Love of the Forest Sage
Chapter 1: Kokiri Magic
By: Steven Jester

(Own nothing. NOTE: I go into a boring lecture for most of this chapter. If you get through it, the rest of the story is more action packed and character oriented. The lecture details my feelings of Hyrule up to this point in the story. Time has been reset after Ocarina of Time and it is about a month and a half after Link's return from Termina in Majora's Mask)

Life in the world revolves around two forces: Chaos and Order. Separate, these two forces pose little danger to the world, compared to the alternative. Together, they can create or destroy the world. Chaos and Order are the forces even behind the three forces of the ruling Goddesses. Chaos favors Power, the goddess Din. Order favors Nayru, the goddess of Wisdom. Both respect and fear the third force, the force of the goddess Farore, Courage. It is true that Din created the earth, Nayru created the spirit of law and Farore created the creatures to uphold the law. However in order to do this Din, Nayru and Farore needed raw material. You see, you could call the Three Goddesses master artists in Chaos and Order.

Each of the Three created a small domain for themselves, where their magic was strongest. Din created her domain among the high mountains of the Death Mountain Rage, named after the tallest peak of the range: Death Mountain. Nayru created her domain within the vast waters of what became known as Lake Hylia. Farore, however, had her domain among a vast forest known simply as the Lost Forest. It is true that when they finished the Three left the world and created the Triforce. Ancient Hyilans, a race of humanoid creatures that lived in the plains of this world, deemed the place where the Triforce stood holy. They created two temples, first the Temple of Light, which was situated around the Triforce. Then, using their magic they locked that land into what they called the Sacred Realm. However, Hyilan magic can only do so much. To focus their magic, they created the Temple of Time. They laid the door to the Sacred Realm inside the Temple of Time. The door needed a key. That key was forged in the form of a sword, dubbed the Master Sword. Other nations took to worshiping the gods and the Triforce. All in all, seven temples were created. The whole of this lands history, however, isn't the concern of this story.

Our story starts in the land of Farore. The forest has been watched over and protected by another race of humanoid creatures called Kokiri for many hundreds of years. Kokiri are inherently creatures of the Forest and as such are bound from leaving it. This presents a bit of a predicament in the case of one Kokiri, Saria.

We join Saria near the entrance to one of the temples that bind the Sacred Realm, the Forest Temple. Saria, whom is usually happy and cheerful, was sad and lonely. The only thing keeping her from breaking to tears was her ocarina. What was the cause of her sadness, you ask? Unrequited love is the only thing that could do this damage. Although most Kokiri can never feel the desire of intimate love, Saria is a special case. Her being, her very essence, desired one person: a boy by the name of Link. Link was raised in the section of the forest where the Kokiri lived, but was not Kokiri. Link was Hyilan.

It is, however, against the laws of Kokiri to love an 'outsider.'

Saria sat on a tree stump outside the broken entrance to the Forest Temple, playing on her ocarina. Her emotions were in check for now. Her song flew through out the forest. The song, which usually was bright and cheery, was a dead giveaway to Saria's sadness. All of a sudden, Saria's emotions got the better of her. She stopped playing and glanced at the entrance to the meadow. Link, why haven't you returned? Saria thought sadly, tears welling up in her eyes. Why, in the name of the Goddesses, why am I longing for Link? Is it because I miss my friend? Or is it something else, something I don't understand. Saria, like many Kokiri, doesn't even know the concept of intimate love, despite the fact she can feel it. Saria sighed, and then sobbed. "Why do I feel so horrible!" Saria fell to her knees sobbing hysterically. She cried for so long that soon night came. She eventually cried herself to sleep on the forest floor.

All the while, her fairy partner, Hikari, watched over her charge. She needs this; she needs to come up with the answers herself. Hikari looked at her sleeping charge. Saria seemed at peace, despite being hunched over. I hope this ends for the better.

Meanwhile in Hyrule Castle Town, a young boy in green walked into a brightly lit inn. "Ah… it's great to be in some familiar territory," the boy said as he walked towards the counter.

"Good evening young man," the innkeeper said cheerfully, "Might I offer you a drink?"

"Lon Lon Milk, if you have it please," said the young boy, "And a room if you have one."

"Milk we have," the innkeeper said, "but a room is hard to come by."

"I don't need anything fancy, just a bed and some privacy." The boy accepted the glass and chugged the whole of it down in ten seconds.

"Whoa! Easy there, killer!" the innkeeper said, chuckling softly, "We have plenty more where that came from!" the boy just smiled before finishing his second glass. Meanwhile the innkeeper checked his logs to determine if he had an open room. "It seams we do have an open room," the innkeeper said, "Under what name should I put it?"

"Link."

"Link? Where have I heard that before?" The innkeeper said wondrously. "Hah… but no matter, your room is the third one on your left."

"Thank you, sir," Link said as he took the keys and went up the stairs. Entering his room he sighed and laid on the bed, "Soon, Saria'aki, soon I'll be with you." Saria has been the only person to be in Link's thoughts these past few nights. Soon, Link will go to Kokiri Forest and rekindle the lost friendship. But for now, Link was quite content in just sleeping, and sleep he did.

During the night, Saria woke up to the feeling of restlessness, "Ughh… I need to find more information," Saria said, "I need to find a way to Link…"With that Saria stood up slowly and walked out of the meadow towards the village.

Saria went into her house and picked a book off of her bedside table. She "borrowed" it from the Know-It-All Brothers, although she gave them a fake reason as to why. The book was on the magic of the races of Hyrule. Studying the section on Kokiri, she noticed that, in a very complicated ritual, Kokiri could actually age and be able to leave the forest like a Hyilan. The ritual entailed asking the Great Deku Tree and the Forest Sage for permission and then prayer and the use of Kokiri magic to remove the restrictions on the individual. The problem was that the Deku Tree was dead and there hadn't been a Forest Sage for over fifty years. She thought about Link and how hard his life must be. Sighing, she put the book down and walked over to her dresser. Taking out her nighty, she stripped herself of her tear-stained tunic and shorts. She grabbed a fresh pair of undergarments from her dresser and walked back to her bed. She lazily reached for her older undergarments to strip them off of her when she noticed they were wet too. That's odd… I don't think I cried that much… She lowered her undergarments and tentatively touched herself on her moistened lips, letting a small moan escape her mouth. She looked at her hand with wonder. "What the…?" she felt the sticky substance on her fingers curiously. Out of interest, she touched herself again. "Ahh…" she moaned. It felt good, real good.

That night Saria experimented more with her curiosity and her affection for Link as her guide. ♥

AN: Ok… that's the end of this chapter! Ok, to explain the ♥ character… it signifies that this is where an edited scene is! The full scene (which exceeds policies…) PM me or e-mail me for the location of where it can be found. Also... I took out the Japanese and replaced it with Hylian (in our alphabet... I don't think it would show up here...) Those of you who already know this brand of Hylian, I chose "aki" for Link's description of Saria because he truly (in this fic anyway) loves Saria. Now would he say that to her face? Probably not. (yet)
