Chapter 3. First in, best dressed.
"Like Mikau, what are we going to do when we get
inside clock town?" Japas drawled as they walked
across the hot sandy beach.
"Like I mean, we can't just go, 'Like has anyone
seen those element stones coz we like need them to
help this talkin stone,' We can't do that dude. That
would be a bit obvious."
"But dude! Were not gonna do that. Were gonna
ask people who look sus. Not just any old Deku Scrub.
They have to look like they're looking for something as
well." Mikau finished his sentence, looking amazed
that he structured the paragraph, in English.
"But like, what if they are like the evil dudes, like
they might take the stones."
"Japas," Mikau started, getting edgy because of
Japas talking all the time, " I've got this all under
control, I am of hero ancestry, I know who is trust-
worthy."
The rest of the walk to the town, was filled with
silence. The two life long friends, had the same thing
on there minds, what if they were too late?
Before they knew it, they became part of the hustle
and bustle of Clock Town. And what a beautiful sight
it was. Children running around playing chasy, it also
seemed that the Bombers had taken the day off and
were playing in the grass. People were bustling about
carrying food, signs and occasionally bomb-chus. The
place was full to the brim of happiness and laughter,
you couldn't help but get in the mood.
Japas sort of lost his concentration, Mikau
stayed focused on what they came here for. He moved
through the crowd looking for something, something
unusual. He kept walking until he noticed a young couple.
They mainly looked strange because one had
purple hair and the other had red hair. They were
soaking wet and looked a bit distressed.
Mikau followed behind them, lurking in the
shadows, he slowly followed them, jumping from
shadow to shadow. He didn't mind doing this, but they
caught him off guard.
As he was slinking around, the older man turned
and he froze, hoping he wouldn't notice him, a Zora, in
between two buildings, pretending not to be there.
"What are you doing sir?" questioned the man.
"Umm.. I'm looking for a ... stone. It's special to me
and I ... um need to find it."
"Do you have one of those element stone thingies?"
Anju butted in, before realizing what she had said, in
the middle of a crowded street.
"Anju, did you have to say that out loud? It is
dangerous you know?"
"I'm sorry Kafie, but he just seemed to know. He
said he was looking for a stone."
"And anyone could be looking for a stone, you have
to be more careful next time."
"Well if you don't mind," Mikau interrupted, hoping
to change the subject, " I might sound as stupid as her
but, no offence, I do have one of the stones. Could we
talk to you in private?"
"We? Who's we?"
Mikau glanced around and realized he had left his
friend in West Clock Town.
"Oh my God! I must have left Japas back there! I'll
be right back."
"Hang on," Anju yelled, "Meet us back at the
Mayor's office, okay?"
"Alright!" Mikau yelled back as he frantically
searched for his lost friend.

After trudging through the snow, and arriving back at
his warm city, Darmani had a light sleep. His sleep
would always be interrupted by nightmares of the
stone. He had visions that his friends and family
would get ripped from the safety of his village and fed
to a giant beast with no heart.
He woke up, covered in cold sweat, he thought
about what he could do, to put him out of his misery.
Then he remembered the stone he had found. He
picked up his hat and the stone fell into his hand. It
glowed red as he stared, and as he did, it lifted to his
eye level. It spoke to him inside his head.
"I am sorry if I have been disturbing your sleep,
with those horrible dreams, but I needed to wake you.
I did this because I have to talk to you about my
history. A long time ago, an evil man,
Antonio, he was my master in sorcery and so were 3 of
my best friends. Antonio hired us because we had the
power of each element, Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. I
had the power of Fire and I was the leader of us.
Antonio one day, asked us to use our powers to over
throw his brother from the title, The King Of Evil. We
refused and then he turned against us and turned us
all into stones. He threw us to the four corners of the
planet. But as the years have gone by, we have drifted
back to each other. I don't know what happened to
Antonio, but it has been said that he is biding his
time. We need to find the others stones, to stop
Antonio, and to become our human forms again. So
could you please go to town and find the other 3. Two
of my friends have already found each other."
With out asking any questions or thinking what to
do, Darmani left his room, home and mountain,
determined to save the planet.

Now back at the old witches house, things weren't
going to well. The old sisters had forgotten about the
stone and dumped it somewhere in there smelly
house. They came across it again, when they were
brewing a potion.
"Kotake, get me some dragon liver and some
basilisk horns. Then that should do it."
For many years the witches have been trying to
create a potion to make them younger. But with no
results, this was going to be there last potion.
As Kotake searched for the dragon liver, she came
upon the stone they had neglected.
"Koume," Her voice rasped, " What would happen if
we put this shiny stone in our potion? Would it
actually work this time?" As she said this, she hobbled
over to her sister with a grin on her wrinkled face.
"Let's see, shall we?"
Kotake took the stone out of Koume's hand, and
dropped it into the potion.
The once blue potion bubbled and hissed and
turned a shade of grey. The wicked sisters cackled and
cooed, but there laughter was shattered by a booming
voice.
"HOW DARE YOU USE MY POWERS TO MAKE
YOU YOUNGER!! TAKE ME OUT AND FIND THE
THREE OTHER STONES!! DO THIS NOW OR THERE
WILL BE HELL TO PAY!!"
By the end of this, both witches were on the floor
cowering. Kotake scrambled up to the cauldron and
grabbed the stone. Koume gathered their brooms and
they flew like the wind, toward Clock Town.

As our hero's were searching for each other, Sonya
was pondering plans and wondering where to find the
stones.
"Where can the stones be? They wouldn't be in their
hiding places. Someone must have already found
them."
Sonya kept pacing as she kicked up dust inside
her cave-like home. She had hidden herself well.
"I must go to the festival and find them there. They
must be looking for each other. That just makes my
job easier."
And she let out a evil snicker and climbed outside.
Once out in the sun she untied her horse and
mounted.
"What a nice day, too bad, soon everything will be
destroyed! Ha ha ha ha!" Sonya exclaimed as she rode off
towards the Town.
