"It had lots of pointed...um...points. There were flapping cloths on it too."
She'd never seen a castle before. Let alone any building that wasn't built into a tree.

Linkle nodded! That sounded like the right thing to do!
"That sounds good!~ I'm sure that the universe will lead you right to where you need to go! What did the building look like?"

"My heart...my heart is telling me..."
She closes her eyes, thinking.
"I should...head to a big building. It's huge. Like nothing I've seen before. There's someone there I think that wants to see me."

That gem looked absolutely stunning...Just like a sacred treasure should!
"So you are to take it away from the forest?....What is your hero heart telling you right now?"

Saria hesitates for a moment, before opening her satchel. Inside is a bright green gemstone with golden ornamentation. It almost resembles a seed!
"...I have it. I took it from the forest on the Deku Tree's orders."

(My headcanon is that Saria is more overtly blessed by Farore than Link is, thanks to her deeper connection with life, nature and wind. AKA, she gets Farore's Wind first, then Nayru's Love, then finally Din's Fire.)

The blonde pauses for a moment...So this evil was after something? It sounded like there are multiple of them...
"Where is that 'Spiritual Stone' now?"
"Where is that 'Spiritual Stone' now?"
"He said that I had to collect these stones...they're called 'Spiritual Stones'."
She shakes her head.
"He said that it left the forest after he refused to give up the Spiritual Stone."

(No way the RP scene forced a word to become one of the most mentioned words on Bsky-
I can't think of any other reason why the word 'starter' would be used otherwise.)

"The Deku tree....Do you know if whatever did it is still in the forest or not?"
It didn't sound good that someone managed to kill such a sacred figure...
"Did the Deku Tree say anything else?"

"Um..."
She feels her hand, but aside from a small ear twitch, she doesn't respond to it.
"I know whatever it is cursed the Deku Tree. And it was a curse that was so strong that it made him die."

"Well...."
It seemed like this was more serious than Linkle thought...She takes a breath before placing a hand on Saria's shoulder.
"How about we put our heads together? What do you know about this evil right now?"

"What if that was the whole reason I was allowed to stay in the Forest? What if he needed me to help him? I...I failed him..."
She brings her legs up to her chest, hugging them.
"I don't want my friends to end up gone too. That's why I'm out here, so I can figure out how to stop the evil

There's a pause as Linkle takes in that information....This seemed rather heavy for a child to be dealing with.
"...You're still breathing, aren't you?"
She'd ask, looking at Saria.
"I'm positive that you did everything you could! You have a whole life ahead of you to improve, and get better!-

Saria makes her way over to the stump, not as much of a spring in her step as her new friend. She sits down next to her, looking up.
"I didn't get to save somebody really important...so I'm a failure as a hero."

The blonde looks around for a moment before jogging over to a tree stump, patting the spot next to her once she sits down.

"I have a hero's heart?"
Well she did...didn't...save the Deku Tree. How could she have saved him when he died right in front of her? Most horrifying thing she ever did see.
Mido believed her of course, but...
"I don't know about that one."

"To put it in reference to a Skulltula.....You need the courage to face one, the power to follow through on your attacks, and the wisdom to know how it'll react, and it's patterns!~"
Linkle explains to her new friend with a smile.

Saria places a hand on the nut, staring at it for a moment before looking up at her friend.

"You can stun them? Oh!"
Right, Deku Nuts! She'd played pranks on Fado a number of times by throwing them at her! Mido had stern words for her every time though. Didn't stop her, can't stop won't stop!
"They always look at me with those two huge eyes though. Until they spin around."

Linkle walks over to a patch of grass, swinging her sword in order to cut it....Once that was done, she picks up a Deku nut!
"It's easier to either sneak by, or get to their weak spot if you throw one of these at them!"

"It's their bottoms isn't it? Not their butts but...their bellies. I've dealt with a couple of them, but I didn't like it."
The noise they made when Saria stuck her Kokiri Sword in them wasn't the most fun thing ever.
"Oh but if you hit them wrong they just spin around and throw you away!"

"I can show you what I know about them!~"

Linkle had a point though. It'd make the forest safer for any Kokiri that wandered out too far. Who knew what those things would do to her friends!

"Courage?"
Can she really do things that other people can't? The Deku Tree seemed to think so, and so did Lumia.

Linkle can't help but chuckle a little bit...A couple years ago, she probably would've been similar to Saria.
"Well, sometimes super short people can do things that tall people can't!~ You just have to have the courage to face everything head on!"

She proudly stands up straight, barely reaching Linkle's chest in height.
