Chapter 8: Forest Bead, History and Death Mountain.
Arriving at the entrance of the forest, Kaian and Link dismounted their horses. " So are we going in there?" Kaian asked, tilting her head.
" Yes." Link replied walking in.
Kaian followed eyeing her surroundings. " There aren't any spiders are there?"
" Well, yes but not around these parts." Link stopped and looked at Kaian. " Are you afraid of spiders Kai?"
" What? Hell no. I'm not afraid of anything!"
" Alright." They walked across the bridge and entered the tiny village. As they walked into the village they earned stares from Kokiri.
" Link, why are all these kids staring at us?"
" Well they're not used to seeing adults around. And trust me, must of them are not children." Link stated as they climbed a vine, covered wall.
" Alright then. I won't even ask. So where we going oh great Hero of Time?"
" To the Sacred Meadow, I've got a feeling the forest bead will be there."
" Ok, cool. Let's find the bead thingy."
The two walked for hours. Making wrong turns left and right. Of course this was because of Kaian's stubbornness. They entered yet another chamber. Inside there were trees and tall grass. Deciding that she needed a break, Kaian sat down. But to her unfortunate luck she sat right into a hole. Link didn't notice since he was looking around.
Kaian landed hard on the ground. She slowly got up, rubbing her sore butt. " Where am I?" Suddenly three small bushes popped up in front of her. Kaian raises an eyebrow, then giggled. " Aw, you guys are so cute!"
The middle bush answered. " Thank you very much tall one. We are baby Deku Scrub. Play us a song."
" Play you a song? But I don't have an instrument. How the heck do you expect me to play you a song?"
The left scrub now spoke. " Take this. A magical flute past down through the forest. If you make us happy, you may keep it and a special prize. But if you don't make us happy, you will be hurt. Because happy is nice and sad is bad, bad, bad."
Kaian hesitantly took the flute. It was beautiful. It was pure silver, and had vines wrapped around it. She turned it around in her fingers. It also had specks of gold and bits of diamonds. She then noticed a name. It read ' Kali E. Andrews.' Kaian's eyes widen in surprise. That was her mothers name Kali Electra Andrews. She looked at the flute some more. Suddenly a wave of memories hit her. She remembered was she was one or two, her mother use to put her to sleep sometimes with this flute.
Flashback
Kaian lay in bed with a high fever. She restlessly moved around and fell to the floor. She cried out in pain. Her mother ran into the room. Her long dark, strawberry blonde hair trailing behind her. She picked up her two-year old and looked at her with her concerned pearl grey eyes. Kaian's own bright grey eyes looked up at her mothers. ' Oh, honey do we need daddy to take you to the hospital? You're burning up. Kaian didn't respond, her mother laughed a little. ' I'll take that as a yes then?' Finally realising what her mother was talking about, She shook her head no. Laughing again Kali laid her daughter back down and tucked her under the blanket. She then went and grabbed a drink and herself a flute. She sat on a chair beside her daughter's bed. She played soft rich notes into her unique looking flute. It gently soothed Kaian to sleep.'
End Flashback
Kaian looked at the flute then back at the scrubs. " Where did you get this?" The bushes shrugged. Sighing, Kaian brought the flute to her mouth. She had played the flute back in Public school. She recalled playing a song called Minuet. Since it was the only song she could remember, she played it. The rich notes filled the air, just like her mother's playing did. The baby Deku Scrubs swayed as she played. When the song ended, the babies jumped up and down happily.
" Yay! Good song! Song Good!" The middle one laughed.
" Yes great playing." The left one added.
" You may keep the flute and our special prize!" The one on the right handed her an emerald bead.
Kaian gasped. " Wh-where'd you get this?"
The small scrubs looked at each other and shrugged. " The Sacred Meadow. But that's a secret, don't tell our parents."
Kaian smiled. " Alright I won't tell. See you guys later ok?" She said as she slipped the flute in a pocket in the sheath that happened to appear. She stepped on the rainbow platform and was transported to the top. She walked over to Link, who was talking an adult Deku Scrub.
" I'll sell you ten Deku seeds for forty rupees." The scrub bargained.
Kaian snorted, even she knew that deal was stupid. She grabbed Link but the arm and pulled him away. The Deku Scrub ducked back underground.
" What is it Kai?" Link asked slightly annoyed.
" Look!" She held out her hand. The bead sparkled in the sunshine.
Link smiled and looked up at her. " Well, put it on!"
Nodding, Kaian slipped on the bead on the chain. A dark green light surrounded her. She screamed in pain as a dark forest green tattoo spiralled up her arm in a snake like fashion. The light dimmed as she fell forward landing in Link's awaiting arms. He laid her down and patiently waited for her to awake.
3 Hours Later.
Kaian sat up holding her head. She looked around and spotted Link by the entrance. He smiled walking over to her. " You ready to leave?" He asked extending his hand.
She smiled " Yeah, so we going to find the. . . Fire bead?"
He shook his head. " No we have to go see the Deku Sprout."
So the two walked in silence back to Kokiri Village. They were about to enter were the Deku Sprout stood, but were stopped by a male Kokiri. " You are not Kokiri, therefore you cannot past."
Link groaned. " Mido, let us past the Deku Sprout knows us."
" No, I refuse!"
They argued and argued for at least 2 hours. Finally Kaian had had enough. She grabbed Mido by the collar of his shirt and dropped he into the water. " You stay there and chill out, we'll be right back. No harm will come to the Deku Sprout." With that she and Link walked in to she the Deku Sprout. As the approached to sprout, Link walked slower behind Kaian. He knew it was Kaian the Deku Sprout wanted to talk to.
" Hello Chosen, please sit down." Kaian did as she was told. " You are probably wondering why exactly you were chosen to be the hold of the Balance tri-piece." Kaian nodded. " Your mother Kali was in fact a Hylian. She was the original keeper of the Triforce piece. But at the hands of evil magic, she was transported to the place you are from, Earth. There, Kali fell in love with a human and had you. She knew her life would be shorten so she gave you her piece of the Triforce."
" But how did she get it? And why did she have to die?"
" Yes, it was and still a mystery why she had it. To our knowledge you can only obtain a piece when an unbalance heart grabs hold of the Triforce, and the Triforce splits. But your mother had the piece before Ganondorf had anything to do with it. It's a great mystery to Hylian history. As for Kali dieing at such a young age, as I mention before dark magic had transported her. She was too weak and pure and her body couldn't handle it. Ironically enough her name means 'Dark one.' But yes that is how it happened. Her body just overloaded I suppose."
Kaian however wasn't crying. She was smiling. Her mother had been Hylian. No wonder she was skilled in archery and swordplay. Well sort of. " Thank you so much for telling me this Deku Sprout."
" It's not a problem Kaian. You have Kali fighting spirit. Good luck in your journey." As Kaian turned to leave the Deku Sprout said. " Oh yeah think fast."
Three bats came flying at the. Again her body was taken over by a strange urge. The spiral tattoo glowed a haunting green as a word escaped from her mouth. " Shield!" A wall of vines sprout out of nowhere, constructing a wall in front of Kaian. The bats were knocked to the ground. Their wings twitched with pain. The glow dimmed and Kaian came back to reality. " What were those?"
" Keese. Very good Kaian you seem to be catching on to your powers." The Deku Tree said with joy.
Kaian coughed. " Ya, when I'm in an inch of my life being extremely shortened." Link laughed. " Shut up Link! It's not funny!"
Getting his laughter under control he said. " We should probably get going. Death Mountain should be a good place to start. That were the fire temple is. Oh, I forgot to ask how did you get the forest bead?"
" Music contest." Kaian smiled. " Good-bye Deku Sprout!"
" Good-bye and be careful!"
" What music contest?" Link asked even more confused.
The two left heading for Death Mountain. Leaving the forest with new knowledge and power, and a very wet Mido.
