Phantoms and Friends – Child-Hood Reunion
Link shook his head to try and re-orientate himself with his new surroundings. Looking around Link saw that he was back in the Sacred Realm still inside his crystalline shell but instead of facing the Sage of Light, Raura, like last time he was instead facing the Green forest stand. The energy shield around Link began to fade as the forest Pedestal began to glow with green energy. The Pedestal grew bright and a small child began to emerge, rising up from the centre and coming to rest stood on the platform.
"Hello Link" smiled the Forest Sage
"Saria" Link smiled back
"I thank you for defeating that demon and freeing me, allowing me to awaken as the Sage of Forest." Saria laughed a tinkling laugh "I told you that the Forest temple would be a special place for us one day, although I have to admit, I never saw this coming."
"I had a feeling you might have been the Forest Sage. When Sheik told me that the Sage was a girl I would remember I new it was you. I was never really close to the other girls in the forest was I? I think it was the whole 'Outcast' thing that Mido had going.
"Link … after you left, I tried to explain to the other Kokiri but, Mido wouldn't have it. The Great Deku Tree was dead, he convinced the other Kokiri that you killed him, I don't think that the other Kokiri believed him, but without the Tree he was the undisputed leader, nobody could say anything against him" Saria sighed looking slightly forlorn. After the monsters started attacking the Kokiri fled inside all of the houses and I went to the Forest Temple. I could sense the evil coming and Mido had already fled into the Lost Woods. I arrived at the Sacred Forest Meadow and as soon as I crossed that weird stand thing that's there I was attacked by that creature on the horse. The nest thing I remember you were fighting that creature and you won. I felt this overwhelming sense of Power and I new what was going on." Saria looked up and stared Link straight in his icy blue eyes.
"I was the Forest Sage and I was destined to help you defeat the evil by giving you this." Saria raised her arms to the air and summoned an orb of green energy. The orb hovered between her outstretched palms before shooting off to the black abyss that is was the ceiling. A green Medallion fell from the ceiling coming to stop just in front of Link who had his arms outstretched to catch the magical coin. Link smiled as the medallion began to glow brightly along with the Light Medallion inside his tunic. The tow began resonating and pulsating as they recognised each other.
The Light medallion flew out from his tunic and hovered next to the Forest Medallion the two medals began glowing brightly to the extent that Link had to shield his eyes. Link looked out from behind his eyes to see the silhouette of Saria along side Raura. The two sages closed there eyes and focused there powers creating a golden bond between the two medallions permanently linking the two coins together.
"Now Link, Go now and find the next sage" ordered Saria. "but first, you need to go to the Temple of Time. Sheik is waiting to talk to you. He has advice that you need to here" The Crystalline blue shell formed around Link, and he felt his body float up in to the air white light began to fill his vision when he heard Saria's voice
"Remember Link, You can always call me on the Ocarina, I will always be" Saria's voice became distant and echoy as she said her final words "Your friend."
