Author's Note: Geh, okay, its finnaly ready. Chapter 2, Innocence of his Dreams. Why him? You will see. In the meantime, I'll go stretch out and take my mind of AITP. ;) Later!
Chapter 2:: Innocence of his Dreams
The cool breeze swept through the grass gently. Dawn was not far off, and Emowhen stood before the land she had been introduced to but a few moments ago. Hearing the strange low noise of lava boiling didn't bother her, as the portal disappeared from behind. She knelt down on the cool, lush green colored grass, and dew soaked her white pants. Shivering, she rubbed her misty blue eyes, and yawned sleepily.
"I haven't slept in… what seems like days," she mumbled to herself. Standing up, she stared at the land. The grass was tall in different areas, obviously because of cattle herds. The land seemed mostly empty, except for a lake she spotted to the west, and a town a good distance off. Like Hyrule, it was secluded from the world with mountains. Emowhen couldn't tell if there were any cut offs, such as Zora's River or the Kokeri Forest, like back home. "Well, I," she hesitated again. Which direction to follow? This way, or that way? What was she to do…the world was so empty, and had almost no signs of people or any type of disorder. Of course, whichever way you looked at it Obeas was expecting a lot of her. Figure out how to save it? She wasn't prepared…what was she supposed to kill monsters with? Her HANDS!?
"I wish the old Tatl was here." She muttered. The old Tatl was a fairy of sarcastic attitudes, not the one who'd been beaten into the ground by nasty old Navi. She then began walking, wondering if there were any people to talk to. She wondered why she'd asked so silly, hearing that she was the 'holder of patience'… it was hard to believe, yes, but nothing to get over-excited about. She wondered what her mother and father were up to. She also prayed for a pony from Malon! She could have gotten it if she hadn't ventured to far. It was to be born today…she would have taken care of it and never set foot in the forest. 'Why am I feeling so much regret?'
Suddenly she heard a voice. She wasn't expecting someone's voice, so it startled her. She spun around, fists ready. There stood a boy, red hair and freckles, green eyes soft. He was wearing a blue tunic, normal clothing for boys.
"Who are you?" He asked meekly. Emowhen stared at him, astonished, but answered quickly.
"I could ask you the same question." She smirked, gaining back her ornery attitude. The boy's lips shivered, he looked at her nervously. Emowhen sighed, turning to walk away. The boy hesitated.
"My name is Tneconni."
Emowhen grinned, eyes glittering. "Good, Tenoci-how you pronounce it? - Oh I'm being rude…" she frowned. "The name is Emowhen.
"So where am I?" Tneconni pointed to a sign.
Retawa Falls
"Retawa Falls. Its my secret place…" He blushed madly.
"Ah…well, anything special about it?" Tneconni nodded.
"Do you know what a Zora's Deity is?" He asked.
"Sure," Emowhen laughed.
"This is where they…come." He said, glancing over at a mile long river (looking like a little dot to them) coming from the east.
"Ah! You mean the Whales, Jabu-Jabu?" She exclaimed, her memory bolted.
"Of course Chick."
"CHICK?" Emowhen exclaimed.
"Sorry, I like to make up nicknames…Let me explain this one," he said, going red in the face.
"Just don't," Emowhen grumbled. "My dad used to call me that. He explained the 'hen' part in my name was why he called me Chick because hen is a baby of a hen…."
"Sorry…"
"So…Jabu-Jabu can travel from-"
"Yup. Hyrule, Lybrannia, Holdrum, Termina, everywhere."
"Ah-my dad's been to all those lands." Emowhen said, thinking of Nayru, Din, the Maku Trees, (even though she had only heard of them in stories). She almost laughed.
"Yeah, right, ch-Emo," he snickered. "You'd have to be Link's daughter. Zelda and Link did marry, but after that, no news. Some say it's because of Biggoran Tanek who moved in to the east, he blocks the whole path. The only path to the rest of the world." Emowhen felt angry, but almost laughed and screamed at the same time.
"Well…I am." She choked, holding back emotions.
"Won't believe it 'till I see it," He sang.
Emowhen grumbled, reaching into her pocket and pulling out an heirloom her mother had entrusted her with. She smiled as the legendary (and ancient) Ocarina of Time sat...in her sweaty palms.
"There, proof. Mom gave it to me this morning." Tneconni wasn't listening, he was watching the lake. Emowhen rolled her eyes, stuffing the battered instrument back into her pocket. "Tneconni!"
"WHAT?" He shouted, turning around. "Oh, uh...lets go swimming."
"Huh?" Emowhen muttered.
"I found it," he said.
"Found what?" She asked.
"At the lake..."
Just as Emowhen comprehended his words, a small white, floating ball of light with wings appeared.
"Tatl?" Emowhen sputtered at it.
"NO! You kids have got 'ta leave." It said.
Tneconni turned to glare at it, "Why?" he demanded. The fairy hesitated.
"'Cause, Tneconni, its not safe. The temple is for worshiping, the dying and newborn whales-not for exploring."
"Aw, Sadi. Can we please?" Tneconni said, the fairy had obviously belonged to him, and had staked its point.
"There are monsters, they would 'cease to exist if the spirit of the king of evil did not loom." Sadi explained. Emowhen thought she had heard that term used somewhere before. She turned to a side, facing both of them.
"We could-If we had the proper equipment." She told Tneconni. He smiled.
"Yes...but where do we find swords and shields? More or less, two pairs?" The white fairy, Sadi, rose to look around. He felt someone watching. Emowhen notices.
"What's wrong with him?" Emowhen poked Tneconni in the ribs to get his attention. He gazed up,
"Sadi?" he asked. The fairy apologized but did not move.
"Uh-I'm going to check on Faye, I'll be back later. DON'T GO IN THAT TEMPLE!" With that he zoomed away. Tneconni looked annoyed,
'He just went to see her 10 minuets ago. Poor Faye, probably feels like her privacy is invaded by my fairy everyday.' He muttered under his breath.
"Come on, now is are chance Emo-"
"Yeah, we can probably find good weapons in the Zora's Keep." Tneconni looked amazed.
"You know about the zora's? Never mind, yeah we should be able to."
'This kid is so weird, she thinks she's a princess, and knows about the zora's, and even claims she hails from Hyrule.'
"Well-Zora's aren't that secret to you? Kalith-my zora buddy-is waiting. Lets go."
With that they set off, creeping along silently.

Tidbits:
I started this in June, and now its January, and I'm only on the second chapter. I revise, I tell you, this thing must have took me forever.
