Changed my mind again, I am going to post this on the end of the original story to make it easier to find (some people are stupid) I think I like this one better, a lot better, damnit! (This starts after chapter 16)

            Marth carried Link as far as the entrance hall and collapsed. He lay panting and sore next to him, to tired to breathe. Thunder shook the windows around them. "I'll go get help," The guard said and ran off. Link was still unconscious when assistance arrived. Impa bent over him and examined the hero. "A dark energy to the chest? And still alive?" Impa was amazed. She cut his tunic away from the wound and poured the contents of a vial onto it. A searing pain like a branding iron woke Link from his comatose state. He screamed and writhed under the pain, nothing had ever hurt him so badly. "It's for your own good master Link," Impa consoled. "Saria!" Link yelled through the tears.

            She broke from the crowd and hurried over to her lover. "Are you all right Link?" Saria asked frantically. "No!" He said through clenched teeth. She held him in her arms, it was her turn to comfort him. He cried onto her dress, the pain was so much! "Shhh, it's ok Link, I'm here for you," Saria whispered to the crying boy. Link was so afraid he wouldn't see her anymore, he had to hold on!

            After a few hours, it was safe to transport Link to his room. Impa was assigned twenty four hour care of him. Extremely weak, Link fell into a coma for two days, Saria never left his bedside. When he awoke, the first thing Saria did was kiss him. "Good to see you too," Link said and smiled. "So, do you know what happened to Ganon," he asked, it was all that haunted his dreams the last two days. Saria shivered then said, "He is gone, for now anyway." There was silence for a minute as they looked at each other, then Link asked where Marth was. "He is still here, wedding preparations are being made now." "And the King?" Saria looked out the window. "They are burying him today."  

            The funeral for the King and the guards was held that afternoon, Link watched from his window because Impa wouldn't let him go. "The last thing you need is excitement of any kind," She had told him. He saw Zelda place a rose on her fathers casket, say a few words and turn away. He watched as Saria ran up to comfort her friend. Marth paid an Altean tribute to the King. He dropped to his knees and bowed his head while quietly reciting a prayer in a foreign tongue. He then tossed a rose into the grave and turned to embrace a weeping Princess Zelda. This was a day of darkness in Hyrule.

            But Link was plenty strong enough to attend their wedding the following week. He had the honor of giving Zelda away in the place of her father. She looked radiant in her layers of weightless lace. Link walked her down the isle to a beaming Prince Marth. He shook hands with his once enemy and stood behind them as they said their vows. Link exchanged a loving smile with Zelda's maid of honor, Saria. A thousand people cheered as Marth and Zelda said "I do," and shared a kiss.

            At the reception, Zelda performed the tradition of throwing the bouquet. Of course Saria caught it! She grinned at Link then began to giggle uncontrollably.

~*~*~Three years later~*~*~

            We see Link and Saria, back in the forest together. The death of Ganon had somehow allowed the Kokiri to come and go from the forest as they pleased. Link had built on to Saria's old house so it now had room for baby. Now we see Saria with golden ring on her finger, singing to the baby in her arms. Kokiri children peek through the window to see Saria and Link's child. Link walks in, kisses baby, then his beautiful wife. They smile and the scene fades.

            Her wishes granted, dreams fulfilled, Saria found true happiness in Link and was glad she had listened to her heart a few years ago. (Fairy tale ending in 3....2....1...) And they lived happily ever after ^_^
