Link...
The chosen boy..
Hyrulian from the forest..
Help..me..
I need you now..
Link woke up with a start. That dream again.. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, looking across his dark house. It was still nighttime.. He should go back to sleep, he thought. It couldn't have been three o'clock yet. He settled himself upon his bed and sighed, closing his eyes. Drifting back off to the realm of sleep..
He had a different dream this time. There he was standing in front of a drawbridge in front of a huge castle. He stood there, puzzled, as a white horse game galloping from the drawbridge and across the landscape. He stared confused at it's riders. A young girl about his age in a white dress, and a disguised lady along with her. He stared back to the drawbridge as he took a sharp intake of breath. There was an evil looking man upon a midnight black horse. There was a strange aura around the man, and Link didn't like it. Even his horse appeared to have evil in it. Link found himself backing up from the horse and the man, as he heard an evil cackle escaping the mans lips, and he began galloping away.....
"...Navi? Where are you? Come hither.."
The elderly spirit of the Deku tree cried out to the fairy as it stared at the dying tree with pure sadness in it's eyes.
"Navi.. I need you to fulfill your purpose now.. A man has cast a spell on me, I must have the boy without a fairy come to my aid.. But first.. Find the child of water and her brother in the mountains.. Navi.. I beseech thee, go now to Death Mountain and Zora's domain to obtain the other youths. Only when the three are together can Hyrule be saved.. Go now, Navi." The tree gasped. Navi the fairy was shivering in fear. Was the Deku tree going to die? Navi gained her courage and nodded to the Deku tree. She quickly flew off into the night, she only had until morning to get all of the children, for the Deku tree wouldn't hold on much longer...
I need you..
Hyrule is in your hands..
The boy from the mountains had no idea of what was happening at the time. He was asleep in his room at the top floor of the Goron Village. He had crimson hair and green eyes that were closed tight under his eyelids. He stirred slightly, and yawned a little, hearing a small tinkering noise above him. He thought it to be a mosquito and swatted at it. His eyes burst open when he heard an "AHH" after his hand made contact. What the heck was that?
"Sheesh, that was rude.." Navi the fairy fluttered before him. The crimson haired boy sat up in his bed, the grey sheet that was covering him falling and revealing his fairly muscular chest and a pair of black shorts. He had a fairly nice build due to the fact that he'd been living in a mountain his whole life. He blinked at the fairy and examined her with his emerald orbs.
"..A fairy? What brings you to death mountain?" He queried. Navi flitted around.
"I have been sent by the great Deku tree to summon you to Kokiri forest. I must find you and your sister and return you to the forest. You are a key to save Hyrule! We need you!" Navi said quickly. The boy blinked.
"..Uh.." He seemed to not believe the fairy's claims. "I'm just a kid from Death Mountain, why do I have to go to save Hyrule?"
"Just come along!" Navi shouted angrily, turning a shade of red. The boy raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, fine, I'm coming.. Just let me change first and I'll be on my way." He said and stood up, walking over to a small notch in the wall that was covered by a light grey cover not unlike the one on his bed. The boy was in there for several minutes, then he came out wearing a red tunic. At his back was a small sword and a Hyrulian shield. "Let's go.. what's your name, anyway?"
"I'm Navi the fairy. We shant tarry now, we must hurry to Zora's domain."
"Right, I'm Enshou Imori." He grinned a confident grin. "Let's go find my sister."
They kingdom is in peril..
There's nothing we can do now..
But to wait and hope that the three will help us..
A young girl stood at the edge of a waterfall, beginning a dive as she closed her sapphire eyes, as she felt a trickle of water fall from the ceiling above her and land softly upon her light blue hair. She sighed slightly, relaxed. She wore a blue tunic that allowed her to breathe underwater, which came as an advantage in such a place. She got in a running stance, dashing forward and hopping off the edge of the waterfall, doing several flips and turns, straightening perfectly as she landed in the water. Many of the Zora's surrounding her clapped in amusement as she surfaced, grinning slightly. She hoisted herself from the water and saw a sparkle out of the corner of her eye. She ignored it and went over to her room in the bottom of Zora's domain to dry off. She went inside and grabbed a towel, rubbing it across her head and whipping the water from it. She sighed as she removed the towel from her head and shaking it slightly. She went over to her mirror and began brushing her hair as she saw yet another sparkle from the corner of her eye. She set the brush down with a slender hand and stood up, straightening her tunic slightly and walking to the door, looking around outside. She then saw a fairy. She blinked to see if her eyes were fooling her and she rubbed them ever so slightly and gently. Next to the fairy was a crimson haired boy. She came from her room and walked over to the boy and fairy.
"..Enshou? What are you doing here?" She said, unbelieving that her brother was there. Enshou grinned.
"This fairy called me, said we have to save Hyrule or something.." He muttered in an unbelieving tone. The girl raised an eyebrow.
"Save Hyrule? We're just kids." She said in a puzzled voice, looking at the fairy that was hovering above her brother's shoulder.
"Why must you all not believe me?" Navi pleaded. "I need to get you guys to Kokiri forest, the Great Deku tree needs you!" The girl looked at her brother, who nodded.
"Alright.. I'll go. Let me finish brushing my hair. By the way, fairy, my name is Hyosui."
"Navi the fairy, now please hurry! The tree won't last much longer!"
Times running out..
Lives are on the line..
Got to save them all from a terrible fate..
Navi floated into the dark room that belonged to Link. She fluttered to him and chirped loudly to wake the sleeping boy from his slumber.
"Hello, Link, I'm Navi! We need you to wake up, the Deku tree has summoned you!" She shouted. Link turned over in his bed and moaned a little, burying his head in his pillow. The fairy, by now, had had ENOUGH of everyone ignoring her and shouted angrily. "GRR?! WHY MUST THE FUTURE OF HYRULE BE SET UPON THE SHOULDERS OF SUCH LAZY CHILDREN?!" Link, who was quite surprised by the suddenly noise, quickly sprung awake, seeing the fairy twitting angrily above him. He blinked.
"Who are you? ..A fairy?" He asked. Navi took a deep breath.
"Yes, I'm Navi the fairy. I was sent by the great Deku tree to take you to him. Looks like we're partners from here on in, but there's two other people I want you to meet as well." Navi said, flying over to the door and said something inaudible to Link, and she came back with Enshou and Hyosui. Link blinked slightly and stood up.
"Wow, I need a whole welcoming committee?" The green tunic boy asked. Hyosui blinked.
"So this is Link?" She asked Navi. Navi nodded.
"Yeah yeah, but we need to go to the Deku tree now, he can't hold on much longer!" She snapped. Enshou nodded.
"Alright. Let's go ahead and go." He said, walking over to the door and climbing down the ladder. Hyosui smiled at link slightly and went over and climbed down the ladder. Link blinked.
"..I can just tell this is going to be fun." He commented and walked over to the door. Navi sighed in agreement.
"Indeed. Sheesh, what a night.." She flew onto his shoulder and lay there, taking in a few minutes of relaxation after a night of flying.
Finally together..
Can the three save us?
Link led Hyosui and Enshou over to the field that would lead to the great Deku tree, only to be stopped by the infamous Mido.
"Hmph, you seriously think you can go through here? You aren't even a real Kokiri! You don't have a fairy!" He shouted, totally ignoring the fact that Link had the other two with him.
"Oh really?" Link muttered, just as Navi flew from his shoulder and right in Mido's face.
"He does to have a fairy, kid, and if you know what's good for you, you should get outta our way." She snapped. Mido snorted.
"Quiet you loud creature.." He muttered. "What can you do, anyway? You don't even have a shield and a sword!"
"Err.. Well, I guess you're right." Link said. "If I get them, will you let us through?"
"Yeah, right, like you can actually get them. But yes, I will let you through if you are smart enough to find them." Mido said, tapping his foot impatiently on the ground. Link rolled his eyes and walked away, hopping onto a platform in the water and onto solid ground across it. Hyosui followed after him.
"What's his problem?" She asked. Link sighed.
"He's always trying to get on my bad side, I don't really know why." Link said. He looked forward and blinked. "Hey.. Is that.. Oh hi Saria!" He shouted. A girl with emerald colored hair and in a green outfit approached them.
"Yahoo! Hi Link!" She said happily. "Wow, you finally got a fairy?!" She grinned. "That's so great!"
"Yeah. I can't believe it." Link smiled. "Her names Navi. Oh, hey, I got summoned by the great Deku tree."
"Wow! That's great, Link, I knew you would get something this great someday.. Who's that?" She said, points to Hyosui.
"I'm Hyosui. I was summoned as well. Me and my brother." She pointed behind her at her brother who was bickering with Mido. Link blinked and looked over.
"Why's he arguing with Mido?"
"He doesn't like being pushed around. He grew up in Death Mountain so he has an attitude all his own." Hyosui said. Link nodded.
"Alright, I see.. Well, Saria, do you know where I can find a sword and shield?"
"Well, you can buy a shield at the shop over there." Saria pointed in the proper direction. "And if you get through the Kokiri Training ground, your reward is the Kokiri sword." Link nodded once more.
"Sounds good, thanks Sar'." He said and ran in the direction of the training ground. Hyosui blinked.
"He's a bit impulsive, isn't he?" She said to Saria. Saria nodded in agreement.
"Well, yeah, but that's one of the great things about him. He'll do whatever needs to be done at the right time. The first time I realized that, I knew for a fact that he would be great someday. He's one of those people you can just tell.." She said. Hyosui looked at Saria and blinked a little. Then looked over at the shop.
"I think I'll treat Link to a shield.. I looked at his wallet when he was argueing with Mido, it didn't look like he has enough for a deku nut." She said. Saria grinned.
"Go ahead. Watch out for him, alright? I know something dangerous is up ahead for you guys."
"You got it." Hyosui said and walked over to the shop. She looked in, seeing a small Kokiri, attempting to hold himself up on the counter to see over it. She grinned a little. She was taller then the average Kokiri like Link. She leaned over the counter. "I'll take a Kokiri shield, please. Wait, better yet, make it two." The little man scurried over the shelf with the shields and picked them up, placing them on the counter.
"That'll be eighty ruppees, miss." He said. Hyosui sat the ruppees on the counter and grabbed the shields.
Time's running out..
Where are you Link..?
Link crawled under a small space in a wall towards the north of Kokiri forest. He couldn't believe what was happening quite yet. All the dreams, then the fairy and the others that had come into the forest. He said and crawled from the space and looked around. He turned left and heard a small rumbling. He decided not to stick around and find out what was causing that noise and ran into the tall grass. He took a peak around a corner and his eyes widened. A huge boulder was right behind him! He clenched his teeth and ran like heck, doing a running somersault out of the way just before the rock hit him. HE felt his head make contact with something, hard. He rubbed it.
"Ow.." He looked over, seeing a treasure chest. He blinked and went over to it. He pushed the lied open and hoisted himself onto it, reaching in to find.. The Kokiri Sword.
Not much time remaining..
I beseech ye to hurry..
Link came back over to the pond with his sword in it's sheath. He looked to the shop, and then at his wallet.
"Dangit, I don't have enough money.. What am I supposed to do?" He sighed and looked over at Mido. He was by himself now, apparently Enshou has left his argumentative state. Link looked over to see Hyosui standing in front of the shop. He blinked and walked over to her. "Hey.." He said, a little depressed because he didn't have enough money and his visit to the Deku tree would be prolonged. Then he saw her grin, and hold out a Deku shield to him.
Hurry..
There's no more time to spare..
Enshou found his sister and Link talking in front of the store and walked over to them. He looked past them at Mido.
"Alright, you got all your stuff, didn't you?" He said. Link nodded.
"Yeah. Let's head that way." He said. Walking over to Mido and sighed. "Alright, Mido, we need to see the Deku tree now."
"See the Deku tree? Tch, you don't even have the right equipment, like I said.. Hey.. wait.. is that the Deku shield? No big deal.. but wait.. is that.. the Kokiri sword?! How did you obtain that?!" Mido snapped rudely. Hyosui grinned.
"We got the stuff, now let us through."
"Unbelievable.. I'll never accept you as a Kokiri, Link. Never. Gah, how did you get to be the favorite of Saria AND the Great Deku Tree?" Mido continued to pout and moved out of the way. Enshou grinned.
"My day is complete. We've single handedly broke the pride of a conceited boy." He said, snickering. Link laughed and started walking into the field that the Deku tree was awaiting. Hyosui looked at her brother and smiled.
"Guess our adventure is just starting. I can't believe the fairy was telling the truth."
"I heard that!" Navi called from Link's shoulder. Enshou grinned again, and walked forward, sticking his hands in the pockets of his tunic. Hyosui walked forward, seeing a couple leafs branching from the ground. She blinked and walked over, to it. She leaned over it, just as a deku baba was about to stick up. She went flying backwards slightly.
"Ouch!" She moaned, rubbing her head. "That hurt.. You little.." She reached into a pouch in her tunic and pulled out a crossbow. She carefully aimed and fired at the Deku baba. It was finished quickly and fell over, deku nuts falling from it. She picked them up. "These might come in handy.." She stuck them in her pouch, then looked at Link, who was staring blankly.
"..Nice fighting." He said in a surprised tone. "I didn't know you had a crossbow" Hyosui grinned.
"You'll learn a lot of things about me as time goes on, Link."
"Like what?"
"You'll see.." She smiled and walked forward. Enshou had his eyes closed and walked forward, then he heard Link and Hyosui's footsteps stop. He opened his eyes and saw a huge tree before him. He couldn't believe his eyes. Then the tree opened it's mouth and began speaking.
"Greetings children.. Navi, you have returned.. I knew you would not fail me.." Navi flew off Link's shoulder and over to the Deku tree. "Now, my children, I wish to tell ye something. I have been cursed, and I need ye help.. You three are the chosen ones.. This is your first test.. Are you brave enough to take on this task?" Link nodded immediately. Enshou gave a peace sign with his fingers and Hyosui grinned. The tree gave them all a weak smile. "Then enter.. And be brave.. For there are many trials before you." He said, suddenly the front of the tree opened up, bearing them passage into it. Link nodded to them and stepped into the Deku tree, the others following.
The adventure begins..
The three are about to discover..
What true courage, wisdom, and power is..
As it has been told for years back and back and back..
The chosen three will make it apparent that the future will be safe for them..
And the threats to the land of Hyrule will be thwarted at all costs..
Or so they think..
