Link woke up groggily to the sound of a VERY loud fairy. In his daze he could only pick up bits and peices of what he figured was a she, was saying, "hyrule... fate... azy boy!"

Link yawned and stretched. "Gwahhh-ahh."

The fairy calmed her tone of voice, but continualy flew in paces. "You've been summoned to see The Great Deku Tree! C'mon, lets go!"

Link, still slightly groggy from that rather rude awakening, popped of the bed without a word and stumbled out the door. The bright light of day shone in his eyes, but it felt good, woke him up some more. He was ready to go! But before he could shimmy down his ladder, or even get to it, a Girl with perfectly shaped green hair, and the clothing of a kokiri.

"Hey Link! Is it true? You've been called to an audience by The Great Deku Tree?" she asked, barley containing the excitment on her face.

"Yeah Saria, from what I was told by... Hey, what is your name?"

The fairy seemed to glow with pride, "I'm Navi, messenger of the Deku Tree!"

Saria somehow managed to make her face beam brighter. Navi started trying to pull Link down the ladder, but was really just giving a feeble tug on his finger.

Link laughed, "Okay, I get the hint. Let's go!"

Link slid down the ladder, waved to Saria, then charged forward in the direction of The Great Deku Tree. Normally he would be waving to all his friends on the way there, but there was no time to lose. He was going as fast as he could, maybe faster. Nothing could stop hi-*CRACK* Link toppled forward into someone, and they rolled a good yard or two forward. Link could hear the groans of Mido on top of him.

"Uhnn. You can't (ahh, my head) come in here without a (jeez, am I bleeding?) Sword and Shield."

Link stood up quickly and defended, "Mido, you know I'm stronger than you, just let us go past!"

Mido snobily stuck his face up in the opposite direction.

"Wait Link,"

Link perked up and turned to look at the winged ball of light next to him... he really hadn't gotten to know her or anything.

"As unreasonable as this brat is being," she explained as Mido gasped and huffed around, "that IS a good idea. The Great Deku Tree was really talking up a storm about danger!"

Link recoiled. He really didn't expect that. Suddenly, his stomach turned into a Deku Nut. That feeling of utter nervousness shown for the first time in him.

"Alright... Let's Go!" he said, working up courage, "Any ideas on where to look?" Link inquired, knowing they lived in a very peaceful forest to be looking for a sword.

Navi was happy that Link was ready, but getting anxious. She didn't want the Great Deku Tree to wait.

"The shop?" she suggested hopefully.

So off they went pattering along, untill they reached the shop.

"Link! Up here!" shouted one of Link's friends from atop the entrance.

"Not now" Link said dully. As they walked inside, Navi was in awe at all the wares. Link came forward, used to this stuff, bought a deku shield and slung it over his shoulders.

The duo finally made their way to a hole in the rock walls around the village. Link looked to his shoulder, where Navi wad napping. He'd interrogate her more on what was needed of him later. More-so, what was SHE all about? He didn't want to be late for the Deku Tree's requested meeting. He laid her down in a shrub, and he went in. 1 minute passed.
Navi awoke to the sound of heavy panting and pain yelps. Link crawled out of the hole, and slumped on the ground. A sword was in his hand. "Link, are you okay?" Navi panicked. He lay still.
