Mi Shen sits silently in the graveyard, watching from his normal post on the fence for the poes which appear from restless spirits of Herule. As he peers towards the height of the graveyard, he sees one appear above the royal tome. He leaps into action, grabbing his metal staff and heading towards it.
Well. Things don’t always work out as they should.
He lifts his staff over his head and...
Stares blankly, blinking rapidly as a brilliant light fills his vision from some place above him. He falls backwards from the weight of his staff (and sheer panic) to the tombstone behind him. As the light clears, a girl is sitting on the top of a now KO’d poe.
Mi Shen walks over to the girl and pokes her with his staff. “It’s real... weird...”
“Of course I’m real! I’m alive too, y’know! Read the script!”
He looked at her as if to say, “what the f*ck?” turning his head to the side, he noticed the ears on the side of her head. “You ... you have freaky ears like me too!”
“Hey! Who you callin’ ‘freaky’! These aren’t even my real ears!” She lifted up her dark green hair to show that she had normal rounded ears, and to show that the pointed black objects were just hair clips.
Mi Shen came to his senses as Dampe stumbled up. “Boy! What are you doing? You’re supposed to be on lookout for poes!”
Mi Shen sighed, “I’ve worked for you for 5 years now .. can’t you call me by my name? And in case you forgot ... it’s 'Mi Shen'!”
“Whoa... creepy! My Name’s Mi Tu!”
Mi Shen stared at Mi for a moment before jumping to hug her, shouting, “Finally! Someone understands!”
Dampe just stares on in his hunch-backed way.

It’s a peaceful day in Zora-dom. All the Zoras are enjoying the sunshine, or lack thereof.
Corqren and Princess Ruto are swimming in the pond of Jabu Jabu; enjoying the day and catching fish. As Ruto dives down towards the bottom, Corqren stays up top for a moment. Just as he is about to dive as well he notices a bright light in the sky. As he shields his eyes he forgets to kick harder and ends up falling into the water by accident. As he comes up again he notices a girl falling, and then notices she doesn’t come up.
“Oh!” he dives down to get the obviously drowning girl. The whole while he’s thinking, “Man. Glad I trained, or I’d never get her up. She’s so heavy!”
He notices the bow and crossbow she carries, and releases them to lighten the load; they practically rocket to the surface after that, and Corqren gasps for air on the surface.
He drags her to the shallow section of the pool and pokes her stomach to have the fountain effect. He notices Ruto comes up with a particularly nasty bump and glare. He chuckles nervously, and dives back down to retrieve the girl’s bows.
Corqren comes up to the surface again, swimming lop-sidedly because of his attempt to drag the bows towards the land.
Corqren whines to Ruto, “Can you help me?” These things weigh a ton!”
Ruto rubs her head and growls, “I already know that!”
“Oh ... heh ... sorry.” He successfully hauls the bows next to the girls.
Mai looks up towards the fish and boy, staring blankly-without a clue.
“So, this isn’t Kansas. If this is Oz, then You’re a munchkin.” she points to Corqren, “and you must be the wicked witch of the west!” She points to Ruto.
Ruto nearly growls towards Mai, and then pinches her, “Happy?” she snarls, “This isn’t a dream!”
“Ow ... okay ...” Mai says as she rubs the now red part of her cheek.
Corqren helps Mai sit up and smacks her back, causing more water to be expelled.
Mai gags a little, and smiles up at Corqren, saying, “Thanks” sarcastically.

“I’m gonna get you Hot Rod!” Ax yelled as he chased the humongous Goron, brandishing his axe. Ax almost caught the Goron as a bright light flashed above him. Ax crashed to the ground as someone landed on him.
“No! No Goron piles on little brother!!!” He yelled.
“Goron?” a voice above him said in a confused way.
Ax flipped whoever it was off of him and held onto his axe with both hands. “Who are you?!” He slashed at the air to show his point that wouldn’t be messed with.
The girl looked up at Ax calmly. She was blinking kind of rapidly, in a way that meant she was very out of it. She turned her head slowly from side to side, assimilating the scene around her.
Ax looked at the ears on her head and pulled them out (along with the headband they were attached to). Ax let out a yelp and dropped them.
“Hey!” The girl let out a loud yell at the mistreatment of her headband. As she lunged towards them Ax kicked them over the side down to the lower levels. She glared back up towards him, and a vengeful smile appeared upon her face. Light swirled around her like ghosts and then flowed within the span of a split-second into Ax.
As she turned around, a frozen-in-place-Ax was there for all to see.
Hot Rod Goron decided to come out of his curl and picked Ax up. “Little Brother? You OK?” he adjusted Ax so that he stood stick straight. Ax glared the best he could at the humongous Goron as he was put on the ground standing.
The girl leaned slightly and began to giggle in a way to make others question her sanity. The Gorons were obviously questioning this themselves. And with that same expression, she hopped down a few levels to pick up her headband outside Darumia’s chamber. She picked it up and set it back in place with a little “huff” of satisfaction.
Darumia ran out and pointed to the girl. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Hot Rod jumped down and made everyone on the floor bounce. “Big Brother! She did something to Little Brother!”
Ax, now able to make facial expressions again, glared at the girl.
“What have you done to him?” Darumia asked calmly.
“He’s only been stilled. It’s an ultra violet wave impul-” She stopped mid-sentence when she figured they wouldn’t have any clue what she was saying.
They simply looked at her, speechless, and Ax probably had the stupidest look of all.
“This is gonna take a while.” Yu rubbed her temples slowly.

Makera walked slowly over the bridge leading from the Kokiri woods. She knew what she had to do now, and was set on her goal. As she thought, she heard a yell from behind her. She turned around to be nearly bowled over the side of the bridge by Link. She was hanging on only by the ropes, and the bridge was tipped perilously to one side.
Link yelled back “See yah later, sucker!”
Makera grimaced at her situation. She didn’t particularly want to waste time heading through the lost woods again. She slowly crawled up the ropes and balanced herself again on the bridge.
“Damn him!” Makera yelled.
Makera ran towards Hyrule in a furious mood because of Link.
“I’m going to pay him back for that!” Makera said in a silent yet pissed voice.
