"Big brother! How the heck are you gonna pull this off!" Aryll said
frustrated. "Why do you always gotta rush into things!"
"Because that's who I am." Link said calmly.
"Ohh...fine! Just don't get hurt!" Aryll said.
"Yeah, I doubt anything will happen, but if it does, I guess it does, I haven't really planned this far ahead." Link said rubbing his head with that trademark grin.
"Oh, please don't say that! Sometimes I just like to think you have a plan." Aryll said sighing.
"I'll think up something... I always do!"
"Yeah I suppose. Well... good luck!"
"Thanks! I'll see you later!" Link said as he rode off to the mountain in the southern swamp.
****************************************************************
"This must be the place..." Link said looking ahead of him."Sure is creepy!"
"You there!" said a strange looking deku guard."What buisiness have you on our master's mountain!"
"Uh, looking for a job?" Link said slowly.
"Phph! Yeah right! Hey guard 217, get a load of this guy! He wants a job!"
"Ha! Looks like another one of those poor saps got thirsty! Well we can give you a job..." guard 217 said.
"Thanks! Where do I work!" Link said under in his deku mask he had put on when he left the palace.
"Hold on there pal! We can't just give a job to any old bloke that wanders up here, you got to prove yourself worthy first!"
"Worthy?"
"Yeah... you have to pass a test first!"
"What test?"
"Follow us, and we'll show you."
***********************************************************
"Okay, the test is you have to kill that deku scrub over there!"
"Why?" Link asked apalled.
"Because he also wants a job. And we never said everyone makes it in."
"The rules are simple;" the deku guard said. "You both must try to get this vial of water." he said setting down a vial on a tall podium in the middle. "Whoever is more thirsty, will likely get the vial. Ready? Begin!"
The young deku scrub across from Link charged up the podium. "My w-water!"
"Ohh, no you don't!" Link said jumping to the top faster than the other scrub. "I need this way more than you!"
"N-no you don't understand! I haven't had a drink in days! In a few hours I may whither away!"
"Well I don't know...." Link said turning his back.
Then the scrub smirked evily, "Gotcha!"
"Hmm?" Link said turning his head.
Then Link fliped himself behind the scrub, who accordingly fell to the ground.
"M-my water..." the scrub said sinking into unconciousness.
"Hmm, he isn't dead! Looks like we got to kill him ourselves guard217." said guard218.
Link then looked at the water. "Isn't water supposed to be clear?" Link said looking at the slightly vevet water. "Wait a minute! This must be that cursed water! I'd better toss it out." Link said pouring it to the ground.
"Hey, I'll take care of him!" Link said trying to sound evil.
"Hmm, okay, kill him!" guard217 said. "We'll return to our post."
Then the guards left.
"Hey, scrub! Open your eyes!" Link said.
"W-water?" the scrub said weakly.
"No, it's me, your opponent, remember?"
"Oh, You won right? I suppose then you drank the water?"
"No, I poured it out."
"What?! Do you know how hard it is to gain that water!"
"Shh! You don't want them to hear us! Now listen! That water was curseded."
"Cursed?"
"Yes, cursed, it transforms you into a evil deku scrub, your woody skin turns into a dark, dark brown, then your eyes shine an evil purple, then your leaves turn brown, and lastly all you can remember is to serve your master, Odolwa!"
"Odolwa! Not again!"
"Yes again, unless you let me stop him."
"How will you do that?"
Link then took off his mask.
"Like this!" Link said proudly.
"Your... the hero!"
"No, but I will be." Link said putting his mask back on. "Now I'm gonna smuggle you out, so don't make a sound!"
Then Link walked over to the door he came through.
"Now run! And tell the queen I'm in!"
"Yes sir!" the deku scrub said running down the mountain.
"Now, I must defeat Odolwa..." Link said walking back into the entrance. "...No matter what!"
**********************************************************
Meanwhile back at the palace...
"Queen, queen!" a deku guard said.
"What is it?" the queen asked.
"A deku scrub from the dam has brought news!"
"Quickly send him in!"
"Queen... I.... have news from.... Link."
"Yes, what did he say?"
"He... said that... he is in."
"Oh, he made it! Quickly guards prepare a feast for our messenger! He must have some payment for his deed!"
"Yes queen." and the guards ordered the cooks to prepare a feast.
**************************************************************************** ****
Back up the mountain, we find Link at his new job, chief observer.
"Any intruders guard765?" guard117 asked Link.
"No nothing has happened as of yet! But I'll keep you posted!"
"Aye, good work!" said the guard as he walked off.
"Man, the work around here is dreadful! I'd better hurry this mission up! Hmm... let's see, the dam is a simple complex, not to intricate, yet not a simplistic cave, it covers the entire mountain top, to inner walls, one outer wall, with plenty of passages inbetween. Then we got the central courtyard, surrounded by the north, south, east, and west courtyards, with a huge temple in the middle. I haven't gotton the inner part of the dam's floorplan yet. I hate it when there are to dungeon maps to a place!" Link pondered.
"Hey, 765! What are you doing?!" guard456 asked angrily.
"Uh... mapping the place so I don't get lost?" Link said smiling desperately.
"Hmm.... okay! Pretty smart of you. I've gotton lost around here many times. Here take this map, it shows the temple's floorplan as well as the outerwall's. Don't get lost!" guard456 said walking off.
"....How...convenient..." Link said looking at the guard as he hobbled away.
"Now back to my plan, I go in the southern courtyard here, turn left at the mousaleum, sneak past a few guards, possible skirmish, hop across the moat, and into the central courtyard, sneak past a few more guards, walk into the temple, andinto the inner sanctum, to meet Odolwa. Simple as... hard."
"Now I just need to find the time to carry out this plan. Let's see, my shift ends at ten, so I'll wait until then. Too bad, it's 12 in the afternoon."
****************************************************************************
"I hope my big brother is okay," Aryll said in the throne room, of the deku's palace.
"Don't worry, he's made it out of worse scrapes, all you got to do is trust him and all will be fine." Tetra said.
"I hope so..." Aryll said worried.
"There you go again! Weren't you listening? Have faith.
"I'm trying..."
"Oh, I'm sure, but try not to think of what will happen to him, and think of what is happening to him."
"Gasp!" Aryll gasped.
"Whoops, that didn't come out right..." Tetra said.
**************************************************************************** **
Now we find Link approaching the inner sanctum.
"Man, those guards are tough! It took 10 fire arrows to silence them!"
"Now let's see, walk left, right, right, left, left, right, left, right, right, right, left, to get to the sanctum... sigh! Another maze!"
So Link walked on, turning as instructed until he finally got to the sanctum doors.
"Finally here! That took hours! But I've finally made it... the inner sanctum!" Link said beholding the massive doors.
"Now too walk inside." said Link as he approached the doorway. "Let's see, turn the knob and...OUCH!" Link yelled as he looked at what he thought was a doorknob.
"A skullata. Definently a skullata. Why can't these dungeons ever have any kind of real light, in them! Yeah, okay you've got those dinky little torches, that make shadows dance around, but it sure does kill you eyesight! Mistaking a skullata for a doorknob for instance, madness!" Link ranted. " And another thing..." Link started before he was interupted by a loud roar.
"Hello? Anything there?" Link said weakly.
Then Link felt a loud shaking, the kind ou'd expect, from a heavy foot step.
"Hellooo...?"
-thump"-
"Heloo...?"
-thump, thump"-
"Rrrrrr, show yourself!"
Then out from the shadows came a creature Link had never seen before...
"What is that thing?" Link thought. "It looks like a beamos with arms and legs- zoom!- and fires lasers also... What is this-wait a minute... what's this say...
"He who intrudes upon this place, will be hunted by the eyegore."
"What's an eyegore?" Link thought.
-zoom-
"Probably that thing!" Link said looking up at the eyegore.
"Well here we go!" Link said.
And off he went to defeat the eyegore.
"Because that's who I am." Link said calmly.
"Ohh...fine! Just don't get hurt!" Aryll said.
"Yeah, I doubt anything will happen, but if it does, I guess it does, I haven't really planned this far ahead." Link said rubbing his head with that trademark grin.
"Oh, please don't say that! Sometimes I just like to think you have a plan." Aryll said sighing.

And off he went to defeat the eyegore.
