Chapter 3
Saria and Kakariko
Link led the way toward Kakariko village as the sun was rising. Red light spilled over the field, creating long, black shadows. Malon grabbed Link's arm, stopping him. "See that circular building over there?" Said Malon pointing to a building with a stone wall around it. "That's where I live, that's Lon Lon Ranch!" She said as they both stared at it. "Speaking of home, why don't we go see Saria and tell her what's going on!" Navi said looking towards the forest. "S-saria? Who's that?" Malon said, looking surprised. "She's Link's friend from home." Navi said "She. damn." Malon said so only she could hear. "That's a good idea, she'll be excited!" Said Link, starting to make his way to the forest. Link let Malon lead, now. She looked sad and troubled; he wished he could do something. He matched Malon gait and peered over her shoulder to her face. "Something wrong?" She Link softly. ".No.just thinking." She said even softer than Link. "You're lying, what's up?" Link said, slowing down "I think you're minds on you're mom." "Um, yeah! I miss her." She said with a hint of relief, like Link had overlooked something obvious. "Look at it this way, at least you've got a family. I have nobody. All the Kokiri, except Saria, hate me! You, Saria and Navi are the only people in the world who like me! Heck, I'm never even gonna get married or grow up! So you've got it lucky!" Just as Link finished speaking they reached to forest. "You'll like Saria, she's real nice!" Said Link as he sped through the log. "I'm absolutely sure." Said Malon, trailing slowly behind. Malon looked around the forest with wonder. Her eyes followed the floating spirits. "Wow, it's beautiful!" Said Malon. "Hey, where's Saria?" Said Link. "So, you came back." Said a flat voice behind them. Link and Malon spun around to see a very unhappy Mido. "M-mido! I'm not interested in fighting you!!! Just looking for Saria!" Said Link, trying not to piss him off. "Who is this, Link?" Said Malon sweetly. "This is Mido" Said Link, trying to get away from Mido. "Hello Mido, do you know where Saria is?" Malon said as nicely as before. Link wondered why Malon was being nice to Mido. Link hated Mido, but Malon was so nice to him. Link wanted Malon to be nice to him, not Mido! "So you picked up a girlfriend, she looks good for you, just as dirty and strange!" Said Mido. "Why you! She's not my girlfriend! How could you say something bad about her, anyway? She's done nothing to hurt you and you are mean to her? She's really nice, not dirty, and she's spunky!!!" yelled Link at the top of his lungs. "Oh, sorry, forgive me, not girlfriend, BOYFRIEND!" Mido doubled over with laughter. This was just too much for Link; Mido had greatly insulted him and Malon. He jumped on Mido flailing his fists as hard as he could, trying to kill Mido. To his surprise, Mido was yelling in pain! Link stood up to see Mido cowering with a bloody face and Malon blushing slightly. Link couldn't believe it; he won a fight against Mido and made Malon proud of him. "No more! You've gotten strong!" Said Mido, tearing off in the other direction. "Thank you, Link! That was really brave!" Said Malon. "It was no problem! Let's go look in the Lost Woods for Saria!" Said Link, starting towards the top of the Kokiri Forest. The Lost Woods was perched at the top of the Kokiri Forest. It was a magical place where beautiful music could be heard playing sometimes. Strange creatures could be found playing in the few spots of sun shining through the tops of the trees. As Link approached the tunnel, he strained his ears for the haunting tune that sometimes floated from it. A familiar but strange song floated around Link's ears. "C'mon, hurry before it stops!" Said Link Grabbing Malon's hand and pulling her through the tunnel. "What stops?" Malon inquired. "Listen!" Link yelled excitedly, still pulling Malon through random tunnels "Do you hear that song? We need to follow the sound of it. Still not letting go Link led Malon left, right, forward, right, and left again. Then the music stopped and he heard a faint scream. Link slowed down, listened, then without thinking sped through the tunnel in front. They emerged into a sunny courtyard. There was a stone wall towering up before them and a gate blocked by spiked metal bars. Link slowed to a halt and looked around for a way out when he realized he was still grasping Malon's hand. He quickly let go and bent his head down, trying to hide his heating face. Then there was a piercing howl from behind him and a werewolf with enormous claws jumped down and began to snarl wildly at Malon and Link. "Go for the back, Link, the back!!" Navi yelled, thrashing herself around and turning yellow. The Hairy beast began to circle around them, packing them in tight. Then it jumped, teeth bared, straight at Malon! Link would have stopped the wolf but its lightning fast speed was too much for him. It grabbed Malon, put her under its arm, slashed Link across the chest, and jumped away cackling and drooling. Link directed his attention to the gate as the bars lowered and he could get through. Link raced at top speed around corners, blindly turning into unknown places, not knowing what would come next. He soon paid for his blindness. He found a very shallow pool of water, only about six inches deep! He tumbled forward, hitting the side of his nose and mouth against the stone floor. He tasted blood and saw the water around him turn red. He pulled his dripping wet head out, almost slipped again, but safely got to his feet. Ignoring the stinging pains in his bleeding nose a mouth, he charged forward drawing his sword. "I'm coming Malon!" Link yelled, nearing the end of the courtyard. He found and scurried up some stairs to a large rectangular field, the contained five Deku scrubs! Link didn't feel like fighting them and wasting time while Malon might be becoming a snack! He took his shield over his face and ran, batting away nuts being fired at him. Then he reached some more stairs, climbed them then stopped. He was very surprised and angry at what he saw. In a cage of vines, Saria and Malon were being held, and the werewolf was nowhere in sight. "You guys!" Link yelled happily, running toward the girl's prison. "Run, Link, it's a trap!" Saria said. Just then, the wolf jumped onto Link's back and cut his back badly. Link cried out and lashed his sword around the area were the werewolf stood. Link let himself fall to the ground so the wolf would fall off. The beast did fall off, but it immediately was back on its feet and was ready to fight. Link thrust his sword into the wolf's chest but it bounced off! "Link, it's got built in armor on all it's body, except the back!" Navi yelled. The wolf began to charge at Link, with it's large claws extended, but Link thought fast! He avoided it just as it attacked, turned on its back and jabbed wildly. He felt the sword sink into the wolf's back and heard the beast cry out in agony. It tried to swing Link and the sword off its back, but Link held tight. He moved his sword wildly around, piercing its skin many times. Suddenly the werewolf stopped and fell down. Link staggered up to his feet and moved away from the dying beast. Suddenly the werewolf burst into blue flames and disappeared! Link's strength gave way and he collapsed to the ground. He suddenly realized he had more injuries then he thought he had. He barley was able to get to his feet and slash the vines blocking the girls in. Link couldn't hold himself up any longer and he fell onto Malon and Saria. Luckily they caught him and laid him down on the soft grass. "Oh, Link! Are you alright?" Saria asked worriedly. Link tried to say something but his mouth seized up and he couldn't speak. "Something's wrong with him! He needs a Seimei potion now!" Malon said, fearing the worst. Link realized if he needed a Seimei potion, he was really in trouble. A Seimei potion was to heal injuries, but it was also the only potion that could heal dying people. Link's heart started to beat very quickly and he got very worried. He could almost feel his life ebbing away. "Don't worry, I know what to do!" Navi said, zipping down the first set of stairs "Try to stop the bleeding while I'm away!" Sari removed Link's hat and put it on his chest wound. "Will he be alright?" Malon said with shock. "I.don't know." Said Saria, even though she didn't mean what she said. Suddenly, Links vision blurred. His heart raced, he tried to yell to Saria, but he was too weak. Their voices now seemed far away. His heart stopped beating so fast and he relaxed, he started breathing slowly. No Link thought, not like this. He felt himself slipping away; he closed his eyes, to tired to cry. Then came a yell that seemed so far away that it seemed an ant was yelling into his ear. He felt someone grab his hand and clutch it gently. A warm, soothing sensation took him over. He felt his strength returning and his pain eased. He opened his eyes to see a fairy dropping pink sparkles onto his injuries, which now seemed to be healing. "This is all the healing power I have, but my friends have more, c'mon!" Said the fairy, starting to leave. Link got up with difficultly, and followed the fairy. Malon ran to his side and offered a shoulder to lean on, which he took gratefully. Saria, blushing slightly, also ran to Links side and helped Link along. He almost laughed at the way they were acting towards him. When the reached the bottom of the stairs the fairy and Navi floated to the top of the ledge and called for them climb up the ladder, and they did so. When Link reached the top he saw a deep, dark, hole in the ground. Link watched Navi and her fairy friend floated down into the hole. Malon followed, and Saria trailed behind closely. Link also jumped into the hole and immediately was plunged into darkness. He fell for a while then splashed into cold water. There was a soft blue light illuminating the area Link was in. Beautiful marble sculptures canopied the room. There was cold water all around the floor. Delicate pink fairies floated around laughing and sparkling. The water had magic properties and it glowed and shone. Link watched Saria step into the water and sit down. Link followed and sat down next to her. Malon also did the same. It began to clean and mend Link's clothing. Several fairies flew over and circled around Link, healing and energizing him. "Wow, I feel so much better!" Said Link, standing up. When he stood up he noticed he wasn't in the slightest bit wet. Saria, Malon, Link, and Navi stepped out of the Fairy's fountain and began to exit the forest meadow. Red light filled the air, as the setting sun decorated the autumn sky. A warm sunset breeze caressed their faces. "We'll, were off to Kakariko village next, right Link?" Malon said, looking over at Link. "Yup, that's where Impa told us to go!" Link said yawning. "You guys are leaving again?" Said Saria. They stopped and a worry line appeared in the middle of Saria's brow. "Then, I'll stay here and protect the forest! You can communicate with me when you play this tune!" Saria pressed the Ocarina to her lips and played the song that he had heard many times before in the forest. Link repeated the tune on his Ocarina. He was getting good at it. He already knew two songs, Zelda's lullaby and Saria's song. "Bye, Saria!!" Yelled Malon as she exited the forest with Link. "Don't worry, we'll be back!" Said Link! They emerged into a moonlit Hyrule field. The stars gave off a pale light, illuminating the field. "So, where is Kakariko village anyway?" Said Malon, gazing at the moon above. "Right over there I think!" Said Link pointing to the left. They trudged tiredly about five miles to the left and stopped when they got to a tower of stairs ascending to a village entryway. Malon and Link thumped up the stairs, half asleep, but found a rude awakening when they got to the top. "Hey, you two, you're disgusting!" said a sickly man with white skin sitting near a tree. "You too, friend." Said Link making his way to a place with a sign that read "Stock POT INN". Malon pushed the door open and they walked in. A crusty old woman sat at the counter. She leered over at them and croaked "Spending the night?". "Yeah" Answered Link "How much?" "Twelve rupees per guest" She said holding out a wrinkled hand as Malon quickly dropped twenty-four rupees into it. "Your room is right up there, enjoy your stay."She ended her speech with a hacking cough that sounded completely like someone vomiting. "Thanks for paying!" Link said. "It's all right! I got tons of Rupees!" She said nicely. They walked along the halls but stopped a room with an open door. Someone inside was crying. "Hello?" Said Malon in a pacifying voice as she pushed the door open. A girl who looked about the same age as Link and Malon sat on the bed crying. "Who-who are you?" She said standing up. "We just came in to see if you were OK." Said Malon "Is it?" "No, I have a horrible life right now. I'll never do anything but manage this inn, and I hate it. My grandmother won't ever let me leave and fulfill my dream of being an adventurer." "That sucks" Said Malon "Why don't you run away?" "Because I have no experience and I've got no traveling comrades." The girl answered. "Oh man, that IS bad. Anything we can do to help?" Said Link. "No, but thanks for trying." She said "By the way, what are your names?" "I'm Malon, This is Link, and the fairy is Navi!" Malon announced. "Great! I'm Anju, what brings you here at three in the morning, anyway?" "We came from the forest and we need to go to Death Mountain to get the second spiritual stone." Explained Link. "You're on a quest? Oh, take me with you, please! I'll be good and I'll pay for everything!!!" Anju said excitedly. "You will do no such thing!" the old woman said as she hobbled through the doorway. "OH, it's you again, I hate you! Just leave me alone!" Anju said running down the stairs, crying again. "What did you do that for!?" Link yelled. "That brat never pulls her weight around and she's got to learn to run this place, someday!" She snapped. "But, still! You didn't have to go and-" Link started "Let's go, I'm tired" Said Malon pulling Link out of the room.
Link and Malon strolled through the dark halls towards their room. Link opened the door to a room with four bunk beds. Two Men were already in the room and were snoring loudly.
"Well that's, just beautiful!" Said Malon eyeing a man who was drooling all over the bed. "I get the top bunk!" said Link scrambling up to the top and throwing his hat to the ground.
"Ooh, me too!" Said Malon climbing in the other bed and plopped down and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked over at Link and began to giggle. "What?" Said Link defensively. "Your hair!" Malon said. "So what's wrong with it?" Said Link, stroking the top of his head. She giggled some more and said "It's.. kinda cute!" She said turning red. Link also grew very red and thought how glad he was that his hair was long. He turned over and closed his eyes, recollecting his adventure and what had happened over the last few days. After that he immediately fell asleep.
Saria and Kakariko
Link led the way toward Kakariko village as the sun was rising. Red light spilled over the field, creating long, black shadows. Malon grabbed Link's arm, stopping him.

".No.just thinking." She said even softer than Link. "You're lying, what's up?" Link said, slowing down "I think you're minds on you're mom." "Um, yeah! I miss her." She said with a hint of relief, like Link had overlooked something obvious. "Look at it this way, at least you've got a family. I have nobody. All the Kokiri, except Saria, hate me!
