Chapter 13 old and young faces
While entering the forest Dan and Lex look around to see what sights the forest offers tell they stop and told to dismount as they arrive at the Kokiri capital where they see many Kokiri and Deku Scrubs both soldiers and civilians interacting with one another along with the Hylian soldiers that were with Zelda's father but also the Zora troops they arrived with and other people who almost don't look similar to Hylians.
Who are they Lex asked?
They're Ordonians Jr relied. They're technically a vassal race to Hyrule but they have their own leaders and have their own territory that look over, but my grandfather decided that they deserve to govern themselves due to their devotion to the royal family like the Sheikah but insist of remaining a vassal to us tell this war is over.
Wow that's clear loyalty and gratitude to your kingdom they have.
Thanks for the complement Daniel Zelda replied. When me and Link sit the throne and hopefully this war is over by then they will be greatly rewarded along with the Sheikah for serving our kingdom for so many years and deserve it.
After those words they here a voice from behind them demanding to speak to his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.
They turn to see a man wearing red and gold armor with a purple cape and a gold crown while also equip with a sword and a shield that is almost similar to Link's. Grandpa Jr and Zellie yelled and ran into his arms then Zelda and Link walk over and hug him.
My goodness you two have grown, you Link looking just as good the last time I saw you and Daughter your just as beautiful and strong as you were when I left. Now where and how is everyone.
King Daphnees Nohansson Hyrule, Ganondorf replied as he walked up to him.
Ah Ganondorf how's are you my boy?
I'm well we came as soon as we could after Farcos told us about the situation here.
likewise, now first things Deku welcome home how are you.
It's good to be I'm not letting my home fall without a fight.
Good to here, Ruto and Darunia how are your people?
They both answered well but Ruto asked if the amount of Zoras they came with was enough to help.
Nonsense with you all here we have a chance. He then walked over to talk to FI, Midna and Impa.
Your majesty Impa said and bowed.
It's good to see you to Impa mind if I ask how many Sheikah have been following all of you since you left Castle town?
To those words FI and Midna yelled are you kidding me we thought you said you only sent messages to Sheikah in our territories that we would all pass through if anything bad were to happen.
It was vital for all our safty you think I would let any of us fall into Ganon's hands epically now if we win this upcoming fight and any of his minions inform him about Daniel and Alexa.
They all had no replies except king Daphnees saying she is right, and I bet you Darunia and Ganondorf would agree.
They both repied yes but Dar added its dose higher their chances of dan and Lex not being in Ganon's interest and have ideas to learn about their world.
To that Daphnees knotted and said now where are these two young souls your all traveling with, I'd like to meet them since I read the message you sent to all our lands.
They all moved to their sides to revile them and in complete hesitation they bow before him and say your majesty.
No need young ones no need please rise to I have a better look at both of you. He walks and looks around them seeing what they are wearing, equipped with and how they act.
My, my your both quite fit for your age another year and you'd be in perfect shape to be a fine catch for anyone and to join any of our side's militaries.
Thank you dan replied but we don't belong here.
Yes, I read your both from a different word. I don't know why the goddess brought you here, but I bet it's for a reason, but I could be wrong.
At those words they here a load voice.
Let me see these two I can explain why they are here and would like to speak to them.
Oh, he's awake Daphnees happily said.
Who Lex asked?
The Great Deku tree a soft voice spoke from above the trees.
To those words link jumped and said is that you Saria?
A girl then jumped down reveling a young girl looking like she's in her early teen years and a bit taller than Lex with green hair with a flower in it, green eyes and wearing a green outfit with green boots, a brown cloak with large leaves on the shoulder and equipped with a bow and a quiver full of arrows.
Long time no see guys and you two welcome to the forest and glad you all came to help.
It's a pleasure old friend Link replied. Where's Mido he then asked?
Behind you, you defuse a voice jokingly said and tripping him up.
They turn to see a young boy also looking like he's in his early teens but has brown hair, a green outfit like Saria but with also a green cap and equipped with only a spear and dagger on his belt.
Good to see everyone together again but those two shouldn't keep the father waiting.
Father Lex asked but he's a tree and your all forever children, right?
You're not wrong Saria replied we appear to be flesh and blood but originally, we were all Koroks, people like the Deku Scrubs but taller and had leave's as a face but over time some of us wanted to be human like due to some of us having attractions to other races and wanted to know what it's like to be human like so the Great Deku tree granted us this but only could make us have the appearance of a 12 year old at most but by the time on Link's incarnation where he lived with us the Great Deku tree now had the power to age us a little bit so we could be able to have children of our own or revert back to Koroks if we want to with our not ageing intact.
Is that why you look almost the same age as me and Dan?
Yes, Mido replied but also, we wanted to age with link in that period and that me and Saria are a pair and plan to have kids sometime in the future.
Wow Daniel replied everything I've heard about this is making me regret I wasn't born here because this has become my favorite version of it.
With a smile from everyone Saria and Mido escorts Dan and Lex to the Great Deku tree so that he can speak to them.
