A True Friend
Chapter 5
"The Transformation Theory"
Tristan looked over the Kokiri Forest with a kind of respect he had never felt before. This was the place where it all started. Link and Navi pairing up, Link's first dungeon, and the death of the Great Deku Tree. He tried to see where the Tree was, but, just like in the game, there was a passage that seemed to be infinitely tall, and turned in many directions. Not only that, but the Kokiri Forest wasn't exactly small. Something not shown in the game was the distance between everything. This place wasn't very compact, with every building just a few seconds away from its neighbor, but rather, each house had its own sizeable backyard. As he looked closer at each house, he saw them slowly turning into 3D versions of themselves, but at an almost painfully slow rate, like watching paint dry. Tristan took his eyes off the tree houses, and looked at a Kokiri who seemed to be walking towards him.
"Okay, any minute now, that girl is going to wonder what I'm doing here." Tristan said to himself. "Any minute now."
Tristan watched as the girl walked by him, ignoring him the entire time, not bothering to even acknowledge his existence. Tristan was a bit puzzled by this lack of notice.
'Why isn't she looking at me?' He wondered to himself. 'It's as if she doesn't even know I'm here! Oh, this could be bad. If no one can see me, then no one can help me get back to my own world!'
Then he looked at his walking stick and remembered back to the Lost Woods, when the Skull Kid accosted him. No, people could definitely see him, but not this girl. That was odd. As she passed Tristan, he noticed a rather odd characteristic he assumed most of the people he would meet would have: When they moved so that Tristan saw them at a different angle, they seemed to rotate on the spot, so that they showed a different side of their face, while remaining completely flat.
While Tristan pondered this oddity, the polygons from the Kokiri girl were rapidly leaving her, along with most of her programming. The next thing he knew, Tristan was back on the floor of the Forest, pinned down by a now fully 3D girl, who looked him with a mix of anger and confusion on her face.
"You aren't the one who was to come, Traveler." she spat at him.
Tristan could only look up into the girl's deep blue eyes in shock. This was not going to be easy.

Link left Saria's house with the Deku Shield attached to his back. He didn't quite understand what Saria meant by offering protection, but giving him the shield certainly fit the bill. He took it off his back, and admired the artwork on it. There didn't seem to be any definite picture, but it was breathtaking all the same.
He looked up, a bit surprised to find himself in front of the training center. He must have been walking randomly while admiring the shield, and not realized where his feet had taken him, or even that his feet were moving. Link shrugged his shoulders and walked into the Know-It-All Brothers' house to ask them for a few pointers on training.
When he walked in the door, Link noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it. The wall opposite him, it didn't look quite right. To a casual observer, it would appear that there was nothing unusual about the house in general, but to one who looked more closely, they would discover something very peculiar about the very same wall. The viewer would not be able to clearly focus on the wall, and after a few minutes hard effort, would simply give up on trying. Much like Link did. He shook his head, and blamed his problem on the nightmare he kept receiving. Percy, one of the Know-it-all brothers looked up at Link, and started the conversation.
"Hello, there, Link. What brings you to our domicile?"
"Oh, not much, Percy, I was wondering if you could tell me a few things about this shield, that's all." Link held up the Deku shield for Percy to inspect.
Percy looked the piece of wood over a bit, and looked back at Link. "Sure, I can tell you about this shield. If you want, I can even give you a little lesson out back on how to use it properly."
Link smiled at the gracious offer. "Thanks, that would be great."
Percy and Link walked out of the tree that made up the Know-it-all Brothers' house, and began their training.

The Kokiri girl was much stronger than she looked in the game, a fact that Tristan found out the hard way. No matter how much he struggled, the girl kept him firmly on the moss-covered ground.
"Look, I think you have the wrong person. I don't know what you're talking about!" he exclaimed desperately, but his cries fell upon deaf ears.
"I'm not stupid you know, Traveler, I can tell when something's wrong in this forest, and right now, that would be you!" the blue-eyed girl replied.
After more struggling on Tristan's part, he resigned himself to the fact that this girl was in control of the situation. Why was she calling him a Traveler? And why was she suddenly attacking him, when before, she didn't even acknowledge his existence. Tristan had no idea about the Traveler part, but he was almost positive that the changes that occurred to the objects in this world whenever he was near, the change from a two dimensional being into that of a three dimensional one, affected their perspective. Maybe 3D characters could only interact with other 3D characters. No, that wasn't it. After all, Tristan had seen the girl walking towards him, but she couldn't see him until her transformation was complete. So characters that were freed from the polygons could see everything, but those who were still in the second dimension, lost all knowledge of the third dimension.
This world kept getting stranger and stranger.

Author's Note: Just thought I'd comment on the reviews a bit, like my favorite author does.
Heath 999: Don't worry, Link and Tristan should be meeting up in the next chapter or two. I'm still working out the details.
Carscard: Here's your next installment. I hope it was good, and I'm still smiling. ::Looks around:: Can I stop now? My cheeks hurt.
Canihavea-soda: Yeah, dedicated to you. Just my way of saying thanks for reviewing so darn much!
OracleVortex: Oh no! Tristan is getting the girls already! And it's only 4 chapters in! Whatever will this poor teenage male do?
And now for a few recommendations. If you liked this story, I suggest you go read:
Untold Tales: Sheik by canihavea-soda. Amazing storyline, great detail! Go read it! Go review it!
