The sun was just setting when Zero walked out from Zora's Domain. He knew that it would be best to travel first, then sleep. He thought out a plan that would help him, like where he needed to be and when. He was a very organized Zora. He decided to go to Hyrule Castle first, and make camp a little west of the gate, by Lon Lon Ranch. He unfortunately forgot a pack of provisions, and wasn't daring to go back to the battle sight with the Domain. He chose to barge off into the night, instead of grabbing some food. He sighed, and trekked on down Zora's River. For a second, he forgot he was a Zora, so he walked. Suddenly remembering, he dove into the water. He was relieved that he didn't have a pack, he swam on through the waters.

Silent as a shadow, he slipped past the evil fish sitting on the land. They were mutated, so they could go anywhere. He continued swimming, and came upon the harsh current, telling him he was in the field. He got out of the river, his fins already tired. He sighed, and walked towards the castle slowly. He heard something, and whirred around to see the bushes nearby rustle. A little bit short of breath, he yelled to the bush.

"Show yourself! Do not be afraid, whatever you are. I won't harm you!"

"Whoever said that I won't harm you?" the voice replied casually.

"Um. I believe that you can hurt, just please don't!" he said, eyes lit up with fear, his voice staggering from the swim.

"Oh, it's sad. A great, young Zora as yourself, exhausted from a little swim. You should be more careful when you decide to leave home next time." It said, a bit more friendly.

"I'm not going home."

"WHAT? How can you not go home? They need you! You can't let them die!"

"How do you know they're dying? Huh? Have you been spying on me?" Zero had gotten his breath and his courage back. He walked slowly up to the bush, and moved the leaves away.

"Please don't hurt me! I did nothing to you!"

"Ha! I should've known! A little fairy without a home! What be you called, fairy?" Zero said, plucking the fairy from the bushes by its wing.

"Nomi, they call me Nomi. Now, will you please put me down?!"

"If you promise not to torment other travelers, I'll put you down."

"I didn't want to torment you, Zero, I just wanted to be your friend," Nomi said pleadingly.

"Then, if you want. Wait a second, how'd you know my name, Nomi?"

"Uh, um. A guess?"

"Good enough for me." Nomi sighed. "So, you want to be my friend, eh? Well, if you want to be someone's friend, you don't hid in bushes, and scare the stuffing out of them! You go up o them, with a smile on your face and ask to be their friend. Got that? Now, let's try that again." Zero released the fairy, and walked back a few paces.

Nomi came up, and asked, "Will you be my friend?"

"Of coarse, fairy. My name's Zero, what's yours?"

"My name is Nomi. Pleased to meet you, Zero!"

"Perfect. OK, let's be on our way," Zero said happily.

"Wait!" another voice shouted from above.

"Oh, no," Nomi said.

"Who are you?" Zero asked the big figure sitting in the tree.

"He's that big owly dude," Nomi said, "We better get going before he puts us to sleep with his yakking!"

"Don't leave. Please, sir, ignore young Nomi for a second. Please listen to me. They need your help."

"Yeah, I know, but I don't know how to help them."

"Where do fish live, young Zora?"

"In the water?"

"Yes, where don't normal fish live?"

"On land?"

"Where do find mutant fish?"

"Everywhere?"

"NO! On the land!"

"Oh. OK, so, where do we go first, Owly Dude?"

"To defeat the first and least experienced mutant fish leader, of coarse."

"No dip, but where's that, O Great Owly Dude?"

"I'll only tell you if you stop calling me Owly Dude."

"I only called you it once. The second time, I called you Great Owly Dude."

"Fine, but don't call me that again."

"Ok, sir. Where Do O find this fish guy?"
