Chapter 10



Link got on Epona and went around Hyrule. He waited for Poes to come out so that he can catch some. "That's weird," he said to himself as he shot a Poe, "the future doesn't change after all. I have to get Spiritual Stones once again. Maybe later on, I'll have to get the medallions. But I wonder how that'll be. I thought that I could live in the past and have a normal life. But things are happening all over again." Link jumped off Epona and took out a bottle. He went up to the Poe (that is now is yellow fire) and swiped it with his bottle. He closed the bottle with a cork and lefted.

"Does everything have to happen to me? Well, atleast I can see my life now," he said to himself as he rode on Epona. When he got back to Kikiri Forest, he got off Epona and went inside. In front of the houses, he saw Mido working out. He was saying to himself, "I know that I can get rid of Link. I've always hated him anyway. He always thought that he was better then me and that he can take over my space!" Link went up to Mido and said, "Mido, you think that I'm taking over your space?" Mido looked up and didn't say anything. Then he turned around and ran away. Link over heard him saying, "Punk! I know one day I'll get you!" "What's the problem with Mido? First he criticizes people, then he bosses people, and now he's hurting people? What's next? Taking over Kikiri Forest?" he said to himself.

Link climbed up his tree house and got inside. He took a blanket and set it on the floor. Then he lay down and looked up. For a while, he thought about that happened today. After a few minutes, he fell asleep.

(One month later) In the morning, Zelda woke up first. "(Yawn) What a nice rest. Hey, Link's here." Zelda moved her body so that she can look at Link. She gazed at him for a long time. "Link," she said to herself. She got up and sat on the ground where Link was sleeping. "Link, I don't know why your always in my mind. It's like I've known you for a long time. 7 years is pretty long." She set her hand on Link's forehead and smiled. "I hope I don't loose you." Zelda got up and walked outside.

All of a sudden, Zelda heard screaming outside. She ran outside and gasped, "Oh my gosh! It's a fire!" Zelda looked around and saw Saria. Saria was yelling out loud, "Come on everybody! Quickly run up the hill! We need to get to safety!" Zelda ran into the house and woke up Link. "Link! Wake up! There's fire outside! You need to stop it before it reaches the Lost Woods!" Link woke up and said, "What! There's fire!" Link ran outside. He saw fire coming up his house. He jumped out of it and took out his ice arrow. But before he could shoot, he felt fire behind him. "Ah! I need to get on higher ground to shoot my Ice Arrow!" Zelda jumped down and said, "I'll run up the hill Link. Please be careful!" "Don't worry Zelda, this'll be easy. His Kikiri Tunic flashed into his Fire resistant Tunic. He quickly ran past the fires and ran to the side of the Kikiri Shop. "There it is!" he said to himself. He jumped on the plant that's able to let him fly around. "That was safe. (Gasp) Mido!" Link saw Mido trying to go past the fire. "I can get through this myself! I don't need anyone's help! (Pants)" Link flew towards him and took out his hand, "Mido, come with me! I can take you out of the fires." Mido looked up at Link and yelled, "No way! I can do this on my own!" Link glared at Mido. Mido glared back, but he got unconscious from the gas of the fire and fell on the ground. Link picked him up and flew to the hill. He jumped off the flying plant and set Mido on the ground. Then he jumped back on and flew around the place shooting Ice Arrows.

After a while, the ice melted and the place was back to normal. The Deku Sprout was able to make the forest grow faster so that the burned parts of the forest can come off. Link jumped off the plant and went up to Mido. When Mido woke up, he said, "Hey! I could've gotten out myself! Why did you do that! I was about to reach the Lost Woods! I told you to leave me alone. I told you that I could do things myself. Just because you're a lot bigger than I am doesn't mean you can take over! (Humph)" Everyone went down and hill and back into their houses besides Mido. Zelda climbed down with Saria. Before Link was able to climb down the vines, Mido said, "Uh, Link, I guess I owe you my life for saving me. Thanks." Link smiled. Mido got upset and said, "But don't think I'll change just because of that! (Humph)" Mido folded his arms and climbed down the vines first.

Link jumped down the hill and rolled down the bottom. He went to the Deku Sprout and spoke to him again. "So what your telling me is that he never got the Spiritual Stones yet?" "Nope, not yet. Before the Great Deku Tree died, he gave me the Spiritual Stone telling me that one day, someone will want it. He told me to give it to only someone that I can trust in keeping it." Link nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to leave the Forest now. I'll come back some other time to talk to you again. So long great Deku Sprout." Link walked out and went to his house.

In the Lost Woods, Mido was talking to someone in a shadowy corner. "Mido, I need you to help me. There's someone here that I want." Mido asked, "Who is it?" The shadowy person said, "Link." "Alright, what should I do?" asked Mido.

Zelda was in Saria's house with Saria. The two of them were talking to each other about their lives. While that happened, Mido came running out of the Lost Woods. He went around the tree houses until he saw Zelda. When he thought that Zelda wasn't going anywhere, he ran to Link's tree house. "Link! I need you to come with me. Zelda wants to talk to you in the Lost Woods about something," said Mido. Link said, "Alright." Link set his shield and sword aside and followed Mido. Mido turned around and smiled evilly.

He led Link into the Lost Woods and went to the place where Stalkid would play his Flute on a stump. This time, Stalkid wasn't there. "Where's Stalkid?" asked Link. Mido said, "He went with his other friends. Come on, I got to show you something." Mido walked through the tunnel. "Hey, I thought that Zelda would be here." Mido folded his arms and didn't say anything. All of a sudden, something hit Link on the head. He fell to the ground unconscious. "Good work Mido, now I shall take him with me." Mido looked down at Link and said in his mind, 'Sorry Link, I had no choice. You were taking over my space.' He frowned and said, "What are you going to do with him?" "You said you wanted to take him away, that's what I'm going to do with him. I might even be kind enough to kill him for you." "Kill him! You can't do that! I just wanted him to stay away!" "Well too bad boy! I already have him! What are you going to do about it?" yelled Crenimus. Mido didn't know what to say and sighed. "Just as I thought, you're just a little Kikiri who will always stay a Kikiri. So long, I thank you for lending Link." Crenimus walks up to a flying plant and flies to the exit of Kikiri Forest. "Great, now Link is gone. I'm happy, not. If anyone knows about this, I'll be in really big trouble!" he said to himself.

In Link's tree house, Zelda was looking at Link's achievement's paper on the wall. "Wow, he made 2,000 points for archery, caught a 30 pound fish, got 47 seconds in a horse race, and got 30 seconds racing with a running man. How impressive. Hmm, what if I put down the first girl he married? No way! Haha." Zelda climbed out of the tree house and called out for Link. "Link!" there was no answer. "Huh? That's a bit odd. Hey Saria!" said Zelda. Saria came running towards Zelda. "What is it Zelda?" asked Saria. "Do you know where Link is?" she asked. Saria said, "Not since Mido led him into the Lost Woods did I see him." "Ok, thanks," said Zelda. Ran up the hill and went into the Lost Woods.

"Uh-oh, I don't know where to go," she said. "I can help you." Zelda gasped and turned around. "Who are you?" she asked. "My name is Navi, I'm Link's guardian fairy," it said. Zelda said, "If you're his guardian fairy, then why weren't you with him when he was missing?" "I know where he is, well, actually, I've been watching him and Mido. Someone took Link away." "Well why didn't you go after him!" yelled Zelda. Navi said, "Someone had to stay here to wait for you to come. I didn't want to get you because I'm watching Mido. He's been acting kind of sad ever since he did that." Zelda got upset and went towards Mido. She grabbed him on his shirt with a hard tug. Mido grunted and said, "Hey, what's your problem lady?" Zelda said, "For your information! My name is Princess Zelda! What did you do with Link!" "Uh nothing your highness," lied Mido. "TELL ME WHAT YOU DID WITH HIM!" she yelled. Mido panicked and spoke very quickly, "I gave him to this guy and he took him away. I thought that he could just keep Link away from here, but I think he might kill him." "Who was this guy?" she asked. "I don't know, he never told me his name. But he was wearing a black hood." "That's like the guy I saw when I was at Lake Hylia!" Zelda threw Mido on the ground and ran to the flying plant. She jumped on it and went to the exit. "Where are we going Zelda?" asked Navi. Zelda said, "I'm going to go to the castle. I think I know who that hooded man is." "Who?" "Crenimus." Zelda ran outside and looked for Epona. "Oh, how are we going to get there? I don't even know how to get Epona! I know!" Zelda disguised herself as Shannon. "Navi, go in my pocket. I'm going to use my Telenut to teleport to the castle." Nave flew into her pocket. Shannon took out a Telenut and slammed it on the ground.

When Navi flew out of the pocket, they were in front of the castle. "Hey, when I was in the future with Link, you disguised yourself as Shannon, too." "Some coincidence. Ok, we have to go inside and find Link."

Crenimus brought Link to the King. "Your sire, I have brought the thief that has taken your daughter for the last 7 years." Crenimus kicked behind Link's knees that made Link kneel down. "This boy was the one who took my daughter? Why, he's just a kid," said the King. "Or highness-" Link felt a kick behind his legs again and overheard Crenimus saying, "Quiet fool." "Tell me young man, what is your name?" "Link," he said. The King said, "Link? The legendary boy who saved Hyrule? Could this be it Crenimus?" Crenimus said, "Yes your sire, this is the legendary boy." The King got up and said, "I thought that legend wasn't real at all. Why didn't you tell me Crenimus?" Crenimus said, "Your highness, I didn't know myself until I found out about his name. But don't forget, he did take your daughter." "Yes," said the King, "And so he did. Now Link, tell me where is my daughter?" Link quietly said, "I can't tell you. It's up to her to let you know." The King said, "Crenimus, take him to the boiling room." "At once your sire. And Link, don't even think I'll let you go this time." "I spared you once, and this is my thanks? A trip to the boiling room?" Link said madly. Crenimus laughed evilly and brought him to the boiling room. Link looked up and saw that the place was really hot. He also saw other people down here working and getting whipped at the same time.

"What is this place?" asked Link. "I like to call this the torture room. But the King prefers the boiling room." Crenimus took out a whip and whipped Link on the back. "Now get to work! I want all of those crates piled up!" Crenimus whipped him again. Link felt his back hurt and moaned.

"Zel- I mean Shannon, where will we find Link?" said Navi. "Well, we've looked everywhere but, the boiling room!" Shannon ran to the staircase that went to the boiling room. "What's a boiling room?" Navi asked. Shannon said, "It's where the King puts slaves to work in the heat and get whipped, too. Oh Link please be ok!"

While Link was lifting up heavy crates, Crenimus was whipping him. "Keep on going! I've seen faster men do this!" "How do people work like this?" said Link to himself, "I don't think I can take any more." Link's back was burning and blood was dripping down his back. He finally gave up and fell to the ground. "Get up you fool! You've got work to do.

Shannon ran to the boiling room and opened the door. Navi and Shannon saw Crenimus whipping Link. "No! Stop that!" she cried out. Shannon ran up to Crenimus and punched him so hard, that it made him fly across the room. "Stay away from Link fagget!" She ran up to Link and picked him up from the ground. "Are you ok Link?" she asked. Shannon turned to his back and saw that it was bleeding. "Oh no! Navi, you need to heal him!" she said. "Alright," said Navi. She flew on top of Link and said, "Don't worry Link, it'll be alright." "Not quite yet!" yelled Crenimus. He took out his sword and went for Shannon. Shannon jumped in the air and kicked Crenimus's sword off his hand. "What's going on down here!"

It was the King and Renimus. "Crenimus, what's going on!" Crenimus said, "Our highness! Glad you made it here! Shannon stopped me from Link's work!" "Who is this Shannon?" the King asked. Crenimus pointed to her. "You're Shannon? I've never heard of you. What are you doing here young lady." "I'm here to get Link! You can't do this to him! What has he ever done to you!" The King said, "He took my daughter!" Shannon stood up. "No he didn't! She ran away herself!" "What?" the King said. "All of you might be wondering why Zelda been missing ever since I came here. Well, that's because I'm her!" Everyone gasped with surprise. Shannon took out a Flash Nut and slammed it on the ground. Everyone closed their eyes. When all of them looked up, they saw Zelda. "Father, I hate to live in the castle! The only reason I left was because of Crenimus! He's been trying to kill me! And you didn't even care! You thought that you can trust Crenimus to get Link when he's actually that one who's after me!"

"Such nonsense!" yelled Crenimus, "Your highness, I would never hurt your daughter. I'm only trying to protect her from this boy." "Link never did anything to anyone!" Zelda yelled. The King said, "I'm a bit confused. Zelda, please come back. I promise things will be different." "Things will only be different if you get rid of Crenimus and his brother!" she yelled. "Zelda! I'm doing this for your own good! If your mother was here, then she'd know what to do!" yelled the King. "Well," Zelda said, "She's not here now is she! Father your messing with the wrong guy! Why is it so hard for you to understand!" "I know what I should or should not understand, but Zelda, all I want is for you to come back to the castle and we'll handle with Link." "No!" Zelda disguised herself as Shannon. She picked up Link and Navi flew into her pocket. Then she took out a Telenut and slammed it on the ground. "No! We mustn't loose her!" Crenimus yelled. He ran for Shannon, but she was already gone.

"Crenimus! I want my daughter back and away from that boy! He's caused too mush trouble long enough! Call your guards and search everywhere for her! Now!" the King yelled. Crenimus said, "At once sire."
