It must have been ages since I was last here. But actually nothing had changed. Everything was still the same. Meanwhile the sun began to rise. Its warm, bright rays broke the tips of the cedar trees that surrounded the village. The wind didn't seem to have raged here. The whole area was still shrouded in a veil of mist. It floated above the ground and made it almost invisible. Only a few plants tall enough protruded through the carpet of mist. When the first rays of sun hit the small pond in front of which I was, it began to glow. It was like the twinkling of hundreds of stars on the crystal clear surface of the water. With the warm morning sun behind me, I flew slowly through the village.

Immediately to the right was a small shop that sold every imaginable thing. On the left was the house of the twins Mina and Tina. The two were known to hit on anything that wasn't in the trees at Three.Salia lived next door. She was pretty much the smartest in the village. Salia used to come to the pressure tree to talk to him often. Her house, like the others, was in an old tree. More precisely, in the stump that was left after the felling. The Kokiri were the only ones in the country authorized to cut trees in the forest. If someone wanted wood from the Lost Forests, he had to turn to the Kokiri. Since the Kokiri always remain the size of an eight-year-old child, they also need less space.

The term 'Kokiri children' is actually wrong. In reality, they are goblin-like beings that do not outwardly age due to the power of the pressure tree. So you shouldn't guess their age by their looks. Most of them are even older than the King of Hyrule. This may sound tempting at first, but it is also associated with a rule. A Kokiri must never leave the Lost Forests.And should he ever dare, he would be doomed to die. The moment he leaves the sacred realm of the pressure tree, he loses the magic that keeps him young forever. He would die an excruciating death. After all, it's an ancient body he's stuck in. Some Kokiri are already 200 or even 300 years old. And so old people there? s after all not. However, since the Kokiris never die? Outside world? have seen, they have no reason to ever leave the forest. This little people have lived here for thousands of years without ever knowing how beautiful the rest of the world is.

I went to Salia's hut. There were no doors here. The entrance to the huts was only covered with a curtain made of old palm leaves. Why not? They had no reason to close their huts. The Kokiri village was arguably the most peaceful place in the whole country. Just like the tree, the inside of the hut was also circular. The floor was made of old wooden boards.Probably nobody bought them. Such woods are then often used for such purposes. In the middle was an old, gray shepherd's rug made of knotted sheep's wool. He was round too. When you walked into the room, you saw a couple of jugs on the right. There was usually water or rice in them. Kokiris are not traders. You can do without rubies. When they sell something, they usually get food, tools, or clothes. However, should you ever get rubies, exchange them at the next best opportunity. Rubies are worthless to a kokiri. After all, what does someone who never leaves the forest want with rubies? Here in the village they are nothing but worthless stones. There was a bed at the other end of the room. Well, actually it was just a part of the tree stump that wasn't removed to the ground. There was just a simple, green cotton blanket. No pillow, no mattress, nothing like that.It must have been pretty uncomfortable lying there. In any case, I couldn't have slept there. But the Kokiri obviously didn't care. Everyone had a 'bet'? The ceiling was still lying around completely desolate. Apparently she had only just got up. But Salia was nowhere to be seen. Since the houses only consisted of one room, she couldn't be in the next room. But her clothes weren't there either. Did she have to leave very quickly for some reason? But if so, where to go?

Since I could not see it, I flew out again. It was a bit strange. It wasn't like her at all to act rashly. "Then I just have to look for him myself." I thought to myself. At that moment I heard a familiar voice. It was Salia. "Liiink! Liiink! Where are you?" She called. Link? That was the name of the boy I was looking for. The boy's without a fairy. I immediately followed Salia's voice. Was she looking for him too? To the left of her house it went into a kind of depression, in the middle of which there was an old, rotten tree.He was probably partly balded by the Kokiri and then mistreated. I found Salia there too. "Hello Salia. Long time not seen.", I called and flew around her neck with joy. "Hello Navi., She said; a little surprised by my presence." What brings you to us? ", she asked me. It didn't seem to really interest her. Apparently her thoughts were still with Link." I'm looking for Link. The pressure tree sends me. "As I called the name Link, she suddenly gave me her attention." Link? Do you know where he is? ", she punched me in a hasty voice." I'm just looking for him. I heard you call his name. I thought you might know where he is. " "Damn it! Where is he? Surely he must not have slept. Mido will tear it up in midair this time. Navi, come on. We have to go to his house. I hope he's there. "While she was finishing the sentence, she was already running in the direction of the old tree.Completely confused and with no real idea what this is about, I just flew after Salia. What else should I have done? Apparently she knew where Link was.

She stopped in front of a ladder. A ladder? What was a ladder doing here? She stood in front of the old tree. However, it protruded straight up. It didn't seem to be leaning against anywhere. A quick look up, however, revealed her secret. The ladder led to a wooden plate attached to the tree. It looked like a balcony. Moss had already settled on its underside. Salia was about to climb the rickety ladder when a loud voice echoed through the village: "Liiink? You damn asshole. Where are you?" It was the voice of Mido walking around here. He was the head of the Kokiri. "Come out and show yourself. This time I'll drag you over the sacred border with my own hands. Come out and show yourself, you bastard." Oha! Mido had got up wrong foot first again.I always found it kind of funny when he tried to play the big man. In reality, Mido could not harm a fly. Salia, however, winced when she heard his call. She took the foot she already had on the rotten ladder back down and turned around. Her face was marked with a look of fear. "Oh no. Mido is awake. Now everything is over. Navi! Go to Link and tell him to hide in the forest until Mido has calmed down. He lives up there. I'll hold Mido up while I am," she said hastily, while their eyes were already scanning the village towards Mido. "How now? What did he do that Mido is so mad at him?" I wanted to know from her. "Later!" Was her only answer. Then she ran. Fully fixated on her cause, she almost ran me over. I was just about to shout something after her when she stopped. She turned to me and looked at me with pleading eyes."Help him. He is special." For a moment we stood in silence. Then she started moving again. Something special? Salia called Link something special? She didn't even speak of Mido like that. What was it about this boy that first the pressure tree and now Salia were so interested in him?

Definitely lost from any perspective, I flew up the ladder. Maybe I should understand when I'm with him. Step by step, I came closer and closer to my goal. Once at the top, I found that it was actually a balcony. However, just like on the underside, it was completely rotten. In some places you could already see that the wood would give way immediately if someone walked there. However, you had to cross this death trap if you wanted to get to the entrance or back. Well, bad luck for the others. I just flew over it. Why was the hut built in a tall tree in the first place?Usually the trees are first cut down to the stump. The only thing missing here was the branches. But whatever. I didn't have time to deal with it. I flew into the hut full of anticipation.
