            Link and Saria spent the day talking, laughing and playing on the beach. She wanted the day to last longer, but the sun inevitably set on their fun. Link sat by the fire, Saria close to his side. "Wow, look at that that sunset," He sighed. She studied the reds and golds, fading into pink for a moment "Same as last night," She remarked. "No, it's different! I'm next to you tonight." She giggled and moved slowly closer to him, a mood of rapture and anticipation forming around them. Cool, moist air blew over the lake and made the fire dance. Link noticed Saria was staring at him. "What?" He inquired. "Shhh..." She placed a finger on his lips and smiled. Saria's hands were trembling as he slowly moved in close to her and they shared their first kiss. Electricity, passion flew between them as their lips connected. An emotion like Saria didn't know of, and couldn't think how to describe as he touched her skin. She blushed when Link let go. Saria turned away, feeling prickly inside, but Link gently pulled her back. Her mind was spinning as they kissed again. She placed her smooth cheek on his and whispered in his ear, "I love you." Link was speechless, he wanted to say he loved her too but couldn't. Saria drew back and looked sullenly at him. "What...What's the matter?" She asked. Something clicked in Links mind. He finally understood this emotion that he had never felt with anyone before. "Wrong? No, it's defiantly right..... I love you," He breathed. She laughed out loud and threw her arms around his neck. He returned her embrace and felt her rapid, exited heartbeat through his shirt. She put her forehead on his, looking into his soul through his eyes and then kissed him again playfully, "I like this!" She giggled. "Hmm...me too," Link sighed. She slowly ran her fingers over his muscular arms. "You don't know what you are doing to me!" He thought. He was having a few dishonorable thoughts that he couldn't possibly share. Saria laid down in the sand, pulling Link over her. He kissed her again, running his hand through her silken hair. He didn't dare take his actions farther than kissing, though his body desperately wanted to......

            The sunrise brought rain, bone chilling rain. They had retreated to a cave to escape the cold. Saria was snuggled close to Link for warmth but was still shivering. "Good morning," Link whispered when he noticed she was awake. "Goddesses it's c-cold!" She shuddered. He gathered her up tighter in his arms and placed his head on her shoulder. "Better?" "Much better," Saria whispered. They lay still, the cold air thrashing at their faces, but they didn't care as long as they had each other. Finally, the cold was too much. Link got up and dug in his bag for another blanket and a bottle. Saria sat up and shivered.  He threw the blanket over them. "What's in the bottle?" Saria asked. Link opened it and poured a blue flame onto the ground. It was warm, but wouldn't burn. Saria put her hands in it. "Wow...That's even better," She told him. "Aww...Outdone by the fire again! Dangit!"

            The storm lightened after an hour. A faint sun shone through the overcast, warming them up, it wouldn't be long before it was sunny and humid. That's the strange way Hylean weather works. Saria crawled out of the cave and stretched. She knelt by the lake and splashed her face in the cold water. She saw Link standing behind her in the reflection. "Pretty, so very pretty," He sighed. "Are you talking about me or you?" "Me," Saria laughed and splashed him, "I'm kidding!" He laughed. "You are the only pretty one around here," Saria stood up and after looking in his eyes for a moment asked, "What do you want to do today?" Link was about to answer when a huge bird descended beside them. "Ah, hello master Link, and fair lady. I have an urgent message for you Link."  "Ah! Kaepora Gaebora!" Link greeted and took the note from his great talons. He read:

            Link! Come to the castle immediately, please! ~Zelda~

            The hand was shaky, as if it had been written hastily. "We have to go to the castle!" Link said and called Epona. Saria asked him what was going on. "I don't know!" Was his reply. They mounted Epona and bolted away from the lake as the giant owl took flight. "Hold on!" He yelled as Epona flew over the gate. Saria clung to Link for dear life and made it over. It seemed like they would never reach the castle, but finally it appeared in front of them. Link ran up to the palace entrance when they reached it. "Open up!" He yelled. "I have to see the princess!" When the door was opened by the butler, he sprinted up to the courtyard without an explanation and Saria trailing close behind.

            Zelda was standing at the balcony, staring off towards the desert. When she turned, there was a look of terror, then relief after she saw Link. "You came!" She exclaimed. "I'm here... what's wrong?" Zelda told them about a premonition she had. A man would come from the desert, take over the castle, and bring terror to them all. They all knew who she was talking about. "Ganon (A/N there, I fixed it!!) can't come back! He's locked in the Sacred Realm! There is no way he can get out!" Zelda looked sullenly at him. "He cannot get out as long as all seven sages are guarding him. The forest sage, her power has left the Realm. We are not safe from him!" She cried. Saria nearly fainted and dropped to her knees, "What have I done......" She breathed, shaking her head. Zelda recognized Saria and gasped. "Saria? How?....You! No!" The princess was at a loss of words. Since Saria was no longer Kokiri, she had lost the power of the sages. "No, this can't happen, I'm the Forest Sage!!" She cried, and quietly added, "I'm a Sage...." Link sighed deeply, "What are we going to do?" Zelda said she thought Rauru and the rest of the Sages could hold him back until a new Sage was awakened, but she wasn't sure. "What have I done?" Saria wept, huddled on the stone floor. "No, Saria its ok!" Link said and rubbed her shoulders. She pushed him away, "It's not ok!" She snapped. "I was so self centered that I ignored my duties, my destiny. I let down the world." Zelda stepped in, "Sweetheart, its all right, we will work it out." She was talking to her like a child, "I'm acting like a child!" Saria thought angrily. "Forgive me," She whispered, wiping her eyes.       

            As much as he disliked the castle life, Link felt it best to stay in case Ganon returned. It was best to have at least two of the Triforce pieces together to protect Hyrule. Just then, King Harnikan walked into the courtyard, "Zelda, I...Link! Guards! Seize him!" A few guards swarmed in on him. "The murderous boy has returned we will just have to incarcerate him!" "Your highness!" Called another voice, it was Marth. "Your highness, I request that you unhand him! I do not wish to press charges for you see, it was all a misunderstanding." The King was confused but gave a signal and the guards let Link go. "Marth, are you sure? You said yourself, he threatened to kill you!" King Harnikan said. "A misunderstanding! All is well!" Marth exclaimed. "Father, what did you want?" Zelda asked. "Oh yes, I got word from Impa that you had another premonition!" Zelda explained to him the scenario, and introduced Saria to him. "Yes, wonderful to meet you and all of that. Zelda, will they be staying?" The King asked nonchalantly, pointing to Saria. Zelda nodded. "Very well, I must go and call a meeting of advisors," He strode off up the stairs to his conference chambers.

            I suppose you can have your old room back, and I'm positive there is somewhere for Saria." Zelda told them. "Oh, dear, you're all wet from the rain, you must be freezing!" She said to Saria. She hadn't noticed, her emotional distress had numbed the cold, or perhaps it was the cold itself that had numbed her.
