Chapter 3
Hyrule Castle, Hyrule Field, and Lon Lon Ranch
"Sasuke! Where do you think you're going?!" A ninja yelled. "I've got to save Hyrule Field from the curse!" Sasuke said running. Hinata saw him running and so she ran after him. There was a bridge between Kokiri Forest and Hyrule Field so she managed to catch up with him there. "Sasuke! Stop!" Hinata yelled. "You're leaving aren't you," Sasuke heard Hinata say. So he turned around and went toward her. "I knew…that you would leave the forest…" Hinata paused and looked down. "Someday… Because you are different from me and my friends. But that's okay, because we'll be friends forever…won't we? I want you to have this ocarina. Please take good care of it," Hinata held out the ocarina. Sasuke remembered hearing it when he was lost in the maze. It was the same one. "But isn't this the only one you have?" Sasuke asked. "I've got another one, so just take it, and when you play I hope that maybe it'll remind you of me and maybe come back to the forest and visit," Hinata said. Sasuke took a few steps back watching her until he turned around and went on with his adventure. Hinata turned around and walked back to her house slowly. She didn't want to think of it, but she knew that Sasuke might not even come back. Silently, tears dripped from her eyes and she ran home in agony. Sasuke walked across the huge field looking out for monsters; he knew that Hyrule Field was cursed, too. One day that curse would spread to his home, Kokiri Forest. He followed a dirt path to a white castle. "Sasuke, this is Hyrule Castle," Navi said. Right before he could go in the sun went down and the drawbridge went up. "Great, we're stuck out here all night," Sasuke said. "Well, that's not our only problem," Navi said. Some Stalchilds or zombie skeletons were coming toward him. "How long are these things going to be out?" Sasuke asked using his sword to slash threw them. "Probably not until dawn," Navi said. "Dawn?!" Sasuke said astonished. "Are you serious?" Sasuke asked. "I wish I wasn't," Navi said. Finally, at dawn the monsters disappeared and the drawbridge fell. It was morning and he needed to find the Princess of Destiny. There was a brown-haired girl in the middle of the market inside the castle. "Excuse me; are you going into that castle?" The girl asked. Sasuke nodded. "Would you mind helping me find my dad, he went into that castle to deliver milk, but he never came back yet," the girl looked at him. "Okay, I'll see what I can do," Sasuke said. Once he got to the castle area Sasuke saw guards everywhere so he had to be extra careful. He climbed some vines and went into a hole in the concrete on the bridge guarding the pathway. Sasuke opened the door and sneaked out and noticed guards on the pathway so he ran across the small field along a dirt path not being noticed. Sasuke went up a wall of rocks and jumped into the moat surrounding the castle; passing a few guards. He got out and noticed a man sleeping in his way from getting inside the castle. So he needed to get out of the castle area so he started walking and got caught on purpose. "Hey, kid! Stop where you are!" The guard yelled. He ended up at the entrance of the market again where he met that girl. "Got caught didn't ya," the girl said. "What's you name, girl?" Sasuke asked. "I'm Tenten and did you see my father at all?" the girl asked sounding worried. "Yeah, he was sleeping," Sasuke said. "Again? Here, wake him with this chicken," Tenten gave him a chicken, "Okay?" Sasuke asked. "Just go, I know it seems weird, but he always wakes up to this chicken's sound," Tenten said. Sasuke sighed and went back up the vines, through the door, across the dirt path, up the stone wall, and into the moat. Once he got out the chicken it woke up Tenten's dad. "Huh? Where am I?" Her father asked. "You're at Hyrule Castle and you're daughter's looking for you," Sasuke said. "Tenten! I'm coming honey!" Her father screamed and ran. "Scary," Sasuke said and moved some crates to be able to get across and through the hole into the castle. Guess what he saw, more guards! Finally he passed them all and into a passageway and saw a princess with pink hair! Her back was to him. He recognized her pink hair from somewhere. 'It's my dream! She's the girl on horse-back!' Sasuke thought. "Excuse me? Are you by chance the Princess of Destiny?" Sasuke asked. The girl turned around; she looked about his age and she had emerald green eyes. It was the girl! "Yes I am and aren't you part of the legendary Uchiha clan?" She asked. "Yes," Sasuke answered. "Then you're the one I've been waiting for! Do you possess the Spiritual Stone of the Forest?" The princess asked. "The Kokiri Emerald?" Sasuke asked as he pulled it out of his pouch. "Yes that's it, and I wanted to show you this man. He's the reason there are curses all over the land," Princess pointed out the window she was looking out before. Sasuke looked out the window and saw the man that was on the black stallion in his dream. "You need to get all three Spiritual Stones and go to the Temple of Time. And here, this is a letter to show that you have permission to enter areas that we've prohibited people to enter," Princess said and gave him the letter. "Wait before I leave what's your name?" Sasuke asked. "Princess Sakura Haruno," Princess said. "It was an honor to meet you," Sasuke said and bowed. He turned around to leave and ran into someone named Impa. "Sasuke Uchiha, you need help on this journey, don't you?" She asked. "It would be nice," Sasuke said. "Okay, you need to learn this song and play it in front of the Triforce symbol," Impa took out an ocarina and played the song. Sasuke caught on quickly and played the song. "This song's called Sakura's Lullaby. It was played to her when she was a baby and is a spell basically. Like I said play it in front of the Triforce symbol. I'll take you out of the castle," Impa mounted a horse and Sasuke got on and got out of the castle. But he went back in to check on some of the shops in the market. Once he came up to the Bazaar he noticed a Hylian Shield, which he bought for 80 coins, which was twice the price of his old wooden one, but this one won't break, at least. Then he headed back for Hyrule Field and headed for an area that had a wall surrounding it. Sasuke walked closer to the area when something hit him, well not literally, because it was sunset. He had to hurry before the skeletons came out. Right then he got into the wall area. Sasuke knew that only skeletons came out in Hyrule Field at night so he should be safe, for now. He looked around the area he was in. It was a ranch and behind the ranch was a horse arena, but there as no one there so he went inside the house and decided to stay there for the night. Once he shut the door he turned and noticed a man sleeping on the ground and guess what, it was Tenten's dad! He wondered if he could find Tenten anywhere, but he wasn't going to bother. It was at least 11:00 at night so he was going to hit the sack and look for her in the morning. In the morning Sasuke was searching for Tenten, but instead he found something that he would probably need to carry things in, a jar. Now that it was light out he decided to look behind the house where he saw horses roaming freely. But something caught his eye; it was Tenten. She was humming to herself when Sasuke got closer, but there a baby horse by her that ran off frightened by Sasuke's appearance. "Hey, you scared off, Epona!" Tenten said. "Who's Epona? The horse?" Sasuke said. "Yeah; hey wait aren't you the one boy I saw at the market?" Tenten asked. "Yep, that's me and sorry that I scared off your horse," Sasuke said. "Don't worry about it I can get her to come back," Tenten turned toward Epona's direction and started whistling a song that she was humming before. Epona slowly walked over to Tenten; liking the song that she was whistling. While whistling she noticed the ocarina that Sasuke carried. "Hey, do you know any songs on your ocarina?" Tenten asked. "Well, I do know one," Sasuke pulled out his ocarina and played Sakura's Lullaby. "Wow, you really know how to play the ocarina very well," Tenten said. "Do you want to learn the song that Epona likes? The cool thing is that if you play it she'll trust you," Tenten said. She hummed the tune and Sasuke put it into song. "Hey, that's it, why don't you play it for Epona and see if she'll trust you," Sasuke listened to what Tenten said and played his ocarina and Epona followed him wherever he walked. "See, she loves you now," Tenten said. "Well I'd better be going; I heard that there's a Spiritual Stone that I have to earn for Princess Sakura. It's called the Goron Ruby. Do you have any idea where that is?" Sasuke asked. Tenten shrugged, "I'm not sure. But what I do know is that there's a girl at the Kokiri Forest. She knows where all the Spiritual Stones are so why don't you go ask her," Tenten said. "Do you know what the girl's name is?" Sasuke asked. "I believe that it's Hinata," Tenten answered. "Okay, thanks," Sasuke said and ran toward his homeland avoiding monsters. Since it was early in the morning no skeletons would come out of the ground, but he had to watch out for Peahats, which were motion sensing propelling flying enemies. "Navi, there's so many areas we can enter. Which one leads to Kokiri Forest?" Sasuke asked. Navi sighed, "Just follow me."
