Into The Lost Woods
"Alright listen up everyone; I want you all to leave the Kokiri forest!" Link said to group before him. This resulted in all the Kokiri giving Link a questioning look, but they trusted him. Immediately they began to pack up their belongings and head towards the entrance to the Kokiri Forest. Link, at the back of the group with Fado planned on grabbing all his gear from his house before he departed for the lost woods.
"Why do you think we should leave the forest?" Fado looked puzzled, trying to understand this solution to their problem.
"It's simple really. Saria and Mido are unaffected by this curse of sorts and they are not in the Forest. Also since I came in I have not been affected by any of the symptoms you described earlier. So I believe that whoever put this curse only put it to affect the Kokiri whenever they are in the forest. Also that it is strongest in the lost woods, so I believe that the source of the problem lies there."
Faro stopped walking, considered what Link had said, then looked at Link frightened.
"Don't tell me you plan on going in there?" she said obviously showing concern for her friend. "Its way too dangerous and you are needed elsewhere anyway."
Link sighed having made his decision.
"Look, I need you to lead the Kokiri to Lon Lon Ranch. You are the most experienced person in the outside world and you need to get their fast. You remember Malon right? Give her this note and she'll let you stay until the forest is safe to live in again."
Fado nodded, knowing there was nothing she could do to change Link's mind. She then took the note and ran off to join the other Kokiri, leaving Link by his house.
Link decided not to waste any time and head towards the forest temple. He was sure that whatever curse that had been set upon the forest was residing there. Link decided it would be faster to run through the lost woods rather than warp.
Upon entering the Lost Woods, Link noticed a rather dark atmosphere about the place in contrast to the childlike impression that the Lost Woods normally gave out. Before even leaving the first area, Link found himself surrounded by 8 Gerudo, but instead of the normal red colours they would normally wear. They were instead fully clothed in black sporting 3 variations of green stripes, clearly used to blend into the background of the Lost Woods.
"I've never seen this sort of tactic used before." Link noted. He also noticed that instead of the large dual scimitars that the Gerudo would usually have, they now sported shorter, more dagger like versions of their usual weapons. Not to be underestimated as the daggers were jagged and looked extremely sharp.
One of the Gerudo, wearing a gold band, stepped forward, a black gleam in her eyes. She radiated a strange confidence that he had seen only one, in Ganondorf.
"You are a fool to think you can defeat us, Koume and Kotake have made us into fantastic warriors. Once we revive the great lord, we shall be his most loyal servants." The leader gripped her weapons tighter. "You shall be defeated today by the Gerudo Gangsters" With that note, they attacked.
