The Story of love part 2

She was lost. She was astonished to find that she was walking on crystal. Above her was a shimmering golden bridge. It was almost not there, like wind made visible. She wondered where to go next, where to turn. She checked on the fairies that had come with her through the portal of the dead body of the Great Deku Tree. Tatl, now pissed, Ella, tinker, merryweather, all were fine.

"How could you! You dare to stuff me into a POUCH!"

"Tatl?"

"WHAT?"

"Shut. Up."

She sat down to contemplate what to do next. Her love was gone. She did not know where he was. She thought this felt suspiciously like an adventure. She did not want to end up like her father, famous but unhappy. She figured he must have made a bad decision. So all she had to do was choose the right thing, always. Oh boy. This was not gonna be fun.

"Under a bridge for Farorea herself… that must be it!" cried Ella suddenly.

"WHAT?!?! You told her the Right of Passagana?!?!?"

"Umm… yeah, I guess"

"YOU IDIOT!!"

"Shut up, Tatl. I can take you. You're nothing but a big bully."

"Come over here and say that!"

"Umm, fairies? What's a Rite of Passagana"

"That rhyme. It tells of the one that will save us all."

"Oh, than it's all right, that can't be me, I'm just trying to save Miaku."

"Oh, ok then."

"ok. So. If we follow the rhyme, we may find him. Assuming that the enemy knows the rhyme, but since he had a fairy…"

"Trust a fairy to notice that. So he probably pickled the safest place to hide him, at the end of the rhyme. Besides, the one the rhyme is for probably came along a thousand years age. It could even have been Daddy. So we're safe, then. So. Up high on a shelf…. Can you 4 fly me up there between you? If I leave my pack, I'm pretty light…\'

"We can try"

They managed to get up there pretty successfully.

"Ok, now look for a shelf. "

A FEW HOURS LATER

"Umm. Hmm. I'm bored. I'm gonna try and summon help on the Ocarina. You 4 take a break."

And she took out her ocarina and decided to play Saria's song. And she did.

"What? Do you want to talk to me?"

"Saria? But you're dead!"

"Oh. No. That may be my real body, but my spirit still guards Gannondorf. I just died here. There I'm all right. But burning feels weird. I don't suggest you try it. Hay, you're not Link! Who told you this song!?!?!?"

"Oh, no, your sage-ship. Please don't kill me with your magical powers of the Forest! I'm sorry. I'm Sarah. I'm the princess. I'm stuck on a ledge and I had read that you helped my father a lot but I shouldn't have contacted you, oh wise one."

Saria couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, please! I'm just a Kokorian, no more. Please don't patronize me. "

"Nonsense! You're a SAGE!!"

"And? I'd like to be your friend. You may even be a sage, being my namesake and the daughter or two triforce keepers."

"Me, a sage? Milady?"

"Oh, stop that nonsense RIGHT NOW!! I'm not nobility, you are, so don't go 'miladying' me. And I know you didn't call me just to bow and scrape before me. Din, I hate the whole 'all powerful goddess' routine."

"Umm, right. I'm stuck… kind of... umm… Have you seen a shelf?"

"Just Naryu's. Why do you need a shelf?"

"NARYU!!! That's the next line in the poem! Can you get me there?"

"You're standing on it!"

"I am?"

"Din's bridge, Naryu's shelf, Faroroea's wind-crystal, the people here name everything in triplicate. After the gods. "

"great. Umm, I'm supposed to meet her or something…"

"Check your left hand."

"Why… ooh!"

"Bye!"

"Don't…"

But Saria had gone in a bubble of Kokori laughter. Sarah's left hand bore a faded, dim, hazy triforce mark. It was Naryu's mark. It was the triforce of wisdom. But it was barely there. She wondered for a minute. Then she pressed her hand to it.

She was falling, falling, falling!! No, she was upside-down. That's better. She was flying! Rising at a swift rate. Her sisters flew on before her. But she felt a strange reluctance to leave this beautiful place her and her sisters had created. So she returned, and dropped something in the forest. Then, she rubbed her hands together, and sparks flew out, and they fell, then stopped, and never touched ground, and became fairies. And then she left, knowing that she herself could be reborn as fairy whenever she chose. She named them after her sister, with the hopes that they would ride the winds and be fleet of wing. Then she too, departed.

She was back on the crystal ledge. "Whoa. So Naryu created the fairies. And…" She stopped. There was one extra fairy on the ledge. "Hi!"

"Naryu?!?!?!"

"Yeah, but shhh! Don't tell Din."

"umm, ok."

Then, a crystal field surrounded all of them, and Naryu shoved Sarah off into a large canyon. Upon landing, however, they were not hurt. Sarah recognized the spell as Naryu's love. But she was more preoccupied with the cave in front of her. The spell seemed to last for a lot longer than intended. It was still up as they journeyed into the dark cave.

The cave was darker than dark. It was so dark the fairies made no impression, no shadows. They simply were, dimmer than usual, and did not cast any light. Except for Naryu. She was so bright it hurt to look at her. She pressed them to go onwards, onwards, into the darkened tunnel. It felt hard to breathe. It would make the bravest men claustrophobic. It penetrated their muscles and made each step a lot harder than it should. The fairies grew dimmer by the second. Sarah felt a piece of her shrink and die with each step. Naryu landed on her shoulder and helped her regain her strength.

After a long while, when the fairies were in her hat and tunic and emitting almost no light to save their energy, Naryu told them to be quiet. She crept along until they reached, suddenly, full light. There was a large room, with great stone doors. On one wall was Miaku II.

He had cuts and bruises and could barely walk. He was severely dehydrated. And he was chained by his feet and hands to the wall. Sarah could see that his limbs were being stretched. He was in constant agony. But she managed to release him, and Naryu healed him, and he passed out from sheer exhaustion. The fairies, under Naryu's instruction, went about creating a warp rift. As an afterthought, Sarah grabbed something clear and triangular from a table before entering and leaving to go home.

EPLAUGE:

Something was wrong. They fell much, much too far to be real. Everything was wrong, sickeningly wrong. The fairies were panicked. Naryu was gone. Miaku and Tinker were taken by some strange being. The girls landed with a bump and looked about a world which was not their own.
