Reminiscence
Saria's thoughts. It's quite short - I'll be doing one of these for all the sages, and I fear most of them will be just as short...but it's all good anyway.
~/*\~/*\~/*\~
I turned out to be a Sage - which just shows how funny life can be. My best friend turned out to be the Hero of Time, and my favourite place just turned out to by the Temple which I was the Sage of. Sage of Forest - and thus one of six who would seal away darkness when the time came.
When I was awakened, it was to find that my home had been ripped apart whilst I was slumbering in some prison, unaware as the world fell to pieces. And it was a terrible thing to wake up, and the first thing I saw was a face that I knew, but couldn't quite place.
It was the fairy that finally convinced me - when Navi flew from beneath his green hat and settled on his head, I knew that it was my old friend. And I knew then that we could never have our friendship back, because he was the Hero, destined for greatness, and I was a Sage. And my destiny was to dwell forevermore in the Sacred Realm, ensuring that the whole of Hyrule was safe from evil.
I didn't ask for it - and never did I even dream that I could be who I turned out to be. Sometimes I wish I wasn't who I am at all - and sometimes I am glad I am, because it means that all the Kokiri who remain are going to be happy forever, and won't have to see the bad things ever again.
But Link - yes, I know, everything always seems to come back to him at some point...but, that is just the way it's always going to be. He did it - he vanquished the evil and drove out the darkness...
However, he didn't manage to escape the darkness himself. Looking down from here, I can see that shadows crowd all around him, and I don't know how I can stop one of them claiming him. And there are so many he can fall to.
Despair.
Pain.
Anger.
Hatred.
There are so many shadows, and only one light path. I only hope that the ones who are left in Hyrule who know him can help him choose that one. I don't know whether he will listen to the Princess of Destiny, or even to Navi. But he will listen to the Ranch girl - she stands on that light path - if, somehow, I could ensure that he will go to see her, then I could be happy that he would go the right way. He cares for her, so much that he fears that he might hurt her by getting to close.
Scratch that - he loves her. I may not know the intricate workings of the adult Hylian mind, but I do recognise love when I see it. Go to her Link - be her knight in shining armour. And Malon - tell him what he means to you, and to so many like you.
Tell him he is The Hero.
