Thunder crackled over the land of Hyrule, as dark black storm clouds began to gather. On a mountain-side on the Death Mountain mountain range a dark cloaked figure stood.

Lightning flashed as the figure began to speak, "Soon boy, very very soon...Hyrule will fall and you will be MINE!"

The figure began laughing, its hollow, cold, and menacing voice reverberating off the mountains to the valley below.


In Kokiri Forest, Link, the Hero of Time slept, oblivious to the noise of the coming storm that echoed down from the mountains. He was utterly exhausted, having just come back from his long trek to find his friend and companion Navi the faerie. Not only had he saved Hyrule weeks before from the menace of Ganondorf, but he had soon after braved the evil powers of Majoras Mask and saved Clock Town and the realm of Termina from certain destruction. He had indeed lived up to everyones, even the sages, expectations and was growing into the role of Hero of Time quite nicely. However, for now, all Link really wanted to do was sleep.

More thunder rolled as lightning split the sky above Kokiri forest, but Link just rolled over onto his side and continued snoring. Navi, whom Link had found soon after his adventure in Termina, slept in her little box alongside Links bed. Suddenly at the top of Links ladder some green hair appeared, and was followed up by a girlish face. Pulling itself up the last rings of the ladder, the green tunic clad figure walked over and began shaking Link lightly.

"Link..." said a serene voice that came from the figure, "wake up lazy bones!"

Link only turned on his side, away from the figure and muttered, "go away...I'm sleeping..." with that he continued to snore louder than before.

"Thats it! You're getting up!" the figure snapped. It reached out and grabbed Links cap before pulling it over his eyes roughly. Link ignored the action and continued snoring itno the cap, his sleep undisturbed.

Saria, Links best friend among the Kokiri, and the figure who had come in scowled again, "Ohhh Link you're impossible! Thats it! Here I come buster!"

With that she uncerimoniously jumped onto Link, who still lay sleeping on the bed. Links reaction was instantaneous.

His eyes shot open and he immediately tried to sit up only to find blackness around him (as his cap was still down over his face.)

Gasping he cried out, "Help, Help, I can't seeee! I can't seeee!!"

Saria sitting on his stomach giggled and then uncerimoniously pulled Links cap from his eyes.

Link blinked for a second, suprised at the sudden turn of events. Scowling as he saw his friend he grumped,"Saria?! What was that for! I'm trying to get some sleep here!" He snapped as he squirmed to get free of her.

Saria only giggled, bent down and pinched his cheeks, "whats the matter Linkey-winkey, did I disturb your beauty sleep?" She giggled again as she continued manipulating his face with her hands using his cheeks.

"How many times have I told you not to call me Linkey-winkey!" Link tried to counter, looking cross. He was equally miffed, as his sleep had been disturbed and now Saria was on him, tormenting him and calling him a name he absolutely abhorred.

He kept struggling and eventually squirmed out of her grip, then asked, rubbing his sore cheeks, "what was that for?"

Saria kept an innocent face on as she replied, "I was only trying to wake you up Link, or should I say sleepy head? Sides, you were in such a deep sleep I couldn't resist." she teased in between giggles.

"Bah, never let me get any sleep around here..." he scowled again and stuck out his tounge, "sleep napper." He then coughed, "now if you don;t mind getting off me?"

The Forest Sage giggled and slid off Link, "honestly Link you're so fun to tease sometimes, now come on, up and at em!" With one quick movement she swiped the blanket off his bed which caused Link to mutter back in a mocking tone, "yes mother dearest."

Saria bent over and patted Links head as she got out a a clean Kokiri Tunic for him, "good boy!" Link just rolled his eyes.

Within a few minutes link was fully awake and was staritening out his cloathes he had changed into. Saria had made him wash his face again, which riled him to no end, and now, what bothered him even more was that she was combing his hairs with that infamous brush of hers that Link absolutely hated. It seemed to be a homing missle for knots. For some reason Links hair never seemed to stay straight, it always was toussled in some way or another and was prone to tangle, usually because of the sweat he worked up when working with his sword and shield.

Link had always hated that brush and today was no exception. As Saria began to wrestle with another knot Link squaked, "Oye, watch the hair! Be careful! Ow!"

Saria only tutted, "I would if you'd sit still!"

Link countered, "I would sit still if you'd stop yanking all the time!"

Saria only rolled her eyes as she continued to comb, "If I stopped yanking you'd only try and slip away and go and goof off like you always do!"

He smirked and shrugged, "can't help it if you're easy to get away from. Ow!" Saria had yanked at another knot and he sulkily quieted down muttering, "You're horrible..."
Saria's only reply was a quite smile and a, "I know."

After Links hair had been brushed quite thoroughly despite more protests from Link, Saria finally set the accursed brush down. Wincing Link touched his hair gingerly and put his green cap on.

"So," he began, "whats so important that you have to move the earth to wake me Saria? I mean its storming outside, and I've been very busy as of late, and I need my beauty sleep...I'm so tired..." he couldn't help but whine.

Saria sighed, "I know Link, but this seemed kind of important."

"I'm listening, but that doesn't mean I'll like it or give you any sympathy." Link replied making a face.

The Forest Sage just rolled her eyes and continued unabated by her friends seeming lack of interest, "well then try and ACT as if you're trying to pay attention, if only for a few seconds."

Link yawned, strecthed, a sign that he was already bored and asked, "so then, what is it?"

"Well," Saria started, "I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and..."

"And you want me to knock you out?" Link asked as he grinned, it was obvious the thought was very appealing to him.

Saria only rolled her eyes, then tutted, "no silly, I was going to say the Spirits of the Forest have been rather restless as of late, they keep telling me that a great evils on its way to Hyrule..."

Link shrugged, then grinned cockily, "nothing I can't handle!"

Saria held up her hand and shook her head, "I'm not so sure Link," she replied, worry crossing her young face, "they seem to tell me that this evil seems to be stronger than anything you've ever faced before...that means STRONGER than Gannondorf and Majora, I've tried sensing it, and its powers seem to dwarf even the Sages powers."

"I'm sure Rauru will figure something out..."

"I'm not so sure Link," replied Saria, "ever since these dreams began my connection with the Chamber of Sages seems broken, I can't get in contact with him..."

"So why come to me?" Link asked with a small sigh.

Saria nodded, but Link couldn't help but see she had something he definately was NOT going to like in her eyes, "Well...I was wondering, maybe we could go see Princess Zelda."

Link almsot crashed to the ground as he faulted, then groaned, "Zelda?! Oh no...no way! get you two together and I wouldn't survive!"

Saria put her hands on her hips, "Link! C'mon this is serious!"

Link sighed then hung his head in defeat, knowing that if Saria had her mind set to something she would get it anyways she could, including using the brush as blackmail. He shuddered then sighed again, "alright, fine, you win, let me go get Epona from the stable..."

Saria, smiled, giggled then grinned as she clasped her hands together, "Great! I'll go get us some warm cloathing for the trip!"

Link sighed shook his head then groaned, "what have I gotten myself into?"

Within a few minutes Link and Saria were packed and ready to go. Link took the time to make sure he had secured the Fierce Dieties mask into his pack so Saria couldn't see it. By the time they were done It had started raining rather heavily but Link knew it wouldn't stop them. Despite the weather Navi was up and flittering about around Links head. She also seemed rather giddy about going and kept bibbing up and down in the air excitedly.

"We're going to see the Princess!" she exclaimed.

"Wonderful..." sighed Link, "chatterbugs really can't wait to flock together..."

Saria scowled and hit Link on the arm, "Pest!"

Link grinned, "and damn proud of it, so thats MISTER pest to you."

Saria only rolled her eyes in response, then asked, "right, well then, you ready to go Mr. Pest?"

Link shrugged, sighed then looked out into the churning rain, "right now I'm wishing I was back in my nice warm bed..."

Both hopped onto Epona and as Link took the reigns she grinned, "well, right now, this takes precedence, so onward to Hyrule Castle Town!"

Link could only groan, "why me!" as he spurred Epona into the night.

As the two galloped off the dark cloaked figure watched, a smile playing on the fair skin underneath the hood, "Thats right my Hero...come closer to your destiny..come to me.."

With another laugh the figure seemed to get struck by a bolt of lightning and dissapered.
