Chapter 1


Bright blue eyes, a cute small nose, and golden-yellow tresses stared right back at her. 7-year old Zelda was looking at her own reflection in her mirror. She turned to her head to the side, making sure everything was perfect. Seeing nothing, but feeling the need to fix something, she fiddled with the hair clip that clustered a small portion of her hair next to her face.

She sighed.

"Zelda?" She turned to see the face of her father, Gaepora, the headmaster at the Knight's Academy. "It is time," he told her gently.

Zelda gave a small nod of her head. "I'll be right there, father," she said with a smile on her face. Her father smiled back before gently closing the door.

Zelda sighed and looked at herself once more in the mirror.
"You can do this, you can do this," she kept chanting to herself. After a few moments,
she stood up, and walked out of her room.

She turned around to meet a burly young boy with fire red hair that was flipped up.
He had a cheesy smile on his weird looking face. She rolled her eyes at the boy.

"Hi, Groose," she forced a smile on her face.

"Zelda! I uh, just uh wanted to wish you luck today," he stammered. Oddly enough, as big and tough he looked, he always got flustered around the blonde-haired girl.
"And I wanted to ask you," he continued, rubbing the back of his neck as he started to get red, "if after your ceremony, you'd want to take a ri-eh? Zelda?"

He looked to find the girl happily chattering with a blond-haired boy with blue eyes. He frowned as he saw Zelda hug the other boy.

"I'm so glad you're up, Link! I was afraid you'd sleep in and miss my ceremony," she told the boy.

The boy sheepishly looked away. "You know I wouldn't miss your Loftwing ceremony, Zelda. We're best friends, remember?"

Zelda giggled, then looked sorrowful. "I hope a Loftwing will come to me," she said.

Link put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry," he said, "Remember what you're father said,
'Each of us in Skyloft is but one half of a pair.' There's a Loftwing out there for you, Zelda.
And you're going to meet him or her today."

"But what if the Loftwing doesn't like me?" Zelda replied.

Link gave a small laugh. "Zelda, I highly doubt a Loftwing will show itself to you if it doesn't like you. Just relax, and have fun!"

Groose stomped up to the pair, having enough. "Hey pretty-boy! Sounding pretty know-it-all for a person who just received his own Loftwing two weeks ago!"

"Not just any Loftwing, Groose. It's a crimson Loftwing," Zelda glowered at the redhead.

Groose only snorted. "Whatever, I don't care if he had the best Loftwing in Skyloft. Say, Zelda, after you're ceremony, why don't you take a ride on your Loftwing with me around Skyloft? It would be much better than hanging out with newbie over here."

Link stayed silent. Not because he couldn't defend himself, but only because Groose was probably the biggest idiot on Skyloft and didn't deserve his attention.

Zelda's eyes hardened. "Thanks, but no thanks Groose. I'd rather hang out with this newbie."

Groose just crossed his arms, smirking. "Whatever," he said, "my offer still stands." And with that, he exited the building.

Zelda looked after him. "He just infuriates me so much!" she huffed.

Link laughed, "Zelda, it's no big deal."

"It is a big deal," she turned on him, "he had no right insulting you. Big talk, coming from a guy who still isn't that great of a rider himself, considering he received his Loftwing last year."

Link started steering her towards the exit, trying to calm her. "Groose is just Groose," he said, "and like I said, it's not a big deal. Right now, you need to concentrate and focus for your big event."

They reached the door. Zelda turned to face him. "Are you sure I can do this?" she asked him.

Link nodded. "Positive. You know you can do this." Zelda closed her eyes, and opened them with a smile.

"You're right," she said. They gave each other one last hug.

"I'll be out there watching. But don't look for me, concentrate on finding and sensing your Loftwing," he told her as they separated. Zelda nodded before heading out.

There was a small crowd underneath the Statue of the Goddess. Her father, Professor Owlan and Horwell, Pippit, Karane, Fledge, Groose, Cawlin and Stich, and last but not least, Link.

Zelda was standing in the center in the open area. There was a bunch of multicolored Loftwings flying overhead. Zelda looked up at them. One of them will become her companion for life. Her heart began to pound within her chest. She held the saddle up to her chest tightly.

"Please begin the ceremony," Professor Owlan called out to her.

Zelda closed her eyes, searching for the presence of her destined Loftwing. After what seemed like a long time, with nothing, her eyes brows furrowed.

"What's wrong," Pipit called out. He noticed that she had suddenly become uneasy.

"I I can't feel any presence," she said in a quivering voice. Panic seized her body. Why can't she feel it?

"Uh-oh," Karane muttered, "Has anyone from the academy ever not been matched up with a Loftwing?"

"Never. Every Loftwing has come down for his or her destined companion," Pipit answered.

"Zelda, you must calm your body and mind! You must trust that your Loftwing is up there. It will not come down if you are not at ease,
" Professor Horwell gently reminded her. He too had also detected nervousness from the girl.

Forcing herself to stay calm, Zelda took a deep breath before trying again. This time, she thought of Link, and her body immediately relaxed.
Another moment passed.

Then suddenly, she felt something. A flash of purple-blue appeared within her mind. And then, she felt a gentle breeze across her face, and another presence in front of her.

"Well I'll be " Gaepora trailed off.

"She's a beauty," she heard Pippit say. The others also made their comments.

Zelda slowly opened her eyes, and saw two four-toed feet, bluish-purple wings, a white chest, yellow beak, and golden eyes staring back at her curiously. Startled, she took a step back. This was her! This was her Loftwing!

Hesitantly, Zelda put her hand out to the bird. The Loftwing curiously looked at the hand, before edging closer, putting its beak into her hand. Slowly, Zelda maneuvered her hand up the beak and over its head, petting it. The Loftwing gave a soft cry at the menstruation.

"Beautiful, just like her," Groose sighed dreamily to himself.

Link smiled, before disappearing from the group.

Zelda gently looped the saddle over and on and Loftwing so that it settled around its chest.

Professor Owlan gave a small smile of his own before clearing his throat. "And now for the next step," he said.

As he said that, Zelda's Loftwing backed up with a cry and took off into the air. Zelda looked up in wonder and surprise. She looked at Professor Owlan.

"You must jump off the island and call your Loftwing. This moment is crucial bonding moment for you and your Loftwing," he explained.

Zelda nodded. Of course she knew that. Every student at the Academy knew that the first calling of your Loftwing is the most important time in one's life. Looking at one of the ledges, determinedly, she ran towards it, jumping off.

She spread her arms out, slowing her fall. Putting both hands to her mouth, she gave a nice long whistle. Immediately she saw a purplish-blue blur come towards her. She landed on the bird and quickly grabbed hold of its saddle. She gently tugged the saddle upward and the bird made a smooth flap of its wings, gaining altitude.

When the crowd saw that she was safely on her Loftwing, they started cheering.

"She did it!" Pippit cried, "She's on her Loftwing!"

"Look at her go! Professor Owlan, you must have taught her well. You too, Professor Horwell," Karane commented.

"You're daughter is a wonderful student, sir," Professor Owlan said to Gaepora.

"That is true. And she has such a way with animals," Professor Horwell added.

"My daughter, has her own Loftwing," Gaepora said with a proud smile on his face, "I've always imagined the day when a Loftwing would show itself to her. It's everything I imagined."

Zelda smiled and gave a wave. She scanned the crowed for her blonde-haired friend, but didn't see him. She frowned. Where was Link? He said he would be at the ceremony didn't he?

"I thought I told you to not look for me," a teasing voice came was heard from the side.

Zelda gasped as she saw Link atop his own crimson Loftwing flying right beside her. Her heart jumped for joy. She was so excited, that she had to restrain herself from jumping off her Loftwing just to hug him.

"How did I do?" she asked him.

"Perfect," he said with a smile.

The two, atop their Loftwings, flew side by side with each other. It was a peaceful, if not romantic, scene; two best friends riding the wind together.

"It's time to close up the ceremony, Zelda," Link finally spoke, "Professor Owlan is trying to get our attention."

"Right." Both hylians flew towards the crowd.

The Loftwings flew low enough for the two to jump off without getting injured. Link saw Groose giving him a hard look. Professor Owlan walked up to Zelda, handing her a bright golden harp.

"And now, you must thank the Goddess."

Zelda nodded, and took the harp. It was the Goddess's Harp. It was said to belong to the Goddess Hylia herself. She raised her hands, and started playing. It was a beautiful melody; the plucking was smooth, not too hard, and not too soft. She began to sing along.

Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess, unite earth and sky, and bring light to the land.

Oh youth, show the two whirling sails the way to the Light Tower...and before you a path shall open, and a heavenly song you shall hear.

Her voice was sweet and blended with the harp's sound. She lowered the harp as she finished.

After the ceremony, everyone went up to congratulate her.

"Great job, Zelda! All that hard work has paid off," Professor Owlan told her with Professor Howell next to him, nodding in agreement.

"You couldn't have asked for a better Loftwing. I can tell that she's a perfect fit for you," Pipit said.

"Thank you. All of you, not only for being here, but for helping me get here as well," Zelda said with a smile on her face. Her father walked up to her.

"Words can not explain how proud I am of you today," he said as he enveloped her in a hug.

"Thank you, father," she mumbled into his robe while tightening her hug. They released each other.

"Now, I'm sure you'll want to ride your Loftwing more," he began, "just make sure you're back by nightfall. You know Loftwings have horrible night vision. And it's dangerous."

"Yes, father." With that, she turned to look at Link who nodded at her. Both of them took off running to the ledge.

Groose just stood there gaping. Embarrassed and angered, he was about to take after them until Headmaster Gaepora stopped him.

"Oh, Groose. Might I have a word with you? I've heard some interesting rumors that involve you and Link's Loftwing, hm?"

Groose's face started turning red as he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Well he sure won't be flying around with Zelda anytime soon.

The childhood friends glided in the sky on their Loftwings, all of them enjoying the ride. Zelda observed Link on his crimson Loftwing, how serene and peaceful he looked. The world could be at its end, and still he'd be just gliding along the clouds. A natural.

Zelda felt herself grow a little jealous as she remembered when Link received his Loftwing. How strong their bond was as soon as the two met! If only her ceremony went that way. Her eyebrows furrowed. And he doesn't even practice as hard as the others do. He spends most of his time daydreaming!

She took one look again, and immediately her jealousy faded. He looked so happy. She let a small smile grace her features.

"Hey Zelda," Link suddenly called out to her, "Do you think you'll ever play the roll as the Goddess during the Wing Ceremony?"

Zelda laughed. "Of course! It's every girls' dream to play the Goddess roll. I mean the costume is beautiful! Not to mention you get to play the Goddess's Harp." She looked at the harp she held in her arms. She'd forgotten to give it back to Professor Owlan, but he wouldn't mind.
He'd probably think she'd use it to practice for the Wing Ceremony.

"Yeah, AND you get a sail cloth. I can't wait until I get mine uh, that is if I win the Wing Ceremony," Link sheepishly said.

She laughed then turned her attention ahead of her, looking down at the cloud barrier once in a while.

"What are you thinking Zelda?" Link asked her.

Zelda kept her eyes on the cloud barrier below them. "I'm just thinking, how the Surface would be," she answered, "No one's ever traveled below the cloud barrier. Granted, no one was ever able to get passed it."

Link looked below as well. "I'm sure it's a wonderful place to be. Probably a lot different than our Skyloft."

Zelda nodded her head. "A place, where I can feel the warm breeze. A place where the trees are huge and plentiful," she said dreamily.
She looked at Link. "You know Link, I'm glad we're best friends," she told him.

Link looked at her in shock. Than gave a smile. "I'm glad we're friends too, Zelda."

They rode on for a while longer, until the sun started to set.

"Hey Zelda, we should head back. It's getting dark," Link told her. Zelda agreed and they both headed back towards the huge floating island. As they neared the island a flash of light suddenly struck right in front of them, which turned into a big black tornado.

"What is that?" Zelda cried.

The two Loftwings gave a cry of surprise and tried to slow themselves down. Both hylians gave a cry and clung to their Loftwings for dear life. Link urged his Loftwing to turn to the side.
"Zelda! Try to get your Loftwing to turn away from it. Maybe we can just go around and avoid it!" he called out to her. With that his Loftwing flapped its wings and they slowly made their way away from the tornado.

Zelda nodded and gently but firmly tugged on the saddle to the side, urging her own Loftwing to turn. Her Loftwing turned, but when it flapped its wings to get away from the tornado, they didn't move. Instead, there was a slight pull towards the tornado. Zelda gasped.

Both Link and Zelda were being pulled in.


Somewhere beneath the clouds

They lay conscious in a forest. No sight of their Loftwings or the Goddess's Harp. they were alone. they stirred and slowly woke up.

"where are we?" zelda asks.

"I don't know, we might be on the surface." Link says.

"lets try to call our loftwings." zelda responds

"do you have your sailcloth?" Link asks.

"umm let me check." Zelda checks her pouch. "I seem to have lost it" she says sheepishly.

"than its probably a bad idea to check, if we had the sailcloth we'd be safe to call them even if they don't come." link says objectivly.

"well I'm going to check anyway."Zelda responds as she prepares to jump.

"I really hope fate is on our side this time..."Link mumbles as he jumps and whistles. noticing its not working he thinks to himself 'is this really how go out, falling and plunging to my death, well this sucks'

They suddenly feel something solid and warm hit their sides.
