As she walked outside, she directly noticed that something was amiss. Although the sky was of a evil color, that was not what she noticed. She knew right away, that someone had contaminated the forest. Someone who wanted revenge. She knew this because she had the power to determine something's actions. That was the ability granted upon her by the Great Deku Tree when she had been officially announced as lady-chief of the village, despite Mido's dispute and fits.

As she wandered about, looking for a hint of this eerie feeling, she headed to her Sacred Place, hoping for some help from the three goddesses, their knowledge and power so mighty. As she wondered what do look for, she walked along the quiet forest ground, and climbed up the small ladder on the ledge behind Mido's house. As she walked by though, she heard a small noise pop up from the front of the house. It wasn't very loud, only a small rustle, but a noise nonetheless. She stopped for a moment, frozen on the crudely made ladder, trying not to make a sound.

Another sound followed after, which sound like curious footsteps in search of something. Saria started to grow worried, wondering what was moving around in the silent village. She knew it wasn't a member of the Kokori, as they tended to go to sleep and not wake up until their fairies told them to. If it wasn't a Kokori, then what in the world was it? Maybe it was the thing she had been searching for…

As it grew closer, she tried to escape it's sight of radar, inching up the ladder. It was coming closer, she could hear it coming near the ledge. Finally, she reached the top of the ladder, and quickly, but swiftly, climbed over it. As she did so, she also turned around, trying to get a good view of what was approaching her.

Then it began to come into view. It was not what she had expected, to her dismay. It definitely wasn't a monster, as it didn't fighten her at all. It wasn't an adult, as it was too short. It was clothed in green, and was rubbing it's eyes.

It was none other than Mido.

She was relieved, but at the least bit agitated. If Mido was here, she was probably going to have to listen to him give her a lecture or something about her sneaking around, which was ironic because she was the lady-chief and he was, well, a bit immature.

"Saria, what are you doing? It's dark out"

She stood there, more focused on her task.

"I'm just taking a night's stroll."

Mido's expression perked up a bit. He loved to follow Saria anywhere she went, much to her annoyance.

"OH, really? Can I come with you?"

Why is he always this eager around me, she thought.

"No, I'm fine"

"Are you sure? I could protect you from any evil lurking around in the forest."

Hooray, Mido thought. Maybe the Great Deku Tree will reward me, and then I'll be the most respected one in the village!

"I said I'm fine. It's not like there's anything out here that can hurt me anyways."

Mido let out a small frown.

"Ok… I'm just letting you know tha-"

Suddenly, there was a giant crackle of fire, as it bursted from Saria's right. Particles from it flew over her and Mido's head, landing near his house. Both of them turned quickly, worried of the sudden boom.

"AHH, WHAT WAS THAT?", yelled a scared Mido.

Much to their dismay, it was a explosion from the fire the two dastardly children had set aflame. It was the start of war.
