(Pov Navi)

Lost Woods Revenant

The body of someone brought back from the dead via magic. This poor soul was lost in the kokiri woods and their body reflects that. The bark infused into their skin gives of a hallucinogenic sap if ingested in any way. Best to use fire to put them down quickly or stab into their fleshy sides.

Navi was horrified by what she was seeing. Upon finding the door that had been unlocked she wondered what fear would be. She never knew Link as a scared individual in the short time she'd known him. Yes he had shown quick fear at the parasite in the Deku tree, but that was to be expected due to it's size and horrifying appearance. When she and Serv entered they were greeted with a dark and misty forest and, unlike the last one, no door to guide them. So Navi ,who was being carried ,and Serv walked tensely through the forest. It came as a surprise when Serv was suddenly tackled out of nowhere and knocking her to the ground. At first she assumed it was that despair person that had tried to kill her at the stalbeserker ,but then she wonder what had.

When she saw what had tackled Serv she sat there as terror and disgust gripped her heart. The being that had tackled Serv looked like a corpse ,yet unlike other enemy of the same origin this one still resembled a person. The figure had an masculine frame ad wore what looked like a hunters garb. with a hood that extended into a cape , a redshirt that had a strap attached though it had a massive gash on the left side , and brown pants with a black belt. Unfortunately that's where the hylian appearance ended. It's skin was turning a sickly grey color and it's exposed left side had showed scars and bite marks. It's exposed hands were also grey ,but the right one was encased in tree bark. Of course the face of the induvial face was something out of the books she read. It was that of an middle age man with the left side it's sickly grey color though it had some trees roots going through it and it's eye was hollow. The right side was completely encased in bark except for it's mouth in were it's teeth looked brittle and cracked. of course to add one more feature to the disgusting creature it was drooling from both sides of it's mouth. The drool was a combination of bright yellow and light violet ;however, the worst part was she could smell the drool from the creature and she hated to admit...it smelled enticing.

her thoughts on the creature stopped when she saw it suddenly was launched back by what looked like pressurized wind. The creature hit a tree but made no audible noise as it made it way back to it's face. "I'm getting tired of dead things not staying dead." Serv said as he got back up. His hand ,or the sleeve that hid it. suddenly came to life with flames. In an instant the revenant was encased in flames and the figure lurched forward in an attempt to grab the cloaked figured ,but it didn't get far as it was soon done in by the flames not even half way to Serve.

She hated how pleasant it's burning corpse smelt.

"So Navi you disgusted again?" Serv asked extending a hand down to help her up to her feet. "Actually I think I'm over it now." The fairy said accepting the cloaked hand. In honesty Navi was starting to become too used to being surprised with all the tricks in the labyrinth. " So what Link's scared of dying?" Navi asked trying to figure the point of the trial. "Aren't we all?" He said in a scholarly way. "Not a time to get philosophical Serv." She stressed to the man. " Fine then. In all honesty no I don't think death ,or any undead thing, scares Link enough to create this room." He said as groans filled the air. Two more undead came from behind the trees each dressed as then first. The only difference was one was carrying a rust broadsword and the other a pitch fork.

"Course I could be wrong." Serv said before he unleashed a torrent of flames. Like the first they were also engulfed except unlike the first they didn't go down without resistance. The one with the broadsword took a running Sprint into the flames sword healed high above it's head. It got close enough for survey to stop sending out flames and let two knife like weapons ,which she would latter find out were kukris , fall from his sleeves. He blocked the initial over head strike from the undead and buried the other knife into the fleshy part of the revenants head.

Taking her eyes off of Serv and the other Revenant she found the other had raised the pitchfork and was about to toss it like a javelin. Thinking quick she took the small blade she'd grown use to and tossed it at the living dead. Fortunately while the blade didn't hit it the hilt did staggering the target and causing them to miss their intended target. The revenant gave one look at Navi before allowing the flames to consume him. " Nice throw." Turning her head to the voice she saw Serv she saw he was staring(?) at her." Thanks." She accepted the compliment and went to retrieve her weapon. Bending down to retrieve it she pulled her hand back when she felt how hot it was. "That being said not the brightest to throw your weapon at a flaming enemy...though I suppose that more my fault." After saying that she heard Serv started digging into his sleeve while he stepped closer. "Here. I'll hold onto the tanto till it cools down and till then you can use this." Turning her head she saw a handle that looked far different to the weapon she had been using.

"You really like giving me stabbing weapons." She said this after accepting and looking at the new weapon. It was more of a stabbing weapon with a straight edge and had to prongs on the side. The weapon felt lighter than the tanto ,but it also seemed to have different capabilities. "First off you've seemed pretty adept with stabbing ,so I'm going to continue giving weapons like that. Second I really don't know your preference for weapons since we're on a time limit. Third it's called a sai if you need name." Serv explained while he picked up her old weapon ,which will be missed, and dropped it into his sleeve.

After that Navi noticed the corpse of the...corpse was doing something strange. From inside it's mouth emitted a small light blue glow. she almost didn't notice it as she was more preoccupied staring at the new weapon she acquired ,but the weapon reflected a bit of light from the glow. Turning to the corpse she was about to start her scan when she heard the sound of more revenants approaching. " Navi I don't nknow what's got your attention ,but deal with it later." Serv said as he dodged an arrow.

Turning her hair the assailant proved to be another revenant ,but this one seemed more feminine. Near her stood four other revenants , three male and one female, only two armed with a weapon. An rusty iron chain weilded by one of the male revenants and scimitar by the female revenant. Serv went to shoot flames at them once again ,but was interrupted as he had to jump leap left to avoid an arrow. Unfortunately the chain weilding revenant acted on the action and tossed the chain at the bottom of Serv's legs. It was successful in the attempt and when the cloacked man's legs were rapped in the chain he pulled back bringing Serv to his back and dragging him forward.

Navin took the opprotunity , as the revenants seemed to pay her no mind, to run towards an unarmed undead. As she grew closer she jumped,while she let out a scream of fury, towards the undead to plunge the weapon into it's head. Her intended target however had heard her scream and turned it's head to look at her causing the weapon to sink into the bark of the creature. It stumbled back yet quickly regained footing and stared at her. Navi stared back as her weapon was stuck in the head as she was eye level. She took the moment to realize she had jumped surprising high ,as she was half the monsters height, before her situation caught up with her.

She was eye level with undead who gave a blank stare into her own eyes. Not her smartest move in the heat of the moment ,yet she wasn't about to be grabbed again. Planting her feet on the revenants chest she tried pull the blade out using the undead as leverage. She got the blade a few inches out before the dead in retaliation punched her in the stomach. The force of the blow not only caused her to let go and gasp in pain ,but also send her flying into another tree. Clutching her stomach she greedily started sucking in air while looking back at the undead. Noticing she landed next to one of the undead from earlier she suddenly had thought. Why was it staying and not turning to smoke? Everything else in the dungeon had turned to smoke ,so why did the cadaver of their previous smoke stay there? Did it have something to do with the small light that was in the body's mouth.

She turned her head when she heard a cry of fury from the group to see that Serv had broken free from the chain wielding undead and stood a few feet from three of the undead. She saw that Serv put his hands up and glow a light beige color before it disappeared and a dome of stone surrounded the three undead. The dome quickly when back into the ground bringing it's contents with it leaving the archer and the one she stabbed left. The archer saw this and let out a snarl drawing three arrows from her quiver and aimed at Serv and as he turned around she let the arrows fly at her target. Now Serv was able to dodge the first two ,but the third struck him in the shoulder blade. Serv ,for his part, didn't seem to acknowledge the arrow deep in his shoulder and instead tossed his one of kukris in an overhead throw at the undead. Said undead rolled out of the way of the knife and drew another arrow.

'Wait where's the other.' The thought suddenly struck taking her eyes off the battle to see the undead she stabbed trying to pull the sai out of his head. It had accidentally pushed the blade further in it's initial attempt to take out the blade. Despite the blade's deep stab the revenant pulled it out ,while ripping out some bark, with a triumphant roar. After that the undead being turned to look at her and started shambling towards tried to get up only to sit herself back down as the pain grew more intense with her movement. Finding herself figuratively rooted to the spot Navi choose at this time to find out what the meaning of the blue glow within the undead meant.

Point o Fear

You can't always conquer fear ,so why not learn to coexist with it.

Well that cleared up nothing. How did coexisting with fear cause the undead cause them to keep coming to attack ;furthermore, wasn't it the undead that had attacked them. She and Serv hadn't really been afraid of anything , well nothing in the room, that could have caused the undead to start attacking. The revenant was closer now and she was still laying there. The worry put her brain into overdrive as she felt what she had learned could help here. ' Okay can't beat fear ,but that's the opposite of what the legends said.' Legends of old often told of heroes conquering all kinds of horrifying monstrosities. From what she had learned she was meant to accept that she was scared.

Yet that went against everything that the great fairy and her peers had taught her. If Link wanted to grow up to be a hero .like the Great Deku Tree, had said then Link couldn't feel fear. The monster was closer now. Okay live with fear...FEAR OF WHAT!? SPIDERS, DEATH,THE FACT THAT SHE WAS CURRENTLY USELESS! IT WAS FUN HAVING AN ABILITY THAT WAS INCONSITANT. TELL YOU WHAT TO DO SOMETIMES VAUGE OTHERS. ' Need to calm down' the fairy thought as her panicked thoughts seemed to cause the undead to go faster. Living with fear ,so what she needed to do was what just let it happen. let the thing get closer and just stare at it. Not that she had many options left.

It was standing above her.

The revenant was bending down on it's knees. He stared at her with a piercing dull gaze. The wound she had inflicted earlier was still their leaking the same yellow purple hybrid color like it's drool. The things breath smelt of an odd combination or rot , weeds , and surprisingly fresh fruit. Still Navi looked ahead her heart pounding in her chest making it more apparent than her bruised stomach , and probably rib to. With one final look the undead started leaning in closer widening his mouth in an almost snake like manner.

Navi could only accept her fate.
