Saria was slowly stirring and groaned.  Her head was throbbing as was her shoulder, yet for some odd reason, she felt as though she were floating.  She slowly cracked open her eyes and let out a gasp of surprise, then winced from the pain of her shoulder. 

Saria looked around again and blinked a few times.  She really was floating!

"Where…where am I?"

A thick mist that seemed to be swirling in a slow circle around her surrounded her on all sides.  Her mind was about as foggy as she area around her. 

"Katya…Where's Katya?"

Saria looked around frantically, but the mist covered everything within two feet of her in a thick, white blanket.  She could not see the familiar glow of her fairy and began to grow increasingly nervous.

"Katya?" she asked tentatively.

There was no response.

"Katya!" she tried again, this time with a little more force.

Still nothing.

"KATYAAA!!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Saria floated there in silence for what seemed like days.  She had cried herself to sleep after realizing that Katya was probably, just like Link, and would never be seen again.  She had given up hope that anyone would be able to rescue her considering that even she didn't know where she was.  The darkness in her mind was growing increasingly stronger as the hours passed and she began to feel more and more empty.  She was no longer the cheerful girl the rest of the Kokiri knew her as, but an empty shell of what she once was.  Saria may have lost a few friends for different reasons over the years, but none were as close to her as Link and Katya.  Without them, her life was empty and dull.

"Yah!"

"Hey!  Look out!"

*CLANG*

"I told you so."

"Shut up…"

Saria suddenly became more alert and was straining to see if she wasn't imagining the voices.

"Awroo!!!"

*CLANG*

"Go for the tail! Go for the tail!"

"I heard you the first time!"

That voice…it's seems so familiar…but…how can it?  It doesn't sound like the voice of a Kokiri…but maybe they can help me anyways… "HELP!!!" she yelled.

The voices continued, but from no direction in particular.

She tried again, this time a little louder.

"They can't hear you…"

Saria drew in her breath sharply and looked around. "Who are you?"

"My name is of no importance to you my dearie…but you, on the other hand, are of great importance to my master if he is to conquer this pitiful land." The deep voice replied.

"Where am I?" Saria asked, ignoring the voice that echoed around her.

"Locked away…never to be released…"

"…How…am I of…great importance?" She asked, becoming nervous.

"You are one of the keys to my master's obtaining the triforce…you are also one of the few things that stand in his way of victory…" the voice hissed.

"Obtaining the what?  And for the last time, where are we really???" Saria asked with a hard edge to her voice. "Why won't you show yourself? And what do you mean 'locked away, never to be released?'"

"Ha…you are becoming too nosey for your own good…not that being quiet will do you any good either…heh…"

"If you aren't going to tell me anything useful, then go away!" Saria yelled into the mist. 

The blood drained out of her face when two, glowing red eyes suddenly materialized before her, followed by the bleached skull face and strong, muscular build of a man's body.  The creature before her wore mostly decorated, black armor and a long, beige cape.

"Your first question was who I was…I am now answering it for you…"

Saria turned away and shut her eyes tightly, trying to wish the creature away from her.

"Will you not look upon my body?  After all, it is a copy of what Hyrule's new master looks like…" the creature said, materializing beside Saria and taking a hold of her hand.

Saria tried to pull her hand away, but the creature's grip only tightened.  He suddenly embraced her small body tightly.  Saria could feel his cold breath on her neck.  She struggled briefly before his embrace tightened as well, making her breathing difficult.

"Do not try an escape!  My lord would kill me if you did…not that I have much to worry about…" He sneered. "I was given the same powers as my master, Ganondorf! I used his powers to bring and seal you here! You will never be powerful enough to break free of this space between dimensions! "

He looked at Saria, expecting a look of fear and hatred, but nearly fell over when all he received was a blank look and a stare.

"Space between dimensions? Did you seal yourself in here too?"

"Wha?  Of course not!  I'm projecting an image of myself into the space between dimensions!  Did you think I'd really waste my time coming in here for really?  By projecting my image here, I can talk to you and get other stuff done.

"Then…who are you really?"

"I am Phantom Ganon…my lord's most trusted servant…I will capture and destroy all the sages!  I shall not fail my master!" He cackled, before disappearing.

"What did he mean by that?  And who exactly is this Ganondorf?" Saria whispered to herself, and shivering as she recalled Phantom Ganon's cold, dead feeling against her skin. "Who are these 'sages' that he intends to destroy?"

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Three down and one left to go!"

Saria chuckled as she heard whoever the person was start cheering.  Even though she could not see the person, she could almost sense his feelings and actions from where she was.  That was rather strange for her, but she took advantage of it now to enjoy the presence of another soul, a soul unlike that Phantom Ganon.  From what she was hearing from the two travelers, they appeared to be exploring one of the rooms of the temple she had been in before Phantom Ganon had knocked her out; she was not sure which room in particular.  For some reason, the presence she felt was warm and felt almost…familiar. 

Why do I keep thinking that?  I've never met anyone who wasn't from some part of  the Kokiri Forest! Maybe I can get some answers from the person if I can ever get out of here.

"Hey! Look! Look look look!!!" she heard the female voice said excitedly.

"What?"

"Lookie! A dooooor…"

"I've already noticed…" Saria heard the man reply dryly. "Now, do you mind telling me how to get up there from down here?"

"Grow wings and fly?"

"Har har…"

Saria smiled the first true smile she had smiled in a long time.  For some reason, this pair seemed to remind her of Link and Navi, never really agreeing with each other, but still managing to get things accomplished anyways.  She grew somber again as she thought of herself and Katya.  Where could the little fairy have possibly gone?  She ran her fingers through her emerald green hair and chewed her lip in worry. 

How am I going to get out of here? Beating against walls to get their attention won't work because there aren't any walls in here…or out here…wherever this is…

She constantly felt like there was something she needed to know, but the information was never getting to her, as though something were blocking it from reaching her. 

That's it! All this floating around is really getting to me! And since when did I start sensing things?

A horse whinnied piercingly and Saria could hear its hooves pounding against the ground.  She also recognized Phantom Ganon's voice, taunting whatever poor soul he had managed to trap and attack for his own pleasure.

I wish I could see what was going on…Saria thought, folding her arms and drifting along. This is boring and very depressing…I wish I knew what had happened to Katya…*sigh*

"Aim for that one!"

*thwak*

"My bad, I meant the one to the right of it."

*thwak*

"Oh no!  He's not in that one anymore!"

"Grr…You're making me waste my arrows!!!"

"Try that --"

*thwak* "…ARGH!!!"

"Ooo, nice shot."

"Go for --"

*thwak* "AAARRRGHHH!!!"

"Are you going to listen to me or not???"

*thwak* "ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!!"

"Fine then! Don't listen to me!" the high pitched voice shrieked, loud enough that it penetrated even the thick fog of the space in between dimensions.

Saria could suddenly feel a faint pulsing in the mist and began to panic. 

What's happening?

A green light was glowing around her, faintly at first, but each time an arrow found its mark, it would glow a little bit brighter.

*thwak* "ARGH!!!"

What's going on?  What's happening to me? Saria thought, her emerald eyes widening in fear.  Suddenly, with a final cry of pain from Phantom Ganon, the green glow exploded into a bright light.

A/N: This is a really stupid fic, I know…^_^;;; I had nothing better to do so I decided to write this fic.  I know it's not accurate! It's not supposed to follow the storyline exactly, anyone can do a novel of the Ocarina of Time!

This was supposed to be one story, but I was late for the winter concert the other day and decided to just upload what I had at the moment.  If this had been one story, there'd be no need for stupid attempts at cliffhangers!!!

Phantom Ganon: *walks up with six arrows sticking out of his butt* WAH!!! You're mean!

Link0723: O_o;;;

Link: *gives Link0723 a copy of the script*

Link0723: *reads through it again* Yeah? So?

Saria: I sound so boring…

I think the story will only be about three chapters long…That means, the next chapter will most likely be my last unless I get some new ideas and decide to write more.
