Chapter two: The next stage
The next morning, It was cold and rainy. The world was shrouded in mist and link was up before sunrise getting ready to start his journey."Tatle!"shouted link, but there was no reply."Wake up, before I shove a can of raid up your farie ass!" he shouted. "Ahhh, Fine I'm up,I'm up!...When are we leaving?"asked Tatle. "I already left" answered link as he ran out the door with a big grin on his face."Hey Tatle...It sure was nice of the elder to let us stay in his house,wasn't it?"asked link. "Yeah I guess" answered Tatle.As they walked thru the village link suddenly stopped and said to Tatle "I need to go get my orcarina." With that link ran into the music shop.
As link walked thru the store the shopkeeper appeared and said "I have tuned your instrument...and with great difficulty might I add" "Thanks!" answered link. "How much do I owe you?" asked link. "Its on me" said the shopkeeper.
As link ran out of the shop the shopkeeper said"That is a very rare instrument...you must be very talented." "Yeah I guess" said link, and with that he left the shop."What took you so long?" asked Tatle. "I got caught up." answered link.
With a curious look on his face like pulled out his orcarina and begane to play. As soon as the song was done footsteps could be heard approaching link and Tatle. After that a horse could clearly be seen in the distance. It was no mere horse, It was a tall brown horse with unriveled speed. "Its been a long time, hasn't it Epona?" asked link as he mounted the horse.
They rode for hours in cold, bitter, weather and stopped. "What did we stop for?" asked Tatle. "We need to make camp for the night and continue on in the morning". Link wearily made camp. After the camp was set up link went into the nearby woods to get fire wood.As he entered the woods he heard a mysteriou sound. Link slowly walked towards the sound, being cautious of what might be lurking close by. He walked for what seemed like hours and the longer he walked the more the darkness seemed to consume him. After awhile he couldn't even see his hands in front of him , so he slowly reached for his bag and pulled out a lantern.
As he lit his lantern he noticed that he could no longer see the sky but that the trees had made a tunnel-like walkway in the direction he seemed to be going. He saw that at the end of the tunnel there seemed to be a light. As he headed for the light he could clearly see a meadow in the distance. In the meadow there was one lone waterfall at its backend. As link walked forward he noticed that the sound was coming from the waterfall. As he got closer to it a voice spoke to him. " You seem weary..." said the voice. " We can help" said another.At that the waterfall poened up to reveal a small group of fairies. The fairies quickly encircled link and in a flash of light link felt as if he had all his energy back. When he looked up to see where the fairies wenthe noticed that a cave was open behind the waterfall. Link was about ot go into it when Tatle came rushing through the trees.
" Link!" she shouted. "What!" he replied with a dull look. "The camp...you gotta hurry!" Link ran back thru the woods towards the camp. When he arrived the whole camp was on fire. "There link!" yeelled Tatle. Link looked around and saw a band of women dressed in robes riding away. link quickly mounted Epona and began to chase them with his word drawn at his side.
