A Hero's Departure

Chapter 2

In the Forest



"Link! Get up… It's time to get out of bed sleepy head." Saria whispered to a slumbering Link. She looked at him with extreme intensity. His face looked tired and twisted. He was dreaming. Probably of his past heroing days. "Link! GET UP!!" she yelled

"Wha…!! Oh, hi Saria! What are you doing here?"

"I was going to tell you that it is well into the day and you need to get out of bed."

"Oh, well thanks." Link said with blunt sarcasm

"Hard night?"

"You don't even know. I am not going to worry about it though. I'll give it time."

"Are you sure you want to do that? I mean, there's no time like the present."

"Yeah. Saria, do you ever miss being normal?"

"Of course I do, but it's not my calling. I was born to protect the forest as its sage. You were born to bring all of us together."

"What do I do now that my life has run its purpose."

"That's a good question. Maybe you are good for more than that."

"Saria, I told her. I told her everything. She just shook it off. What do I do? I can't make her love me."

"That's for you to decide. I have faith in you and in her. The princess has to fix her priorities, but the sooner you take action, the sooner you will find happiness."

"You are right. Thanks." Link got up out of his bed and gave Saria a big hug, "I think I will go into the Lost Woods and explore to-day. Maybe I'll find something neat."

"Ok. See you when you get back. I am going to go and check out the latest gossip." 'I wonder if any of these people know what kind of passion the one who saved them has… You'd never know' Saria thought as she exited Link's tree house.

"Father, I don't know what to do. What is your bidding?" Princess Zelda asked her father in the mighty throne room of the castle.

"Your marriage was arranged the day you were born. There is nothing I can do."

"Can't you break it off and sign a treaty? I do not love him, father."

"You will do as I say and you will marry the prince. If you try any other tactics, you will fail, and I might revoke the throne."

"If it is for love, I will do anything."

"Trust me, daughter. You could not live as one of them."

"Goodbye father. We shall continue this conversation another time." Zelda turned on her heel and walked out of the room. Walking up the stairs of the tower, she thought of him. He did everything for her father. Why did it have to go back? 'If father knew who he was, he would gladly let me off of the hook. But, no, he has to be mean and make me marry some prince who is probably a total loser and I'll probably hate him and it will be all his fault,' she thought, fists clenched. 'Why do I have to go through this? I should have told him… Link… please forgive me…'





(Chamber of Sages)

"All is going as was foretold. Do not worry about them, they will be fine." A plump man with a white beard said to the group, "The Triforce chose them. It was no accident that they both got pieces of it."

"Rauru, we know about the prophecy, but what if it kills them before we get the chance?" Saria asked the other sage.

"Yes, Zelda and I have spoken. She is in pieces over him. She is trying to get out of her marriage to that prince." Ruto added.

"Do not worry, my child. All will be well, he will follow his heart, as was foretold. Don't lose faith in our hero."

"Right!" They all said. One by one, the sages exited the sacred realm and the Temple of Light.
