Zelda
'I come Link Hero of Time and Worlds!' A voice whispered faintly into the air. Link jumped up in bed gasping. The dream, it was horrid, falling, just falling.
"Navi!" Link called into the dark room.
A light suddenly sparked, "Yes?"
"Do you sense anything?" He asked picking up his sword.
"No, go to sleep." Navi hissed.
Link didn't like the feeling he was having, that sense that something was amiss, violated, or even controlled. He just couldn't place the feeling.
-
'LINK! LINK COME TO ME!' Came Zelda's telepathic shout.
He hurled himself out of bed and reached for his sword. It was gone. "NAVI! Where's my sword."
'I have the sword Link, please just come.' Said a tired sounding Zelda.
"I'm coming." He said softly as he made his way out of the tree house and down the ladder. It was kind of the Kokiri to make his tree house bigger for him and to let him stay there even as a grown Hyrulian.
He stomped lightly on the grass trying not waking any of the children.
He was at the bridge to entrance when a moan caught his ear. He looked over the rope railing to see Saria laying face first in the grass.
"Saria!" Link shouted jumping down into the pit. He stumbled over to his old Sage friend. It was impossible for her to pass out of the forest through the great hallow trunk, being this close to the door out of her realm left her weak.
'Why is she here so close to the door?' He thought taking the girl up into his arms.
"Link... I need to go to the Realm... of the Sages." She uttered passing out.
'I can't take her! She can't leave here unless she has someone to draw one. She is too weak as it is to go. How did she get like this?' He thought quietly as he made his way back to the bridge.
'Link... hurry!' Zelda begged.
"Please Zelda! I need to help Saria first, it won't do any good to have one of the Sages die." He hissed trying to contain his anger.
At twenty-five, he knew Zelda was smart and wise, holding the Triforce of Wisdom and all. Yet, now he knew that she wasn't always right! In fact, her being so wise made her choices often wrong. She knew legends, history, and power that no one else knew about. Her living and acting right in the real world lacked, she just couldn't do it.
That is why she would always be Princess Zelda. Her father gave the throne to her sister. Princess Emerald, born fifteen days after Zelda's tenth birthday. Zelda's perfect image was already scared. Her sister at the age of ten mastered all the skills Zelda took seventeen years to master, but she doesn't have Zelda's grand knowledge, which makes her the perfect future Queen.
'Link... take the girl to the Forest Temple... I will bring her to me. Just get her there...' Princess Ruto's voice called out.
"Certainly love." He said softly clutching Saria close. He needed to play the music that would take him to the temple.
He was swept away with Saria in his arms to the front of the sacred temple. "We're here darling, wake up." He said shaking Saria who should have been re-empowered with her temple's aura. She did not move.
He shook her hard. She did not show any signs of life. Laying her down on the Triforce platform a giant bubble of water engulfed her.
When the bubble shattered she was gone. "Ruto, love, take me there too."
'Certainly Link. Anything for you.' She whispered in his mind.
He stood on the platform and was to taken to the Chamber of Sages. He knew each person saw the Chamber differently. That is why the Sages would call it the Realm and anyone that visited would call it the Chamber. Link, himself, asked one time why Ruto would reach out and pet the air, she asked him why he did not see the fishes.
Siting on the centerpiece of the Chamber he looked at the other Five Sages. Leader Raru, Leader Nabooru, Impa, Princess Ruto, and Leader Darunia.
Nabooru could soon no longer appear among her kind, for she was now forty odd years and had not aged since she was twenty. The Gerudo would soon suspect what she was and try to use her power.
Princess Ruto despite being in love with Link married another Zora man and born the kingdom it's next heir and had since renounce the throne.
Impa was a goddess among her people and already thought to be dead. She could walk freely among the people in her village without fear. Her protection on Kakariko Village never wavers.
Leader Darunia will soon give full power of the Goron tribe to his son. He has been leader to long for Goron standards, but his son was also born late, and when he comes of age Darunia will step down. He to would can stay among his people for Goron's never die unless you kill them, they are the ageless rock people.
Saria lay on her green slab of power. Still asleep, fear overtook Link. She was the strongest Sage next to Raru. Saria had the whole of Hyrule for power, yet she was the only Sage bound to her realm, to leave was to die. Her great power was in control, as was Raru he could not leave the Chamber of the Sages. The Triforce needed its guardian.
'Go to Zelda, my problem lies in her.' Saria's thoughts poured to them all. He looked back to her still motionless body.
'Go! I will not be able to wake until the problem is taken care of.' Saria's thoughts hissed.
Link nodded taking out his Ocarina again. The melody to the Temple of Time echoed faintly and he left his friends.
