"Servants of the Forest indeed!" says Link, breaking the silence.
"Servants? Who orders them?" I reply.
"Nobody does, the forest owns them. The forest owns it's inhabitants. I mean, the dekus own the forest but... I don't think they should. Not that I'd mess with the dekus though! You'd have to be mad!" Says Link, a little scared.
"What's so bad about these... dekos?" I ask.
"What's so bad? What's so bad he says. What's so bad is they like to fire deku nuts at you 'till you look like them! Ehhhhh. Doesn't take a genius to work out you're not from around here... Next you'll say you don't know what a deku nut is!" I look at Link and he looks back at me. I raise my eyebrows and tilt my head down a little as if to instruct Link to explain what a deku nut is. "A small nut that explodes on impact!"
I nod in understanding. "Anyway, now the river's running we can get to drink some water.".

From this I managed to piece together that sleeping was a bad move. I wake up and, without moving, spot a large shadow in the sky in the shape of some winged giant. About 5 seconds later, I hear "Hey! Listen! dragon in the sky, Link!" Tatl was alarming Link, glowing brightly and making noise as she did so. The dragon began to descend at an worrying rate.
