Chapter 2: House of a feeble old woman

It had been clear that Hareta chose to travel into the depths of the woods -- seeing on how she carefully placed her foot down for every step. The unsettling sent of a blunt floated around in the area, Hareta couldn't help but the just cover her nose.

"Where am I going, exactly? In fact, now that I think about it, how did I even end up here? I don't really think my brother could be somewhere in these woods, and it's too late to turn back and ask Charon for a cruise on his boat...."

Small drops of water began to decline, Hareta paid no attention to this, as she continued walking further and further down the road. The road was almost untouched, with vines sparling out on the sides of this brick road, and bushes and trees limped over as if they were looking down to watch this young girl, the sky seemed no existent, and the only source of light magically began to stem from the trees above. Rain began to be more relevant, as droplets of water came crashing down at a much more faster rate. Hareta would let out a fierce sneeze, wiping away what remained with her sleeve as she grunted -- things were not going her way. After looking around the perimeter for a bit, Hareta's eyes happened to find a small spot for her to hide under. It's a leaf, a leaf that towered over her as if she were some sort of Pikmin. Hareta would Sprint to this new area, crawling underneath the leaf and sitting there, with her knees up to her chin and her arms around her legs, as a sign escaped from the grasp of her lips.

"Sheesh. if I stay out here any longer, I might get sick...maybe I can build a little home in the ground. . ."

As Hareta would begin her digging expedition -- it was ultimately brought to an end by a soothing voice. The voice seemed to be someone singing, someone who was nearly breaking their falsetto voice, and into their high notes. The voice seemed very feminine, and drop into a lower pitch after the first seven words.

"Tracey died soon....after a long hard fought. . . civil war. Just as I....wiped away his....last tears. I guess he's at better than he was before. A whole lot better of.....than the fools he left behind. . ."

Hareta was intrigued by this enchanting voice -- She couldn't help but listen to it as a small smile cracked open on to her face, as she peeked her head out from under the leaf's shelter to see where the voice was coming from

"Hey, that's a song from the best artist of all time!"

Hareta would then look further beyond and find the source of the voice not too far from her right. The voice was coming from a woman with pitch black hair, and a black Kimono, while she had a black umbrella, gripped into her right hand, looking up at the rain pouring from the sky as if she was about to ask the question -- "Why?". Hareta would stand up, using her writing hands as drying hands on her head as she ran towards the woman, the woman almost jumped in shocked -- like she never seen anyone of her kind before.

"Hey, I heard your singing from underneath that leaf -- and you sound pretty good!"

"Thank you. . .I am a little embarrassed, I didn't think anyone was around. What are you doing out in a storm like this, young lady? Are you lost?

"As a matter of fact. . .I am. I don't know really know where to go anymore."

"I feel you. . .Come, I will take you to my home, where we will eat."

"Alright, let's get going then!"

The two females began walking through the bushes and circling around trees, and it didn't take very long before they reached The Woman's house. The house had what seemed to be two stories or an attic. There was smoke coming out of its Chimney, and it almost looks like a traditional Japanese home. Hareta would nod, she seemed to be impressed. The woman smiled, opening the doors and taking her shoes off near the entrance, as the Woman bent her hands towards herself, Hareta would soon take off her shoes in front of the entrance to this house, as she followed The Woman. The Woman would lead Hareta into what seems like her living room, with a TV and a classic Nintendo Entertainment System underneath it. There in that room were four children. They would all stop their previous actions to face the Woman and her new Acquaintance.

"Madam Iris! You're back!"

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"I did. . .we have a new temporary member of our lovely home. What is your name, dear?"

"Oh right, my name is Hareta. Hareta IDka. You can just call me Harte."

"Sweet, it's nice to meet too! My name is Ben, Ben Hyrule."

Ben spoke -- and he vastly different than the rest of the boys. The other boys -- one hat a and shorts the other had a jacket and jeans. Ben, however, wore a green tunic, and a green hat.

"Dinner is going to be ready soon, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!"
