The Plague of Hyrule: Chapter 2
Run Away!
Saria had gone to Goron City after Link left the Forest to spread the news of the plague. Darunia was getting too old to rule by himself, and his son, King Link, had taken the roll of King. Darunia was now considered his Royal Advisor, so that the young king would have an experienced hand at ruling to help him.
"Uncle Darunia?" (She calls Darunia her Uncle because she has no family. Nabooru, Zelda, and Ruto are her Aunts, and Link is her brother) "King Link? It's your cousin, Saria," she called.
"In here, Saria," answered K. Link. As she walked in, Saria groaned.
"Uncle Darunia! You, too?!"
Darunia looked up at her and smiled, but it was a weak, half-hearted smile. K. Link looked up and said, "What do you mean, you too?"
"Oh, yeah," Saria tried to answer, but her eyes were glued on Darunia, brimming with tears. "Well... Aunt Zelda and Link-no not you, the other one- think-and are almost 100% sure- that there is a plague running around, and I came here to check if the Gorons caught it, too."
K. Link cursed under his breath. "Well," he said with a sigh, "is there a cure?"
Saria nodded. She told him all she knew about the cure.

Two days later, after the leaders of all Hylian nations had been contacted, Link visited Malon again. He made sure she was being taken care of properly, but it made him insecure to know that Malon, his brave, strong, funny, Malon was so sick.
"Hey Link, watcha been doing lately?" Link smiled and told her all he knew, from the meeting with Zelda to what Saria had told him of Darunia and King Link. She groaned. "Darunia, too?! Goddesses, this sucks! I can't even sing..." She gasped for breath and coughed instead. She gave Link a tiny smile, and said, "You should see yourself, Link. You look horrified...."
Link tried to smile, but couldn't. "Well, Mal, I gotta scram. I'll see you later." He gently stroked her hand and got up to leave.

"Zelda?" Link cursed. He had looked every where for the Queen, but she was nowhere to be found. "Hey, you!" An old servant stopped and looked at him, then bowed deeply.
"How can I help you, Master Link?"
"Where's Zelda?!" He demanded, not bothering to use any formalities.
The servant gasped, and replied, "You don't know?! She is in the Hospi-" He couldn't finish for Link had already ran off to the Hospital Wing. He ran into several servants and visitors, but he couldn't care less. On his way there, he delivered the foulest, ripest language he knew, wasting every breath to curse the sickness, the Queen herself, and himself for being so careless. Upon hearing him, one Noble Lady fainted at the language she had never heard, and one man yelled treason (he overheard Link cursing Zelda). Finally he reached the area the man had suggested, held his breath, and opened the door. Goddesses, he prayed, don't let it be-... bad... He had caught sight of her before he had finished his prayer, but knew it was too late for that.
"It got me, Link," she told him after he had rushed to her side. "Look at me, Queen of all Hyrule, lying here in bed, sick beyond even my Healers powers." She chuckled, but it was interrupted by a coughing fit. Link's eyes stung with unwanted tears, and he brushed them aside impatiently. Suddenly-
"QUEEN ZELDA!!!!" Cried a running servant. Zelda and Link looked at the panting servant. "Your Majesty, it's spreading so quickly! We can't keep track of it anymore. It is in Goron City, Kokiri Forest,-" Link's heart dropped "-Gerudo Fortress, and Zora River! All the hospitals are filled up!"
Zelda turned to Link and held out her hand; he quickly took it and looked into her fevered eyes. "Link," the queen gasped, "you must go and save this land a second time! Run away from this awful place! Come back and save your Queen!" She fainted from lack of air.
Link ran, as fast as he could, not once pausing for air. Past a servant, bang open a door, dodge a tree, through the field, all the way to Saria's house. He was so intent on making it there that he didn't notice the Kokiris were not out and playing by the water, or in the bushes, or anywhere. He burst into her house, and, panting hard, doubled over from running so hard, exclaimed, "SARIA!! Take me to the Otherworld entrance." One look into his pain-filled eyes, and she knew something had gone very wrong.
"I can't run very fast...."
Link only paused for a second. He pulled out his Ocarina and Saria, understanding at once, came to him and took his arm in hers. "Here we go," he told her, and played Minuet of Forest.
"Through here!" She called as they stumbled past an entrance Link had never seen before. Before he stepped through, he bent over and gave her a swift kiss on the cheek. "Good luck, brother," she whispered as he dashed through the hollow log. A single teardrop fell from her face to daintily fall and splat on the ground as she turned and walked bravely away.
