*Leaving Home*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Link gazed out his window at the clear blue sky. He'd been to see the Deku Tree Sprout this morning. It was doing well, hardly a sprout anymore. He went to tell the Sprout he was leaving the forest. Zelda and her father had requested that he come and live in the castle. He would live happily and comfortably, but he also would miss the forest. He sighed. He missed Saria, too. Not that he'd had any romantic feelings for her, but she had been his best friend. He pulled out his ocarina and played Saria's song. It didn't bother him too terribly, but he would still miss her. One person he wouldn't miss, though, was Mido.
Mido was still the same, small, as the Kokiri were, and just as annoying. The Kokiri now knew who he was, and were glad he had saved them all. Mido, however, blamed Link for Saria's disappearance. Link had tried to explain it to him, but Mido said it was a load of ---- and walked off, cursing Link's name. Not that it mattered to Link, anyway.
"Link, you really should get packing," Navi said. Navi had come back, though for awhile seemed she would never return. She had spent some time with the Sprout, making sure everything was all right. Luckily, it had.
"I am, now," he said. He gathered the last of his tunics and his soldier regalia into his case, and laid the ocarina, his bow and quiver, slingshot, and hookshot on top of it all.
A new Kokiri was moving into his house, a girl. Her name was Kiana or something like that. He didn't know her too well. But now that he was leaving, he had to go tell her it was okay to come. She currently lived with her sister on the other side of the forest. He walked over and politely knocked before going through the always open door.
"Hi, Link!" Kiana said, eyeing his case. "I see you're leaving?"
"Yes, it's okay for you to move in now."
"Come and have some lunch with us," she pleaded.
"No, that's all right, I really have to go," he said. "But thank you anyways. I hope you enjoy my house, Kiana. Good – bye!" He nodded politely at her and her sister, then left the house. He waved a cheery good-bye to Jinu before he left. Jinu was the "gate" keeper. He guarded the exit from Kokiri Forest.
Link emerged into the bright, hot sunlight that streamed down over Hyrule Field. He pulled out his ocarina again and called to Epona. She galloped gaily toward him, prancing around him as she reached him. Link laughed.
"Hello, Queen Epona," he said. "Are you ready to go to the castle?" He fed her some sugar and climbed onto her back.
"Hi-ya!" Link dug his heels in as Epona took off across the wide expanse of plain toward Hyrule Castle.
A/N: Please help me with a title! This is my first Zelda fic. I am also currently writing an HDM fic, which is now on chapter 8. Hope you liked it!
