1Link was having a good day. He didn't remember
what he was doing, but surely that meant that he was okay. They were
just walking along the grassy hills looking as if they were
completely lost.
"So, erm," said Cloud, "What
are we doing?"
"Ah. . . I guess we're looking for Zelda,"
replied Li. She wasn't exactly sure herself. "Maybe we should be
looking for someone sane. If Zelda went crazy, who is keeping the
world from collapsing?"
"Don't worry, I'll save us!"
said Link, posing with his sword.
"We're all doomed," said
Roy. "And why do I feel like pushing Link out of a window? We're
in the middle of a field."
They started walking into Kokiri
Forest for no particular reason. Up in a random corner of some random
place there was a tree.
-don't ask me how they got there from
Hyrule Field, I'm bored okay.-
Li saw the enormous tree and the
light suddenly dawned. "That's it- this is the last sane person
in the world- it's the Deku Tree."
"What?" said
Cloud.
"What?" said Roy.
"Hi," said Link. "I'm
Link."
The large tree boomed a response, "Hello brave Hero of
Time. You have done well to make it this far. Your quest will be
perilous, but perhaps I can guide you."
"Why are you talking
to him?" asked Li. "He's a moron."
"O, just some stupid
thing I have to say every time he appears," responded the tree. "I
don't suppose he ever takes notice of it now."
Link was
currently looking at a rock and reciting something vaugely like
poetry to it.
Cloud and Roy had resumed their argument, neither of
them suspecting that the two foes could be friends, or as close to
friends as ultimate evils get.
"Well, the Demon King is twice
as tall as any one person," defended Roy.
"Sepheroth is a
looming figure in shadow."
"Demon King is huge and evil, and
he's the demon KING. Obviously he is the ultimate evil, and
he'd beat your pathetic advocary."
"The Demon King isn't
even your enemy!"
"But he'd cream any bad guy you
know."
"Okay," said Li, who couldn't take much more of
this, "You two, shut up!"
"Yes ma'am," they said at the
same time.
"Right, so. . ." Li found she could not tell what
they were supposed to do next. "Hey, Deku Tree, what do we
do?"
"How should I know?" asked the tree. "You don't
really think that I'm the most intelligent person in Hyrule.
Go see the princess Zelda."
All three people were very nervous
for a second. "Erm. . ." even Cloud didn't really know what to
say.
"Um," said Li faintly, "Er, she kindof. . . lost her
marbles."
"We're all domed," said the Deku Tree.
"Oh,
great," Roy exclaimed. "That's helpful."
"Maybe we
should stop asking for help and just go find Ganon by ourselves. It's
not like we can bring the tree with us."
"Cloud, shut
up."
"Yes ma'am."
