Link walked into the hidden room contained within the Statue of the Goddess. He had followed the magical-flying-fairy-lady-thing into this chamber, and there, in front of him, rested the sword that would seal his fate as the hero of destiny. The sword began to glow. As Link walked up to it, the sound of heavy footsteps approached behind him, and an angry looking Groose grabbed him by his shirt, and lifted him off the ground before he could even react.
"You got a lot of nerve, beating me in the Wing Ceremony! You think you're better than me, don't you! Huh? You little runt, I'm gonna…"
As Groose continued to drill the young hero-to-be, the spirit within the sword arose with a faint hum. Her blue figure glistened in the dimly lit sword chamber.
"Master ?", she called out, watching the two struggle with each other. Link had broken free of Groose's grip, and was now trying to wildly throw punches at him. Groose easily dodged these, and shoved Link out of the way. Link stumbled backwards, fell, and smashed his head on one of the pillars. He descended to the floor, his limp body almost flailing in slow motion. Groose simply shrugged it off. I mean really, he was nothing important. Who should care that he was injured or not? On the other, Hylia forbid something should happen to Groose.
He curiously walked up to the pedestal, looking at the sword. It was a pretty cool sword. Groose glanced around, looking for that blue figure that had seemed to emerge from within the sword itself. She was nowhere to be found. So, Groose took the sword, and cautiously pulled it out of the pedestal it rest in.
"Well?" Groose asked aloud. He had expected something to happen, because after all, what idiot leaves a dumb old normal sword inside a hidden chamber, guarded by that… blue thing. Groose waved it around, wildly swinging the sword from side to side. "Come on, what's the matter with this stupid thing?". Groose started pounding on the hilt, trying to get some reaction from within the sword.
"Are you quite finished?"
Groose dropped the sword out of shock, nearly impaling his foot. "Who said that?" he inquired. "Is it that blue fairy thing?"
"I prefer the designation 'Fi', but you may call me by whatever you like, master."
"Master? Whoa whoa, I never agreed to anything…"
"Are you not the hero of legend, chosen to defeat evil by the goddesses?"
"Uh, hero… yeah, that sounds about right. Does this 'legend' mention anything about my awesome pompadour?"
A loud shout arose from behind the two, interrupting their conversation. "Groose! What the hell did you do!? Is that Link, passed out on the floor?"
Groose turned to see Headmaster Gaepora, staring at him. "I can explain, you see, I-"
"I don't care what happened, it's what is going to happen," Gaepora cut him off. Groose intently listened, and Fi loomed over him, casting a faint blue tint over him. "You are the chosen hero of the goddess. I will admit, at first I thought it was going to be Link-", he glanced over at the rag doll-like body awkwardly laying on the floor "-but I think the spirit of the sword takes to you as her master."
Gaepora continued, "A handful of words have been passed down from generation to generation, a story of how the hero is supposed to save our world in a time of need." Gaepora cleared his throat, and recited in a deep, proud voice, "When the light of the goddess's sword shines bright, the great apocalypse will awake from its long slumber." "Do not fear, for it is then that a youth, guided by my hand, shall reveal himself in a place most sacred."
The blue figure spoke up, "Ah yes, the oral tradition, one of the least reliable methods of information retention and transmission."
Gaepora looked up, stunned. "Are you questioning my knowledge of the ancient scrolls? How dare you, servant of the Goddess!" He turned to Groose, saying, "Now you must go and rescue Zelda. You must save the land from the evil lurking within it. The world's fate is in your hands." Groose merely smirked at the proposition. He of all people, was going to save the people he didn't even like? But then again, there was Zelda… yeah, he guessed he could save her.
While he wasn't watching, Fi summoned an emerald tablet. After 'accidentally' dropping it on Gaepora, she handed it to Groose, who then inserted it into the tablet-shaped opening in the wall in front of him, absent-mindedly. Gaepora got up off the ground, and informed Groose of what might lay ahead.
"So, are you up to the task?"
"Uh… ok."
"Good, now leave this chamber, and begin your adventure."
As Groose walked out he door, sword in hand, ready to face whatever the hell was out there waiting for him, he heard a voice call out behind him.
"And take that blue bitch with you, too!"
