Chapter Five
Tragedy Befalls.

"Not agaaaaaaaiiiiinnnnnnnnnn-!" Yugi yelled as they dropped from the sky and plummeted straight to the ground. Navi too, was in the beam so she was falling like a stone as well. Right before they hit reached the ground, they slowed down completely and landed nice and lightly on the ground in front of the Deku Tree.

Brushing himself off, "That wsan't so bad, was it?" Navi fell to the ground from where she was hovering when she heard him say that. Ignoring this, Yugi called out to the Deku Tree: "We removed the Curse just like you asked." "Well done, Yugi. Thou hast shown thy courage. But, it was too late for me, even before I summoned thee." Yugi gaped at these words. "Th-then what was the POINT!?" "I needed to know if thou were strong enough for a journey-" "Journey!? How can I go on a journey? As soon as I leave this forest, I'll-" "Yugi, allow me to explain. Thou aren't a normal Kokiri....."

"Many many years ago, there was a terrible war. Thou were only just a baby at the time (AN~ KAWAII!!! ^0^) and thy mother came to this forest and begged me to let thee live with the Kokiri, for she knew thou'd be safe here. Thy mother...died. So I kept thee here."

Yugi was utterly speechless. He opened and closed his mouth several times, trying to say something, anything, but no sound came.
(AN~That part felt weird writing it to be honest o_O Anyway, no more interruptions!!!)
The Deku Tree then told Yugi that he must bring something to the Princess. A beautifull emerald stone with a bit of gold around it appeared from the Dekus roots, and floated over to Yugi. "That is the Kokiri's Emerald. Take that to Princess Tea." "There's one other thing too," The Tree continued. "Take this. Don't show it to anyone else. It is a Card. Take good care of it, and it will take care of thee." The Card had a picture of a warrior dressed in green with a green helmet. He carried a Sword. The name was written on the bottom....

"Celtic Guardian?" Yugi read out, puzzled. "Why did 'he' want this Stone?" Yugi asked. "One who has the three Spiritual Stones, and the Ocarina of Time, can posses the Triforce." "Triforce?" "Thousands of years ago, before Hyrule was inhabited, three Goddesses flew down....

~*Three golden figures flew down in breakneck speed, each radiating with color. Din, the Goddess of Power, flew down even further. Quickly followed by the two other golden figures, Farore, and Nayru, the Goddesses of Courage, and Wisdom. Din, with her flaming arms created the red earth, and Farore created Life. Nayru, provided Law to the world. Then, all three Golden Goddesses left as quickly as they came, never to return. But, before they all left, they created three golden triangles, called, the Triforce. Each piece had their best potential. Power, Courage, and Wisdom. Where these golden Triangles fell, became a sacred place in Hyrule.....*~...."

The Deku Tree finished telling them the legend, and started turning grey, slowly.
"Nnnnaaaavvviii....Taaakeee goooddd caaarrreee oooooofffffff Yyyyyuuuuuuuuuugggggiiiiiiiii....." The Deku Tree said slowly, struggingly to stay alive long enough to tell the small Fairy. The Great Deku Tree....was......dead. "Goodbye, Great Deku Tree...." Navi whispered. The two of them walked away slowly, thinking things over, and paying their last respects. When they returned back to the village, Seto, of course, was waiting. "OKAY, what did you guys do!?" He read Yugi's expression.
"The-the Great Deku Tree, is DEAD!!!? This is all YOUR fault! I'll never forgive you Yugi!!" And with that, he ran off to his house. "It wasn't your fault, Yugi." Navi told him quietly. "I should of defeated Gohma quicker!" Yugi cried falling to his knees and banging the forest ground with his fist. "If I did, then he wouldn't of died..... Who's going to protect the forest, now?" A few small crystal clear tears fell to the ground. "It had nothing to do with how fast you were! The Deku Tree already told you, it was too late for him BEFORE he actually summoned you."
Not satisfied, Yugi got up and ran towards the log on the otherside of the village. The exit. For once the Guard was off duty, so he ran through and found himself on a bridge in the lost woods. To his amazement, Saria was there, a look of sorrow in her eyes.

"Yugi, I never told you this, but, I-I knew you were different from us...That you would have to leave someday." She paused, looking into his amythest eyes. "I guess today is that day....." She took her hand from behind her back and held them out. Yugi looked down and saw an orange Ocarina. "Take this, so you won't forget me. Bye Yugi." "Saria...I..." his voice cracked, but she knew what he meant to say, so he just trudged on to the other log. "Bye Yugi..." He walked through, and, seeing light on the otherside, he grit his teeth. What if the Deku was wrong? What if he WOULD die the second he left the woods? With mounting courage, Yugi stepped through.

Nothing happened. Instead, the sun stung his eyes, since the forest had this misty kind of sky, the sun never seemed all that bright. "Well, guess he was right." "Where's the caslte, though? Is it North, west, east, or south? No, it can't be South, that's where we just came from..."
He spotted a large hill not too far away from him. "I know! We can climb to the top of that hill and take a look around!" "Sounds like a good idea to me!" Navi smiled. "In that case, to the hill!" They both skipped up the hill looking this way and that looking at this strange new world that they've never seen before. Putting his hand to his forehead, he scanned the horizon. "There!!" He practically jumped in delight. In the north, was the sillohuette of a large building, a castle to be exact.

"So that means we travel due North! Easy, huh?" Yugi said, still pointing. "It is if we get there before nightfall...." "Aw, stop being a stick-in-the-mud Navi!" "Anyway, no more jabbering, LET'S GOOO!!!" Yugi shouted running north. Hopping ang skipping along the way, you could tell he was in his usual happy mood from one hundred miles away. That's one thing about Yugi, you couldn't HELP but be happy while around him. As the 'stick-in-the-mud' said, the sun begun to set, and by then Yugi was walking his arms dangling with his tongue sticking out, in exaustion. "Uh, Yugi? I think you should rest somewhere..." As if listening, a sign happened to be a couple steps ahead of them.
"Lon lon Ranch?" "Sounds good to me! Let's go collapse over there." Yugi replied still panting. They walked up the large hill (after hearing a large moan from Yugi) leading up into it, they finally arrived. "Good, we'll stay here. You go sit down at the tree over there while I look around for someone." Navi told him, looking around the surroundings. After a couple minutes, Navi flew back and called out to him, "There's no one out here. I guess everyone is inside already."
No answer.
"Yugi?" After hearing no reply, she swiftly flew over closer. "Zzzzzz ..... Zzzzzz" 'I should've known, he's asleep!' After nestling down a little beside him, Navi too, went fell asleep.
