This chapter might be kind of boring too, but Link is just starting out. So, please bear with. (:
Dawn struggled through the Knife Chamber's window. Link sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. This new adventure and another possibility of finding his friend excited him to the point where he almost left after the festival. Anju, kind and grateful for his help Kafai, was able to convince him to postpone leaving till tomorrow and offered him to a free stay in the Knife Chamber.Walking out the door, Link shuddered at the thought of the breakfast she will have waiting for him downstairs.
She means well I know, but, Nayru help me, her cooking is awful. That bottomless pit Bean Seller couldn't stomach this. He chuckled at the thought as he headed down the stairs. Actually, he would be the one person to ask Anju for seconds.
At the same time, Skull Kid had awakened in a familiar spot, cuddled with his fairy friends. He arose and scuttled out of the tunnel he used to shelter from the rain so long ago. The air was crisp and rather warm for spring. Tael zipped passed Tatl and started flying around Skull Kids head.
Tael began speaking fast, "Are you sure you'll be okay? We don't have to leave ya know. If you need us we'll be glad to stay," Tatl began turning pink and was on her way to red with agitation towards her brother. Lingering farther behind them, she tried to hold in her anger. She didn't want to hurt the Skull Kid's feelings but she wanted to go with Link so bad. Skull Kid chuckled at the fairy's agitation. He'd been around Tatl and Tael to long not to know when Tatl was about to smack her brother. He sharply and suddenly turned startling Tael in to the grass.
"Don't cha worry, Tatl. I'm happy you two are going. You guys will have fun." Tatl knew she was going to miss the Skull Kid. "Besides, "he tossed something high into the blue sky and caught it on the tip of his finger," my four friends gave me a flute to call them whenever I was lonely and no. You can't play with it Tael." Skull Kid shoved it back into his pocket before Tael could protest and dashed off to the lone tree stump. The fairies looked over his back with curiosity as he added a new to picture to the ancient stump.
Link thanked Anju for letting him stay. She gave him a melancholy grin as she bent down to give him an affectionate hug. "Thank you again for helping us. Come back again. Your stay will always be welcome and free." Link thanked her once more and stepped out into the crisp morning air. Clock town was bustling with energy now that the moon was no longer a threat. Even Mutoh was more cheerful. Link jogged towards the nearest gate, eager to set off. Outside the east gate he thought, "Finally, today my search continues". He pulled out his ocarina and studied it for a moment. What memories this small instrument held for him! He put it gently to his lips and Epona's Song rang out across Termina. Clop. Clop. Clop. Neigh. Link patted Epona then swung his leg around her. With a gentle nudge, Epona galloped off. They galloped past chuchus and the observatory, coming to a slow trot as they reached the tunnel.
Tael whispered urgently in Skull Kids ear, "He's here! Hurry and finish!" His hand became a blur as he added to the tree stump.
"Hah! Finished." Skull Kid triumphantly said to no one in particular; Tael sighed at how immature the pair was.
"Well," Link stated as he walked up," are you guys ready?" Skull Kid turned around with a broad grin on his face; he dashed forward. Inches away from Link's face he said, "Of course, but first I have some info for you aaaannnnddd something to show you. It shows are new friendship. He he." He leaped backwards onto the top of the stump and gave a rather dramatic bow. In the trunk was carved Link next to Skull Kid and the fairies.
Grinning Link said," Thanks. I'm glad I was added."
Skull Kid jumped down landing with a thud onto the grass. "Now for the info. My friends told me before they went back to their four corners that they've heard about your fairy. At least they think it's the same one. They here lots of tales and rumors from all over. They say a large owl told them about a land at sea that's different than Termina or your birthplace. They have no fairies, zoras, or gorons. They barely have any dekuscrubs." Link listened intently, trying to soak in all of what he told. "This land has strange people. Strange things. There have been whispers carried by the wind of a fairy showing up there struggling to survive against a land that is foreign."
Link began to panic. His fairy could be hurt out there in that land. "We should get going now then." Link began walking back to Epona with Skull Kid, Tatl, and Tael on his heels. He saddled on his horse and watched skull kid say goodbye. Tatl and Tael flew up to him excitedly and Link urged Epona into a steady trot.
"Make sure you come back!" Skull Kid called waving bye. Link turned to wave back.
"You bet I will!" With that Link rode off towards Great Bay
