The gentle wind blew the beautiful golden locks of the lovely Princess of Destiny as she
stood on hill, holding a bunch of white flowers in her hands. Her lovely violet dress also
swayed lightly on the wind. Link sighed and watched her in admiration from the picnic
blanket.
Turning, so her blue eyes could meet his, she took in the handsome form of her husband-
to-be. His strong frame, clothed in his usual choice of green and silver Kokiri-styled
clothing. His blond hair fell in his face and framed it, making him look very handsome.
His crystal blue eyes always reminded her of the Lake Hylian waters.
She smiled at him and ran lightly to him, the bunch of white flowers tucked securely in
her hands. Laughing as she came up to him, she sat down lightly next to him, flowing
beauty in every inch of her.
"A rupee for your thoughts." Her lovely voice broke through his thoughts as he stared at
the lovely golden band on her slender white ring finger.
"Zelda...they are thoughts of a wonderful future." Link gently took her left hand in his,
pressing on it gently, smiling into her pretty eyes.
"I'm glad." Zelda said softly, looking back up at him. He smiled and leaned in and
kissed her.
Zelda felt the world stand still when he kissed her, her lips warm against his. His arms
were around her, holding her and keeping her safe from all evil for all time.
Link drew back from his fiancée and grinned at her. Zelda smiled back and they sat there,
embracing each other. But he noticed the sky was dark to the north.
"We'd better be going. It looks like there's going to be a storm today." Link shaded his
eyes and looked up at some clouds approaching. They looked very threatening, dark and
heavy. Unlike anything Link or Zelda had ever seen or heard about, for the clouds were
streaked with crimsons, yellows, and green-blues.
"Such strange clouds...I've never seen anything like it. It's pretty in a way, isn't it?"
Zelda said, looking at the mixture of colors in the clouds.
"Well, we'd still better pack up. I don't want to get caught in a storm like that. It seems
unnatural." Link let go of her a little reluctantly and stood up, preparing to gather the
picnic things together, while Zelda folded up their blanket.
Link was finishing putting the last plate into the bag they brought; a huge gust of wind
blew right then, making the blanket fly out of Zelda's hands. She looked at Link in a sort
of helpless little child way when the blanket flew into a tree.
Link smiled grimly and took her by her wrist and they began walking head on into the
wind to get back to the safety of the town. It was a hard walk.
"Do you think we can make it? It feels like we're going to be sucked up into it!!" Zelda
yelled over the roar of the wind, her eyes frightened.
"We will! Don't worry! We've gotten through worse before!!" Link yelled back at her
with a grin as they topped the hill that would bring Hyrule Town Castle into their view.
They stood on the hill watching as the eerie clouds swept over the sky above the town.
"This is making me feel more nervous. Let's get to the town, please, Link!" Zelda
clutched onto his arm, the darkness and the colors of the sky making her feel unnaturally
cold inside.
Link grit his teeth and took a firm hold on her arm and began walking again into the
head-on wind. When they got within 100 meters of the gates, an even stronger blast hit
them, this time the wind was coming from an eastern direction. Link's hand let go of the
picnic bag.
"It's not worth going back for! We could be hurt!" Link watched as the small brown bag
was hurled out of sight.
Zelda nodded and they began to make their way to the town's high gates. But before they
had even gone 50 meters, the gates closed.
Zelda looked at Link with scared eyes. "No one knows were out here! What do we do?"
She cried above the wind.
"I don't know! We'll have to find a wind-break!" Link looked around, his eyes finally
meeting her own. The look in them and the ring on her finger that promised her to him as
his when they wed reminded him ever again that his one goal was to protect his princess.
Deciding to use a tree, even though that was still pretty dangerous, for it could fall over,
Link ducked behind a small one that was close at hand.
"Hold on to me! Tight! With everything you have!" Link ordered her as he grasped the
trunk of the tree. Zelda held onto him, thinking that holding him wasn't the problem. It
was trying to hear him in this wind that was hard.
Link's blonde bangs were getting in his eyes and he could hardly see. But it seemed to
him that the colors in the sky were brighter and more focused on a point just outside the
Hylian Town Gates.
Zelda's violet skirts where whipped in the wind, and her hair was flowing almost straight
behind her because of the force of the wind. She buried her face in his shoulder, and
began praying that this would end soon.
"What the-??" She could hear Link shout.
Link watched as the colored clouds began to make a funnel, like a cyclone or tornado.
But the wind wasn't strong enough for that. The colors in the funnel began running
together, until it seemed like a meaningless colored cone.
There was a bright flash, and the wind stopped immediately. Link covered his eyes from
the intensity of the light, and when it all faded away, he looked up. He couldn't see
anything. Except a long dark figure on the ground and that looked like a log.
"Hey...Zelda, are you okay?" Link turned to his fiancée, who was looking somewhat
confused by all that had happened. Zelda nodded a bit shakily.
"What...what was it?" She asked, looking at the thing on the ground.
"I don't know...I'm going to go look." Link stood up and helped her stand up. Zelda's
hair and dress were a mess, and he was sure he looked just as bad.
Link began walking over to the thing on the ground. As he neared it, he noticed that
instead of being wood, it was hair. Long brown hair. He wondered what could have hair
that long except...
A human.
Link broke into a sprint.
"Link! Be careful!!" Zelda called after him, feeling like there was something wrong.
Link came to a halt near the form.
It was a girl.
Link motioned for Zelda to come over. Zelda came running, her violet skirts blowing out
behind her, making her look like an angel of old, flying over the ground.
"What is it-oh!" The one word penetrated the silence that fell between the two.
They stood there, looking at the girl on the ground, with the long dark brown hair. Zelda
clutched at his arm.
She lay on the ground on her side, her hair flowing over her face and body, wearing a
strange tunic type covering on her top half, then what looked like pants of a strange
material. She was nothing like the Hylians that lived here in Hyrule. Her eyes were
shaped differently, and her hair wasn't at all like Hylian. It was thicker, and of a most
particularly beautiful shade. And unbelievably long.
What struck Link as being definitely different was her ears and nose. Her ears were
smaller and rounded instead of elongated and pointed. Her nose also didn't have the
characteristic Hylian point and slight upward tilt that made most Hylian girls so cute in
Link's eyes.
"What...what is she? She isn't normal, right?" Zelda asked, peering into the girl's face.
Link grunted slightly in an assertive way and gently reached over and turned the girl over
onto her back, her hair falling away from her face.
Both Link and Zelda gasped.
There was a horrible jagged scar running its angry red course down the right side of her
face. Spilling out of her shirt was a golden chain. On her hands were brown leather
gloves, fingerless and she had a black and silver band around one arm. She looked like
something the Bombchu Dealer would drag up.
"Do...do you think it was brought here by her power?" Zelda asked, Link noticing she
said "it" instead of "she". Link was puzzled as well.
"I'm thinking maybe she isn't the one with the power to come here. She's not a Hylian.
You can tell by her ears and other things." Link said, placing his hand over her heart to
see if she was alive.
She took in a deep breath, much like a gasp. Then she exhaled, not breathing again.
Zelda jumped, not expecting that response.
"I think she'll need some medical attention. She isn't waking up." Link gently shook her
by the shoulder, getting another one of those strange gasps, making her take another
breath.
"Link...it's scaring me! Do you think you can call Saria? She'd know what to do!" Zelda
said, those weird breaths for air coming from the "thing", as Zelda would aptly put it,
were giving her the creeps.
"That's a good idea. We can't let anyone know about her, because they'd be very
supersticious and think it's another one of those "gods" everyone has been seeing lately.
The last time I checked, everyone was complaining about that crazy Skull Kid. The little
twerp won't stay in his own dimension and people think he's a god when he's at a
distance." Link said, pulling out his ocarina. Feeling the smooth wooden instrument
under his fingers, he smiled, for a split second, every memory connected to the ocarina
rushing through his mind.
Zelda watched him. Seeing the smile on his face, knowing what he was thinking and
feeling, calmed her. She loved it when he brought out his ocarina, his memories of the
people he met and knew flooding through his soul and into the notes that come through
the instrument and floated on the air like crystalline bubbles.
Link held the wooden ocarina to his lips and began playing the notes that had helped him
in his quests, linking him directly through his mind to Saria.
As the notes floated on the gentle breeze that had returned, Saria's voice entered his
mind.
"Yes, Link?"
.oO~*-*~Oo.
Deep in the forests of Hyrule, far past the Sacred Temple of the Forest, past all known
civilization in the forest, there was a tall tree. Thicker and larger than all the others
around it, it had been hollowed out near the top of the tree, and an inconspicuous ladder
made of vines trailed up one side.
Inside this hidden house, a girl with short green hair was picking up a dish off of a table,
when she heard a melody in her mind. She dropped the dish and gladly answered the call
of Saria's song.
"Yes, Link?"
"Saria! Saria, we've got a problem." Link's voice in her mind sounded urgent.
"What is it?"
"There was a great wind-storm. It was strange and of many colors."
"What do you mean? Of many colors?"
"It whirled and spinned in the clouds, there were many colors in the winds."
"Your description is confusing me. What is it your talking about?"
"A-...I don't know how to explain it." Link sounded like a little kid when he said that.
"You say you saw a colored cyclone?" Saria smiled as she said this. Link had an
imagination all right.
"Yes. That's basically it. It had really strong winds. Then it stopped after it had a bright
light." Link sounded exasperated with himself. He knew he sounded stupid.
"Well...strange things happen in Hyrule. What alarmed you?"
"There...there's a strange girl on the ground where the cyclone left. I know it sounds
stupid, but she's not breathing."
"What...Link...are you positive about what you saw?" Saria was beginning to look on
the skeptical side. 'Colored cyclones...bright lights...strange girls...he needs to have that
head of his examined.' Saria thought, grimly smiling.
"Yes.I'm positive. We have to do something about her. She takes the funny gasps of air
every time you touch her. Can we bring her there?" Link asked, finally glad to get the
story out. As Malon would sometimes say, "Spit it out!"
"All right then...I'll be waiting. Make sure she actually breathes." Saria sighed as she
instructed the boy to come as quickly as possible.
"All right then...Zelda and I will...get Epona and see how fast we can get there. Cerena's
tree right?" Link asked, before he would go and find a way to get the girl to Saria.
"Right. Isn't it where I always stay these days? Keeping her from going mad." Saria
sighed as she thought this message to him. When he didn't respond, she figured he'd
already broken the link between their minds.
"Saria? What happened? Did one of the plates slip?" A voice came from one of the other
carved out rooms in the huge trunk of the tree. Saria smiled to herself and called back.
"No! I just got a...message from Link. We're going to have company."
"Zelda? Oh god, I hope not her again." Cerena Montanyu came into the kitchen were
Saria was. She had pretty brownish red hair that fell to her shoulders and traditional blue
Hylian eyes.
Saria shook her head at the pretty girl who was the same age as herself, only much taller.
Cerena was one of those rare Hylians who could grow up in the Forest, without becoming
a Stalchild. Saria stayed with Cerena to make sure nothing happened to the girl.
"Yes, Zelda will be coming. Just mind your manners and you won't be threatened with
death penalty for interrupting a Princess of Destiny in the middle of her boring stories."
Saria smiled and laughed lightly at the last encounter with Zelda. Cerena had told Zelda
off during one of Zelda's stories about life in the palace.
"Well...if I hear one more story about the Blue Danube and Weiner Schnitzel again..."
Cerena made a face and Saria laughed.
"It's just because Zelda wants to give you a taste of other countries!" Saria said in the
defense of the princess, chuckling at the same time.
Cerena smiled wanly. She was glad Saria liked to visit, but she just wished.just
once.she could live without anybody worrying about her. Even if she had a broken
heart, she could still be happy in the woods she loved.
"I've tasted enough foreign countries to get fat." Cerena retorted gamely. Saria just
grinned at that one. Cerena was a smart mouth and a wise-cracker if there ever was one.
Always thinking of something else to contradict what someone said.
"You're so negative, Cerena! We're going to have to take care of someone, maybe for a
while. You really need to cheer up!" Saria poked the slender girl in the stomach, which
was about as high as Saria could reach on the Hylian anyways.
"Don't make me throw you across the room!" Cerena threatened, and sat down with a
scowl. "Who is it we have to take care of anyways? Mido? Link?" She asked with an
eyebrow raised and her chin propped up by one hand.
"Well...Link said it was a girl who fell from the sky in a cyclone of many colors." Saria
said, sobering down. "I'm wondering if he wasn't dreaming or something again. He's
been pretty weird since that Termina Moon episode." Saria shook her head. "I'm hoping
he's going to be all right."
"He's fine. If Hyrule wants a Hero...run to Link! Instant Ocarina Mail! At your nearest
store or trading post!" Cerena said sarcastically, playing with a spoon on the table.
"Cerena...I know you're bitter about.him.but you.you gotta let him go. People still
say they see him in the woods from time to time.maybe he's still alive." Saria touched
the girl on the shoulder, standing next to her as Cerena sat.
"I know...and not seeing him is killing me!" Cerena began crying into her hands. Saria
gently stroked her brown hair, not saying a word.
Outside, looking in from a tree across the way, a figure wearing a ragged outfit and a
large hat, moved away at the sight of Cerena's tears.
