Chapter 7- Trouble in the Forest.

"Can't you go any faster?" Beylinda asked, as they ran to the forest.

"I do see you carring someone!" Afios shouted back, "And Link is heavier than he looks!"

"Hey!" Link shouted

"Excuses." said the Gerudo. She held up her know, which was a mistake, since she wasn't watching where she was going, and tripped on one of the trees that lined the entrance to the forest. She landed in a puddle of mud. Both Link and Afios laughed as they ran by. Beylinda growled, causing bubbles to form infront of her face, and she glared daggers at the boys as they ran into the woods.

As Link and Afios tried to enter the forest they got repelled by some invisable barrior. They both fell back, and into Beylinda, who had just caught up. She let off an agrivated scream and kicked Link off her, and he banged his head against Afios'.

"Ow!" They both said, and grabbed their heads. Link in the front, and Afios in the back.

"Whats the big idea!" Beylinda scowled, "First you don't have the decency to help me when I fall, now you try and flatten me!"

"Sorry!" Link and Afios said, at the excat same time. "It was an accident!"

Beylinda blinked. She watched them do the same thing at the same time. They got up the same way at the same time, and looked at her the same way at the same time. She found this interesting. She walked up to Afios and gave him a swift punch to the arm.

"Ow!" He shouted, "What was that for?"

Beylinda ignored him, and walked up to Link, and pulled up his sleeve. TO her amazement, there was a red mark identical to the one Afios was now spoting on his arm. She grabbed Afios and pulled him so she could study the marks side by side.

"What are you doing?" Link and Afios asked

"Link, was this mark here before?" Beylinda asked, and pionted to the red mark.

"No, it wasn't there before we got here." Link said, now focused on the forming bruise.

"Well, look at this." She said, and poked Afios' arm where she hit him. It got redder, and She mentioned to Link's arm, and saw an identical mark appear. Both Link and Afios stared intently at their matching bruises.

"Great..." Afios said, "What ever happens to one of os now happens to both of us. Stupid bracelets."

"But why?" Link asked, "It didn't do this before."

"My guess is because Impa is now a demon." Beylinda said, "And her powers were amplified." She smirked, when an idea formed in her head. "I wouldn't be surprised if you woke up one moring being fused together in one body. A mix of the two of you."

She silantly laughed to herself when she saw the horrified looks on their faces. Thats when she noticed something. She looked from Link back to Afios. Then she sighed. She decided to ask what was on her mind.
"Why did you two not enter the forest?" She waited for about a minute before she asked, "Did you not hear me?"

She still got no response. So she walked up and gave them a push. They fell to the ground, still in the same pose they were just standing in. She was confused. She turned to see if anything was behind her. When she didn't see anything she looked back and saw both boys looked like wooden versions of themselves. She gasped.

"I did not expect that to happen." said a shrill voice from behind Beylinda. She turned around and saw a girl there. But she had leaf like wings coming from her back, and her skin seemed to be made of wood. Other than that she looked like a normal girl, except for her green hair.

"Who are you?" Beylinda shouted, "And what did you do to them?"

"I do not know what happened to the Sheikah, but I ment to turn the Hero into wood." said the girl. "And I am know as Saria, the Dark Sage of Forest."
"Hm" Beylinda smirked, "Well, soon you'll be the Dark Sage of whooped rear."

She pulled out her twin blades, and jumped at Saria. A flower appeared at Saria's feet, and she dissapeared into it, causing Beylinda to miss, and roll on the ground. She got back up, and slashed the flower to pieces. But Saria did not emerge from it. Instead vines shot from the ground and wrapped themselves around Beylinda. She struggled to get free, but she couldn't.

"Well, what were you saying about me being the Sage of whooped butt?" Saria mocked as she appeared from a tree. She had a smirk on her face. She made her hand a fist, and the vines tightened around Beylinda. She gasped and started struggling more. She was about to stop from pain when a fire arrow flew past, buring the vines away. Beylinda looked to where the Arrow came from and saw Link and Afios back to normal, and Link with a bow in his hand.

"How did you break my curse?" Saria asked, angrily.

"With Beylinda's help." Afios said

"Explain." Beylinda said.

"Well, you said if things keep going the way they were Afios and I would become one person." Link said

"So we combined our magic. And it was enough to beat yours." Afios finished.

Link readied another fire arrow, and Afios held his palm to it, and the flame intensified. Link hesitated for a second before firing and hitting Saria right in her chest. She fell back as the Dark Sage burst into flames and dissolved. Saria watched as the Dark Sage dissolved before she ran to Link's arms. Link was now taller than her. Saria used her magic to transport them to the Chamber of Sages. Once there she turned to Link.

"Thank you so much." she said, as the Forest Medallion appeared in her hand. She gave it to Link.

"I couldn't have done it without Afios and Beylinda." Link said, taking the Medallion into his body. "Zelda said for you to go to the Castle. Its safest there, and we need your help."

"Alright. I'll go there. Link, I sence something different about you." Saria said, "What is it?"

"It must be this." Link said, and held up his arm with the bracelet. Saria looked at it.
"Hm, these were made from Impa's magic." she said, "Since her magic is getting stronger these could get dangerous. Please, becareful. And get Impa to take these off."

Link nodded, and Saria used her magic to take them all to the castle. Once there they started walking to the throne room, where Zelda, Nabooru, and Ruto were waiting. On the way Beylinda pulled Link and Afios to the side.

"I thought you said you lost you magic arrows." She said

"I did." Link said

"Then how did you get the Fire Arrow?" Beylinda asked

"Well, you said we would become one person, so we combined our magic, and we were able to create them." Afios said, "Which neither of us could do on our own. So you kinda helped us."

"Link, Beylinda, Afios." Zelda said, coming sown the hall, with the three free Sages in tow. "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is with the three medallions you have gathered I can partially awaken my powers. But the bad news concerns your bracelets. It turns out that if Impa doesn't take them off soon, then they will permanently fuse to you, and you will be forever bound. But you will need the Light Arrow to break the Curse on Impa, and that was hidden in the Shadow Temple to act as a Barrior to deture monsters from the shadow realm. And we still need one more Sage to break the barrior to Kakoriko. So you need to find the Light Sage and fast. Or things might get even worse for you."
