Especially if you happen to be a young filly “Jay.. Jay the fairy, Come hither, It is time, for the filly without a fairy to begin her journey. Go now Jay, Bring this filly here, as quick as possible” A deep red fairy with a black pair of wings, shot through the forest at speeds that outsiders might never thought possible, knowing the exact location of this young filly, he speeds towards her hut, slightly higher than the rest, this gave the young filly lots of privacy from the bully Gilda, who always teases her for not having a fairy. Being the only Kokiri in the forest that could use her wings(she could only slow her falls. which helps, but not as much as actually flying), She has a lot of privacy from Gilda. Griffon or not, Gilda can not use her wings, she is not strong enough to lift herself from the ground. And since the Kokiri do not age, Gilda will probably never fly. The red fairy burst through the open window, almost dislodging the curtains from their place. “Hey! You! Get up already!” “EEEP!” Fluttershy squeals as she falls out of bed in surprise Fluttershy peeks up over the bed to meet eyes with the red fairy that had just interrupted her slumber. She quickly covers herself with her sheets “O.K... Anyway, the Great Apple Tree requested your presence urgently” he said, still recoiling from the rather awkward entrance. “Oh my! The Great Apple Tree wants to see ME!?” she stood up all the way to meet eyes with the fairy. “That is what I said wasn’t it?” The fairy’s tone conveying his lack of desire to be here. “Y-yes, of course it was” she brought her eyes back down to her hooves, thinking she had offended the fairy in some way. “What is your name anyways? The Great Apple Tree never told me your name.” “Umm. My name is Fluttershy” she mumbles her words, obviously shy to this new fairy. “I’m sorry I didn't quite catch that, what was it?” The fairy put on a fake grin, however unconvincing it is. “my name is Fluttershy” She is still mumbling her words, but this time the fairy heard her properly. “Alright Fluttershy, let’s go to the Great Apple Tree!” “C-could you... Umm...” Fluttershy blushes under her covers while motioning towards the door “what? Oh! Yes, yes of course!” The red fairy darts out the door as quick as he came in. Fluttershy emerges from her house moments later wearing a green tunic (with holes for her wings),a conical hood over the top of her hair with holes for the ears, a leather belt with pouch full of seeds and four brown boots on her hooves, and a shy smile on her face. She Floats down to the ground and heads towards the section of the forest where the Great Apple Tree resides. All of a sudden, WHOOSH! “NOT SO FAST Fairy-less Fluttershy!” Gilda said in a mocking tone. “You don't even have a sword or a shield, why do you think you’re good enough to see the Great Apple Tree?” “Oh it’s ok I don't have to come past ill just walk away...” Fluttershy slowly trots away with her head hung. DINGDINGDINGDING Fluttershy stops in surprise as Jay makes alarming noises “Hey Fluttershy. You can’t just let that bully push you around! Stand up for yourself!” “Oh i couldn't possibly do that. I don't like raising my voice...” Fluttershy softly said to Jay, as if he is a small animal. “Well then we need to find a sword and a shield! The Great Apple Tree summoned you and it sounded very important. We should go look for a sword and shield so Gilda will let us pass.” “Umm.. Ok.. if it’s alright with everyone else, I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience.” Jay just rolls his eyes. “Hey Fluttershy, check out this over here!” Jay floats around a hole in the wall, roughly just larger then the filly herself. She looks around the hole and hesitates. Suddenly a smooth wave came over her and she felt calmer then before. She knelt down and crawls through the hole, on the other side is a boulder rolling around, but strangely, she didn't feel any sort of fear like she did before. Her eyes narrow and concentrate on the boulder’s rolling, she then ran straight past the deadly rock. Fluttershy’s heart stopped pounding violently; in front of her is a chest almost twice her size. Her brain told her not to open it, in fear of what is inside. But her heart told her different, what could possibly be in the chest that it couldn't get out itself? It’s not even locked. She bucks the wooden chest; it swings open and releases a blinding light. She reaches in with her hooves and pulls out a sword, that’s exactly what she needs! She fiddles around with it, and it fits almost perfectly into the cleft of her hoof (the indent) and swings it around with her hoof, it feels wrong, having a weapon in her hand, but in another sense.. It feels right, like she was born to do this. She searches around in the chest a little more and found a hilt for the sword, which she places onto her front left shoulder blade to easily reach it. Fluttershy sheathes her weapon, evades the rock and escapes the hole. Fluttershy decides to practise with the weapon on some tall grass, and while cutting the grass, she found some rupees that someone must have accidentally dropped in there. She picks them up and stuffs them in her wallet. Knowing the store has deku shields in stock, she decides that saving up enough rupees would be the best option. A few minutes of exploring for rupees later, and they reach the store with around 53 rupees. Fluttershy wanders into the store and emerges a few minutes later with a brand new deku shield, then places it on her back, because that's usually her most vulnerable place. After her purchase she returns home to grab her pair of saddlebags that were in her storage. Fluttershy returns to Gilda, still guarding the entrance to the grotto where the Great Apple Tree resides. “Stop right there, Fairy-less Fluttershy” she kept the same mocking tone as she had earlier in the day. “I’m not letting you through until you get a sword and shield” Anger came over Fluttershy, it’s like something she never felt before. Her eyes glowing white, her voice becoming large and boomed throughout the forest. “GILDA! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!” She shouts, yet still keeping her own repertoire of words. She pulls her sword from its sheath and her shield from her back. She stands on two legs, everyone around her gasping in surprise as she places the cold steel of the sword against Gilda’s neck, and spoke once more “IF YOU DO NOT MOVE, I WILL MOVE YOU MYSELF!” Gilda, not used to being threatened, hesitates. Fluttershy makes several quick slashes with her sword, and in one last swift motion, All of Gilda’s white feathers and brown fur fall off. Fluttershy calms down and returns to her normal self, her pupils return, her weapon sheathed. A smile once again across her face, “Now if you don't mind Gilda, I think I’d like to see the Great Apple Tree now.” she said with a cheer. Gilda, embarrassed that she is now naked in front of everyone, sprints back to her home in a quick bolt of energy. Fluttershy finally came to the Great Apple Tree. It took her a lot of the day, and cost Gilda her pride (Fluttershy wouldn't admit it, but she enjoyed every minute of it) She had never been to the Great Apple Tree before, but something about it seems familiar, she just couldn't put her hoof on it.. “Fluttershy, I welcome ye.. Jay, thank you for escorting her here.” “Umm. Excuse me Mr. Great Apple Tree sir. is there a reason you called me here? Because it seemed quite urgent and I’d hate to waste your time..” “It is of no waste of time Fluttershy, an evil witch cast this curse upon me. It is up to you, to break this curse, I am counting on you. And Jay, Accompany Fluttershy in her quest, and do not fail.” And in one slow but steady motion, the Great Apple Tree’s mouth opens like a door. Fluttershy and Jay enter the tree, and what they saw is a great surprise to both of them. The inside of the Great Apple Tree is all dark and gloomy, with spiderwebs everywhere. Everything seems... Dead... Fluttershy found some vines to climb, but she has hooves, not hands. After looking around the ground floor, she found two metal implements sticking out from some small bushes. One end is bent, with a hook on the bend. Giving her a makeshift claw. The other is rounded with a screw, so it could be attached to something. The idea hit Fluttershy like a deku nut. She tightens the metal objects around her knees until the hooks were firmly attached on both sides. She then places her hoof against the vines and pulls down, the claw hooked perfectly into the vines. She then proceeded to almost ‘walk’ up the wall. Once she reaches the top, she realises how far she had climbed, and almost fell off. Had it not been for her wings to keep her stable, she would have fallen off. She unhooks the claws and places them in her saddlebags. After a few feet, Fluttershy comes across a door, inside is a floating platform, and a chest on the other side. She jumps onto the platform and across to the chest. Hearing a rumbling behind her, she turns to see the platform collapse behind her. Realising the predicament that she’s in, she decides to open the chest. Revealing a slingshot. “What could i possibly do with a slingshot?” Fluttershy asks to herself. Suddenly, Jay comes out from underneath her hat and hovers over to a ladder, hidden by cobwebs. ”Over here you moron” “I’m not a moron” Fluttershy aims her new-found slingshot and fires at the ladder, resulting in a perfect hit. The ladder drops down like a sack of nails. Fluttershy puts the hooks back on and clambers up the rungs. Once outside of the room she was previously in, she sees a big wall with lots of notches in the side, like she has to climb it. But it has skulltulas on it, something she would rather avoid. She then remembers she is holding a slingshot, she pulls out a few seeds from her pouch and fires them at the skulltulas, she cringes as she hears them cry out, then hit the floor. She prefers to think of herself as a pacifist, but now, when something so important needs her help, she couldn't just stand around and do nothing. She has to help the Great Apple Tree, no matter how many spiders she had to kill. She reaches the top of the tower and peers town into the abyss below. The only thing she can see is a small circle with spider web in it. Maybe if she tried to rip it from a height? And she jumps. using her filly Pegasus wings she is able to gain a little bit more speed than usual, it isn't much, but it does let her pierce the thick web that was covering the hole. She lands in a puddle of water, then crawls to the closest piece of dry land she can find. When she dries off, Fluttershy, using her wings as a small boost, hops onto a slightly higher ledge, which seems to have a longer way around(Cheating of course. But shes a pony, so she can do it.) She grabs a deku stick and lifts it up to one of the flames, and once more burnt through a thick web covering a hole in the floor. She then jumps down. Landing once more in water, she wades to the edge, only to be greeted by 3 deku scrubs shooting at her. Before, she had talked to a deku scrub which had mention the numbers “2-3-1” should be used to beat his brothers(after a small ‘talk’ with the scrub). Fluttershy pulls out her shield and aims it at the middle scrub, upon contact with it’s own shot, it turns blue and froze. This repeats itself on the second one, but not the third one, which opens the door for Fluttershy. Then all three deku scrubs return to their former underground positions on the floor. Fluttershy walks through the ominous looking door, only to find it slam shut with no exit behind her. She hears a strange scuttling coming from the roof, Fluttershy looks up, and screams inside. There, on the ceiling, is a huge insect creature with a large eyeball, it swivels in its socket (making Fluttershy cringe) and then drops to the floor. Queen Gohma Parasitic Armoured Arachnid Fluttershy stares at Queen Gohma as she scuttles around the room, and watches as it climbs onto the roof and begins to lay her eggs. In one quick swoop, she instinctively pulls out her slingshot and shoots Queen Gohma straight in the eyeball. There is a huge crash as Queen Gohma falls to the floor. Stunned, her eye turns a flashy green and swivels around erratically. Fluttershy takes advantage of this and runs towards her, using her sword as a pole vault, she spins in the air and stabs Queen Gohma hard enough for her screams to be heard for miles around, had they not been inside a giant tree. Queen Gohma takes a few swipes at her enemy, with Fluttershy dodging and blocking every hit she tries to land. Fluttershy throws several deku nuts at Queen Gohma, stunning her for a few seconds, allowing Fluttershy to mutilate the only weak point on the arachnid. Minutes pass, with Queen Gohma revealing her only weak-spot even less then before. Eventually, she falls on the ground, unable to move any more, Fluttery trots up to deliver the coupe’ de’ grace to the opponent.. Blue light fills the room, a crystal heart replacing the dead queen, spinning in place. Fluttershy collects the heart and steps into a blue circle of light that appeared nearby. Fluttershy is picked up by the blue light in a crystal, and lowered just outside of the Great Apple Tree. “Fluttershy, although you were successful in ridding this curse, i was doomed before you started..” “So.. Did I um.. Do that for nothing?” Anger starting to raise in her tone “The witch who cursed me, she wanted... This... The object worth so much that she placed a horrid curse upon me.” Green light starts glowing in front of Fluttershy, as an emerald gem in the shape of an apple with gold around the sides forms in front of her. “This.. Jewel... Gather.. The... Other... Two.... Meet.... Princess... Twilight...” “But Great Apple Tree! You cant be... Can you?” A red fairy asks “Protect... Fluttershy.... Jay..... I... Entreat..... Ye.........” The ground around them turns grey as the Great Apple Tree dies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of Chapter one, Written by Remsaman.
