The World Of the Undead
Chapter One: The First Day
Well it's not like I really had anything to do in these next two days but find someone that'll go with me to hell...I mean what can I say? Just go up to someone and ask them" Hey do you wanna go to hell with me and retreive a staff?"
I was on my way to Lon Lon Ranch where I worked for the last two years before I set out on my own, I'm fifteen and a half by the way, and I never really knew what my birthday was, I just counted new years as my birthday. Pretty pathetic huh...
Malon was a beauty beyond comparison, almost as beautiful as Zelda. I spent as much time as I could with her, before I started out on my own. I told her stories of my adventures as The Hero Of Time. As far as I know, she's the only one that beleives me. Not like I really want to be famous but it's good to get stuff off of your mind.
As I walked into Lon Lon Ranch, chickens roamed the walk ways and horses ran around the track. This Ranch was famous for raising horses, just like Epona...just not as fast.
Malon stood in the center of the ranch as she always did, singing her toon that her mother used to sing. I slowly pulled out my wooden ocarina and began to play along with her notes. I could tell this sort of suprised her because of how she jumped when I started playing. She slowly turned and showed her purple eyes gleaming in the sunlight...Hey it's not like I like her like that now, their just beautiful. She spoke to me in the most femine voice alive,"Oh hey Link, how are you today?" I started to tell her about goin to hell and about that man that wanted me to go get his staff. But I couldn't for some reason...maybe I can explain it in a different way.
" Well I got side tracked when I went to Kakariko, these men attacked me and then, it happend." I sighed when I finished and she asked," What happend?" " Well I got a job to go to the underworld and retrieve a staff. I don't really know what the reward is but I'm sure it's enough to keep me goin for a while."
I just stood there looking into her eyes as she listened blankly."Link why don't you come back to the ranch? I do get kind of lonely without you." I looked at her again, for some reason I just couldn't get those eyes out of my mind."Nah I'd be to much trouble." I chuckled.
" I have another day before I go and I'm searching for someone to go with me down there...I mean I'm not scared or anything but I just think I need some help yah know?" I sat down at this and so did Malon." Did you ever try going back to see the princess? I'm sure she'd probably remember." I shook my head." No...I could try...I do have the ocarina of time. But what if thats not proof enough? And how am I suppose to get in there?" " Good point." She giggled." Link I'm sure you'll find someone to go with you, I bet their probably right under your nose and you don't even know it."
She laid her head on me, ok now I'm startin to blush." Uh...yeah um ok..." I sighed. She's asleep...how does she do that?
Later on I set out again and said my good byes to Malon. I had a feeling I knew the one that would go with me to the Underworld. And I might just know where to find him. I trotted down the feild with Epona towards the Lost Woods where I would find the one. When I got back from my adventures in Termina, I met him in Hyrule castletown. HE just so happens to beleive me to, about me being The Hero Of Time...I mean is it a big deal or what?
At the edge of the woods I jumped off of Epona nd let her run back into the feild, occasionally I let her do that because she's a loyal horse and I can always call her back with my ocarina. I walked into the secret path of the woods, the long dark log path the leads you straight through to Kokiri Village. Now if your wondering my so called companion isn't a Kokiri, he's more like a half blood brother to me because of what we went through together. But he stayed here in the village while I went back to the Ranch, The Great Deku Tree didn't mind.
I slowly entered the village, greeting my old friends the Kokiri children as I went by. Walking straight through the village I noticed someone in the training grounds. It just happend to be him, Kaiten.
He was about my height and my age, and equal to me in the way of the sword. Not that I use it that much, only when I need it. He stood there slicing away at growing branchs, even scaring the trainer that was up there." Well well Kaiten see you haven't missed a day in training your skills." " Oh come off it Link I could beat you anyday." He responded and kept chopping.
" You want a chance to earn a big reward?" I asked with amusment. He just stood there looking at me dumbstruck." What kind of reward?" " I have no clue but it's big I can tell you that much." He started rubbing his chin as if thinking." Ok you got me what do you want?" I told him about the underworld and about the man that invited me. I told him about when and where we were suppose to meet him.
It was night time and I was still in the forest, I never did stay in one place at a time, I was always moving around, migrating. I remembered Saria, how she would play with em everyday from the moment I was brought to the forest. I wondered if she was still at the sacred forest meadow where she always was when she was away. She was the only Kokiri that could leave the forest without turning mortal. As I thought about that I slowly drifted off to sleep in the cool forest night, and the wolfos could be heard in the distance, signaling it was night time.
