Beark went through the passage that led to the Deku tree. It had just told
him what it knew about the positions of other Deku Schrubs in Hyrule, but
somehow it hadden't seemed happy with Beark's plans for a Schrub
revolution. It feared for the lives of Kokiri, many Schrubs hated them as
well, since adventurers had told them many stories, in which Schrubs had
been the foolisch creatures who had messed up their fight with the "evil"
that kept them from claiming what is so-called rightfully theirs. And it
always seemed as if they had believed it. He went on thinking about what
the Deku tree had told him, how he would train and equip the Schrubs, where
they should strike first and when they should go out in the open. The last
was not a very difficult choice, they would remain nameless for as long as
possible. "It's better to seek my people out, and remain undetected by the
Hylians, than to let everyone know who we are, so the Schrubs will come to
us." He thought. When he reached the lost woods, he stood still. Something
is hiding from me. It's to quiet. As he went deeper into what was probably
the last place Schrubs could live kind of safe. The silence was broken by a
quick and short rustling, one that the wind does not often bring forth.
Beark was to excited with the beginning of his job to let this scare him.
"The Schrubs stand must begin here!" he said. "I know your there and you can't scare me!"
There were about fifty of them, they were all Narc and his friends could gather on such short notice. They had spread out and searched for all who would join them for half an hour so that they could surprise Narc's father with the beginnings of the Deku Schrub army that would rid the Schrubs of the plague that made them mad, and of the hold the Hylians had over them. It was not very easy though. Aak had almost scared seven Schrubs away, until Deik saw what was going on and persuaded them to join the revolution after all. Five ungroomed en two groomed Schrub's had arrived from Termina since their land had been destroyed by the apes. This was a good test to see how effective the leaves on their head were as camouflage. Let's see a groomed Schrub do this. Narc thought.
Although the victim had already noticed them, he hadn't figured were they were yet.
"Form a circle, keep the birds singing, watch for my hand," were the insctructions Narc had given the first members of the Schrub revolution. They were quite keen to show of to each other. But luckily they saw the importance of inspiring Beark with this action.
Narc saw that the circle was complete, and stepped out of the green.
"Hello father."
"Narc, I knew you'd wake up!"
"Why didn't you wake me?"
"You are strong enough to rise yourself, and I needed to do something very important. Today it begins Narc! I just went to the Deku tree, he has informed me of the locations of most Scrubs. Together with all the Schrubs of the lost woods we won't be stopped."
"How will the two of us gather them all?"
"That will not be easy, we should start with your friends, and those who live nearby, they trust us most."
"It would be a lot easier if we had more to start with"(sigh) Behind his back Narc pointed out four fingers, drew them in and pointed out three...
"The Deku tree said a lot of Scrubs are held in the Gerudo fortress, since they can't...
On Narc's "pointing" out no finger's the Schrubs come from the forest and surrounded Beark.
"How's this for starters?"
Beark didn't speak. he had an look of utter amazement on his face. He then pulled himself together and said: "We should prepare to steal metal from Hyrule castle, then prepare to invade Gerudo fortress, and free our friends who are captured and take the Gerudo's weapons. In the mean time we should start training because only a group of around this size can be taken to infiltrate Hyrule castle, and we would need the best. Al of them reacted diffently, but most called out Aak's name to see how he'd react. Together they went home.
They had appeared as a infestation of stupid animals to the most naïve Kokiri, but none of them had dared to go outside, as the Schrubs used the more open Kokiri forest as their training grounds. To inspire each other they had exhibitions of possible fighting styles, but nothing good seemed to come out. At first Aak had been focused and showed some neat stuff, but when he looked up, and saw the place was empty he lost focus and fell.
"I think we'd better give him blunt blades". Deik said. Talp nodded, and cast a pitiful look at Aak who would have sliced his arms of in the fall if it hat been swords instead of sticks.
Meanwhile Beark was developing the equipment. Which took a lot of planning, since they had to be light but still protected. But if they were light in a Deku Schrub's point of view, would they still offer enough protection?
The morning before they would attack Narc took a pre-sunset strole through the forest. But he felt he wasn't alone. He heard the strange rustling his father had taught him. As he started to pay close attention to his surroundings he saw strange shadows everywhere, and they all seemed to move toward him. "This is stupid." He thought, he pulled himself together, and went home.
