He landed outside of the Great Deku Tree. "Well done, Maiku... Thou hast verily demonstrated thy courage... I knew that thou wouldst be able to carry out my wishes..." said the Great Deku Tree. "Eh, it was nothing..." he replied with an overconfident certainty in his voice.
"Now, I have yet more to tell ye, wouldst thou listen..."
"Nah..."
"No, Maiku... Thou must know my time is short..."
".... Alright..." he said with a unconcerned tone
"Now... listen carefully... A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse upon me... This evil man ceaselessly uses his vile, sorcerous powers in his search for the Sacred Realm that is connected to Hyrule... For it is in that Sacred Realm that one will find the divine relic, the Triforce, which contains the essence of the gods..."
"The Triforce?" he suddenly became interested in what the Great Deku Tree had to say
"Before time began, before spirits and life existed. Three golden goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule." started the Great Deku Tree, "Din, the goddess of power; Nayru, the goddess of wisdom; and Farore, the goddess of courage. Din, with her strong flaming arms, she cultivated the land and created the red earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore, with her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law. The three great goddesses, their labors completed, departed for the heavens. And golden sacred triangles remained at the point where the goddesses left the world. Since then, the sacred triangles have become the basis of our world's providence. And, the resting place of the triangles has become the Sacred Realm."
"Wow... interesting story, Great Deku Tree..." he yawned as he sat up from his spot in the smooth grass where he lay
"Thou must never allow the desert man in black armor to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce... Thou must never suffer that man, with his evil heart, to enter the Sacred Realm of legend... That evil man who cast the death curse upon me and sapped my power..."
"Don't worry, I'll get him!"
"Because of that curse, my end is nigh... Though your valiant efforts to break the curse were successful, I was doomed before you started..."
He narrowed his eyes, "WHAT?! You mean that what I did back there was meaningless?! Agh... um... will you die soon?"
"Yes, I will pass away soon... But do not grieve for me... I have been able to tell you of these important matters... This is Hyrule's final hope. Maiku, go now to Hyrule Castle. There, thou will surely meet the Princess of Destiny. Take this stone with you. The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast the curse on me..."
A green light enveloped his hand, the light faded, and a green jewel rested in his hand, The Sprirtual Stone of Forest, the Kokiri's Emerald.
"The future depends on thee, Maiku... Thou art courageous... Navi the fairy... Help Link to carry out my will... I entreat ye... Navi...Good...bye..." The Great Deku Tree's trunk turned a dark brown color and became petrified, its leaves became autumn colors, some fell off. Maiku didn't really seem to care much. Navi turned towards Maiku, "Let's go to Hyrule Castle, Maiku!!", she turned toward the dead Great Deku Tree, "Good-bye...Great Deku Tree...".
Maiku ran off towards the village, Navi followed along shortly after.
