Chapter 1
"Now!" said Saria. "Shoot him!" Link released the slingshot and the deku nut shot at the Ganondorf dummy with intense force. He launched one after another trying to hit the head. He missed twice, and then shot it. The head seemed to wiggle when the last deku nut shot. Link stopped and stood staring at the dummy. Saria walked over to the dummy and blew at the head, and then the head fell off. Saria walked over to Link and pat his back with a smile, saying, "Good job! Now all you have to do is try shooting with the boomerang and then you are set to go out into the world…and…" Saria looked down, and her eyes began to water. Tears started to flow from her eyes and fell on the forest floor. She frowned but did not let Link see. Link bent a little down to see what was going on, but Saria prevented that from happening by quickly wiping away the tears and then looking back up with a smile. She remained quiet for a few moments, which made Link a little nervous. "Saria?" He gently put his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her, but she looked at him with such sad eyes that he felt like crying too. He smiled and his eyes narrowed a bit, in a positive, don't-worry-everything's-going-to-be-alright way. Saria's face lightened up and she smiled. In her mind, she wished she could keep him here forever. "Let's just keep practicing shooting, ok?" said Saria. Link felt a little guilty for this because he always wanted to go outside into the world and he couldn't because he knew that Kokiri would die out there. He sighed and smiled, then said a simple "Yes, Saria." The day continued with the slashing of Link's sword against the dummy and Saria's cheer and coaching.
"Whatcha doin there, fairy-less?" said Mido as he walked onto the grass and didn't notice Saria behind him. He walked to Link, and smirked with an evil smile. Link made a face and narrowed his eyes. Saria walked in front of Link and said, "Mido, what are you doing here? We're training here! You can get hurt if Link's not careful!" Mido jumped back startled at Saria's voice. He looked at Link and then smirked. He then walked closer to Saria and frowned, then asked, "Why are you helping him? He has no fairy! And I thought you didn't like fairy-less people." He then kindly walked past Saria and poked Link's shoulder. He frowned and narrowed his eyes and said in his ear, "Saria's not going to always be there to protect you. So I guess you should start finding a fairy, Mr. No Fairy." Link pushed him aside and glared at him, then said, "I don't need a fairy to kick your arse!" Link walked past him and took Saria's hand, softly saying, "I think it's time we left to a more quiet area for training." Saria nodded and glared at Mido as she and Link walked away into the Kokiri Forest. Mido's eyes shrank and he looked down at the ground in shame of what he did in front of her.
