RAMBLINGS OF A MADMAN PART FOUR

DAY "After Link Left the Second Time" 25

Saria has been telling me stories about her childhood. She is actually 172 years old! I don't really know what that means, but I'm pretty sure she looks good for her age.
She says that the Sacred Realm is very interesting, but she just stands around like I do. I think the Kokiri forest sounds more exciting.

DAY Saria's Story 1

Today Saria told me about the time she wrestled a wild moblin into submission. It had sharp fangs and a foaming mouth, and it was 100 feet tall! It was very scary, at least until Saria gave it a haircut. Then it just looked like an ugly dog-pig.

DAY Saria's Story 2

Wow! Saria is so brave! Today she told me about the giant deku scrub that attacked her village one time. It ate two people (kokiri kids, she calls them), and she had to rip it open to get them out!
The Kokiri Forest is much more interesting than the Sacred Realm. Nothing has come out of the blackness above me in forever, and even my rubber ducky is starting to get boring. I wish things would heat up around here.

DAY BORING

It's boring. Saria and I aren't speaking to each other, because I didn't believe her when she said she had known a giant, talking tree. I don't know why she would start lying to me, but I don't like it.

DAY MEAN

Now Saria is being mean. She told me to take a bath today, because I smell bad. I told her I had already taken a bath, so she asked me how long ago, and when I didn't remember, she got mad, and moved to another platform. She won't even play Jump with me.

DAY I've got a new Buddy

Today Link came back, which was good, because the tension was building to unbearable levels. With him came this big guy, whom Link calls Darunia. He's big and bulky, and very brown. In fact, if he were sitting down, I would probably think he was a rock. But he's a pretty nice guy, and he says that he can make fire.

Hey, this is Link. I stole Rauru's diary real quick, so I could read it. Man, this guy is really messed up! I caught him singing to himself when I got here with Darunia, something about a rubber duck. And he keeps asking me if I know how to get popcorn. I don't like being mean or anything, but he definitely needs some help. Maybe a little fresh air, a whack to the head, or something. I don't know what he'll be like the next time I come back here. Uh oh! He's coming back from his bath (with the grossest yellow towel I have ever seen on!). Gotta go!

DAY FIRE

Darunia really can make fires! It's pretty cool. He said he got his powers from being a sage, and that I should have some too. I told him I did. I could make that weird, yellow medallion come out of the blackness above me. I told him I had given it to Link, to get rid of it and make room up in the blackness for ice cream. I don't think that's what he meant, though.

DAY S'MORES

Darunia and I have been bonding today. I showed him my rubber duck, and he told me how to make s'mores. We would have made some, but we couldn't get any chocolate. The blackness kept sending us coffee instead. So we just had this bonding ceremony, in which we called each other "Sworn Brother" and hit each other on the back a bit. It was fun, but Saria didn't really want to join us.

DAY DANCE PARTY

I found out today that Saria has this really cool ocarina that she can play, and Darunia loves to dance to her song, so we had a dance party. Man, it was great! The big guy was jumping around everywhere, and Saria looked happy for the first time in days! I wish things could be perfect like this forever.
