Smiling after the red shape of his talking boat, Link carefully unsheathed his sword and advanced through the trees, careful not to cut himself. Holding the sword ahead of him, Link walked quietly along and waited for something to happen, for an enemy to jump out at him from the trees. When none came, he whipped the sword back into his sheath so fast that the Hylian symbols were a bright, radiant blur.
Link pressed on through the forest island. For the moment it seemed empty, though judging by the amount of woodland life on the island, there had to be some people around here somewhere.
So, he walked on for a bit, but nothing interesting greeted his eyes; just the same background of trees and birds as before. But now, suddenly, a rock wall reared up above Link. Confused, the he looked up...until something caught his eye. It was a hole, smack-dab in the middle of the rock wall, covered by hanging vines and clearly covering the entrance to something.
Link pushed the vines aside and peered beyond. Sure enough, there was a black hole, which the vines had been hiding. He couldn't tell what was on the other side, so, steadying himself, Link hopped through the hole and slid his feet out on the other side.
He jumped easily onto his feet on the other side of the rock wall. Just in case, he steadied his hand on the golden hilt of his sword, but when nothing happened, he sighed with relief and dropped his hand.
He was about to head forward into the forest haven when a noise made him whirl around, unsheathing his sword in the blink of an eye. But it was just a person, so he quickly sheathed it again, blushing slightly in embarrassment.
