Link awoke the next day to a very unusual sound, the sound of a Cocco calling in the morning. But Link didn't know this and he jumped up. He found himself in a bed. This bed was different to his own bed, as it was raised up above the floor on legs, unlike his at home witch was a hollowed log. He swung his legs out from the sheets and found he had knocked over his boots by doing so. He jumped off his bed and darted for the window, opening the shutters quickly. The light filled the room quickly and sharply, and he saw something amazing though the window he stood before. He saw the town of Hyrule. Buildings like he had never seen the likes off before, a totaly paved surface around them and, to the most of Link's amazement, a little back from the Market was a castle. Again, Link knew nothing about these structures, for he had lived in a Tree-House for the years before this day, and this was a magical feeling he recived. For once he had found somewhere where no evil seemed to lurk, no dangers seemed to be close and nothing seemed to be a threat.
Well, it was all very well for Link to think this now, but the night he had just slept through had seen the return of his nightmares, and he knew what the nightmares brought. He pulled back his sheets and looked at the bed, realising he had done it again. Link had wet himself through night again, and now in someone elses house. Trojan had helped him last night with Stalfos, and had given Link somewhere to stay and this was how he had repayed him. Link was starting to panic when Navi awoke. She had settled on the desk beside Link's bed that night and now circled around it, trying to wake uo her wings.
"You have a good sleep?" She yawned. Navi did not yet know about Link's nightmares and she saw the stain on the bed. At first she didn't know what to say, but then she decided it was best to help him. Fairys had magic in them. Infact, Fairys could teach unique moves to people, but these were only Great Fairys. Navi was a common Forest Nymph type of Fairy, but she could do a little magic. First of all she made the sheet with the stain dissapear, then she replaced it with a new one. She quickly flew around the edges of the bed, tucking in the lose ends and streightening out the sheet, before flying back to Link's height.
"Whats the deal with that?" She asked, trying not to embarace the poor boy.
"I have nightmares," said he, looking down with as great deal of shame, "Of a wicked man on horse-back chasing a girl and woman before attacking me."
Navi gasped at this, trying not to make it to obvious that she knew something. She covered it up by asking "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, fine, I guess." Link sighed, going back to staring out the window. Trojan walked into the room, obviously he had just woken up as he was rubbing his eyes with his balled fist. Again, he was in full armor, and it seemed like he hadn't got changed. But he had woke up early to change back into uniform, as it was very early. He was suprised to see Link up.
"Wuh? How long have you been up?" He asked dazed.
"Not realy long." Link sighed. "Why?"
"Oh, uh, its pretty early." Trojan muttered.
"I normaly wake up early." Said Link, eyes still outside. "When you live in the forest, you wake up when the birds start to chirp and when the wolves stop their howling."
"So your from the forest?" Trojan asked curiously.
"Yeah, The Kokiri Forest." Link replied, looking at Trojan now. He decided on how much he would tell Trojan. The Deku Tree, Link's mission and Kaepora Gaebora would not be told.
Kaepora! Link suddenly remembered why he was in Hyrule Town now. But thinking about this would distract Link from Trojan's questions so he pushed this back into his memory.
"Are there others like you?" The man asked, lifting up his spear.
"Yes." Link replied. "Around 15 others. They wont leave."
Once Link said this, he realised how stupid he had been. He shouldn't have mentioned the last point.
"Oh? Why's that?" Trojan asked. Link began to sweat.
"Uh.... because there afraid they might die if they leave the forest." Link hurried, hoping there will be no follow-up questions.
"Well," Trojan laughed, "I guesd you showed them, Kid!" Link was lucky this time. He had allready explained to Trojan about Navi last night, so Trojan wasn't bothered by her flying around his head. "Hey, do you want me to show you around Hyrule Market?" He asked finaly.
"Yeah, sure!" Link shouted happily. He realy wanted to see what Hyrule Market had in store and his new freind was going to show him it, which exited him. He slipped on his hat and happily jogged downstairs and he and Trojan left the nice little house.
Trojan was a guard for the Hylian royal family, who will come into this story later. He served in first-line defence so he had to be strong. And strong he was! Trojan was freindly if a little stupid at times, but he was only acting. Trojan seemed well respected among Hylians all over the town, even though few were around.
Link called the time "The moon's Mid-day" or "Past Sunrise hour", where as Trojan called it simply "5 'O clock". Stalls were being set up all around town and every person with a stall happy to see Trojan, and every person who had a stall curious about Trojan's freind.
"Who is he? Where did he come from? What's he wearing? Whats that sheild?" Were many of the questions asked, and Trojan would simply reply "Peace! Leave to boy to himself!"
Link himself was looking around at the many landmarks he could see but had never seen and the many words he could read but had never read. "Bombchu Bowling" one sign read, while another had "Shooting Game", all in bold letters and in furious colors. Trojan was telling him what some of the shops were and the items they had inside. It was one shop which Link was giving all his atention too.
"This here is the candy store, kid!" Trojan smiled as the brown haired owner wandered out to meet him.
"Hello there, Trojan! How's life treating you?" The man asked from under his bushy mustash.
"Perfectly well, Mr. Mosspea. And how's life with yourself."
"A bit of trouble recently." Mosspea answered, spotting Link. "My! Who's this cute fella?"
"This is Link. I helped him out last night." Trojan answered. Link, meenwhile wasn't paying attention.
"Wow! Whats that?" Link asked Navi, staring into the candy store window.
"I dont know." She answered, before Link quickly jumped in.
"And that?"
"Do-"
"And whats that there?" He asked again. Mr. Mosspea laughed.
"Cute! Little kid got a pet butterfly!"
"I'm getting sick of people calling me a butterfly..." Navi muttered.
"Tell ya what, kiddo. I'll let you have some candy to try, on the house." Mosspea kindly offered.
"Wow! Thanks! I've never tasted candy before!" Shouted Link with glee.
"Hehe! It's like nothing you've ever tasted before!" Mosspea said, retiring to his shop again. You'll love it!"
Link, Navi or Trojan didn't hear what Mosspea said next.
"...I hope..."
The candy Mr. Mosspea brought out was a sight Link could have never imagined! Blue candy, red candy, yellow candy, multi-colored candy, it was all there for Link to try. Link's jaw dropped and his mouth watered. There it was, the sweetest thing on earth, and all for him. He quickly grabbed almost all the plate and shoved it into his mouth. The candy was more than tastey, more than sweet, it was...
Disgusting.
Link splurted, spitting all the candy out. Trojan looked confused and bit into one of the few left over. It was very bad, and not sweet at all. Link wiped his mouth.
"You were right..." Link muttered. "It was like nothing I have tasted before, or want to taste again."
"Whats up with this, Mr. Mosspea? Your candy normaly tastes realy good."
"It isn't my fault." Mosspea sighed. "It's those Gorons."
"Gorons?" Link asked.
"There freindly, happy-go-lucky creatures that live on Death Mountain." Replied Trojan. "What are they doing?"
"At nightfall they wander down and steal barrals of sugar from my store." Mosspea told, very unhappy. "Tonight it'll be the last barrel I have, and I don't think they can grow it much faster down at the LonLon Ranch."
"This isn't like the Goron's at all." Trojan said, in deep thought. "They normaly keep themselfs to themselfs and hardly ever come to the market, let alone steal!"
"I should like to see a Goron." Navi said, causing Mr. Mosspea, Trojan and Link to look round. She was hinting someting to Link. "Don't they have something in their possetion?"
"They have the Spiritual Stone of fire, if thats what you meen." Trojan replyed.
"Spiritual Stone?" Link asked.
"The Spiritual Stones are the key to the Temple of Time, the only way to travel through time in Hyrule. There a three, one is being held in the forests, one by the Gorons and one by the Zora's. When the chosen one recives the three stones, he or she will open the gates of time and enter the realm of the Holy Triforce. The stones have been hidden and protected after the Great War, and shall not be given to anyone apart from the chosen one. An Ocarina will be played once the three stones gathered, and the doors will open."
"I have an Ocarina." Said Link. He had been practicing songs and was quite a good player now.
"Lets hear it, kid!" Trojan laughed. Link smiled and pulled out the brown Ocarina, put it to his mouth and played. Trojan and Mosspea's jaws dropped and both bowed, causing Link to stop in confusion, and they both bowed low.
"What?" He asked. "Is my playing that bad?"
"No." Trojan replied. "It is the song of the fair Princess Zelda, her lullabye."
"But..." Link stuttered. "Its the song my mother sung to me when she left me at the time of the war..."
Well, it was all very well for Link to think this now, but the night he had just slept through had seen the return of his nightmares, and he knew what the nightmares brought. He pulled back his sheets and looked at the bed, realising he had done it again. Link had wet himself through night again, and now in someone elses house.
