Chapter 5: Kokiri's Emerald

"It's quite appropriate that the brother of the hero of winds would bear such a name," the Deku Tree said.

"Thank you," Shadow Link said. "That was way to close," he thought. "Great Deku Tree, I come on the behalf of my brother to request the Kokiri's Emerald," Shadow Link lied.

"Very well, come out here so that I may begin the ceremony," the Deku Tree replied.

"I……...um…I'd rather not," Shadow Link said, "I'm nervous, and not worthy to be looked on by you."

"There's nothing to be shy about, but if you insist, I'll close my eyes and only Makar will see you," the Deku Tree said.

"Ok," Shadow Link said.

"Sheik, stand on that lily pad before me, and start playing the Song of Truth, Makar," the Deku Tree instructed.

"Couldn't we play something else," Shadow Link asked.

"Sorry, but no," the Deku tree said, "It's tradition." Then Makar closed his eyes and played. A shower of leaves fell, and then, hovering in front of Shadow Link, was the Kokiri's Emerald. Then he realized that the song had taken effect.

"Well, that's that," Makar said and opened his eyes, "Ah, Great Deku Tree look. He's a monster."

"Huh…your right," the Deku said after opening his eyes.

"I have what I need, so I'll just be on my way," the shadow said.

"Not so fast," the Deku tree said. Then, roots sprang up from the ground blocking the exit.

"Fine, you want to play," Shadow Link said, "Be my guest."

"Your in for it," Makar screamed raising his bow, "Wind Sage's Wrath." A whirlwind appeared around him, and he shot it at Shadow Link.

"Novice," Shadow Link snickered, and equipped the iron boots. After that, roots imprisoned Shadow Link. "Nice try," he said slashing the roots and climbing out.

"Now, Makar," the Deku Tree yelled.

"Ballad of Gales," Makar said and started to play. A cyclone formed around Shadow Link. His iron boots held him down for a while, but it pulled him up.

"Not bad, for an amateur," Shadow Link said, "Falor's Counter Wind." Then, a black wind surrounded Shadow Link, and he vanished.

"Nooooooooooooooo," the Deku Tree said.

"Forgive me, Great Deku Tree, I failed," Makar said, "Now he'll conquer the cosmos and it's all my fault."

"Don't despair, Markar," the Deku Tree said, "You did your best. Now send for Hollo to heal our wounds."

out side "Yes, now all I need is the Goron's Ruby," Shadow Link said, "I'll sail east, and hopefully find something."

Forest Sanctuary "At least I can make it rough on him," Makar said, "Song of Great Storms." Then a huge hurricane brewed up almost instantly.

"Well done Makar," the Deku Tree complimented.

"I hope this kills him," Makar said.

"You 2 should be fine in a few days," Hollo said.

"Good, we might need to face him soon," Makar said

Shadow Link's boat "Ahhhhhhh…," Shadow Link screamed, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to puke, and then I'm going to die.

In a far off land "What do you see, Zuko," Tetra ask leaning over the crow's nest.

"Unless I'm mistaken, Quill," Zuko answered, "See for yourself, miss." He carefully handed her the scope, and she put it up to her eye.

"It is Quill," Tetra said in excitement, "Senza, tell Link that Quill is approaching."

"Aye aye, captain," Senza replied and ran to the side of the boat, "Link, Quill's nearing us."

"Great, tell Zel…Tetra to stop at that small island up ahead," Link hollered back.

A few minutes later, they all stopped at the island, and Quill explained everything.

"So he looks like me a couple of years older, and he can turn a see-through black color," Link asked.

"That's all I saw," Quill said.

"Thanks, old friend," Link said, "Z…Tetra, let's go back to the Great Sea."

"Link, we can't go back," Tetra said, "We've sailed for 2 years."

"We can get back in a week, and we have to help them," Link argued.

"I hate it when you do this to me," Tetra moaned, "Alright, set sails south as soon as we get back on the ship Niko."

"Aye, captain," Niko replied.

"Yes, Great Sea here we come," Link shouted.
