"I'm sorry, Mido. But, the wind is calling me. Someone needs me, more than you do. I have to go!"

That was the last thing Fado said before she ran off, deep into the forest. To the area the other Kokiri had long abandoned. Mido couldn't chase her there, not with all those monsters. Not with the thick, gnarled branches scratching at him, swinging him back. He assumed her fate would be the same as Saria's, all those years ago. The usually quiet forest was now filled with the heartbreaking screams of the young boy.

"Fado, Fado! Please!" he screamed, watching her finally fade into the shadows of the trees. "Don't leave me," he whimpered, sliding to his knees as he began to cry. Not even the little fairy at his side could comfort him.

Why did everyone he cared for have to leave?

Many years passed after that day, and the other Kokiri tried their hardest to adapt to life without the girl. She had been so beloved, and to have her suddenly leave was devastating for all of them. It hit Mido the hardest, she was like his little sister. He had cared for her the most. Possibly even more than Saria. Eventually, Fado became nothing more than a fond memory.

"Mido!" yelled a Kokiri boy, the eldest of the Know-It-All brothers. He ran to Mido's house, barging through the door. "Mido, another child has been found!"

Mido quickly ran out with the boy, running to where the new child was found. They had to make sure they could take him out of the Lost Woods, before the child's identity was stolen. Before the shadows took him and dragged him down the path of insanity that had befallen all of the Skull Kids. He came skidding to a halt when he looked at the young boy in front of him.

The child couldn't have been any older than ten. Obviously lost, but there was a sneaky smile on his face. Blond hair framed his face and he wore very well-made clothes of forest green. This boy was no mere lost child, he came from a family that had a lot of money. Only families of that stature could afford such detailed and hardy clothing.

"Who are you?" Mido asked, glaring at the clothing. It seemed too similar to the clothing the Kokiri wore, there was even a hat. He saw the beginnings of the Kokiri symbol on the boy's chest. It angered him. No one outside of their home was to have that symbol. There were only two exceptions; The Royal Family, and him.

"Hm...?" The boy hummed, tilting his head as he stared intently at Mido. "The boy with marks on his face and a permanent scowl.. Could you be him?" he asked, his voice light. The words seem to lift up into the air as he spoke, as if the wind was stealing them away.

"I asked you a question!" Usually Mido was kinder to the lost children they found, but something about this boy irked him. He seemed too familiar. He held his arms out, pushing the Know-It-All brother back behind him. "Tell me, what is your name?"

"You have to be," once again, the boy wasn't paying much attention to what Mido said to him. "Hehehe, my name is my own. You don't know me, but I know you; Mido, leader of the Kokiri children."

Mido scowled, gritting his teeth. He saw the glint of blue in those eyes, crinkled from smiling so much. The proud posture, the air of importance, and the voice of a well educated child. He glanced down at his boots, spotting the dirtied buckles. The Hylian crest. This boy was a member of the Royal Family. That answered one question.

But the one he needed to know; How on earth did he know about the Kokiri. They had been hidden for years, becoming nothing but fairies in the stories passed around.

"I can't really remember my name," the boy finally spoke after some minutes. He frowned for a moment. Already the forest was working its magic, seeping into the boy and changing him. They had to get him out of the Lost Woods!

Taking him back to the Kokiri homes would be bad. Once he goes there, as a child, he could not ever leave. The flow of time was different there. Once you were there, the forest wouldn't let you leave so easily. The forest had already lost children, it couldn't lose anymore. Could they really do this to this young boy, who obviously was still wanted at home?

"Bring him with us," Mido ordered, turning to lead the way back.

The trek back to the village was short. Mido had been there for so long, he knew the correct path like the lines on his palm. When they returned to the Kokiri village, Mido pushed the young boy in front of him. He watched the boy quickly regain his balance, almost dancing as he turned to look back at him.

"Tell me," Mido began, his voice was firm. Many of the other Kokiri ventured closer, staring at the new boy. Wondering what was going on.

"Who are you? Why do you look like him?" Mido spat the final word, anger filling his blue eyes.

"Hmmm..?" The boy hummed joyously, that grin returning to his face within a matter of seconds. "I'm sure you remember him. The boy that left the forest."

"Answer me!" screamed Mido.

"A sword that was never returned. The events that followed.."

Mido growled, suddenly grabbing the front of the child's shirt. Royal Family, or not, he needed to know his place and answer. He slammed him against a tree trunk, glaring down at him. Everything about this kid filled him with anger. That blond hair, those eyes, that seemingly careless smile. It was too similar!

"I will ask you one last time," Mido said, his voice low and full of venom. "Who. Are. You?"

Fado seemed unfazed by the sudden roughness. He just kept on smiling up at him. "I am the youngest son of Queen Zelda, a descendant of Hyrule's legendary Hero."

Mido growled, tossing him to the side. "You do not belong here!" he yelled, ignoring the gasps from the female Kokiri as the little boy landed on the ground. "We can't take you back, though," he muttered.

The route to Hyrule field had long been closed, overgrown by the trees. And they couldn't risk taking the boy through the Lost Woods. It was obvious the magic was already taking its toll on the boy. Another minute and he'd begin changing into a Skull Kid.

Fado just sat on the ground, staring up at the Kokiri leader. Watching his every move, trying to see what he would do next.

"You're his... You're his.." Mido nearly screamed in anger. "No! It's not fair! His memory was finally gone! His name was all but forgotten!

Why did you come here!"

"I don't know," the boy finally spoke, actually answering. "I had always dreamed of seeing the forest that my mother told me stories abou. The forest that no one goes to, the forest filled with fairies and children. But, I had never actually desired to come here. Until.."

Mido turned to glare at him, motioning for him to finish.

"Until a voice in the wind called me. It was so sad, and alone. Someone needed me. It called my name and I soon found myself here."

Mido remained silent, he didn't want to speak. Anger was already filling his tiny body, threatening to take over rational thoughts. It had been so long since he had such dark thoughts like that.

Minutes passed in silence, seeming like decades. The two young boys just stared at each other, a challenge between them. Who would be first to break the silence? To say what needed to be said?

"As I said," Mido finally spoke, his voice cracking in anger. "We can't take you back. The path to Hyrule is blocked. And, if we take you back into the Lost Woods, you'll become a Skull Kid," he scowled. He didn't want the boy to stay here. If the Royal Family ever found out where he was.. It would be disastrous.

The blond nodded, he had known this would happen. He had weighed his choices before running to the woods. "So, I'll be staying here then?" he asked.

"If you can find a fairy partner," Mido said, his tone dark. "If you don't, I'll gladly push you back into the woods."

"Mido!" one of the boys shouted, shocked their leader would say such terrible things. The crowd of Kokiri was erupting with quiet chatter, eyes shifting between the two boys.

"Silence! I will not allow another of his blood to stay here if they cannot find a fairy. Do you remember what happened last time?" Mido stomped his foot, looking at all of them. "Our sword was taken, never returned. Our father, the Great Deku Tree, had died. His Sprout is now grown, but it's not the same! Strange monsters came into our home, driving Saria off to the mansion in the Meadow. She's gone now!" He seemed to struggle with the words, emotions flying about. Even his little fairy seemed confused.

The new boy didn't understand the hatred coming from the older one. He had never truly learned why his ancestor was despised by this boy. And, he knew he probably never will.

"Alright," he said once Mido had gone silent. "I'll try. I'll try to find a fairy that will be my friend, my partner. If I cannot, I will leave. Lost, or not."

All the other Kokiri seemed unsure of this. Most were much older than any adult in Hyrule, they didn't feel right about a little boy just leaving. Many of the girls were already worried for the little one.

"You'll need a name," one girl finally said, looking up to Mido. "He can't remember his, we should at least give him a new on-"

"Fado."

All eyes were on the boy now. No one dared speak, or even breathe.

Mido stared at him, blue eyes filled with rage. "Excuse me?"

"That's the name I shall take," the blond said, there was no smile on his face. He was serious. "It's similar to my old name, I can remember that much. I know mine started with a 'Fa'," he said. He took a deep breath. "I.. I noticed she was gone," he turned his back to Mido, staring at the ground. "I'm not trying to replace her, but that name.. It was the one that really stuck out to me in the stories. She seemed like an amazing girl," he whispered.

Mido stood there for a few moments, before turning his back to all of them. "Do what you want. I will never accept you as one of us. Nor will I call you by that name, Boy," he whispered, walking off towards his house.

Fado just turned to stare at the retreating figure. He sighed, humming a familiar tune that still echoed within the oldest parts of the forest.

Author's Notes: Written because I wanted to. This came from my headcannon that Fado, the Wind Sage, was a descendant of Zelda from Ocarina of Time. One person requested Link as well, since he kinda looks like Link. Though, I prefer Ocarina of Time Link be with Malon.. Alternate timelines~ Also, there was some rumor that Fado, the female Kokiri, was suppose to have a bigger role and be the Wind Sage in Ocarina of Time. That may explain where the whole additional two sages came from, but I'm unsure. I'm just humoring this little theory, to shut some people up.

I really have nothing to say about this. It didn't come out quite how I wanted, but I suppose it'll have to do.

Please review.

Also, please note that none of these stories will be in any particular order.
