'Dokoru…
…Come back to me…
…it's been so long…'
Cerena ran through the forest as fast as she could, the darkness of night closing in on her.
'I know you're here…'
Seeing glimpses of a small figure before her, she didn't care where she went…
…as long as it took her to him.
"Dokoru!!"
She cried out his name when she saw him fully, in the waning light.
He stopped momentarily, the little skull kid in shaggy red and yellow clothing. Two
lights bobbed around his shoulders.
"Wait! Come back!" She called after him as he began running away again. Following
him wasn't the easiest. She couldn't see him that well in the approaching night.
'Wait! I want to see you again! I don't care…
…If you aren't perfect…
…just tell me you still care…'
Tears kept finding their way down her face as she ran. The blood on her arms had quit
flowing, but she had dark red trails all over her arms and spots on her dress and face.
She didn't know how long this chase would go on.
But she knew she had to see him one more time.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
"CRAZY BAKA!!!" Link said, stomping around the rooms in the tree. "JUMPING OUT
OF A WINDOW TWO STORIES OFF OF THE GROUND?!?! NUTS, I TELL YOU,
SHE'S NUTS!!" He howled, very unsettled.
Saria and her fairy kept running after him, trying to apply bandages and ointment to his
arms. Zelda was out like a light by this time, the effects of the wine taking their toll.
"LINK! Hold still! I can't help you if you keep running around like a mad Goron!!" Saria
finally said, out of breath from keeping up with the angry Hero of Time.
"Pwease?" The tiny voice of Saria's fairy pleaded. Spryte had been in a bottle sleeping
until now. Link looked at the little golden ball of light and sighed.
"Okay. Since you asked so nicely." Link sat down and let them put bandages on him
without protest. The reason he had been so nice to fairies lately was because he hadn't
seen Navi again. And every time he saw one, he always thought of her.
"These are some deep scratches. It always makes me wonder who this 'Dokoru' is. She's
mentioned him a couple of times, but Cerena has always kept her past a secret." Saria
commented, looking at one of the scratches on his arm. Spryte merrily sprinkled a little
fairy dust on the scratches, to make them heal faster.
"They might leave scars." Link said, getting angry again.
"No, I don't think so. They aren't that deep. You'll get better." Saria said, with a sigh.
Nothing was going too well today.
"When do you think Zelda will wake up?" Link asked, addressing an entirely different
subject.
"I think she'll be better off if she got some sleep. She won't have as bad a headache if she
slept till morning." Saria said, finishing the last bandage.
"Meanwhile, I wonder what happened to that girl?" Link moved his arms. The white
bandages weren't in the way at all. He could probably handle a sword pretty well with
them.
"I don't know. Tomorrow you can go look around for her. I'll take care of Zelda. She'll
have a massive headache from the effects of that wine. I couldn't find my hangover
potion." Saria said as she held out her hand and Spryte sat in it.
"You actually have a potion for THAT?" Link was surprised.
"Well yes, considering the stupid drunks that wander into the forest. It clears their minds
so that they can get out without becoming a StalChild."
"I see."
"All we can do is wait, Link. Let's get some sleep. I'll make up a bed for you in the room
with Zelda. If anything goes wrong, you can call me." Saria and Spryte left the room to
get bedding.
"I hope you're right, Saria."
.oO~*-*~Oo.
"A Mikko no Din? She was a priestess for Din?" Roth asked, getting excited. He didn't
know much about Seijin, and this was a way to know more about this mysterious boy.
"Yes. I remember she had to go to a temple in the mountains to serve her duties and
perform rituals to please Din. Then she died." Seijin said, sitting next to the girl again,
watching her face.
"Did you ever go with her?" I Onbin asked, very curious.
"No. I never was allowed to. But I always watched her put on the robes before she left.
They were beautiful. Red and gold." Seijin smiled as he remember this.
"Since the priestess died, that's why the volcano has been at unrest for these past years.
No mikko has been going to please the Goddess." Roth said, rubbing the white orb on his
staff, thinking as he did so.
"If there's a Mikko no Din, then that means there's also a Mikko no Farore and a Mikko
no Nayru." Nabooru pointed out.
"Right. My mother often mentioned other priestesses." Seijin said, turning to Roth. "I
don't know if they are still alive."
"I don't think so." I Onbin said. They all looked at her.
"The priestesses would be pleasing Nayru and Farore and there would be some peace
even though Din would be jealous and wrathful." I Onbin continued.
"Then that would be the reason the forests are infested with monsters and curses and
waters are turbulent and dangerous." Roth said, looking deep into the white orb of his
staff. He looked very perplexed.
"I wonder who these mikkos were?" Seijin asked himself.
"I do too. It would answer a lot of questions." Roth agreed.
"Night is falling. We must get some rest." I Onbin said with a yawn.
"I have rooms for you. Follow me." Nabooru said, getting up and stretching. 'I feel like I
haven't moved in hours! All this serious stuff is making me have a headache. I could use
some sleep.'
"I'm staying here. With her." Seijin said, stubbornly.
"That is fine. I can take another room and you can have this bed." I Onbin pointed to a
cot next to the one where the stranger girl lay.
"Are you sure you want to stay?" Roth asked, lifting his eyebrows in puzzlement.
"Yes. Good Night." Seijin began taking off the cloak he wore around his shoulders. Roth
sighed and he and the two women left the room
"I hope you wake up soon." Seijin said softly to the girl on the cot. "It's making me
impatient. You might have the key to stop this rebellion of Gannondorf's followers."
Seijin lay down on the cot and fell instantly to sleep, weary with the day's events.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
"Dokoru?" Cerena was now deep into the forest, a place she had never been. Right about
now, she wished she had a fairy for it would have provided light, no matter how annoying
it might have been.
Pushing her way thought a few tall bushes, she came upon a beautiful sight.
In the moonlight, there was a pond, with a waterfall, deep in the forest, probably unseen
before by Hylian eyes.
"What is this place?" Cerena asked herself in a whisper. She was in awe from the beauty
of the scene.
"What are you doing here?" A rough voice asked. It was small, as if belonging to
someone short, but it was a rough voice.
"Dokoru?" She asked, feeling breathless. She was going to see him!
"Dokoru is no longer. I am what is left."
"DOKORU!" Cerena cried, looking around for him. She could barely make out two
glowing orbs on top of the rocks that formed the waterfall.
"Stay away!"
"No! You don't know how long I've waited!" Cerena said, crying again. She began
running to the rocks.
"You don't understand! Nothing can change the way I am now!" A figure cried from the
top of the rocks. It was the Skull Kid.
"I don't care! You'll always be the most important thing in my life!" She climbed nimbly
up the rocks, her anxiety and relief at seeing him again urging her on, even though she
was fatigued from running after him for hours.
"You can't care for me!" The Skull Kid protested, the two fairies bobbling around him,
not letting him run away.
"But I do!" Cerena reached the top of the rocks. She was only a few feet away from him
now.
Skull Kid stared at her. Nothing to him had been more beautiful. Seeing the pretty Hylian
maiden standing before him, the light from the moon, stars, and his fairies lighting up her
face and hair.
"How?" He asked, his voice trembling slightly. "I broke my promise to you."
"I don't care! I don't care what happened! You could have come back!!"
"You would have hated me."
"No! I don't hate you."
"I am now ugly! I am a completely different being!"
"I told you I don't care!" Cerena's voice rang through the night. "The only thing I care
about is you. I know you're still the same person underneath even if you don't look the
same. The Dokoru I knew cared for me!"
"I do care! But the things I've done-"
"Dokoru! I love you! Aren't you listening to me?!" Cerena said vehemenently. The Skull
Kid stopped his protesting and hung his head.
"Cerena…" He said softly. The two fairies looked on in anxiousness.
"Dokoru…" Cerena stepped forward and bent down, bringing him into her arms.
Silently, the Skull Kid put his arms around her and held her tight.
"Tael! Look!" The golden white exclaimed, pointing to the two holding onto each other.
"The white rose!! Tatl! What's happening!?" Tael shouted.
The white rose that the Skull Kid had worn for all this time began glowing. Cerena
gasped and backed away from him.
"Dokoru? What is it?" Cerena cried, watching as the light engulfed the small figure.
Seconds later, the white light vanished and a much larger figure fell to the ground.
"SKULL KID!" Both fairies cried at the same time, zipping over to the fallen form.
"Dokoru…" Cerena knelt next to the form. He wore the same clothes as the Skull Kid
had, but he was much taller, and a human. His violet hair fell profusely around him, not
tied back in his usual ponytail.
Cerena began crying happily. The curse had been broken.
.oO~*-*~Oo.
In the adobe room, a male figure lifted his shining silver scimitar over the figure of the
girl on the cot. Moonlight gleaming on the curved blade and on his white hair, he swung
the sword down.
"I can't wait for this. It's just too much- I don't want you in pain anymore!"
A white light filled the room.
