The Legend of Zelda: Reign of Terror
Chapter 3: The Deku Tree Spirit
"Lord Ganon," Volvagia said as he pushed forward a cloaked guard. "This guard saw a Zora swimming the river toward the Tower construction site and fired upon him a multitude of arrows."
"Yes and did he find the sapphire the Zora was carrying?" Ganon asked with a grim look about him while he saw the guard shake his head as if he wanted to say there was no sapphire.
"He claims there was no sapphire," Volvagia said as Ganon walked toward the guard with his sword drawn, pointing at his neck.
"Are you positive there was no sapphire?" he asked the guard in a threaten voice while the guard still motioned his head in the no fashion. "Then someone has already received it. Volvagia, try to keep that Goron Ruby safe otherwise this so called prophecy could come true. Let the guard return to his work, lock half of the workers in their house for half of the day and the other half the other half. They are no longer allowed to walk the paths of the village," he stopped and turned as the villagers who had been working since eight the night before came in and began walking toward the village. "Be sure they are kept under watch all the time, we don't need another problem," Ganon said as he turned and walked back into his house and Volvagia turned toward the crowd that was approaching and held up one hand to stop them.
"By the order of Lord Ganon, you are all to go straight to your houses and stay there until time for you to return back to the construction site," Volvagia echoed through the crowd when a bunch of people cursed the news and others showed anger seeping out of their insides with fists raised. The crowd continued to grow louder and stronger until Volvagia's hand escaped from the cloak and, instead of a flesh hand, a long whip of fire struck a loud crack above the heads of the workers, including Rammu and Link. Link jumped at the crack and hid behind his father as the crowd silenced and everyone turned to stare at the hand of Volvagia which was pointing toward where the crack had been. "Go, NOW!" he yelled at the people who quickly ran to their houses.
When Rammu and Link walked into their house they began to get ready to sleep until they both noticed the two young girls sitting on the bed. "What are you two doing here? You should be in your house," Rammu whispered to both of them as Link watched intently.
"We ran into a Zora this morning and he told us to give you this," one girl said as the other held out the sapphire and Rammu gasped.
"What happened to the Zora?" Link asked as he noticed the dry blood on the stone.
"We found him lying by the river nearly dead, he mentioned both of your names. He said to give you the sapphire," she said holding the sapphire out for Rammu, "and his last word was your name, Link." She finished as both Rammu and Link walked forward and Rammu turned and stared at Link.
"Could it be?" Rammu said still staring at Link with a glare of fear.
"Could what be, father?" Link asked almost stuttering.
"You two need to get back to your house. Link me and you need to talk," Rammu responded as he opened the door for the girls to leave and turned back to Link. "Son, you know of the prophecy, right?" Rammu asked after the door was closed.
"Yes, I know about the prophecy," Link responded sort of dumbfounded.
"Yes, well do you know who made the prophecy?" Rammu asked as he picked up a box off the floor.
"No, who made it?" Link responded as he stared at the box and watched as his father put the sapphire in it where an emerald was already placed.
"The Great Deku Tree Spirit in the forest," he answered as he opened a hidden area in the floorboards and placed the box there. "The Great Deku Tree Spirit is the one who made the prophecy and he is the one who gave us the emerald. Each of the pieces that are needed is special because the spirit of the race is within the stone. Soon the three stones will be gathered and the Sword of Evil's Bane will be forged," his father finished as he replaced the board and turned to Link.
"So, the Great Deku Tree Spirit is in the forest? Why tell me now instead of earlier?" Link asked as he stared at his father with a look of confusion on his face.
"Because before it didn't concern you, now I fear it does and you must be led to safety soon. So tonight when we leave to return to the construction site, instead we will escape until tomorrow morning into the depths of the forest and visit the Great Deku Tree Spirit," his father said as he poured a glass of water from a cobweb covered pitcher. "Now get your sleep, I fear your going to need it more than you could imagine."

As Volvagia returns to his house to change garments, he sees Ganon standing outside his house. Ganon notices Volvagia approaching and walks toward him, his shadow following him with a walk of its own.
"Volvagia, we must silence the person who made the prophecy soon," he said in a hurried voice. "We must not allow the prophecy to be fulfilled, if it is, it will be the end of my rule and your freedom," Volvagia trembled as Ganon finished talking.
"Would you like me to search for the person who made this prophecy?" Volvagia asked knowing the answer.
"Yes, we must silence him quick. Keep close to the ruby you dangle around your neck, Volvagia. Right now it's the only leverage that we have in this coming battle," Ganon said as he swiftly turned and a crack of his cloak separated his shadow from his feet. "I will be watching you," he said as he left his shadow behind and walked toward the center of the village. Volvagia turned the opposite direction as his shadow became that of Ganon's and the two walked toward the lake.
"I know who spoke of the prophecy first so I must meet with him to gather information of the origin of the prophecy," he said as he disappeared behind a building.
