AND THIS ALSO MEANS THAT I'M DONE! …until January *sobs* but yeah! Ooo and another thing, I discussed with my mom of becoming an author and she said to go ahead and try it! like you have noooo idea just how badly I want to be an author. I really love to write, like I really do and just seeing all those successful authors made me want to become one.

OH YEAH: THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO AS REVIEWED AND FAVORED AND FOLLOWED THE STORY. I LOST TRACK! :3

Chapter 9:

We continued to fly, feeling the breeze hitting our faces. I was enjoying this moment until a thought crossed my mind.

Shouldn't we have pulled out the sailcloth by now…?

Eyes wide, I began to holler.

"LINK! SAILCLOTH! GROUND! SAILCLOTH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

The ground started to become closer, making me to panic even more. The only thing that was coming to my mind was the sailcloth and Link. I squeezed my eyes shut tight, not wanting to see the worst.

So this is it…

This is how I'm going to die…

Man, I really wanted to go on the adventure.

With my eyes shut tight, I felt something wrapping around my waist and then we were suddenly pulled back up for a short time before my feet touched something hard.

"Hey, Heather. Open up." Link said.

I shook my head, burying my face in Link's chest; I felt him sighing.

"We're not dead if that's what you're thinking." he mumbled.

I dared myself by opening one of my eyes then pulled away from Link. I placed on a blank look on my face as I realized that we're indeed not dead.

Oh…

Um…well then…

"Oh…Pfft, I knew that!" I said. Link smirked.

"Right. I'll remember that next time." he grinned though I scowled.

And…Fi appeared and was floating in front of us.

"Master Link and Companion, we've arrived. This is the fabled surface that has long been part of Skyloft legend. By my calculations, you are currently positioned in a location known as the Sealed Grounds."

We took this time to examine the place we were in. To our right, there was a giant cliff that seemed to be going in circles and in the middle of the cliff, there was also what it looked like another circle.

I shuddered, remembering that we had to fight a certain boss.

"Please proceed with caution, Master and Companion."

With that, Fi vanished into the sword once again leaving us alone.

"Shall we take a look?" Link asked.

I shrugged. "Sure I guess."

We walked straight ahead until a plant popped out of the ground, startling me.

"Link!" I shrieked, cowering behind him.

He rolled his eyes. "You're a scaredy-cat."

I scowled. "Unlike you, I don't want to become plant food! If you do, then by all means go ahead and kill that thing."

Smirking, Link drew out his sword when I stepped back and he ran towards the plant monster. It was going to be named the plant monster because I had forgotten what its name was. It was either a Deku Baba or a Quad Baba or something.

Link waited for the thing to come at him and when it did, he jumped to the left and quickly made a move by striking horizontally. Within seconds, the plant died down. Being satisfied with his work, Link sheathed his sword back in its normal place.

He turned around. "Coming?"

"H-huh? Oh yeah…" I stuttered before scurrying to him.

"See? That wasn't so bad. There's nothing to worry about." Link said, trying to lighten me up.

"I don't care. Those things looks poisonous, Link." I snapped.

He rolled his eyes. "You're just being—"

He didn't get the chance to finish since something struck him in the chest, knocking him backwards. He groaned, placing his hand on his chest.

"Link!"

"I'm alright!" feeling a bit dazed, Link gradually got up and quirked an eyebrow. "Looks like we got more of those things." he said. "Oh and by the way, you might want to move."

"Why?"

Well, it looks like my question got answered because something had lunged towards me, dangerously so I shrieked and moved to the side only to have something else being sprung at me. So, I did what I did. I somersaulted between those two and made it safely to the other side, leaving Link to deal with them.

I watched with wide eyes as I saw Link battling those plant monsters. He missed the chance to strike one of them though he dodged when one of the plants had come at him. However, since it was Link we're talking about, he leaped to the side to avoid another one and then he rolled to the middle of the two.

"Link! Watch out! They're going to—"

Link then did a spin attack, ending those two. As a result, blood splattered all over the place and some of them struck me.

"Ew!" I shrieked. "Was that really necessary!?"

"Suck it, princess." he smirked.

It was then that I realized that he too had been covered by blood as well.

"Instead of goggling at me as if I'm suddenly fascinating—which I am—we should get going, don't you think?" he asked, extending his hand so he can help me out.

"Huh?" I blinked. "Oh right! Haha, yeah of course!" I said, laughing awkwardly as I took his hand. "For the record, you're not that fascinating."

"Hey!"

We jumped down and it wasn't until then that Link had suddenly started to be weird.

"Well now where?" I asked.

No answer. I frowned.

"Yo, Link! Where do you suppose we should go?" I quizzed, being a bit louder. I then walked towards the edge of the cliff and studied down below.

"Huh…you think we should go down and check it out?"

No answer yet again.

I sighed, an aggravated one.

"Link, damnit—"I stopped in mid-sentence when I had finally noticed that Link was being weird.

I stepped in front of him, waving my hand in front of his face.

"Hel-lo! Earth to Link!" I said. I then begun to study his eyes and it looked like he was in some kind of a trance.

I sighed, knowing what was going to happen next. So, eventually, I left Link so that the event can take its course but it wasn't even a few steps that I heard a THUD so I whirled around and on the ground was Link and it looked like he was passed out.

Quirking an eyebrow, I trekked towards him and sat beside him. I did nothing except waiting for him to wake up.

xXxXxXx

A moaned was heard, instantly making me to snap out of my state. I blinked before I rubbed my eyes as I yawned.

I guess I fell asleep…

The groan became louder and finally the Sleeping Beauty had awoke.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." I said. "Welcome back to reality."

"Oh shut up." he muttered.

He turned his head to the side and stared at me. I blinked, suddenly becoming uneasy at his stare.

"What?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh nothing…nothing at all." he said, shaking his head.

"So…what happened back there…?" I asked. "You were fine…but the moment you looked down below, you were in some sort of a trance and then you just…fell down, out-cold."

He shrugged. "I don't know really. Everything was fine until the moment I looked down, things became weird. Like everything suddenly was red and there was a gust of black wind that blew in my face. And then…" he paused, scrunching his face. He sighed. "I saw that…"

"Saw what?"

"I saw that monster again…he kept on being in my dreams…"

It was silent since neither of us had anything to say. When Link was good enough to go, we started to bicker about either going down the long way or just jumping down and use the sailcloth.

"No! We're going down the long way, you lazy bones!"

"Nu uh. We're using the sail cloth to jump down."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

We both sighed.

I racked my brains, thinking for a way on how to solve this one. While I was thinking for an answer, Fi came out.

"Master and Companion, I have information. While these doors appear to have been opened recently, they are now sealed shut by a powerful unidentified force."

"Thanks, Fi." I said.

Nodding, she vanished.

Silence.

"So, you coming?" I asked, heading towards the path that will eventually lead to the bottom of the pit.

"Sure. I'll meet you there in a few seconds." he said then jumped down.

"Hey! That was hardly a fair warning!"

Muttering angrily, I began to run down the path as fast I could. I don't want to be beaten from the show off! When I was on the second last "cliff" I leaped off and then when I started to come at the ground, I placed my hand on the ground creating a flip followed by a somersault in the air before landing down perfectly.

"Yeah!" I shouted, throwing a peace sign.

"Nice move, hotshot." Link said, his arms crossed over his chest. "How'd you learn to do that?"

I walked towards him. "I took gymnastics when I was a kid."

"Gym-what?"

"Erm, nevermind."

Shaking his head, Link started to catch up with me.

"By the way, it looks like it was a tie."

I smirked. Link unexpectedly stopped, looking curiously at the object that was ahead of us.

"What?" I quizzed, walking backwards as I placed my arms behind my head.

"Did you hear it?"

I stopped, blinking. "Hear what…?"

"That voice…"

Once again, Link went in a weird trance and no matter what I did, nothing seemed to be having him to be snapped out.

I started to become uncomfortable when I felt bad vibes, surrounding the place. I paused as I realized that this was the part where Link was going to set free that stupid sword…and if he does that then that means…

"LINK! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T RELEASE IT! LINK!" I screamed.

Unfortunately, it wasn't working since he started to walk towards it and it looked like he had no control over his body. I gulped, staring at the scene with wide eyes.

Link, nononono…oh please no.

Too late.

Link raised his sword, skyward and a flash of blue light struck the evil sword. I could see the black mist rising from the grounds but then the mist stopped coming up, revealing the glowing blue sword.

And then, white "wind" appeared out of those holes, revealing them as the geysers.

"Master Link and Companion, I'm sensing a change in the area that was triggered by your Skyward Strike. I have also detected an aura that correlates closely to your Sailcloth. I surmise this aura belongs to Zelda. I can lead you in the direction of this aura through a process known as dowsing."

And that's when I zoned out as Fi explained what Dowsing is. To put it short, the closer you are coming to the target, the bigger the circle would respond.

Couldn't Fi just say that?

When she was done, she once again disappeared.

"Cool. I get to dowse and you don't."

"Your point?"

"It's cool!"

"Right…"

He then began to use the Dowsing so he can get "used to it". When he was done, he said that we should go up. Though, like before, he wanted the quicker way up but me being stubborn refused so in the end, we both went the way we had wanted to go.

"Why do you always want to use the long way?" he complained.

"Because."

"That isn't the reason."

"Yes it is. Now, you go your own way and I go my own way, got it?"

Sighing, Link ran his hand through his hair and he realized that there was no point in arguing with me.

Ha! Success.

"Fine. I'll meet you up."

And this was where I started to climb up the path.

A/N: And this is where I'm going to stop, lolz. So, I would say that this chapter wasn't too bad…it did gave me a trouble to start but it gradually came so it's all good. Till then, cya next time.
