This is My first fic in a long time, It's important to me that you tell me what you think if you wish for me to continue it.
"They descended on Limblum like locusts, Queen Brahan's men. Killing everyone in sight. Destroying everything they could….and then the summoned god took his toll. There was nothing any one of them could do, other than Not die. We, Dagger, Vivi, and I could only watch from afar. What a terrible catastrophe. If only there was some way that we could have turned back time. I know that there would be some way that we could have prevented that terrible destruction at her hands."
Final Fantasy IX.2
The Hero of time.
A cold shiver ran down is spine, causing him to pull the child sized blanket tighter around him. Even with the Sun crawling through his modest house He was not going to wake up. But the spirits came to again with their trickle down his back tugging at this hair and he was forced to rise at last. He rolled over to cringe at the morning light, until his eyes had time to adjust to it.,
Slowly he climbed out of the small wooden bed and made his way to the door. A small tremor ran through him when he caught the full light of day. He hadn't really seen a morning in a long time. Ducking down to exit the small house. He stood on the deck stretching. Almost immediately the spirits of old came to greet him. The wind whipped up around him in a hug of warm spring breeze. "I am not be able to see you guys anymore," he said to the wind "But I know you are still here." a smile formed on his face as the winds died a bit.
Looking around the small wooded village all unkempt he thought of her for a split second and then put her out of his mind. Something else had drawn his attention.
There was something different about the forest. He looked around more alert this time, to realize that he was seeing wild magic flowing from every living thing. Nothing he could really see, it was more a feeling and a knowledge to him. The forest was alive with majick . As if the forest children were running around kicking up the majick like they always did. And then with this understanding, he almost heard the Flute again playing the song that always filled the forest to trick unsuspecting people from finding their way out or in.
What was happening he thought Why was the forest so alive again. He climbed down the latter from his house and took a firm step on the ground. Instantly he could feel the Majick. It was the same as when they were here, the forest children.
He walked down to the cool water and waded in, proceeding to strip off his clothes and wash them. All the while a constant giggle could be heard around him. Not a threatening giggle but a playful one. After washing his clothes. He washed himself and put his clothes back on. Again came the wind whipping around him as if he were the center of a small tornado. Minutes later he was completely dry.
He didn't understand why the forest was so alive but he had a feeling that he should go to the great tree to ask. No sooner than he thought this did the ground shift., he almost stumbled. It took him a second to gather his balance and to see what was happening . The forest was moving and a path that had long time ago died to new growth opened up, In a great display of vines moving plants and plants shifting in the ground to pop up in a new location to frame the path. "Well I guess I am supposed to go see the Deku tree." He spoke into the air.
Approaching the path he saw the dancing fireflies and the dense mist hanging to the ground. The path to the 'Great Deku Tree' seemed more enchanted than ever.. He walked down the path for a while until he came to the clearing. The last time that he was this place the New Deku tree was but a sprout. It had grown…and grown quickly…it was the size of the old Deku Tree now. But most importantly it was alive. And thriving. He had feared that when the children left the forest, so too would the Deku tree. And for 7 years this was the first time he had seen it.
The Great Deku Tree bloomed in all of its glory. The seed of majick popped from the flowers and burst into tiny flurries of light that swam in the great clearing where the Deku Tree stood.
Having taken a few steps forward. The ground began to rumble again, but this time not of its own accord. A deep earth trembling voice came from the tree "Link…the warrior has returned." it spoke in an old paced voice that made him shiver.
"I have Great Deku Tree," Link shouted "To ask why the forest came to life!"
The Tree shivered and in its enormous branches he could see the Kokiri forest children playing, and dancing.
The voice of the Tree came again. "It has been a long time…very long time since I have last seen you. You are a man now." it said Link had wondered if the Deku tree knew of what happened in the past, future, but never got a chance to speak. The tree took back its slow course of speech "And you have been in the forest the whole time. I have been watching you. Young link. You want the answers to the forest. When it is you who have them."
Link was confused "Me, I don't understand, how do I have them?"
"You will understand."
Link stood there for a moment confused. He had done nothing different for any other day he had been in the forest. Why now did the forest return to life. The Deku Tree continued to speak
"Saria spoke so well of you link." the tree said. A pain in Links heart was brought to the surface with that statement. He missed Saria, a dear friend to him. She was a sage now and could no longer be a part of Link's life. He always blamed himself for her becoming a sage, and having to leave the forest forever.
"Do you miss her?" the tree asked
"Oh Terribly," Link said eyes cast to the ground. She was my friend here when no one else was. She gave me the first ocarina. And she forfeited the forest forever for me. I miss her dearly." Link said looking back at the Deku Tree. His face stricken with sadness.
The tree sighed. And then came a voice from behind Link
"I missed you very much as well." Link turned to see her standing before him in the grass just before the path back to Kokiri village. He was in shock. She continued to speak
"I watched you day by day knowing that the time would come when I would see you again." she said taking steps toward him.
"You, you are here…but I don't understand why are you here?"
"events are in motion. I can explain everything but we must go." she said with a pleasant smile on her face she glanced past Link to the great Deku tree. The tree spoke again.
"You may need this again. For what ever courageous journey you might find." suddenly there came a bright flash of light above his head and when the light cleared there was the forest gem. Link let it fall into his hands before looking back at the tree then to Saria. He didn't understand what must be done, but he would do what could be done for any situation that might come to pass.
"you will stay with me?" Link asked Saria
"Yes, but we must hurry. Come we have to go." she said reaching out to grab his hand. He let her grab him and pull him towards the path. The Great Deku Tree spoke once more "May the goddesses be with you on the journey Link, always remember to walk the righteous path of the Tri-Force "
Link looked back to see the Kokiri forest children climbing out of the Deku Tree to dance on the ground. And as they did they kicked up the majick into the air making beautiful sparking dust fly about the air. Then we was making his way through the forest pith back to Kokiri village.
Well there is a beginning, to a possibly Epic adventure~~ So tell me does it go on? Please Review…
