They entered the shack and found a small tourist attraction center. There was an exceptionally large man standing behind a counter who appeared to be the head of the whole place. He looked at them and said "If you are here for the swamp boat cruise, you should talk to Koume over there" pointing to a small booth in the corner of the shack. They looked back at him, then the woman, Koume, standing at the booth. She had green skin, a large pointed nose, and red bulging eyes. Lucina looked at the booth and found a sign that read "Koume's swamp boat cruise: get a great tour of the swamp and a trip to the Deku palace for a good price. Ring the bell for service!". Link found a small, silver desk bell next to the booth and ringed it. Then, the sleeping Koume woke up and hollered "Wha! Who goes there!". She looked at the two people standing before her and said in a grandma-esque tone "Oh, hi there youngsters, you must be here for the boat tour, right?" and nodded her green head. "Actually, yes! How much does it cost?" Lucina asked. "10 rupees per person, unless you want a rental pictograph box, then its 20".

Lucina looked curiously at the woman, then back at Link and mouthed "rupees?" .Link then had a face of remembrance, then pull out a small pouch, and he drew out 4 blue jewel-like pieces of currency which he placed on the counter. "Okay then, thank you, young man... Right this way..." Koume said, coming out of her little booth, leading them to a small boat underneath the shack.

As they were led out of the shack, Tatl said sorrowfully "...she forget to count me in this..."

"Be quiet, Tatl, they're giving you a free ride" Link said to the fairy harshly.

"Okay, everyone. Stay in the boat at all times and enjoy the swamps scenery to your hearts content" they heard Koume say.They got on the boat and took a good look at the swamp for the first time. There was a large selection of flora sprouting from the water, and there appeared to be a large volcano overflowing with purple swamp water. As they were about to enter the second half of the swamp, they came across a big squid like monster blocking the archway leading to their destination. They could hear Koume's voice from the controls say "and if you look ahead of us, you can see a rowdy big octo in our way. Let's just, ahem... get it out of the way then" , and then the boat produced two giant bull like horns and punctured the octo, killing it on the spot. After seeing some more unusual plants, they came across a little dock situated next to a large wooden fence. Koume stopped the boat at the dock, "Okay, the deku palace is up ahead. Be careful, though, the swamp water here is highly poisonous" she told them. "We'll stop here" Lucina said to her, helping Link and Tatl off the boat while avoiding the water, remembering Koume's warning. Once they got off, the boat sped off, heading towards the shack. The first thing to greet them at the dock was an albino monkey. It looked at the newcomers and said "Oh, you must help me. My brother has been kidnapped by dekus. have him trapped in cage, you must see for yourself" with very choppy grammar. He then pranced through the fence gate. "Well, we might as well go, the owl did say something about a deku palace, didn't he?" Tatl said to her partners. Lucina and Link shrugged and went towards the entrance, but Lucina thrust her arm in front of Link, blocking his path. "I hear something, be ready" and she drew out Falchion, Link responding by getting out his sword and shield. As they entered through the gate, they heard a man's voice yell out "how dare you, heartless wooden cretins!". They saw that this man had shaggy black hair, wore yellow-green clothing, and had a steel sword in hand. There were two deku scrubs blocking his way towards a large artlike fortress, most likely the deku palace. "Why do you dare to block the passage of a scion of legends! The wolf who howls for justice! The blade that can cut through a thousand souls! The man who has felt the gears of time themselves turn backwards so he may race swiftly forward in the history books!!! The..." this oddball man exclaimed, but gets cut off by one of the dekus. "The man who won't shut up and listen to reason, because he can't seem to get his head out of his ass long enough to realize that this palace is for Deku royalty only!" the deku, quite possibly a soldier, said to the man as the other soldier sniggered a bit. "We are only allowing commoners of the dekus to come inside our walls to see the foolish monkey who dared to make a joke of our king, Kikorai. However, you are neither a deku NOR royalty" the guard finishes. "NOT ROYALTY!" the man fumed, "I will have you know that I swear upon the spirit of my dead mother, Lissa duchess of Ylisse, that I am practically as close to royalty as you will ever see, even that dreaded king of yours, hiding away in his beehive of indignity, not truly looking his opponent in the eye!". Now it was the guards turn to go manic.

"OK, THAT DOES IT, YOU FOOL! FIRST THE MONKEY, AND NOW YOU"

"How could you possibly compare me to a chimp without a sense of pride! You can't believe that I, the great and legendary Owain, has made just as much significance to history and legend as a MONKEY!!!"

"Don't make me request the king to torture YOU as well!"

"Ha ha, like you can torture a hero whose deeds have ringed true through tales of old, like echoes in the canyons of Plegia that never silence. And another thing, do you not know that we had this same exact conversation three days ago!"

"Okay, that is IT! You, go get Kikorai's butler to order another cauldron for this one, perhaps a slightly bigger one!" the guard demanded. "And request some backup, too! This one's a troublemaker!"

Lucina squints her eyes at the man

"... Owain!!!???"
