The rhythmic power of the earth's energy, feeling the power in the deepest roots, the highest branch, in the smallest leaf, this is the way of the deku tree. The demand for the protection of the forest made the deku scrub grow at an immensely faster rate than the past ancestors, already overgrowing the hull of his father, taking his place as the great deku tree. He could feel the energy shift, the fate about to change again…the legend is to be reborn.

Huffing and puffing, Navi chases after her daughter. The little fairy, only four fairy years old (four days In human years) was on her way to be named by the Great Deku Tree.
"slow down child, the great deku tree won't go anywhere!" Navi shouted, breathless from chasing her daughter.
"I know where he is mamma, I can fly ahead."
"no you don't know where he is, the deku tree is the other way."
The little fairy stopped and turned around
"umm…I knew that, just testing you mamma"
Navi rolled her eyes and floated over to her daughter. The small fairy was a mix of blue and white, strange patterns covering her body from where the essence of her father mixed with Navi's. the two were from different worlds, and different strands of fairy, so their dna didn't quite match up to make one, more like a jigsaw. Navi smiled at the little fairy, placing her hands on the glowing skin of her daughters face and looking seriously into her eyes.
"this is the great deku tree we're talking about, he may be young, heck, he could be younger than you, I never really figured out the tree to fairy year conversion, but you must be respectful…this is the day you get your name, so trust me in the fact that you do not want the great deku tree to be in a bad mood when you receive it…that little mido boy was given a color changing fairy, or in other words, a fairy that looked like a rainbow…named phag."
The little fairy didn't know what a bundle of sticks had to do with rainbows, but she didn't want to be named something stupid. She gave a little nod and took her mother's hand, following her along the path to the great deku tree.

It had been a few hours before tattl chimed a bit to catch the attention of link and malon. His glow was a shade of baby blue, showing his worry for his lover and his daughter. Needing no words, link nodded, standing to see the great deku tree, hoping to find the mother and child at his clearing. Malon reached up and squeezed the hero's arm, a small pout on her lips.
"this is supposed to be our honeymoon…I don't want you fighting on it…"
Malon trailed off and looked to the side. Link leaned down and got onto his knee, the height difference of sitting to standing now equaled. The hero gently places his hand on the farm girl's cheek, running his thumb over her perfect lips.
"will it make you happy if I left my sword and shield here?" link asked, undoing the straps and placing the gear on the bed. Malon smiled at this and nodded, leaning her head into link's hand and closing her eyes. The peace of the moment made link smile, leaning in and giving his wife a tender kiss before leaving.
"now, I will refrain from fighting, but I must at least take my childhood sword. There are still a few monsters here and there, and if I have to, I will fight, but if avoidance is an option, I will take that first, for you."
And with that, link promptly jumped over the balcony of his tree house and landed on the ground with a hollow thud. Moving a rock from the opening to his secret chest, link retrieves the kokiri sword, sheathing it on his back like impa did with her knife. The journey wasn't at all long, so link was worried that the duo might be in trouble.

The young fairy floated around, looking for an exit to the small prison, finding none in the walls of the sap bubble. Her mother had been trapped as well, taken to a separate area. The only thing she could do was walk around like a hamster in a ball, but the enclosure she was in would not let her out. Every once in a while a deku scrub would switch the bubbles she was in, the sap only strong when it was fresh. Her only chance of escape was to get this bubble to dry faster than the scrubs expected. Her wings were no use, the bubble was too small. Her breath made the bubble shrink and grow, but never burst. At a moment of desperation, the little fairy ran full speed, the bubble skidding like a tire before flying off and into the barrier that enclosed her. The bubble didn't burst, but the little one had been given a miracle. The part that had skidded was now a slightly duller gold than the rest, beginning to look dryer. She continued to run back and forth, back and forth, until the barrier finally shattered the bubble on impact. Pumping her little fists into the air, the fairy cheered, quickly zipping off to the area where her mother was taken.

Navi sat in the corner of her cage and rubbed her temples. How could she be so naïve, letting her daughter wander like she had just done. Because of navi, the two were separated, herself hanging from a cord attached to the central spire of the forest temple, her cage nothing more than an empty poe lantern. From a distance, navi heard a buzz, then a faint light appeared. Her daughter came flying at the cage, taking the impact with her body and causing it to swing.
"hi mama!" the fairy chimed, her little fingers easily opening the latch on the lantern. Navi flew out and hugged her daughter close, sighing.
"that was an experience I never wanted you to have, especially so early in your life. We need to get out of here, let's use the warp point."
The two make their way through the labyrinth of doors and into the chamber where phantom gannon used to reside. They stepped into the glowing light and were whisked away to the foot of the deku tree.

Link ran in and immediately saw the two fairies. He gave a sigh of relief before that relief was changed to solemn sadness. The great deku tree, no mere sprout any more, was just like himself, but the overgrowing of the father tree made his bark a splotchy brown, instead of the green of fresh wood, due to the curse that his ancestor perished from. The two fairies had been in the clearing for a mere ten seconds before the deku tree awoke. His eyes looked to the little fairy and his branches shook to indicate a greeting. The little fairy bowed and navi did so as well, leaving to question the name of her daughter. The great deku tree sighed and looked at the young fairy.
"this is a peculiar instance we are in navi, your daughter is a two part, a mixed blood. Due to this I cannot tell her purpose, thus my name for her would be useless. For now, she shall be named Nadia, but once she is a bit older, maybe a few hundred fairy years, I will be able to find a name to suit her life's destiny."
Navi bowed again and nadia bounced up and down in glee
"yaaay, now im nadia" she says, doing a little dance in the air. This made link smile at the scene
"hey you two, your lover and your father is worried about you. Why don't you go tell him your new name, he'll love it." Link said, bowing to the great deku tree, in turn, the deku tree shook some great fruits down for link.
"those should help the nausea from malon…I sense it will be a girl" the great deku tree says, a smile on his bark. With this link smiled and left, taking the fruits and fairies with him.
From the sky, farore drifts down to the great deku tree.
"you sense that it will be a girl?" she asks, having been sure that the next hero would be born instead. The great deku tree shakes in a nod
"she is of high importance to the fate of hyrule…she, I can sense, will be part of the three…although I don't know which one. The hero is always courage, but lately, the wisdom has been torn between the royal family and the farm girl, as with the power, the same thing, undecided between gannondorf and the farm girl."
farore sighs. How was she going to tell her sisters that the goddesses themselves, got the gender of an unborn child wrong…they were the ones that decided the gender.
"well, at least I was able to imbue link with a little gift earlier on…I know he is married and all, but dream sex isn't adultery. He awoke very pleased and a great amount larger in his staff…a great amount. So there will be no trouble with the birth of the hero, it will just take time."
The great deku tree chuckled
"only din surpasses you in deviousness, but you are the goddess of fertility as well, am I not mistaken?"
Farore blushes.
"havnt heard that name since highschool…what was it, class of 1001, I think I had some of your sap back then…you may have been a deku scrub in those days, but your deku stick could make one thing you were a great tree already."
As the day passed on, the two reminissed about younger days, the family of the hero as well, in there own, remembering all that had been good.
