[Link had warped them to a small back ally.]
Link: Saria... -Link was staring at her-
[He knew that. He didn't care. She was beautiful. Her emerald hair framed her soft face, her sky-blue eyes shined with happiness. Towards him. He wanted to kiss her again.]
Saria: Link...I have something to tell you. -She took a deep breath.-
[What was she going to say? Would it be good, bad? Would she cruelly reject him after all this?]
Saria: Link... -she began, she looked up at him, into his eyes- I love you.
Link: (She loves me...she loves me...) You love me!? -Link jumped into the air, Hugging her tightly.-
[Link had never been so happy in his life! He stared into her eyes.]
Link: Saria, I love you too.
[All worries flew out of his mind, the fact that he was a Hylian, and she was a Kokiri. It didn't matter, He loved her, and she loved him. He gave her another kiss.]
-------------------------------------
[Saria was ecstatic. Link loved her! He pressed his lips against hers, "kissing" her. It was all worth it. Everything she had done, it was worth it. She pulled back.]
Saria: Link, don't ever leave me.
Link: -looked at her- Saria-
Saria: Promise me. -She gave him The Look, the look all girls know how to give boys in order get what they want.-
Link: -faltered- OK Saria, I promise I'll never leave you. -he held her close.- (This isn't so bad.)
[She seemed so small, so fragile, in his arms.]
Link: "I promise I'll never let you get hurt..." -he whispered-
-------------------------------------
[Kalo looked on, horrified at what he was seeing.]
Kalo: Saria! Can't you see! You are only setting yourself up to be hurt!
Shadow: -chuckled- You know, fairy, they can't see or hear us. We aren't on the same plane of existence as them.
Kalo: -glared at Shadow- You think setting them up for heartbreak is funny! scream
Zero: -laughed- My dear fairy! They won't live long enough to suffer heart break!
Shadow: Now is my cue. -disappears-
-------------------------------------
Malon was thinking about her new friend.
Malon: I wonder if she found Link yet.
[Link was the first real friend she had made. They met in the Market. His strange clothing, his confused face, and that cute fairy drew her to him. They became fast friends. Malon had never felt any romantic attachment towards Link, though her dad often teased her about him. Once even asking Link if he wanted to marry her! Links reaction to that had been amusing, or so Talon said. But when Saria had turned up, she knew this was the friend Link had talked about non-stop. Saria was everything Link had said she was. Malon had taken an instant liking to her. So she had trusted her with Epona, and her song.]
Ingo: Malon! Are the cows fed! scream
[Ingo, the head ranch hand, shouted. Link didn't like Ingo, for some reason, and the two of them had gotten into some shouting matches, Link showing off his rather, impressive vocabulary of curse words. Some of which Malon had never even heard before, and she lived on a ranch!]
Malon: Yes, Mr. Ingo.
[Malon heard something familiar, an Ocarina!]
Malon: Link? Or maybe Saria? -Malon followed the sound-
[She found neither Link nor Saria. It was a young man, cloaked, playing a red ocarina. Malon listened to this song. It sounded sad, seeming to echo through her soul. It ended softly, seeming to fade away like a gasping breath. The man looked up; she could see only his eyes.]
????: Did you like my song?
Malon: -was put back by his eyes, But she responded anyway- Yes, it is very beautiful.
????: -smiled- Thank you, it is called the Nocturne of Shadow. It is a sacred song of the Sheikah.
Malon: Wow, a Sheikah song? Are you a Sheikah? -Malon felt attracted to the mysterious man-
Shadow: Well, I am called Shadow. -he said. Giving her a smile, which she could see even though the rest of his face was concealed- And I have a gift for you, Malon.
Malon: -surprised- Why would you be giving me a gift?
Shadow: -smiled gently- I have been watching you for a while Malon, only now have I managed to speak you.
Malon: -blushed- A secret admirer?! Well...what is the gift?
Shadow: -chuckled and held up a small bag- Actually it's more like gifts. A Fire Rod and an Ice Rod. It will take some training to use them, but I think you can handle It. -he handed the bag to her- One thing, Link will be looking for the Sages soon, go with him. -Then, he vanished-
[Malon gasped in shock. She had heard that Sheikah were capable of vanishing in thin air, but she never thought it was true! Malon opened the bag; it was a lot larger on the inside then on the outside. Inside were two scepters. One red and one blue.]
Malon: They look just like the ones in mom's book...no...don't think about that.
[Malon closed the bag and went into her house.]
-------------------------------------
Kalo: OK...what was that for? What part of your grand scheme involves giving a farm girl forbidden magical weapons?
Shadow: -shrugged- I just felt like it would make things more interesting to have her around.
Zero: It proved to be a little "make it up as we go along" part of the plan.
Kalo: -stared- You mean that had no reason whatsoever?!
Shadow: -gave him a fierce grin- Now who said that? twisted
