The Ocarina of Time lowers from spectral lips, a spiritual form of his former self. Shade's ears twitch, moving through the secret path he takes to warp his way close to Saria. Armor clanking echoed around him as he walked through the Ether and reached... The Lost Woods. 

Apprehension filled practically every part of it. As it walked, the form it had carefully tried to keep faded away. The illusion left nothing but bones behind. The last thing he wanted to do was scare his friend. But staying away from the comfort of someone who he would consider to be like his older sister... Especially after so long and *Especially* When he had never gotten to see her ever again once he had left the Kokiri Forest... 

A red light pierced the fog, the sound of bones and armor rattling at a quickened rate— and slowing when it finally approached. A figure.

... Who was older. Another thing. She was *Older*, *Not the same either* Saria had said.

"... *Saria...*" Disbelief. That was what it was. The emotion that tinged his voice so wet. Not the tears threatening to escape, somehow he was able to hold back that which he shouldn't be able to do.

She'd been waiting. That was evident enough, the girl sat on a rock with her legs kicking out. Her fairy raised idly over her shoulder, fluttering about with that musical chime of their own. The Fairy Ocarina held in her hands carefully, eyes on the ground.

Almost like so many years ago, waiting on a stump for someone destined to leave.

Her head raised and eyes widened, for a moment startling as a short gasp left her. Though it fades into something more sharp, focused. Then... It softens, all at once it's smoothed with sorrow as she moves to stand, voice tinged with sympathy.

"Oh, Link..."

The ocarina is tucked into a bag at her side as she approaches without fear. How could she? She'd recognize her little brother no matter what he looked like, he was *Hers*. And oh, how time had been cruel to him. Her hands reach out to clasp one of his carefully, offering a smile pulled by sadness.

"Oh my friend... I've missed you. I'm sorry we had to find each other like this."

Saria was older. When she had spoken of leaving the forest, it was fear that gripped his very soul. But when he listed to the voice that filtered through the parchment, a voice much like light filtering through trees in his mind, it only confirmed the suspicions. But to see one's sister, who was supposed to be young forever, *Older*...

A teenager, maybe. Maybe the same age Link had been when he pulled the sword.

*Link*... The name jarred him. It felt like it wasn't his anymore, *Had* Felt like... But between Zelda and now Saria...

Shade's hand squeezed Saria's gently, its head tilted downwards. That red light in its skull flickered like a dying candle. It was here that it began to cry. Tears that were strange, shined strangely like fairy water. It make no move to stop the flow, instead it lowered itself onto its knees. It knew from last time that may be best to do. 

"I am... I have missed you, too. For years. Centuries, maybe. Too long. I tried. I tried very hard to get back to you. To everyone. Even Mido..."

A short chuckle, though shaking, leaves him. "I am... Glad that my being here has allowed me to see you again. I am glad I did not rest just yet."

"How could the woods be so cruel to the boy it helped raise..."

There's melancholy thick in her voice, hands shifting to carefully cup the bones of his face. Her thumb shifts to wipe the tears from his cheek as though nothing had changed. Because it hadn't. Though they may be different now, a simple appearance could not jar the soul.

Yes, it was strange. She's fought many Stalchildren, even Stalfos, in her search. It came with the nature of camping under moonlight. She could have never expected her dear friend to suffer such a curse, and it pained her. To know their home rejected him, because it was the only thing to make sense.

He did not deserve it.

"We all missed you dearly. Even... Haha, even Mido was worried. You'd always been different, but I couldn't help but want to find you and make sure you were okay. I'm- I'm so happy to see you".
