A/N: Hi, everybody! I'm Kayla, and here is my first Zelda story! It is not my first fic, but it is the first proper one I upload onto this account. I've always loved the couple of CielaxLinebeck. :3 I've had this story in my head for a long time, so I pretty much know what's gonna happen in it. :D Though I will make stuff up as I go. ;P

Disclaimer: Just in case you were wondering, I do not own Zelda or any of its characters. Just for your information.

Anyway, before I ramble to both out deaths, here is the first chapter!

Ciela sighed, as she looked at the ocean spreading far before her. The waves lapped at the white sand, and in the southern beach of Mercay Island, everything was calm. The only sound were the waves of the sea, back and forth, like the breathing of some gigantic monster. And the seagulls. They flew over her as if inviting her to explore the sky with them. But she wasn't in the mood. She hadn't been in the mood for anything in a long time. Ciela could see a tiny boat in the distance. It probably had spent the day in the port, and was now leaving again, into the vast sea. She followed it with longing eyes until it dissapeared from view.

When the sun started setting, she flew back to grampa's house. Oshus still lived as an old man on the outskirts of Mercay Island, as peace had returned to the World of the Ocean King. Ciela had stayed with him, instead of leaving for Molida Island, where the Temple of Courage was. She prefered her life as a fairy, as she still wasn't used to being the Spirit of Courage.

"I'm home." She said as she flew in through a window. She saw Oshus had left a tiny plate of food for her.

"Hm?" The old man turned to her. "What have you been doing?"

"Nothing, as always." Ciela sat beside the food. Oshus prefered eating whatever whales eat when he went into the sea in his true form. Ew. "There isn't anything interesting to do since Link left." She continued in a bored voice.

Oshus looked as her, and didn't say anything for a minute. Then he sighed. "Does your life as a Spirit displease you, Ciela?"

"No! It's not that..." She said quickly. Or was it? "It's just... I miss the adventure, and seeing new places."

"You can always explore the ocean whenever it pleases you. It's our home."

"It's not the same..." She said sadly. "It's not the same without them. Besides, I already know this world as the palm of my hand*."

"I see..." He sat down, a thoughtful look on his face. "Would you like to see Link again?"

"Of course I would!" She said, perking up. But then she sighed again. "But I know it's impossible... We live in two different worlds."

Oshus didn't say anything for a long time. The sky was dark by now. He looked outside the window and spoke carefully, "Well... This world is peacefull now, and it no longer requires the help of the spirits. At least for now."

Ciela looked at him from the corner of her eye. "Your point?"

He sighed again, and looked at her seriously. "I can see you are unhappy here. If it is your wish, I can take you to the other side, where Link and his friends went."

She stared at him for a minute, wondering if he was serious. Her heart started beating really hard, and she had to shake her head to clear it before speaking. Is this real? Ciela thought. Or is it just another dream of mine? "But I have a duty here! You need me, I'm a Spirit."

"I need you to be happy. Also, as I said before, there is not immediate need for your power. I could leave a passage open for you to return once in a while."

"Granpa... Are you saying this seriously?" Her voice broke from unbelieving joy.

"Of course. I could have the passage ready for tomorrow night."

"Oh, grampa!" Ciela flew into the air and around him in exitement. "This is great! Thank you!"

"Now, now, wait a second." He calmed her down a bit. "It isn't that simple. In the world you are going to, fairies are not common. Not to say spirits. Also, if you want to stay permanently, or for a long time, your fairy form would prove quite a problem."

"What do you mean?" She asked, worried that she may not be able to go after all.

"I will also give you to power to turn human, Ciela." Oshus said. "That way, you'll find yourself much more comfortable among the human world. Do you still want to go?"

Ciela gulped. Human... She had lived for many years in company of them, watching them and learning what they lived like. But she had never considered the possibility of becoming one.

"Ciela?"

She nodded fervently. "Yes, of course I still want to go!"

Oshus smiled. "Then I'll have to portal ready for you to leave tomorrow night. I will open it in the sea, where my power is strongest. You will have already transformed when you reach the other side."

"Thank you so much, grampa!" Ciela said. "But I'm going to miss you so much."

"Remember, you must return here at least every year, so I know you are all right and just in case I need you."

"Yes, of course!" Ciela flew to the window, and sat on the edge, looking out at the ocean. She couldn't wait for tomorrow, but at the same time, deep inside her heart, she was terrified. Sometimes she wondered if she deserved to be the Spirit of Courage. But she guessed that courage did not mean not to have any fear, but to be able to push it aside and not let it stop you.

*Does she even have hands? lol

A/N: I know, I know, it's short. Very short. But please take this as a test, just a small prologe to start the story and for you to tell me what you like and dislike, or any questions you might have.
