DISCLAIMER: The characters here are all owned by Nintendo. So is the Legend of Zelda series. And Ocarina of Time. And I don't. I don't have the imagination to make characters up. Except a creepy guy with a dagger. And now, without further ado, the story that you weren't really waiting for but accidentally found online.
Dreams of Prophecy
Chapter 1
A man. Dark-haired. A huge man. Approaching.
No.........
Getting closer. Holding something. A dagger. A weapon.
No.......
Holding it up. Swinging his arm. The dagger.... piercing....
Noooooo!
Link woke up in a fright, panting heavily. His sweat had made his bedsheets as wet as a Zora's skin.
"Link," a familiar voice called from right outside, near the curtain which served as a door, "are you okay?"
"Saria?"
"Oh my goodness," Saria cried worriedly, "what's wrong? Do you have a fever? I'll go get..."
Link grabbed her hand and pulled it close to him.
"No, Saria, it's fine," he said, smiling, hoping to calm her down.
Saria sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at him with a concerned look on her face.
"What has been going on with you? This is the hundredth time that you..."
"Don't worry about it, Saria," interrupted Link.
Saria ripped her hand out of Link's grasp.
"How can I not?," she said hoarsely, tears forming in your eyes. "I can't see you like this. Don't you understand I'm just worried about you? Link, ..."
She couldn't finish her sentence. She placed her head in her hands and sobbed. Link tried to comfort her, but she turned away suddenly and ran out of Link's house, still weeping. Link jumped out of bed, ran outside and climbed down the ladder leading to his home, and ran to Saria's house.
"Saria?" he called.
But no one answered.
"Saria's not at home," he thought, "but I know where she is."
A knocking came at the door.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
The door opened, and the head of a middle aged man with a cheerful smile popped out.
"Hello, who's this?"
"This is Lon Lon Ranch, am I right?"
"Oh, absolutely!" said the man, and opened the door wide, revealing his plump belly.
"Ah, perfect! And I assume you are Talon, the owner here?"
"Once again, absolutely right," Talon chuckled.
"I must be quite lucky today!" laughed the man at the door in response.
"Indeed you are!" Talon laughed back. "But what brings you here at 4 A.M.?
"Oh, I am terribly sorry. Did I wake you?"
"Don't worry about it. I wake up earlier, but I haven't ever had visitors this early! You're my first one! It only makes me feel better knowing that someone would want to get here as early as possible!"
The man laughed kind-heartedly.
"Indeed, indeed. Now, I came here for some very important business matter."
"Which concerns our ranch?"
"Why did I come here, then?" the man laughed, and Talon chuckled back.
"Why don't you come inside? It is too cold for me to let you stand out there! Come inside, come inside!"
"Why, thank you," the man responded.
Talon closed the door.
"Saria!"
No response.
"Saaariaaaa!"
Still no response.
Link looked around, but Saria was nowhere to be found. But wait, what was that sound?
Link froze and listened. The sound was weeping. Following the sound took him behind the tree near the stump where Saria always sat. She was sitting in a fetal position, leaning on the tree, crying into the palms of her hands.
"Saria!"
Link ran up to her and caressed her.
"Saria, there's nothing to worry about," he reassured her. "I have just been having bad dreams recently. It's nothing to worry about, okay?"
Saria paused her sobbing to look up at Link. Her beautiful face was covered in tears and her eyes were red with sorrow. Link couldn't resist placing a soft kiss on her forehead, to which Saria responded to by returning the hug.
"Saria, let's go back home."
"Just one thing, Link..."
"What is it?"
Link looked at her.
"Can you sleep at my house tonight... I want to make sure that... it... doesn't happen again..."
"If it makes you feel better, I'll do anything," Link said, absolutely honestly.
Saria's face lightened up.
"Really?"
"Why would I say yes if I didn't mean it?"
"You weren't supposed to answer that question, silly!" she giggled, and pulled Link's ear.
She grabbed his hand.
"Come on, or it'll be morning!" Saria exclaimed and ran off, holding Link's hand.
"Hey... whoa.... hold on.... you're too fast!"
How did you like it? How did you not? I'd like to find out! No flames, please. They won't help you, or me. Well, they probably could get some frustration and anger out of you, but that's what pillows are for. So, review my work, and if you do I'll..... um...... well, please?
