Not much to say really... By the end of this chapter, I am at 198 pages. The Curse of Immortality was 346.

This one is going to be considerably shorter...

Enjoy!

The pool was bigger than anything Saria could've imagined. It was about as big, if not bigger, than what she imagined a town, if she had ever been to one, would be.

The depth varied, from what she could tell. The largest section was barely a pool, and more a large, submerged section of land, only two and a half feet under the crystal blue water.

No one was in it yet, and the pool looked fairly calm. The deeper section, dropping down well over 50 feet, looked rather intimidating to Saria, who wasn't even sure she could swim.

Everyone was standing and sitting, some even flew or floated, on the grassy section, next to a large stage, still empty. Many people had some form of clothing on, but, as Xavier had described to her, a few people stood around in the nude like nothing was wrong with it. This shocked her, and she did her best not to stare at some of the more handsome men.

"Well, here we are." Xavier was suppressing his excitement, Saria could tell.

"And now what?"

"We eat food!" He said gleefully as he led her towards the thousands of people.

Xavier and Saria walked up to a small line, one of many, where people were waiting for food.

A small group of guys, all around Xavier's age, all strikingly attractive in some way or another, approached Xavier and Saria, all with a grin on their faces. Saria couldn't have felt more embarrassed, not wearing anything underneath her flimsy dress.

"So the party started then?" One with short blonde hair asked Xavier.

"I am here, so yes, this party is officially begun!" Xavier replied joyously, "nice to see you again Royce."

"Aye to you too X. So, what is planned tonight, or rather, which is first? Karaoke, or pool?"

"I'd rather sing while I'm dry, you know, get the food more digested before the pool."

"Same here." Another man, shorter with red hair, agreed.

"You hate the water James."

"That I do…" The shorter man, now known as James, snickered.

"Who's your lady friend tonight X?"

"Ah, this is Saria, she, well… let's just put it simply and say she doesn't know where she is quite yet, and has to figure out on her own. I found her just a little bit ago."

Has it only been a little while ago? It seems much longer…

"Ah! Hint time!" The men all sang in unison to Xavier's dismay.

"A perfect place," James started,

"A merry place," Royce interrupted,

"Endless in all ways," A third man also began to chime in.

"The first to rise,"

"The last to fall,"

"A place where you will see all."

"You've heard of here,"

"I'm sure you have,"

"And only the bad,"

"Shall fall from this sky,"

"And leave us here to happily sigh."

"But the ones allowed are those who've-"

"She's heard enough, boys, shut up now."

"Yeah, yeah, you and your enigmatic ways." Royce scoffed.

"She must figure it out by herself." Xavier insisted, Saria just scratched her head confused, it wasn't clicking.

"Where did you come from?" Another man asked, a tad plump, but his face was happy nonetheless.

"I don't know…" Saria admitted.

"Oh, one of those cases. Xavier, you've met people like this before, she's not supposed to be here!"

"But she is, until she can-"

"Remember everything on her own…" James finished, "I thought you meant she didn't know where she was because she was in denial."

"How could one be in such denial of such a perfect place?"

Xavier nodded, and looked at the bewildered Saria standing in front of him, her head just peaking off of his shoulder.

"Come on Saria, get some food, and we'll take a seat."

Saria viewed the vast buffet in front of her happily, she felt like she hadn't eaten in forever as well. After veering away from most of the drinks, seeming alcoholic, and remembering preaching's from an annoying figure who she couldn't name off the top of her head, she chose a simple glass of water.

What she was eating, she didn't quite know. It seemed to be a piece of meat, fully cooked, jammed in between two pieces of weird bread. Xavier called it a hamburger.

Saria chose this, and, just before picking a bit of potatoes, looking fairly familiar, Xavier's friends told Saria to 'live a little', snickered, and then told her to pick this strange things that they all swore were a form of potato called fries, but Saria didn't believe them.

So, what she ended up getting out of here first meal in this strange place was a, quoted from Xavier, 'Number One' from some food place from a strange place called Earth.

Earth… that sounds familiar too… how do I know this place? I know I didn't live there… I lived somewhere… else… it was not called Earth…

Saria was about to pick up a fork and knife when Xavier and his friends stopped her.

"No no no Saria, no forks allowed." Royce preached. (A/N: Teaching her how to not use table manners... they are all a bunch of big, little boys. Lol.)

"Why not? How do I eat my food?" Saria looked at it longingly.

"Pick it up and eat it!" They encouraged together, picking a place to sit down at.

Saria knelt down, sitting on her legs, making sure none of these slightly rowdy men couldn't see up her dress.

Saria placed the plate in front of her, and looked at the burger, it seemed to look back at her.

She picked the thing up and lifted it to her mouth, taking a small bite from it.

It wasn't until after she swallowed the bite of the oddly tasty food that she noticed the guys had been watching her.

The moment it stopped in her stomach, they all blinked once, looking at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Well? Good?" Xavier asked, one of the guys now.

"Yeah, great." She said, if a bit unenthusiastically.

"WOOOHOOO!" They all cheered in unison, making Saria crack a smile. (A/N: The party-goes. That is pretty much what they all are.)

"Saria!" Royce looked at her with a hint of distaste.

"What?" She asked, slightly intimidated.

"Why did you get water?"

"WHAT! Who let her get THAT?" James agreed.

"Because I don't drink."

"WHAT? Why not?"

"Why, should I want to?"

"Oh my gosh! Half of the point of this party is to go crazy and not care about anything. The future, well, this is it! Come on… we're getting you something stronger than water." Saria had just taken a bite out of her burger when James and Royce jumped up and pulled Saria back to the buffet line, one of the many, and got her a cup.

"Seriously guys, I don't drink, please…"

"Wait, Royce, did you hear something?"

"Yes, I heard, 'drink please'!" They threw there heads back in laughter, and got Saria a cup.

"Please… guys, I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"I don't know… someone told me not to." Saria shrugged.

"Is that someone here?"

"No, but-"

"Then who is he to catch you?"

"It was a she!" (A/N: Memory!)

"How do you know that? Didn't you lose your memory?" The guys held the drink a tad closer to Saria's mouth.

"No! Rareen told me not to!"

"Amazing what a drink can do, eh Royce?"

"OH MY GOSH! I remembered something!"

"And fine, you don't have to drink." James rolled his eyes annoyed.

"But we're drinking nonetheless. We are the party people!" Royce cheered, toasting with Royce and taking another swig of their bottles.

"You're not going to do anything to me while you're drunk are you?"

"Why would we? Because you're an amazingly cute girl?"

Saria blushed.

"Um…" She was speechless.

"We don't do that stuff to people, they have to want to first, and then, you don't belong here, so we really couldn't if we wanted to."

"Oh… thank heavens…" The two men grinned.

"But why are you worried about that?" They asked her as they walked back.

"I had problems… memories of… a bad person… doing bad things to me…"

"Maybe that is how she-"

"Shush! So, who did it to you?"

"I just know him as a dark shadow… hovering over me, making me do things, speaking bad things into my ear and having to try to ignore them for some reason…"

"Was that reason someone special?"

"Why would I be struggling if one man is making love with me, if I've already done it with someone else?"

"Maybe you're still a virgin?" Royce suggested.

"That would suck so bad…" James said, looking sympathetically to Saria.

"Why? I know some people are virgins for a long, long time."

"I guess… but it is a nice experience to have all the same…"

"I don't know if I'm a virgin… I mean, if I ever gave consent to anyone…"

"Did you drink or something? Or is sex always on your mind?" James teased.

"Shut up!" She hit him on the shoulder playfully.

"As you wish your majesty." James flew forward to the group, and Royce followed.

These guys are so weird!

"Hey look! Xavier's drunk enough to start the karaoke!" One guy from the group exclaimed.

On the stage a good twenty feet from Saria, Xavier and his purple tunic stood, slightly tottering, obviously drunk to an extent, holding a strange stand with a handle at the end of it.

"Hello my good people!"

"Hello!" The group collectively called back in a roar, it was about a thousand people, so it was loud.

"Before I start," He paused to widely fix his standing on the ground, "I am curious as to why you all think I am here. Bring on the guesses."

"You're bored!"

"You're a party lover!"

"You're drunk and can't leave!"

"You feel a compelling urge to stand in front of a bunch of drinking men and women!"

"You want to share more stories!"

"All viable answers…" Xavier said, laughing. "But I come here because today is an anniversary!"

"To what Xavier?" The crowed collectively asked.

"Of me being here! Now, you're guessing… to see how old I am." He voice was a bit slurred.

The crowd was silent.

"I'll start the bidding at 100 years."

Xavier pointed at a person raising her hand and smiled.

"200? Do I have two hundred? Who has known me for 200 years?" More hands.

"How about 500?"

Saria was stunned. 500 years old? He's immortal…

"1,000?" Still a massive amount of hands were up.

"2,000?" The same number of hands, if just a tad smaller.

"3,000?"

Xavier continued this up to 8,000, and then the hands started to fall.

"How about 10,000? Anyone here known me for 10K?" About two hundred hands were up.

"11,000?"

"12,000?"

"Let's go a bit higher then, seeing as I know these people…" James, Royce, and Xavier's friends' hands were down.

"20,000?" Two hands up.

"You, how long have you known me?"

"Xavier, I've known you since I got here 24,035 years ago."

"Not close enough! You, how long has it been… oh, I know you… Samuel…"

"Let's see… I'm the only one older than you here…" Sam smiled widely. It was obvious even from Saria's standpoint, literally a crowd away from him.

"That you are Sam."

"Let's try 32,487 years here. Then, 21 years of age spent in the Other World, and then, you went back in time twice, resetting your physical age, giving you a grand total of 52 years of Other Worldly life, and then that would make you presently… 32,539 years old."

"Bingo!" Xavier called happily.

"Now what are you singing for us today?" Sam asked for the crow that had unknowingly become silent.

"Umm… guys, I need your help for this one." He ushered his gang up to the stage, and like the pack of drunken hooligans they were, they stumbled getting on the stage. He began to whisper to them once they were there, and they all looked at the crowd every now and again, chuckling.

"So which one of her songs?"

"Not Waka Laka, I'm sick of that one."

"The Game of Love!"

"YEAH!" They all cheered, and assumed positions on the stage.

Saria felt ashamed, knowing they were gonigto do something stupid and foolish, and that she was with them.

A large, fat man was sitting next to her in a red robe, looking very majestic.

"Hello." He said kindly to Saria, he looked strangely familiar.

"Hi." Saria waved at him and then focused on the clowns on stage, fixing something up.

"Are you new here?"

"Yeah… just got here today."

"I think I came here yesterday. Where are you from?"

"I have no idea. I lost my memory."

"How sad… I came from Hyrule, a nice little medieval…"

"Hyrule…" Saria looked into her mind, drowing out the man's voice for a moment.

I KNOW HYRULE! I lived there! In a forest! Um… yeah! I lived in a forest! Oh what was it called?

"Um sir, I came from Hyrule, I just remembered. Is there s a forest there?"

"Yes, a vast forest on the southeast of the borders. It is called Kokiri forest. You know, you look a lot like a Kokiri."

"Yes! I was a Kokiri! Who are you sir, so that I can thank you."

"I was the King."

"The King of Hyrule! My gosh! Your kingdom needs you! Their… oh my gosh! They're in poverty! Struggling with the winter weather! Oh my gosh! I remembered!"

"You're welcome, um… What was you name?"

"Saria, your majesty." Saria did a little curtsy.

"So you're the Saria I've heard of by my daughter."

"Zelda! I know her! I met her once! Oh my gosh! She has blonde hair, and loves pink!"

"Yes she does. I hope she's safe."

"Oh… ohh… ohhhhhhh…" Saria was thinking very hard, holding her head.

"Are you alri-" The king began.

"She's not ok! Oh my gosh! That man… that dark evil man… has her captured… in… in the… um… dungeon! Yeah! The dungeon where he kept Zelda and Ruto! Ruto! That Zora from Zora's domain! Oh my gosh! She was always annoying to me for some reason… oh… why was that? Ugh… I hate this…"

"There there, don't hurt yourself. Just watch the show, and then you can go swimming Saria." He patted her back, and she felt a bit calmer, watching the show.

A faint sound began to come from the stage somewhere.

Then, Royce and James appeared from the darkness on the stage, a big circle surrounding each of them.

Both of them began to hum together in an odd, fast beat that made Saria's heart feel like it was in the air.

Then, their humming became a fast string of 'la's, which made Saria look sheepish, laughing at their girlish voices.

Then Xavier appeared with the stand again, the other two guys dancing in the background.

"American lover," Xavier pulled out a small flag with red, white, and blue blurs on it, then quickly discarded it.

"Tattooed with flowers," A bouquet of flowers appeared, which he threw into the crowd, some lucky girl caught it and began to cheer.

"Man strongly muscled, steely heart." All of the guys flexed in synchronization, and then pumped their chests out. From there, Saria rubbed her eyes, already a bit hazy, she swore she saw a metal heart appear on each of their chests for a moment.

"But lovely lovely baby, wanna be your lady." All of the guys spun once, and all appeared in female dresses, only for the dresses to disappear as they spun again.

The crowd roared in laughter, it was their jobs.

A bit more singing, and Saria was already laughing with the crowd.

"When I feel blue I wanna be with you," the guys turned blue for a moment, and beckoned above as if they wanted something badly.

"Hey you!" They all pointed to Saria for a moment, and the light shone to her, making her feel embarrassed, "...Not you!!" They all pointed to a random person in the crowd.

"Who wanna be my lover??" They beckoned saria up to the stage, but she shook her head no.

"Oh baby don't be glower, I'll make you feel so right!!"

"Hey you!" They pointed at Saria again, "...Not you!! Who wanna feel the fever?? It's growing my desire, to make you feel so nice!!"

Then they began to make their 'la's again, and sung wildly and merrily, Saria began to slip away from the crowd, hoping they wouldn't mind if she took a small berak from the festivities.

"I know I know him from somewhere… this music… it is familiar… kind of… Oh! What was his name! It was Xavier, I knew an Xavier, but he didn't look like him!"

Saria sat down, thinking hard about everything, and getting nowhere.

She now knew she was Saria, a Kokiri from Hyrule, who lived in the forest as a ten year old girl for the bulk of her life, and that changed at one point, and she began to age again. But she couldn't remember why.

She also knew that there was a bad man who had kidnapped her, and forced himself upon her more than once, but only got her once. She also knew that she had a mother-like figure, Rareen, a fairy who was old than her and was a pain to her life.

"Oh, but why were you so annoying? What did you prevent me from doing? Everything," she answered herself. "She prevented me from doing lots of things… all because she was worried about me… oh…" Saria rubbed her head, thinking hard.

She was interrupted by a loud noise.

"NOW TO THE POOL!"

"Uh oh…" She grumbled, noticing that she was the only thing in the way from them and the pool, as the crowd charged the body of water.
