Skyward Sword Fanfiction
Ch.1
I'm living a Zelda game!
I jolted up right in bed, breathing heavily. I pushed my dark brown hair out of my eyes, my chocolate brown eyes were wide with shock. Weirdest nightmare ever. I struggled to remember what it had been about. I remembered seeing Link from The Legend of Zelda and that was about it. I looked over at the clock on my nightstand. 10:30 pm, it read. I fell back on my pillow groaning, I had been asleep for thirty minutes. I rolled over onto my stomach. Why did this keep happening? I would go to sleep only to wake up half-an-hour later. I closed my eyes, refusing to believe I was awake. Sadly, I couldn't fall asleep. I laid there in bed staring at the ceiling, swearing the Triforce had glowed there for half a second before. I turned on my lamp and walked over to my bookshelf.
I pulled down both parts of The Ocarina of Time and flipped through the pages. I knew the story backwards and forwards, heck I could tell you the whole thing in Spanish in my sleep. That's how much of a Zelda nerd I was. I put them back on the shelf and curled up under my covers. I was going back to sleep if it killed me! After about fifteen minutes of squeezing my eyes closed I fell into a troubled sleep, full of the Triforce, Link, and Zelda.
"This is a story you humans have passed down through uncounted generations…" A melodic voice told me, the voice coming from seemingly nowhere. "It tells of a war of unmatched scale and ferocity, the likes of which would never be seen again."
For a second I thought my world history teacher had brainwashed me with so many facts about World War 1, that it was invading my dreams.
"One dark, fateful day, the earth cracked wide and malevolent forces rushed forth
from the fissure." Definitely not World War 1. "They mounted a brutal assault upon the
surface people, driving the land into deep despair… They burnt forests to ash, choked the
land's sweet springs, and murdered without hesitation. They did all this in their lust to
take the ultimate power protected by Her Grace, the goddess. The power she guarded
was without equal. Handed down by gods of old, this power gave it's holder the means to
make any desire a reality." the voice continued on with the story.
This sounded awfully familiar… "To prevent this great power from falling into
the hands of the evil swarming the lands… the goddess gathered the surviving humans on
an outcropping of earth. She sent it skyward, beyond the reach of the demonic hordes.
Beyond even the clouds. With the humans safe, the goddess joined forces with the land
dwellers and fought the evil forces, sealing them away. At last peace was restored to the
surface. This is a tale that you humans have told for many ages, generation to
generation... But there are other legends, long hidden away from memory, that are
intertwined with this tale. Now, a new legend bound to this great story stands ready to be
revealed. A legend that will be forged by your own hand." The voice faded away the story
concluded, there purpose served.
The scene changed drastically, I was looking at a path in the woods. Suddenly a
large crack ran down the center of the path, a large demon emerging from it. He was a
horrible creature, with white pointed teeth, each longer than I was tall, spines running
down its scaly black back, it roared a loud awful sound that made me cover my ears in
pain.
I was pulled into yet another nightmare, I looked around and noticed this time
there was a boy standing next to me. He had blond hair, bright blue eyes, and pointed
ears. He looked at me in confusion as if I had the answer, I shrugged. I had no clue what
was going on. The demon was now in front of us still roaring, we stumbled back. A flash
of light suddenly shined right in front of us, forcing me to cover my eyes.
"Rise, Ash, Link… The time has come for you to awaken… You are fated to have
a hand in a great destiny, and it will soon find you… The time has come for you to
awaken… Ash, Link…" The same voice from before mused.
The demon disappeared replaced by a large yellow bird squawking in my ear.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed, falling out of bed, which seemed closer to the floor than usual. My
head spun, I saw a window with the large head of the offending bird sticking through it. I
glared at the bird, it spat a wet envelope on my face, squawked, and flew away.
"Stupid bird…" I muttered, getting to my feet while rubbing my head. I picked up the
envelope which was slightly soggy from being in the bird's mouth.
Rise and shine, sleeping beauty. I know how you like to sleep in so me and Zelda
are betting this letter will be your alarm clock. Right? Well wake up, Ash! Today's the
Wing ceremony! You promised to meet me before it starts, remember? You'd better not
keep me waiting!
~Anna
Anna? That was my best friend's name? And Zelda, she was from a video game.
This was weird… I looked down at my clothes and noticed I was wearing a long, simple
t-shirt, with long sleeves, and simple designs in blue adorning the collar and cuffs. My
pants had turned into green, cotton, cut-offs that went to the middle of my shin. I was
wearing soft leather boots, that felt like they had molded to my feet. I heard another
squawk and figured someone was getting the same unpleasant wake-up call I had. I
noticed a cupboard on the opposite wall, I opened it curiously. Inside was a mirror, but I
was staring at a reflection that was not my own.
The person I was staring at had pointed
ears, with small blue hoop earrings, and their hair was perfectly combed and parted. I
reached a hand up to my ears. Yep, definitely came to a point. Shaking off my new
appearance, jogged out the door and into a lobby like area, nearly running into the boy
from my dream! We both skidded to a stop just before we collided. "Hey, Ash. Anna
making you stick to your promise? Zelda's making me too. She sent her Loftwing after
me! Hey, maybe if we show up together we'll seem less late!" He stated sleepily.
Suddenly he grabbed my hand, all his exhaustion gone, yanking me off to who knows
where!
I let him drag me along to tired to protest. He dragged me all the way to a statue of
some sort where two girl waited. We stopped a few yards behind, them panting.
One had hair done up in a fancy hairdo, the other's was hanging loose and wild.
"En da sha bu, no bie shum du, diem, shu twu kiranu sai bei… En da sha bu, no bie shum
Du, diem, shu twu kiranu sai bei…" The girl with the fancy hairdo sung while strumming
a harp. I saw Link's (I assumed that's who he was by the dream) face light up when he
saw her, I nudged him and raised my eyebrows accusingly at him. His face turned bright
red and I let out a small giggle. Both girls turned around to stare at us. "Hey! Good
morning, Ash." Anna called, rather innocently.
"I'm glad to see our loftwing's got you of bed." The one with the fancy hairdo
(who I guessed was Zelda) laughed." We were pretty sure you'd both sleep in and forget
to meet us this morning." I smiled, I did have a habit for sleeping in, but how would she
know? Link laughed. "Like brother, like sister!" he joked ruffling my hair. I stared up at
him. Brother? We looked nothing alike.
"Nevermind, but look at this instrument ! And look at this outfit! They're mine to
use today in the ceremony, since I'll be playing the role of the goddess. Aren't they
beautiful? Especially this instrument! They tell me it's just like the one the goddess was
said to have in the legends. It sounds gorgeous too. I asked Father about it, he says it's
called a harp. And look at these clothes! I made this wrap myself, and we get to use it in
today's ceremony! Between the harp and this outfit, I'm going to make a great
goddess today! I got up early this morning because I wanted you to be the first one to see
me like this, Link! So how do I look?" Zelda told us in a rush.
As Link stammered out his reply, Anna pulled me off to the side. "Why are we in
Skyward Sword? And how are you related to Link?" She asked. I shrugged, again I had
no idea what was going on. But there was chill in the air, that told me something was
going to go terribly, terribly wrong…
