Ok, I'm starting to respond to reviews. First one below:
Epona64: If people have no idea what happens in OoT, they shouldn't be reading this. I'll make up for some of the skipping and stuff with an epic final battle.
Storm, after running through the forest, met Mido who was standing by the entrance of the huge maze where the temple was.
"Who are you?" He asked suspiciously as Storm approached, "How'd you get in here? You are not dead! Yet only Kokiri can come in this wood."
"My name is Storm." Said Storm, he had not considered how Mido may have reacted when he said this at first, and then he felt he should have have said something else.
"Hmm...You sound like somebody I know. Why are you here?" Mido asked, he sounded a little more mature than the last time they had met.
"Oh hi Navi!" Said Mido's fairy, Mori suddenly, having just recognized her old friend.
"Hi!" replied Navi, "long time no see Mori."
"Navi?" Mido looked at his fairy. "How come you know the fairy?"
"It's Storm's fairy!"
"Storm!" Mido stared at Storm for a moment, a look of realization coming into his face. "Are your really Storm?"
"Yes." Storm replied a little nervous, was Mido going to have a fit at him again?
Quite unexpectedly, Mido sighed. "I am sorry for the way I treated you before Storm, all those years ago."
"That's okay." Storm said, he was extremely relieved that Mido was not going to have a go at him.
"I'm glad you accepted my apology. I guess your looking for Saria right?"
Storm nodded.
"I am." He said.
"I haven't seen her for a long time now, she went to the temple. I was going to go with her but she preferred to go alone. You may pass."
"Thank you." Said Storm, he passed and Mido smiled at him, something he had never done before.
"Good luck." He said. "You'll need it."
"I reckon I will. Bye."
Mido waved and Storm went off into the maze. He arrived in the entrance half expecting to be attacked by a wolfos or a Deku Scrub. As he walked into the maze there was a loud roar, Storm span around to see a relatively big monster with a pig like shape only mutated staring at him with its huge spear lowered towards him.
"LOOK OUT!" Navi cried, having noticed it seconds after Storm. "It's a Moblin."
Storm ducked between the Moblin's legs as it charged towards him in an attempt to skewer him with its huge spear. The Moblin stopped trying to work out where Storm had gone, before it had even turned around Storm threw his sword into its back. The moblin gave a loud cry and fell to the ground; Storm jumped on it and slashed its neck.
There was another loud roar coming from the other end of the narrow path, a moblin had heard the noise and come investigate only to find its companion lying dead with a strange looking Hylian standing a top it with his sword raised. The angry moblin charged at Storm with a loud battle cry. With surprising strength, Storm picked up the dead moblins spear and threw it into the one charging at him, the moblin was impaled. Another moblin appeared from behind and then another from the front and Storm realized he was in danger. As the two moblins charged at him Storm leapt for a tree to his right, grabbing one of the lower branches he climbed up it. The two moblins looked at each other for a moment unsure of where Storm had just gone. A bomb fell in front of them, they gazed at it and then at the tree before they looked back at the blue sphere.
Before they could register, what Storm had just dropped in front of them there was a loud bang as the bomb exploded killing them both.
"Gee their thick!" Storm said. "I can't believe I just pulled that off!"
"I can't believe it either," Navi replied.
Feeling he had dispatched any resistance, Storm walked through the maze to the narrow corridor leading to the meadow.
"CRIPES!" He exclaimed, he had not removed all the resistance after all, for directly in front of him was a huge overgrown moblin with a large mace.
"How to get passed without getting myself killed?" Storm asked Navi,
"Just be careful."
"I really wish I had some long ranged weapon on me."
Storm ran towards the moblin and it tried to strike him he rolled out of the way and it tried to strike him again, Storm rolled out of the way and smacked his head.
"Ouch."
"KEEP MOVING!" Navi yelled.
Storm jumped not a moment to soon as the mace came down where he had been standing a moment a go.
Storm rolled once more and crept between the beasts legs and stabbed it in the leg, it fell over and kept he hacking at it until it burst into flames. He went into the little Forest area he had met Saria playing her song; he went up to the stump where he and Saria had last met seven years ago.
"Time is cruel… yet no one can stop the flow of time, yet thee can altar it and change its path," Said a Familiar voice.
Storm spun around with his sword in hand, ready to attack the person behind him, only to realize it was Sheik even still he kept his sword drawn.
"Don't be afraid." Said Sheik eyeing the sword, "I am on your side."
"How did you do that?" Storm asked.
"Do what?" Sheik asked. "You seem suspicious, not that no one has that right these days.'
"You just appeared out of nowhere." Said Storm.
"I was following you. Well in a way that is." Said Sheik.
"Then you must have many magical powers."
"I do," replied Sheik. "Now to business, you have come to the forest temple seeking a friend?"
"Yes I have," Said Storm.
"I will teach you a song called Minuet of the Forest, you will be able to warp here at any time. Listen carefully and play it on your Ocarina."
Sheik played a tune on his harp and Storm repeated it, in a moment he had learnt the song.
"Very good," Said Sheik. "This temple will be the hardest challenge you have faced yet. Good luck."
With that, Sheik vanished from sight.
Storm gasped, he found Sheik very mysterious and there was something about him Storm did not like. Shaking his head, he looked at the branch by the temple archway.
He fired the hookshot and the first time he found it a very nasty experience, the minute the line hit the branch he found himself being yanked into the branch, he smashed and fell to the ground.
"Are you ok?" Navi asked.
"Never better," groaned Storm getting up, he'd landed on the ledge, he looked up at the ruins of the temples gatehouse, with a sigh he walked into the courtyard.
The yard was small yet even as he walked to the door and two wolfos ambushed him, jumping from a narrow ledge above him. The first one succeeded in knocking him over, Storm grabbed its leg and threw it off him breaking its leg in the process. The second wolfos jumped right towards Storm's chest earning a sword right through its chest. Putting the second one out of its misery Storm walked over to the entrance.
He could not help the feeling of dread he experienced as he entered the dark corridor that was the temples entrance. The temple itself was dark and eerie and it made the hairs on his neck prickle uncomfortably.
He walked through the hallway and found his way blocked by a skulltula, which he killed with ease, and then into what looked like the main room of the temple with a lift and four torches in the middle, .as he approached the lift four Poes appeared, they were hooded ghost figures, carrying lanterns. Storm jumped back as they extinguished the flame in the torches and vanished. The lift to the floor below vanished.
"Oh no!" Said Navi. "To light the torches we need to find and kill them. This is sure going to take a little while."
"Indeed." Said Storm. "I've only been here a few minutes and already I hate this place."
Storm went into the room straight ahead up the stairs where he met some other new enemies Navi described as Blue Bubble. In the next, he met some extremely large armed stalfos, which he found somewhat difficult. He collected some healing fairies to keep him from being killed and continued on.
He met many new monsters as well as a few old friends as he worked his way to the first Poe, after a somewhat difficult attempt to kill the Poe Storm killed it and returned to the lift room, he saw one of the torches had been lit.
"One down three more to go," Said Storm, he doubted very much they would all be as easy as the first one.
He continued on to find the next one; it was a bit more difficult to get to. Not mention confusing. Some of this part of the temple seemed to be twisted and out of phase making Storm disorientated and very dizzy. It was after one of these hallways he met an enemy he would always hate, the floor master. Storm's first encounter with this creature was disastrous; he appeared back at the beginning of the temple.
"Great." He groaned and worked his way back to where he was careful not to be caught by the floor master this time, bored by the experience Navi fell asleep.
A little while after he was passed the creepy hand creature, he came to some more Stalfos, after a difficult and somewhat confusing battle Storm defeated them and finally got something he really liked, the bow and arrow.
"Cool," Said Storm. "This will really help… It reminds me of my old hunting bow."
"It'll make those poes a bit easier," Said Navi. "Let's get the next one."
Storm continued and after a strange encounter with a Poe possessing a picture, he finally knew what to do and shot the pictures until the Poe was revealed and Storm managed to kill it, a bit easier than his last attempt to. This lit another torch in the main part of the temple.
"Two more." Said Navi.
"Just two." Thought Storm. "I really want to get out of here."
Storm went through the last part of the temple he hadn't been to, at first when he saw the Poe in the picture he thought it was going to be easy, he ended up only getting a key.
"Drats." He said irritably. "I hate this place.'
"So do I." Said Navi.
He pressed onwards, the temple began to become more difficult, the huge gardens lay desolate and devoid of any plant life, except for the deku babas. Storm had managed to find a secret passage upon draining the well, which led to an area he hadn't been to. Finally, Storm came to the part he was hoping was where the Poe was. Except this time it wasn't a simple matter of see it kill it. After an extremely difficult room where he nearly was flattened, he made it into a room with a picture of a Poe. He shot it and nothing happened.
"Odd." Said Storm.
"Look," Said Navi. "You need to arrange those blocks so they are exactly the same as the picture.
Not for the first and defiantly last time Storm groaned.
"Oh come on Storm, you have four more after this. This is probably easy compared to what's coming."
"Don't remind me," Said Storm irritably.
After arranging the puzzle, which took an agonizingly long time Storm, put the blocks together in the right way and the Poe appeared. Storm killed it but not without getting hurt, he was tired and wished he had bought some milk... he tried to move on... his entire body ached and he passed out.
"Storm! Get up you must keep moving," Said a voice. "Come on Storm, get up!"
Storm groaned and felt his strength beginning to come back to him.
"Wake up Storm." Storm heard Navi. "Come on."
Storm awoke and blushed. "Did I... fall asleep?"
"You fainted."
"Oh." Said Storm he felt somewhat ashamed of collapsing like that. "Sorry."
"That's okay. Let's keep moving."
Storm went back to the room with the torches. To his relief the final poe was there but it was the most difficult, the poe would make three images of itself and Storm was left to tell which one. Navi was very good at telling after a few second, which one was the right one, thanks to her remarkable picking Storm defeated the Poe easily.
"Thanks Navi," Said Storm. The lift rose and Storm got on, he was sure this would take him to the lair of the monster inhabiting the temple and to Saria. He was right; he walked through the narrow corridor over to a huge door. He made sure he had some fairies and walked through.
He opened the door walked up onto the stage and saw two paintings.
"Interesting, is this the room where the beast lies?" He said as he walked along into the centre of the arena.
"Yes it is, the picture," Said Navi.
Storm noticed something was moving in the picture. A horse with a rider. It was coming towards him. Storm pulled out his bow and got ready to shoot. Suddenly a horse with an evil looking rider dressed in armour and a headdress that looked like a skull, came out of the painting, not the one Storm was looking at but the one behind him.
"What the?" Storm shot it and it went back into the painting. It was as he saw the horse galloping off he realized something, three of the horses were on the right hand side of the horse however, one of them was on the left.
"Aha!" Said Storm.
"What?" Navi asked.
"Look, notice a difference in the paintings?" Storm asked her.
"Yes I do!" Said Navi suddenly, "The one to the left must be the real one! Aim and get ready to fire Storm!"
Storm did this and fired, he began to wonder as he shot it two more times, if this was all the boss did. Then after another shot the rider came off his horse and the horse disappeared.
At first Storm thought it was Ganonflame but it wasn't, he was very glad it wasn't
"Phantom Ganonflame,." Said Navi.
Suddenly Ganonflame fired a ball of lightning at Storm who dodged it.
"Bounce it back Storm," Said Navi.
Storm did this and stunned Ganonflame, it hurt him.
Phantom Ganonflame not being a real creature did not react in the way Gohma and King Dodongo did and were certainly not as life like except for the fact that Barinade and Phantom Ganonflame both tried to electrocute him.
After a somewhat easy battle, Storm killed Phantom Ganonflame as he did something strange happened. An odd vortex appeared and sucked Phantom Ganonflame into it. Storm grabbed onto the fence surrounding the area where he had been fighting to prevent himself being pulled in.
"Hehe." A voice cackled, Ganonflame. "Well done on killing my ghost self but let me warn you I am much stronger."
"I guessed." Said Storm behind gritted teeth, The vortex vanished and was replaced by a portal upon stepping into it Storm felt himself blacking out before waking back up to a bright light, he shielded his eyes against it.
As the light began to fade Storm found himself in the chamber of sages, standing by one of the medallion symbols was Saria.
"Saria, you're a sage?" Storm asked her.
Saria nodded. "I am, I wanted to become a sage so I could help you."
"Thank you." Said Storm, not sure what to say. It sure explained why Saria had acted so strange at the start of his quest.
"Thank you for freeing me from the forest temple Storm," Said Saria. "Here take this."
She gave Storm a Medallion, the forest one.
"My power has been added to yours." Said Saria. "Farewell for now Storm."
"Goodbye." Storm said.
"Aw! DO I have to stay here?" Saria's fairy asked. "This seems boring.'
"Come off it Fora." Said Saria.
Navi laughed. "I'm sure you'll get to find out about lots of things."
"Right." Said Fora.
"You better go.' Said Saria.
"Err... No offence but how? I'm just curious." Storm asked.
"Of course you would be a little confused, Said Saria. "Don't worry."
Suddenly a bright light blinded Storm and he began to have a strange tingling sensation, then blackness before he found himself right in front of the great Deku tree.
"How's that work?" Storm asked, he was looking at the great Deku tree's mouth. It was closed.
"I don't know. Maybe he was still alive when we left him, enough to close his mouth. Or perhaps the magic he possessed wore off, thus he became a normal tree despite being dead, not hollow which would explain that mystery," Said Navi, she looked in front of the Deku tree and noticed something.
"Look, it's a seedling." Said Navi, Storm walked over to the seedling. Just as he did, it shot up revealing a young tree and knocking Storm off his feet.
"Ouch." Storm muttered. "I never thought trees acted like that."
He noticed Navi was quite still and staring at the young tree, at a closer look Storm realized it looked almost like the great Deku tree.
"Hello!" It said.
"Ah... who are you?" Storm asked.
"I am the Great Deku tree sprout, you destroyed the curse on the forest allowing me to grow."
"Of course, the Deku tree did mention seeds at one stage." Navi said.
"I see," the young Deku tree said. "I believe your name is Storm?"
"Err... Yes it is." Said Storm, he really hated being known by almost everyone.
"You remember once the Deku tree said that there were things you could not be told until you were old enough."
Storm nodded.
"I am going to tell you, now that you are ready," Said the young Deku tree. "You may have been wondering this but you are not actually a Kokiri."
Storm stared in confusion at the young tree. "But if I'm not how come I can enter and leave this forest without dying?"
"A Kokiri cannot leave the forest without dying since the protective magic of the forest does not work outside its boundaries. A stranger who has not grown up in the forest from a very young age cannot enter it. You were brought here at a young age and the Great Deku tree protected you."
"I see." Said Storm, he was quite shocked and didn't know what to say, all his life he had thought he was a Kokiri and now he realized he wasn't, yet there was too much truth in what the young Great Deku Tree was saying to deny it and Storm himself had doubted being a Kokiri. "So... What am I?"
"A Hylian." Said the tree. "It's a long story. Some time ago, before the King of Hyrule unified this country, there was a fierce war in our world. One day a woman by the name of Lora had a vision that told her that her son was the chosen one, she came to this forest and instructed from the castle to protect the boy from the one who would destroy Hyrule. She was gravely injured in the process. After entrusting the boy to the Great Deku Tree, she died. She was a noble married to the knight known as Norsan, one of the king's greatest knights. He vanished along with an entire army in the Gerudo valley, his body recovered from the river some days later. You Storm are the boy in that tale; you have grown up not knowing where you are from. Not knowing you have a relation to the royal family, your mother was the queen's cousin… meaning you and Frost are distant cousins."
"I see." Said Storm slowly, he was slightly saddened and confused by the story not mention shocked... so he really did have an actual relation to princess Frost and probably would have grown up knowing her if he hadn't ended up in the forest but it was good that he had. Otherwise, Hyrule would be destroyed. He sat on the ground trying to take in the enormity of the Deku sprouts words, as he got up a wave of sadness hit him and his eyes burnt painfully. He let a tear fall to the ground and fell to his knees, the shock too great to bear, Storm did not know how long he sat there, Navi and the Deku sprout were silent, compassionately waiting while Storm recovered, until Navi could hold on no longer.
"You idiot," Navi whispered finally to the Deku sprout "You had to tell him that? What are you trying to do kill him?"
"Sorry I didn't think it'd be such a shock," The deku sprout said.
"YOU IDIOT! NOT A SHOCK!" Navi shouted as loud as she could. "Are you mad? You inconsiderate moron! He wasn't ready!"
"He should be."
"Oh shut up you selfish-" Navi stopped as she caught Storm's gaze, "Sorry."
"That's ok," Said Storm weakly, "Thank you Great Deku sprout. I better get going."
"You are welcome, feel free to visit me any time." Said the Great Deku sprout, "Oh and if you see Mido could you tell him to see me?"
"The heartless git!" Navi hissed as they walked off. "The Great Deku Tree would've never done that!"
"It's ok Navi," Said Storm, "Honestly."
They walked out of the forest in silence, Storm still pondering on what the Great Deku Tree's Sprout had said. As he came to the end of the maze he found Mido.
"Hello again Storm, what happened to you? No ones dead again are they?" He asked noticing how depressed Storm looked.
"No not at all," Said Storm, "The Great Deku Tree's sprout would like to see you when you can."
"I'll do that," Said Mido, "Thanks for the message."
"No problem," Storm said as Mido off, he looked over to Mido and called out, "Hey Mido!"
Mido looked back over at him.
"You were right about one thing," Storm said, "I'm not a Korikiri. Did you know that?"
Mido was silent for a minute before replying,
"To be honest to I didn't, I was only… well, I suppose you could say being myself. But as for that fact no I didn't know and now that I do doesn't mean I'm going to turn back on you like I used to." With that, Mido walked away, leaving Storm looking in the direction he had gone.
Author's notes: Read and review, if you flame, I laugh at your stupidity in thinking that flaming would actually have any effect on me, other than making me laugh at your stupidity. So go ahead, flame if you want. I need a good laugh. And by the way, I'm sorta going to change my writing style, thats why this was written a bit differently.
