LEGEND OF ZELDA: HYRULE'S SECOND RELIC
CHAPTER FIVE:
They left early the next morning with a warm goodbye to Craven. The two knew that someday it would be like this, but now I was happening. Before the idea existed only in the corner of their minds. The first thing they had to do was travel to the Spirit Temple past the Gerudo Fortress and into the Desert.
Link rode Epona, and Katina had Bolt. Their packs were on and they were crossing Hyrule Field.
"I can't believe we're doing this." Link said, Navi hovering by his left ear.
"Neither can I . it seems only yesterday that I joined you and came to Hyrule for the first time . there's so much about this place . " Katina agreed.
"He's got faith in us all." Navi said.
"You know . there's still one thing that confuses me." Link said.
"What?" Katina asked.
"We never asked and you never said . but how did you get those injuries when you first got here?"
Katina sighed, her expression blank as she looked into the past. "It was a fight . and it was a long time ago. My training under Sodjin Arts was done. I should have been able to over come him . but he wasn't fighting fairly, I was foolish to think that he would . " Katina's eyes went back to the present. "It's the past, right? We have here and now to worry about. Maybe before we go, we should see Saria. She'll want to say goodbye just in case we don't get a chance to see her. If we turn over this way the Kokiri forest isn't that far from here."
Link looked at her for a long time. "Yeah, lets go then . how do you say that again?"
Katina chuckled, green eyes flashing. "It goes . YEE HA!" Katina pulled an impressive cowboy pose and Link copied and they rode off towards the Kokiri forest.
~********* AT THE KOKIRI FOREST ***********~
"Hey! Link's here!" The first blonde Kokiri squealed excitedly. "And Katina!"
The tiny child like people of the Kokiri wood rushed to meet the two. Mido stood stubbornly away.
"Where's Saria?" Link asked to the blonde haired Kokiri.
"She went into the Lost Woods." Came the reply.
Katina dismounted from Bolt and Link did the same. "Watch our horses, we'll give you a reward after, so think hard about what you want."
Then the two left and headed up to the Lost Woods. Inside they could hear Saria's song on her Ocarina. Saria was nowhere to be found.
"It's coming from this way." Katina said, nodding to the right.
"Then lets go!" Link said.
Navi fluttered out into the open. "Something feels . odd . "
Katina stopped, held her head high and straight and closed her eyes, senses open, she inhaled deeply for a moment, relaxing, and then her features dropped. "You're right. Something isn't quite . right."
"Lets follow it, maybe we'll see what's going on . " Links aid, and they ran on, listening and following where the music led them.
They were led to the Sacred Meadow start, in front of them were gates.
"Saria must be through there." Navi said.
"Then let's go." Link said, starting forwards.
From the grass a huge Wolfo appeared. Link pulled back and drew his sword.
"Something's definitely wrong!" Katina said, drawing Kina.
Link charged for it first, aiming for the head, and the Wolfo raised its claws to protect itself and the blade hit on solid and made sparks. Link attempted to get round it, but this one was agile, and quick, it flipped away.
Katina moved in to try and exploit a weak point but it slashed at her, she blocked with her sword, which sparked suddenly, reacting and attempting to protect Katina.
Link was airborne, his sword raised high and then he slashed into it, the Wolfo whimpered and flipped back, Katina and Link circled it. They struck at the same time, the Wolfo howled in pain, collapsed and evaporated away in blue smoke.
At the same time Link and Katina drew their blades, Kina sparked and then the power died away.
"What was that?" Katina asked. "It shouldn't be there, should it?"
" . And that means only one thing . " Navi said. "Evil is stirring."
Link and Katina looked at each other and nodded, running forwards, only to have to jump when something was fired at them.
"Mad Scrubs!" Navi called. "Repel their shots back at them, that should do the trick."
Link and Katina both pulled their shields onto their arms quickly and they started to kill the scrubs. They got to the end, and up a flight of stairs and at the top a huge giant was waiting for them, it pummelled it's hammer down and a shock wave ploughed through the ground and made the two have to retreat.
"What're we gonna do now, Navi?" Katina asked.
"We need some kind of projectile . " Navi mused.
"Neither of us have a bow and arrow . but I have an idea . " Katina said. "Lets see what we can do with a little lightening!"
Katina counted down in her head, charged out and then threw Kina at the feet of the giant and Kina exploded into white flames of lightening. The giant groaned and the crumbled away to dust, leaving rupees on the floor.
Katina walked over and retrieved her sword form the ground, Link followed, Navi hovering near.
"What ever is going on here . I think it has spread to the Temple." Navi said.
Katina stood studying the huge height up to the Temple, the sitars to it no longer existed crumbled away so they couldn't get to them.
Link was studying the little stump where Saria used to sit and play that song . his heart sank. The somebody jumped down and Link and Katina readied themselves for battle. They turned to see a half mummified person, with a little blonde hair sticking out and a strange suit, with a harp at their hip.
"Who are you?" Link asked.
"My name is Sheik . do not be afraid. I am here to help you on this quest." The person said. "Saria is trapped inside that temple, evil has taken her prisoner. You cannot get up to the Temple as it is, you must first go and find a treasure in Kakariko."
"Back to Kakariko?" Link repeated.
"Do you have any idea how long it took us to get here?" Katina added.
Sheik chuckled. "That is why I have a song to teach you, it will allow you to teleport right back here."
Katina nodded and got out her Ocarina, and Link took out the Ocarina of Time. Sheik played the Minuet of the Forest and then taught them, and as quickly as he'd gotten there, he was gone in a flash, like a deku nut being thrown at the floor.
"That . was very weird." Link said, and Katina nodded.
They ran out of the Lost Woods and then gave the Kokiri kids the rupees they'd earned as a reward, and took off for Kakariko village.
