The Isle in the Sky

It was pouring rain as I arrived at the most peculiar place. I entered this new realm via teleportation. My name is in a language that only my people understand, but it roughly translates to: Dark Link. I am from a place called the Dark World, a realm that the light dwellers call "evil," but it's really just a separate dimension. The Dark World is much like the Light World; they both have good and evil, rulers and castles.

Anyway, I am getting off track. I arrived at a strange isle in the sky, also known as Skyloft. I was assigned a mission. I was to cause as much chaos as I could and I needed to disguise myself as this world's "Hero of Legend." It was a simple mission, but also an important and dangerous one.

You see, among all the chaos and confusion, I am going to "guide" Zelda to "safety." I will then teleport her and myself to my master, Ghirahim. My only obstacle in this mission is my counterpart, Link.

Misgivings

Now disguised s my enemy, I had to practice acting like him. It took a few hours to do so, but I finally had it down.

Drenched and shivering, I made my way to the knight academy. I cast a spell over some of the inhabitants so that the right people would be sleeping at the right time.

I knocked on Zelda's window from outside and waited a few seconds for her to respond. I had climbed up some vines and sat on the ledge of her window.

"Link?! What are you doing out there in the rain?" Zelda said in a hushed voice. I smiled at her concern. Zelda was a pretty blonde with violet-blue eyes. She was also tougher than the other girls in Skyloft, and smarter too. Her bangs were always neatly arranged, and two parts of her hair were kept in loose bundles of her handmade hair ties.

"I had to help out Pipit's mom, and decided to visit you afterwards." I answered.

"Well at least you were indoors for a little while. Come in, you look like you are freezing." Zelda said as she stepped away from her window so I could slip inside.

"Thanks." I said. Zelda frowned suddenly, which made me do the same.

"What?" I asked uncomfortably.

"Nothing, never mind." Zelda said. There was a short and awkward pause, so I took the moment to close Zelda's window behind me.

"So what have you been doing all day?" I asked, hoping to start a conversation and end the awkwardness.

"I've just been reading a book. There isn't much to do around here when it rains." Zelda said.

"Yeah, it was boring today." I agreed.

"Don't you think it's strange that this rain just came without warning?" Zelda asked.

"I guess so, but if I remember right, this happens all the time." I said.

"That's true." Zelda said as she sat down on her bed. We both heard footsteps coming from the hallway, which made us both jump.

"You should probably go before someone finds you here. I don't want you to get in trouble." Zelda said.

"You're right, I didn't even think about that." I said as I quickly and quietly re-opened her wooden window. I sat on the ledge and grabbed the vines before I could fall all the way down.

After all of that, I went around to different houses and set a special container near the windows of each house. I then went to hide in a safe place. I could use my dark magic to activate the containers. The cylindrical boxes would first break the windows and rattle the house. Then, they would create smoke, simulating a fire. The inhabitants of each house would then run out of their house screaming.

"I love the sound of terrified creatures. It always makes my work worthwhile." I said quietly to myself. When everyone gathered at the bridge near the waterfall, I sent some nasty bokogoblins to terrorize them further, just for fun. Now, I will make my move. I headed past the villagers, "scared" away the goblins, and headed for the Academy. Once there, I will guide Zelda to safety.

I sprinted all the way to her room and knocked on her door harshly.

"Link?! What's going on?" Zelda asked as another one of the container exploded outside.

"Someone's attacking Skyloft! We need to get out of here." I said as I held out my hand.

Zelda and I ran to the nearest launching platform, and she called her bird after she jumped. I tried to call Link's loftwing, but I knew he wouldn't come. After a few seconds, Zelda circled back around and her loftwing caught me.

"Where's Crimson?" Zelda asked.

"I don't know. Maybe he got hurt and can't come?" I said, making concern show in my voice. Zelda paused, and thought for a second.

"There's no time to look for him, we have to go!" I said urgently.

Unexpectedly, something hit Zelda's loftwing from below, knocking both of us off the large bird.
