Chapter 1
It was a quiet morning, fog blanketed the grove. Link sat at the foot of a tree enjoying his peaceful morning, away from the lively, but rather loud town of Skyloft. The world was free of chaos, except for the occasional monster attack. Link sighed breathing in the cool morning air 'so this is how it feels to be free' he thought to himself. He closed his eyes in hope that sleep would follow. As soon as got cozy a scream for help woke him right up. His eyes quickly snapped open, all he could think about was his duty to protect. Jumping to his feet and grabbing his gear he was off, sprinting towards the cry for help.
A shaken creature was curled into a ball and surrounded by bokoblins. With one skill full slash Link knocked a few down, leaving others to swarm him instead. He hastily defeated them in a skillful execution. Turning toward the creature who was still cowering, Link noticed that he recognized this being. Link gently placed his hand on it, trying not to frighten it more. The creature moved from its position to sit up knowing it was safe. Link studied it closer, behind the tattered clothing and tangled hair, were familiar brown eyes with trails of mascara flowing from them.
Jumping back Link drew his sword, It was Ghirahim. Knowing how dangerous he was Link didn't want to take a chance. Ghirahim Jumped back as well he didn't expect his savior to pull a weapon on him. clearing his voice Ghirahim stated "Please do drop your weapon, as you see I'm harmless at the moment, I can't even take care of these imbeciles" Link took caution when sheathing his sword keeping direct eye contact with Ghirahim the entire time. As Ghirahim stood himself up Link turned around and began to leave, since Ghirahim seemed to be unharmed. A hand grabbed him as he left, "I'm sorry to trouble you, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I truly need your help" Ghirahim spoke with pleading eyes.
Link pushed the hand off his shoulder thinking 'He tried to kill me, he despised me, he wanted to destroy everything I held dear'. Link headed in the other direction again intending on leaving him here. "What kind of hero are you" Ghirahim scoffed "Leaving a defenseless being out here to die" Link stopped his ears twitched at the sound of Ghirahim choking back sobs. Link turned to see that Ghirahim was on his knees, Link finally saw that Ghirahim was being honest. He extended his arm helping Ghirahim up, wiping away tears Ghirahim uttered a simple "thank you"
