10 Links AU Part 1: Rise of Ganondorf, Ignore Path-2
They would not recommend the tree to anyone. Wet, cold, stuffy, service was terrible, do not stay here.
The only good thing about the experience was the sound of hooves thundering harmlessly past. That and actually leaving the tree.
The same hand that had pulled them into the tree pushes them out. Link collapses to the ground, and if they physically could have hugged it they would have. Instead they wind up laying spread-eagle in the grass gasping lung fulls of fresh air.
They’re perfectly content to stay there, but after a few times the bizarre feeling of a ghostly hand poking through their shoulder can’t be ignored.
When they look up at the green wreathed ghost she looks surprisingly relieved.
“Oh good, you’re alive,” she says, “thought you might have been some kind of weird breathing corpse or something.”
“Breathing corpse?” they ask.
The ghost shrugs, “Hey, you never know. So, what brings you to this neck of the woods?”
“Mostly running for my life.” Link replies.
The ghost nods and Link pulls themself back to their feet.
“Who was that you were talking to?”
“No idea, I was a bit too preoccupied with the monster to listen to them.”
“Think you should find them and ask?”
Link wilts, “I don’t know… They seemed pretty irritated with me…”
“Well it can’t hurt to try.” the ghost says, turning to look for the mysterious person, but they’re already long gone.
Link sighs, “I suppose I’ll have to live with the ignorance.”
The ghost shrugs, “Oh well, what’s your name?”
“Link. Yours?”
“Acisha,” she responds, “Where are you headed?”
“No idea.”
“Maybe you can find someone else who knows what that person was trying to tell you.”
“Maybe.” Link says.
Acisha grins, “An adventure, sounds fun.”
“Huh?” Link goes to ask but Acisha is already shoving a small plant into their hand and tugging them off in a random direction.
