They turned a corner and saw a little blond girl there.
"Hi there." Gourry said
"Listen, where can we find a sword?" Lina asked
"The best place to learn some new skills is in the Forest Training Center. It's on the hill just above here." she said
"I didn't ask to learn new skills I said a sword!" Lina growled
"The best place to learn some new skills is in the Forest Training Center. It's on the hill just above here." the blond girl said again
"Listen you..."
"Er...Miss ball of light? Maybe we should go to the Forest Training Center. It's on the hill just above here." Gourry said
"You people are impossible! Fine I'll go to the Forest Training Center. It's on the hill just above here. WHY DID I SAY THAT?" Lina screamed in anguish as they walked up the hill. They weaved around the fences and then...came to a wall.
"...great." Lina said
"Hey look! A hole!" Gourry said and pointed to, you guessed it, a hole.
"Great work genius." Lina muttered "Wait a minute! Gourry! Climb through that hole!"
"Why? It's small and long and I don't wanna!" Gourry complained
"Call it fairy intuition OK? Just go through the hole."
"Fine." Gourry said and bent down and climbed through the hole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They came out into a windey path and looked around.
"What's that rumbling noise?" Gourry wondered out loud and stepped around the corner. Big mistake. "Aaah!" he screamed and ran the other way as the giant boulder followed him. He turned around another corner and the boulder didn't follow him. He saw a large treasure chest and looked at Lina. "What now?"
"You open it dummy!"
"Oh. Right." Gourry said and pushed it open. He reached inside and pulled out a sword and had the sudden urge to hold it above his head.
"You got the Kokiri sword!" Lina said "This is the hidden treasure of the Kokiri, but you can borrow it for a while. Be sure to practice with it before you really fight."
"Why? I can already use a sword Lina."
"Finally, you remembered my name."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lina and Gourry crawled back outside and Gourry started swinging his new sword around.
"Right. Now we've got a sheild to get. Sylphiel said that they're sold at the shop so let's go get one." Lina started to float off but noticed Gourry wasn't following "Oy jellyfish! You coming or what?
"What's this Lina?" he said and pointed to a little green shiny thing on the ground.
"That's money duh. The currency of this land, the Rupee. Pick it up. We could use some cash."
"You mean money is just lying around this place? Wow." Gourry said and followed Lina after picking the Rupee up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They went down by the stream and crossed over to the shop and walked inside. The shopkeeper jumped up and down behind the counter.
"Welcome." he said
"Yeah, we want a shield."
"You don't have enough Rupees." the guy said
"What?! How do you know that?!" Lina asked increduously
"I just do OK? Go get 40 Rupees and you can have a shield."
"40 Rupees?! What a rip job! Listen you, The Clair Bible Tree himself has summoned us and we need that shield to get to him!"
"I don't care! Even if the Princess of Hyrule had summoned you and you needed this shield to save the world so we all wouldn't die I still wouldn't give it to you. You either pay up or shut up!" the shopkeeper said menacingly.
"Grr! I can't take this anymore!" Lina growled and turned into a person. "Darkness beyond twilight..." she started
"Oh! Oh! No! I mean yes! I mean you can have the shield!" he said and chucked the it at the two of them. "You have what you want now get out of my shop!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lina and Gourry ran outside and Lina turned back into a fairy.
"That's that done." she sighed
"What did you do in there?" Gourry asked
"A sorceror doesn't give away her secrets. Anyway, now we have the sword and the shield we can finally go and see the Clair Bible Tree. C'mon let's go." and they crossed the stream over to Zangalus.
"If you want to see the Clair Bible Tree you should at least equip a sword and a shield! Duh! How many times do I have to tell you!" Zangalus complained
"But we do now." Gourry said
"Eh? What's that?! Oh you have a Deku Sheild...and what's THAT?! Is that the Kokiri sword?! GOOD GREIF!!"
"Yeah sucked in! We got the Kokiri sword! And you don't!" Lina sung
"Well, even with all that stuff, a wimp is still a wimp, huh? I, the great Zangalus, will never accept you as one of us! Shoot! How did you get to be the favorite of Sylphiel and the Clair Bible Tree? Huh?! Grumble grumble..." he said and stepped aside
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They ran down the path and came across some really ugly looking purple drooling plants. "Deku Baba. Though it looks withered, it will hurt you if you touch it." Lina said as Gourry got out his sword and hacked it. With one hit it shriveled up and a stick appeared where it used to be. Gourry picked it up "You got a Deku Stick! You carry up to 10 sticks but don't waste them."
"What does it do Lina?"
"It's a stick! Sticks have many uses Gourry."
"Such as?"
"...let's just keep moving alright?"
They encountered two more of these before they entered the clearing of the Clair Bible Tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi honey I'm home! I mean, Great Clair Bible Tree...I'm back!" Lina said as they stopped short of a huge tree that seemed to have a face on it.
"Oh...Lina...Thou hast returned...Gourry...Welcome...Listen carefully to what I, the Clair Bible Tree, am about to tell thee..."
"Wow Lina! The tree talks!" Gourry suddenly exclaimed
"Shut up and listen!" both Lina and the Tree yelled at him
"Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless and full of nightmares..."
"Not really...I can never remember my dreams anyway."
"Ahem! As the servants of evil gain strength, a vile climate pervades the land and causes nightmares to those sensitive to it..."
"I'm not sensitive! I'm a strong manly...boy..."
"VERILY THOU HAST FELT IT!" the Tree yelled at the thick child. "Gourry...The time has come to test thy courage...I have been cursed...I need you to break the curse with your...er..."wisdom" and courage."
"Wisdom?! What wisdom?! If we're relying on his wisdom we're doomed!" Lina screamed
"Fine then. I suppose his courage will have to do. Dost thou have courage enough to undertake this task?"
"What task?" Gourry asked
"Just get inside! I mean enter, brave Gourry, and thou too Lina." the Trees huge mouth opened wide like a door
"Lina the fairy...Thou must aid Gourry...please. You have to aid him or we're all as good as dead. And Gourry...When Lina speaks, listen well to her words of wisdom. Listen well and alot."
"Well in we go." Lina said and in they walked
"Hi there." Gourry said
"Listen, where can we find a sword?" Lina asked
