Disclamer: I don't own Zelda.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 years before Oot

I play my ocarina alone, on my stump in my special place: the Sacred Forest meadow. I have been playing for at least two hours. I brush my green hair and got off the stump. Ever since Aniki (elder brother) left us, everything went downhill. The fun and games seemed to go away. But now I stop, because I see glittering near the Triforce monument in the middle of the field. The golden glittering startled my fairy, Leon, who flew behind me and whispered "What's happening?"

I shrugged and looked at the becoming-solid figure. His body was sprawled over the image. I took a careful look and gasped. He was just like Aniki- his teenage face was relatively handsome. His elegant face had a slight smirk that interested me. He had black hair that spiked up at the back, but lied down on the front, and had, on his left ear, a slightly noticeable tip, but his right had a round ear. He seemed to me just like Aniki, but he… became a sage…

I had to wake him up and interrogate him. Poke. Poke. Poke. A golden coin fell out of his pocket. I curiously pocketed it. Leon flew even more behind me, in case he exploded. His reaction was only a twitch and the opening of his eyes.

"Oleh??" He asked.

"What? Can you hear me?" I asked.

He paused a moment and said "You are who?"

I supposed it was regular speech and said "Saria. This is my fairy, Leon." I gestured to Leon.

He smiled a bit then cast his eyes downward. In a moment he said "tree Deku the see to need I."

He was speaking in the wrong order! He needed to see the Deku Tree! Leon whispered "How does he know about the Great Deku Tree?" I shrugged, and saw the stranger's face turn red in embarrassment. I think he realized his mistake.

"Sorry." He said slowly "I really need to see the Deku Tree, it's important."

I complied and walked with him out of the Sacred Forest Meadow. I warned "Hold my hand, because if you get lost, you'll die."

The stranger flicked his hair and complied. "I know" he said. I took the straight path, which I found to be a transporter to the entrance of the Lost Woods. I let go of his hand and pointed to where the Deku Tree was. "He's over there." He glanced around, no doubt making sure no one was awake. But, it is very late at night. He ran towards the Deku Tree and I followed. On the way in the tunnel, we ran into three Deku Babas. I couldn't believe it when the stranger drew a knife from his pocket and slashed the three. He continued on his way, while I had to trail behind.

He stopped suddenly, making me crash into him. "Deku Tree?" He asked.

The Great Deku Tree was feet in front of him and looked at him. I stepped behind him and said "Great Deku Tree, this stranger appeared in front of me in the Sacred Forest Meadow and asked to see you." The Tree nodded and the stranger spoke in his "opposite language." My jaw dropped when the Tree replied in that language. He told me to wait for him outside… so I walked out and waited.

What do you think? It's a bit short, but I hope to add on to it later on.
