Chapter Five: Cody's Training
It was a few hours after Cody got back to the castle from school. Angelous and I had a little surprise waiting for him. However, he did not take kindly to the news. "Training out in the middle of the forest?!" He asked with his jaw hanging. Angelous stepped up to him I floated in mid air, cross armed watching Angelous explain things to Cody.
"Cody, now that your father is here, we're going to try and teach you the powers that you received from him." Cody stared at his grandfather long and hard, mentally saying "It was a few hours after Cody got back to the castle from school. Angelous and I had a little surprise waiting for him.

"Cody, now that your father is here, we're going to try and teach you the powers that you received from him." Cody stared at his grandfather long and hard, mentally saying "you can't get me to go." Angelous didn't seem bothered by Cody's attitude. Finally, one of them spoke.
"Prince Codellious Gabrielle Raven, you will go to the forest with both your father and me to train. And you will do it with a smile." Cody just glared at Angelous, who glared back. He glanced over at me as I tried to hold back my laughter. I could tell that he saw that.
"What if I refuse?"
"Then you will know what it's like to be in the military training that I give to your guards and soldiers." Cody knew what that meant. Blood, mud, and all other things that he wasn't used to. Cody inherited my love of swordsmanship, but he was used to the royal life. He would never be able to keep up with the brutal training that Angelous gave to the guards and soldiers. Shawn is a soldier; and he told Cody horror stories of what he makes them do. Angelous never lies; and Cody knew that as well. He also knew that if he disobeyed, Angelous would see to it that Cody would attend that training. So he decided to give in. He gave a sigh with an attitude. He then walked away with a look of discuss. I hovered over to Angelous' side. He smiled a sinister smile to me.
"Angelous, how did you do that?"
"It's simple all you have to do is show Cody that he's not the only one with problems. That higher authorities have more of a say in his daily life then he does."
"But ... I don't understand."
"You don't have to. All you have to do is be able to teach him how to use your psychic powers. With that done, you'll either join me, or move on. One of the two."
Later that night, Angelous, Cody and I traveled to a secret place of the Kokiri Forest. Angelous made Cody get the fire wood and light them. I was pretty much useless, seeing as how I was only a spirit.
"Ok, now what?" Cody asked, holding the match he used to light the fire. Angelous sighed.
"First off, put the match out." I nodded.
"He's right. We're in the middle of a wooded area. Not to mention that the Kokiri will get really pissed if you burn down their home." Cody shrugged.
"Okay." He stuck the match into the palm of his hand, while the tiny flame was put out by his flesh. He made small pain noises as the flame was being put out. The burn it made in his flesh disappeared. Cody smiled at his healing power. I looked at him with a staring look.
"Well, I was thinking of blowing it out, but your way was good too." Cody threw the match away and sat down next to Angelous.
"Well, what's the point of being able to heal myself if I never get the chance?" Angelous giggled a sinister giggle.
"Don't worry, Lad. Come tomorrow, you'll be happy that you have that power." Cody gulped.
That night, I tried to sleep while Angelous went over training plans for Cody. Being telepathic, I could read his mind without him even knowing. I looked over at Cody and smiled. However, he was shivering. I hated seeing my son suffering, a little or a lot. I woke him up and he jumped. "Cody, are you okay?" He was gasping for air.
"Y – Yeah, I'm fine."
"No you're not, you're freezing. Here, take the extra blanket. I don't need to use it." Cody smiled at me and I smiled back. It was only the middle of the night, so he went back to sleep. I couldn't help noticing how much he looked like me. The only parts of Zelda that you could see in him were his eyes. He had her eyes. He had my golden color of blonde hair, but her turquoise colored eyes. Angelous looked at me and smiled.
"What?" He lightly shook his head.
"Nothing. It's just been so long since I've seen you." I smirked.
"Did you really miss me that much?"
"Well, when you never showed up in the heavens, I began to miss you, yes."
"It still doesn't make any sense. Why am I not a god?" All Angelous could do was shrug.
"I really can't tell you, Link." The night flew by. The only thing I did was watch Cody sleep all night. When he was an infant, I used to do that all the time.
The next morning, Cody stretched and yawned. Angelous and I were talking around the corner, figuring out what we should make Cody do. We stopped chatting as soon as we heard him behind us. "... I don't like the way you guys are looking at me ..." Angelous and I just stared at each other.
The next few hours were pure torture for Cody. First we made him pick up heavy boulders that were at least three thousand times his own weight. Unfortunatly, he couldn't hold it, and it landed on a tree. One of the Kokiri Children was in that tree, and ... well, let's just say that I'm surprised he knew such language. The next thing Cody had to do was to practice his sword techniques. Angelous took over for this part. Every time Cody thought he got the best of Angelous, he turned out to be wrong. I got a big laugh out of watching that. After that, Cody got to take a ten minute break. He washed his face in the spring that was close by. I floated over to him.
"Okay, Son. Time to get back to work." Cody looked at me like I was crazy.
"Come on, Dad! Please just give me a few more minutes. Grandpa isn't even back from gathering food."
"He'll be back in a few minutes. Now, c'mon, it's time to get back to work." Just then, Angelous thundered into the conversation with his bag full of berries, fish, and special herbs.
"Grandpa, Dad's making me train some more after I've only been off for five minutes." Angelous looked at me, and then smirked at Cody.
"So." Cody's jaw dropped. Angelous and I looked at each other with smiles. Cody saw us smiling and folded his arms.
"I'm not going just yet." I stepped up to him and looked him straight in the eye. I forgot that he had the same color of eyes that Zelda has, and I was about to give in when I remembered that this was my son, not my wife.
"Prince Codellious Gabrielle Raven, you either cooperate, or I'll –
"Or you'll what, Dad?" Cody's sudden change of voice turned from rebellious to confident. I raised my hand to smack him, and when I did; my hand just went right through his body. Cody just smirked at me. You see, Dad? You can't even touch me." He was right. Being a spirit, I had no body. So it was impossible for me to touch anyone that was alive. However, Angelous smiled and walked up to him.
"I can." Cody backed away from him with a look of shock.
"Hey, I got no problem with you ... "
"Then do as we say." Cody sighed in defeat. There was nothing he could do. For the next few days, Cody's torment continued.
