Author's Note: I really like my legend in this one! The cliffhanger is
maddening!!!
" Let's go you guys!" Saria exclaimed, suddenly cheerful.
" Okay, let's go," Mido said smiling at Saria.
Link and Mido stood up and waited for Saria to rise as well. After walking a few steps, Saria collapsed on the floor.
" Saria!" Link rushed over to where she lay and lifted her into his arms. " Guess you're too weak to walk, that's okay, I'll carry you!"
A weak smile formed on Saria's face as Link said this to her. They were in front of the new Deku Tree in a few minuets. Link placed Saria on her feet and wrapped her right arm around his should and placed is hand around her waist to support her.
" You summoned me Great Deku Tree?" Saria spoke to the Forest Guardian.
" Yes, I have summoned thy ones before me," the Deku Tree's voice boomed in the meadow. " Come hither, I have information ye must know. Will you hear thy words of thy Great Deku Tree?"
" Of course!"Â
" Listen carefully my children. Long ago, when Hyrule was being created by the Goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore, the Ancient Sages emerged. The Sages of now lived in a past life which at was that time. The kind-hearted Forest Sage created her domain, the Kokiri Forest, and all of the forests of Hyrule. The royal Water Sage gave birth to all water in Hyrule, the mighty Sage of Fire created the fire of Hyrule. The clever Sage of Spirit aided Farore in the creation of life and the mysterious Sage of Shadows created the darkness in the sky and the shadows of creatures. The lovely Sage of Time placed every deed of the Sages in order and balanced this world. When the Sages departed for the Sacred Realm an evildoer appeared. This man had many followers with him, each one strong beyond imagination. It was then that the ever-observant Sage of Forest turned back to the land. She had the other Sages follow and when they arrived they were attacked. Strange men come forth from the shadows, six in all. The Sages were equal with these creatures, but when the leader faced the Sage of Time, this Sage was nearly killed. The Sage of Light and Fire joined forces to see the man's face. He revealed himself to be none other than the Sage of Darkness. This evil Sage tried with all his might to kill each good Sage, but with their combined forces, he was no match for them. After he was sealed into the shadows for all eternity, the Sages returned to the Sacred Realm. The Sages awoke from their slumber when they would be reborn into the Sages we know now. So it is true that the Sages began their life the moment Hyrule was created. When the evil was gone the were able to return in a much later time. Now the Six Sages must find each other once more for the Sage of Darkness has broken out of his tomb of shadows."
" So I was a Sage a long time ago?"Â
" Yes, thou has been thy Legendary Sage for many years. Even though ye lost all memory of that time, you have and always will be thy Forest Sage."
" So, we have to gather the Sages again?" Link spoke.
" Yes, thou must gather thy Sages before thy evil finds thy Sages first."
" Why did you call me?" Mido stood up very confused. " I mean, this sounds like a Sage and Hero of Time kind of thing than a Kokiri Leader thing."
" Thy leader of thy Kokiri must aid Link and Saria in their quest."
" ME?!"
" HIM?!"
Saria let out a slight laugh when hearing Mido yell at Link for saying something that Mido had said a second before him.
" What do mean? I'll probably be more of a help than you!"
" Get a life Mido! You were shocked he said your name so I wouldn't be talking!"
" Did Saria hit you too hard with a Deku Stick this morning?"
" I wish she did! Then I'd be too stupid to listen to you!"
" Take that back!"
" No!"
" Cut it out!" Saria shouted. " You two are acting like little kids!"
" So, what are Saria and I going to do when the quest takes out of the forest?" Mido asked, now trying to calm down.
" Thou may leave thy forest when an adult."
" May I remind you that...WE DON'T GROW OLDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
" Look at thy Sage of Forest, she is in an older stage. Dost thou believe he cannot be that way?"
" You have a point."
" Link, take out thy Ocarina of Time."
" I know where to go from here," Link played the " Song of Time."
Mido was surrounded by a blue light. As the song raged on, he felt his body grow taller, stronger. He could sense the change of his outfit. When he opened his eyes, he was amazed at what he saw. He was no longer a little boy, he was more of an adult. His hair style changed, it was more like the other boys, it didn't cover his eyes. His outfit was much like Link's, but he wore shorts and didn't wear any white. He wore brown boots and he had a few freckles on his face. The song ended as the light faded. Link and Saria looked at their new companion in amazement.
" Wow!" Mido said while looking at himself.
" Oops, looks like I messed this one up!" Link laughed when he saw Mido.
Saria quickly jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow. " Be quite," She whispered.
" We better get going you two," Link spoke with caution, not wanting to get hit by Saria again.Â
As they headed out of Deku Meadow Saria felt a disturbance in the air. She never let her eyes wander away from the Lost Woods. They would be forced to make a few stops along the way because all of the Kokiri, when they saw the new Mido, asked him questions. They were almost at the Kokiri Bridge when Link looked behind him to see Saria all spaced out. He tapped Mido on the shoulder and pointed to Saria.
" Look, she keeps staring at the Lost Woods' entrance,"Â he whispered to Mido.
" But why?" Mido whispered back.
" I don't know, I'll ask her," both of them stopped walking and Saria stopped, she turned her head to face them.
" What?!" she stared at the two men before her completely confused.
" Saria, can I talk to you alone?" Link asked her.
" Sure," Saria responded with an innocent face.
Link lead Saria behind her home. She lend against the back of her house while Link stood up.
" What did you want to talk about?"
" Saria, you're hiding something from me," Link look at her with a serious face.
" Hiding something, what are you talking about?" Saria tried to look confused, it didn't work.
" You now exactly what I'm talking about!" Link began to grow angry.
" I'm not hiding anything from you!" Saria said with a weak smile.
" YES YOU ARE!" Link yelled as he slammed his hand against the house. His hand slammed down between Saria's head and shoulder.
" Okay, what am I'm hiding from you?"
" A little something called suicide," Link barked back.
" How...how did you find out?" Saria looked down at her feet.
" Nami told me," Link said softly. He removed his hand from the house and lifted her chin up so that she looked into his eyes. " Why did you do it?"
To be continued...
" Let's go you guys!" Saria exclaimed, suddenly cheerful.
