Link looked at Death Mountain from outside of the castle.

"She wants us to go WHERE?" yelled Rekhyt in a rage.

"She saaaiiid," here he adopted a deep voice, " 'You must go to Dea--" he was cut off by Rekhyt.

"I know where we're supposed to go! I mean... WHY? Why do we have to go to a place called, 'Death Mountain?'"

"Welllllll... you are the one who said we must save Hyrule from total destruction." he looked at his fairy and started twards Kakariko Village.

"I did not say that." the red fairy yelled, flying in a frenzy, "The Great Deku Tree did. So there! Pthhhhhhht!"

"Yes, that is true." Link replied slowly, "But you are the one who said, 'We have to do what the Great Deku Tree says?"

"Ugh! Fine! Let's just go and get ourselves killed..."

"Glad ya' see it my way!" said Link smugly, and laughing to himself as he made his way to Kakariko Village.

He made his way across the bridge and over to the stairs. Beside the stairs was a sign. It read: Kakariko Village up ahead! Enjoy! Link laughed and went up the stairs and in to Kakariko Village.

When he entered the village, he heard Rekhyt talking to him, "Why are you listening to that girl? Huh?"

"Which one?" asked Link with genuine confusion, "The princess or Miss. 'Tall, dark, and scary'?"

"Tall, dark, and scary."

Link ignored him. He was worn out. Not only from the guards, but from Rekhyt. Link was looking around confused.

'Ooooookay.' he thought, 'What to do. What to do. What to-' he stopped, "A CHICKEN!"

He was right, there was a chicken in front of them. Link was looking at it with joy.

"I love cuckoos! They're sooo cute and fluffy!" Link went over to the cuckoo and picked it up. The chicken snapped at him. "AHHHHHHHH!" yelled Link in a panic. He held the bird in front of him for the chicken was trying to peck him to death.

"Hey Link!" yelled Rekhyt, Link looked at him. It was as if his eyes were saying, 'What do you want? Tell me for crap's sake.' Rekhyt continued, "Maybe you should go around town and see if anyone wants it..." he trailed off. Link nodded at him.

Holding the wild cuckoo at arms lenghth, he ran around town trying to find someone who would take the feathered creature. Then after about ten minutes he saw a lady, she looked worried about something, then Link saw a pen. Link walked over to the lady.

"Excuse me ma'am," he said, she looked at him and saw the cuckoo he was holding, "does this," he held up the chicken, "uh, belong to you?" the lady nodded.

"Um... could you please put it in the pen? I have allergies so I get goose-bumpes if I tuch them. I hate to ask you this... but could you please, please, please round up all of them for me?"

Link just couldn't refuse. He nodded. He then spent the next fifteen minutes running around town. He looked high and low. When he returned with the last one, he was out of breath.

"H...here ya' g...go ma'am." he panted and gasped for breath.

"Thank you! Thank you, well as I promised, here is your reward.."

She handed him a bottle made out of pure glass. Link said 'thanks' and took the glass. He then wandered around for a couple of hours. He had NO clear idea on what he was to do next. He saw a path leading out of town. A man shouted a warning at him, but he hardly heard it over the noise of the town. He continued down the path anyway. The sky was all of a sudden dark. Link looked up, the clouds were covering the sky.

"Whoa! What happened to the sun? Where did it go?" asked Rekhyt.

"The clouds are covering it up, idiot." Link snapped back.

The Graveyard was creeping him out. He shivered. Link scanned the Graveyard as if he was expecting a ghost to appear out of thin air. Rekhyt was looking around too. Then he saw a big tombstone at the back of the Graveyard. The fairy thought it looked suspicious. He tried to get Link's attention but he was looking at a wierd man holding a lanturn.

"Hey Link." Rekhyt whispered, Link looked at him, "Look at the back of the Graveyard... doesn't that stone over there seem a little odd to you?"

Link looked at the stone, his annoying fairy was right! Just then an idea sruck the young boy and he moved forward. He tried as best as he could to avoid the scary looking man.

Link was almost there when a slow and cracked voice reached him, "Hey, boy. What are you doing in the gravesite?"

Link froze and gulped.

He turned, "Um.. uh... I was just checking things out. Y'know... I'm new here." Link smiled weakly, "Um, just asking... but... um what's your name?" the gravekeeper just looked at him.

"My name is Dampe', and yours?"

Link stood as tall as he could and replied, "My name is Link... now may I go?" Dampe' just nodded.

Link turned and automaticlly, without thinking... pulled out his ocarina and played Zelda's Lullaby. Just then the sky got darker and it started to rain. A bolt of lightning struck and Link flew back. A hole was under the stone. Link jumped down.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw scared him out of his skin. What looked like dead people were standing all around. They were moaning. Link then learned from a reluctant Rekhyt that they were known as, Re-Deads. He gulped, took a breath and... ran. He didn't even look where he was runing but his feet were burning, he looked down. Acid. He was runing through acid. He ran until he was at the back of the room. He panted.

He saw another tombstone and on it was an inscription. It read: The Sun's Song. Once used, you can turn it from night to day and vice-versa. Use it to put restless souls to rest. Under the inscription, was a song. Link pulled out his ocarina and copied the notes.

'I wonder if it did anything.'

Rekhyt yelled at Link, "Hey! The Re-Deads are frozen! We can get by them without going through the acid! You'd better hurry though!"

Link nodded and put his ocarina away and ran out of the tomb.

When he got back in to Kaka Village he shook his head. 'What just happened? Ohhhh yeah! I got the Sun's Song.' He walked over to the entrance to Death Mountain. A guard was there. 'Ohhh, that's just great! Wait! Zelda gave me this letter.He showed the letter to the guard.

"Hahahahahah! Hey kid, if you will give me a mask, I will give you a shield. Okay?"

But Link had other plans. He bribed the guard with, "I'll get you five masks if you just give me the shield." the guard said yes.

Link was now fully equipped. He headed up the trail to Death Mountain.
