Author's note: SPOILER ALERT FOR SKYWARD SWORD. This was written before I got the game, so, it's inacurate, but whatever. Enjoy!
Theme 24 – No Time
SS – Link x Zelda
Link climbed slowly to the top of a set of stairs. He wasn't sure where he was, but he assumed he was in the right place. After all, Fi had told him he was supposed to be in this strange place that floated above the ground. Not that he wasn't used to living on a floating block of land. It was just that this place had such little greenery, unlike Skyloft. His home was grassy and beautiful and all around a pleasant place to be. But here, it was mostly stone and rock and old buildings.
One side of the hallway he was walking down opened up, and Link caught sight of a stone bridge suspended over the clouds. And the familiar figure of his lost friend.
"Link!" the girl cried, running toward him when she saw him.
"Zelda!" Link dashed forward as well, but a wall ahead of him seemed to explode and his enemy, the demon lord Ghirahim broke through, raising a sword to block Link's path with magical fire. Both Link and Zelda stopped in their tracks.
"I thank you, Hero," Ghirahim said, "for leading me here to this girl." The demon licked his lips. "I shall have plenty of fun with her."
"If you lay a hand on her I will kill you!" Link shouted.
Ghirahim only laughed. "Not if you're already dead." Instead of going for the girl, the demon leaped at Link, catching the Hero off guard. He ducked under the Ghirahim's swing, and drew his own sword, crossing blades with the demon. Zelda watched fearfully from the other side of the bridge, praying that her best friend would win the fight. She gasped as Ghirahim caught the blade of the Goddess Sword between two of his fingers.
"Now, now, Hero, you should know my tricks by now," the demon mocked. He wrenched the blade from Link's grasp and it clattered to the ground, out of reach. Link made a dash for the sword, but his opponent knocked him back again and again until, losing his footing, he fell into the clouds below.
Ghirahim smirked and looked at Zelda, who cowered in fear. With no friend to save her, would she be doomed to the torment of this demon? There was no time to run, no time to find her Sheikah guardian, who was elsewhere in the temple. She began to run anyway.
A musical trill so familiar to Zelda, that her hopes began to spark up once more. She glanced behind her and saw a red and green blur shoot up from the clouds below and begin a dangerous plunge toward Ghirahim.
"What the-?"
But the demon had no time to finish his sentence. The Loftwing smashed right into him, and he was sent over the edge toward the clouds. The Loftwing hovered and Zelda grinned. She had completely forgotten about her best friend's bird. Link jumped off and peered over the edge. He didn't see Ghirahim anywhere. The villain probably warped away.
But that didn't matter. Not now. He turned to Zelda, and the girl ran toward him. "Oh, Link!" she cried, hugging him. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too," Link replied. "Come on, let's get you back to Skyloft."
