Subchapter 5

Deep in the Lost Woods Thian tightened his right fist, he had spent the entire day gaining more and more control over his new found ability. He was resistant to harm, far stronger than he had believed mortally possible, and to his astonishment able to survive terminal injuries. For in his experiments he had fallen from a tree and split his skull on a rock. Though doused in blood he rose as if he had only received a mild bump. "What is this power" he asked out loud answered by silence. He inspected the linen blanket he had been found in. The glowing triangle resembled the three golden triangles in the mark of the gods. "Is it only coincidental that I am of a people that are chosen by the goddesses that I was found in a blanket with the mark of the goddesses?" The glowing triangle appeared on his had and he observed it closely "I'd be a fool to dismiss this as a birthmark." All at once Thian realized it had grown late, and that after all that had transpired at dawn and there after, a search party would surely be formed and plunge into the Lost Woods in hopes of finding him. He dusted himself off sighed, the blood would surely make matters worse but there was no helping it.

Not looking forward to the interrogation looming over his head and the resulting beefed up watches of the entrance, Thian started back towards the village. After a while Thian began recognizing faint noises in the distance as voices of the Kokiri in the search party. The light from their torches grew brighter as they drew closer. Thian sighed he knew they would carry on about how worried they were, and how since the attack entrance to the Lost Woods was forbidden. They seemed to be resting in a clearing when he drew close it sounded like a heated argument. Thian peered around a tree and saw Mido and a Kokiri that Thian had seen in passing but did not know. "This is Madness" the Kokiri proclaimed "We know very well that the monsters are only after Link and Thian if a Kokiri happens to be around they wouldn't mind making the poor soul an appetizer before the main course" several Kokiri nodded in agreement and Mido looked like he might just throttle him but instead he only spoke savagely "I cannot believe that you would really leave Thian and Link in danger just to save your own sorry hide." The Kokiri looked taken aback as Mido continued "You were there yourself the night of the storm. You know as well as I do that we have to try to prevent what the Deku foretold."

Saria was silent but nodded and others did as well. The Kokiri shook his head "We cannot the boy has already made an attempt to leave the forest and in the same day he disobeys you Saria and even Fado. In full knowledge that he was forbidden to enter the Lost Woods he did anyway." Fado was in tears and looked like she might say something but Saria was faster "We can see the hopelessness of the situation far better than you can Rido." She paused to brush away a tear and Mido continued for her "Rido your worries for the safety of yourself and the village are noted. Considering the situation and you worries I find that we continue on until we find Thian and Link" Thian pulled back behind the tree Link was missing to? Thian was sure that Link had probably entered the forest before the search party in hopes of finding Thian first. Link was never one to just lie down and take a beating. Thian shook his head seeing all he trouble he was causing. Thian sighed he had to find Link and settle things, for their friendship would never recover until it was settled.
