Okay! I love reviews! I received some requests. I have been asked to write the POV of Link/ Zelda of when Zelda sends him back to his time and he goes to go see Zelda at her castle. HOWEVER, I have planned this to be the last/final/aurevoir piece… so it won't be coming quite yet. But it will be done… I have so many ideas for it. Squeals in excitement
Ahem, also, A POV for the Great Deku Tree has been asked of me. This is interesting. It will be up as soon as my exams will allow.
Also! I have been pondering a little something for a story about when Zelda is waiting for Link to come fight the final battle… It should be good.
With exams coming up, my updates will be coming slower… but I only have two more weeks of school, them I'm free. Then I'll update…. Lots.
Anyways, here's the next… chapter/story/installment.
Character- Saria
Setting- Saria is in the boss room of the Forest Temple. She knows that Link is somewhere inside and is looking for her. He finds her, defeats the boss and delivers some interesting news.
.
Here I am; Awake.
.
I try to keep my breathing quiet.
Maybe that thing won't hear me then.
I don't know how long I've been up here.
I just have to keep waiting.
Because if I move…
That monster will get me.
.
I slowly edge over to the end of the statue I'm behind.
I peer around the corner.
I stop breathing all together…
Just incase.
.
The large body of a black horse stands there.
It looks smoky.
Ghost-like.
It hardly moves.
It just stands.
.
A tall man is pacing the room.
Every time he passes me…
A cold wind blows by.
He misses me by inches.
I know that he's looking for me.
He wants to get me…
Before Link finds me.
.
The man turns to me suddenly.
His skull-like mask shines.
I duck behind the statue quickly.
Please don't let him have seen me.
Please.
Oh Farore, don't let him have seen me.
.
His croaky voice echoes through the circular room.
The identical paintings on the wall shudder as he speaks.
"Come out, girly." He says gruffly.
His voice sounds far off.
Like he were miles away.
And if I couldn't smell his breath…
I'd think he was.
.
His shadow passes over me.
He knows I'm here.
"Come out." He repeats, "I know that you're here. You can't hide forever. Come out."
.
I freeze.
I can't leave now.
If I make a break for the door…
He'll beat me to it.
Then what?
Will he kill me?
He is the Evil King.
He can do nothing else but kill.
He will kill me.
.
Oh Link.
Where are you?
I told you that I was here.
I told you.
Why haven't you come yet?
.
I look up to the haunting pictures above me.
A dark road rides far into the distance.
It looks so real.
I wish I could jump in and run away from him.
.
The dim, almost nonexistent light in the room begins to hurt my eyes.
I can barely see anymore.
It's like a tomb.
Only a few torches light the room.
.
It's getting colder.
Like every second that man is here…
The temperature drops.
I can see my breath now.
I try to cover the fog from drifting into view.
.
The man's footsteps stop.
My shaking breath sounds as loud as a Deku shrub's squeal.
To my horror…
The footsteps start up again…
But…
They're getting louder and louder.
.
I hold my breath.
Oh, Din.
Please help me.
.
The footsteps stop again.
My heart stops too.
Seconds pass.
But they feel like hours.
I know that he's standing right behind my statue.
I know he knows I'm here.
.
A black hand reaches around.
It grabs the edge of the statue…
His hand, inches away from my shoulder.
.
I hear a crunch.
The support of the statue to my back shifts.
The block of stone is lifted right of the ground.
I look up.
The man stands there.
Torch light gleams off his mask.
His grins.
His yellow teeth are barred.
.
Effortlessly,
He throws the chunk of rock down the spiral staircase.
The clangs echo up the passage.
.
I scramble to my feet.
I prepare to run for the staircase.
Down to freedom.
But my feet leave the ground.
The tunic round my neck goes tight.
He's lifting me up to his eye level.
.
He spins me around.
Our eyes meet.
Sort of.
Deep, black holes stare back to me.
I scream out.
I try to kick him away.
But he laughs.
.
"None of that will do you any good now." He says.
He hold his free hand up.
A large ball of purple magic forms.
My eyes widen.
"This might sting a bit." He snarls.
He brings the hot ball close to my face.
I can feel my skin start to burn.
I scream louder.
.
I prepare for the pain of the ball touching my face.
But…
The man cries out in pain.
I drop to the floor.
My legs hurt now.
The glow from the purple ball ceases.
I look up to the man.
He's clutching an arrow in his arm.
Black blood pours down onto me.
My legs are covered.
I rub my singed cheek.
.
I try to get up.
But I can't.
I pull my body with my arms.
I drag myself over to the far end of the room.
I leave a trail of his blood behind me.
.
Exhausted from pulling myself,
I prop myself against the wall.
The pain in my legs double.
I wince.
.
Another cry gets my attention.
The man was just shot again.
.
"Don't you even think about touching her!" Screams another man.
He steps into the light of the torches.
Long, blond hair blocks out his eyes.
But,
A strong smirk shows through.
A fairy hovers around him.
He wears the Kokiri garb.
But he's too old to be Kokiri.
.
What about Link?
Wasn't he supposed to save me?
My thoughts are interrupted.
.
The Evil King and the horse disappear into a puff of smoke.
The smoke drifts over to one of the paintings.
It seeps into it.
Where did he go?
.
Silence fills the room.
.
The new man…
The one who saved me, looks at me.
Shadows play on his face.
"Are you all right?" He asks.
.
I open my mouth to answer.
But the sound of galloping hooves stops me.
I look up to the painting above me.
The King is coming closer.
A purple, swirling cloud immerges.
The horse's head pops out of the painting.
.
The man knocks an arrow.
He fires it at the horse.
The horse whinnies.
It turns.
And runs away.
.
The King is flung from the picture.
He stands and brushes himself off.
He growls at the man.
He flies up in the air.
He fires an energy ball at him.
.
In one quick motion,
The man's sword is out.
He lashes it and sends the ball back to the King.
Unexpecting, the King receives a hit.
.
He fires another.
And another.
Another.
All of which are hit back to him.
.
Finally, the King falls.
He lays, slumped on the ground.
.
I try to get up again to have a closer look.
Shakily, I manage.
I stagger over.
The King twitches.
He begins to disappear.
I look on in confusion.
The man looks confused too.
.
An echoing voice fills the room.
"Well done Kid." It says, "You seem to have acquired some skill. But that was only my phantom. It won't be so easy fighting the real me."
A harsh laugh rings around me.
"What a worthless creation that was. I banish it to the gap between dimensions."
.
With that,
The body completely disappears.
The man sighs.
.
He looks at me.
He brushes his hair out of his eyes.
The torch light reaches him.
.
I know those eyes…
The eyes I've gone seven years without seeing.
The eyes that I've so sorely missed.
It's Link.
.
He smiles at me.
The smile that could shatter all.
But…
He's…
Old.
That can't be.
The Kokiri never grow.
Maybe it's not him at all.
But… His eyes…
.
He kneels down on the floor,
His smile still going.
He opens his arms.
"Saria." He whispers.
.
The way he says it.
I know.
It's him.
He may have changed…
But it's him.
His voice…
His face…
His body…
All different.
But it's him.
.
I forget the pain in my legs.
I run over to him.
I fall into him.
Tears run down my face.
But I don't care.
He's here.
And I'm home.
His arms grip me like a bear.
I don't ever want to let go.
I can't go another seven years without him…
.
He pushes me away.
His arms are on my shoulders.
I beam at him.
"You're back. You're back." I say.
It's all I can say.
.
He smiles back at me.
"Saria…"
He reaches into the tunic.
He pulls out an instrument.
An ocarina.
"I know that we haven't seen each other in ages… But I have very little time. I need to play a song for you. You'll listen, right?" He asks.
.
I know he's on a mission.
But why play me a song?
It seems odd.
.
I nod my head.
.
He raises the purple-ivory instrument to his lips.
Fast, lively notes come out.
But…
It's not just any song.
It feels weird.
I close my eyes.
.
The notes pierce into me.
They fill my heart.
I can feel them.
I can hear them.
They whisper to me.
The noise of the ocarina fades out.
.
Forests…
Leaves…
Wood…
Moss…
Fall…
Autumn…
Summer…
Winter…
Million and millions of memories pass into me.
I feel every tree.
Every leaf.
They speak to me.
I can hear them all.
I know who I am.
.
I am the Forest Sage.
.
I snap my eyes open.
Breath rushes into my chest.
All the voices whisper comforts to me.
I love them already.
How could I have ever lived without them?
Here I am…
Finally.
Awake to the world.
.
I smile at Link.
He looks at me curiously.
"I know who I am now." I tell him.
.
He smiles too.
A blue tunnel of light surround us.
I feel light.
I float upwards.
I let the blue light take me…
Link by my side.
.
It'll be all right.
That's what they're telling me.
Millions of them.
Telling me I'll be fine…
Comforting me.
.
My feet touch ground.
I'm standing in an endless room.
A blue platform shines beneath my feet.
I've been here before…
Not in this lifetime…
But before.
.
I look to Link.
"Thank you. I can now understand what I've always known that someday I would. I owe you everything. As a token of my thanks and as a gift of my power… Please, take this."
I know what I'm going to give him.
I've never even seen it before…
But I know about the medallion.
I have to give it to him.
.
A green coin comes down.
I send it over to him.
He takes it.
.
"I'll be here," I say, "If ever you need to call me… Just use my song."
I smile again.
"I'll stay here and prey for you now… Good luck."
.
He smiles weakly.
He and I both know…
That this will probably be the last we will ever see of each other.
Ever.
I wave to him.
The blue light forms around him again.
A single tear runs down my face.
.
I let him go.
I let him go…
.
I hold back my tears.
I prey…
.
Remember…
I will always be… your friend.
Awwww. So cute. I liked it. I hope you did too. Look out for more updates soon! (P.S. I don't think I'll so another for Link on this topic… I don't think it'll really do any good. Maybe later, but right now I have other things I want to write… Sorry if anyone feels disappointed by this, but I don't think Link plays a big enough role to write a whole other story about.)
Review please.
