Chapter 7
Mido got up slowly, his reactions still groggy, and gasped at what he saw. Saria was slumped onto the ground, her head buried in her hands. He could hear sobbing. Why was she so upset?
Curiosity getting the better of him, he slowly walked towards Saria, and tapped her shoulder lightly.
"What's wrong? Anything that Gerudo woman said that upset you?"
Saria remained silent, but her sobbing increased. Mido, without realising, tapped her slightly harder, which literally broke her silence.
"Mido, please!! Link is going to die, and there's nothing I can do about it! Nothing!!" She screamed, tears flowing down her cheeks, eyes reddened with grief.
"What? How?"
"Why should I tell you? By the way you act around him, I wouldn't be surprised if you were pleased by the news. You're just a selfish, empty little man!" She yelled the last part with great alacrity, and then buried her head in her hands. Mido noticed that she was shaking.
"If you want to know, Ganondorf is going to poison him." She muttered, voice muffled by her hands.
Mido stopped still for a second. Sure, Link was never one that he thought he would be concerned about, but poisoned? No one deserved that fate.
"What if he calls you by ocarina? Then you can tell him, can't you? No matter where he is, you can still communicate with him."
Saria rose, a smile hovering on her features, blinking away tears. She ran over and hugged Mido happily.
"Oh Mido, you're such a genius! I'm so sorry about what I said."
"You apologies are accepted of course." He blushed a little under Saria's embrace. He could keep up with this.
Her face creased into one of worry, as realisation dawned.
"What happens if he doesn't play it? Then what will happen?" Tears began to form again self-consciously. Mido wondered if he would have reacted the same way if it were he in the current situation. He knew that it would be of less importance to her.
"Don't give up, Saria. You know he will always ask for your advice." He gulped, slightly irritated. This was totally out of character for him. *** Pressure finally got to Ganondorf's head. Sho was released from his bedchambers, as the wailing inside them drove him mad.
Nothing seemed to calm him down; he needed someone to reassure him that his power was justified; commanding people seemed to keep him alive.
He used to be gorging on power, now he was starved, and needed to source to eliminate the famine. He knew the concept that could rival power. Courage could. Like all bullies or holders of power, courage could easily overcome.
Link.
He snarled, knowing that he would come. Ganondorf was weakened, starved. An open wound.
"Bring the herbalist, now!" He yelled to a passing Gerudo, who hastily obeyed. The plan was being put into action.
