YAY!! Chapter two! Inside the Great Deku Tree! Hope you enjoy it!

Journey through the Great Deku Tree: Part One.

Link woke with a start, breathing heavily he scans the room, spotting Navi the fairy sitting impatiently on top of the doorframe.

"About time you woke up! We have to go save the Great Deku Tree now!" Link sighed, he was kind of hoping that the whole day before was just a dream.

"I don't think I am the right person... The Great Deku Tree, has to have made a mistake. It's okay though, I know everyone makes mistakes, check out me!" Navi flies into Link's face.
"You idiot! The only mistake you're making, is letting the Great Deku Tree die! He doesn't make mistakes! Now with all the training we did yesterday, we're going in and helping the Great Deku Tree, today!!" Link sighs and drags his feet out the door, and towards the meadow.

The Great Deku Tree creeks and groans painfully as the pair enter the meadow. Link bows his head feeling guilty, the Great Deku Tree's condition seems to have worsen since yesterday.

"You have returned. Now tell me, dost thou have courage enough?" Taking a deep breath, Link nods his head.

"Then enter, brave Link, and thou too, Navi... Navi the fairy... Thou must aid Link... And Link... When Navi speaks, listen well to her words of wisdom..." The Great Deku Tree drops his mouth, and Link enters.

The entrance to the Great Deku Tree is covered in webs, the smell of mould and rot fills Navi and Link's nose, enemies scattered around the walls.

"What is that?"

"Deku Baba"
"But it's moving!"
"There are different kinds of Deku Baba, the ones that stand up, and these ones which lunge at you. Just try not to be eaten by it. If you stun them, they're just like the other Deku Baba, if you kill them quickly, they drop Deku Nuts." Link ready's his sword and shield.

"What's a Deku Nut?"

"They can be used to stun enemies."

After killing all the Deku Baba in the small room, Link leans against a wall wiping sweat from his brow.

"Hey! Look at this wall! The vines growing on it give it a rough surface... Maybe you can climb it Link!"Link frowns as Navi zips around the room examining everything.

"Look, Look, Link! You can see down below this web!"

"Calm down..."

"Let's keep going Link!"

Link sighs and climbs the vine to a platform, he jumps across to another, glancing up the walls hearing scratching, he pulls a face at the large skulls spinning in circles on the vines.

"Eh! What are they?"

"They're Skullwalltula."

"Skullwa?" Navi sighs.
"Skull-wall-tula." She rolls her eyes. "Just be careful not to touch them, okay?"

"Sure thing." Link walks over to the oversized chest, and standing on tip-toe opens the lid, he leans in and retrieves a map. "This will come in handy!" He opens the map, examining it. "... But I don't know where I'm supposed to be going!"

"Hmm... Looks like we'll have to find a compass too..." And on that note, Link jumped across to another platform and opens the door there.

Looking around the long room, he sees a shrub in the middle of the floor, and a door on the otherside, he takes a step forward smiling, before he hears a thud behind him, he spins quickly to see that he's now locked in.

"Navi! We're locked in!"

"Don't panic you big baby, just knock some sense into that Deku Scrub and he might let us out" The shrub shakes, and lifts slightly to let two glowing red eyes stare blankly at them from across the room.

"Knock some sense into him? But look at him! He looks so harmle-" The Deku Scrub lifts his head and shoots a large Deku Nut at Link, Navi laughs as Link jumps out of the way.

"Yeah, harmless!"

"Shut up you!" Link marches up to the shrub, frowning, the Deku Scrub hides his head back under the ground. "How am I ment to 'knock some sense' into him if he keeps hiding?!"

"Well step back for one, they're not that stupid. When he sticks his head back out, use your shield to knock the Deku Nut back at him."

"You say it like it's the most obvious thing in the world." Navi rolls her eyes, and Link stands near the door and lifts his shield. There's a thud against his shield, and a squeal, Link lowers his shield and sees the Deku Scrub bouncing around the room tears brimming his blank, glowing eyes. "Now what?"

"Go stand on his home, he'll try to bargain with you. Most Deku Scrub bargains are good, so I suggest you take them, 'cause they don't always let you have it again." Link races over to stand on the patch of dirt and the Deku Scrub turns and faces Link, shaking from side to side.

"Ow-ow-ow! Forgive me, master! If I give you a clue, will you let me go?" Link smiles to himself at the word 'master', and he nods his head.

"When you jump off a high cliff, if you roll across the ground when you land you won't get hurt from the fall."

"Cool!" Says Link excitedly, and th Deku Scrub stops shaking, laughter in it's eyes.

"I can't guarantee it will work, though, if the cliff if really, really high, heh, heh! Well try it if you are feeling bold. Wah ha ha!" the Deku Scrub runs past link and out of sight.
"Well that was weird..." The bars lift from the doors.
