With Rem following this bird's trail which is feathers that it dumbfully left behind. "It's begging for me to come and slice it up!" Rem thought. Rem arrives at a plains with nothing but a lone mountain. Rem looks around and notices some kind of platform but during these circumstances, it is unimportant. Rem takes a deep breath and takes a drink of the milk he had in his pockets. Ugh! It turned sour!
Rem pours it out and leaves the bottle in his pocket just in case. Rem climbs the mountain and it leaves a chore for him as he never had to do this in his world, ever! With just a sword to protect him, he continues to scale this singular mountain piece all the way up. The bird notices his brave, yet stupid actions and decides to swoop down and knock him off the mountain. Rem pulls out his sword and yells at the bird, "Give me back the Deku princess, fiend!" The bird knocks the sword away from his hand and grabs him in his talons and carries him to his death.
With the good enough altitude for death, the bird drops him and let the ground kill him. It flies away with Rem suspended in mid air. Rem knows that he isn't dead yet and decides to put on his Deku mask and transforms into the scrub yet again. Just as he does this, flower propellers come out of his hands and floats him to the bird's lair. The bird squawks in anger and flies towards Rem and tries to get him dead. Rem shoots deku nuts at the bird and hits it.
But what Rem hasn't realized is that the bird was above him and it falls on him and they crash to the ground. The rocky ground wasn't stable enough and they fall through a hole in a dark abyss. Rem luckily made it out alive but the bird is... well... not feeling so hot. Rock landed on its fragile skull and it suffers permanent brain damage. It's not coming back. Rem crawls out from under the bird's belly and looks around.
It seems to be an ancient cemetery, Rem travels in it to find a way out. As he goes deeper and deeper, it gets darker and darker. Rem notices a light source and follows it, he then discovers it is a ghost! Rem screams with his high pitched deku voice but the ghost replies in a similar voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm one of you... or used to." Rem notices that he looked a bit like him but more scrawny. "Deku butler's son?" The deku ghost nods, "Indeed I am. I can't believe I've turned my back for one moment and my body became a horrifying tree. My spirit couldn't be sustained in it and has fled to this dark cemetery to be limbering for all eternity."
Rem nods, "OK. Well... I must save the deku princess, see ya." The ghost's eyes widens, "The deku princess? Take me to her!" Rem looks around and back at the deku ghost, "Ok..." The ghost sighs, "Alas... I cannot come as I am. I need to be placed into a container for me to traverse the landscape." Rem realizes something extremely convenient, "My bottle!" He pulls it out and scoops the deku ghost in a hurry and holds it out, "Is this ok, ghosty?" The deku ghost replies, "It smells like rancid milk but it'll do." Rem puts the bottle containing the deku butler's son's ghost away.
Rem searches for a way out but can't find a sort of exit. He decides to make one with deku nuts. He shoots them everywhere and rocks fall towards Rem and with his deku speed, he runs away from it. The rocks make a stairway for him to escape. Rem climbs the rocks and head out to the surface. Rem then goes towards the mountain and returns to Hylian, grabs his fallen sword and gives it another go. This time, without an annoying bird to bother him, he makes it to the top.
He enters the dungeon and as he expected, it is very hot inside. As Rem goes through the dungeon, he ponders something, that bird was way too easy to destroy so it must be a guard of some sort, the real bird is still at the top waiting for him. This dungeon is pretty much straightforward with simple block puzzles and flaming webs with sticks. After this pretty short and simple dungeon, he arrives at the top of the mountain and sees a nest with the deku princess and the bird.
The deku princess shouts, "Rem! Be careful! This bird is tough!" The bird begins to spin around and then strikes Rem, he quickly dodges the attack and attacks the bird with a sword stab. It doesn't work as the bird has armor on. Rem notices a lone deku flower in the center and puts his mask back on, transforms back into deku form and burrows in it. The bird dumbly stikes Rem with the same attack and Rem busts out at the right time when it is underneath him.
The bird falls on his back and Rem takes the mask off and as swifly as possible, he jumps as high as he can and does a downward strike with his sword on the bird's belly and it suffer severe damage. It bleeds to death and dies, the deku princess is impressed by this... only a being like Rem would find this easy except the hero of time... if he still has his mask. Rem runs towards the deku princess and presents her with the deku butler's son in the bottle, even though he fears that she would fall for him again.
She squeals in excitement, "I cannot believe this! You're back! Rem! Do you know how to revive him?" Rem replies calmly as possible, "Just take me to where his body is and I'll take it from there." The deku princess gets her flower propeller and flies to Clock town while saying, "Meet me where you came from." Rem nods, "I will!" Rem runs all the way back to Clock town and heads in the tower and goes through that door that lead him in Termina and goes towards the deku tree. He meets up with the princess in his deku form and she says, "Dump him out!"
Rem nods and opens his bottle and dumps out the deku ghost and the ghost becomes a green light and flies towards the tree and he calls out, "I need my body to be awoken!" Rem replies, "What do I do?" The princess says, "The pipes, Rem! Use them!" Rem pulls out the deku pipes and plays the sonata of awakening. The tree glows green and it starts to turn into the shape of a deku once again. Deku butler's son is thrilled! "I'm alive again! Thank you!" Rem nods, "You're welcome!"
The princess hugs the revived deku and says, "We can now have our wedding and I can rule the palace like I wanted. My dad is too incompetent. Rem... you'll come, right?" Rem replies, "The wedding? Sure." Deku princess replies, "Alright, so you don't have to spend time with me anymore and can go on your own now, send me letters on your journey." Rem nods, "OK. What about your pipes?" The princess nods, "Give me them! I'll give you a set of royal deku pipes of your very own, these have sentimental value to me." Rem nods and gives them to her."
The two set off as the princess says, "Be sure to visit and the pipes will be mailed to you, wait in Clock town. Bye!" The two fly back to the palace as Rem returns to the main town and sits on the benches and wait for the pipes. After a few hours, the postman comes to Rem and says, "You are Rem, correct?" Rem nods and the postman gives him a new set of deku pipes which Rem happily accepts. The postman salutes and runs off.
Rem notices something inscribed on them, "You will always be my hero - Flora" This must be her name! Rem sheds a single tear and gets a determined face, I'll go out on that adventure and perhaps find my own destiny!" Rem runs back out but the guards stop him again because of his Deku form and when Rem was about to yell at them they said, "We saw what you did on that mountain, that took guts. We will never question you ever again." He moves out of the way and Rem nods, "Thanks."
Rem decides to return to that platform in the mountains because it looked very important. It wasn't at the time but now... Rem can spend some time looking at it. There's something inscribed on it and it looks like musical notes. Rem pulls out the deku pipes and plays the song, it's actually the song of time! The platform glows blue and Rem decides to step on it and he gets transported through time.
Where will he go? Find out next time!
