Yeah. Things start to go wrong here. I've decided that Zelda and Tael's first day is just too uneventful to give it a whole chapter, so the next chapter is where time advances.

The Deity's Escape

Chapter 3

Day Twelve: Afternoon

"Saria and I are going to check out the southern swamp and Woodfall. We'll see you tonight, okay?" Fado and Saria were ready for a day of exploring. Link taught them the Song of Soaring so they could get back to Clock Town if they found themselves in the swamp after dark. The first thing the two Kokiri did was head for the Deku Palace. Neither of them had seen a good Deku Scrub before. Hyrule only had Mad Scrubs.

The Deku King was quite interested in the children of the forest and allowed them inside the palace. After a short visit, he gave them each a Deku Scrub escort to help them reach Woodfall. They had heard Link's stories of defeating the Masked Jungle Warrior, Odolwa, in the temple that was there. The couple decided to take a peek inside the temple, where they were greeted by a glowing green platform. They stepped on it and were transported to the room where Link had fought Odolwa. That's where Saria found the amulet.

It was only a small red glint in with the Deku Flower in the center of the room. Saria almost missed it. "Fado, come look at this." The two walked up to the flower, and Saria picked up the amulet. There was an explosion of green and yellow light, and the amulet disappeared. Suddenly, Fado and Saria started to grow. Fado started to look like a violet-garbed Link, his eyes turned light brown and his hair turned green, just like Saria's. As Saria grew taller, her green hair grew just a little longer, and her figure became more matured. Thus, Saria and Fado became the only two Kokiri to age past ten.

"Saria... You look..." Fado couldn't find the words.

"You look just like your brothers. That amulet must have freed us from the anti-aging effects of being Kokiri. I'm a little nervous about this. We'd better get back to Clock Town." Fado and Saria stepped into a blue light in the middle of the room and were dropped to a room below. They walked out of the temple and started off in the direction of Clock Town. By the time they got there, everyone was in bed except for Link and Malon, who were still at dinner. The two just crawled into bed together and fell asleep in each others' arms.

Beyond the Sacred Realm

"It would appear that phases one and two of our plan are complete. On to phase three."

Day Twelve: Late Night

Stock Pot Inn, Knife Chamber

After Link and Malon had finally gone to sleep, a strange glow began to come from Link's pack. Two identical masks floated out and through the wall, into the packs of Tael and Fado. Another mask just like them floated out into the middle of Termina Field. The white mask grew into a full head, and the head grew a body. The Fierce Deity had returned.

Creepy, huh? I don't have the time, energy, or material to write a commentary. I barely have time to spell check, so you're getting off the hook this time. Till tomorrow!
