Chapter 2
An Adventure Begins

Link strapped on another satchel to Crimson (his loftwing), he was preparing for his journey to the country of Amestris. Nayru had given him a map showing him exactly where to go; the goddess of wisdom said the journey would take a few hours to complete if he flew.

"So how long will you be gone?" Groose asked, handing Link his shield, the same one he won from the Thunder Dragon.

"Until I've done what has been asked of me, and until then you and Pipit are in charge; is that understood?" Link said, strapping the shield to his back.

"Yeah, don't worry; Pipit and I work great together." Groose said, slapping Pipit's back harder then he liked.

"You're joking right?" Pipit asked sarcastically.

"What are you talking of? 'Course we do, remember that one time back then at the academy" Groose said flaying his arms in the air.

"Oh yeah that one time, in that one place, on that one date, yup I totally remember" Pipit said sarcastically, Groose (slightly annoyed) put Pipit in a headlock and brought him close to his face.

"Listen Pipit I just want to let Link leave with him knowing that we can work fine together. He's got enough to worry about right now" Groose said in a harsh whisper.

Link just shook his head; he was leaving the responsibility of nearly 6 thousand people and other species of creatures to these two? Oh, what could possibly go wrong? Putting the thought aside, Link put a bundle of arrows in another satchel when he heard Zelda behind him.

"Leaving without saying goodbye?" Zelda said, helping Link strap on another satchel.

"You know I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye." Link said leaning closer to Zelda, who blushed a little and wrapped her hand around Link's.

"I know because I wouldn't let you before I gave you something." Zelda said pulling Link by the arm towards the temple.

"Leave without what?" Link asked. Zelda led him through the secret opening in the temple, to where she had once slept to save the surface.

"My daughters each gave you a blessing, though you can only use them in a time of desperate need, I feel as my duty towards my chosen hero I should give something too." Zelda said, closing the door to main chamber of the temple behind them.

Link remembered this room very well, it was the same room Zelda sealed herself in to stop Demise and it was now the room, which held the Master Sword. Zelda moved next to the sacred blade, she looked up towards Link who had a confused expression on his face.

"Yes Link, I'm allowing you to use the Master Sword. I'm hopeful it will prove more powerful than anything this power of alchemy can throw at you. Now come and take the blade" Zelda said moving off to the side.

Link just nodded as he approached the sacred blade. He slowly gripped the hilt of the Master Sword and slowly began to lift it up. The blade moved cleanly out of the stone that held. Link lifted the sword above his head and then brought it down to eye level, examining it. Zelda looked at him somewhat confused.

"What's wrong Link?" she asked curiously.

"Is... Fi still alive? I don't feel her in the blade." Link said, looking at the light metal of the sword for any sign of his former companion.

"Let me see the sword for a moment, Link." Zelda requested. She ignored the question, leading slight confusion from Link.

Link had learned not to defy gods when they gave you orders and immediately handed over the Master Sword. Zelda put the sword close to her mouth.

"Caeli decus di caeli rector vos in via, cum depopulatus esset respondebunt et invocate…" Zelda chanted in a language Link didn't understand, The Master Sword started glowing a bright blue light as if power was being flooded into the blade.

Link looked at Zelda as she handed back the Master Sword, he felt a surge of power go through him it was like when he first held the holy blade, but more powerful. Link looked towards Zelda, she nodded and smiled, and handed him the scabbard. Link took it and placed the Master the sword on his back.

"But… what about Fi?"

"I believe I can answer that for you, Master." A feminine voice said. Fi, her spirit-like being erupting out of the blade, floated in front of Link. "Zelda has reawakened me to help you, and stay by your side again. Given your performance last time, I calculate a ninety-five percent chance of success."

Link, glad to see his old companion, joked, "Only ninety-five?"

"I have to throw in the factors of this alchemy magic and any foolish mistakes you might have made."

"Was that a joke? I don't think you've ever said one of those before."

Zelda replied, "Since I turned myself into a mortal form, I now have a better understanding of hylian emotions. I made Fi more like one of us than a spirit." Zelda blushed a little as Fi returned to the Master Sword. "I… won't delay you any farther, my hero."

"Zelda," Link said, moving closer to Zelda and wrapping his hands around her waist. "I promise you, I'll come back, no matter what happens, I will be back."

"Alright, then, mister hero; I'll hold you up on that." Zelda responded, leaning closer to Link. Both the hero and the goddess were slowly leaning towards each other, about to kiss…

"OI! Link! Crimson's all ready to go!" Groose said, bursting through the door not realizing the moment he ruined. Instantly Zelda and Link pulled away from each other blushing in embarrassment. Groose looked at them confused. "Did I interrupt something?"

"No Groose you didn't, umm… how about you go get some spare potions and I'll meet you outside." Came Link's annoyed tone.

Groose nodded and left, he couldn't break the feeling that he just interrupted something very important. Link turned back to Zelda and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He was about to leave when Zelda grabbed him by the arm.

"If you get back, let's finish that moment, without the interruption." Zelda said embracing Link tightly.

"You mean, when I come back. I won't be long, your grace." Link said, moving off of Zelda and bowing politely. Zelda just rolled her eyes; she hated when people did this sort of stuff, but it was just Link being polite.

Link left the temple going out to the main courtyard where Crimson was waiting. Link quickly tightened a few of the straps holding the satchels. Link jumped on the bird's back, his loftwing stretching its wings in preparation for their long flight.

"You ready Crimson, we got a long journey ahead of us," Crimson squawked in agreement. "Alright, then lets go!" Link shouted, snapping the reins. Crimson shot up into the air breaching, the cloud surface. Link directed Crimson towards their destination.

A bright sun, white clouds and blue sky, it almost made Link want to move back to Skyloft, but the surface had so much more than clouds and sky and that's why he kept going back. Link decided he would try to get some rest, sleeping on a loftwing was hard, but he had gotten used to it, seeing as he used to do it all the time. Plus, Crimson knew not drift off course. Link let his eye lids shut and went into a light sleep.

Chapter 2! Unedited! Fi is back, and Link is setting out!

Next up; the Fullmetal alchemist's brother gets stuck in the sand! And other stuff… I think…. Hmmmm…
