Chapter 5

Zelda's Quest

Hyrule

December 5, 1255

Early Morning

In the far away kingdom of Hyrule, Princess Zelda was getting ready for her quest to find the lost seven sages. She quickly donned her 'Sheik' disguise and gathered her many supplies and weapons. Her first destination was the Kokiri Forest to find Saria. She mounted her horse, Swiftfoot, and began her quest. She made it to Kokiri Forest the next morning after an uneventful ride. She got off her horse and tied him to a nearby tree. She began her walk to the Great Deku Tree. When she got there she kneeled on one knee.

"Oh Great Deku Tree, I come here to beg for help." She began.

The Deku Tree raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed? What might be the problem Sheik?" he answered in a low tree like voice.

"I seek Saria. I am on a mission to find the rest of the sages. Link desperately needs our help. He is in Coruscant now in Jedi Training. Yet, I believe he needs all the help we can afford to give him. So, will you point me in the right direction Great Deku Tree?" Zelda replied desperately.

The Great Deku Tree thought for a moment.

"Indeed I will. Saria has traveled to the outer regions of Hyrule seeking out Link's father. There has been news of him being seen there. When you find them both come back and I will inform you of the location of the other sages." He explained.

Zelda nodded. She got up and walked briskly back to Swiftfoot. She quickly untied him.

"With haste Swiftfoot, we have a mission to accomplish!" she said as she climbed on to him.

With the speed of Shadowfax off they went into the early morning mist.
