Disclaimer: She started over because she didn't get all 134 figurines. Sad.
A/N: You know what, Disclaimer? I'm going to ignore you this chapter! ahem Welcome, and listen up: I have another spoiler character showing up! Meet Sarah the Kokiri! …Later on in the chapter…
Chapter Four: Sarah the survivor Kokiri, a forbidding presence, and Farore's Pearl.
Chikara waved goodbye to Medli. "Thanks again, Medli! Ja ne!"
Medli nodded. "Yeah, ja ne! Aaah! Komali, mate!"
Chikara smiled after them. "Kawaii… Red Lions, Chikara-chan received Din's Pearl! Is this what you were looking for? Feel it, it's so powerful!"
Red Lions sighed. "About time you showed up! We have no time to waste! Evil is spreading faster then I thought! We need to gather the other two pearls of the goddesses! Come on, we sail south, for the
Forest Haven!"
"The forest?" asked Emily, sitting on Red Lions head.
Chikara frowned, and got on the boat. "No good job Chikara!?Or at least a we did it!?"
"Good job Chikara!" said Emily in mock praise. "We did it!"
Chikara glared at Emily.
"South," Red Lions repeated, hinting Chikara to use the baton.
"South…?" repeated Chikara, knowing the wind was still blowing northeast. "Okay…" Chikara pulled out the silver baton, and conducted the Winds Requiem.
"Direction?" asked the wind spirit.
Chikara just now noticed it was the Wind Spirit within who asked him before. "Kyaa! Wind Spirit!" he asked.
"Yep! That's me! Now, direction!" she said impatiently.
"South, then…" Chikara trailed off, falling face-first onto the boat.
Emily smiled. "Yep, we'll definitely have lots of fun."
Red Lions shook his head. "What a wimp…" He set up the sail, and set off for the Forest Haven.
Meanwhile, in the Forest Haven…
A girl with flaming red hair with two thick blond strands looked out to sea, feeling the wind come to the forest. "Kono keihai…" she said suddenly, standing up. Toki no eiyuu… Masaka?" She blinked. "And Emily!"
As she continually stared out at the sea, a small little Korok by the name Elma came running to her. "Sarah, Sarah! The Great Deku Tree wants to see you!"
Sarah looked down at Elma and nodded. "Okay… Tell him I'm coming in." Elma nodded, and ran of inside. Sarah glanced back at the sea. "Wait… It's not Lee… Definitely Emily, but," she added silently to herself, "If it's not Lee… Why does it have the same presence…" Sarah shook her head, and followed Elma inside the Forest Haven…
"Deku Tree, Elma said you wanted to see me…"
The ancient tree nodded. "Yes, I do… From the look on your face, you felt it, too, didn't you Sarah? The presence of the toki no eiyuu? The Hero of Time?"
Sarah nodded. "Yes… Only, it didn't seem like it… It was more like a glimpse… I mean, it feels like Lee… But my heart tells me that it's not Lee…"
Elma watched the Deku Tree and Sarah talk. "But, Great Deku Tree! Someone can't be coming! What if they are an evil elf? Or… Something evil! They'll want it hurt you, Deku Tree!" said Elma, running next to Sarah. "What if Sarah can't fight it off!"
Sarah smiled down at Elma. "Shinpai shinaide… I won't let anything hurt you Koroks or the Great Deku Tree…"
"Sarah, you must never underestimate your foes… Be prepared for anything…" The Tree smiled. "You really are impressive, Sarah… To be the only Kokiri still alive… Well, how about you go practice your song for the performance? I'm sure Makar is playing outside still, but he may practice soon…"
Sarah nodded. "Wakarimasu. I'll go practice then…" Sarah pulled out her staff, and patted Elma. "You are a good kid, Elma. Thank you for worrying about me… Now go find Makar so we can practice for the ceremony." Sarah swung her staff, turning it into a propeller Deku Leaf. "Tell him I'll be practicing up in the usual spot…"
Elma nodded. "Got it, Sarah! Good luck!"
Sarah sat down way up on a high cliff close to the top of the Haven, putting the staff away and pulling out an ocarina… A light brown ocarina with a leaf near the mouthpiece. "That's right… I am the only Kokiri around… Maybe Lee and the others never survived…" Sarah sighed, and began to play the Fairy Ocarina…
The next day, with Chikara and Emily…
When Chikara woke up around nine PM, he saw the King of Red Lions trying to check the sea chart without dropping it in the water. "What are you doing?" Chikara asked wearily.
"Trying to see where we are right now… If we're heading in the right direction or not… Strange, though, your sea chart is hard to read."
"Yeah, it is…" remarked Emily. She, too, was looking at the sea chart. "You know what, though? It looks empty."
"Then let Chikara-chan hold it, and we'll see!" Chikara grabbed the chart and held it out for Red Lions and Emily to read.
"Gaah!" he cried. "You…. Chikara, you call this a sea chart! It only has Outset Island on it! I thought I was having difficulty reading it, but it's EMPTY!" Red Lions growled. "Chikushoo… How can we find out where we are if Chikara here has a pathetic excuse for a sea chart!" asked Red Lions to the sky.
"Luck," answered Emily with a smirk
Chikara frowned and put the sea chart away. "Fine, if you want to be that way! Besides, don't you know these seas? A boat like you should know, right!"
"I never explored all the Great Sea! Sheesh… Fine, we'll just keep heading south. We'll know if we make it or not…"
Chikara sighed, and laid back. "This will take forever…" Emily nodded agreement.
"Hey, man the tiller!" said Red Lions, stopping instantly.
Emily turned back. "Yeah, you lazy boy!"
"Nan de? Chikara-chan is tired…" Chikara said, putting a hand on the tiller. "Better?"
Red Lions sighed exasperatedly. This will take forever… thought Red Lions.
Chikara looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, feeling the moons magic around him. "Oka-san… Are you up there…? Dancing with the moon fairies?"
Red Lions glanced back at Chikara. "I'm a bit curious… I think your mother was a Night Elf, right?" Chikara nodded, not saying anything. "I hear Night Elves really do turn to moon fairies when they… pass away," finished Red Lions, looking back at the horizon.
Emily looked up at the moon, too. "Wow… Its so beautiful…"
Chikara closed his eyes, delving himself in memories of his mom. "Chikara-chan can't even remember oka-sans name…" Chikara admitted, voice shaking a little. Emily turned Red Lions head slightly to look at Chikara. "Can't remember… All Chikara-chan can remember is oka-sans voice… A calm, caring voice…" Chikara felt a tear slid down his face. "Is it terrible… That Chikara-chan can't remember his own mother…?" he asked quietly, slowly falling asleep.
Red Lions looked sympathetic. "No, it isn't, Chikara… Go ahead and rest… I'll wake you up when we get there."
"Poor kid," added Emily, looking back at the moon.
Chikara's dream…
"Chikara-chan… Chikara-chan, wake up," said a kind voice.
"Mmm… 5 more minutes, Red Lions…" muttered Chikara.
The voice chuckled softly. "Red Lions… I wonder if he's dreaming… Now, now, Chikara, you certainly don't want to keep oka-san waiting, do you?"
Chikara opened his eyes. Masaka! He sat up, and saw his mothers face. She had orange-blond hair, and her sapphire blue eyes were diamond shaped, like Arylls are today… "Oka-san…?" he asked.
She smiled. "Of course it's me, Chikara. When did you ever doubt?" she stood up and walked to the stove. "You woke up just in time for dinner… I'm glad you're so much like a Night Elf, Chikara…" she laughed lightly. "Like me… How about you go get Aryll, then? Tell her dinner will be ready in 20 minutes."
Chikara nodded, and stood up. If this is a dream about a memory… What does it mean? "Okay, oka-san! Chikara-chan will go get Aryll…" He walked to the door, and looked around Outset Island. "It looks the same…" Chikara looked down on himself, and noticed that he has to be about 7 years old… "Aryll!" he called, and ran to the lookout post.
"Hai, oni-chan?" asked a 4-year-old Aryll, looking out to sea with her telescope.
"Oka-san says that dinner will be ready in 20 minutes… Aa-choo!" sneezed Chikara suddenly.
Aryll glanced away from her lookout to look at Chikara. "Are you okay? I told you that running around at night could get you ill…"
Chikara sniffled. "Chikara-chan is okay… Come on, oka-sans waiting…" Chikara and Aryll climbed down the ladder and walked back to their house. "Oka-san, tadaima!"
His mother turned to look at Chikara and Aryll. "Okay, then. Wait patiently. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Hai, oka-san," said Aryll, walking to the carpet.
But Chikara realized that something wasn't right… Wasn't it that he was ill around now…? "Um, oka-san?"
"Yes, Chikara?"
"Uh… What-What's your name again?"
She tilted her head curiously. "My name, Chikara? It's Lea—" she suddenly paused, and answered, "My name's Mikomi, Chikara… You can't have forgotten, have you?"
Chikara shook his head. "Iie… Just… Just making sure Chikara-chan—" Chikara suddenly coughed.
Aryll looked at Mikomi. "Oka-san, I think Chikara is catching a cold!"
Chikara shook his head. No… No, this is how Oka-san died… she caught it from Chikara-chan… can't… let... it… Chikara collapsed on the floor.
"Chikara!" cried Aryll, and she and Mikomi ran over to Chikara. "Chikara! Chikara, wake up!"
End of dream…
"Chikara, wake up!" said Red Lions.
Chikara bolted up, looking around. "Oka-san!"
Red Lions looked back at Chikara. "Yeah, you mentioned her in your sleep… Did you dream about her?"
Chikara shook his head. "No… No, never mind… Then, we're here?"
Red Lions looked up. "Yep, we are. Here is where we'll find the next pearl… At the Forest Haven…"
"Forest Haven…" repeated Chikara, trying to forget the dream. "And Chikara-chan will find another pearl here?"
Red Lions nodded. "Yep, Farore's Pearl. Go on, then…" The red sailboat sighed. "I'll just wait
here…" he told Chikara in a bored voice.
Chikara nodded, and was about to walk away when he saw Emily snoring loudly on Red Lions head. "Uhm… Should Chikara-chan wake Emily up?"
"If you want to… but to tell you the truth, Emily kept an eye on you last night. She even stood up and turned around so she could watch you. Up all night, she was. I wonder why…"
Emily watched Chikara-chan all night…? That's strange… Chikara walked up the small hill… When a big plant with a mouth shot out form a small bulbous plant. "KYAAA!" yelled Chikara, backing up from the piranha-ish plant. "Red-Red Lions! What is that!"
The King of Red Lions glanced up at Chikara and the plant. "Oh, that? That's just a Boko Baba. Nothing to worry about. Just don't stare it, don't make any sudden movements, and… be careful," finished Red Lions.
Chikara stared at the plant, then shook his head. "Don't stare at it!" he reminded himself, and tiptoed quietly past the Boko, who watched him tiptoe by. Oh! Chikara suddenly thought. It… Stinks! Chikara pinched his nose, and continued to tiptoe past the other two Boko's. One licked its lips. Gaah! Can't hold it… Chikara gasped out loud. The plants sprung to life trying to reach Chikara. "Aaack!"
"Oi! Leave him alone!" said a voice harshly from above, and someone came down, holding a staff with ribbons hanging from it. "Bad Boko!" she scolded the plant, whacking it with her staff. The Boko yelped and hid under its plant disguise. The girl sighed and turned her head at Chikara. "…."
Chikara gulped. "Um… Who are you?" he asked, a hint of fear in his voice. Way behind him (still in the water, as he's a boat) Red Lions lifted his head sharply, and Emily fell into the boat, still snoring loudly.
She took a step back, continuing to hide in the shadows. "No, the question is who are you?"
"Chikara-chan's name is Chikara-chan, and—"
"Chikara-chan?" the girl repeated. Then her eyes narrowed. "Come on in, then…" She backed up, and jumped out of sight.
"Aaah! Mate!" he called up, but she was already gone. "Wow… Who was that?" asked Chikara, looking back at Red Lions.
Red Lions didn't respond for a bit. Masaka? Is that Sarah? But.. But that's impossible! Because… Because Hyrule is… No longer… He shook his head. "Nope, I have no idea. Now go on, I'm sure that girl's in there, waiting for you."
Chikara nodded, and continued to walk to the entrance…
Red Lions glanced at Emily. "If you don't wake up soon, you'll miss Sarah…"
"But a forest is a VERY safe spot… Lee will be okay…" mumbled Emily, rolling over.
"Never mind…"
10 minutes later…
Chikara entered the Forest Haven, admiring the mass amount of nature inside. "Wow! Its so green in here!" exclaimed Chikara, feeling the magic dancing around him. "Now…. Where is that girl…?" Chikara looked up at a particularly tall tree. "Hmm… Strange, it's as if this tree has a face…" Chikara laughed out loud. "But that's impossible! Trees don't have voices! Tree's lost their faces centuries ago!"
"Aa soo?" asked a voice that seemed to be coming from the tall tree itself.
Chikara's eyes went wide, and he glanced at the tree nervously. "Did-Did the tree talk… But, Chikara-AAAAH!" shouted Chikara, as the lily pad he was standing on suddenly shot up a few feet, meeting eye level with the tree. "Nani!"
The tree opened its eyes. "Konnichiwa, eiyuu," he said. Chikara went wide-eyed again. "Nani? Chikara ga wakarimasen? Anata toki no eiyuu? Lee?"
Chikara backed up a bit. "So-Sorry, but Chikara-chan can't understand you… Chikara-chan is looking for a girl who asked Chikara-chan in here… So…"
The tree's face saddened. "Chikara ga wakarimasen… Hai, aa soo…" The tree sighed. "Forgive me, Chikara… I saw your clothing, and was reminded of… never mind… True, it was Sarah who asked you to come in here, but she thought…" The tree glanced upward. "She's up there, if you want to meet her… But first… Koroks! Children of the Forest! Come on out, this boy is no harm! Be content, and come say hello!" At these words, a whole bunch of mini-tree-shaped things popped out from behind the trees upper branches.
The Koroks all glided down on what looked like (to Chikara) pinwheel stem and leaf. "Swordsman, what is you name?" asked a light green Korok.
"Chi-Chikara-chan's name is Chikara-chan…"
"Chikara?" repeated an orange Korok.
"That's a strange name!" remarked a light green Korok.
"Now, now, Aldo, don't be rude… I have a feeling that Chikara is here to help us out. Sarah thinks so, anyway."
"Sarah!" repeated Rown scornfully. "What does she know about friends and foes! All she does around here is daydream and worry about her long lost love from 1000 years ago! She's but a mere Kokiri!"
A/N: Here's all the Koroks descriptions…Makar is Makar. (you should know Makar! The cute, chibi fat one! )
Hollo the Potion Korok
Olivio is the orange Korok with a purple-ish pink leaf.
Aldo is a light green Korok.
Oakin is a light brown Korok.
Drona is an olive green Korok with a yellow leaf.
Irch is a red-orange Korok with a huge dark green leaf.
Rown is an orange Korok with a yellow-green maple leaf.
Elma is a light brown Korok with a round green leaf.
Linder is a light green Korok with a butterfly shaped leaf.
"Do you want to know what I do around here!" shouted a girls angry voice, and when Chikara looked up, he saw the same girl he saw at the entrance glaring down from the way top. Sarah had flaming red hair with two thick blond stands, and she was wearing all green…
An outfit similar to Chikara-chans outfit! thought Chikara, heart racing.
Sarah swung her staff, turning it into a pinwheel leaf, and she glided down. "Well, Chikara!" she said happily. "It looks like you came! But didn't someone else come with you?"
Chikara nodded. "Mm-Hmm. Emily is outside, asleep… And the King of Red Lions sent Chikara-chan to… Well, he said that the Farore's Pearl could help us out in rescuing Aryll, Chikara-chans sister…"
The Great Deku Tree nodded. "Yes, in fact, I do have the Farore's Pearl, but before I hand it to you, I must insist that we complete the ceremony that the Koroks hold every year! Are we all ready?" asked the Deku Tree.
"N-No, we are not, Great Deku Tree!" cried the trembling voice of Linder, and he came gliding down.
"Linder?" asked Sarah. "Where's Makar?"
"That-That's the problem, Sarah, Deku Tree… Makar decided that he could fly against the wind, and tried to do so, but then… then the wind suddenly got really strong, as though surprised-" (Chikara gasped at that, and wondered if….) "-And it blew him…." Linder burst into frightful tears. "He fell into the Forbidden Woods!"
"WHAT!" bellowed the Great Deku Tree, surprised.
"The—The Forbidden Woods! I tried to stop him, Deku Tree! I really did!" sobbed Linder. "But he wouldn't listen! He thought we all were teasing him behind his back because he's the smallest of us all!"
Sarah kneeled beside Linder. "Daijoobu, don't cry…" she said soothingly.
"Into the Forbidden Woods…" repeated the talking tree angrily. "Foolish Makar… What was he thinking…? Sarah! You heard everything, right!" Sarah nodded, standing up. "Good! I want you to go to the Forbidden Woods and go get Makar! He can't have gone that far…"
Sarah nodded. "Yes, Great Deku Tree! I'll do it!"
Chikara perked up. "And—And Chikara-chan will help, too! It wouldn't be fair if Chikara-chan got the Farore's Pearl without helping you out in return!"
Deku Tree nodded. "Alright, then, Chikara… But you won't be able to get to the Forbidden Woods without flying there…"
"But Deku Tree, he's a wingless elf! He can't fly!" protested Rown.
"Yes, thank you, Rown," said Deku Tree. "Well, then… I can't give you wings, Chikara… but I can give you the ability to fly with a leaf! Here, take this…" He roared loudly and a single green leaf appeared at the top of him. "Phew… That took a lot… I'm sorry, Chikara, but you'll have to get up there to use it…"
"No problemo, Deku Tree!" said Sarah cheerfully. "I'll carry him up there! Chikara here is as light as a feather, possibly lighter!" Sarah smiled. "He hasn't eaten properly in a long time. Not only that, but
Chikara also has a lot of emotional pains on his heart, and he's worried about something…"
Chikara gaped at Sarah. "How… How did… Do you…? Uh, that is, are you… reading Chikara-chans mind or something….?"
Sarah just smiled, and turned around. "Go on, then, climb on. I'll carry you up there, and meet you outside, okay?"
Chikara went a bit red, and put his hands on Sarah's shoulders. "Th-There…"
"Alright, then! Don't worry, Koroks, Deku Tree! Chikara and I will go get Makar back as quick as we can! Ja ne!" Sarah swung her staff and flew up to the top of the Great Deku Tree. "Okay, there you go… Wait, do you have magic power, Chikara?"
Chikara shook his head. "No… Chikara-chan can't even change the direction of the wind without knocking himself out…"
"Change the wind?" repeated Sarah curiously. "You mean… Ah-hah! I knew it! The Wind Spirit! She dwells within you! I knew I felt something from you, Chikara! Can you talk to her, or can I talk to her? No, you're right!" said Sarah suddenly, looking serious. "We need to find Makar! Meet you outside!" Sarah flew to a cliff and ran outside.
"Sarah!" called Chikara, then sighed. "Fine…" he looked at the Deku Leaf and picked it up. "Don't tell Chikara-chan that he needs magic for this…" Chikara looked over at the cliff, then back at the Leaf. "Do… Does Chikara-chan just jump, and deploy this…?" Chikara looked down, and felt a bit dizzy. "Kyaa…" he muttered, jumped, and held up the Deku Leaf, using it parachute-like. "Oh, no…" Chikara breathed, because upon entering, he collapsed on the floor.
Curious, Sarah looked back in, then sighed. "You have no magic at all? Hmm… I got it! Emi, come out! Chikara needs magic!"
A small, circular winged Fairy came out from under Sarah's bandana. He was a dark blue-purple Fairy with a black crescent moon on him. "Yes, Sarah…" he said, and flew around Chikara. "Magic power I bestow on behalf of Sarah!" incanted Emi, and Emi shook some black Fairy dust on him. "There, Sarah! Just call when you need me!"
Sarah nodded, and knelt down besides Chikara. "Chikara?" she asked, gently shaking him awake.
Chikara blinked slowly awake. "Eh…? Nani…?" he asked, sitting up. "Sarah?" he asked.
Sarah nodded, smiling. "Yes, sir! The one and only!"
Chikara shook his head, and stood up. "Thank you… Chikara-chan doesn't have magic, so he…"
"Don't worry!" said Sarah, walking outside. "Come on, now! We have no time to waste!"
She sounds like Red Lions… thought Chikara, following Sarah. "How will we get to the Forbidden Woods?"
Sarah walked to the edge of the cliff, and didn't answer. "Hmm… He now has magic of his own…" she muttered, looking at the far-off Forbidden Woods. "Maybe Chikara could make it…." She turned to Chikara. "Tell me, Chikara… Are you a patient person?"
"Yeah, sort of… Why?"
"Because the winds blowing the wrong way! It is blowing southeast, the absolute opposite of the direction we want to go! Northwest! We'll have to… Wait, you…" Sarah suddenly said, seeing Chikara pull out the Baton of the Winds. "You… You are the Wind Waker, Chikara!"
Chikara nodded. "Yeah… Remember, Chikara-chan told you that he could change the direction of the wind… But it takes magic energy, and…"
"Well, Emi, my Fairy, gave you some magic energy!" replied Sarah, smiling happily. "So don't worry. It's not as much as mine, but it'll be enough to get you over there." She nodded to the woods. "Well, then, change the wind to help us out!"
"Okay, Sarah…" Chikara conducted the Winds Requiem.
"Direction yet again? Sheesh, I'd better get used to it, we'll be seeing a lot of each other, seeing as though you may become—Direction?" asked the Wind Spirit, suddenly cutting herself off.
"Become? Become what?" asked Chikara.
"Never you mind!" she snapped. "Now, direction!"
"Northwest," said Chikara, curiosity burning like mad inside him. "Hmm?" he said, realizing he didn't fall like last time. "Wow! Chikara-chan really has magic!" he asked.
"Hee, hee… What did I tell you, Chikara?" asked Sarah, pulling her staff out. "Well, then, follow me. I'm quite sure we'll make it over there!"
4 minutes and 25 seconds later…
"Wow! Gliding is so fun, Sarah!" said Chikara, feeling lifted in spirits.
Sarah simply smiled again. "Well, then, come on in… Into the Forbidden Woods. There's a reason the Great Deku Tree didn't want us all to go in here… About 6 days ago, an evil presence has been felt around the Great Sea… And monsters have been appearing in these woods… The Koroks used to play and frolic here, but now…" Sarah shook her head. "Well, let's explore around here…"
Chikara nodded, but he had something on his mind. Sarah said that evil began to arise over the Great Sea about six days ago… Around Chikara-chan 12th birthday! And Mokuju said the very same thing! But… but Chikara-chan can't have caused it be turning twelve… Because, Chikara-chan is against the evil!
"Ne, Chikara-chan! Come here… See that plant right there?"
A/N: The layout of the dungeons is different, in case you didn't notice.
"You mean the one on the door?" asked Chikara.
"Mmm hmm. It will hide if we get to close to the plant, so we have to attack it from afar… Do you have any far-range weapons to attack with?"
"Nope… Unless a grappling hook will help?"
Sarah sighed. "Okay, then…" She swung her staff, changing it into a banana-shaped weapon.
"Whoa! How are you doing that!" asked Chikara.
"This staff…" Sarah paused, sighing. "Did you believe Rown when he said that I was just a 1000 year old daydreamer?"
"No, of course not! In fact, Chikara-chan thought it was quite rude of Rown!"
Sarah smiled at Chikara gratefully. "Thanks… Well, Rown was only half right… I am not a daydreamer, at least not about a long lost love. But… I am.. 1490 years old…"
"Nan—Nani? 1490? Wow… Then, wait! If you are over 1000 years old, then… Then you might know about that ancient land from legend!"
"Hyrule? I'll tell you the story sometime, Chikara. But first, I'll tell you about this staff… Yes, 1000 years ago, there was a Hyrule, and there was an enchanted forest called the Kokiri Forest. All Kokiri lived in the Forest. Yes, even the hero from legend, even though he wasn't Kokiri. That's why "The Hero of Time" was wearing green… His name was Lee."
"Lee…" repeated Chikara. "Then the Hero of Time's real name is Lee?"
"Yes… And he wasn't 12 when he fought Ganondorf and won. He was about 17 or 18. I should know, I fought along side him."
"Wow! Sarah, that's amazing!"
"Hmm… Back to the staff…" Sarah held it up the boomerang. "This staff is a magic item I created myself… I was planning on going on an adventure, and my Fairy friend Emi helped me create it. Then the Great Deku Tree sent Lee on a mission to save Hyrule, and wanted me to come with him. Well," said Sarah aiming the boomerang at the plant on the door. "We'd better not dawdle. We'd better go save Makar." With that, Sarah swung the boomerang at the plant, and it died.
Chikara followed Sarah to the room. This will take a long time….
With Makar…
Makar walked around, looking for his Deku Leaf. He had dropped it somewhere when he had crash-landed. "Ooh… I'm going to be in soo much trouble…" he said to himself, checking under a log. "But I need to fly out of here, and my leaf is lost…"
"Makar!" a girl called off in the distance.
"Sarah!" said Makar happily. "What is she doing here! Did the Great Deku Tree send her?"
"Makar!" called another voice, but this was a boy's voice, a very young boy.
"And someone else, too?" cried Makar astoundedly. "Wow… OH NO!" he suddenly yelled. "I'd better go find Sarah and the other person! The ceremony!"
"Aah… Yuuhan…" said an evil voice behind him.
"Eh?" Makar turned around, and yelled in surprise as a HUGE plant-like jaw swallowed him whole!
With Chikara and Sarah, 1 hour and 34 minutes later…
"See, Chikara! I told you right! See what could've happened if we went left?" Sarah and Chikara had just made it outside the boss room door. "I wonder why we haven't found Makar yet… He can't have gone that far…"
"Yeah… But we also have to defeat the boss within this room… Then maybe Makar will show himself. Chikara-chan's guess is that he's hiding from all the monsters. Well…" Chikara looked up at the boss room lock. "Lets go."
"Yes, lets." Sarah pulled out her staff, and nodded to the door.
Chikara backed up and tossed the keyhole into the lock. "Alright…" He and Sarah exchanged glances, nodded, and walked in…
"Aaah, dezaato…"
Sarah looked up, and gasped out loud. "Aaah! It's huge!"
Chikara nodded. "But how do we defeat this thing?"
"Hajimashita, eiyuu to jojoofu…"
Sarah glared. "How does this thing know Hylian?"
"Chibi Korok ga oishii desu… kodomo-tachi wa?"
"Little Korok was delicious… OH GODS! You ate Makar!"
"Hai. Anata ketsuboo made taberu mo?"
"Not if we kill you first! Chikara, use your boomerang to cut down it's vine! Doing so, this thing… Kalle Demos, will fall down, exposing it's soft interior. Then I will attack. Got it!"
Chikara nodded, pulling out his own boomerang. Taking careful aim, he aimed for some of the monsters tentacles, slicing them down. "There! Now, the other—KYAAA!" A vine came down hard on Chikara.
"Chikara!" cried Sarah, and, turning her staff into a boomerang, and threw it at the vines. The huge plant-like exterior was hanging from one vine. While Kalle Demos was trying to fix this problem, Sarah ran to Chikara. "Chikara, daijoobu ka!"
Chikara sat up, wincing. "Itaii… That-That hurt… Thought Chikara-chan was gonna die! It nearly squashed Chikara-chan!"
Sarah sighed with relief, and tossed the boomerang at the last hanging vine. "There! Wait, Chikara! I'll attack the REAL Kalle Demos!" Sarah swung her staff into a small sword-knife and a wooden shield. "Haiiiiyaaaa!" came her battle cry, and she swung Kalle out of its plant protection. "You don't eat Koroks!" snapped Sarah, and…
SLICE!
"Omigods!" yelled Chikara, for Sarah had just knocked Kalle Demos head off! "Sa-Sarah! Was that necessary!"
Sarah's staff changed into a staff again, and she turned around. "That thing ate Makar… And… Makar and I were supposed to play music for the ceremony… Huh?" For Sarah had just heard something whimpering. "Eh… Makar?" Hardly daring to believe it, Sarah turned around and saw Makar crying on Demos flower petals. "Makar!"
Makar sniffled and looked up. "Sa-Sarah! I thought I he-heard you earlier! I-It when all dark around me after I saw this bi-big mouth, and it swallowed me! I thought I had died!" Makar sobbed loudly.
Chikara stood up slowly, wincing as he walked to Sarah and Makar. "So.. how do we get out?"
"That," answered Sarah, picking Makar up. "Come on, Chikara, to the wind portal…"
Outside the Great Deku Tree…
As soon as they had arrived in the Forest Haven, Makar jumped off Sarah's arms and walked nervously towards the Great Deku Tree. "I'm—I'm sorry, Great Deku Tree!" he said, trying to hold back sobs. "You have warned us so many times, yet still I disobeyed, and went to the Forbidden Woods! I'm sorry!" repeated Makar.
The Great Deku Tree smiled. "That's quite okay, Makar. As long as you're okay, I am no longer worried. Now, Makar… How about you and Sarah play the music as you always do for me?"
Makar jumped up. "Oh! That's—That's right! The ceremony! I'm here now, so lets start!" Makar pulled out a blue ¾ size violin and a red tree-bark bow. "Let's go!"
Sarah smiled and pulled out the Fairy Ocarina. "Relax and enjoy, Chikara…." She said, and she held the ocarina to her mouth, and she and Makar began to play a song.
The Koroks all began to sing a small chord together. Chikara smiled, toe tapping to the music. As the music played, small seeds began to grow on the Great Deku Tree's upper branches. Chikara stared wide-eyed at the seeds. The Koroks grabbed a Deku Leaf each, and flew up to catch the seeds.
"Okay! See you all next year!" called Olivio.
"Have fun! I'm off to the Mother and Child isle!" said Rown.
"May all our trees grow big and strong!" said Elma, and all the Koroks flew off, all heading for different directions to plant some trees.
Sarah and Makar song ended, and Sarah smiled at Chikara. "Don't be so amazed, Chikara."
Chikara blinked, and looked at Sarah. Was it something in her black-green eyes that made him want to look at them all day? He went a bit red at the cheeks, and shook his head. "Sorry, Sarah…"
"No problem, Chikara. I'm not surprised that you are so drawn to forests…" Sarah sighed. "Well… I guess this is goodbye, then…"
Chikara nodded. "Guess so… We'll see each other again, right?" Sarah seemed to be in thought.
Makar looked up at Sarah. "Hey, Sarah, why don't you go adventure with Chikara? I can see in your eyes that you want adventure. You've suffered wanderlust so long, haven't you?"
Sarah blinked down at Makar. "Makar… Are you sure? I mean, we have to practice music for next year… And I…" It was Sarah's turn to go a bit red at the cheeks. "Well, if it's alright with Chikara…"
Chikara nodded. "Yeah, you'd be a great help! Chikara-chan surely can't do this alone!"
"ALRIGHT!" cheered Sarah. "This'll be soo much fun! Come on, let's get out of here and save your sister!"
"Wait, Sarah, Chikara! You almost forgot this didn't you!" The Great Deku Tree sent down the Farore's Pearl to Chikara. "Use it well, Chikara."
Chikara once again could feel an immense power within the pearl. "Okay, Deku Tree! Arigato! Let's go, Sarah!" And Chikara and Sarah ran out of the Forest Haven together.
The Great Deku Tree smiled. "I have a feeling, Sarah, that you just might get your Lee…" Makar looked up curiously at the Deku Tree, shrugged, and practiced his violin for next year.
Outside…
"Red Lions! Chikara-chan got the Farore's Pearl, and the girl we saw's named Sarah! She'll be coming with us!"
Red Lions opened his mouth, but Emily started first. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT ME, CHIKARA! I WANTED ADVENTURE, TOO! THE LEAST YOU COULD'VE DONE WAS WAKE ME UP!"
"Yeah, you've been gone for two days, Chikara!"
Chikara looked confused. "Has Chikara-chan been gone for that long…?"
"YES!" screamed Emily, looking positively livid. Gods, how could he worry me like that! I should
be protecting him!
"Heh, heh… Gomen nasai, Red Lions…"
Sarah stared at the King of Red Lions. "Wait, aren't you—" She then noticed Emily. "Emily!
Wow, it was you!"
Emily looked down. "Oh my! Sarah! It's been a millennium! How have you been!"
"Ah, I've been fine! Jeez, I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Friends forever, through flood and thin! But… What of Lee, Zelda and the kid?"
Sarah saddened. "I… I don't know. I fear they might have…"
"So you want to adventure with us, I reckon?" asked Red Lions.
"Then climb aboard!" said Emily with a smile.
"But this won't do, Emily," said Sarah, hand resting on chin. "There's no room for both of us, Chikara…"
"In that case, stay here," replied Red Lions.
But Sarah smiled. "I have an idea…" Sarah pulled put her staff and said, "Emi! Come on out, we need some space here!"
Emi flew out of Sarah's bandana. "Yes! I've been waiting forever to do this!"
Red Lion's eyes widened. "Sarah. What are you going to do?"
Chikara backed up. "Magic, Sarah?"
Sarah smiled mischievously. "If Emily can go on this adventure, so can her friend. Now, Emi!" Sarah swung her staff around at Red Lions, and Emi shook some black Fairy dust on Red Lions.
The boat blinked. "Huh? Nothing ha-AAAAAAAAUUUUUGHHH!" yelled Red Lions suddenly, as he suddenly grew 3x his original size! "OW! I mean OOWW! By Nayru, Sarah, why did you have to do that!"
"That was fun, Sarah!"
"Cause I am not the girl who sits at home while the man goes to save the day. No, I go help the man save the day."
"But Chikara-chans not a man… he's nowhere near of age!"
Sarah smiled, and Emi flew back into the bandana. "Now we both can come aboard. We both could sit down and relax. See, ain't I a genius?" Sarah climbed aboard the Red Lions, and Chikara followed suit. "Now, then, Red Lions! On to Great Fish Island!"
"YESSS!" cheered Emily. "Let's goooo!"
Women… thought Red Lions, and Chikara set up the sail, and they set sail for Great Fish Island. By some miracle, the Great Fish Island lay northwest of the Forest Haven. Maybe they could get there before evil can touch it!
Day 6
Today, I got the Farore's Pearl, and a new friend. Her name is Sarah, and she is a Kokiri. She says that a land called Hyrule did exist, and that the Hero of Times name was Lee, and they he wore green because he was a Kokiri too? Or did she say Lee was Hylian? Can't remember…
For some reason, though… Hyrule sounds so familiar… And so does the name Lee… And Sarah, I felt like I've met her before… Aah, I'm tired… I'll write more tomorrow… I hope Sarah doesn't mind "manning the tiller" as Red Lions says… Emily won't be able to if she's on Red Lions head…
Emily and Sarah apparently knew each other from 1000 years ago… So that means they both knew this Lee then… I wonder what I, Chikara-chan, have to do with this Lee…
Chikara-chan, Great Sea, 10:13 PM. Status: Soo tired and hungry…
Well, how was it? Muse of Action/Adventure, Chikara-chan himself, is enjoying it, as he and Kazooie are writing this together. For some Drama is in this, too, as you saw earlier into the chapter. Thank you for you support… looks at severe lack of reviews Support… -;
