Chosen Ones
"Well done young ones." said the Great Deku Three. " And Naomi, even though the odds were against you, ye pulled through and I am very proud of you. Both of you. But I am afraid that you both shall go through these kinds of dilemmas many a time after this, each one harder than the last. So to make your quest some easer, here you are Naomi." Then the deku tree gave Naomi the curved double blades. "I have been saving those for ye for quite some time, they were given to me by a woman of the desert, a GERUDO long ago. But they will be in much better use with you. Though both your efforts had been successful and the curse has been lifted, I was doomed even before you started. I shall pass on soon. But not before I tell you of how I came to be this way. A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse on me. Using his vile, sorceous powers, the evil one is searching for the sacred realm. (then he goes on saying just about all the stuff at the very beginning, you know, about the three goddesses) He is searching for the sacred Triforce, thou must never allow him to enter the sacred realm, thou must never let that evil man lay a hand on the Triforce. Go now to Hyrule Castle. There ye will surely meet the princess of DESTINY. Present this stone to the princess, I have foreseen that she will understand everything."
And with that he gave them the SPIRITUAL STONE OF THE FOREST. " I. entreat ye .Navi, GOOD. BYE!!!" and then he passed. The leaves about his proud head began to wither and fall down around them. It was a sad sight, someone so kind and thought to be life itself had just passed on before them. Their "Father", the kind, and gentle Deku Tree. Both Link and Naomi bowed before him to honor his death. "We'll never forget you,..Great Deku Tree." said both Link and Naomi at once.
" good bye, great deku tree, SNIFF!" " Come on Navi, he wouldn't want you to cry for him." said Naomi gazing at the great old tree. " Yeah,...Lets go." said Link, with a touch of sorrow in his voice. They went slowly down the path back to the village, not looking forward to what they would have to tell their friends, and the whole forest.
THE PRINCESS OF DESTINY
When they got back Mido was waiting for them at the entrance, he wanted to know what the Deku Tree had wanted them for. When he saw the sadness on their faces he wondered what in the world could have happened. But then he heard Navi say " Oh poor deku tree, I'll miss him sooooo, *SNIF*, much. Why, why did this have to happen?" "Navi don't cry, like I said, he wouldn't want you to cry for him." this from Naomi. ""the Great Deku Tree.Dead? That can't be!"" "So what did the Deku Tree want?" said Mido".. he isn't dead, is, he? *GASP*!! You killed him!!!" "We did not Mido, we tried to help him, but.." " Well, you didn't try hard enough!" said Mido. "Mido!! Shut up and let me finish! He said he was doomed even before he called on us! It doesn't matter how hard we tried, he was going to die anyway!!!" screamed Naomi, she was crying as she said this.
" There was nothing we could do, so stop fighting about it!" yelled Link "Come on Naomi, we need to go to the castle." "YOUR LEAVING!?!? Are you nuts, you know the rule, any Kokiri that leaves the forest dies!"
"Mido," said Naomi, "the great deku tree told us to go to the castle to find the princess, he said it was our destiny to leave the forest." " Oh,.. Well when every one asks, I tell them what you said, sorry I blamed you, I know you tried your best." after Mido's surprising apology they headed to the bridge that leads out of the forest.
They got half way across it when Saira appeared. " I,..I, I knew one day you two would leave the forest, I don't know how, I , I just did." Saira looked very sad, but of course you would too if your best friends were leaving, maybe forever. "But that's ok, because we'll always be friends, won't we? Here, I want you to each have one, there OCARINAs, I hope you won't forget me, and please come back to visit,... you will, won't you?" "Of course we will." said Link reassuringly patting her on the shoulder. "Always." said Naomi as she ran up to hug her best friend. After that they turned and left.
There were still some trees around them on the outside of the forest but it was getting thinner and thinner. Finally they reached the edge of the forest. On the ground was a white line that only the bravest of Kokiri would dare even touch. They both stud there, staring down at the line. Every once in a while they would look at each other for some reasurement. Link took the first step forward. He toed the line gingerly and with a deep breath stepped completely over. Standing there with his eyes closed and still holding his breath he heard Naomi say "Are you dead yet?" He opened one eye and then slowly the other one. Then he let out his breath and jumped around in circles. "I'm alive I'm alive!" He continued to dance in circles and came up and grabbed Naomi and they danced around together on the other side of the line, right out into the clearing. They had just stepped out into the clearing when they heard a voice. They stopped there dancing and looked up to see an owl. A very large owl.
"HOOT HOO, hello there. I have been watching you for some time and it seems you both have a big adventure ahead of you. If I can, I will help you along the way. When you see me don't fear, I am hear to help you. You will have many hardships along the way, but don't be discouraged. Just keep trying. You're looking for the castle aren't you? Just keep heading north and if you lose your way use this map I have for you." and then he released a map from his talons, which floated down to their feet. " I will always be here to help you, well, not right here, I'll move around an everything, oh, just when you see me I'll probably have some information for you. Good-bye! HOOT HOOT HO!" and then he flew off leaving the two of them slightly confused.
"Since when do owl's talk?" asked Naomi. "Probably around the time they started getting so darn huge."said Link. " Lets see what's on this map." said Naomi picking it up. "He's right, all we have to do is go straight." " But we better hurry, it's getting dark, and I've never been out here in the dark." " Well, duh, we've never even been out here period." said Naomi. " You have a point there, come on lets hurry!"
They both pulled out their swords, neather one really knowing what was a head of them, and ran onward. They could just see the castle, but then the sun was just going down, and all of a sudden, the bridge to the castle was lifting. " Oh, .sh-!" yelled Naomi, "We were too slow!" said Link, interrupting Naomi. After seeing if they could sneak in some way, and without much success, they decided to go to the ranch to see if they could stay the night. It was kinda scary out there in the dark so they ran their little legs off toward the ranch.
In the midst of all there running Link heard a strange noise behind them. " What the," said Link turning around. "Huh?! What the heck is that?! Uh, Naomi, I think we're being followed." " What makes you say that Link?" said Naomi turning around to see what Link was so worked up about. Then she saw these ugly skelington things walking right behind them. They weren't very fast, but they didn't seem too friendly. "Look Out Link! That ones going to attack you!" and sure enough the thingy put it's claws in the air ready to strike, but then Naomi came rushing in with her double swords and chopped their heads off. "Phew, that was close!" said Naomi wiping the sweat off her face. " Uh Naomi,"
" Yes Link?" "Look Behind you!" when she turned around she could see those ugly things coming at them, but only without their heads. " GEEZZZZ, what does it take to kill these guys!" said Naomi, as she went back to work on their undead enemy, she seemed to be a natural with the Desert Blades. Finally after much chopping from both Link and Naomi they were dead. They both ran into the safety of the ranch just as two more of those things popped from the ground. But the things didn't seem to be able to come within the ranch, which was a good thing. When they were in the ranch nobody seemed to be there. ""Well, it is late at night"" thought Naomi as they looked around.
Soon they were too tired to keep looking for any help so they found a nice soft spot in the hey just out side the barn and had, well actually considering the what's been going on, had a good nights rest. But then the next morning they had a most unwelcome wake up call. *YAWN! YAWN!*, "Boy what a good night, I sure slept good, how 'bout you Naomi?" Said Link stretching and just opening his eyes. When he opened his eyes he was expecting to see Naomi, but what he saw was a pitch fork aimed right in- between his eyes. " What is a little rat like you do'n in the hey?" asked the holder of the pitch fork. "Uh, *Gulp!* Uh we were trying to get away from the skellington things, and, and the bridge to the castle was closed, and we thought that maybe someone here could" "INGO!" screamed a little girl about their age. " What in tarnation are you doing pointing that pitch fork at his head? Have you know manners?!"
"I found this little snot sleeping in the hey, and did he ask permission, no, this ante no inn! Maybe we should charge him. And besides, he could have spooked the horses, or worse, the cows, then we wouldn't get any milk! You never know, he might be think'n 'bout stealing some chickens and" " Oh, Ingo, just put the pitch fork down. Does it look like he stole any chickens? And look, the cows seem just fine to me." " mumble, mumble,..mumble mumble" " Ah, quit your mumbling!" and Ingo slumped away mumbling as he went. " Hello, my name's Malon, and your on Lon Lon ranch the only ranch in all of Hyrule, Welcome."
" Thanks," He looked around but he didn't see Naomi anywhere in the hay. "Where's Naomi." " Oh, yeah she told me about you, she got up early to help with the chores. She told me all about how you need to get to the castle, I'm goin down to the castle too. We can all go on down together. Me and my pa went down to deliver milk the other day and I guess he fell asleep somewhere, that's just like him. I know! Yall can help me find him. I came back so I could get a decent nights sleep. I was tired of waiting at the gate for him to come back" "Hey!" it was Naomi calling from in the fenced in area of the ranch, she had just got done brushing the horses.
"*Phew* I did enough chores to last for the both of us Link." " Oh, you know you could have woken me up, I would have helped you out." " Don't worry Link, you just looked so peaceful there, snoring and drooling in the hay, I couldn't bring myself to wake you up, and besides, I love it here! I didn't mind at all doing most of the work!" said Naomi whirling in a circle and taking in the clean air, not that the forest wasn't clean, mind you.
"Well come on, lets quit jawing it and go get some breakfast!" said Malon, they all agreed, Link and Naomi were hungry they hadn't had anything to eat since the day before they went inside the Deku Tree. Breakfast was delicious, pancakes and eggs, with all the milk you could drink. After breakfast they headed off to the castle together. It only took then a short time to reach the castle " Malon, we have something real important to do first, when we're done we'll come back and help you Ok?" Link and Naomi went walking towards the castle, and so did Malon. " Uh, Malon, we kinda have to do it alone." said Link. "Oh, well I'm not following you on perpous, my dad went you to the castle to deliver the milk you see? Oh, are you going to the castle too, then here, take this, you can help me as you do what ever you're doing." then she gave them an egg, " I've been incubating that very carefully, it should hatch by the time you find my dad, the crow will wake him up, tee hee! Coo coo's just love to wake people up."
So they took the egg and Malon waited for them by a wall with little vines growing all over on it. " HOOT,HOOT, Hey there, look up here!" called a familiar voice. So they looked up in a tree, and there was the owl. "HOOT, you've come to see the princess haven't you, well you'll have to be sneaky, they've upped security lately, so you'll have to sneak past the guards to get to the court yard where the princess plays. Well good luck, you'll need it!" and then he flew away out of sight. "Well, isn't this just great!" said Naomi. " First it's big spiders, now we get to do some breaking and entering! What's going to happen if we get caught?" " Well, we just won't get caught, that's all." said Link. "Link, these people do this for a living, they protect the KING!, they're the best of the best, are you saying we're just going to just waltz up there and sneak past, unnoticed?"
"Uh, Yeah." "Oh,.. Ok lets go. I mean, you only live once." They were looking around for a way in when they saw the vines. "Lets climb up those," suggested Naomi "they shouldn't be to much different from the ones inside the deku tree." So as they were trying to climb up this one vine Malon said " What? What are y'all doing? Just tell that guard that you're here for Talon, tell them Malon sent you. I'm sure they'll let you in." So Link and Naomi stopped their climbing and walked to the gate, " Um, excuse me sir." said Naomi in as sweet a voice she could muster, ""They'll let a sweet little innocent girl go through, won't they?"" "We're here to get Talon, Malon sent us to get him when he didn't come home last night." This response from the guard.
"Sorry, kids, but I have to see her for myself, you could just be trying to get in and see the princess for all I know." He was looking at Link "She is pretty popular with the boys you know" " Yeah, Heh,heh, you never know,heh heh, better safe than sorry, I guess." said Link rather nervously.
" HEY, MALON! They won't let us in could you come over here and tell them we're to get your dad!" And soon they could see Malon come over from around the corner.
