A Quest Begins

Link and Tetra waited on the beach for Komali to return with someone to help them. At last, the prince and Quill landed before them.

"In case you haven't guessed what we're going to do...well, we're gonna fly you to the Tower of the Gods," Komali stated.

Link looked wary. He really didn't trust the 2 Ritos, but before he knew it, he was dangling from Quill's feet, looking down at the ocean. Tetra was hanging from Komali, Gaylord tucked under one arm. Link couldn't understand WHY the hell she wanted to bring him.

She's getting too damn soft... Link thought, shaking his head.

After 2 hours of this rather exhausting act, Quill and Komali came to hover near the Tower of the Gods.

Link noticed that the ring of light that allowed entry to Hyrule was back again. He felt slightly apprehensive of returning.

"Here we are," said Quill, dropping Link into the water. Komali and Tetra went down next to him, and Quill flew away.

"Do we...just go into that ring?" Komali asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know!" Link snapped.

Tetra rolled her eyes and swam into the circle with Gaylord. Both dog and girl disappeared instantly. Komali followed suit, and at last, a reluctant Link.

The 4 sank back to Hyrule... After only a few seconds, they were there.

This time, though, they had not landed near Hyrule Castle. Instead, they were in a field...

"Um...ok, something's wrong here. Where ARE we?" said Link.

"Um..." Tetra blinked and looked around, confused. Then she spotted a castle up ahead. "Oh! Guys! Look! The castle! At least SOMETHING'S familiar..."

Komali was looking in a book that he had got out of nowhere. Link turned to stare at him.

"Where the hell'd you get that book? And what is it?" he asked.

Komali didn't look up at Link as he replied, "This is a book about Hyrule. The author gave it to me so I would automatically know the locations to everything and she wouldn't have to write about us being lost and confused. Well, anyway, according to this map of Hyrule, we are in Hyrule Field."

"Where do we go now?" Tetra asked.

As if answering her question, a piece of paper flew into her face. Tetra set Gaylord down, snatched the paper, and looked at it. "It's a poem..."

Tetra read aloud:

"In the woods rests who you seek

Out from the trees the Deku Scrubs peek

All young children are now at rest

Go with the girl to take the test

Your's Truly,

Bambi"

Link burst out laughing.

"THAT WAS LIKE, THE DUMBEST POEM EVER!" he cawed.

"Link, shut up! It's not her talent she's trying to make us see, it's the message behind the poem! These words mean something," Tetra said thoughtfully.

"Tch, yah! Nothin' but STUPID!" Link snorted.

Komali continued to look at his book.

"Tetra's right, Link. I think I may know what she's talking about. "In the woods rests who you seek"... Well, in Hyrule, there is Kokiri Forest and leading off of that is the Lost Woods... Deku Scrubs were a type of creature serving Ganon in the days of the Hero of Time, and the part about young children... Hmm... Well, there was a race of people called Kokiri, people who stayed children forever. That last part baffles me, though..." he said.

"Well, maybe if we head to the Kokiri Forest, we can find out more. I mean, what else can we do?" said Tetra with a shrug. She turned to Komali and asked, "Now where is the forest?"

Komali pointed to a wooden tunnel to the east.

"Should be through there. I think we should be safe, seeing as we're kids an' all, but still...we may never come out."

"Huh? What does AGE got to do with this?" Link asked.

"When an adult Hylian entered the forest, they would die and turn into plants. Children went unaffected, but you never know what might happen. Things might change," Komali replied.

"Well, we can't just stand around," Tetra said, pocketing the poem. "Let's get moving, dammit!"

The trio, accompanied by Gaylord the poodle, made their way to Kokiri Forest, and at last, they entered the deserted village. Despite the fact that there was no breeze, another piece of paper flew through the air and landed in Komali's face this time. He looked at it.

"No poem this time...just a note. I think you know who it's from. Well, anyway, it says:

Jeez, you guys are such dumbfucks. Do I have to spell everything out for you? That poem wasn't THAT hard to understand. It took you a long time to figure it out; too long, actually... Well, why am I writing to you, you ask? You didn't ask, but I'm guessing you were thinking it, heh heh. I just wanted to tell you that you're looking for a girl named Saria, who happens to be the sage of the forest. Like Daphness Nohansen Hyrule, she was kept alive, along with the other sages that live down here. Little known fact, I suppose. You need to find her. I would suggest searching the Lost Woods. Just don't get lost, hehehehehe... I'll meet up with you once you have all the sages' powers and yaddah yaddah. Then I will kill you, and it will be MINE! Oh, that came out wrong, deepest apologies. I mean I'll see you sooner. MUCH sooner. So much sooner that you'd be like, blown away. Really soon.

Sincerely,

Bambi"

"She has a knack for giving away all the answers," Link commented. When no one said anything, he looked around, and spotted Tetra, Komali, and Gaylord already headed for the Lost Woods. He reluctantly followed.

After they had entered the woods, Bambi in shadow creature form stepped out of the shadows.

Smirking, she said to herself, "I'll see to it that they make it to Saria and the Forest Temple. Then I can pick them off one by one... And Tetra just so happens to be the first to go, hehehe!"
