The Deku Tree Sprout
"…..Link!…..wake up…hey mister, c'mon…wake up…." a soft voice whispered through the air. The night was so calm, it almost seemed as if you could hear the people all the way in Kakariko Village snore. The floor creaked as the person snuck across the tree house to Link's bed.
"LINK!!!!!!" yelled Mido while shaking Link after failed attempts at quietly waking him up. Link didn't budge. He didn't flinch. He just laid there in his deep trance of sleep. Then all of the sudden, Link's eyes flew open, and he swung his arms up clutching the collar of Mido's tunic, and spun around to throw him on the ground and rolled out of bed on top of him. Mido, stunned, stared into Link's eyes which looked filled with the fire's of hell.
"Ih……ih….it's me, Mido!" yelled a very, very startled Mido. Link then shook his head as if he was coming out of his sleeping trance. Link looked around, realizing what must have happened by the look on Mido's face and his crumpled up tunic, and got up on the bed. Link then sat there as he was waking up and looked around as Mido pulled up a chair next to Link's bed.
"My apologies dear friend. I didn't mean you any harm." said a guilty looking Link.
"I…its ok, Link. I'm fine now. Just startled me a little is all."
"Startled you? You come over here shaking me and screaming at this hour of night, and you are the startled one? What in the hell are you doing here this late anyways."
"I came to tell you that the Deku Sprout needed to speak with you. He told me to come get you as soon as I could."
"Any idea what this is about?"
"No, but everything the Deku Tree family tells me, I don't want to hear. It always ends up in chaos and havoc. I think I'm better off not knowing."
"Alright. Well, wait out side while I dress and get together some things, should take no more than ten minutes."
"Okie dokie!"
Link went over to his dresser and pulled out his tunic and put it on. He then put on his boots, gauntlets, quiver, bomb bag, and of coarse, his magic sack which Link would never in a million years be able to carry all of his weaponry and utilities without. He then latched his shield onto his back. As he picked up the Master Sword, he stopped and held the legendary blade up into the moonlight and looked at his reflection in the cold steel. He was now ready for anything the Deku Sprout could tell him.
Link walked out onto his porch and then proceeded to climb down the ladder to the ground. He and Mido glanced at each other for a second, then both nodded there heads as if saying "I'm ready, lets go". Mido and Link didn't talk much while they were walking, but Link looked at the sky a lot. He was looking at the clouds. Usually they are bright, white and soft like cucco feathers, but tonight they where a shade of light gray with streaks of black running through them. The sky looked like a giant, beautiful oil painting.
As they approached the end of the short winding tunnel leading to the Deku Sprout, Link could see him in the distance. When you are near the Deku Sprout, you feel a certain energy and happiness and it just brings the best out of you. It is a wonderful experience. Though the Deku Sprout isn't that old, the seeds of knowledge and of time were passed down by his father. He is just as wise, if not wiser than the tree before him. He was quickly taken in and respected by the Kokiri following the fall of Ganondorf. Now they treat him like a father.
"Well, I'm going to head on back, Link. Take care. Ohhhh, and if you do wind up having to go somewhere and doing something crazy, please be careful. I wouldn't know what to tell Saria if you were to harm yourself." said a sarcastic Mido.
Mido and Link had became good friends, but Mido was still a tad jealous on Saria's crush on Link
"I don't know how to take that, but thank you anyways. I'll be alright, you know me."
"Exactly! Later mister…"
"See ya"
Link then turned as Mido ran off, and he started walking towards the Deku Sprout. As Link approached, he noticed a instigating smirk on the face of the Deku Sprout. He looked as if he knew something that would embarrass Link. Deep down Link wanted to just get it over with, but instead just came closer, and casually and calmly spoke to the tree.
"Hello great one, you called for me!?"
"Ahahaha, you should have seen the look on your face. You looked as if you wanted to turn around and run. Anyways, you probably came here expecting me to tell you Hyrule was about to be attacked, but you can relax. I just received this letter from Princess Zelda that said urgent on it, so I thought I should get it to you as soon as possible."
The Deku Sprout then shook his branches and the letter came floating down, like a leaf falling to the ground, swaying back and forth and turning around and around. Link then jumped up and caught it as it came closer. He then opened it, then read:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Link,
Meet me in Lake Hylia, by the tree in the middle of the lake, on the island. I have to tell you of an occurrence that happened earlier at the castle gates. Sorry for wanting to meet you so late, but the guards would never have let me out this late, so I had to sneak out. Please be there as soon as you can, I will be waiting.
Always,
Princess Zelda
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
"I think you know what you must do. Go now to see the Princess, for my senses are telling me this could be something of great importance." advised the Deku Sprout.
"Yes sir!" replied Link.
Without hesitation, Link pulled out the Ocarina of Time, and played the Serenade of Water. As Link finished the last note, the sky started opening up, and down came a blue light and sucked him up. Whenever you get warped somewhere, the feeling is intense. It is like hot water flowing through your veins, and your spinning very fast. It seems as if you are in there forever, but in reality, it is just a matter of seconds.
As Link floated down from the sky and landed on the Water Medallion, he turned to see Zelda looking off into the water. Lake Hylia was such a awesome place to visit. The water is crystal clear and blue, and the moonlight reflecting off it was just breathtaking. He walked over to her calmly.
"Zelda, what is it you needed to speak with me about?"
Princess Zelda turned around, somewhat startled. She took a deep breathe, and sighed.
"There's something you must know. Link, this elderly women came to the castle today, yelling and screaming about how she needed to talk to the Hero of Time. She was shouting something about the truth, the truth about…Link, she said she knows something about your father. The guards took her away to the dungeon. I thought I should talk to you before I released her and brought you two together."
"Well lets go… lets go talk to this women. I want to know about my father, I've never ever heard anything about him. This could be incredible.," replied a very happy and excited Link.
Zelda then tipped her head down, and looked sadden.
"I wanted to hear what this women had to say, but I was only in a window in the castle tower. So I used a little of my telepathic abilities. Link, this women isn't just a women, or a person for that matter." Zelda sighs. "She is…….."
Well, there ya have it. First chapter up and complete. Please review and I'll get the second chapter up as soon as possible.
