AN: Hi! This is my First Story in FF. So please little to no flames. Anyways enjoy!
I do not own Skyward Sword. Miyamoto/Nintendo does.
Flapping of wings. Feathers of red. Eyes of dark. Talons of orange.
The Crimson Loftwing is a powerful and rare Loftwing to have in Skyloft. Imagine the Skyloftians surprise when they spotted one in the sky. The dark eyes scanned the island below, flying in circles as if to find something.
They were right. The Crimson Loftwing was looking for something. A partner. It kept calling into the island of Skyloft below, disturbing some of the wildlife living below, but it kept calling for its partner.
Rumors occurred during the time, about its looking for something, or showing them an omen, and everyone went out to see the red bird. Except for someone. Link. He was too busy stuck in detention to even go out. He was framed for Groose's doing, and now he was stuck there for 15 minutes, before he can leave the Sky Academy.
Link stared out of the window, seeing the Loftwings above and feeling really bored, as he tapped nervously on the table, desperately wanting to see the Loftwing for himself. With a hand on carrying his head, and arm on table, Link stared out, trying to see the red blur that everyone was talking about.
"Link. You can go now." Link snapped out of his stupor, seeing that the teacher was allowing him to go. Link scurried out of the room, stuffing his books in his bag and he hurried outside to find the bird.
It was too late. The bird was gone. The sun was setting, and Link sighed. He didn't hear the bird's calls again in the dark sky. Everyone knew that Loftwings can't really see properly in the dark, so the Crimson Loftwing must have left to have shelter. He trudge up the stair that was leading to the Statue of the Goddess, knowing that Zelda was up there. He heard chatter up there, so he stopped and tried to eavesdrop.
"-You know that Crimson Loftwing is mine!" Link perked up, trying find out who that male voice was until he realized it was just Groose. Why does he think the bird is his? It might be for someone else!
"I don't think so..." Conversations went for a little while longer until Link heard Zelda ask Groose to leave. The red head went down the steps, glaring as soon he saw Link, muttering under his breath about Link.
Link went up the steps, seeing Zelda waiting for him. She sat in the middle of the circle, smiling as soon she saw Link. Link smiled back and sat down next to her, and they both looked into the dark sky, seeing the stars up close.
"I wonder what the Crimson Loftwing is here for..." Zelda mumbled aloud, her eyes showing to others that she is thinking really hard.
Link merely shrugged. "I think he's here for something..." He trailed off, not really knowing of the intentions of the Crimson Loftwing. Zelda leaned into Link, feeling warmth spread through her body as soon she made contact with Link, making her blush slightly. Link didn't mind.
"Yeah... but what? I think he's here for a partner! But what is Crimson Loftwing doing here? I thought they disappeared or something." Zelda said aloud, speaking what's on her mind.
Link pondered about that too. "Yeah... It's strange isn't it? I hope he comes back tomorrow. I never really met him, I was stuck in detention!"
The two talked for a while, before they went back to the Sky Academy, separating to get back to their own bedrooms. Link didn't bother to change his clothes, he jumped into his bed, his head hitting the soft surface of his pillow. Link took one look at his window, seeing the stars twinkle in the dark sky.
"I hope he comes back..." Link murmured once again, muffled by the pillow, and he drifted into sleep, hearing the call of the Crimson Loftwing play into his head one more time.
