"wake up my boy" an elderly voice speaks. "wake up!" it sounds annoyed.
"unh…what? Where am I?" Domina gets up and looks about the place, a flowing blue, much like water. But there is a lot here he cannot see. The disembodied voice calls again.
"in front of you boy" Domina looks to his front but sees nothing.
"where are you I see not a thing" Domina says in a voice unbefitting him.
"I am the sage of light, Rauru. You had been chosen but never took your fate seriously, so I had to intervene"
"oh, sage of light, no wonder I can't see you"
"aye, you had not been born with a sense of the light so you miss out on it. You keep yourself isolated in that misted forest so that you may see those that come, but you have had a visitor that you still can't see. Navi has a remarkable ability to purify the air around her leave her lost to those of the dark. Your quest needs her, and she needs you. Being to last of her kind is hard, I know you have had the same fate as the abandoned-"
"you will not speak of my past in front of me!" Domina drew his blade and almost impaled the sage. "no one should know! How dare you look into things that do not hold any matter to you! I should kill you where you stand!"
"hmm, just like him. The seal should have prevented you from drawing that blade in here. But in your anger you broke it. Okay then, I will not breath a word of it if you so wish"
"so old man, what makes me so damned important that I have to save the world, all the other before failed so how did I get stuck with being the next target"
"the Triforce looked for worthy ones of it's light, I looked all over Hyrulian soil. But it always over looked you, your thoughts had always been for yourself, always alone it thought you would be afraid. But one day it saw you face the wicked beast that once lay dead inside the Deku Tree. Normal people would have run, and someone of your regular life would have dead only to be happy, but you were arrogant, and that gave you bravery to slay it. And you were chosen"
"I know that beast had strength but I didn't think it would change my life" Domina says seriously thinking of the weight of his quest.
"we will met again Domina, and on that day I hope you learn the true lesson this is to teach you"
Domina scuffs "I doubt that, but it will give me something to do. Needless bloodshed always cheers me up"
Domina wakes up in a flash. He stands in the middle of Links former home. The light inside given off by nothing fill it with holy power. The fog around the forest is still thick but this room seems guarded by some spirit. Domina rubs his eyes and recalls the whole event that had just passed by. He quickly runs out of the room and jumps down the ladder. He quickly runs to the Deku Tree to see if anything has changed.
"whew, still there" he looks up at the empty branches of the Elder Deku Tree. The Parasite monster impaled in a branch lay motionless. Domina sits down and looks upon the tree. He never really questioned why it had a face, but now he wondered, for the face now looked sad, not as neutral as he remembered.
"I guess someone just carved it and now it's recovering" he said to himself.
"nay…………child" a voice boomed weakly.
"what? Whoa!" Domina stood up and put his hand on his blade.
"do…………not…be………alarmed" it speaks again.
"Who are you, what are you doing in my forest!" Domina speaks using his hands to try and see if it may be that of a light side force.
"it is I……The Great Deku Tree……"
"what? No way, a tree can not speak"
"you are naive child, please, remove that beast from it's place, it's blood drains me of my life"
"why should I? You never spoke up before and you make a perfect post for my victories"
"arrogance runs through your veins as did bold blood in the heroes passed. Perhaps the gods pick the right boy, but picked the man too soon"
"you insult me once more I leave that thing on you, now tell me. Why is it I am to measure up to this "Hero of Time" shit. I am no hero, and I don't want to be!"
"do you not mean to say "you cannot be a hero"?"
"what are you saying?" Domina slowly draws his blade but keeps it in it's sheathe.
"courage and arrogance have there differences. With courage you will take any task that proves even the slightest challenge. But as for the arrogance you posses, you will do things you want to do without thinking of the good or bad outcome it may have. Arrogance is a fancy word for courage within stupidity"
"that is it your going down tree" Domina draws his blade and darts toward the tree. Steps before he reaches the base a small root pops up and trips him, the Deku Tree opens his mouth and swallows Domina, then quickly closes his mouth.
Domina gets up from inside the mouth and looks around.
"what the hell are you doing, your going to eat me? You sick bastard!"
"Be quiet! I did not eat you, I am testing your courage!" The Deku Trees tolerance had run out. "if you do not complete this task then I may consider your request to be eaten"
"you little, you win but when I get out your gonna feed my next fire"
"shut up!" his voice booms and echoes through the inside of him almost deafening Domina. "threaten me once more and I will crush you inside my body!" he booms again. And to show he is not bluffing he slowly and slightly make the room smaller.
"yes sir" Domina says dryly. He looks about the place and sees some small plants that emanate an evil aura. He draws his blade and closes near to them. One lunges at him but Domina is to far. Domina sees that there stems are a weak point and a hindrance. He takes the chance and cuts off the stem and kills the plant. He laughs once and turn to the other one. It stand straight up and just twirls. Domina closes in on it and just stares.
"stupid plant" but as he said that a root comes forth from the ground and ties his feet. It then slams him on the floor a while then pitches him away. Domina slides on the ground till he hits a wall softly.
"damn it, I let my guard down" he rushes the plant and chops it until it finely diced into piece much like a leaf. He claps the dirt of his hands and spots a ladder in the distance. He climbs up it and then looks around at the new view. He sees a few skulltulas on a vined wall and some bigger ones atop the room. He then sees a small cubby up a small ramp close to him. He makes his way up to it and opens the door. A room with a simple plant in the middle is all that it leads to. Domina enters and looks about the room, the plant and nothing else.
"what a waste, you really need to reconsider your structure Deku"
"this is no time for jokes boy" the Deku Tree responds. And in the distraction Domina takes a Deku nut to his own. Domina leans in and braces the sore area, he looks up to see a shrub creature laughing at him. "you'll pay for that" he says threateningly.
It laughs again and retreats into it's hole. Domina gets up and walks above the plant. He plows his hand into it And pulls out the plant from it's headdress.
"please, if you let me go I'll-" he gets cut short by Domina thrusting his sword down it's throat. It gurgles and blood drips from it's mouth. Domina then throws it to the ground. A chime is heard and then the door on the other side opens up. Domina walks through and a room with a floating piece of land and a chest on the other side are within it. Domina jumps onto the land and feels it wobble, he then jumps off toward the chest and the land falls to the ground and shatters. Domina shrugs and walks to the chest. He raises his foot and smashes it open with it. He looks through the rummage and find the contents. A bag of Hand Bullets. Simple rocks polished and fashioned to deal major damage just by being thrown. Domina looked less then amused.
"well, at least it wasn't as bad as a slingshot" (sorry had to call back to it). Domina spots the ladder above the door on the side he came on from and saw this as practice. He took a stone and threw it. Barely missed but the power behind it forced it into the wood of the Deku Tree.
"hey watch it, I am and old tree don't forget"
"oh suck it up I haven't exactly had practice with these" he says he misses another shot. After a good ten bullets he finally got it down. Domina sighed and made his way back to the main room.
"what could be next"

two in one day, didn't think I'd have the time. Wow, well I hope you like this one too. Please review it, and any suggestions for minor equipment change is helpful, like I have no idea how to change the Chainhook, or maybe I should just keep it…how knows
