Hi again! I got some pretty good reviews this time. Only three though.

Greki: Thanks! Also it's like I said. Those chapters were short because I was trying to get to this one. (Which should be pretty long)

Dez384: As to why Link never beat up Mido I have no idea. But, in my opinion I think he should have in the game!

And to AncientDirgeDragon and blondie91 Thank you for the great reviews. -

This Chapter should be a good one if I work on it hard enough. Sorry it's been Taking me so long to update but I'm afraid this next Chapter will take me to update though because I got alota things to do for the next four days. So please excuse the absence of updates.

As A Final note I would Like to thank my sister Jaderill for helping me sooo much with this chapter. (Read her stories too! There great!)

…Departure…

Xinrie lifted the cloth made door up and entered her house. It was a small house with a bed in the corner and a table in the center of the room. Off to the right was a dresser made of redwood and to the left was a storage area for food. Next to that was a trunk, a mirror and water bowl.

She looked about the place for what the Deku tree had supposedly left. She walked in further and saw it. On the table was a wooden box with beautiful gold trim and etched on the top was "To Xinrie. Please use this only in emergencies and wear it at all times! May the forest spirits be with you!" She picked up the box and opened inside was a pendant that looked exactly like a leaf. It shone brightly and its pure jade surface reflected her crimson eyes, showing the tears that were welling inside them, but she pushed them back, no one had ever given her anything so beautiful before. She strung it around her neck then picked up the box and brought it over to the trunk in the corner of her room.

Xinrie emptied out its contents. A doll, some bowls, dishes, a backpack, and a couple of rags fell out. She picked back up the doll and the backpack and carried them over to her dresser. Isra and Saria came forward to help her. She took out all her green tunics and shorts, placing them neatly on in the trunk. Isra had run off to go get food for her from the Kokiri store. Saria was busying herself with collecting dishes and any useable items she could find. Within an hour everything Xinrie would need for her journey was packed.

Xinrie stood at the edge of the bridge leading out into Hyrule. She bit her lip looking down at her feet. "Well guys. I guess this is it." She said with a bit of an awkward smile.

At this Isra broke out into a sobbing cry and flung her arms around Xinrie. Saria just stood alone watching as Xinrie tried to comfort her.

"IAFERMEK GODIERNTHG TOF MIHSHH WOOOO!" (AN: translated I'm going to miss you) Isra sobbed. Then she took her hat off and shoved it onto Xinrie's head.

"Do you want me to keep this?" Xinrie asked with a funny smile.

"MFMMFM YEHHEHSSH!" (AN; Yes) Isra cried nodding her head slightly.

After another ten minutes of this she finally pulled away and Saria stepped forward.

"This was supposed to be for your birthday. But, seeing as your not going to be here….." She alleged handing her a wrapped box.

Xinrie took the box and unwrapped its plain, brown packaging. Beneath the simple covering was something that took her breath away. A wooden box with some of the most beautiful designs she had ever seen was carved into it. A lid was held together with silver lock that shone against its dark wooden surface. Xinrie stared at it, her fingers tracing the curves of the symbols. Slowly her hand reached for the lid of the box to lift it open. Her eyes widened in slight surprise.

"It's locked…"

Saria smiled slightly. "Remember that book that you tried to read? The one over at my house with the green binding?"

Xinrie thought back to the time that she had picked up the book. It had turned out to be fake. Inside of it was actually a small assortment of necklaces and keepsakes that Saria had decided to hide. She felt along the bottom of the box until she found a small slit in the wood. Turning it upside-down she found a piece of wood she could slide. Moving it aside, she discovered a tiny silver skeleton key. Xinrie removed it and turned the box the right way. She then inserted the key and turned it.

With a pop the lid opened and revealed a small, mechanical dark fairy kneeling inside. Its wings looked like cobwebs, clinging to the black and sticklike bones. Raven black hair reached down her back and scrapped along the wooden floor. Her dress was torn along the bottom and rose up from her ankles to just below her upper thigh in jagged strips. Her long sleeves mimicked her web like wings and went over her hands, hooking around her middle finger on each one. Her small bare feet were tucked delicately beneath her thin structure with a small black anklet with blood red jewels inserted into knots tied just above her left foot.

The fairy opened her eyes, revealing dark crimson orbs beneath the pale eyelids. Her hands began to move upward as music drifted from the dark box. It reached her ears and a steady wind began to blow about her. Xinrie stared, transfixed at the fairy as it danced about the box until she heard Isra stop her sniffling and let out a gasp. The small girl looked up to see the leaves picked off the branches of the tree and encircle her. When the music died away, the leaves slowly drifted to the forest ground and the fairy lowered to the floor of the box, her eyes closing once more.

Saria looked hopefully at Xinrie. Her brown haired friend looked up at her with tears brimming around the edges of her eyes, threatening to be released. "I hope you like it." Saria said, "It took a long time to find something like this and I-"

She was cut off by Xinrie's joy filled voice. "I love it!"

Saria sighed in relief, "That's good. I could only find one. It originally had blue eyes but I painted them red, just for you."

Xinrie's face reflected emotions that she had been hiding since the Deku Tree had told her of her true past. Sadness, pain, fear, hope; these were all things she had felt and been too stubborn to reveal to her two best friends until now. She placed the box in her bag and reached out to Saria and Isra, embracing them both in a long hug. She didn't want to let them go but knew in her heart that for her sake as well as theirs she would have to.
