1 Desert Night

Disclaimer: What do you think?



Saria runs through the doors of the Chamber of Sages. All eyes turn to her.

"Tatl… the…" Sheik goes over to her. Saria looks up at him.

"Calm down Saria." He says. "Take a deep breath, and relax."

"I spoke to another Kokiri. Tatl used some kind of power in the forest. After that, all of the fairies were on her side, even Navi." The room is quiet. Link steps back.

"Where would she get that stuff?" Nabooru asks. Impa just frowns.

"Something isn't right here…" she comments. However, no one hears her. They are already out the door going after Tatl. Impa shakes her head, then takes the leftover cloth and prepares it. Looks like they may need it.



**On Hyrule Field**

The group minus Impa is standing on the field just south of Lon Lon Ranch. Links looks at Saria.

"Are you sure this is the place?" he asks. Saria nods.

"He said she comes through her checking on everyone." She says. "We are a little early though."

"Good." Sheik says. He holds up the prepared cloth. "That gives us time to get into position."

"You think that don't you." The group turns around to see the terrible trio; Navi, Tatl and Tael. Tatl swings around a bit, and a net drops down on the group trapping them. The fairies hover over them. After a moment, Navi yells out.

"WHERE IS SHADOW!!??" she practically screams. Tatl and Tael cringe. "TATL!! YOU SAID THEY WOULD ALL BE HERE!" Tatl tries desperately to hold her ground.

"I don't understand why she isn't with them… Forest was supposed to bring them all…" Saria's eyes go wide.

"How…" she stammers. Tatl has an evil look in her eyes.

"All we have to do is promise luxury or power and you will do anything. And everyone knows that the Forest Sage is the easiest to deceive. Put them together and you have the perfect plan." Nabooru grinds her teeth. Then she slowly starts to reach into her pants for her dagger. However Tael has been watching. Just as Nabooru's hand closes on the hilt, it vanishes. She looks up angry.

"Now, now, Nabby. That's not very nice." Tael says. In the next instant, all of the group's weapons are gone. "Can't have you trying anything funny now can we."

"What are you planning to do to us?" (A/N: corny, I know…) Saria asks. Navi smiles.

"Do you actually think I am that stupid?" she asks. She shakes her head. "Not this little fairy." She turns to Tatl and Tael. "Find the Shadow or it will be both of your hides!!" she says. Tatl and Tael run off as fast as possible. Then, everyone's worst fears arise. Navi calls on 2 of the Great Fairies to make sure they stay trapped until they are ready.

**This is going to be a long day…** Nabooru thinks as she watches them approach.

Fin for now. Having a problem with Mr. Writer's Block.
