Link thought it would be best to see off Cardaras. At the entrance of the woods, Link watched Cardaras walk away, until he was just a speck. Then Link turned around and entered the forest again.
Link knocked on one of the doors, and a Kokiri boy answered.
"Hiya, Mr. Warrior! Where's your friend?"
"Away. Listen, could you rally up all the Kokiri Children for me?" But Link knew the boy didn't hear the last words of his sentence. He was already prancing around, getting the Kokiri.
Link let them talk for a while until sun set. Then he motioned them all to enter Link's old house. But they were reluctant.
"We don't go there." Said a girl.
"Why not?"
"It is haunted."
"By who?"
"By Link."
Link almost smiled at this. They had no clue who he was.
"Who is the leader here?"
"I am!"
Link turned around to see Mido. He puffed out his chest and said, "I'm not scared!" Mido scrambled up the ladder. Soon, everyone was up there.
"By the way," said the first boy Link talked to, "Mido is not the Leader! She is..." He pointed a finger at a girl. He had long hair, and it was green. Like Saria's. It reminded Link that he should try the Sages as well. The girl had creamy skin, and a slightly pointed nose, though that made her no less attractive. He eyes were shut, and Link could tell that she was smart.
"She is the leader?"
"Yes! Not officially, but everyone looks up to her!"
Link got them all in a circle. Link sat on the bed, and told them a story.
"...Then we won the tournament."
All the way to,
"Jabu Jabu Disappeared..."
Even the...
"We escaped the woods just in time..."
Now to the...
"We both need your help. We know you are not warriors, but your tiny hands can make all the difference."
All the Kokiri Boys stood up quickly.
"I can do it!"
"Me too!"
"I'll help!"
Link grinned. Enthusiastic Children. Just what he needed. But wait! What if all of them died...There would be no more Kokiri. Link counted a total of twenty children. If a large amount died. it would surely upset some sort of balance. He was about to apologize to them for wasting their time and was about to go to the Gerudo's, when the girl opened her eyes and stood.
"Your odds are small. Why do you ask us, just children, to help you in war? There are less than 25 of us. If many die, the forest would not be the same. I think I speak for everyone when I ask you to leave, and not come back until the war is far over. We kokiri can fend for ourselves."
The boys' hands fell to their sides, and their heads drooped. She was right, after all.
Link frowned.
"I am sorry. I did not realize this."
"It is a good thing I did. We are not fighters, we fight nobody. Leave now, and don't bother us again."
Link, a little crestfallen, jumped from the treehouse and summersaulted as he hit the ground, and ran out of the exit.
As the Kokiri Children watched him leave, a Know It All Brother spoke up.
"Only one other would ever jump of the treehouse and summersault. That one was Link. Could he have been Link?"
"Nonsense. That new book you have been reading is filling you with ideas!"

Cardaras had walked some great distance, North East, to The Village of Outcasts. He walked up the broken steps, and saw huts that were ripped, homes with no houses, hardly any grass, the graveyard has expanded immensly, and the Windmill was...now just a light house. As Cardaras walked in, troops of Caidro ran to him.
"Show us rupees, and you will enter." Rasped one.
"I will not." Cardaras whacked one across the face, and kicked one in the breastplate. He beheaded them both with his spear, and walked to the largest hut he could find. He saw people in torn cloaks, and huddling close together. One was trying desperately to make a fire.
"Away." Cardaras said. He put his hand to the hearth, and muttered a chant. Flames erupted from the hearth, now giving off great light. Everyone looks up, amazed and frightened.
"Sorcery." One whispered.
"No." Cardaras said. "Just a bit of magic. To help you."
Murmered whispers.
"Please, meet me outside."
In ten minutes Cardaras counted a mere 100 humans. He climbed a statue of Ganondord, and bellowed so they would hear him.
"Fellow race of Men! I come to you today, to put an end to this! Who remembers, a time when Kakariko Village used to be a small village, then to a bustling town? What was the goal? To live a long, healthy life and give hope to others! Also, the other goal was to make Kakariko a CITY! What is it now? A settlement? What will you do?"
One spoke: "Nothing alas. The great Ganondorf and Caidro block us from the light we once had. We can't match them."
Cardaras continued in a large voice, standing on the top the statue.
"Join my army, and we will once more eat rich corn, sell much wheat, and even give tours on the Graveyard once more!"
"Too weak." A young man said. "They are powerful with an army."
"We will have an army as well! We have already 8,000 Zoras on our side! Joining us will make 8,1002 warriors! Then we convince others- Gerudos, Sheikah, Kokiri, and even Animals!"
"Too weak." The voice repeated.
Cardaras was frustrated.
"Too weak!? Is THIS weak?" Cardaras bellowed, making a white ball in his hand. It lightly draped around him, and even as the crowds' jaws dropped the lighthouse was hit with the blast Cardaras conjured up. There was now only rubble, and many moblins fell and were crushed in the rubble.
Panting, Cardaras spoke again. "Do...you not see? This...is your one way to glory..!"
The crowd was in a stupor. They ran back to their homes, and latched the doors. Cardaras sighed. In anger, he jabbed his spear right through Ganondorf's head. He removed it, and wished Link was having better luck than he was. He leaped off the statue, and left the Village of Outcasts.
