He found himself in a dream, it was night, thunder clouds enveloped
the night sky. He appeared to be in front of a castle drawbridge. The drawbridge
lowered, and a white horse ridden by a woman and a young girl raced towards
him, causing him to run out of the way. A black horse approached him, and
a middle aged man riding it glares at him, said something at him put his
arm in front of him...

He was woken up by an annoying voice, "Hello, Maiku!" it said, "Wake
up! The Great Deku Tree wants to speak with you! Maiku, get up!", he moaned,
and rolled over, hitting the thing at the same time, sending it flying
at the wall. It flew back at him and rammed itself into his side, and flew
around him, "Hey c'mon! Can Hyrule's destiny really depend on such a lazy
boy?!". He opened his eyes and yawned, then sat up, finding an light blue
fairy in front of him. He opened his eyes wide and yelled out in surprise.
"What the...?" he said, finding that his voice had been changed to that
of a little kid, and he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the light
blue ball with wings before him.
The hell...? he thought to himself, Isn't this...
"You finally woke up!" said the fairy
"Who are you?" he said in a shaky voice
"I'm Navi the fairy!"
"What do you want?"
"The Great Deku Tree asked me to be your partner from now on! Nice to
meet you!"
He groaned. "Oh... nice to meet you, too."
"The Great Deku Tree has summoned you! So let's get going right now!"
"Right....." he nodded reluctantly and got off the wooden bed. Leaving
the building.
He walked out of the building and onto a deck with a ladder leading
down in the center, he turned around and looked up at the structure; he
found that it was a tree, he turned around to face what seemed to be something
like a forest. Ahead of him, a green haired girl in green clothes ran toward
him. She stopped on a small hill, looked up, and waved to him, "Yahoo!
Hi Maiku!" she said to him in an over enthusiastic tone. He walked over
to the edge of the balcony and hopped over it, landing on his feet, suprised
that when he hit the ground no pain shot through his legs. He approached
her, knowing after realizing who the girl was, "Hi Saria." he said, Navi
came out of the hat he was wearing.
"Wow! A fairy!!"
"Yeah? So?" he said with annoyance in his voice at the fairy
"Finally, a fairy came to you, Maiku! Wow! That's great news! I'm so
happy for you! Now you're a true Kokiri, Maiku!"
He tilted his head to one side, trying to sort out things, "The Great
Deku Tree wants to speak with me."
"Is that right? The Great Deku Tree has summoned you?"
"Yes."
"It's quite an honor to talk to the Great Deku Tree! I'll wait for you
here. Get going! Go see the Great Deku Tree!"
He ran away from her and wandered the area. Finally realizing where
he is, he stops, This is... he thinks to himself, ... Kokiri
Forest... but.... how....? Was it that...? Navi comes out of
his hat again, "C'mon Maiku! Hurry up! The Great Deku Tree is waiting for
you!" she says. "Alright, alright!" he said, grabbed her, and tossed her
away, she flew back to him, rammed herself into his forehead about three
times and went into his hat again. Since he now knew where he is, he headed
toward where The Great Deku Tree was.
¤ ¤ ¤
He approached a boy, "Hey you! 'Mr. No Fairy!' What's your business
with the Great Deku Tree? Without a fairy, you're not even a real man!"
the boy boy said. Navi to fly out of his hat again, "What?! You've got
a fairy?! Say what?" the boy said dumbfounded.
He knew who this annoying and uptight boy was, "Let me pass, Mido! The
Great Deku Tree has summoned me!"
"The Great Deku Tree actually summoned you?"
"That's what I said."
"Whaaaaaaat?!"
"...."
"Why would he summon you and not the great Mido?"
"Heh."
"This isn't funny... I don't believe it! You aren't even fully equipped
yet!"
"So what?"
"How do you think you're going to help the Great Deku Tree without both
a sword and shield ready?"
"Like you should talk, you don't even have them either."
"What? You're right, I don't have my equipment ready, but... If you
want to pass through here, you should at least equip a sword and shield!
Sheesh!"
He walked away from Mido, and walked back to; Saria and told her that
Mido won't let him pass. "What?!" she said, "Mido won't let you go
to see the Great Deku Tree?" "Yeah." he answered.
"Ohh...That bum! I don't know why he's always so mean to everyone! What
he said is true, though."
"Why?"
"The forest...strange things have been happening lately... You need
to be ready for anything. You'd better find a weapon! You can buy a shield
at the shop, but there is only one sword hidden somewhere in the forest."
"Alright." He headed towards the Kokiri Training Grounds and went into
the hole in the wall to where the sword was; he made his way through the
small maze and avoided the big rolling boulder, he reached a treasure chest
and opened it and found the Kokiri Sword in it. Navi comes out of his hat
again, "This is a hidden treasure of the Kokiri, but you can borrow it
for a while. Be sure to practice with it before you really fight!" she
said, he ignored her.
He checked an inner pocket of his tunic he had been wearing ever since
he woke up in the Kokiri Forest, and found rupees equaling to forty in
value just enough to buy a shield.
He turned away from the chest and exited the small maze. Upon exiting
it, he ran to the shop. A girl sitting above the door started to say something,
but he ignored her and ran inside. Once inside, he went to the counter.
"Hello, I would like to buy a shield please." he said as he took out forty
rupees to cover the charge for the shield, the attendant at the counter
took the money and gave him the Deku Shield. He left the shop and equipped
the sword and shield and went to Mido.
"If you want to see the Great Deku Tree you have to be at least equipped
properly." Mido said as he noticed him, "Eh, what's that?!" he noticed
the Deku Shield, "Oh, you have a Deku Shield..." he noticed the Kokiri
Sword, "And what's THAT?! Is that the Kokiri Sword?!".
"Yep," he answered Mido's question in annoyance,
"GOOD GRIEF!! Well, even with all that stuff, a wimp is still a wimp, huh? I, the great Mido, will never accept you as one of us! Shoot! How did you get to be the favorite of Saria and the Great Deku Tree? Huh?!" Mido walked out of the way, grumbling the whole time. He walked past him, and went on his way to visit the Great Deku Tree.
