And now for another fun filled chapter! Yay!
One of my friends was reading this and asked if I had made Naomi look like me on purpose. I hadn't realized I did it. _; Oh well, please enjoy.
++++++++++++++++++
"Well," said Link " we could ask Saira, maybe she might know where we can find a sword. She knows a lot about the history of the forest."
" Or, we could just ask her to ask Mido to let us in." they both thought this was funny, every one knew that Mido liked Saira, even Saira knew a little. So they walked back down to talk with Saira about the whereabouts of a sword.
As they walked down the path Saria could see the disappointment on their faces, she knew that they had failed to get past Mido. " That bum!" yelled Saira "YEAH," yelled Naomi " and to make it impossible for us to pass he said we can't until we have a sword and shield!"
"WHAT!?!? well," said Saira realizing she was a bit to loud when a few birds suddenly burst from the trees in fright and she quieted down a bit.. "well, you guys go and buy the shields at the Kokiri store, and I'll ask around about a sword. I think I heard something about a Kokiri sword once but I'm not sure."
" that's good saria, boy, mido's going to get it when I'm done talking to the deku tree, he should really learn to stop being so cocky." So they went their separate ways and looked for the items. "Don't worry about it Link, I already have enough rupees to buy shields for the both of us. I also have a fairy in a bottle, to help us if we get into to trouble. I've been saving them for a while, just incase."
They ran back to their house and Naomi broke open a pot where she had been putting her rupees. It looked like she had enough for the both of them for the rest of their lives. " I've been saving for as long as I can remember." said Naomi looking at the surprised look on Link's face and she went a bit pink. "This looks good" said Link heading for the door.
" Wait, I need to get the fairy." and with this she reached under her bed again and pulled out a nice little bottle with a small light inside. " I got the bottle from Saira, she said she got it in the lost woods somewhere, and I got the fairy in the Sacred Forest Meadow, there's a fairy fountain there beep in the middle." said Naomi. "Alright, lets go!" So off they went to the Kokiri store. " How may I help you?" asked a very short, and old looking kokiri clerk. ( which was unusual, because all Kokiri didn't look a day over ten)
"We'd like to buy two shields please." said Link. "Well well, that will be 80 rupees please, thank you." and he handed them their shields. As soon as they left the store they wanted to try them out. "Oh, I know, there's a deku shrub in the woods, lets go practice on him." said Naomi and they ran to the lost woods. Soon they found their deku shrub.
Then suddenly, 'Ding, ding' "What the heck was that?" "I think it was Navi, Link." " I have some advice for you. Hold up your shield and I'll help you to aim. The object is to bounce the seed it spits at you back at the shrub." So they pulled up their shields. Phult. Phult, (that's the seed coming out, just humor me) the deku spit two seeds, one at Link and one at Naomi. The seeds bounced off and, crack, crack, hit the deku shrub at the same time. Squeak! "Oh please, please, stop! If you spare me I will give you deku nuts.um.for FREE!" "Alright" (Now they had deku nuts yeah! Yeah deku nuts, um, what are they!?) "oh you guys got deku nuts, you can throw them at enemies to stun or blind them." Oh, that's good, now that we have that settled, lets get back to the story.
So when they were done playing around and after much harping from Navi to get to the Great Deku Tree they returned to the village. "Hey, where have you two been?" called out Saira. " Oh well, it doesn't matter. I found out about a sword. There's good and bad news. The good news is that the sword is somewhere here in the village. The bad news is, there's only one." "Oh," said Naomi, this might be a problem.
"Link you should have it, I'm sure Mido will let me in anyway." " Are you sure?" 'nod' "OK! Lets go, where did you say it was Saira?" "Well Link, I heard there's a secret passage up near the training grounds." " Lets go." Saria walked with them up to the training grounds. " Good luck you two!"
""where to look, where to look?"" " Hey, hey, Link, look over here!" Naomi had found a small hole in the wall that they could crawl through.
"It's no wonder nobodies found it, look at all the spider webs, who would want to go in there?" said Naomi, shuddering a little bit, she was none to fond of spiders. They didn't scare her she just didn't like the thought of crawling through their webs and/or them. " Ladies first" said Link trying to be polite, and not knowing Naomi really didn't want to go first, he bowed in Naomi.
He had obviously not seen how bad the webs were. They both made it through and heard a weird rumbling noise. "Uh, Link", "not now Naomi, I'm looking for the sword." " Uh, Link I don't think this can wait!" " Hold on a sec!" " LOOK OUT, LINK!!!" just as she said this she pushed him out of the way of a huge boulder that came rumbling towards them.
" Whoa, that was close,.uh..thank you Naomi, heh, heh." " You're welcome." ........ " Oh, hey look over there, it's a." " A CHEST!!" yelled Link. Looking both ways, as not to be smushed by the rock, they ran to the chest. " open it Link!! It could be the sword, then we can get to the deku tree, I'm sure he's tired of waiting!" The chest was big, it was about as tall as Link, so he had to lean in all the way just to get what was at the bottom. When he finally pulled himself out he had the sword. It was beautiful. Plain yes, but very beautiful. It had a dark wood handle and a red jewel in the middle. Simple but stylish. Link swished it through the air, it made a whooshing noise, and some how he had a feeling that it just belonged to him. " Well lets go, I can't wait to see the look on Mido's face when he sees this baby!" said Link as he gazed at the kokiri sword.
They made their way back through the hole past the training ground, well, actually, Naomi had to drag Link away from the training ground, he was having too much fun with his new toy, all the way to the entrance where the great deku tree rests. Mido looking more cheerful than usual called out to Link "No luck yet on finding a sword No Fairy Boy, oh, too baaaa.." But he never finished. Link had just flashed the kokiri sword in Mido's direction. "Wha, Wha, What in the world is THAT!?!?!" screamed Mido his eyes were the size of dinner plates.
"Oh, this? This is my Kokiri sword, do ya like?" "WHAT!?!? Oh, 'sigh', Naomi, .. just ,go on ahead. Link I want to talk to you." " See ya soon Link." said Naomi, very glad to go, she was having a hard time stifling her laughter at the look on Mido's face. She waved buy and ran down the path to the great deku tree. " Oh, humph, how did you get to be Saira's, Naomi's and the Great Deku Tree's favorite, geezzz!!!" and with that he stomped off. ""how. how, how could he be every one's favorite? Is he nicer? Well, yeah, but who cares about that? Is he more important? Pish, yeah, right. Could it be that he is better look.. Gasp!!! No..No, he could never look better than I, the Great Mido!""
" 'sigh' finally, come on Link, who knows how long the deku tree has been waiting!" Link and Navi then went down the path together to see The Great Deku Tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside The Deku Tree
Naomi was sitting waiting for them on a small mound of earth. She was about to ask Link what Mido had wanted to say when the Great Deku Tree spoke. " Navi, thou hast returned! I thank you Link, Naomi. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full of nightmares for the both of you. A vile climate pervades over this world. Verily, ye have both felt it. The time has come to test thine courage. I have been cursed. I need you both to dispel of the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared?"
"Yes, we're ready." said Link with an encouraging glance from Naomi. "Then enter. Navi the fairy." "yes deku tree?" " Go with them Navi and aid them with your words of wisdom. Please be cautious." and with that he opened what looked to be his huge mouth. They entered.
It was huge! Up at the top you could see giant cob webs. "Well, where do we start?" asked Link. "Well, lets start with those, uh, I think those are deku babas." said Naomi
"you're right naomi, those are deku babas. When ever you hear me, listen, I may be able to help you. When we find an enemy I will help you to aim so that you're more accurate, I will also give you any information on the enemy that I know of. For this wait until it strikes, then hit it, it will be stunned, but only for a short time, so rush in and hit it again to beat it." chimed Navi. There were four of them and they quickly fell. In each place there was a stick. " those are deku sticks, you can hit your enemies with it sometimes killing it right off, but they break very easy. They also burn easy too, but not for long."
Now they have sticks, yippee, you can hit things with them! Since Naomi didn't have a sword Link gave her the Deku sticks. Then they found a ladder. One by one they climbed, and when they reached the top they ran to the north. They had come to a place with vines on the wall. "hey! these vines make a perfect place to climb!" good idea Navi!
"But Navi, what are those, they don't look to friendly." said Naomi pointing at a small spider looking thing. It had what looked like a skull on it's back and was much larger than your run-of-the-mill spiders you fond in your house. " oh, that, that is a, um, that's a skulltula. If you start to climb and one sees you it will charge. So watch out!"
"Uh why don't we go this way first, we might find something to nock them down with." said Naomi a little nervously and she hurriedly pushed Link onward. So they continued down the path. They came to a door. " Lets go inside." When they were both in Naomi heard Link shout " WHOA, SHIELD, SHIELD, PULL UP YOUR SHIELD!" because there in the center of the room was a deku shrub they hadn't seen and had almost stepped on.
Phult, CRACK, SQUEAK. "Ow, wow, ow, oh please stop, if you stop I'll teach you something cool. If you roll at the end of a big fall your roll will absorb the shock of the fall. But it doesn't always work, if the fall is too high, then, well, you know, heh heh. Well try it if you're feeling bold." SQUEAK, and he ran off leaving behind two hearts.
" What dose the heart thingy do?" said Link as he picked up a heart. Suddenly he felt rejuvenated, Naomi too felt the power washing over her as she held the tiny heart in her hand. " Oh, I get it, the hearts heal you, good thing to keep in mind for when we get the crap beat out of us. *sigh *" " Look," said Naomi "a door just opened, lets go inside, and try not to be so negative!"
In the next room there was a block just floating in the center. "Look, a chest!" said Link, it was just on the other side. "So I guess you jump on the block and then on to the other side. Doesn't look too stable though."
So they both jumped on the block and heard a rumbling noise, then the block started to shake. "Quick, jump!!" yelled Link as he pushed Naomi to the safty of the other side. Just as they jumped to the other side the block fell and smashed on the ground.
"I'll get it this time." said Naomi recovering from slight scare. She was leaning over the side trying to get the item from the bottom, and she almost fell in. When she pulled herself out she had two things in her hands. " Cool, slingshots!" said Link taking his.
" Yeah and there's two of them, no sharing! Oh, oh no, how will we leave now? There's no way we can jump far enough to reach the door and the block is gone. How are we going to get outta here!?" said Naomi, one of her worse fears was being trapped, anywhere. 'Ding ding' "hey look" Navi was hovering over a ladder up on the wall.
Naomi took aim and shot the ladder down. "Lets go" she said with a sigh, happy to find a way out of there. In a few minuets they were back on the path and heading for the vines. With their new slingshots they shot down the sultanas with great ease. One of the skulltulas gave them deku seeds. (that's what you use with your slingshot)
Another gave them more deku nuts, and the last one gave them rupees. So they climbed the vines. " 'phew!', made it." sighed Naomi. "What is THAT!?!"
"that is a giant skulltula, wait till it turns and shows it's soft belly. Then strike, but watch out, they like to spin." Then suddenly it began lowering itself, low enough to hover just above the ground, growling as it went. Link rushed forward and got a little to close. He went flying about three feet backward and hit the wall. When he landed he just lay there, face on the ground. Naomi screamed and ran forward to help Link. She turned him over and saw that he was unconscious. "Link! Link! Please answer me! Please Link wake up! Plea." Link had suddenly sat up and began rubbing his head, wincing in pain." I guess I got a little too close didn't I?" he said laughing and still rubbing his head.

What'd ya think? There's plenty more where that came from! Just R&R.
