Chapter 2
Saria walked slowly back to her hut, when Link left. It felt weird with Link gone. Usually they would be playing tag with the other Kokiri children, or other fun games that they liked to play. She was about to walk into her hut when Mido walked next to her.
"Hey Saria, where's Link?" He said mockingly. She glared at him with her big jade eyes.
"Mido, why don't you go back to being the piss ant you always are and leave me be."
"You know Saria, the Great Deku tree is dead. And I'll bet you that Link killed him."
"How dare you say something like that! If you paid more attention to your job and not yourself then you would have realized that the Great Deku tree's health was failing even before Link went there! So don't you ever say that again!"
"Saria can I ask you something?"
"No. But you can leave this instant before I smack you across the head." Mido ignored her, Saria wasn't the violent type so he wasn't afraid.
"What do you see in Link that makes you want to be around him all the time? And how come you don't hang around me?"
"Of all the conceited questions! You know what I see in Link? I see a very kind boy who only thinks of others. You know what I see in you? I see the most pompous boy I've ever met whom only cares about his problems. I see a boy who gets jealous just because I don't hang around him and then he wonders why? Why doesn't Saria like him? Well I believe I just gave the answers as to why Saria doesn't like him. So if you'll kindly remove yourself from my sight, then I might not loose my patience."
"I think your bluffing."
Saria raised her hand and smacked him across the head as hard as she could, he was so dazed by the blow he just sort of stood there. Saria pushed him out of her way and walked into her hut, closing the door behind her. She sat on her bed arms crossed.
"Saria… that was interesting. I think Mido deserved that smack. And I think he deserves another one. But don't do right now. You're so angry you might actually nock him out."
"I don't care. I wish I had knocked him out. He's probably still outside trying to figure out what he did wrong to upset me so. Oh Lilena, I can't stand it when he makes fun of Link, and when he said that Link killed the Great Deku tree… oh I should have smacked him right there."
"Oh, did you know that Navi is Links fairy?"
"Oh really!?" Saria new that Lilena was friends with Navi, she also new that Navi was one of the great Deku Tree's most powerful and wise (not to mention beautiful) Fairies. Lilena and Navi were both very powerful. More powerful than the other Kokiri children's fairies. "When did you find this out?'
"Well when you and Link were talking on the bridge I noticed her unmistakable blue glow. And immediately knew it was Navi. We talked for a little bit."
"What did you say to each other?"
"Ahhh, I new you would ask that. But Saria I cannot tell you. Not yet anyway."
"Oh please Lil, tell me! I won't tell a sole! You know that."
"I'll only say it's about you… and Link."
"What about us?"
"Now if I told you then you would know. Wouldn't you?" Saria sighed. "Just wait, you will find out, I'm not sure when, but you will find out."
The next day Saria woke feeling depressed. No Link to play with, no Link to talk with, no Link to play pranks on Mido with. Yes, today would be a very dull and boring day. Lilena was beside herself, trying to cheer Saria up. She knew what was wrong, but she wanted to here what Saria would say.
"Saria what's wrong?"
"Oh Lil don't pretend that you don't know what's wrong." Still Saria continued speaking. "I wish I could leave the forest, I wish I could come and go as I please, as Link does. And oh I miss him so Lilena. I want to play with him and have fun like we used to." Saria sounded like a little girl pleading for a toy she couldn't have. Lilena wanted to comfort Saria so bad.
"You would leave the forest even if it meant you wouldn't live eternally as a child?"
"What do you mean?" Lilena hated herself at that moment. Saria's intuition was incredible, and she was very clever.
"I'm just asking if you would give up eternal life as a child to see the world? I mean the Kokiri live so much longer then normal Hylians."
"Are you insinuating that if I left then I would grow up like a regular Hylian?"
"I never said that." Saria was quiet which meant she was thinking. Oh how could I have been so stupid! "Saria it won't work. There have been Kokiri who have tried." Lilena felt horrible about lying to her best friend, but the lie rolled off her tongue easily. Lilena knew that Saria couldn't leave the forest. Not yet anyway. It wasn't time. The truth was any Kokiri could leave the forest.
The whole myth of dying if you stepped a toenail out of Kokiri Forest wasn't exactly a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either.
If you stepped out of Kokiri forest and you were a Kokiri, then you would eventually die. So in other words you wouldn't have eternal youth. None of the Kokiri children knew this. Not Mido, not Saria, not even the No it All Brothers knew about it. Only the fairies and the Great Deku tree new about his.
Lilena new that Saria was till thinking about it.
"Lilena?"
"Yes Saria?"
"The one thing I wish most in the world is that I could be with Link… forever."
It was a couple hours later, and Saria was bored out of her mind. Outside there was the voices and screams of delight from the children as they played games. But Saria lay in bed reading a book.
"Saria go out and play with the others. I'm bored out of my mind."
"But it's so hot! … It's not the same…"
"Saria you've played in hotter weather than this. And of course it's not the same. Link isn't there. Come on let's go play!" Saria put down her book and walked out of her hut.
On the way to the kid's game of tag, Saria saw the tree house that Link lived in. She sighed, but Lilena hurried her along.
"Hey Saria wanna play!?" Asked Dyanna. Her twin Ryanna motioned for her to come over.
"Sure!" Saria said acting as happy as she could.
"You better watch out! Ryan's it!" Yelled Dyanna.
The Kokiri played all afternoon. Playing tag, or swimming in the little pond. Saria had to admit she was having fun, though it still wasn't the same without Link.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~
The next day Saria was up early again. She went to the Sacred Forest Meadow and stayed there for quite awhile playing her mystical song.
She was interrupted by Lilena.
"Uh, Saria… Saria!"
"Goddesses what is it Lilena?!" Lilena took didn't say anything she just pointed with her little hand. It was Link. He stood there a ray of sunlight flattering his golden hair. His eyes were piercing right through her with his sapphire eyes.
"Link!" Saria stayed rooted to the stump she was sitting on, not able to move. He ran over to her.
"Saria, it's good to see you!"
"Oh Link it's so weird you not being here. How is the outside world?"
"It's wonderful. Though I couldn't call anything else but here home."
"I do wish I could see it." Link didn't say anything about this. He new it was impossible. "Have you come to stay?"
"No, I'm not yet finished with my quest. I have met Princess Zelda though." Saria was taken aback how his eyes lit up when he said her name. It made her jealous and yet she didn't know why.
"That's great Link. Do come and play your Ocarina with me." He sat down next to her and played the song she played. They had fun laughing about the different tunes they made. It was very funny when Link played a sour note and then said it sounded like Mido when he forgets to brush his hair once every hour.
To soon their time was up. Link said he had to be leaving and then walked off. Saria almost wept this time when he left, so she stayed where she was until he was totally out of sight.
"Oh Lilena what is wrong with me? I'm near tears all because Link is leaving. Of course he'll be back right? I just don't understand why I feel so weird with him. Like I'm nervous or something." Lilena knew, and she knew all too clearly.
"Come on Saria, let's get back to Kokiri Forest."
Umm theirs more to come and the reason why I rated it R is because in later chapters, theirs going to be some violence (I think), Cursing and maybe some sexual content, but only a little of that.
Saria walked slowly back to her hut, when Link left. It felt weird with Link gone. Usually they would be playing tag with the other Kokiri children, or other fun games that they liked to play. She was about to walk into her hut when Mido walked next to her.
