The Legend of Link and Maiko
Ch.1 Danger in the forest!
Link looked around. All the village children had dispersed by now; it was nearly dark. The village elder had gone back to his house after telling his tail of the past. The village elder, Mr. Harper, was bickering to his wife. Link didn't know why old people bickered all the time.
Link was a blond haired, blue eyed, young Hylian boy. He wore a green tunic, a brown belt, brown shoes, and a green hat. Link never really carried to live in Kakoriko; the village he was in right now. Link yearned for adventure, for excitement.
"Link!" shouted young Petra. Link jumped. He had been daydreaming again. "Yes, Petra," said Link. He looked over at her. She wore a red scarf, and a light blue dress.
"Would you like to come to my house to each dinner?" she asked.
"No, thanks," said Link, "I thought I would go to my house." Link was ten years old. He didn't really care all that much about girls, especially Petra, who was like a sister to him.
"Oh," Petra sighed, "well would you mind if I walked with you? I hate being in the village. The forest is much nicer"
"Alright," Link agreed. They both walked back to Link's house, which was just outside Kakariko. On the way they talked about how creepy the forest seemed at night. How ghosts and Kokiri would eat little kids if the wondered around too much.
When Link and Petra finally got to Link's humble tree shack Petra said good night to Link and raced off home, before sundown. Link climbed up the ladder to his tree house and went threw the front door. Before sleep, link had a piece of bread, and some milk. Link hoped one day a little excitement would come his way.
"Link, Link!" a shout from outside his house rang out.
Link jolted awake, and ran out his front door. He jumped off the tree; he didn't have time for a ladder. When he reached the bottom he saw a disheveled middle aged lady. She had to be at least in her twenties. It was Petra's mom. "What was Petra's mom doing here?" Link thought.
"What is the matter Miss Rue?" Link asked.
"Is Petra here?" she asked while biting her finger nails. She seemed very worried.
"No," Link replied, "she went home last night."
"No, she didn't!" exclaimed the old lady. She fell down into tears. Link couldn't stand to see an old lady cry. "There, there," link comforted, "She must be somewhere."
"Yes, but what if that somewhere is in the belly of a wolf!" Miss Rue sobbed.
"What should we do?" asked Link.
"We should rally a search party," said Petra's mom.
Link and Miss Rue went back to Kakariko to get some people to help find Petra. Petra's Mother went around to each house telling everyone what had happened. Soon the entire village was on the case to find Petra. The village elder took charge of this mob once nearly all the men in the village were in it. "We must go and fined young Petra!" shouted a man. "Yes, we must find her!" said another.
Link came up to the village elder. "May I come to search for Petra?" asked Link.
"Sorry, squirt," replied the village elder, "we can't send you on this mission; it's far too dangerous."
"Please," Link bagged, "I wish to go help fined Petra. I should have known not to let her go home alone." Link put on his puppy dog eyes.
"Well…" mused the old man
Petra's uncle Todd came up behind Link, "I think I might be able to find a job for you." Link was then put with the task of carrying all the supplies; food, lanterns and other equipment. Petra's uncle was notorious for being lazy. He was tall, had a huge belly, and had a blond beard along with a balding head. He wore black and brown cloths, probably so no one would see the stains. Link wondered if Todd Rue wasn't ordered to carry the supplies, and jumped at the chance get put it off on Link.
By the time everyone was ready to head out into the forest it was noon. Todd was about to reach the forest, his pack mule Link close behind, when he stopped. "Where should I look first?" he asked himself.
"Maybe we should look on the trail to my house were she went missing." Link stated.
"Quiet Link I'm thinking!" said Mr. Rue stroking his beard thoughtfully, "We should go to the path to your house to see where Petra went missing."
"But I just said that!" Link complained
"Spare me your tedious life story Link, there is a girl that has gone missing. A girl I might add that is my beloved niece," said Mr. Rue.
Link didn't want to argue with Mr. Rue. The more arguing they did the more time Petra could be eaten by a bear. Link hobbled behind Todd Rue all the way across town to the path to Link's house. By the time they got to the middle of the path, Link was exhausted. "Hurry up link!" said Mr. Rue, "your a worse pack mule then my actual pack mule, Jerry."
"Wait," said link furiously, "you made me carry all this and you have a pack mule!"
"Hold your horses," said Todd Rue, "I hear something." There was a rustling in the bushes, and out jumps….a squirrel. "False alarm!" said Mr. Rue, "I thin k it's time for a lunch break." Todd sat down on a near by stump and pulled some cheese out of his pack.
Link threw down all the supplies he was carrying. Link sat down on the ground leaning up against a tree. Something caught Links eye. It was something red hanging off a tree branch. Link ran up to it and grabbed it. It was Petra's scarf. "Todd!" link exclaimed, "Petra's scarf."
Todd jumped up and walked over to where Link was. "That can't be Petra's scarf," he stated.
"Why?" Link asked.
"Because," Todd Rues aid holding up one finger in a "matter of fact" kind of way, "Petra's scarf was on Petra's neck. This scarf is not on Petra's neck. Therefore this could not be Petra's scarf."
"That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard," said link.
"Dumb like a fox," said Mr. Rue.
Suddenly a green humanoid like creature came out of the bushes about ten yards away from Link and Todd. It wore a brown tunic with no sleeves and had black britches on. On its side was a sling. The green creature twirled the sling around very fast and flung a projectile at them. The, what Link assumes was a rock, hit Link in the forehead. The last thing Link say before he passed out was Todd Rue running back toward the village. "What a coward," Link thought.
