Author's Note: Finally, the action/adventure/suspense part of my story is starting! I really like to the Link and Saria Ocarina thing!

No one could speak. They all stared at the Sage before them. He was the one from the legend; he was the legendary Darkness Sage. The one they were supposed to kill was right in front of them.

" I should have known. Though I didn't expect some pretty boy like you to show up." Link stated in a mocking tone.

" No need to flatter me!" 

The Sage of Darkness had black hair, which was slicked back. He wore a black cape with an indigo blue interior. He wore a black long sleeve with a turtleneck top, which had a dark blue stripe on each side. From the clothing around his neck, a dark blue lined cover the top and fell down in front of him. It made a turn to the right, ending at his waist. On his shoulders were two pieces that resembled melted plastic, with a dark blue jewel in the middle of both. He wore matching slacks with the same stripe on the sides. 

" Pretty boy isn't a compliment."

" What do you want?" Saria quickly changed the subject.

" Who, what else?" the Sage answered.

" Me?" Saria was taken back by this answer.

The Sage of Darkness shot a blast at Mido, grabbed Saria's hand, and shot a blast at Link's stomach.

" LINK!!!!" Saria cried just before the two Sages disappeared.

" SARIA!!!!" Link cried, " NO!!!!!!"

Link pounded his fist onto the ground, cursing the Sage of Darkness.

" DAMN YOU!!"

" LINK!" cried Mido, " CALM DOWN!" 

Link took a deep breath and stared at Mido. The remained silent until Link's gaze fell back to the floor.

" I should have protected her better. DAMN IT!" Link pounded on the ground once more.

" It wasn't your fault, things happen..." Mido began.

" NO! I let this happen! I...I shouldn't have just stood there talking to the guy!" Link interrupted.

" Look, we'll get her back," Mido placed his hand on Link's back, " I promise."

************************

" Let me go!" Saria screamed.

" Shut-up! I'll let you go later!" the Sage barked back.

Saria held a green blast in her hand, but before she could attack, the evil Sage grabbed her arm.

" Now, now, Saria, you should know better than to attack me," he released her hand.

" Let go of me!"

" If you shut-up, maybe I'll let you live longer!" he threw her into a dark chamber and locked the Iron Gate. " Keep quiet in there!"

When the Sage left, Saria slid her back down the wall and began to cry.

" Link...help me."

************************

" Link, try to think of a place Saria might be," Mido suggested.

" I have a better idea, I'll just ask her," Link pulled out his Ocarina and began to play " Saria's Song."

************************

A soft melody began to ring in Saria's mind.

" That song, Link!" Saria pulled out her Ocarina and used her melody to play back her thoughts.

" Link, this is Saria...Can you hear me?"

" Saria! Thank the goddesses! Are you alright?"

" I'm fine, what about you?"

" Just a little sad that's all."

" Ha, thought so! Link, are you hurt?"

" Only a little, you?"

" Um," Saria looked down at her arm, which was bleeding. " I'm fine."

" Where are you?"

" I'm not sure, I think I'm in some kind of Shadow World."

" Shadow World? Well, maybe Impa can help."

" Good idea!"

Loud footsteps were heard from outside Saria's chamber.

" Oh no, he's back! Gotta go, I love you!"

" Saria..." Link was interrupted.

" Stupid girl!" a loud whip smacked against Saria's body.

" Ahhhhhh!"

************************

The scream Link heard caused him to worry even more.

" Saria," Link stared down at his Ocarina as hot tears spilled from his broken-hearted eyes. " Don't give up, I'll save you, I promise."

" Hey, what happened?" Mido asked.

Link stood up and began to walk away with that determined look on his face.

" Get your stuff, you're leaving."

" Leaving? Where the hell are we going?"

" To see Impa, and to save Saria."
