Chapter 3: The Necklace Hunt

Zelda awoke in a cold sweat. She looked around, finding herself still in Gerudo Valley. She sighed, relived that it was a dream. She slowly got up, her head killing her. She looked around, just making sure Jolt wasn't there. No sign of him. Zelda picked up her bag and Link's. Zelda sighed, hoping Link was okay. She walked out of Gerudo Valley. She begin to think about her dream the night before. Something then hit her.

"Wait a minute," she cried to herself. "Maybe the necklaces is the only thing that can destroy him. Maybe thats what my dream meant!!!" Zelda headed straight for Karkiriko Village, or what was left of it. Zelda started up Death Mountain, torward Goron City. Fortunatly, Jolt hadn't reached the area yet, so everything was peaceful. Zelda clumbed the mountain, surprised that it wasn't that steep. She quickly made it to the Goron's resting place. Zelda entered and was awed at the size of the town. Zelda clumbed downstairs, trying to remember what Link told her after he collected the Goron's Ruby. 'Remember, the last floor through the back door. Their you will find Dariuna, the one who gave me the stone, and a broken back!!' Zelda laughed to herself as she remembered Link's words. Zelda quickly made it downstairs and through the far door. She saw the big Goron. Daruina smiled at her.

"So, the princess of Hyrule decides to join us," Dariuna grinned.

"Uh.....yes." she stammered. She remembered Link and Jolt and came to her senses. "I am searching for a necklace, a special necklace." Zelda quickly remembered the stone from her dream. "It had a red stone in it and was in the shape of the sun. Do you know anything about it?"

Daruina frowned. "Yes," he muttered. "What need?" Daruina saw Zelda face turn pale. "Has evil returned to Hyrule?" Zelda nodded. "Very well then. Daruina pointed through the opening behind him. "It is in that cave. If you can find it, it's yours. But it is extremly hot. You need a Goron's Tunic." Zelda quickly remembered Link's red tunic in his bag.

"Like this one?" She dug it out and held it up. Dariuna smiled, relived.

"Yes that one." Dariuna's face again became stern. "Now, hurry child, find the necklace and save Hyrule!!!" Zelda understood and ran through the opening.

Zelda gasped at the hottness of the pit. She quickly slipped on the tunic and felt better. She ran across the hot pit and was quickly attacked by bats. Zelda yelled and drew Link's sword. Slinging it, she easily destroyed the bats. Zelda ran into the opeing inside the pit. She panted. She looked around after catching her breath, trying to see where she was. Across the room, Zelda spotted the necklace. She sighed and ran over. She reached for it and was dumbfounded when her hand went straight through it. Confused, she tried again, only to get the same results. All of a sudden, the gem disappered. A noise came from behind her. Zelda quickly turned around, only to see a giant creature known as the Dodongo. Zelda screamed and quickly found somewhere to hide. Finding a rock, Zelda squited down and looked past the rock. 'How did Link say he beat this thing?' Zelda thought. Then it came to her. 'All I did was throw a bomb at it. It went straight in it's mouth! It started acting werid and then fell. I slashed it with my sword and soon I won!!' Zelda grabbed a bomb and ran up to the creature. Zelda waited for it's mouth to open and threw the bomb in. Zelda quickly ran for cover. The bomb exploded. Zelda drew a sword and slashed the dodongo. The dodongo felt the pain and quickly got up. Zelda reached for another bomb. She threw it in it's mouth, doing this over and over. Finally, Zelda threw one last bomb. The Dodongo fell over, screaming. Zelda looked on and slashed her hardest at the beast. The Dodongo let out a yell and fell over dead. Zelda dropped to the ground and relaxed. She waited a moment and got up. Looking over, she saw the necklace hanging on the wall. Zelda laughed and grabbed it. Behind her, she heard a faint humming noise. She drew her sword and turned around. A blue light had formed where the Dodongo fell. She stepped in the light and felt her body tingle. She closed her eyes and the next thing she knew, she was outside, standing in front of the entrance of the volcano. Zelda looked to her left. An opening caught her eye. She stepped into the area and found herself in front of a fountain. She remembered that Link told her a fairy was on Death Mountain. She grabbed the Orcarina of Time and played a familer melody. When she ended the song, a beautiful fairy came out of the fountain. "What desire do you have from me?" the fairy of the fountain asked. Zelda thought for a moment.

"I wish to have the Necklace of the Forest." Zelda said. The fairy looked at her with grief.

"Sorry, a task must be fullfilled before I give this to you," the green necklace flouted above the fary.

Zelda wasn't about to give up. "What do I have to do?"

"You must go to Koriki Forest and find the one surviver. Then you bring him to me. That is when I shall give you this sacried jewel." Zelda agreed to it and hurried off. She stopped at Lon Lon Ranch to pick up her horse, Cream. She hopped on her horse and headed south torward Koriki Forest. Leaving Cream at the entrance, Zelda hurried inside.

Meanwhile in the depths of the Gerudo Desert,

"This girl is better than I thought..." Jolt told himself. He sat in a small room, a crystal ball in front of him, watching Zelda's every move. In the far cornor, a small boy in green hung in the air by his arms. It was Link.

"Yeah," Link shouted. "Alot more couragious than you, you coward!" Jolt turned around so he was facing the boy.

"Oh, you will pay dearly for that!!" Jolt fired a large ball of energy at Link. Link winched in pain, trying to buy time for Zelda to get the necklaces. Jolt grabbed a knife and cut at Link leg. This time Link couldn't help but yell from the pain. "Maybe next time you won't open your mouth as much!!" Link felt the blood pour from his wound. Not wanting the boy dead just yet, Jolt wraped up the wound in a bandage. 'C'mon Zelda, we don't have much time!!' Link thought.

Zelda searched through the first part of Koriki Forest. She found nothing in her search. She headed out for the Deku Tree's Meadow, hoping to find something. She looked at the burnt up tree, grief struken. She looked among the weeds. only to have the same results. She checked the last place in the forest, the Lost Woods. Zelda, using her powers, easily found the path to the Sacred Forest Meadow. Entering, she found the meadow untouched by Jolt. She looked around and saw a figure sitting on a stump, his back torward Zelda. Zelda slowly snuck up behind the person. Before Zelda could reach him, the Koriki turned around, surprised by Zelda. He jumped off the stump.

"Who are you?" asked the boy.

"I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. Who are you??" Zelda answered.

The figure step out of the shadows. "I am Mido, leader of the Koriki." he answered back. Zelda looked in shock at the Koriki. Mido's arm was in a sling. His face was cut in several different places and his tunic was tour into rags.

"Mido!" Zelda said. "Link and I thought you were dead. How did you survive and what happened to.....Saria?" Zelda was greifed at the site of the forest. Mido begun his story.

"After Link left with you," Mido begun. "A man came in and demanded we told him where the Hero of Time was. We didn't want anyone at the castle to be harmed of the man so we told him Link was gone. The man then started destroying houses. Saria was the one who stood up for us. The man....." Mido hesitated. "attacked Saria. Saria didn't die at that time. The Koriki helped Saria when the man's back was turned. Then....Saria was in her house and....he attacked it." Mido's eyes filled with tears. "Thats what happened to Saria. Me and my fariy were the only ones left."

Zelda apologised for what happened. Then she remembered the fairy and turned back the Mido. "You need to come to Death Mountain with me." Zelda told him. Mido was surprised. After Zelda told him about the fairy summoning him, Mido acepted gratfully. Mido and Zelda headed torward Death Mountian.

At dusk, Zelda and Mido reached Kakirko Village. They rode up to the top of Death Mountain. Mido and Zelda raced in the fairy's fountain. Inside, Mido was ready to listen to the fairy. Zelda, once again, toke out the Orcarina and played the tune again. The fairy came up.

"Congraulations, Zelda." the fairy of the fountain replied. "You have completed my task. You have brung me the new Protector of the Forest. One last task is asked. Defeat the beast before you and you have completed my task." Behind them, a huge monster arose from the ground. Zelda and Mido turned around, Zelda with a sword in her hand, ready to fight. The creature was no doubt a Stalfo: a huge Stalfo. Zelda faced the monster. The Stalfo raced at Zelda. Zelda held up her sword. The Stalfo ramed right into the sword, knocking it back. Zelda took this advantge. She stabbed at the creature continusly. Little did Zelda know, the Stalfo was charging it's power. The Stalfo slung his sword hard at Zelda. Zelda was hit and knocked out. The creature's eyes spotted Mido and charged at him. Mido raced over to Zelda, trying to awake her. Zelda came to her senses and held her head. She removed her hand and it was covered in blood. Zelda grabbed Mido and moved him out of the way just as the Stalfo hit the wall. Zelda searched through Link's bag untill she found a rag. She held it to her head and tyed it on. The Stalfo was struggling with it weapon, trying to get it out of the wall. Zelda jumped in the air and brung the sword down, landing it right into the Stalfo's skull. The Stalfo screamed in pain nad toppled over dead. Zelda removed the sword. She walked up to the fountain. The fairy spoke to them once more.

"You are a skilled fighter, Zelda," the fairy continued. "You are just as Link was when he visited here. Mido, you proved bravery in this battle. Instead of running out of here when it started torward you, you ran to Zelda, saving her and you both." Mido blushed sheepisly. "Zelda, take the Necklace of the Forest." The fairy waved her arms and the necklace appered in Zelda's hand. Zelda applied it to her neck, along with the Necklace of the Goron's. Again the fairy spoke. "Mido, you will remain in the forest. It will florsh once more and you will be it's leader. Just remember to be nice to the next Hero." The fairy smiled. Mido blushed. "Zelda," the fairy continued. "Don't you have something you need to save?" Zelda remembered Link. Zelda waved goodbye to the fairy and Mido.

"Uhh.....Zelda?" Mido called out to her. Zelda stopped. "Thanks for finding me and bring me here. And.....tell Link....I am.....am sorry for the way I treated him." Zelda nodded and rushed out the door. Zelda stopped outside, trying to remember where the next necklace was. "Zora's Fountain!!" she cried. Grabbing Cream, she rode off torward Zora's Domain.

Jolt sat, staring into the crystal ball. 'Man, this girl is good!!!' Jolt thought. Link watched from his place, cheering Zelda on to himself. Jolt slammed his fist onto the table. "Oh well," Jolt looked at Link. "At least when she sees you die, she will give up hope!!!" Jolt laughs and Link lookes on in digust. 'Soon, it will be soon,' Jolt laughed evily at this thought. Link looked on in digust once more.
