A Hero? Why Us? Chapter 4: Begin the Journey To the Deku, a legend of zelda fanfic

After getting smacked several times by the ominous floating ball of light, which upon further inspection, was actually a full bodied creature, little legs, brown hair, little golden-purplish hues. This wasn't just some piece of cotton candy infused with fluorescent stuff. She calmed, trying the best she could think rationally about all this, though really the only thing that flashed across her mind were the screenshots of that game, which now, somehow, seemed to be actually real... maybe some witch or oracle on Earth had a premonition of the place, but seriously. LinkLuver had never said anything about people from the temples that were the temple guardians.. ultimately infused with the temple's power. Which was so confusing... why would she be a person infused with a power of some building... yeah like buildings really had power. LinkLuver had said something about the sages of temples... the sages being like representatives to the individual temples. And what was she more than that? Come on, she knew that she didn't fit in, having round ears instead of pointed like the fairy, Edo, and the Kokiri down further in the forest. Was this seriously like a game show? If it was, they were doing a really good job.

After following the little fairy through the woods, she could only swallow and feel her heart pounding harder and harder until she thought it may explode in her chest, watching the masses of green move by as she followed. This was too strange... and there didn't seem a very possible explanation for a stage being large enough to hold the distance that she had already covered.

"You'll just get a blade. From the legends they say that the Shadow doesn't need a shield. They hold natural instincts to fighting, and are very agile. Also that if the one is a Sheikah... they can use the magic of the near extinct race." She raised her eyebrow at the little fairy as he spoke. She didn't get a shield.. and what was all this Sheikah and magic and extinction speak? Natural instincts to fight? Yeah. Right. As she continued walking, she could feel something tugging at the back of her mind, almost like something was calling out to her.

"What the...?" She whispered out, reaching a hand up to her head as it got stronger and stronger. What ever was doing this, they were approaching, and fairly quickly too. She bit her lip as the strange feeling almost seemed painful, though once reaching a small cleared section of the woods, it faded as she set eyes on a carefully set up stand, gleaming black sheath, the hilt of the sword a deep crimson color. Drawn to it, she started for it, knowing that this was what had been nagging at the back of her mind.

Edo had guided her back out to meet with the Water guardian, after he had gotten the blonde into new gear that were more suitable for the journey ahead. The child was now dressed in a deep purple tunic, her blond hair standing out against the dark fabric, the blade and scabbard strapped to her back. Edo had her practice with it a little, so she could unsheathe and sheath the sword with less difficulty. The girl had flat out refused to wear shin guards that he recommended for the first couple days, and generally refused to wear anything but the tunic, the sword and the black leather boots that Chelsie didn't find any real purpose for.. though she accepted them, though when he tried to push the rest on her, she refused with a cry of 'I already look stupid enough for national television'.

Finding Favero and Navi, he smiled, before glancing back at Chelsie. "Hurry!" He cried out before flying up ahead. "I've got her, and her gear." He smiled a little, then stopped. "Wait.. Navi weren't you supposed to go get Link?" He questioned as Chelsie mumbled under her breath before looking to Arethusa.

"So you're the Water Temple guardian..." She let out softly, barely smiling. No she was too unhappy with Edo to really smile.

Arethusa

winced at the phrase water temple guardian. She shuffled her feet and nodded idly, ignoring the girl's piercing glare. She understood her confusion and aggravation, Arethusa wasn't too confident about all of this herself. She really just wanted proof that this wasn't some trick or a figment of her imagination. She sighed, leaning against a large stump behind her and waited for Navi to rejoin them with Link. Hearing the idlic silence of nature, Arethusa began to get heavily uncomfortable.

"My name is Arethusa." She said simply, brushing back her hair. She stared straight into Chelsie's eyes, her green and Chelsie's blue. "I'm from New York."
Favero cleared her throat and corrected her softly, Arethusa was from Hyrule. Arethusa rolled her eyes and frowned. She liked change and travel but this particular topic unnerved her. To actually believe that her parents may have lied or been lied to frightened her. Arethusa's heart started to pound as she thought of what was required of her on this journey, if it was entirely real. She shook her head and distracted herself with thoughts of what she called home. Favero gently tapped Arethusa's left shoulder to get her attention. Link had arrived.
Arethusa stepped forward with Chelsie, out of the shadow of the clearing and into the startlingly bright center. She spotted Navi, a glitteringly ball of silver and gold, high above the tall maze. Arethusa's blood pounded in her ears, surely they couldn't be leaving yet. No, they had to have more time! That's all she needed, more time.

She smirked slightly. "The city or the state?" She asked, letting the smirk edge up into a more real smile as her mind drifted from Edo. So she wasn't the only one dragged into this game show or what not. Still... why? She wondered and wondered, but couldn't figure anything out, and with fairies hissing sharply that they were from Hyrule didn't really help much either. "Chelsie." She let out, giving her name out a couple seconds after. Might as well get to know one another while they were caught up in this game.. though it started to seem more real as time went by.

Turning, she rolled her eyes a little, seeing one of them Kokiri running towards them, only to realize that this was Link... Right. He wasn't really a Kokiri, but he thought he was! That she did know, since LinkLuver was blabbing a bit too much. "Soooo..." She let out, though Edo cut in sharply, almost eager to set off. This was the world they were going to safe, and the world included him. He didn't want to die.

"All right! Let's get going!" He cried out, carrying a large smile that quickly faded upon sensing Chelsie's gaze on him. He swallowed, though worked the smile back up. "Link apparently has his gear, so we can start off immediately." He flew out of range as Chelsie swatted at him in irritation.

"Man... I'm still convinced this is some sort of game show though..." She mumbled, starting off. "All right... let's go I guess..." The child was stubborn was all that Edo could really come up with. She was stubborn and difficult to work with, though she'd soon realize that this... game show she called it, was reality, and literally... life or death.

"Hey! Wait up!" He called out, flying after the irritated blonde, who just grunted a little, trying to remember what she remembered from her conversation the night before. There was a picture... of Link standing next to this little heavy weight red head kid... LinkLuver had commented that she didn't like the kid.. what was his name... Mido? Yes yes and she had said he was a pain in the ass, and trying to be the big tough guy. Wouldn't let people by to go to the Deku she had said as well. Well now.. if she met any resistance with this kid, which she doubted that she wouldn't, she'd just butch him good. Though she was thoroughly aware that she stuck out badly, her dark tunic sticking out, and Arethusa's tunic and robe were clashing terribly against the green all around them, making the two only more noticeable.

Marching straight up to Mido, she smirked a little, snarling out, "Move, ya lil pipsqueak," though really he was about her height...

Staring at the Kokiri with a fairly hard stare, really just wanting this torment and humility to be over, she about grabbed him by the collar as he shook his head stubbornly. Biting back on her lip, she listened as he said that he couldn't let them pass without them having a sword and a shield. Reaching up to her own blade, she growled, very angry with the fact that the nation's amusement would keep continuing, watching a couple of children on a game show be made fun of. Maybe if she threatened this kid, people would come out from back stages and try to save him. Yes that seemed like a great idea.

Edo nearly fainted. Why'd he have to get the angry one!? Why did he get the one that was short tempered?! Really! He called out to her, but apparently not loud enough, either that or she was just deaf in her own anger. "Chelsie! Don't do something stupid!"

She smirked a little, reaching out and swatting at the fairy. "Shut up." Turning back to Mido, she made the draw her sword, though stopped, narrowing her eyes slightly before moving towards him, side stepping to the side and shoving him harshly out of the way. "I told you to move your freakin ass." She snapped. She didn't want to keep being here, obviously on camera. She wanted to suddenly just find some person from the game show's staff, then it'd be over! "All right.. let's go..." She whispered out, her anger calming, though it wouldn't reach a full calm until she found out the truth beneath everything that was going on.
