Chapter two: The Most Amazing Sight

"This is great! I've never gone this fast before in my whole life!" Saria yelled over the sound of the wind and Epona's hoof beats.

She had never felt so free in her entire life. She laughed as she felt her green hair fly behind her, Link laughed as he held onto the reins, he was glad Saria was having a great time.

Link let out a whoop as he said to her, "you think this is fast? We aren't even going top speed!"

With that he urged Epona even faster. They weren't riding on the ground anymore. they were flying! Thought Saria. In no time they reached their first destination. Laughing as they walked up the up the dirt path from the castle town. Saria walking in front of Link, and Link following her leading Epona. They had been everywhere that day, Lon Lon ranch, Lake Hylia, Kakariko village, and Goron city. Now they headed to the gates of Hyrule castle. As they reached the tree by the side of the road Saria suddenly said in awe.

"This is the castle?! It's so beautiful! You don't know how lucky you are Link. You know Royalty personally! I'm surprised to why you still stick around in the woods!" Saria said in utter amazement.

She stared out at the high towers that seemed to touch the sky the marble walls and the lush gardens of the castle.

"Because the forest is my home as much as yours Saria. You know that I would never just abandon one of my friends,"

Saria not knowing what to say just smiled. She looked back at the sunset, suddenly realizing about what time it was,

"Uh oh the suns going down! Link shouldn't we be heading back to the woods now? I mean didn't you say the gates go up after dark? And the stallkids." asked Saria nervously,

but Link just laughed, "You think I would just let you see the outside of the castle and not see the inside of it. and not meet the princess?" "But I." Saria trailed off.

"What's wrong Saria? You think they wont let you in? I've been here many times I know the princesses guards, come on please?"

Said Link as he held out his hand. "Okay I hope I look okay." Said Saria.

She thought about she must have looked by then, with her dusty windblown hair, and messy clothes, she burst out laughing, clasping Link's hand in a sort of handshake he led her over to Epona and put her up in the saddle climbing up after her. As he did so he heard something. Link turned his head and looked around cautiously listening, he would've sworn he heard someone behind them but he dismissed the thought as the wind.

He whispered , "You'll be fine Saria, trust me." He led Epona into a trot as they entered the iron gates of the castle, unknowing that they were being followed.

Entering the front hall of the castle Saria suddenly shied and huddled close to her friend's side. The walls were an ivory color, but were covered in hanging tapestries. The guards stood like statues unmoving. Link walked right past them but Saria stopped for a few moments to look at them. She had never seen anybody stand so still.

"Wonder what will happen if I shot one of them?" Saria thought out loud.

She pulled out Link's old slingshot that he had given her when he got his new one, and aimed it at a guard's head but Link grabbed her by the arm and led her off.

"What were you doing anyways? Those guards are alive you know!" Link said annoyed.

"I wanted to see if they would move if I shot at them," Saria giggled with a devilish look on her face.

They passed through a hallway that was guarded by a troop of more evil looking guards, and this time Saria didn't bother stopping when they passed by them. Link led Saria up many staircases; Saria didn't bother asking where they were. He seemed to know where he was going. Finally they reached princess Zelda's hallway, which was guarded by ten or so guards on each side of the long hallway. Even Link seemed to tense up as the two passed by each pair of troops. Reaching the end of the hall Link knocked on the huge oak door. Saria shivered with fright as the door opened revealing the warm comfortable room behind the doors, as well as the princess Zelda herself. A roaring fire burned within her fireplace illuminating the whole room with it's light. Link bowed low and Saria curtsied as best she could, as the princess waved the pair inside. Link placed his shield and sword by the door then quickly made his way over to sit next to Zelda.

"So what brings you two here this late anyways?" Zelda asked as they seated themselves.

"Link wanted us to come and see you." Saria said in a childish manner. Link just turned away and blushed.

" I.I don't know what you're talking about Saria." Said link embarrassed.

Zelda and Saria turned to each other and laughed, which made Link blush even more.

"Hey Link your color is back. but I think you're a bit too red now," joked Saria. Rolling his eyes he walked out to the balcony, Saria nearly getting up to follow but decided to let him be,

" I hope I didn't say anything that got him mad," Saria said quietly.

Link opened the glass paned balcony doors. Walking out onto the balcony he felt the cool night air rush past his face. Leaning his elbows on the rail Link sighed and muttered to himself, "girls,"

he peered over the rail into the darkness below him thinking. The scenery around him started spinning so he griped the stone edge of the balcony. He was beginning to feel sick again.

"Not again," he moaned, he put his hand to his forehead and closed his eyes trying to shake the dizziness away.

When he opened his eyes the world was still once again,

"I guess I should go check to see what embarrassing things Saria is telling Zelda about me," Link muttered to himself.

As he turned his back to go inside, from the darkness of the night an arrow faster than the eye can see, darker than night, and quieter than death that had not one arrow head but two, came from nowhere and implanted itself deeply into Link's back. Link yelped as he felt the searing agonizing pain spread from the two arrowheads throughout his whole body. It was like he was being electrocuted, from the inside out. His skin felt like it was burning and freezing at the same time. He felt his every ounce of his strength and life being pulled from his very veins and what was taken was replaced with intense cold, colder than death that ran through his veins freezing Link. Then it was gone as quickly as it came. For a brief moment longer he stood there on the balcony looking at the stars, then fainted and knew nothing more.

*Cue thunder and Lightning* freaky. Or not? Ok now that you've read this please review! I want to know if I should continue this or not! Please!
