Sorry for taking so long. I have a perfectly good reason why this took so
long, and you're not going to be hearing it (partly because I don't know
what it is). The spacing better be right this time, otherwise, I swear, I'm
going to cry. Enjoy and review!

Saria sat in front of the temple playing her song on the ocarina as she always does. The song normally brought up her mood and the mood of others around her making the place seem livelier. But, the song today seemed depressing, having the opposite effect on things, making the place seem dead, as if someone had just died. To Saria, someone did die, her hope, and her happiness.
However, there was someone very happy nearby. Loki, who was flying towards Saria at great speed, and was yelling "Saria! Saria! Saria!" Loki went through hell trying to find out about a way to make a Kokiri lose their eternal childhood. He read more books than an old wizard would in his lifetime.
"What do you want?" asked the depressed Saria, almost scornfully while looking at the ground beneath her feet, not caring enough about her fairy's presence to even look up.
"I found a way you can become an adult!" Loki said. His tone was very odd to Saria because he was rarely happy or enthusiastic about anything.
"Ha Ha. Really funny Loki. I never knew you could be this cruel," said Saria, not believing a word her fairy companion said. He was never happy and rarely ever tries to help her. What makes things so different now?
"I'm serious! You can become a Hylian!" the little fairy said. It didn't look as though it was convincing her, so he decided to add in, "That means Link can think of you to be more than just a child!"
That seemed to do the trick. "Re. Really?" Saria asked, with a reborn tone of hope in her voice. She looked up at Loki, which startled him because he wasn't expecting to see a tear stained face. He had to wonder how long she cried for.
"Yeah! But." Loki said before being interrupted.
""Let me guess. There's a catch," she said only losing a little hope.
"No, it's just that it's a little long to explain" he replied. "You see, I didn't find this in some cryptic and archaic spell book. I found it in a book that teaches you the customs and biology of the people and creatures of Hyrule"
"Is that what all those books were for earlier?" Saria asked remembering the pile of books in her home before she left.
"Um . . . yeah" he admitted, feeling very embarrassed about putting that much work in trying to help her.
"Thank you so much!" she yelled, very happy about Loki's thoughtful gesture. She got up and tried to hug the little fairy. But he flew away quickly.
(Warning: This next part will be very boring as it explains a lot about Kokiri and how they are born without parents)
"Don't even try it! Just sit down so I can explain" Loki said as Saria sat back down on the tree stump. "You see, Kokiri are the exact same as Hylian children with only the exception of a fairy companion and eternal childhood. The only hint that showed that Link was not a Kokiri was that he had no fairy until he was 10. Anyway, the reason why Kokiri have the gift of eternal childhood is that Kokiri are actually Will-O-Wisps in a humanoid form"
"What's a Will-O-Wisp?" asked Saria who was listening to every word being spoken.
"A Will-O-Wisp, is a spirit of a dead child" Loki explained.
"So Kokiri are actually undead?" asked Saria.
"Um. well sort of. See, you don't really look like the Will-O-Wisp's original body, but you are its age. A Kokiri grows until it reaches the age of the Will-O-Wisp was when it died. That's why Kokiri stop growing at different ages" he explained. "The Will-O-Wisp always goes in one direction after creation, it always heads towards the Great Deku Tree, oh, and by the way, Will-O-Wisps are usually only visible at night. Anyway, they travel towards the Great Deku Tree so they can be put in a body again"
"How does that happen?" Saria asked not seeming bored at all.
"The Great Deku Tree is a divine creature. He's been around for almost as long as the goddesses have. He has divine powers and can create a body without needing biological parents. The only other thing he needs, is a Will-O-Wisp, otherwise, the baby will simply grow like an ordinary Hylian with no parents. He always creates a new body every time a Will-O-Wisp has come to him. So let's say if there was a maniac who went around in every person's home and killing their children, well. let's just say that the Kokiri population would double"
"Why didn't more Kokiri appear in the past 7 years? I mean, Ganondorf did kill many children," she asked.
"The Great Deku Tree was dead so they simply went to the Underworld" he explained.
"So, how do Kokiri die?" Saria asked.
"A number of ways: leaving the forest, getting lost in the woods or if the Will-O-Wisps move on naturally" He explained.
"So, how can I become a Hylian" Saria asked, a little confused.
"It's as simple as asking the Great Deku Tree to remove the Will-O-Wisp from you and let you grow up as a normal Hylian would." Loki explained.
Saria seemed to have lost a lot of hope. "But, the Great Deku Tree is dead" she said sadly, despair returning to her tone.
"Don't worry. Because when Ganondorf is defeated, time will be reset to the day Link disappeared, so everyone, except for the sages and the triforce holders, will forget of Ganondorf's great evil!" he said reassuring her.
"What if he's not defeated?" Saria said with despair still present in her tone.
Loki went up to her and said, "Have faith in Link, and have faith that your love for him will prevail over evil"
