Growing up as a kid I was the one always left out. So when the time came to get my Loftwing, It was my only real friend. But there was one girl who was able to notice I was there, she was two years younger than me and her name was Zelda. But as the years went by she became more interested in playing with her friend Link. So to feel the loneliness void I would go out flying for hours exploring what hadn't been explored. By age 13 I was sending days out of skyloft, sleeping out under the stars with lacus for company. My Loftwing, I named her Lacus, her feathers were black as night. Some people back in skyloft said that a black loftwing was bad luck. I didn't care the bond between me and lacus was strong. After several journey of exploring someone send out the skyloft knights to find me. They feared that I was lost and injured. After explaining myself I requested to map out new area's and explore for more sky islands that might be livable. The Headmaster Zelda's father said that if I really wanted to I could, but I needed to report my findings if any. I was only allowed to stay out for no more then a month at a time. I agreed to the terms and I got what I wanted. I was given a sword just for self-defense and the rest of the supplies would be on me.

So by age 15 I was out in the clear sky, mapping out new regions. I was living the dream…The first island I found was small. Only about a mile long it was flat and covered in trees, it is where I stay for my first week. I was able to make myself a Bow during that week which was risky. Citizens of Skyloft are not allowed to carry weapons without special permission like my case. The rules were strict when it came to weapons and me having a bow could get me banished from skyloft. Which wasn't a big deal to me because I would only spend two days a month there. Losing those two days wouldn't be much of a loss to me.

So after that first month I returned back to Skyloft with a lot of information. But I had to drop my bow off at the first island I came across, after storing it I continue to Skyloft. Coming back nobody seemed to noticed I was gone. One person thought I was from the town north of skyloft. I reported to the headmaster my findings and then went to sleep. The day I was back was my day of rest, so I would walk around skyloft. There was a lot of talk among the teens my age about becoming a skyloft Knight. I never really desired to become a knight; I loved what I was doing. After spending that day out I went back to my room and prepared for my journey the next day.

The years went by and nothing much has changed, exploring never really got boring. Being on my own has given me a lot of experience. So by age 18 I explored hundreds of miles in every direction of Skyloft. I found more than a hundred sky islands some peaceful some not so. After going so far I had my first encounter with bandits. Well... all I did was hide on an island until they left, I wasn't about to get myself killed doing something I love. After seeing that I thought it was a good idea to return early to report that there are bandits out here. The report took no more than ten minutes and soon after I was off again.

I headed west this time and I planned to search a spot that I must have overlooked. It was only a haft days fly from skyloft.

I was surprise to find a sky island that was massive. There was something up with the clouds around it, it made sense why I didn't see it the first time. The clouds were in such a way that made the island look like clouds. But after getting over that I land on the island.

"Alright girl…go get something to eat." I say sending lacus off. The place I landed was a clearing in the trees. The island had mountains and running rivers on it. By far it would be on top of most livable islands I've ever come cross. I look around for any signs of life, monsters and fiends didn't seem to be living here. They like the islands that are dark and dead, but this one was colorful and full of life. Herds of many types farm animals covered the area. The island would take weeks to explore the whole thing; the first thing that needs to be done is to check the distant of the island. I would do that by walking straight across the island, but for the first time there was a mountain in my way. But I didn't complain and I got started…

2 Weeks later

"Week two: the island is about 4 miles long and 3 miles wide. I've searched about 80% of the island and the last part is through the mountains. There's a spot hidden in there somewhere, so I'm making my way towards the mountains…" I finish writing and put the notebook back in my bag. After this I would haft to head back to skyloft. For the first time I needed to resupply, this island has a lot of secret to hide.

The mountain range was rough but I was able to climb to where I was going. After a while I found myself on an edge. But then I saw something I've been trying to find for years. It was a spring, but this wasn't just any spring. This spring had some odd power to it and at night it was glow a sky blue, but that's not all, if you drink it, it will cure you from any type of sickness. It also gives you strength when your drain of energy. I call for lacus who is at my side in seconds "Look Lacus! We found it! We're staying the night lacus!" I say hugging her. She gives off a happy cry, but then I notice something in the sky.

Four Loftwings, but three of them are chasing one. Then I notice something about the one they were chasing. I finally realize that I know who that bird belongs to, it was Zelda!

Thinking fast I hoped on lacus "Come girl! Let's go!" with that I gave chase after them. To tell the true I've seen Zelda's Loftwing more than her herself. If it was a different bird I would have never been able to tell that was Zelda. After a Minute I'm in range for my bow, luckily the wind wasn't strong. But before I able to get a shot off one of them see me and turns to face me. He takes out his bow a fires a shot; I try and dodge but the arrow hits lacus in the left wing. After passing him I shoot an arrow which hits him straight in the back. He falls off his Loftwing dead, the two other bandits give up on zelda and turn to me. I knot another arrow and charge.

They draw their swords and charge, I release the arrow, it catches the one it front in the neck. But then I feel a sharp pain hit my arm with such force it almost knocks me off of lacus. The last guy caught my left arm with his sword, lucky for me it wasn't a direct hit, if it was my arm would have been cut off. The blood started running down my arm; I couldn't use the bow anymore. I draw my sword and face the bandit who is turning around from his pass. "Come on girl one more." I say to lacus who is getting tried. I stare down the bandit and at the same time we charge at each other. As we come in arms reach I swing but feel another sharp pain hit my back. This one knocks the wind out of me and I cough out blood, my left arm was covered in blood and still bleed out. I look to see the bandit about to charge again but then he falls off his Loftwing. Looking at my sword there was blood on it, after moment I look around for Zelda but no sign of her.

"she should be ok..."I fly over the spring and drop in it, the water would provide some strength and pain relief. The bleed wasn't stopping, and the gash on my back wasn't helping ether. After taking drink I have enough strength to pull myself out of the water. But I take three steps before passing out…well at least I die saving someone…that's a noble thing to die for right?

5 hours later

I wasn't planning on waking up but I did. It was dark and the moon was full, my whole body was in pain. But then I notice the spring and the glow it lets off a night. "Well…seeing that almost makes it worth coming back." I say rolling my head over to see. I look at my arm to see it patched up and my shirt was gone. There were bandages wrapped around my chest, "You're awake…" I hear a voice say behind me. I would turn to see who it is but pain leaves me to basic movements. Then she walks in front of me, it was Zelda "Zelda? I thought you flew away?" I say trying to sit up

"You shouldn't move like that! You might start the bleeding again!" she says rushing over to me. "How long was I out?" I ask as she helps me sit up. "About five hours…I thought you died at times."

Then it hits me "Where's Lacus!" I say in panic. "Don't worry about her she's fine, I took the arrow out. She went out flying with my loftwing. Everything is fine…" she says taking a jar and filling it was spring water.

"Here drink…it should help heal you faster or at least heal you enough to make the trip back to skyloft." She say holding the jar up to my mouth. It was kind of odd, drinking glowing water. And someone helping drink was even more odd. After drink some I feel some much better "Thanks…why are you out this far Zelda? I'm the only one permitted out this far?" I ask.

"I was out for a ride…when I was ambushed by those men, they chased me for hours. I thought I could out fly them but they didn't give up. They wanted something...My Loftwing was getting very tried and I feared for her so I was about to give up. Then you showed up…" she says sitting down.

"Listen…thanks for saving me…I'm in debt to you….Chris." she says bowing her head. That was the first time in a long time she used my name. To be honest I surprise she hasn't forgotten it.

"No… it ok…You don't owe me anything." I try to protest but she reach around her neck and takes off a necklace. "Here…this belonged to my mother…I think it should be enough to repay you for what you did." She said holding it out. "Zelda…I can't…I didn't ask to be paid…" I say closing her hand.

"Take it…I know you knew her better than I did…" she words died off. In a way I did know her mother before her pasting. I was only two at the time but I she's the one who taught me how to speak and walk, my mother like Zelda's didn't survive child birth. After she died I was given to the care taker who really didn't do anything.

"Zelda I knew your mother…and I know she would want you to keep it. If you want to repay me so bad…make sure I survive the night." I try laugh but it hurt so bad. Zelda puts her necklace back on and looks at my bow "You made this? You know if my father found out about this you would be banished." She says pulling the string back. "Yeah…but when you've out as long as I have it comes in handy. Plus I don't really care about being banished…No one ever notices I'm gone anyways…No one cares about me in skyloft." I say drink more spring water.

"That's not true…" she says with a consider look on her face. "Name one person who does then." I ask.

"Me…"

The words caught me by surprise "wait…what?"

"I care about you…I remember I always used to think you knew everything when we were younger. When you first left it made me sad. Then you started leaving more and for longer…I think this is the first time in two years I've seen you." She says smiling.

She was right, I hadnt seen her in two years. She was 14 when I last saw her. From the last time she had grown a lot. But to know that she did care about me made me feel warm inside. Even though this is the longest conversation we've ever had.

"You're the first person to really say that… people back a skyloft never knew me…every time I came back. It like meeting every one for the first time again. So thanks…"

She smiled "get some sleep…I'll make sure you survive the night." After taking one last drink I lay back and fall asleep.
