Chapter 43

Morgan and Hope walked through the forest they had found themselves in after the world jumped, they quickly figured out that this forest had some sort of magical effect that would force anyone walking around to go in circles and get easily lost, possibly forever too.

However, both young dragon gods are immune to such magical effects, their senses are too sharp to be confused by the forest's natural and magical ability to make people lose their way, so both Morgan and Hope just calmly and happily strolled around the forest while trying to sense anyone else alive in this forest.

Eventually, both girls picked up a few energy signatures and thus, they followed where those energies seemed to be located, along the way they did find a few odd things.

For one, they sometimes found these green gem-like objects on the ground, both Morgan and Hope picked them up since they seem a bit valuable and because they would be useful to them at some point, to both young girls the green gem-like objects looked very pretty as well.

They were also attacked by some weird plant-like monsters, though the way Hope was suddenly attacked annoyed her and made Morgan laugh, the plant-like monster sprouted from the ground behind the girls as they both walked past it.

It then suddenly took a bite out of Hope's butt, it didn't hurt her or anything like that, but did make her feel a bit embarrassed at the situation she found herself in, having something try to use her butt as a chewing toy not only felt odd but it was very annoying.

It didn't help that Morgan couldn't stop laughing at Hope's situation either, which pretty much sealed the plant-like monster's fate, Hope glared at the plant monster as it bit her butt, which made the monster nervously sweat and regret its life choices.

Hope just grabbed the plant monster's head and squeezed it until it pop like a balloon, after that Morgan finally stopped laughing she went to investigate where the plant-like monster had died and found a big long sturdy stick on the ground.

Curious about the wooden stick, Morgan picked it up and inspect it "Look, that monster dropped loot".

Hope sighed, still feeling a bit annoyed at what had happened to her, but still took a look at the wood stick from afar "Isn't that just a stick Morgan?".

Morgan shook her head "No, this thing has a lot of mana in it, it feels like Uncle Harry and Eri's Wands".

Hope raised an eyebrow at that statement, getting now even more curious about the stick, she decided to walk over to Morgan and take a better look, once she was close enough she looked at the wooden stick with all her senses "You're right... this wooden stick is saturated with mana, we could even make a wand out of it, a very powerful one at that".

Morgan smiled "That's good no? Japan doesn't have that many types of magical wood, Aunty Yasaka has always said that Neo Kyoto has to mostly import magical wood from out of the country.

The wizards and witches that are members of the Yokai Faction do need to have wands made, and since you killed that monster, that means it will spawn in the Natural Dungeon now so we can maybe use it".

Hope nodded, her daddy is one of the few wandmakers in Japan, in fact, he even made a specially crafted wand for Eri out of cherry wood and one of his heartstrings.

So she had heard him often say that getting magical wood is both expensive and hard to come by, luckily he has his own garden with all kinds of trees to get wood from at home, but he can't overuse them anyways.

As a sage, her daddy refuses to abuse plant life, so having another source of magical wood would be a boon, not just for him but for the few wandmakers that operate in Japan as well "Yeah, this is good. Looks like this world has a lot of resources, so let's keep an eye open on everything that looks interesting".

Morgan nodded and then put the wood stick in her boosted gear inventory, she then smiled at Hope and together they kept walking, though Hope was now a bit warier of the ground and plant-like monsters.

-----

Sometime after, both Hope and Morgan made it out of the woods and into a small forest village, it is a very beautiful little village, it only had a few houses made out of trunks and trees in the forest.

But it looks very much alive, there were these small golden lights flying around everywhere, along with a very abundant feeling of joy and youthfulness, this place made Morgan and Hope smile at the cheer brightness of the village.

Both girls quickly jumped down from the cliff they had arrived on after coming out of a trunk-like tunnel from the forest, they softly landed beside a small house with a ring of stones right outside of its front door.

In the middle of the circle of stones stood a small girl with green clothes and blonde hair trying to lift the stone in the middle of the circle of stones, though she wasn't having any luck and was struggling to even move the stone a bit.

Curious about what the green-wearing girl was doing, both Morgan and Hope approached her, the girl didn't even hear or feel them approach her, she was too busy growling and trying to lift the stone up.

So when Morgan suddenly tapped her shoulder, she ended up jumping and screaming in fright, the poor green-wearing girl stepped back in a hurry and away from Morgan, which made her trip on her own feet and fall on her butt.

The girl groaned in pain and rubbed her behind to try to make the pain go away, she then looked up towards who had scared her half to death and found two unknown girls staring at her apologetically.

The green-wearing girl slowly stood up, wiped her clothes from dirt, and then deadpanned at both Morgan and Hope "That wasn't funny you know? What were you trying to do? Scare me out of my tunic?".

Morgan sheepishly laughed and shook her head "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I was just trying to get your attention since I was curious about what you were doing".

The green-wearing girl sighed and nodded understanding that the girl in front of her didn't mean to scare her "It's fine, I guess I was just too distracted, to begin with so it's kinda my fault too, but who are you guys? You don't seem like Kokiri and I don't think I've seen you guys before".

Morgan and Hope raised an eyebrow at the unknown word, they were very curious as to what a Kokiri is, but deciding to keep quiet about what they are and where they came from this time, they decided to just normally introduce themselves, Morgan pointed at herself with a smile and said, "I'm Morgan! and my friend is Hope! We got lost in the forest but luckily we found this little town~ but quick question though, what are Kokiri?".

The green-wearing girl widen her eyes but soon calmed down seeing that both girls seemed okay "Ah, well I'm Fado, it's a good thing you found your way out of the forest, people who get lost in there become stalfos... as for what a Kokiri is, well that's what I and everyone who lives here are".

Morgan and Hope shared a look, they didn't know what a stalfos was, but it didn't sound good, given how worried Fado looked when she mentioned it, but they still didn't fully understand what a Kokiri is, to them Fado looked a bit like an elf after all, though a small one at that.

Suddenly a pink orb of light flew out of Fado's clothes and began to make these odd bell-like sounds at the young Kokiri girl, Fado seemed to understand the little being of light since she awkwardly laughed and then said "Ah sorry... my fairy friend just told me that my explanation might be too vague.

Well! The Kokiri are a clan of children-like beings, we all live here, in the Kokiri Woods, and are taken care of by the Great Deku Tree! All Kokiri have a fairy partner, a gift from the Great Deku Tree himself! That's pretty much it though".

Morgan and Hope intently stared at the now-revealed Fairy, this made the poor fairy fidget a bit, from the attention she was getting from Hope and Morgan.

Morgan, however, walked over to the fairy and took a closer look, her dragonic eyes adjusted to the bright pink light right away and she was able to see the fairy itself within the pink light.

This made Morgan smile "Ah~ you're so cute! Love the pink hair and the pretty flower clothes!".

The fairy squeaked and flew right into Fado's clothes in embarrassment, Fado just chuckled a bit finding the whole event funny and interesting "Sorry about that, she's a little shy, but I'm surprised you could see her.

Most fairies hide behind their veil of light, out of protection of course, and hardly ever show themselves to anyone, so you caught her by surprise".

Morgan shook her head "Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make her nervous or uncomfortable, I was just curious, and well, my eyes are just special so I can see what others can't".

Fado nodded and accepted Morgan's explanation as to why she was able to see her fairy's true form "That's all right, she's just shy, so don't worry, no harm done".

Morgan nodded and seemed relieved that she was forgiven, suddenly there were a few bell-like sounds coming out from Fado's clothes, Fado heard them and nodded "Oh that's right, I almost forgot that you wanted to know what I was doing.

Well, I was just trying to lift these rocks and throw them so they would break, sometimes you can find all kinds of things under them or in them, things like rupees and even hearts!".

This information made Morgan and Hope very curious, so they both each grabbed a rock with one hand and lifted it up with ease, Fado gaped at this and stared at both girls in disbelief.

From underneath the rocks, two green gem-like objects popped out, Morgan and Hope then crushed both rocks with their hands to see if anything else might pop out, Morgan's didn't have anything, but from Hope's rock, a small red heart popped out and fell to the ground.

Both Morgan and Hope stared at the little red heart in curiosity, Fado just shook her head and snapped out of it from her surprise at the girls' strength, she then began to speak "Oh, you found two rupees and a heart, nice".

Morgan bent down and picked up the rupees, while Hope bent down and began to poke the heart, this made it wobble a bit like if it was made of jello or something, which made Hope giggle in amusement.

Morgan then turned around towards Fado and decided to ask a couple of questions "So what do we do with rupees and hearts?".

Fado was of course perplexed by that question, everyone in Hyrule knew what rupees and hearts are for, but she pushed it aside when she remembered where the girls came out of.

The lost woods are famous for bringing people from even other worlds, so who knows where Morgan and Hope came from? With that in mind, Fado went on to explain what someone could do with rupees and hearts "Hearts can heal your wounds a bit, they're a gift from the Goddess and are meant to keep the people of Hyrule safe.

Though monsters and people with evil in their hearts cannot use them, rupees are money, you buy stuff with them, in fact, I was collecting some so I could buy some deku nuts".

Morgan kept in mind the mention of monsters, she had already guessed that this world had monsters, one biting Hope's butt was a big clue to that, she also was curious about the hearts and how they can heal but she then decided to leave that to Hope.

She was already putting away the heart they found in her dress pocket anyways so she was sure she would be looking into it later, with those two facts in mind, Morgan decided to give Fado the two rupees they found, they didn't need them and she wanted to do something for Fado for helping them "Here Fado, you can have them".

The Kokiri widen her eyes in surprise, not expecting Morgan to give her the rupees she picked up "Eh? Are you sure? Won't you need them or something?".

Morgan shook her head "Nah, if we can find them easily under rocks or something, then Hope and can get some more later".

Fado nodded and then took the two rupees Morgan was handing to her, she put them away into her tunic and then decided to give the girls one more tip "You can also find all sorts of items by cutting tall grass, I don't have anything to do it with, but I'm sure you both can pull something else".

Morgan smiled at Fado "Oh ~ that's nice to know! Thanks Fado, we'll make sure to keep that in mind".

Hope stood up and gave Fado a little bow "Yes, thank you for the information, it's very useful to us".

Fado just gave the girls both a smile and a bow, Mogan and Hope then waved goodbye to Fado and then left to tour the little forest village of the Kokiri.

Fado just watched as both girls walked over to the pond in the middle of Kokiri village and then gaped as they began to walk on the water. The poor Kokiri girl just watched as both girls reached the other side of the small pond and talked to one of the other Kokiri girls just outside one of the houses on the other side of the lake.

-----

Morgan and Hope explored Kokiri Village for a while and collected a few things from cutting grass or breaking stones, mostly more rupees and hearts, though they also found some odd-looking seeds and nuts.

They also talked to some of the Kokiri in the village and asked some mundane questions, like what the seeds and nuts were and what they're used for, that's how they found out they were deku nuts and deku seeds, they also found out that the stick the plant like creature dropped was called a deku stick.

But the thing that really caught their attention, was the location of the Great Deku Tree, so once they were told where they can see the tree they both immediately headed there.

However, they found a Kokiri standing right in front of the path leading towards the Great Deku Tree, this Kokiri frowned at both girls and crossed his arms at them the moment they approached him "What do you want here? You're not Kokiri so leave!".

Morgan narrowed her eyes at the rude Kokiri, so far all the Kokiri they've met have always been friendly and cheerful, but this one was rude and mean and Morgan didn't like that at all "We just want to see the Great Deku Tree...".

The Kokiri glared at Morgan "As if I would let you go see the Great Deku Tree little girl! It's enough that I had to let that fake Kokiri Link in, to see the Great Deku Tree, I'm not about to let two strangers do so as well!".

Morgan frowned "Look, I'm being very nice here, we just want to see the Great Deku Tree, the other Kokiri said we could go visit him".

The Kokiri scoffed "So what? I'm Mido the leader of the Kokiri, what I say goes! And I say, you both won't be going to- ugh!".

There was a loud bam sound that echoed through the village, as Morgan slammed her fist on the top of Mido's head, the so-called leader of the Kokiri crumble like a puppet with its strings cut off and dropped to the ground unconscious.

Morgan huffed and then rolled Mido's unconscious body to the side and into some tall grass, she then clapped her hands and harrumphed in annoyance "Jerk".

Hope lightly laughed and shook her head in amusement "Forget about him, let's go see the Great Deku Tree".

Morgan nodded to Hope, and together, both girls quickly walked down the pathway, meanwhile, Mido's fairy partner popped out of his clothes and began to try to shake him awake.

But since that wasn't working, she immediately took off flying to find some help to hopefully wake Mido up, the little fairy really wishes that Mido wasn't so mean all the time, he wouldn't be unconscious right now if that was the case.

-----

Morgan and Hope reached the Great Deku Tree in a matter of a few seconds, though they did have to kill a few deku babas on the pathway they took to get there, it wasn't a big issue, but now that the girls arrived right in front of the Great Deku Tree, both of them looked up at it in awe.

Morgan then grinned "Wow! I've never seen a tree this big!".

Hope nodded, however, she was also staring at something rather peculiar about the tree, it had a face and a very impressive mustache as well "... That's both weird and interesting".

Morgan looked around the tree to see if there was anything else of interest about it and then, she caught sight of some sort of opening at the bottom of the tree "Look Hope! We can take a look inside of the tree!".

Hope looked down towards what Morgan was looking at and then stared at the opening "Oh? you're right, I didn't think there would be a way inside it, does that mean it's hollow?".

Morgan shrugged and shook her head "Who knows!? But we should check it out though, I want to see what the inside of such a big tree looks like!".

Hope nodded and together with Morgan, both girls walked over towards the opening on the Great Deku Tree, completely unaware that the tree itself was watching them do so.

-----

The Great Deku Tree had been resting while waiting for young Link to finish his quest, he felt bad lying to the young child, knowing that no matter what Link did, he was fated to die, but this was the perfect test for him.

Dark times were approaching, no doubt brought about by the evil sorcerer that visited him not that long ago and cursed him with that horrible monster, Queen Gohma the hideous spider-like creature that is eating at him from the inside.

He didn't know why Ganondorf wanted the Kokiri emerald, but the Great Deku Tree suspected it wasn't a good thing, in order to see if Link was ready for his quest he decided to test him and then decide whether he could entrust the Kokiri emerald to him.

However, something had changed, something that he was sure no one had ever expected, two incredible power signatures appeared out of nowhere in the Lost Woods.

Those energy signatures sent shockwaves throughout Hyrule and he himself was shaken by their nature, an ever-burning celestial flame, and pure and unadulterated power.

Such powerful energies had scared the Great Deku Tree quite a bit, especially because he sensed the energies heading towards the Kokiri Village, he didn't have any power or energy to repel such powerful beings and was fearing the worst.

But then, the energies didn't do anything bad, instead, they seemed to be talking to his children and walking around the village, it was very odd to the Great Deku Tree.

But, he was also happy that the energies weren't hostile, sure they seemed to have knocked out Mido, but the Great Deku Tree knew that his oldest child was a bit... rough around the edges? Well, in any case, he was sure Mido had done something to deserve getting knocked out and then, he finally got to see the owners of such great powers.

Only to be shocked to see a red-headed young girl and black haired one, both girls didn't seem evil nor hostile, but rather curious about his form, but the Grea Deku Tree couldn't speak to them.

Nor ask any questions, he was already very low on life force and power, he was conserving his strength to speak with young Link one more time and couldn't afford to speak with both girls.

All he could do is silently watch as the young girls walked over to the entrance to his insides and walk inside, the Great Deku Tree didn't have any other choice but to pray to the three goddesses that the two young girls wouldn't do anything to young Link.

-----

Both Morgan and Hope walked inside the tree and took a look around, Hope frowned as she saw all sorts of monsters roaming about, mostly spiders with skulls for abdomens and deku babas, but even those monsters didn't particularly look strong, they still gave off a dark taint, one Hope didn't like.

A taint that was seeping to the tree itself, Morgan frowned and walked deeper inside "I can sense a very dark and evil energy all over the place...".

Hope nodded and walked up to Morgan "Yeah... it's corrupting the tree and draining its life force".

Morgan took a few steps further inside and then looked down a big hole in the middle of the inside of the tree, she saw some water and a few bits of land at the bottom of the hole "The evil energy signature is coming from down there".

Hope took a look as well and then nodded to Morgan "Then let's check it out".

Morgan nodded and immediately jumped down, Hope followed right after, and a few seconds later, both girls landed on top of the water and stood there for a second.

They both sensed around and then followed the dark taint towards a door in a corner of the room they dropped into, both walked on top of the water and headed for the door.

It opened for them and both girls walked inside, the room they walked into was empty, though it did have another door, so both girls walked to it and it opened for them as well.

Morgan and Hope wasted no time and walked inside the next room, where they found a moving platform on top of a small deep pond, right in the middle of the room was a spinning pipe full of sharp and painful-looking barbs.

Morgan frowned as she stared at the pipe full of barbs "That looks like a nasty trap... this place feels like a dungeon room now that I think about it".

Hope nodded in agreement, in the Natural Dungeon, there were some odd rooms or chambers that had some sort of puzzle that you have to solve to move forward, the dungeon itself doesn't tolerate cheating, so if anyone tries to ignore the puzzle or get over it with their powers.

They get kicked out of the Natural Dungeon, not that anyone has tried, it was general knowledge, that solving a puzzle in the Natural Dungeon can net you some very amazing rewards, from powerful gear to skill scrolls and even lots of money.

But, Hope doubted the tree had the power to kick them out of here if they were to just pass by the puzzle of this room "Let's go, I rather not waste any time in here".

Morgan nodded and then both girls walked over the water and hopped over the pipe filled with barbs, once on the other side they walked over to the small block that had been moved to the middle of an opening above it.

But girls then jumped onto the opening and walked through the door they found there as soon as it opened, once in the next room, they looked around to see a few torches with flames burning bright and another door.

Not seeing anything of interest in this chamber, both Morgan and Hope walked over to the other door in this room and once it opened for them they walked inside.

Once in the next room, both girls walked forward, only for a spider with a skull-like abdomen to drop from above and stop right in front of them.

Morgan and Hope deadpanned at the spider monster, which made it sweatdrop, not expecting such a reaction from the girls, Morgan suddenly raised a hand and blasted the monster apart with a small ki blast.

Hope shook her head "What was that spider even planning of doing? Make us scream or something?".

Morgan shrugged "Who knows, let's just keep going and forget about that weird spider monster".

Both girls walked towards the middle of the room and looked around, then they noticed a wall with a small hole going through the other side of this room, both girls walked over to it and looked at the wall.

Not feeling like crawling, Morgan clapped her hand and used a bit of earth manipulation to enlarge the small hole at the bottom of the wall, once it was big enough, both girls walked through it.

On the other side of the opening, Morgan made on the wall, was another chamber, this one has a small pond and a hole leading further down, the girls sensing the dark taint's location, immediately jumped down and landed on the water down below.

A big chamber awaited them down below and a sole door, Morgan looked around for a bit and then said "We're almost there, the dark taint is closer now".

Hope nodded but then narrowed her eyes "Yes, but now that we're closer, I can also sense two small energy signatures, looks like they're in the next room along with the dark taint".

Morgan frowned and was starting to get worried about the small energy signatures that Hope sensed, now that she was made aware of them, she could also sense them as well "Well, then let's go, whoever is inside that room with that dark taint, is definitely in trouble".

-----

In the room with the big dark taint, stood a young boy wearing a green tunic and a floppy hat, as he stared at the massive monster walking around the ceiling of the dark chamber he thought back to what Navi had told him about the monster he was facing, his fairy partner, Navi had told him the name of this monster first, Queen Gohma.

When he had been sealed inside this dark chamber with this monster, he had been able to strike its one weak spot a couple of times, before the monster began to crawl on the ceiling and away from him.

It would have been easy to shoot it down with his fairy slingshot, but the Queen Gohma began to drop eggs all over the floor, eggs that hatched fast and released a whole bunch of gohmas, that immediately pounced at him.

Link was then forced to defend himself and fight the gohmas, while the queen continued to drop more and more eggs, Navi suddenly began to let out desperate bell-like sounds [Link! you have to stop Queen Gohma! Otherwise, this will never end!].

Link nodded, but he really didn't have an idea on how to bring the Queen Gohma down while also fending off her offspring, things were looking pretty dire and it made Link wish he had stayed asleep.

Why did Saria have to wake him up today? However, the wall that had dropped over the door leading to this chamber, sealing him inside, was blown away with a very loud bang.

It startled Link, it made Navi hide in his tunic, even the gohmas and the Queen Gohma froze in shock at the abrupt interruption to their battle, but the surprises didn't end there, as two unknown girls walked inside.

Girls that Link didn't recognize, which had him wondering where they come from, they certainly weren't Kokiri, that's for sure, maybe visitors from outside the woods?

But before Link could ponder further, the black-haired girl suddenly walked forward and looked up towards Queen Gohma "We found you~ so your the big dark taint in this tree! Wow, you look creepy".

Now, that's something Link can agree with, Queen Gohma was a very creepy-looking creature for sure, well, anyone would be creeped out by a giant spider with a big single eye glaring at you, but the way the black-haired girl just nonchalantly said all of that, kind of took Link off guard.

Suddenly, the red-haired girl walked over to him and snapped her fingers causing each and every gohma to burst into flames and die, Link just widened his eyes in awe at the great show of fire magic the red-haired girl just performed.

The red-haired girl then turned her head towards the black-haired one and said "Morgan, bring that thing down but be careful not to damage the tree any further".

The now-revealed Morgan grinned and nodded "Sure Hope!".

Link then gaped as Morgan dropped on all four and took off running on her feet and hands, to Link's never-ending shock, Morgan then began to run along the wall and even the ceiling until she reached the startled and confused Queen Gohma, it was then that Morgan kicked off the monster from the ceiling.

Queen Gohma roared as she was sent falling to the ground and landed right behind Link, Link turned around and then stared at the monster as it lay there with its single eye spinning.

Link immediately reacted, he didn't know why or how, but his arm automatically moved and began to slash at Queen Gohma's wobbly eye, Hope raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything and watched him attack the monster.

Morgan dropped from the ceiling and tilted her as she watched him attack Queen Gohma with extreme prejudice, Queen Gohma suddenly roared in pain and tried to get up, but the girl named Hope walked over and said, "So her eye is a weak spot, now let me give it a try".

Link jumped back and watched as Hope took out some sort of device and aimed at Queen Gohma, the monster roared and lifted her legs to attack Hope, Link was about to run over and cover her with his shield.

But then there was a very loud bang, that stopped Link in his tracks as Queen Gohma roared and then dropped to the ground where she burst into blue flames, the girls and Link watched Queen Gohma die and then turned into ssh leaving a large heart container.

Both Morgan and Hope looked at the heart container with curiosity, while Link sighed and put away his Kokiri sword and Kokiri shield, he then gave both Morgan and Hope a little bow as thanks for their aid, and both girls smiled at the small green-wearing boy.

Morgan then pointed at the heart container and asked "Do you know what's that?".

Link nodded and was about to respond, but Navi suddenly flew out of his tunic and began to fly around [I'll answer that! That's a heart container! It's a very rare and handy power-up that increases one's life!].

Link nodded to let the girls know that it was exactly as Navi had described, Morgan nodded and gave both him and Navi and thankful smile, Hope then said "Ah, then you can have it, me and Morgan don't need it".

Navi moved her body up and down and seemed unsure [Really? Cause I'm not going to lie, Link here needs all the help he can get! He's kinda scrawny but you girls did help a lot!].

Link frowned and shook his head, he wasn't scrawny! He was the strongest of all Kokiri, though that in itself, is not a big deal, still! It counts a bit.

Link's thoughts showed on his face and it made Morgan and Hope laugh a bit, which made Link sheepishly scratch the back of his head, Morgan then said, "You take that heart container, me and Hope don't need it and I'm sure it would be come in handy for you to have it".

Link sighed but then smiled and nodded, he then walked over to the heart container and picked it up, he then lifted it above his head in victory, suddenly there was a sudden fanfare-like sound and both Morgan and Hope looked around in confusion.

Hope frowned in confusion "Where did that tune come from!?".

Morgan just shrugged "I don't know, but it is kind of catchy!".

Link ignored the comments and confusion from the girls as he noticed a blue light circle appear right beside him, both girls soon noticed it as well and stared at it, Hope walked over with Morgan following her close behind "What's this?".

Navi once again answered Hope's question "[It's a teleporter! It will take us right outside of this place].

Hope nodded, understanding the concept behind this odd magic circle, Morgan hummed and then said "That's oddly convenient".

Link nodded and then pointed at the teleporter, Morgan nodded to Link letting him know that she understood his intention "You want to use it right?".

Link nodded, Morgan then shared a look with Hope and both then nodded to each other, Link stepped forward with both Morgan and Hope stepping beside him inside the blue light circle on the ground.

Once all three were inside, they were lifted off the ground and then Morgan, Hope, and Link disappeared in a flash of blue light, leaving behind the dark chamber of the Great Deku Tree.
