One of the key elements to living in Skyloft is having a Bird Of the Goddess; a Loftwing. An honor that usually comes at birth, but Death didn't have the honor to receive. Instead, she had to be introduced to several different "retired" Loftwing sun the hopes of finding one that would match her. Sadly, according to Fi, it was extremely unlikely that she would find one.
Fi, ever the Resourceful Spirit, took on a miniature form to accompany Death for research purposes. Or at least, that is what the spirit claimed. Death liked to think that it was because the spirit wanted the company as much as she did. Mini Fi looked a bit more Human with Fluffy hair and a pair of arms rather than her cloak. Her Fluffy hair had one stubborn spike that curved upward as opposed to the rest of her smother hair.
It took at least two months for Fi to lessen her saying every analysis she viewed. She still analyzed everything she saw, but she at least didn't say them aloud without being asked. It saved Death from over reacting during class. Her first few weeks with Mini Fi were the worst, but at least Fi didn't mind translating the language of Skyloft to Snake Speak for Death. Fi was much better at teaching Death the language, and later the language of the goddess and Bird Speak, to Death.
The latter language came in handy when Death was tired of being taken to the retired Loftwings by Gaepora every seven days. Near the back of the cave the Loftwings was a large bird with obsidian feathers. It's primary wing feathers on the other hand were light grey with a beautiful strip of red and purple tips. It had a scar over its right eye and Many smaller scars across its body. When she tried to approach the scarred bird, but Gaepora stopped her, "that Loftwing has never had a rider," he said while shaking his head sadly, "he is one of the oldest Loftwings here."
Death shook off his hand and approached the scarred bird slowly. Fi floated over to the bird, chirping in Bird Speak to the scarred bird. She couldn't tell much of what they were saying, but the words, "Fly," "Free," "Trapped," "Clipped Wings," "Ground," and "Sky," came up repeatedly. After a minute or two of talking Fi came back with the black Loftwing.
"This is Obsidian Fright, a Loftwing that fought in the War with the Demon Army Of Demise. He has agreed to aid you with his wings in exchange for a chance to explore what has become of the Goddess's Islands, to Fight, and to best away from the Younger Loftwings here. He dislikes how loud they are and would like a safe and quiet nest," Fi reported, her voice just barely showing Pride in her negotiation.
"Thank you Fi. Could you please tell him I will try my best to fulfill that deal?" Death replied, a broad smile across her face.
"Of Course," Fi commented before turning to the black Loftwing, chirping out a slew of words. She then turned back to Death, saying, "Obsidian Fright is capable of understanding the language of Skyloft and the Goddesses. There is a 65% chance of this aiding you in learning to speak the languages, and a 100% chance of communicating with Obsidian Wing."
Death smiled at Obsidian. "I Know Not much Sky People Words. Still learning," she told him.
Obsidian Cawed, with Fi translating his words, "He says, I Will Have Fun Flying Once Again. Come! Let Us Have Our First Taste Of True Freedom!" With that said, Obsidian crouched down for the child to climb up.
Fun Fact~
In my story, "How Death Defies Well, Death" I was originally going to have Death as a Dark Phoenix~ but because I didn't want any hate for her Animangus being a Magical Creature I made a poll to see what my Readers wanted to see causing Chaos~
the Phoenix traits would have been easier to hide, but Fwnnec Fox ended up as the winner!~ it was rather entertaining doing the research on Fennec Foxes and incorporating it into Death's ever Growing and Changing character~
So heres a nice little choice for my readers~
Do you want:
Link to go to the surface on his own then have Death follow
Death joining him on his first trip
Death Going to the surface without link
Death falling to the surface before Zelda
Link Falling to the surface with Zelda
or an option of your own making?~
Please read and review!~
