CHAPTER ONE - NAVI THE FAIRY

* * *

The sun shot its golden rays through the leaves of the trees, decorating a clearing of trees with its warm shafts. A massive tree shot upwards in the center of the clearing; its massive branches reaching upwards for the endless heavens above.

"Navi..." it seemed to be saying. "Navi, come hither..."

There was a brief twinkling noise and then a flutter of wings, and then a ball of light appeared before the giant, aged plant. She was small, with a bluish tint of luminous atmosphere around her. Four wings that resembled that of a common house fly protruded from her center.

"Good morning, Great Deku tree!" she said in a sing-song voice. Navi was a fairy.

"Navi, thy past slumbers have been restless. Can thou sense it? The climate of evil descending upon this land?"

The little fairy nodded. Even she could feel some sort of dark power weaving itself in and out of the forest in which she lived. The Great Deku Tree rustled its gnarled branches and then continued talking. Its speech ended with a simple sentence that would change the world:

"It's time for the boy without a fairy to start his journey."

Navi nodded, her heart slamming from behind her ribs. She had waited years for this; the day that she would finally be able to go on a new adventure with her new partner.

"Fly, Navi! Fly! Hyrule, nay, the world!, depends on you!"

Navi turned, bidding the great tree farewell, and flew out of the clearing.

She flew through tall stone passageways jutting itself out of the red earth. She knew that this path would take her to the forest city, the Kokiri Forest. Flying between a little strawberry-blond haired kid's legs, Navi circled over the forest.

She darted through the area, passing by a girl sitting on top of the local market.

"Hello!" Navi greeted before flying off again. She went past a small river and lake, and then searched the air again, looking for a familiar house. There it was! In the little niche under the metal grate! Navi gained a burst of speed with her new confidence, and smashed her cranium against the metal fence.

"Ouch!" was the only yelp that escaped her lips before she flew through one of the holes after shaking her sore little head. She looked at the tree house before her; it was brown, with cheap little green curtains over the doorway. The ladder was the only way to get up, and there was a picture of a knight fighting a dinosaur inscribed on the trunk. Navi checked the sign in front of just in case...:

"Link's House" the sign read. This had to be the right place.

Pumping her little wings as fast as she could, Navi flew inside, anxious to meet her new partner.
