THE SWORD OF LIGHT
Chapter 3: The Deku Gem
Link could see the Master Sword floating around inside the monster's transparent, red body. Link pulled out his Biggoron sword, and jumped at the creature. A tentacle grabbed the blade of the sword and swung it around. Link held on, but saw the creature opening its mouth. He scrambled at his boots and put on his Iron Boots. He started pulling the arm holding his sword downward. The moment his feet touched the ground, he slashed at the tentacle and part of it fell off. Link then pulled out his bow, and fired at the creatures eyes. It screamed, but it actually took out it's eyes, and more popped out. The part of the arm that fell off re-attached itself to the body, and the creature swiftly pulled away link's Biggoron and ate it too. Link went to get his longshot, but a ball off ectoplasm was fired at him. His Iron boots caused him to trip, and the ball pushed him into the ground. He changed his boots, and went for his longshot again.
Instead of his Longshot, he felt his Forest Medallion. He suddenly heard Saria's soft voice echoing through his head. "Link......The monster is taking power from the Master Sword and Biggoron sword....and the Deku Gem! Get them all, and the creature will become mortal!" Her voice left as quickly as it came. Link jumped toward the monster, and, as he planned, he was eaten. What he had not planned, small orangisms sensed he was digestable, and rushed toward him to eat him. He basically swam toward the Master Sword, and sheathed it. He then grabbed his Biggoron sword, and despite the small things eating away at his skin, cut a hole in the monster's side. He jumped out, and saw the ghosts hovering above him. They all circled him, and shot flames, all heading straight toward him.
The forest was quiet. Skull Kid stared down the hole Link slid down to enter the Temple. He pulled out his Eagle Bone Flute, and played a strange song that was heard all through the forest. "Pleese wait, Leenk." Skull Kid said aloud, "They are comeeng, and then you will be able to geet your geem." Skull Kid then sat on a stump, and stared at the sky.
"Fire.....I'm on fire....." Link could feel the flames dancing on his body. They did not burn, but they were sucking away his energy. He closed his eyes, and collapsed on the floor. The ghost with the gem descened on Link's body, and called the monster over with a series of high pitched shrieks. Inside Link's pocket, a small fairy sank into Link's body. He twitched, and slowly opened his eyes. He saw the ghost, and closed them again. He quickly sprange up and stabbed the poe with his Biggoron sword. He grabbed the Gem, and finished off the ghost. He then picked up the ghost's lamp before it hit the ground, and threw it at the creature. It burst into flames, and dissappered. Link grinned and pulled out the wand, and put in the gem. But it was too big to fit.
Link slammed the gem into the hole on the wand as hard as he could, then gave up. He looked around, and he saw a glimmer in the wall. He got a bad feeling. He grabbed his sword, and as he did the walls dissolved. They were made of tons of poes. Link grabbed his sheild, and started to charge for a spin attack. He stopped when he heard the shaking of leaves. Skull Kid dropped down the entrance, followed by more Dekus then he had ever seen. They all started attacking the poes, while the leader, wearing a bright red headdress walked up to him. "That gem is not empowered by the power of the Deku. The power was drained when that ghost stole it. I will give the power back to it, and it will give your wand a powerful attack, which will cause plants to grow anywhere. That is all our gem can do alone." The Deku raised his head and a bright green light appeared from it. All the other Dekus did the same. The Gem shown almost blindingly, and shrank. Link put it in the Wand, and heard Saria's voice once again. "Link....you have freed the Temple. When you leave, look at it again......." Link turned to Skull Kid, and smiled. Then it hit him. "Um...How do we get out of the Temple?"
Skull Kid revealed a hidden patch of vines leading to the entrance. They climbed up, and when Link looked down into the temple, all the Deku had disappeared. He walked back and looked at the temple. All the vines were gone, except for a patch above the door, which was in the shape of the Triforce. When Link turned around, Skull Kid was gone, too. "Why does everything in this forest have to disappear when your back is turned?" Link wondered aloud. He walked out of the forest, and mounted Epona. He rode off toward his next destination: Kakariko Village and Death Moutain.
