" It's ok," she said. " they're here to pick up my dad. You know him, he probably sat down to rest for awhile and fell asleep." " Oh, well I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please proceed." said the guard as he bowed and opened the gate. Malon stayed at the entrance to wait for her dad and chew him out for being so late. The guard led the way through the winding path to the castle gates.
"Here we go, I have accompanied you this far, you won't have to worry about guards from here on in. But no sneaking off! We have guards everywhere in the castle courtyard. Just find Talon and get out!. Erm, Please." The guard then turned and walked back to his post. " Thank you!" yelled Naomi.
Link and Naomi both looked up at the castle before them. They just stood there for awhile, wide-eyed. Link was just starting to wonder that if you climbed all the way to the top if you could see their house from there when he heard some one snoring up-ahead. "Look Naomi, is that Talon you think?" " I think it is Link, lets go and wake him up!"
Naomi and Link walked over to the sleeping form known as Talon and stared down at him. "Hey, wake up!" Link yelled into his ear. Talon only snored louder and rolled over to his side. "HELLO!!! WAKE UP YOU LAZY..." Link was just about to kick the sleeping Talon when he suddenly felt the egg Malon had given them do something strange. " Uh, I think the egg is going to hatch! Look!" said Naomi, taking the egg from Link who still had his leg poised for an attack on Talon's side.
"You mean I don't get to kick him?" All he got as a response from Naomi was a glare and a swift smack to the back of the head. "Ow, geez I was only joking!" He said as he rubbed the back of his head. "It didn't hurt you baby." As Naomi held it in her hands the egg began to shake and crack, the egg shell began to fall away and in her had where the egg once was, was a little yellow chick.
" Uh...But didn't Malon say the crow would wake him up? This is just a little chick. Last I checked, chicks couldn't crow!" said Link as he poked the fluff ball in Naomi's hands. But then suddenly the chick began to grow! " Whoa, what kind of chickens do they raise on their ranch?! Radio active ones?" exclaimed Naomi. So they brought their new born rooster down close to sleeping Talon's ear and set him down.
The rooster pecked around for a bit, checking out it's surroundings. It finally realized the sleeping form beside it and began crowing and crowing, and crowing! It was hard to shut the thing up but Link and Naomi finally got the rooster quiet with a little persuading and the help of Link's hat. " Wha.. wha, what in tarnation is all that racket? Can't a guy get any shut- eye round here?" yelled Talon rather sleepily. " Yep, that's Malon's dad alright." said Link, ranch talk. " Who are you?" asked Talon seeing two young kids in front of him with a struggling chicken in a hat. Link quickly hid the hat behind him and gave a cheesy grin. "Uh, I'm Naomi." she said as she sidled closer to Link to help hide the chicken. " And I'm Link, Malon sent us to come get you, said she's tired of waiting and that you're way past your beauty sleep."
"Huh... Oh No! Malon! I forgot all about her, gee that was pretty bad of me leaving her behind to wait. Boy I'm gona catch it from her when I get back! Boy, I gotta run!" and he went running off down the path. " Ok, now that's that's done, how are we going to get in?" asked Naomi setting down the chicken which flew away rather hastily, it didn't like the hat too much. " You think we could fit thru that hole?" said Link looking at a small hole in the side of the castle, it had a small stream of water running right thru it down into the moat of the castle. It looked like it went right into the court yard.
"Well, let's find out." said Naomi walking past Link to the side of the moat ledge, right a crossed from the hole. "I don't think we can reach it from here." "Let's try using those milk boxes by stacking them and climbing on top. Then maybe we can jump a crossed." "Great idea Link!" so they pushed the boxes together and climbed up. Naomi climbed up first and jumped a cross and looked in. " It's going to be a tight squeeze, but I think we can do it. At least this time there are no nasty cob webs." said Naomi looking over at Link. They both made it in ok, a little damp, but all together ok and they slowly took in their surroundings.
They quitely walked in a bit further to see their first guards standing by some shrubbery. But getting past them was relatively easy. In fact they all seemed easy. " Geez, those were the king's mighty guards, I was expecting more." said Naomi a little disappointed, deprived of a challenge. "Yeah, so was I. That sucked! I could stand behind one of these dorks and do a little dance and they still wouldn't know I was there."
They moved ahead into the center court where they thought they could find a door to the inside of the castle and find the princess. When they walked into the main court they could hear a lovely tune playing softly in the background. They didn't see any guards all around the court, just a little girl standing by a window looking into the castle. She was turned around her back to them but when she heard footsteps behind her she turned in surprise. "Who, who are you?" asked the little girl shyly. "Uh, I'm Link. Pleased to meet you." He said with a bow, and Naomi could see a small blush come over the girls cheeks. "And I'm Naomi." she said in an annoyed tone, crossing her arms. Link picked up the tone in her voice and stood from his bow. He looked at Naomi and then to the princess and then back to Naomi. He had never seen Naomi like this and decided not to piss her off, so he stopped his flirting and went for smiling politely.
"Link?.. Naomi? Funny, the names seem so familiar... Your cloths, that fairy, you're from the forest aren't you?" Link and Nayomi both nod in agreement. " Oh I knew you would come! Tee hee! I had a dream, in the dream there were dark clouds everywhere, and then suddenly a bright light came. Two from the forest stud alone holding a bright and shinning stone that parted the clouds. You, do, have the stone, don't you?" she said all this with a burst of emotion, and when she asked about the stone the look on her face could have just broken your heart if you didn't have it. She smiled sweetly and looked hopingly at Link. Link couldn't hold back a blush *sweat drop action!* and began to back away from the princess. "Uh, um." "You mean this?" said Naomi with even more annoyance in her voice and Link swore he could see her hand shake with anger as she held up the stone for the princess to see.
""Is she, jealous?"" Thought Link as he watched her hand over the stone. He blushed a little ""I never knew that maybe Naomi liked me! I always thought she was really nice, and"" "OH Yes! That's it, that's it! Tee hee!" she said clapping her hands and interrupting Link's thoughts. " But be quick and put that away!" she said suddenly griped with fear. " Before HE sees it!" Naomi put the stone in a safe spot and they both gave her a questioning look." Oh, I'm sorry, I got so wrapped up in my story I forgot to properly introduce myself." and then she paused. " My name is Zelda Princess of Hyrule." she said this with great pride as well as a shy glance to Link.
"Before you came I was looking through that window." she said backing away so that they could see. " I was spying on a man, will you please look?...please quick, before he goes away!" so Link and Naomi walked up to the window and peered in. And then they saw a man clad in black armor, he looked as though he were a Gerudo. Hey, they both thought seeing the princess was major de`chavoo, this was nothing. The man was none other than the man in their dream. And then Naomi saw him start to move his head in their direction and quickly pushed Link down.
"OW, what was that for?" asked Link patting his backside from the hard fall on the concrete. " I don't like the way he looks, I just don't think he should see us." said Naomi shuddering. "That was Ganondorf. I believe that he represents the dark clouds in my dream. I tried to tell my father of my premonition, but he wouldn't listen. Ganondorf says he shows nothing but allegiance to my father, but I know he is not sincere." she paused. " What Ganon wants is none other than the Triforce, I'm sure of it. And if he succeeds he will lead this beautiful land of Hyrule into darkness." She had a deep look of sorrow on her face as she said this, but then suddenly hope shone through. " I know! We will stop Ganon from reaching the Triforce by beating him to it! We already have one of the spiritual stones, all we have to do is get the other two." there was that confused/questioning look again. " I will tell you the story of the Temple of Time. This should help to explane some things for you." and with this she tells the story of how the three golden goddess created the land of Hyrule and of the creation of the Triforce and where it rests and about the Ocarina of time, you know. " With the other two stones we will be able to open the door to the sacred realm, but we cannot open the gate without the Ocarina of Time. This legend has been passed down in our family for generations. With out the special ocarina you can't open the gate, so I will protect the ocarina with all my power while you two go get the other two stones. My nurse, Impa, will show you the way out, if you are seen there will be trouble, she will guide you safely out of the castle. Good bye, and good luck. Be safe, and hurry, Ganon draws ever near. Oops! I almost forgot!" then the princess started writing something down on a piece of paper. " Here, this will help you to gain entrance to the Death mountain path. Good bye!" then she gave them the letter and she gave Link a little 'good luck' kiss on the cheek. *More sweat drop action!*
Link stud dazed for a bit when he finally turned and looked at Naomi but she had quickly turned so he couldn't see her face. ""That stupid princess! Who dose she think she is? She doesn't even know Link. She thinks just cusp she's princess she can have whatever she wants, HA, try that again sister. You'll be sorry you ever messed with me!"" "Uh, Naomi?" Link put his hand on her sholder and turned her to face him. "What is it?" she asked sweetly and smiled.(Rurouni Smile!*) "Um, nothing." But he could tell something was wrong. They turned together to see a woman standing if front of the entrance to the court, the way they had come in. As they walked near, the woman smiled
" I am Impa, of the Sheikta. I am Zelda's nurse and protector. The princess said that my role in her dream was that I was to teach this melody to the two of the forest. I have played this song for the princess ever since she was very, very young. Only those of royal blood are aloud this tune, it will show your very connection with the royal family of Hyrule." and with that she brought her fingers to her lips and whistled Zelda's lullaby. {for you gamers, left up right, left up right.} It was beautiful. So Link and Naomi got their ocarinas and played the same tune. Then suddenly they realized that the song was all around them, that was the tune they were hearing in the background. " Come with me, I will lead you safely from the castle and tell you of the ware bouts of the next stone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The spiritual stone of fire Impa lead them out of the castle and into Hyrule field. She pointed them to the left of the castle. " If you go strait you will enter Kakariko village. That is the village I grew up in. It is at the foot of Death Mountain. If you travel up the path you will encounter the Goron people. They are rock people and the keepers of the spiritual stone of fire. Good luck, we're counting on you two." and after she said this she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"let's get going! this is so exciting! Link, Naomi, do you have any idea what all this means? We're going to save Hyrule! This must be what the great deku tree meant when he said it was your destiny to leave the forest. Just think of all the new friends we'll make! Not to mention the enemies, but enough of that, I just want you two to know I'm behind you all the way!...uh, where are you two going? The village is that way! Oh c'mon. let's go!" both Link and Naomi were going in the opposite direction of the village Imp had pointed out. " Navi, we have to go see our new friend Malon. You know, make sure her dad made it home safely and stuff. I'm sure she'd like to know what's going on. And I bet if we ever needed help or a place to stay, we could come and ask her." said Naomi.
" *sigh*, ok, fine but we can't take too long, OK!" When they made it to the ranch they could hear Malon singing in the center of the ranch where the horses ran and grazed. "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la- oh hey you two, did you get to see the princess?" "Yeah, and guess what, we have to help save Hyrule. Now I won't go into detail but some bad stuff is going down and we have to stop it!" said Link with a slight air of pride in his voice. "You have to save Hyrule!" said Malon in an awed whisper. "WOW!"
"Well, we have to go, there isn't much time." "Wait! I want to show you two of my best friends." said Malon. "Epona! Stormy! C'mon over here and meet my new friends!" Two young horses that were playing over to the left of where they were standing came trotting up to Malon. One was brown and had a white mane and tail, and a white patch on her face. This one was called Epona. The other was all black, well, all black but a white lighting shaped mark that started on his face, and ran through his mane, and branched off on to his back. This was Stormy. But when they saw Naomi and Link they ran away. "Hmm, I guess they're not used to you guys. I know! Epona loves this song! And then she sang the same beautiful song she was singing before.{ Epona's song, up right left, up right left} " Now you try it!" So Naomi sang Epona's song. Epona came galloping back, closely followed by Stormy. Epona seemed more fond of Link than Naomi and pushed her head against his and nuzzled him affectionately. Stormy being the more cautious of the two inched his was towards Naomi. She held out her hand and let him smell her, then she slowly walked closer and began to pet his back. " Did you like that song, my mother composed it. Now Stormy's favorite song. He always liked this song, I learned it from a woman in the Kakariko village. She said she found it on a grave stone there, it was writhen for the brother of a composer that served the royal family. It's called the 'Song of Storms' ." and then she sang this song.{ A down up, A down up} Naomi then sang this one. Slowly the nervous horse in her hands became more and more friendly until finally Naomi was on his back riding him in circles around Link, Epona and Malon. "Good, now that that's settled, when you both get older I'm sure that they will help you in your travels. They're still not broken in yet. Epona's one of our ranch horses, but we got Stormy in a trade with one of the Gerudos. We want to start raising Gerudo mustangs, they're known through-out Hyrule for their superiority over most horses. I'll have to hand it to them, those Gerudos know their horses." said Malon. "C'mon, lets go, we've got a lot to do." said Link. So they said their good-bye's and went on their way back to the village.
It was a cute little village. They walked all around looking at every thing. Then they saw a woman who looked very frustrated. "Um, can we help you in any way miss?" asked Link. "Oh, oh yes, please help me. My lovely coo coos{ chickens } got out of their pen, and I have allergies. When I touch them they give me goose bumps. Please could you go get my coo coos for me?" " Of course!" said both Link and Naomi. "Oh thank you so much!" so Link and Naomi split up and found all of the coo coos and got them safely into their pen, well, all but one. " Oh, thank you, but, um, I'm missing one. Please find it." so they looked all over and finally Naomi heard a box clucking over in the corner, so they found the last coo coo and brought it back to the Coo coo lady. " Thank you so much, you're both my hero's. Here I want you to have this!" and then she gave them a nice glass bottle. " It's fine glass so be careful mind."

" It's ok," she said. " they're here to pick up my dad. You know him, he probably sat down to rest for awhile and fell asleep." " Oh, well I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please proceed." said the guard as he bowed and opened the gate. Malon stayed at the entrance to wait for her dad and chew him out for being so late.

" I think it is Link, lets go and wake him up!"
Naomi and Link walked over to the sleeping form known as Talon and stared down at him. "Hey, wake up!" Link yelled into his ear. Talon only snored louder and rolled over to his side. "HELLO!!! WAKE UP YOU LAZY..." Link was just about to kick the sleeping Talon when he suddenly felt the egg Malon had given them do something strange. " Uh, I think the egg is going to hatch! Look!" said Naomi, taking the egg from Link who still had his leg poised for an attack on Talon's side.
"You mean I don't get to kick him?" All he got as a response from Naomi was a glare and a swift smack to the back of the head. "Ow, geez I was only joking!" He said as he rubbed the back of his head. "It didn't hurt you baby." As Naomi held it in her hands the egg began to shake and crack, the egg shell began to fall away and in her had where the egg once was, was a little yellow chick.
" Uh...But didn't Malon say the crow would wake him up? This is just a little chick. Last I checked, chicks couldn't crow!" said Link as he poked the fluff ball in Naomi's hands.

" Who are you?" asked Talon seeing two young kids in front of him with a struggling chicken in a hat. Link quickly hid the hat behind him and gave a cheesy grin.

" Ok, now that's that's done, how are we going to get in?" asked Naomi setting down the chicken which flew away rather hastily, it didn't like the hat too much. " You think we could fit thru that hole?" said Link looking at a small hole in the side of the castle, it had a small stream of water running right thru it down into the moat of the castle. It looked like it went right into the court yard.
"Well, let's find out." said Naomi walking past Link to the side of the moat ledge, right a crossed from the hole. "I don't think we can reach it from here."

"Well, we have to go, there isn't much time." "Wait! I want to show you two of my best friends." said Malon. "Epona! Stormy! C'mon over here and meet my new friends!" Two young horses that were playing over to the left of where they were standing came trotting up to Malon. One was brown and had a white mane and tail, and a white patch on her face. This one was called Epona. The other was all black, well, all black but a white lighting shaped mark that started on his face, and ran through his mane, and branched off on to his back.

It's called the 'Song of Storms' ." and then she sang this song.{ A down up, A down up} Naomi then sang this one. Slowly the nervous horse in her hands became more and more friendly until finally Naomi was on his back riding him in circles around Link, Epona and Malon. "Good, now that that's settled, when you both get older I'm sure that they will help you in your travels. They're still not broken in yet. Epona's one of our ranch horses, but we got Stormy in a trade with one of the Gerudos. We want to start raising Gerudo mustangs, they're known through-out Hyrule for their superiority over most horses. I'll have to hand it to them, those Gerudos know their horses." said Malon. "C'mon, lets go, we've got a lot to do." said Link. So they said their good-bye's and went on their way back to the village.
It was a cute little village. They walked all around looking at every thing. Then they saw a woman who looked very frustrated. "Um, can we help you in any way miss?" asked Link. "Oh, oh yes, please help me. My lovely coo coos{ chickens } got out of their pen, and I have allergies. When I touch them they give me goose bumps. Please could you go get my coo coos for me?" " Of course!" said both Link and Naomi. "Oh thank you so much!" so Link and Naomi split up and found all of the coo coos and got them safely into their pen, well, all but one. " Oh, thank you, but, um, I'm missing one. Please find it." so they looked all over and finally Naomi heard a box clucking over in the corner, so they found the last coo coo and brought it back to the Coo coo lady. " Thank you so much, you're both my hero's. Here I want you to have this!" and then she gave them a nice glass bottle. " It's fine glass so be careful mind."
