Sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes as I have no spell check, NINTENDO OWNS THE WORLD :3 ...
Well they do.
The hilt of the sword glistened as the sword itself rested in a heaped pile of bone, carelessly angled to the side after days of no use. Link strode towards it until he was close enough to touch it, listening to the humming coming from the light in the hilt. Fi. She was still trying to reach him after days. Link didn't know how long that would of felt to her. She had been in that sword for thousands of years, a few weeks probably felt like nothing to her.
Ghirahim appeared beside Link, staring at the boys hand as his went to grab the blade. He swatted it away with a quick sound of warning. "You don't want to do that, you'll let her out." Link glanced at Ghirahim and raised his eyebrows. "But we need her to get these flames." Ghirahim shook his head and stared at the blade. "No we just need that sword, Fi is expendable." Link nodded and took a big step away from the blade.
"So how do we separate them." Link asked and Ghirahim smiled
"You touch the sword."
"But you just-" Link began confused and Ghirahim chuckled. "Your going to need to get her out of there so I can separate the two sky child." Link stared at him before nodding and stepping towards the blade. Gripping his right hand around the handle, the familiar feeling causing a rush of power to flow through his veins. Power he hadn't felt in days. He closed his eyes, wallowing in the feeling, liking how it's simple feel could give him security after so many days of uncertainty. He pulled it free at the awkward angle it was in, opening his eyes as he did so.
As soon as the blade was out of the dirt Fi flipped free, she glanced at Link and Link could see the calculations running through her eyes as she analysed his health and well being. "Master Link, you have several different scars since our last meeting but general health seems to be fine." That was it, that's all it ever was with Fi, calculations and the occasionally rare human gesture. Ghirahim walked behind Link and Fi's eyes flashed. "Master Link, Ghira-" But she was cut off as Ghirahim clicked his fingers. Diamonds flew towards the sword and Fi and Link shielded his eyes with his free left arm as he was caught up in the sea of diamonds to.
Fi glowed bright along with the sword, the connection between them, like a thin strip of light, thinned out and began to dull as the diamonds attacked the connection. "Master Link!" Fi shouted, actually shouted, her voice almost human at being in so much strain. Link peeked from under his arm as the connection shattered, Fi's feet collapsed to the ground, no longer able to float and her body faded away.
A part of Link panicked, what had Ghirahim just done? He glanced at the grinning demon and the demon turned to face him. "Aw come on Link, don't tell me your going to miss being told what you already knew 24/7." Link shook his head. He wasn't going to miss that at all, it's just Fi had been his only companion in all of this. Even though she had served the goddess she had actually given him genuine guidance.
Not that it mattered now. They had to get rid of her and It's not like she had been human. She hadn't even had feelings, she was just an empty vessel that had been made to live for ever. A pointless existence that Link found himself glad to have ended. The sword in his hand hung loosely in his wrist. It felt... empty now. Like it wasn't whole. Link glided it into his hilt just as the world dissolved into diamond and by the time he had finished the room had reconstructed itself into the familiar shape of the room at the top of the Ancient Cistern that housed the flame. The walls were tinted with a green hue as the flame of Farore burned brightly, the days it had been left burning doing nothing to fade it's power.
Link reached for his sword to find that his sheath was already empty. He turned to see Ghirahim behind him, running his hands across the blade in admiration. "Such a fine sword, one of the only things I must give Hylia credit for." He laughed once before holding up the sword. "I'll make sure to thank her when we get to her."
The flame rose and split off into three. The three sections hit off onto the roof and the right and left wall as they were guided by trails of Girahims diamonds. The three parts hit the sword and as the skyward strike charged the flames and the green sprite formed to metal around the blade, making it longer and the tip sharper. Link watched in awe from a distance, wondering how Ghirahim could handle such heat without even a flinch as the blade finished off. Green stripes ran up along the blade connecting at the top, showing how long and wide the blade had been before the flame had added on its own metal finish.
Ghirahim brought the blade to rest in his hands again and stroked it's smooth surface. Link shifted his feet and cleared his throat as Ghirahim looked at it transfixed. He thought of going to tap him on the shoulder just as Ghirahim spun and tossed the sword at Link, the pointed tip heading straight for him. Link reacted on instinct, rolling out of the way without even thinking. He panted as he finished in a crouch going to glare at Ghirahim only to find him gone.
He stood and then felt the sword sliding back into the sheath on his back he turning his head to see Ghirahim smiling at him. "So where is the next flame?" Ghirahim asked, resting on Links shoulder. Link shoved him off, rolling his eyes at the fact Ghirahim still wasn't getting the hint about personal space. "To the tower of light..." Link began stumbling off at a sudden realization. "Usually a message from the goddess unlocks in Fi's memory when we learn a new tune, telling us where the trial for the flame is but Fi..."
"Aw don't fret sky child." Ghirahim said ruffling the dirty blond locks of Links hair. "Me and Fi come from the same time, I'll be able to figure out the message in the melody." He beamed, clapping his hands as Link went to remove his hand, disappearing and reappearing 10 ft ahead. "Now where is this tower?" Ghirahim asked, looking behind his shoulder and Link winced, thinking of yet another issue.
"The sky."
"The sky?"
"Yes. The sky" Ghirahim groaned and loosened his posture. "Oh I hate riding loftwings, the wind always messes up my hair." Link rolled his eyes at the vanity. How could someone so vain have such a ridiculous haircut. "Don't worry, I'm sure the loftwing hates having you riding it as well." Ghirahim shot Link a glare and Link grinned. There was nothing Ghirahim could do now he needed him.
"For that you can make your own way out of this temple." Ghirahim clicked his fingers and vanished and Link glanced across the span of 3 rooms to the drop that would bring him to the exit. A bubble of exitement formed in his stomach and he jogged across the room, changing to a run once his legs warmed to the exersice. He hadn't been outside for weeks. The one time Ghirahim had let him he had been in a shady barred ditch. He couldn't wait to simply get out of here. Feel the sun on his skin and the soft grass beneath his feet and hopefully set about getting his tanned skin back.
Happy chapter 13 guys! I know this chapter isn't as exiting but trust me as Link and Ghirahim go along you'll see the full force of Links change. Now I hate to tell you that I can't update tomorrow as I'm spending the whole day at my dads and he doesn't have wi-fi where he lives. Hmm after yesterday it seems like this chapter is turning into a every other day update, but don't panic! Sunday onwards it will be back to daily updates.
Hope you liked this chapter. Even though I find it kind of slow (You know as all bridging chapters are) Please leave a Review if you have the time :3
