Sage of the Forest


Saria sat still in her chair in Kokiri as the early morning started to make it visible. A gentle breeze floated through her window bringing with it all the forest in it. The morning bird song, the scent of growing spring-flowers, the silence of the Lost Woods and the heat of a new day's sun.

Saria just sat there, quiet and took it all in. It felt like an eternity since she last had felt likethis. The day was a normal spring day for the Kokiri but, this one felt different in some sort of way. She couldn't help for it, but...something was not right. That thought was fast chased out of her head as a Kokiri ran into her house.

"Saria! " he shouted, in utter panic. "Something terrible is happening! Come quick! "Saria rose up on her feet and followed the Kokiri out. What was happening? Was something wrong? It had to be! As she stepped out, she could feel it.

A scent...like it carried death, pain and utter despair. A frightening sound...like something that was made to take lives, destroy spirits and bring...death. It was the sound of death. The sickening sound of something cutting threads of life followed by the thump of the victim falling to the ground.

The smell... A sickening, nausea smell of departing lives and the bringing of death. "This way!" the Kokiri said and led her to the entrance to the Deku Tree's meadow. There! Saria gasped in shock as she understood what she saw.

Kokiri's were laying spread out over the grass, dead! Their heads were ripped off, chest slashed, legs and arms spread in horrible positions and in the middle of it all, a strange person stood.

His clothes...they were like the kokiri. In the special shade of green. Two things were a bit strange. It seemed like the person was carrying a long...sword! This was the person who had killed the Kokiri! But there was another thing. A strange thing was placed on his back. She couldn't see what it was. She enclosed a bit, but then the person turned around.

The face...the face of the hero. The golden strands of hair, the eyes which was determined to do his job. It was...

"Link! " Saria shouted. And him it was. But...there was something not right... The face...he was grinning like a mad-man and his eyes burned with a mad light.

Then she noticed the ting that was sticking out of the chest. And Saria understood the strange thing...it was a huge sword! It pierced Link's chest, made its way through his body and pointed out back. He should be dead!

But, he wasn't dead. In fact, he was moving. His sword was still raised as he had seen something he needed to get rid off. Then Saria screamed as she noticed...he was coming straight for her!

She turned around to run, but her feet wouldn't move. He approached her and raised the sword and...

In the Chamber of the Sages, Saria, the sage of the Forest Temple woke up. She was drenched in her own sweat. It had only been a nightmare...only a nightmare...she kept repeating this thought as she fell asleep again.


RR, people.
