Link couldn't help but stare in fright for almost a full minute after Saria
disappeared. He stood in such horror, he couldn't hear Mido's scream, and
he couldn't hear him call for help. He stood, fixed at the window, not
believing his eyes.
As his consciousness slowly came back to him, he fixed his glaze on Mido.
"Help! Help! Somebody help! Saria's been taken!!"
-Why does he yell like that? All that is going to get is a load of people staring about and being worried. not what we need in the forest, not with the Kokiri! That's castle stuff!-
Link looked about his room. There was a cow standing in the corner. He walked up to then cow and took his ocarina out of his pocket and let out the soft tune of Epona's song. The cow filled a glass bottle with Milk, Link drank the entire thing in a hurry, and if he was going into another battle- he would need some strength!
* * * Meanwhile, the children of Kokiri forest were exiting their tree houses' to see what was going on. They all listen to Mido tell the horrible story of what happened.
"Mido please, tell us again exactly what happened!"
The girl who always sat upon the ledge over the forest shop, who went by the name of Madi and had always idolized Mido in a way, was listening to Mido anxiously.
"Well, Saria was in a horrible state, so we took a walk to talk about what was wrong when she noticed. a dark.. Black and purple. very scary and mean cloud, hanging on the cliff to the lost woods. Saria suggested we go and see what it was, I told her we shouldn't! but she kept going on saying that she ought to have a little look, after all, how could her day get any worse , now that Link *the crowd gasped and looked over to Links house* has completely ruined my day talking about my love behind his back!"
There were shouts of all kinds coming from all about.
"So it's Links fault AGAIN!"
"Why would he do such a thing?"
"What was he saying about Big Boss"
"I SAID NOTHING!"
The entire crowd gasped and turned to look for the menacing voice they had heard. They turned to see none other than Link himself.
" I saw what happened Mido, and it was nothing of the sort you speak about!"
Madi spoke up;
" HOW DARE YOU SPEAK BAD OF THE BIG BOSS OF KOKIRI, MILO IS A GREAT BIG BOSS"
"All I am saying is that Saria is missing. An evil big scary guy took her! We have to get her back! Is anyone with me?"
"Don't listen to him!" Mido spoke up, " to help her we would have to exit Kokiri! You know the rules about that! Once you leave- you're never welcomed back unless the mighty Deku Sprout says that you can come back in! And he doesn't like traders! You saw how hard it was for Link to return- and he is actually Hyrulian!!! He belongs out there! Imagine how hard it would be for a Kokiri trader to get back within the forest. IMPOSSBLE! No there is not way we can save my beloved Saria now, not anyway possible! We would never be welcomed back!!!"
Link couldn't believe his ears, If Mido loved Saria so much. then why couldn't he risk his own image to save her?
"Well you all may not want to risk your own popularity and self-image to save a friend who truly needs our help- but I am! I leave at sundown; those willing to join me may come! Not that I expect any of you to show!"
On that note, Link turned around and heavily walked back to his tree house. Once inside, he mingled around, trying to burn off some of the heavy anger that was set upon him. He began to load up his things that he would need for his adventure. Slingshot, boomerang, Hyrulein shield, a well supply of deku nuts. He looked sadly upon the Bow and Arrow, with the light, fire, and water arrows. He couldn't wait until he was big enough to use them again. Then his eyes set upon the ocarina of Time, a gift from the princess of Hyrule, Princess Zelda. A thought suddenly came to him- if he played Saria's song, then he could talk to her through mind waves, and perhaps save her!
He began to play out the joyous notes of Saria's song; he didn't stop playing, even when he heard Saria's soft and calming voice come into his head.
-Link? Link is that you? Oh Link I'm so sorry about everything that happened this morning, please, you have to help me! -
-I want to help you Saria, but I don't know where to begin, and I don't know where to go for help-
- I can't tell you where I am, if I do- than Ganondorf will surely kill me! I can only use the power of the forest for so long before he finds a way to deflect it! You have to go to HYRULE CASTLE and visit the Princess's courtyard. Call for me again when you have gotten there, and Link, please be careful! -
-I will Saria, hang in there, you don't know how much it would mean if I lost you-
With that, Link ended Saria's song, and lost the connection to her. He placed the ocarina safely in his pocket, and looked outside. Then sun was setting- it was time to make the journey to Hyrule castle, and he would have to try to make it there before nightfall, or he would be spending the night in the fields of Hyrule, without a wink of sleep.
As his consciousness slowly came back to him, he fixed his glaze on Mido.
"Help! Help! Somebody help! Saria's been taken!!"
