The Legend Retold (darkmoogle)

[rexamillion]

She nodded with a bit more confidence and smiled to Link, she would hug him if she wouldn't crush him, he was always there for her, not that he had a choice though. She continued through the forest wondering what htey would find.

[thedarkmoogle]

They would be greeted by a bunch of Kokiri. Little girls and boys, all weilding rather painful slingshots. They laughed. "Heh, Freeze!" One said, and the rest giggled in turn. They quickly surrounded Linkara. "Hey, what're you doing here?" "Yeah, Ugly!" "You're fat, and you smell like Wolfos Doo-doo!"  Link buzzed out from under her hat. "Hey! cut it out!" They gasped.

"Hey, how'd you get a fairy?" "I bet she stole it!" "You can't steal a fairy, silly!" "How come you're grown up?" Link shouted. "Enough! I chose to join Linkara of my own free will. Now, as a Fairy, I demand you let us pass!" They all laughed. They quickly tackled Linkara, surrounding and overwhelming her. They put ropes around her hands and lifted her. "We're gonna take you to see the tree!" They carried her through the village, looking like it'd been run-down for a while. They ended at a grove, with a large tree. One of the kokiri drew Linkara's sword. "Heh, look at me, I'm a hero!" He said, making a full swing. Suddenly, he seemed to undergo a change. "H-Hey, guys, I don't think that's a good idea." He said worriedly. The Kokiri looked at him strangely. "Hey, lookit this. Sora's wimping out on us!" One said, laughing. The kid placed the sword back as they approached the Deku Tree, dropping her. The Deku Tree looked at her and smiled. "What is this, young ones? Someone wanting to play?" He said, childishly. "State your name, young one."

[rexamillion]

Grunting a bit at the rough landing as the boys and girls tossed her before the man she sighed. "Gah ....mff...I am Linkara, and Im hunting a dangerous man...he is dark and wears a hood carrying an evil book with him. ...and there is another...a beast of a man with a large axe...he killed all the Wolfos out in the forest."

[thedarkmoogle]

One of the kids raised his hand. "Oh, you mean Big Man A. He came through here about half an hour ago." Another Kokiri bonked him on the head. "Don't give our information to an outsider!" The Deku Tree laughed. "Children, children, calm down." One of the kids laughed when Linkara mentioned the wolfos. "Aww, the little puppies are dead." He said, faking sadness, then laughing hysterically. The kid who had touched the sword spoke up. "Hey! It's not funny!" They all glared at him. "Who asked you, Sora?" They all mocked him, and he stopped talking. Deku Tree got angry. "Enough!" They all stopped talking. "Ahem. Linkara, the first man you speak of is off in the Lost Woods. The other one, who we've named Big Man A, is currently after him. You may enter the lost woods if you wish, but be warned. It is dangerous without a guide." Sora spoke up. "I'll guide her!" The Deku Tree nodded. "Very well. Take your sword and go with her. Cut her ropes." He did as he was told. The Deku Tree smiled. "Linkara, I fear that things around here may begin to escalate. I wish I could have given you a warmer welcome."

[rexamillion]

"Not as much as I wish I had received one heh...just keep everyone safe, these men have caused a lot of blood to be spilt, Im going ot make them both pay. Thank you..Sora is it, I'm greatful for your help." Smiling as she gently takes her sword back from him and kisses his forehead lightly. "Lead the way young guide."

[thedarkmoogle]

Sora blushed and led her to the opening of the Lost Woods. He seemed sad about something. Link buzzed out. "Hey, Sora, I, um...I wanted to ask...Where's your Fairy?" Sora stopped in his tracks. "When the black man came, all the fairies left. They followed him into the woods. Something about 'Their Calling.' " He continued walking.

[rexamillion]

"A...calling...hmmm we should be careful, if this is like what happened to the Zora's and Goron's we might be in for some mischeivous evil fairies now." She sighed as she followed the boy into the Lost Woods. "I hope this wont take too long, the longer we take the more likely they wil lget away."

[thedarkmoogle]

"Yeah, Mr. Hood came in with a book. It was really black. Kind of like a hole that you could hold on to. We all looked at it. Of course, none of us could read, but it was really pretty. We saw a lot of colors when he opened it." He said, leading them through the woods. "Don't worry, not much longer."

[rexamillion]

Linkara stopped for a moment...she knew they were but children however....there was no garuntee that they weren't affected...but they ddin't..seem affected as she then continued with the boy trying to keep up. "Hmmm I see..."   She feared what could happen if her eyes ever touched this book herself.

[thedarkmoogle]

Link buzzed. "Yeah, this book seems to be the cause of the problem." They came across a large wide outcrop. It was large and square. There were blood and small trees laying everywhere. Sora looked horrified. "T-This was..." Link buzzed forward. "Oh, Goddesses..." Sora fell to his knees. "T-this used to be a maze...stalfos and moblins...they would protect the temple.."

[rexamillion]

She swallowed deeply as she looked over the cut down forest before them..."This is..horrid..this Ax man ....I almost hope he gets his wish...then again, if were unlucky he might be turned too...we can't have that...quick let's hurry!" She ran across teh open field trying to get through quickly, not even thinking the boy might have led her into a trap they could too be slaves as well after all.

[thedarkmoogle]

Sora followed her, there wasn't much left. The temple had begun to fall apart, but it still had its staircases. Sora nodded. "You go in. I have to tend to these..." He said, picking up the fallen saplings. Link nodded. "Right, Linkara, let's go into the temple!"

[rexamillion]

She nodded. "Stay safe and thank you for the guiding." Kissing his forehead again as she then heads up the stairs into the temple.

[thedarkmoogle]

The temple door would have a bone jammed into its lock, and be swung right open. The bodies of two more wolfos lay at the entrance, one of them used for its bone. inside, there would be several chambers, all unlocked in a very brutal manner. There was one central corridor leading down to a much larger door. Bloody footprints stained it.

[rexamillion]

Swallowing nervously she followed the bloody foot prints deeper into the temple, wondering what in the world happened here and hoping she never finds out as she looks around the next chamber.
