Chapter 3: Onward!
After a few minutes of nothingness, the party landed smack dab in the middle of Hyrule Field. Michelle looked around in awe, a huge grin on her face.
"This place is even better up close and personal than just on a TV screen," she breathed.
"Huh," asked Zelda.
"Never mind."
"Let's be serious, guys," interrupted Fox. "We have to find the Spiritual Stones." Everyone agreed, then turned to one another in confusion. "Exactly where do we go first, Link?"
"The first Spiritual Stone I got was from the Great Deku Tree, but he died soon after," explained the Hylian.
"Why don't we try asking Saria? She's a sage, she should know," suggested Zelda.
"Good idea. I'll ask her, one moment." Link then pulled out the Ocarina of Time and played Saria's Song on it. He closed his eyes and opened a telepathic link with Saria.
"Link," asked the Kokiri. "Is that you?"
"It's me, Saria. We're looking for the Spiritual Stones. Do you know where the Kokiri's Emerald is?"
"Ask the Deku Tree Sprout, he should know." Link cut off the telepathic link and turned to the group.
"Alright, guys. We need to head to Kokiri Forest and speak with the Deku Tree Sprout. We'll get more information on the stone's whereabouts from him." He turned around and started walking ahead with the rest of the group following. They eventually made it into Kokiri Forest and into the village. Link stopped as three Kokiri children started clinging to his legs, laughing. Zelda stopped to turn around, which caused the others to do so. Link couldn't help but laugh as he tried moving with the kids clinging to him. Everyone started to laugh except for Ganondorf, who had an amused look on his face. Once the children saw Ganondorf, they screamed and ran into their houses. The village was empty except for the party. The group turned to look at Ganondorf, who looked back at the group and shrugged.
"Hey, it's not my fault they're scared stiff around me," stated Ganondorf. "Actually, I kinda like it. I hate kids."
"Maybe you should don a cloak," suggested Fox. Fox typed in a few things into his wristband, which was actually a small computer. After a few seconds, a slightly torn-up, brown cloak materialized in front of them. Ganondorf snatched it before it could fall onto the ground and put it over himself, making sure the hood was in place. He nodded to the rest of the group, who nodded back to him, and they continued on towards the Deku Tree Sprout. When they got there, Link motioned for everyone to stop as he walked towards the Sprout.
"I sensed you were coming, Hero of Time," stated the Deku Tree Sprout.
"We need to find the Kokiri's Emerald. Do you know where it is," asked Link.
"It's in the Forest Temple in the Sacred Meadow. However, you are the only one who can get in because you have a guardian faerie."
"That's not entirely true, Deku Tree," interrupted Zelda as she stepped forward. She then changed into Sheik and looked at the sprout. "I was able to get there before with no trouble. I'll help Link out in there."
"Protect each other, and you shall do fine," replied the Sprout. Link and Sheik nodded as they started leaving the meadow. Link took one look back at Michelle and saw her smiling at him. She then winked and gave him a thumbs-up. Link smirked and returned the gesture. Link and Sheik then disappeared, running as fast as they could towards the temple. The rest of the group stood there, looked at each other, and sighed.
"Damn, I really wanted to go," whined Michelle.
"You mean you willingly wanted to go and get yourself killed? Interesting," chuckled Captain Falcon jokingly.
"How would you like to lose your means of reproduction, Falcon?"
"Shutting up."
"Thank you."
"Alright, knock it off, you two," ordered Fox. Just then, a Kokiri child with green hair walked into the meadow, carrying a sword with a green fairy following her. The fairy flew to Michelle and started flying around her head, making Michelle giggle.
"Saria, what brings you here," asked the Deku Tree Sprout.
"I came here to give Michelle a means of protection," replied Saria.
"Woah, woah, woah, time out," yelled Michelle. She then turned to Saria. "How the heck do you know my name?"
"I'm a sage."
"Oh, right, I forgot. . . "
"Here's your sword, Michelle." Saria then handed Michelle the sheathed sword. Michelle drew the sword and took a few practice swings, then sheathed it, attaching it to her belt. Ganondorf looked at her through his cloak, impressed by the fact she could handle a sword.
"Alright, now I can help Link and Sheik," Michelle cried out excitedly.
"You don't have a guardian fairy," donned the Deku Tree Sprout. "Therefore, you cannot enter the Lost Woods without turning into a Stalfos."
"Aw, man," whined Michelle. She sighed and looked in the direction of the Lost Woods. "Be safe, my love," she breathed.
I am so sorry for the long wait, you guys! School started, driving school came and went, I got my license (finally), Hurricane Isabel struck (CURSE YOU!!!). More chapters on the way. Again, sorry for the long wait! Please review what I have thus far!
