Child of Destiny Ch. 1
"Wake up, Link!" cried Saria from outside of Link's house, "You promised that you'd help me today!"
Young Link groaned and pulled himself out of his bed with great difficulty. He had forgotten that Saria wanted to go explore the edge of the forest that day.
"I'm coming, Saria!" Link yelled sleepily as he climbed down the ladder of his house.
"Finally, Link. I almost thought you'd forgotten!" Saria said cheerfully.
"Um...Why would I forget?" Link said with just a little too defensively.
"Well, for one thing, you don't have a fairy to remind you. And you do tend to oversleep for all the festivals of the forest..." Saria continued to count out reasons on her fingers.
"All right, all right. Can we go now before the Deku tree finds out?" replied an annoyed Link.
It was true. Link was the only child in the forest who did not have a fairy. He never questioned it, but he did feel embarrassed sometimes when the other Kokiri made fun of him. As Link followed Saria through the dense foliage, he thought of how good Saria had always been to him. She was always there to talk to when the other children shunned him, and she even played her ocarina for him when he had been ill. Link was so absorbed in thought up to this point that he hadn't noticed that Saria had stopped walking. She was standing perfectly still, staring up into the forest's canopy.
"What is it, Saria?" Link asked curiously, looking up as well.
Suddenly, an enormous skultula plunged out of the tree branches and knocked Link to the ground. He lay there for a moment, stunned, until he heard Saria scream. Link jumped up just in time to see the skultula grab Saria and try to climb back into the trees.
"No!" screamed Link as he ran forward and grabbed a tree branch. He jumped at the skultula and swung the branch over his head as hard as he could, smacking the skultula to the ground. The creature screamed in pain and released Saria to scuttle off into the brush. Link threw the branch aside and rushed over to Saria.
"Saria! Are you alright?" Link was close to tears as he helped Saria stand.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Saria brushed off her clothes and glanced towards Link, who had collapsed against a tree trunk. "Are you alright, Link?"
Link stood up and tried to look as though nothing had happened.
"Of course I'm alright. I'm just glad you're safe, that's all." Link smiled at Saria and continued walking along he path.
"What a strange boy," Saria said to herself.
