Hi Again Thanks For the Reviews Everyone! Once Again I don't own Zelda at all!
Hopefully, AncientDirgeDragon You'll Find out who the child was in the next two chapters but why the men were after it will still remain a mystery for some chapters.-
And I would like to thank chibikilana, Dez384, Huanir for the nice review.
The last chapter turned out not exactly the way I hoped it would hopefully though this one will turn out better.
…A Quest of Belonging…
"Poison! ...Kill her! … Don't let her get away! ... Shoot the Horse! Shoot it!..."
A young girl of eight shot up from her bed, sweat drenched her face and her breathing was heavy. Her red eyes darted about the room. Last night's nightmares shot through her head. She clutched her head and shook it to make them disappear, allowing her light brown hair to fall into her face. She leaned against her bed post and heaved a long sigh. The suns rays shone through the leaves of her tree home making little speckled patterns on her skin.
She slipped out of her bed to get ready for this new day ahead of her. After combing her hair and dressing into her Kokiri garb she stepped out of her house and climbed down the wooden ladder.
Saria and Isra, another Kokiri with long blond hair and cap like Link's, were there to greet her. She smiled at her two best friends and ran up to greet them.
"Hey guys!" She said.
"Hi Xin," Isra had replied.
"Hello Xinrie," Saria said only a moment after Isra. "I have great news the Great Deku Tree sent us to come and get you. He said it was urgent."
"Really what for?" asked the girl now known as Xinrie.
"Yea, he said that it's really important! For all I know he could tell you why you don't have a fairy like Link!" Isra announced in her cheerful, excited way.
Xinrie smiled a huge toothy smile. I might actually fit in for once after this. She thought "Then let's go!" She shouted while already twenty feet ahead of her.
"Woh… she runs pretty fast for such a little one." Isra said gaping in awe at the now tiny dot on the horizon.
Xinrie was running so fast that she didn't even notice Mido blocking her path.
"An' just where do ya think you're goin Pipsqueak?" He sneered at her.
"I'm goin' to see the Great Deku Tree! Now move you Ninny!"
"I don't think so, it's either you get a sword or you pay a hundred rupee fine. But, oops! Link took the last sword and oops! There isn't that much money in the forest. All well guess you won't be goin nowhere.
Xinrie looked at Mido her red eyes glaring at him. She then walked straight up to and said "Move It."
"No"
She looked at him smiled and then, quite cheerfully, decked him. This was not an uncommon occurrence between the two so she casually walked away, leaving an unconscious Mido lying flat on his back
Isra and Saria ran over Mido (despite Saria's protest that they should go back and help him.) leaving him with several boot marks on his green tunic. By the time Saria and Isra caught up with Xinrie she was already sitting cross legged before the Deku Tree.
"Did…..You….Kill….Mido?" Isra asked between gasping pants for air.
"No! I just decked him for the fifth time this year." She replied cheerfully.
"Oh…Darn"
At this all three of them broke out laughing waking the Great Deku Tree from his slumber.
"Oh dear me please forgive thou Xinrie for my sleeping. I was just so tired now down to business. First I'd like to thank thee Saria and Isra for getting her and since thee are best friends with her you may want to stay to hear what I have to say. Xinrie what I'm about to tell thee is very important. First you are not from this land, you're not a Kokiri….
Okay to be mean I'm going to leave you with a cliff hanger!
I also wanted to tell you the exact time this story takes place. It takes place after Ganon was defeated and after Link has gone to Termina and has found Navi again, He is currently thirteen. And Xinrie is five years younger than Link.
