A New Evil: Ch. 11

Chapter 11: Reunited
Link arrived at the entrance to Kokiri Forest and hitched Epona to a tree. He crossed the bridge and entered the forest. A Kokiri child walked up to Link as soon as he set foot in the forest. It was Mido, Link's childhood rival. "What are you doing in the forest? How'd you get in here?" Mido asked impatiently.
"Hi, Mido," said Link happily. "It's been a while! How are you, my friend? I see you're still guarding the forest."
"Who are you?" asked Mido. "I've never met you, and yet you have a vague familiarity about you." Oh yeah, thought Link. The Kokiri children don't remember me when I grow up. I forgot about that little detail.
"Nevermind about my name," said Link. He pushed through Mido and walked on toward the Lost Woods. He navigated through the maze and stopped at the entrance to the Sacred Forest Meadow. "Saria?" asked Link. "Are you there?"
"Yes, Link," said a melancholy voice. Suddenly, Saria appeared out of nowhere, but this time, she was not alone. Another figure appeared next to Saria.
"Who are you?" Link asked.
"That is not your concern," Saria said coldly.
"No, Saria. It's all right. I want him to know my name," the figure said hile turning to Link. "I am Orok," he said while stepping into the light. Link clenched his fists and took a step forward.
"You're a skull kid!" Link said with a surprised look. "How did you get into this meadow! This is a sacred place! You're not supposed to be here!" screamed Link.
"Link, stop it!" cried Saria. "He's with me! It's okay!" Saria ran up to Link and hugged him tightly. She began to sob. "Oh, where have you been all these years!" sobbed Saria.
"I'm sorry," said Link as he hugged Saria. Orok watched as Saria and Link were reunited. "Come," he said. "It's getting dark. We should find someplace to rest." The three made their way back to Saria's house in Kokiri Forest to stay for the night.
