Link released the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, and in the next moment he found himself grinning like a fool. He'd won! Despite that freaky demon whathisname's claims Link had managed to hold his own during their fight. True in part it was only because the demon had run away while saying there was no reason for him to be there, but a victory was a victory.

Still smiling happily he sheathed his brilliant sword ready to head towards the glowing golden door and make his way towards Zelda when he spotted something lying innocuously on the floor. With several muscles protesting slightly he bent over to pick up the strange thing that had caught his attention. All too quickly he recognized the item as it, along with several of its fellows, had pierced his skin all too many times recently.

Rolling the object around in his hands Link couldn't believe the level of detail that went into the item. Onyx and jagged with a blood red diamond in the middle that had lines snaking all around the surface. Truly the dagger was incredibly beautiful, elegant and deadly in a way. Despite everything that man had done to him Link had to give its owner credit, he had style. What that style was exactly Link wasn't sure, or if he even wanted to find out, but still.

As he was twirling it about in his fingers Link noticed just how sharp and…pointy, that was an acceptable word for a hero to use right? Anyway the sharp end seemed to hold his fascination, even though he knew exactly how acute those daggers were. Still Link couldn't help but reach out to touch the tip with his index.

"Yeow," Link screeched while simultaneously dropping the dagger and putting his wounded finger in his mouth. It was in that moment Fi chose to appear as Link sucked on the bleeding wound.

"Master, I can report with 100% accuracy that contact between any portion of your body and the razor like edges or points of the Demon Lord's daggers will result in unnecessary pain and injury. I would suggest avoiding contact with such weapons whenever possible." Link glared at Fi due to her obvious and clearly pointless advice. Before he could say anything to her though, Fi continued on.

"I would have thought your earlier encounters with these weapons would have made my advice obsolete, but considering your current injury that does not appear to be the case. I would suggest Master that we continue on with our mission to find the Spirit Maiden, the one you call Zelda."

Still glaring daggers at the sword spirit Link finally stood, after having removed his injured and no longer bleeding finger from his mouth. Part of him wanted to take the dagger along, just to study it more, but even with her emotionless expression and tone Link couldn't help but feel like Fi was mocking him. Reluctantly the young hero strode over to the still glowing door leaving the dagger and the fight he'd had with its owner behind.

A/N: Sorry everyone, I usually try to get this up earlier in the day, but it's my daughter's 13th birthday thus I've been busy. This is one that I could have chosen a lot of directions to go in. Ultimately I chose this because I could see Link in Skyward Sword messing around with the daggers, and it made me laugh so there you have it. Hope you liked my attempt at humor on this one.
