After exiting the town, the young Deku was awaiting Stalkid's arrival in front of the swamp entrance. "I knew you would come out!" It said. Stalkid walked up to the Deku and asked, "Why don't they allow you inside the town?" The Deku than answered, "Simply because were different, or, well, that's just what I think, yeah." The Deku began to drift away into thinking when Stalkid abruptly said, "Hello?" The Deku jumped and laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry! Heh, me and my thinking." It then looked at Stalkid and asked, "What's your name?" Stalkid, clearing his throat and straightening his posture, answered, "My name is Stalkid." He grinned. "And you?"
"My name is Jack." The Deku said, bowing afterwards. Though Stalkid was unsure whether Jack was doing this or not, he seemed to smile. "I really 'am thankful for what you've done for me back there in town." Jack walked a little closer towards Stalkid and said, "To show my thankfulness to you, I will take you to MY village in the swamp where you will always be welcome to visit any time! My sister won't mind if you stay! Heck, no one will mind at all if you stay!" Stalkid peered into the swamp. He thought for a while as he stared. 'I can't say no to him.' He thought. He looked down at Jack. Jack stared back at Stalkid with his forever-remaining sad looking eyes, waiting for a positive answer to come about. 'I can't say no… How could anyone say no to someone or something with such sad looking eyes?' He smiled and said, "Ok, ok. I'll come along with you." Jack jumped up and down with child-like joy and beckoned Stalkid to follow him. "Come on Stalkid! Lets get going!"
As they traveled through the swamp, Stalkid's eyes scanned the area. It wasn't exactly what he had expected to see in a swamp. The swamp was lush and beautiful. It was notably teeming with animal life for that every place that Stalkid had set his eyes on, he would be looking at some kind of creature. He then noticed a structure in the distance. It appeared to be some kind of tower. "Curious about that, huh?" Jack said. Stalkid nodded. "Yeah …. What is that?"
"That's where you can meet the Great Deku Elder. He knows EVERYTHING. You can ask him any question and he'll answer it in a flash!" Stalkid looked at Jack in total disbelief. "Right ….." Jack then retorted, "If ya don't believe me, I'll take you there later on today or tomorrow so you can ask him some questions. He ain't a fake at all! You'll see!" Stalkid rolls his eyes. "Whatever you say…" They continued on without a word. Stalkid was becoming tired for that the walk was longer then expected, though, Jack seemed to still be full of energy and was walking ahead of Stalkid by at least ten feet away.
Suddenly, Jack began to run quickly. Stalkid, who was struggling with sixty pounds of luggage on his back (including his large sword), tries to pick up speed. Holding out his right hand, he wheezed, "Slow down! I can't keep up with ya!" Jack stops and turns around to see Stalkid struggling. "Oops. Sorry!" Jack giggled. When Stalkid had caught up with Jack, Jack then points to a bush and said, "I ran because beyond the shrubbery lies the village itself!" Stalkid dragged his tired feet to the bush and peeked through. "Aw, come on! Walk on!" Jack insisted. Taking his word, Stalkid walked through the thick bush. When he emerged, his mouth hanged open. "Cool view, huh?" Jack said, smiling.
