Peace was finally a word that could be used in the present. After constant warring and sacrifice, there was peace across all of Hyrule, Ordon, Arorindu, Labrynna, and Holodrum. A number of magicians, like scientists except for magic, began to create numerous great theories. They made a vast number of magical achievements, not the least of which was the discovery of other realms like the Sacred Realm, Light and Time, which were the Twilight Realm, Twilight and Shadow, and the Upper Wood, Forest and Air.
From the essence of the Sacred Realm, the Ocarina of Time was made. From the essence of the Twilight Realm, the Mirror of Twilight was made. From the essence of the Upper Wood, the Ring of the Kokiri was made. These three objects were more powerful than any mortal or immortal realized at first. A Kokiri Boss, Hiran, took the Ring of the Kokiri for himself and made himself King of the Kokiri.
Makaran Treehopper the Vine Kokiri had already left Erin and me. Erin Treehopper the Wood Kokiri gathered the Wood Kokiri, I, Joshua Treehopper the Leaf Kokiri, gather the Leaf Kokiri, and Juniper Treesitter the Snow Boss Kokiri gathered the Snow Kokiri. Together, we faced Hiran and the Vine, Cloud, Seed, and Healing Kokiri. The few tribes out of the war were simply so isolated that neither side made an effort to gain them.
Erin and I were more like rallying flags than leaders, so Juniper took command of the entire “Rebel Army”, as we were called so often. The Forest and Air Sages of that time tried to maintain neutrality, but it was impossible. The corrupt King Hiran managed to win them both over and, with their help, nearly ended us on several occasions.
I took a bold and stupid, yet necessary, risk. I attacked the king directly after seven hours of playing Hide and Seek with the four or five hundred guards.
“Joshua Treehopper, the Idiot of Leaves, glad you came. Now, I can acquire the Kokiri Emerald and then I can finish this uprising!”
“Hiran, you little, arrogant, bossy, corrupt twit,” Jordan insulted, “we’re taking you down.”
“Hiran, this is the end for you. The Kokiri should never have a king; it’s not right.”
“What’s not right,” his pink fairy Haru began, “is that you would defy us.”
“You stupid healing fairy wannabe,” Jordan insulted.
I drew my Kokiri Sword as I cast, “Kokiri Magic- Leaf Shield!” The Kokiri Sword was a broadsword with a red jewel in the center of the guard which rose up to the blade in a u-shape. The guard and hilt were made of red-hued Spellwood, a Kokiri specialty which rivaled iron. The blade was made of Mithril and had a full moon aura while in my care. Its sheathe was Spellwood with a blue-dyed tip. Both my sheathe and the sword itself were made for me by the Picori. The Leaf Shield was a summoned oval shield with a leaf pattern like that of scales on it and was about the length from my elbow to just beyond my fingertips’ reach. Three arm straps of magically strengthened leather ensured it would not fall off, because that would be embarrassing. The Kokiri Emerald tied around my neck by a Mithril chain was slightly.
The Air and Forest Sages suddenly came in on either side of Hiran. “Defeat him.”
The Air Sage channeled his magic through his violin to send me flying against the wall in the rectangular throne room. The Forest Sage channeled her magic through her ocarina to send thorns at me while a thick fog surrounded me and vines rushed out from the wall to pin me there.
Jordan flew away just in time. Hang in there, I’ll be back!
Get back before I die, okay?
Two minutes later, I heard a girl cast, “Kokiri Magic- Wood Wall!!!”
Another girl cast, “Kokiri Magic- Avalanche!!!”
The fog and vines were still in place, but at least the thorns and gales weren’t coming any more. “Thanks, I was getting blasted.”
“We saw,” Erin’s voice taunted, “However, you didn’t, apparently; why do you do everything yourself?”
“I didn’t expect to face all three at once; Kokiri Emerald Magic- Kokiri Magic Drain!!” The Kokiri Emerald absorbed the fog and vines and I returned to the ground from the wall. Jordan, we got some help, but hurry.
I’m on my way back, hang on a little longer.
I upgrade cast, “Kokiri Magic- Leaf Claw!!” Three half-foot long claws extended from my Leaf Shield in the same leaf pattern that was on my shield. The king stepped forward. “I’ll take Hiran.”
Erin immediately declared, “Then the Forest Sage is mine.”
Juniper sighed and unenthusiastically said, “Then the Air Sage is mine, I guess.”
Hiran clenched his right hand, which had the Ring of the Kokiri on, aimed at me, and cast, “Ring of the Kokiri Magic- Full Charge!!!!”
I, as he did that, pointed my Kokiri Sword and Leaf Claw at my Kokiri Emerald and cast, “Kokiri Emerald Magic- Full Charge!!!!”
Two beams of magic fired at each other, a bright green from my emerald and a golden one from Miran’s ring. At the point of contact, an energy sphere began to build up.
Erin cast, “Kokiri Magic- Spellwood Dual Hammers!!!” This summoning spell conjured two war hammers made of red-hued Spellwood. The Forest Sage clashed with a Spellwood Staff.
Juniper cast, “Kokiri Magic- Dual Frost Axes!!!” This summoning spell conjured two battle axes with the hilts and other wood parts made of Spellwood, the metal axe heads were made of Mithril. The Air Sage clashed with two Mithril Scimitars.
This combat dragged on for what seemed like years, but was actually just a couple of minutes. Finally, my last magic reserves began to fail. Hiran’s magic began to push my beam back. He laughed as this happened, until suddenly, something interesting happened. “Wolf Magic- Moonlit Claw Crush!!!” Oromis, who was technically my uncle and a gold-furred wolf with one bright red eye, his right one, was a deity who represented the moon. He crashed into Hiran, disrupting his attack. He continued towards the Air Sage and then the Forest Sage. “Did I arrive in time?”
“Yeah, did we arrive in time?” Jordan asked from on his head.
“I’d have to say you both did. Jordan, suit up. This battle’s not over by a long shot.”
Jordan flew into a Magic Sack at Oromis’ side and came out moments later about my height with a wooden hammer and a triangular hat on. “How do I look?”
“Like a Kokiri,” Oromis stated. “But let’s focus on the task at hand.” We faced the King and the Sages. “You are outnumbered, surrender.”
“You must be Oromis, the Deity of the Moon, well, it does not matter. You’re all too late! So long as I am in the Upper Wood, this ring will provide me with all the magic I need!!” He shot his clenched fist high into the air and laughed maniacally.
“So, that’s it? You believe we have no chance of beating you? Well, in that case,” I aimed my Kokiri Sword at him, “I’ll have to crush your belief and save the Upper Wood.”
Hiran’s ring transformed into a broadsword, “You dare defy your king? Oh, right, you’re a rebel. Well, I’ll smite you, wretched rebel!” He rushed at me. The Air Sage rushed at Juniper and Jordan. The Forest Sage rushed at Erin and Oromis.
The sounds of battle echoed throughout the Upper Wood as the whole castle began to shake. The guards fled for what they feared were their lives. The magicians and civilians of the Upper Wood fled, all but the natives. The natives were Ents, who looked like talking, walking trees but got angry if you called them that, and the Dryads, who looked like smaller talking, walking trees and tended to be more shamanistic than the Ents.
The natives took this as their chance to rid their realm of the corrupt Kokiri forever. They besieged the defenderless castle, causing more panic and mayhem. But still we fought. We fought until the last possible moment, Jordan, Oromis and I fought until we couldn’t fight anymore, and then we fought some more. Juniper and Erin returned to Hyrule to find that the Kokiri there had been rounded up and captured by the rebelling armies.
Suddenly, a golden light blasted me. I heard a heavenly woman’s voice, “Joshua, my child, take this gift.”
A golden light blasted Oromis. He heard a brutish man’s voice, “Oromis, my child, take this gift.”
A final golden light blasted Jordan. He heard an elderly and wise voice, “Jordan, my child, take this gift.”
I felt the Triforce of Courage and looked on the back of my right hand to see its symbol shining brightly there. Oromis felt the Triforce of Power and could see it on the back of his right paw. Jordan felt the Triforce of Wisdom and could see it on the back of his right hand.
I returned my Leaf Claw into myself and cast, “Fusion of Kokiri Emerald and Triforce of Courage!!” The Kokiri Emerald flowed into my hand and appeared over the Triforce symbol, “Kokiri’s Triforce of Emerald Courage!!!! This time, there will be no escape for you!!” I charged at Hiran, he charged at me, and our blades clashed. The sword he held reverted into the Ring of the Kokiri and his body erupted in a blaze of golden fire. The ring fell on the floor. The Ents and Dryads stopped their attacks.
Oromis attacked the Forest Sage with, “Wolf Magic- Powerful Moonlit Claw Crush!!!!”
Jordan attacked the Air Sage with, “Picori Magic- Wise Gale of the Heavens!!!!”
The Forest and Air Sages were blasted backwards so far they fell through the portal leading back to the Forest Temple. As soon as that happened, a gold dragon with black eyes and black claws rose from out of the Ring of the Kokiri. “I will make you pay!!!” He flew out of the throne room of the ruined castle into the sky and unleashed a roar.
“Oromis, Jordan, let’s finish Hiran once and for all; Kokiri Magic- Leaf Wings!!” Two wings made of magic and which made me look like an angel with wings made of leaves sprouted from my shoulder blades. Oromis and Jordan nodded. The three of us took to the skies and attacked Hiran the corrupt dragon.
Our bodies were already tired, the Ents and Dryads could tell as we were all slammed down by a single tail whip from Hiran. The Ents raised our bodies to the skies. The Dryads began to drone, which is a deep, constant hum. Magic flowed into our beaten, battered bodies. Our eyes opened wide with the flow of energy. A voice echoed from Hyrule, “Take these Spiritual Stones!!” The Arori Ruby and Oocca Sapphire, currently known as the Goron’s Ruby and Zora’s Sapphire, flew out of the closing portal to Oromis and Jordan respectively.
Oromis cast, “Fusion of Arori Ruby and Triforce of Power!!” The Arori Ruby shot into his hand and appeared over the Triforce symbol, “Arori’s Triforce of Ruby Power!!!! Hiran, we end this now!!”
Jordan cast, “Fusion of Oocca Sapphire and Triforce of Wisdom!!” The Oocca Sapphire shot into his hand and appeared over the Triforce symbol, “Oocca’s Triforce of Sapphire Wisdom!!!! Hiran, we’re taking you down!!”
“Thank you, forest folk.” The Ents and Dryads smiled softly at my acceptance of them.
Oromis, Jordan, and I shot up into the sky like three comets, complete with tails. Hiran tried to claw us and tail whip us, but we were too fast. We formed a triangle formation around him. Oromis was to the north, Jordan was to the southwest, and I was to the southeast. We combined cast, “Spiritual Triforce Magic- Triangulated Crash Attack!!!!” We all rushed inwards and smashed Hiran right in the chest and emerged on the sides opposite where we’d started, turned around, and went through again. Hiran exploded.
An Ent called up, “The portal is closing!! Hurry out!!” The Dryads came together near the portal and channeled what was left of their magic into it. The energies of the Spiritual Stones of Fire and Water, the Arori Ruby and Oocca Sapphire, returned to Hyrule and the Kokiri Emerald returned to its position around my neck. The Triforce returned to from whence it came. In the commotion, nobody realized the Ring of the Kokiri flash a few times and fire itself into the Kokiri Shrine of the Castle of the Kokiri, which still stood tall. As we neared the portal, the Minish Cap, the green triangular hat Jordan was wearing, shrunk and shot into the Picori Shrine. Jordan turned to get it. “There is no time, hurry out!!” Jordan nodded and followed Oromis and I out the portal just an instant before it closed.
We realized then that the Forest and Air Sages had come to their senses and were also assisting in keeping the portal open. With that victory, I reached into a blank book and cast one of the earliest Rune Spells, “Rune Magic- Triple Key Seal!!!” The keys to open the portal back to the Castle of the Kokiri, and just as importantly, the Castle of the Kokiri, will be revealed to you at a later time.
Finally, the worst conflict the Kokiri had faced up until that point was over and peace returned to our forests. Time passed, more wars occurred, but that is the fate of all kingdoms. We have wars, we have peace, we die, we return.
