Chapter 6: Sentinel of the Desert
Link gaped at the woman before him. She knew why he was here?! That couldn't be! Their mission had been kept secret for fear of the enemy knowing.
"How?" was all he managed.
"I am a Sentinel. I know everything that happens, and why it happens. You would not comprehend if I told you in detail my ways of gathering knowledge," she replied.
Link just looked at the Sentinel, slightly baffled and utterly confused. The deep purple eyes sparkled with merriment, and the Sentinel let out a small laugh.
"I wonder why you, of all people, were chosen to lead this mission. You seem to be nothing more than a naïve fairy boy."
"Link?"
Link turned around to see Saria standing there, bewilderment in her eyes.
"Saria," he said gently, holding out his hand to her.
She walked toward him and Sentinel slowly and slipped her small white hand into his, standing partly behind him as she regarded the stranger fearfully.
"Ah, and this is the true core of this odd quest," the Sentinel breathed softly. "So, Sage of the Forest, are you truly powerful? Can you see the destiny that stretches before you?"
"Why do you ask the impossible?" Saria retorted. "None may see their destiny except the gods themselves."
"Ah, but you see, child, I can see your destiny. I know your fate."
Those words sent chills down Link's spine and filled him in fear of this strange being. Suddenly he heard stirring behind him, and Zelda awoke.
"Link? What are you doing?" she asked sleepily.
"Rise and shine, Princess," the Sentinel said mockingly.
Zelda leapt to her feet, ready to confront the stranger.
"What do you want?" she growled.
"I have only one thing to tell you all: the only evil you have to fear is the evil you bring inside you."
Suddenly, the Sentinel was gone, and the only sign of her presence was her words echoing in their minds. Zelda shivered and rubbed her arms vigorously, and Saria leaned closer to Link. What evil did they bring with them?

A/N: Sorry it's so short, I've been all out of creativity. I promise the next chapter will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer, but you'll have to be MAJORLY patient, cuz I'm kinda out of it right now.
