Saria's Story Part1

Saria’s Story. (PG)
TBone Tony

I was just a Kokiri girl and he was just Hyrulian boy.
Even though we were friends for so long, our hearts were not meant to be.

It all started like any other day, I would jump out of my little bed and I would then run out to Link’s house in Kokiri Village to greet my best friend Link each morning.
“Hi Link!” I yelled from a distance away.
“Saria!!!” Link yelled.
Even though he only knew a few words at age 10, he was able to say my name very well.
But today, I noticed that there was something with Link that was new, he had a fairy.
“Oh my goddess!!! YOU HAVE A FAIRY!!!!!” I yelled excitedly.
“She…Navi…Pain in butt!!” Link said.
Navi the fairy then banged Link on his head.
“Hahahahaha!!!!” I laughed.
Even though Link could not talk well and other Kokiri’s don’t understand what he is saying, his words can make me giggle like a little girl that I am.
“Link…you must go to the Great Deku Tree. He is dying and he needs your help.” Shouts Navi.
Suddenly a shock went though my body as Navi mentioned that the Great Deku Tree was in trouble.
“Oh no…Link we got to go to the Great Deku Tree, he is the father of our forest.” I suggested immediately.
Even though I was proud of Link finally having a fairy, it seemed that Link had Navi for a more important reason.

Before Link could go to the Deku Tree, I suggested that he should have the Kokiri Sword and the Deku Shield for protection, I also brought a Deku stick from the Kokiri shop so use as a weapon to help Link.

As we both went to see the Great Deku Tree, Link and I realised that large spiders called Skulltulas had infected the Great Deku Tree.  
So we were there to try and flush them all out.

“Link…I don’t like the look of this…” I gasped as I saw the horror inside the Great Deku Tree.
It was awful with sticky silky webs everywhere.
But I tried not to let all the webs or even the Skulltulas scare me as Link was there beside me and I felt that he gives me the bravery to face my own nightmares as long as he is near me.
But suddenly…
“Yeeaahhhh!!!!!” Link yelled as he swiped his Kokiri sword into the darkness, there was a loud noise and a little creepy Skulltula fell before his knees.
It was only a small one, until the other ones came.
“Saria, Sei…DAHHHH!!!!” Link shouted letting me know there was danger around.
But his warning was no use as I did not realise that there was a Skulltulas right behind me until…
“AAIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!” I screamed as I was dragged down a hole and then there was darkness.

When I woke up, I could not move my arms.
“Ugh…where am I?” I said to myself.
But I wished that I had not asked because a light of fire came on from a lit torch and I saw around myself that I was stuck in a large spider/Skulltula web.
Also my body was cocooned from my feet up to my shoulders leaving only my head and neck exposed.
And all around me were all these spidery Skulltulas, all of them were around me and I tried to wiggle but my body was stuck inside the cocoon wrapped around me. I could not move, could not escape.
Suddenly a large creepy monster that was a Gohma came towards me.
I heard that the Gohma was the mother of all these spider looking Skulltulas and I stared in horror as its large Parasitic Armored Arachnid body came towards me and it’s large eye stared towards my body wrapped in the cocoon.
“LINK!!!! HELP!!!!!” I screamed franticly.
“SARIAAAAA, ZEYAAHHHHH!!!!!!” Came a loud noise from above me.
It was Link, he shot the Gohma in the eye with his newly found sling shot and he cut the webbing around me and my body fell into his arms still wrapped tightly in my cocoon I was trapped in.
Later after Link bravely fought and killed the queen Gohma, all the Skulltulas quickly disappeared and the Deku Tree was safe.
Or so we thought…

Afterwards Link slashed me out of my cocoon, I could finally move my arms and legs again, plus my stomach was able to breathe easy again as the cocoon was really tight against my stomach earlier making it very hard for me to breathe before Link cut me loose.
“Thanks for saving my life Link, I thought I was going to die before.” I said.
Link did not say anything, instead he looked at me with a smile and he placed his arms around me. I could felt my chest touch Link’s strong young chest though our tunics as we both hugged deeply like innocent Kokiri children always did in the forest.
   
Link and I then made our way out of the Great Deku Tree, Link’s fairy Navi then flew up to the father of our forest to tell him about how Link bravely saved my life and how he killed the queen Gohma that was responsible for his sickness. But then came the horrible news that even though we killed Gohma and got rid of al the Skulltulas, it was not enough to save the Great Deku Tree.
But before he died, the Great Deku Tree told Link that there was this strange man that came to this forest searching for the Kokiri Emerald and since the Great Deku Tree could not give it to this man, the stranger then placed a curse on the Great Deku Tree causing the outbreak of spidery creatures inside the Deku Tree.
Even though he was going to die, there was still hope as the Great Deku Tree then game Link the Kokiri Emerald, he then said that if Link could also gather the two other Sacred Stones of the Goddesses then he would be able to defeat the man that placed the curse on our father of the forest, but that would also mean that Link would have to leave the Kokiri forest forever.

After the Great Deku Tree died, all the Kokiri children wanted to know what happened to our father of the forest, When I told them that our father the Great Deku Tree was dead, they all blamed Link and I was powerless to stop their angry mob of Kokiri children as they tried to kick and spit on poor Link.
I had not even told them how Link had saved my life.

After the incident with the Kokiri Children, I found Link on the wooden bridge heading out of Kokiri forest.
He looked at me with tears in his eyes, Link had never been outside of the forest before and no Kokiri had ever ventured into the land of Hyrule beyond the forest.
But I knew in my heart that he had to do it. Link had to see the Princess of Hyrule in her castle and tell her what happened to the Great Deku Tree and find a way to stop that evil man that was responsible for the Great Deku Tree’s death.
But before Link was about to run off, I gave him my secret treasure, my fairy ocarina that I made just for him yesterday.
“I knew that you were different from all the other Kokiri, you were destined to leave this forest.” I said softly.
“Saria…oh…wwaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!” Link began to cry.
I hugged Link deeply in my arms as his tears fell onto my shirt. He did not want to leave without me, but I can’t leave the forest because I would die if I did.

Link was never a Kokiri, he was a Hyrulian boy that I had found as a baby, I told him about this as I hugged him in my arms explaining that I was only very young when I had found his little baby body laying within the leaves just inside the boundary of the Kokiri forest, I then took him to the Great Deku Tree where he told me that I should keep Link’s true identity a secret from all the other Kokiri children for they would never understand why Link never had a fairy before, because we was not born like a real Kokiri child was.
But I stayed with Link as a friend and I still was his friend, and he was my best friend too as I had never met a boy like Link before.

After I told Link how I felt about him, I gasped as he then leaned his lips towards me and kissed my lips with his.
A strange feeling then went though my entire body as this was my very first kiss in my life, normally Kokiri children would not kiss but Link was the first one to kiss me, he is the only one to kiss me as he was not a real Kokiri.
But I stayed in his arms wrapped around my body and we shared our last moments together kissing before he then left the Kokiri forest forever.
