Subchapter 2
"Hurry up Thian or we'll leave you behind" Link yelled from up ahead with Saria. Thian shook his head "This secret place better be as amazing as you said Link or so help me" Thian leaped over the expanse barely landing on the other side Saria jumped in the air "You Did it" Link and Saria giggled and Thian rolled his eyes. It had been 10 years since the night of the storm; the night Link and Thian appeared in Kokiri village. Saria and Fado each taking on the responsibility of raising one of them, Saria had raised Link and Fado who decided to stay behind rather than enter the Lost Woods, raised Thian. Once Link and Saria's laughter ceased they continued onward and Thian followed, it felt like they were going in circles each grove they came to was identical to the last.
After several minutes had past Thian grew annoyed, stopping he said "Are we actually going anywhere, how can you tell that where we stand now is any different from the clearing we stood in 15 minutes ago" Link and Saria smiled, Thian got this way when they drew things out. He was always so serious, he wanted everything quick precise and to the point or else he grew impatient. Saria assured him "We know where we are going don't worry." Link nodded "It is a perfect place to come to get away from every body else, and play in secret." Thian brightened at this "You should have told me earlier lead on." They pressed on at a much more reasonable pace since Thian's recent change in heart. "Just through here" Saria said somewhat hushed as they entered they passed through the last tunnel.
The awaiting sight took Thian's breath away as he stood staring mouth agape at this sudden opening in the canopy of leaves above them. The sky so blue shown brightly lighting the area in front of them. Saria and Link smiled at his reaction and said "Told you so" in unison. Thian nodded "You did" Saria giggled as Thian continued to stare. His looked up ahead seeing an entrance to a maze the walls of which were hedges. "What's through there?" Thian asked curiously, Link smiled "The Best Part come on" he and Saria took off through the entrance and around the first corner. Thian jumped startled that he had been left behind he made a late start and called after them, but as he made it to the entrance the atmosphere changed. Thian froze and looked to either side of him. He felt he wasn't alone, that he was somehow in danger.
All at once his suspicions were confirmed as a bony paw pierced the surface of the ground next to him. Thian cowered back tripping and as he hit the ground the abomination pulled itself further above the surface. Two glowing yellow eyes pierced his soul as a wolf like creature from beyond the grave fully surfaced. It uttered a bone chilling howl that sent chills down Thian's spine. He had nothing to ward off this beast of the damned, and its claws would tear through his Kokiri vest as easily as his skin. The beast drew nearer to Thian, Link and Saria could never make it back to him in time. The wolf-like fiend lunged at Thian sinking its teeth deep into his shoulder and began to claw at his chest. Thian cried out in pain which assured Link and Saria's fears that he was in danger as they ran back the way they came Thian suddenly felt strange the pain ceased and he had a sudden unrelenting urge to fight back. As Link and Saria closed in on the final turn that led to the entrance a Yelp sounded loudly followed by a bright light. As they turned the corner Thian stood there panting. His left side from his shoulder down was drenched in blood. "THIAN" Link shouted as he ran to him followed by Saria.
Thian blinked and hid his right hand behind his back without thinking. "Um…yes…I am" Saria was investigating his wounds "It looks to have been a Stalwolf, but you are healing remarkably quickly" she tore a piece of clothe from her dress and looked at Thian "Take your shirt off and sit down so I can bandage you up" Thian did as he was told and as she worked Link shook his head "Fado is going to lose it. We will be lucky if she will let Thian ever come into the Lost Woods again." When Saria had finished she looked at Link seriously "We all will be postponing any and all planned visits to the Lost Woods until we are better prepared for attacks from Stalwolves Thian got lucky this time I'm not willing to take any chances on that luck running out." Link nodded as Thian stood up "Really Saria I'm fi.." Saria raised her hand cutting him off "My decision is final" Link and Thian nodded "Yes Ma am" Saria smiled at that "Now let's go home" She headed off at an agreeable pace that Thian could match even in his injured state.
