perfect!" I spun around taking in the forest surrounding the little huts.
"Thanks. We're going across to the other side, by the shop over there. You see it?" I squinted my eyes so I could see in the distance, and my vision focused to see the shop. By the shop was another chasm being guarded by a little boy.
"Yeah I do! So we're going to talk to that boy?" I asked.
"No, not exactly. I have to talk to the person beyond the chasm. We have to get through the boy over there." He glared at the boy.
"Is he really that bad?" I looked at the boy. He was playing with a butterfly, not paying the slightest bit of attention to his surroundings. "He looks harmless…and dense."
"Oh trust me. Mido is anything but dense, although his brain doesn't do him any justice. All he does is bully everyone."
"Really? He looks like a total moron." He was still playing with the butterfly.
"Okay, come with me and meet him. You won't like him after that." We headed towards the boy passing other children as we went.
I noticed that the other children have fairies just like Link does. They all bobbled around the children's head playfully or tinkled amongst themselves. They sparkled like miniature suns in the air.
"Link?"
"Hmm?"
"Do all the children here have fairies?"
"Yeah. They get them when their born. I didn't get Navi until today."
"Why is that?"
"I don't know. I do know that I was born here, and that I should have gotten a fairy." He trailed off into silence. I must have crossed a line when I asked.
"I'm sorry Link. I should have kept my mouth shut. It's just…I'm very intuitive."
"That's okay Kyon…I forgive you." He smiled and that made me smile.
"Thanks Link."
We jumped across some stepping stones that lead to the store. A girl was sitting on the roof of the store giggling at her fairy that was tumbling in the air like an acrobat. She glanced down and spotted Link, then me.
"Hey Link…who's your friend?" The girl asked.
"This is Kyon. Is the Deku Tree doing any better?"
"No…he's doing worse. Mido won't let anyone through. He says we have to have weapons to protect ourselves if we go see him. He knows we don't fight and that all we have are sling shots." She smiles at me as she saw the weapon at my hip. "So, Kyon, you have weapons. Why don't you go past Mido and see if the Deku Tree needs any help of sorts?"
"I'm sorry…I don't know how to wield a sword. I was never taught." I apologized.
"No need. Just take in Link with you. He knows how. The boys fight at the training yard everyday."
I looked at Link. He was scrawny, but had muscle. I thought about it and made my decision.
"Okay. I'll take Link in, or Link can take me in."
"What do you mean?" Link asked.
"Well…I give you the sword, we get in, and you talk to this Deku person."
"I like that idea." The girl said. "Then Mido will defiantly let you in. I don't think he'd let a girl in even if she has a weapon…the sexist. Nevertheless he'll let you in Kyon, because you're with Link, who is a boy."
"Yeah I guess." Link said.
"Well come on then, lets get goin'." I gave Link the sword and shield. "These are for you anyway, told you you'd need them."
"Be quiet." He muttered.
With that we waved to the girl and walked Mido's way. I glanced over at Link. He didn't look comfortable with a sword on his back.
"Link…what exactly did you practice with?"
"We practiced with sticks…" I saw him blush.
If he practiced with sticks…which is light…how is he going to fight with a sword. A sword is much heavier than a stick, and I'm sorry to report that he doesn't look like he could even swing it.
We reached Mido in less than ten seconds. We stopped in front of him as he continued to play with the butterfly from earlier. He looked up and looked at Link with the I-don't-know-what-you-think-your-doing-look.
"What do you want Link." He said impatiently and with a hint of superiority under his voice. "If I won't let the other Kokori in that means I'm defiantly not going to let you in. You need a weapon to get in here…even if you had one I wouldn't let you in." He smirked at Link, which made me mad.
"What makes you think you can rule this roost mister!" I shouted at him. His head snapped my way, shock written all over his face. He evidently didn't see me. "Your not top dog, I don't see a name tag on that rag tag vest of yours that says Mr. Boss Man! I evidently wasn't here when the kids here cast their vote for you to be the boss. Was there one?"
"N-no…" He stuttered.
"As I thought, so you can stop being an idiot and let Link through! He needs to see the Deku Tree!" I huffed and puffed over my rage.
"No!" He regained his posture. "I will not let him in. He doesn't have a weapon."
"Hello dummy, anyone in there." I tapped on his head. "What is this on his back?"
Mido looked on Link's back and just stared. He saw the sword there. He shook his head and stepped aside.
"Fine…go in. I hope the Deku Tree sends you right back out for disturbing him." Mido's last retaliation wasn't a good one.
Link and I walked by Mido. We went through the chasm and to a huge clearing with a big ass tree. I stared at it and panic washed over me.
"Link what it that?" I pointed at the tree.
"He is the Great Deku Tree." He said with pride in his voice.
"Oh…Okay." I fainted.
I felt myself come back to consciousness. The blackness ebbed away to show light shining down on me. Link's face was over my face creased with worry. I sat up and took in my surroundings. We were still in the little meadow in the chasm, and the big ass tree was still there.
Does she bode well? A voice boomed into my head.
"Yeah," Link replied. "She just fainted."
I felt my face heat up. I had never done that before, and I can say I don't like it. I quickly looked down ashamed of myself. I am usually good with keeping my emotions in check, unless you count my emotional state around Itachi.
"I'm fine." I stated calmly. I stood up and dusted off my back.
Well I am glad you are well little one. The voice boomed again. I would have had to bury you beneath my roots if you hadn't.
I staggered at that.
"He was only joking. He knew you'd be alright." Link chuckled.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Positive."
Okay my little ones. Now isn't the time for bickering. Link, I must tell you something gravely important. Please, lend your ears.
With that, he went on to tell Link, more than me, how he came to Kokori Forest. About his mother leaving behind a Hyrulian boy, before she past away. How Link was raised here up until now. About the dark wizard Ganandorf, and what he wants. About the three goddesses, and what Link must do to save Hyrule.
Link, Ganandorf has done something most grievous because I wouldn't give him the Kokori Emerald. He has laid a spell upon these branches. Link, crawl into my maw, and free me. The tree opened his mouth.
I was horror-struck. This giant tree wanted Link to do what?! I looked at Link as he stood up and went towards the tree's open mouth.
"Link! You're not going in there! Are you?" I grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"I have too. The Deku Tree needs me. I must break the spell." He pulled from my grasp. "You don't have to come. Just stay here. I won't take long." He ran into the tree's mouth.
"LINK!"
It has been hours since Link ran into the tree, and nothing has changed with it. The leaves still fell off the dead branches, the bark was still peeling off, and I could see the roots visibly rot in front of me. I was worried Link had gotten trapped somewhere in there and was calling my name.
I wiped the sweat of my brow and stood up. I started to pace, my legs feeling like jelly. Link was in trouble, I knew it. I needed to do something, but what. I don't have a weapon at all.
Wait! The shop in the forest! It has to have something I could use.
I ran top speed out of the meadow and through the chasm. I plowed into Mido and knocked him down. I ran on as he yelled at my receding back. I pushed through the shops doors and ran up to the counter out of breath.
"Well hello there." A chubby boy behind the counter said. "How may I help you?"
"I need a weapon! Quick!"
"The only "weapon" we have is a sling shot."
"That'll work! Hurry!"
He turned to the shelves behind him and took down a sling shot. He walked back to the counter and set it down.
"30 rupees." He said simply.
"Add some ammunition in there too." I said.
He walked to the shelf and got down some ammo.
"50 rupees."
I quickly paid him and ran out. I ran over to the chasm entrance where Mido was dusting himself off. I ran past him and into the meadow. I ran up to the mouth and stopped. Panic washed over me as the dark hole stared at me.
Then I thought of Link stuck somewhere calling my name. That gave me the confidence I needed to run into the dark hole. I ran and ran until I came to a central chamber. It was pretty dark and there was no light. I looked around. There was no one here.
I walked forward and suddenly fell. I screamed bloody murder. The tree tricked us, I'm sure of it. This is what happened to Link! He probably fell like I did into the stomach! I kept screaming and screaming until I fell into something wet. Acid!
I tried to swim to somewhere where it couldn't touch me, but I was in to much of a panic to concentrate. I screamed as my clothes got heavier and heavier with the acids weight. This was it. I was going to die here.
"Oh look at her brothers. She looks scared." A voice came from the darkness.
"Yes, scared."
"Should we help her?"
The voices laughed and got closer.
"No, but maybe we should watch as she drowns."
Then it hit me. The acid wasn't burning me at all. It was water! I swam to where the voices came from and hit land. I quickly stood up and ran out of the water.
"Oh, she got out."
"Make her get back in."
A noise came from the dark. I sounded like someone was spitting something out of their mouth. Then a nut, the size of a leather ball the children would play with back in the courtyard, came barreling out of the dark at me.
"Ahhhh!" I dodged the gigantic nut and rolled onto the ground.
I got up from the ground with murder in my eyes. I didn't have time for this. Link was in trouble. I ran towards the culprit which ran away in terror. He ran until he got to a bush then disappeared. I looked around, there were two more bushes like this. Then I saw the entrance to where I thought Link might be. I heard a strange noise come from its bowels.
"How do I get in?" I pondered.
"You won't be able to get in, because we won't let you." One of the bushes said.
"Yeah, so you better scram!" Another said.
I glared at the bush in front of me and reached into it.
"What are you doing!?" The bush in front of me said.
I felt my hand grasp something so I pulled. A plant thing came out with my hand.
"Please spare me!" It screamed.
"BROTHER!" The other two bushes screamed.
"Let me in or he gets it!" I yelled.
The door opened so I walked over to it with the plant guy in tow. When I reached it I quickly dropped the plant person and rolled under the falling door. I knew they would do something like this. They were Deku Scrubs, plant people who would con you into something and take it away the next second with its winnings.
A noise came from behind me and caught my attention. Behind me was an empty chamber. Pillars grew from the ground to reach the ceiling around the room. A noise came from the chamber so I walked out into it. I looked around for a sign of Link, nothing was here. The noise came from above me so I looked up to see something, so ugly, so vile, I almost puked right there. It stared at me with its one eye and made a groaning noise.
"Kyon, get out of there!" Links voice yelled from behind a pillar.
I ran towards his voice as tiny eggs started to rain down on me. I panicked and tripped over myself. I lay on the ground paralyzed by what I saw. Tiny ugly things started to sprout from the eggs. I screamed as they lunged at me.
Link ran out from behind the pillar and hacked them all into tiny bits. He grabbed my upper arm and pulled me to safety. I sat there huffing and puffing trying to wrap my mind upon the reality of all this.
"What are you doing down here?" Link asked a little annoyed.
"I thought you were dead! You take forever to do something you know!" I yelled.
Just then the spider looking, ugly thing jumped at us from the wall. I screamed and raised my sling shot. I loaded it with the ammo and shot at the things eye. The ammo made contact with a blinding flash. The thing screamed and lay paralyzed on the ground.
"What did you do?" Link asked.
"I don't know, but you should attack it now while it's out!"
Link ran up to the beast and hacked at it. The spider couldn't do anything to fight back, so instead screamed in agony. Link chopped and chopped until it wasn't breathing anymore. I hurriedly sat down because my legs wouldn't support me anymore.
"Link…" I said, then broke down and cried. Link came over to me and dropped the sword. He put his hand on my shoulder and said nothing. He's never had to comfort somebody before, I could tell. It was probably new to him.
"It will be alright." He whispered.
A light flashed in the middle of the room. We looked over to see a ring of light on the floor. I got up with Links help and we headed over to it. Everything went dark.
