Chapter #1 the dream
"The end is near," the Great Deku Tree couldn't get that thought out of his head. For weeks and weeks of uneasy sleep is what plagued the Deku Tree.

The same dream never changing.
there is a forest healthy and green, with music playing, and birds chirping. All the sudden all of the trees wither, the music stops, no sound is heard. It is no longer a happy, safe place, but a deserted, dangerous wasteland.

Then a little sprout pops up and a faint melody is playing. Then a storm comes lighting flashes thunderclaps. The sprout is tattered. Then the ground catches fire, then a shadowy figure emerges in the middle of the flames, laughing an evil laugh.

Then one night the dreams stopped which put the Deku Tree's heart at ease.
********

We see an eight-year-old Link and Saria playing on the hill by the lost woods.

"Tag your it!" said little Link pushing Saria almost knocking her over.

"Your Going to pay for that Link!" Saria said running behind Link. She jumps on his back and they both fall into the Lost Woods.

"Oh no!" shouted Link getting up and looking around, "Which way did we come in?" Link was now very upset.

"Don't worry Link I come in here all the time," Said Saria reassuringly.

"Fine then, which way do we go?" asked Link unconvinced.

"Hmm.. let me think." Said Saria apparently listening for something.

"This way!" Saria said running though the woods.

"Wait up!" said Link out of breath. When he looked around he saw they were now in the Sacred Forest Meadow.

"Wow! I thought this place was only a myth." Link said feeling bad for doubting the know-it-all brothers.

"Come on!" said Saria weaving through the maze.

Link followed closely wondering where they were going. Then they stopped and stared at the staircase then climbing to the wide-open space.

"This is the entrance to the Forest Temple were the sprits of the forest are to be found." Saria said with a smile.

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

Years passed everyday the same as the last. Link and Saria were the best of friends.

You would often find them at the forest temple playing their ocarinas together. As time passed Link started to grow; while Saria stayed the same.
Link was confused, why was he getting to big? Everyone around him was the same as always.

So one day Link decided to get some answers.

"Great Deku Tree I come to you today with a troubled heart," Link said humbly bowing before his mentor and friend. He had been coming to the Deku tree for answers a lot more often lately.

"What is wrong Link?" asked the Deku Tree concerned.

"For a while now I have noticed I am very different then the rest ok the Korki. Great Deku Tree why am I so much bigger than all my friends?" Link asked.

"Link I guess it is time for you to learn of your beginning." the Deku Tree said softly.

"My beginning what does that have to do with anything?" Link said confused.

"Link fourteen years ago my mind was very troubled. I was having terrible dreams of war and fighting. Somehow I knew danger was just outside these protective walls. Then a woman and child from Hyrule came to this forest for refuge. The woman was injured badly. I knew she wouldn't make it long. Before she passed she begged me to care for her baby as if he were one of my own. I have kept my promise and that child was you Link!"

Link couldn't believe this. All his life he thought he was a Korki, but now he finds out he is from Hyrule.
"I know what you have been feeling. I know you feel like you need to leave the forest, I give you my blessing. Goodbye my friend."

Link knew he had to leave the forest, but he had to see someone first.
************
"Saria?" Link shouted.

He couldn't find Saria anywhere.

It was late now so he didn't think she would be at their secret spot.
"HELP!!!" the forest rang with her voice. He knew she needed him.

The voice came from the Lost Woods he could tell. He ran through the Lost Woods until finally coming to the secret spot. She was still yelling.

He was running as fast as he could, but the screaming stopped.

He finally came to the stairs and climbed them find a wolfos tearing the flesh of a bloody Saria.

"Hey! Leave her alone I'm bigger Eat Me!" the wolfos looked up at Link and started charging at him.

Link, unarmed, had to think fast. He jumped out of the way and picked up a stick and swung it at the wolfos. He hit it but not hard enough. The wolfos jumped at link and took a chunk out of his arm. Link was then feeling weak. A sharp stone caught his eye, he grabbed it and stabbed the wolf right in the heart causing it to fall over dead. Link, now covered with blood, limps over to a cold Saria.

"Link I'm not going to make it," Saria said struggling.

"What? Of course you are going to make it. You have to make it," Link said his eyes full of tears.
"Link, listen I know you have to leave the forest. There is something very evil looking for you I overheard him in the Forest Temple. He was the one who had the wolfos attack me. You must stop him Link. I will always be...with...you...Good...Bye..." Saria said no more.

Link sat there crying for what felt like an eternity. When he was done mourning he gathered all the Korki together and buried Saria right there at their secret spot.

****** After all the Korki left Link sat there holding her Ocarina, her most prized possession, he couldn't let it go. He put the Ocarina in his pocket and listened to the sounds of the forest.

"Link..." there was a faint voice in the air that kept calling him.
"Link...don't give up hope." the voice was getting louder, and he could have swore is was coming from the Forest Temple.

"Link...follow me."

Link had to follow the voice, so he climbed the pole and entered the temple.

The voice was clear now but he didn't know whose voice it was. Somehow he felt drawn to it.

The voice led him to an open room. He walked to the center of the room and there was a chest on the floor. Link opened it, finding himself looking at none other than the fairy bow. He then realized Saria was the voice leading him to the legendary weapon. He wanted his friend back but somehow he knew she was ok and he left the temple and the forest never to return again.
