Chapter 6
The mist of the early morning was slipping through the forest, quiet and unassuming as it blanketed the ground, undisturbed save two horses and their three riders. Malon tried to give Zelda an encouraging look as they trudged through the forest, hoping they'd find their way to Impa and, if they were lucky, Link. Even with her face hidden it was obvious the Queen was troubled, and understandably. Malon herself was enraged about what had befallen her home of Hyrule, but Zelda had the responsibility of leading Hyrule... Zelda gave her a weary look but still managed to appear composed, doubtless to reassure the only one of her subjects she could account for.
The only slightly amusing thing about the situation was Saria, lying in Zelda's arms asleep. Even after being alive twenty-three years she still seemed so...
"Childish... Abosolutly childish..." Zelda murmered as she shifted Saria in her arms, which were starting to feel stiff and uncomfortable.
Malon smiled a slow, contemplative smile. "Well, isn't it a good thing to have someone who can see something from the eyes of a child, yet understand in full what is happening? I think it gives us a unique perspective on this situation... At least when she is awake."
"What deep thoughts you commoners have!" Zelda exclaimed in a chiding tone.
"Ha! You'd be suprised what philosphical thoughts can enter ones mind while cleaning up after the horses, or milking cows!" Malon replied with a grin, feeling a rush on energy at finally speaking to someone in a manner that wasn't wholly depressing.
Ruto examined Aleka's left arm, silently wishing she had something that could be used in an attempt to use as a splint for the girl. Aleka barely seemed to notice Ruto as she continued listening to Darunia, slightly awed, but for the most part enjoying the stories of Link's adventures collecting the Spiritual Stones and the Sages Medallions. Ruto suppressed a laugh, noting that anyone who mistook Aleka and Link as true blood relatives would be justified. The way the two acted was so very similer it created a very strong illusion of actual resemblance.
"Woah, wait a minute now, who the heck is Nabooru?" Aleka cut in, pointing out one of the many things that Darunia had left out.
"Didn't you ask that a few minutes ago?" Ruto asked, pretending to sound distracted.
"Your names all sound exactly alike to me, and this guyt guy tell a story to save his ass. I mean, geez, I don't even know who Link is when he tells it!" Aleka pointed out with a broad grin.
Ruto had to agree, Darunia seemed far from capable of elaborating on a story unless he was in it or it was some form of Goron fairy tale from his child hood... Ruto was just begining to smile at the thought, when suddenly the three seemed forced back into the present as six of the shadows slipped silently into the cell, grabbing each of the three captives. One held Ruto, four held Darunia and one held Aleka. They guided up a flight of stairs before they were seperated.
Ruto caught a panicked look in Aleka's eyes and felt as if her heart was breaking, there was probobly little need for the girl as far as Dark Linkwas concerned, two sages were probobly enough to lure the Hero of Time to him... Ruto shuddered, not wanting to think that the girl was being taken to her death.
"Link!"
Saria jerked from her sleep, not realizing she'd cried out and caused a near heart attack for her two companions. She smiled sweetly and yawned, pointing to their right. "I think we should go that way." She said as she yawned.
A soft pink light that had been curled up against her chest flitted its wings nodding it's head in agreement. Her two soft, green eyes twinkled slightly, as she fluttered up to rest on Saria shoulder.
"Do they know something we don't...?" Malon asked Zelda, raising an eyebrow at the odd behavior of the girl and the fairy.
"Asli and I just hear the trees talking is all, and they are talking about Link." Saria said, suddenly seeming very alert and curious about their surroundings. She hardly noticed the slightly envious looks the other two gave her for her energy.
Suddenly Saria lept off the horse, running straight in the direction she'd pointed out moments ago. Asli, Saria's fairy, followed behind, but kept her pace slower, repeatedly signaling for the two Hylians to follow.
Link, just woken up and ready to argue once again with Impa that he must seek out Aleka, turned just in time two see a green blur with two huge green-blue eyes just before it tackled him laughing with relief. He looked down, recognizing Saria's perpetually youthful features in a heart beat. He felt himself whoop with joy, suddenly realizing how much he'd missed his old friend.
Suddenly the smile fled Saria's face. "Dark Link has your daughter..."
Author's rant: Yeah, a shorter chappy, I didn't have to much inspiration this time... Writers block perhaps. Well, reveiw and give your opinions, advice and other stuff you wanna see in this fic.
