Hey, hi! Thanks for the reviews...but one problem... Something on FanFiction was messed up so the reviews didn't show up. So, I'd appreciate if you'd review again! ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own any Zelda characters, races or worlds, but Katt and Senkrad are my creation.

The Legend of Zelda: Dark World

*~* Chapter 7 - Deku Plain *~*

"Are we there yet?" Katt asked tiredly.

"How should I know?" Link replied, "Senkrad's new to me, too...and why are you complaining? It's the horses...Pegasus...whatever...that are doing all of the work."

"I'm not used to being a hero, Link. Give me a friggin' break," said Katt, "

"Well get used to it! I wasn't always a hero, either. But I saved Hyrule and Termina on my own!" Katt blinked, "What?" Link asked, "Oh...right...you don't know Termina. You know, you'd get along with Kafei."

"Who?" Katt asked.

"Some stupid guy who got cursed. Turned into a kid, he was! Didn't know what to do about it, so I had to help him!" Link replied.

"What's your point?"

"You're both hopeless and need my help," Link smirked. Katt glared at him for a moment, then turned her head away from Link and looked ahead, "Fine! Ignore me!" Link shouted.

"Stop your Pegasus," Katt said calmly.

"Why? You want to fight me?"

"No. There's a chasm in front of you."

"What!?" Link exclaimed turning forward, "Woah! Stop, Goldy!" The Pegasus came to a halt. Link gave a sigh of relief.

"Now are you glad you have company on this adventure?" Katt asked.

"No," Link replied, "Because if I didn't have company I would have been looking ahead."

"True...but would you know how to pass this chasm?" she asked.

"In due time... do you know how?"

There was a silence, "No. But it can't be that hard, we have flying horses!"

"How do we make them fly?" Link asked.

"Dunno," Katt replied, "Maybe we should have though to ask Talon."

"Too late for that," Link said. He pondered for a moment, "Um...FLY!" Goldy looked up at him with a questioned expression.

Katt laughed, "Good job," she said sarcastically.

"Let's see you do better," Link challenged.

"OK..." Katt was silent in thought, "Maybe if we get the Pegasus to run into the chasm, they'll fly over it!"

"I really don't want to die, Katt," Link said in reply.

"And neither do the Pegasus. So they'll instinctively fly over the chasm!" Katt said triumphantly.

"It's too big a risk," Link stated.

"And what's an adventure without taking any risks?" Katt smiled, "Go Silvery!! Come on, chasm...bring it on!!" Katt slapped the Pegasus' hindquarter and it dashed toward the chasm.

"Katt, NO!!" Link shouted, not that he had to worry. As the Pegasus approached the chasm, it flew into the air, "Oh... she was right..." Link said before commanding Goldy to do the same.

When they were both on the other side of the chasm, Katt turned to Link, "What do you know? I was right! Link, this is a new realm with new rules, and the only way to learn the rules is to take a few risks. If you want to slay the dragon, you're going to need to take risks!" she repeated.

"I know a bit more than you, Katt," Link said in reply, "About adventures and about risk-taking."

Katt sighed, "You're hopeless."

"Excuse me?" Link said, with anger.

"I have the very essence of the Deku Tree inside of me! I think I know what I'm talking about!"

"Of course..." Link murmured, "Listen, let's just lay off the arguing, OK? If we want to save this place we're going to have to work together, whether we like it or not."

"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you this entire time!" Katt shouted.

"Well now we agree! OK? OK." Link answered his own question. Katt sighed, annoyed.

Link and Katt had been riding for a while when they came across something living. Well, actually, Katt came across it, as Link was a little behind. It was a small, nut-like creature, with leaves on its head and glowing, orange eyes.

"Um...hello," Katt greeted.

"*********!!" The creature said some gibberish.

"Uh..." Katt stared at it blankly.

"*********!!" It repeated the gibberish loudly.

"Link!! HELP!!" Katt shouted.

"What?" Link asked as he caught up.

Katt pointed to the creature, "It yelled at me!"

"Oh...that? It's a Deku Scrub. It's what we're looking for," he stated, "A little more dark than I recall... even when they were shooting Deku Nuts and me in the Sacred Forest Meadow."

"Stop recalling your adventures and explain! How can we be looking for some creature that can't even talk!?"

"It's a child, the adults can talk," Link replied.

"I see..." Katt said, not really understanding. Meanwhile, the Deku was running away, "Huh? HEY!! Get back here you little...thing!!" Katt shouted after it.

"It won't listen! Follow it!" Link shouted.

The Pegasus dashed off chasing the creature until they came to a field of extremely tall grass...over their heads.

"Where do we go now?" Katt asked.

"I'm not sure," Link said, "I guess we need to find the Dekus and get their help."

*~* End of Chapter 7 *~*
