Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword only the idea and plot for this story and My OC, Kella.
(Kella's POV)
Kella twisted the key into the right position before she pushed the door open. She turned to Link and smiled briefly before she pushed Link down and took a deep breath before she slowly walked into the room.
She narrowed her eyes as laughter filled the air after the door slammed behind her. She blinked several times as a blindingly bright light immediately shone in her face and she held her arm up in front of her face to block the light from permanently blinding her.
She heard a loud grunt from in front of her, alerting her that she was not alone in the room. She look up to see a tall man who had his back to her standing there. From what she could see he wore white clothing that had diamond markings on it and had a red cape that was blocking his head from few. 'That is, assuming he has a head.' She thought with dread.
"Hm?" His voice questioning but not confused. It was almost as if he had forced the questioning tone into his voice. "Look who it is."
Kella narrowed her eyes as he turned around to face her. He had rather short white hair except for the fact that there was some hair that fell down onto the left side of his face, covering his left eye and coming to a few inches below said eye. She could see that he had golden diamonds hanging on a silver chain that held his cape closed in a way and a black diamond on his left cheek.
"I thought that tornado I stirred up would have tossed and torn you apart. Yet here you are. Not in pieces. Hmm." He said as he turned his head back to the golden door in front of them. 'So it was you.' She thought to herself.
"Not that your life or death has any consequence. It's just the girl that matters now. And I can sense her here. Just. Beyond. This. Door. Mm, Yes, We plucked her majesty from her perch in the clouds and now she's ours." He said with an almost playful tone of voice causing her to resist the urge to snort in derision.
"Oh, but listen to me. I'm positively uncivil. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Demon Lord who resides over this land you look down upon. This world you call the surface. You may call me Ghirahim. In truth, I very much prefer to be indulged with my full title. Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy." She snorted. 'Oh yeah cause sending a tornado to tear my brother to pieces is the most civil thing in the world.' She thought to herself before she quickly drew her sword from it's sheath.
He giggled as he heard the sword being withdrawn. "Did you, really just draw your sword? Ah, Foolish Girl." He mused before he abruptly turned around and out stretched his arms dramatically.
"By all rights, the girl should have fallen into our hands already. And, she was nearly ours when that loathsome servant of the goddess snatched her away. Do you have any idea how that made me feel inside?" He asked as he kneeled forward slightly as the room suddenly became very dark and he moved his fingers in anger.
"Furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!" He yelled before he suddenly disappeared in a swath of diamonds causing her to look around in alarm before she started to turn round and round trying to find where he'd gone.
"This turn of events has left me with a strong appetite for blood shed." His voice echoed around the room and she kept looking around for him when she suddenly felt his breath on her neck causing her to freeze in surprise.
"Still. It hardly seems fair, being of my position to take out all of my anger on you. So I promise up front not to murder you. No, I'll just," He opened his mouth a poked his tongue out and wiggled around her ear before her closed his mouth again. "Beat you within an inch of your life." She tore away from him and spun around with her sword at the ready.
He broke out into fits of laughter as he raised his face to the roof, laughing as his cape disappeared and he focused his eyes on her.
His hand glowed red as he held it out towards her. It didn't take her long to figure out that once she moved her sword one way his hand would follow it. She moved her sword to the right before she quickly slashed at him from the left. She ran forward and stopped in the middle of the room as she fumbled around in her adventure pouch for her slingshot. She finally got it out and then started to aim at him when she realized he was standing right in front of her. He abruptly backhanded her across the face.
"You're kidding me right?" She asked as she regained her balance and jumped to the side. She did a couple of back flips until she felt her back hit the wall. She did a jump attack only for him to grab her sword between two of his fingers. She blinked in confusion before she ripped her sword free with such ferocity that she accidentally hit herself in the face with her sword causing blood to trickle down her face.
"After that big dramatic introduction," She continued as she slashed at him in anger causing diamond to shower her. "You bitch slap me? Really?" She yelled as she slashed at him again. He grinned and licked his lips before he snapped his fingers causing the rapier from before to fall into his hands. He tucked part of it under his arm and rushed forward in nothing but a blur. Before she knew what was happening she found herself bleeding on the floor. She groaned before she got to her feet and glared at him.
With a loud battle cry she ran forward, "Hyyyyyyyyyaah!" She yelled as she did a jump attack only to land in an empty spot where he had been. Looking around frantically she spotted him just as she felt his sword penetrate through her skin again.
She ran forward and slashed at him again and again. He ducked the first blow and jumped back away from the second one. He snapped his fingers causing five glowing red knives to appear diagonally in front of him. Snapping his fingers again and the knives were hurled towards her. She held up her shield to block the blow, causing two of the knives to get lodged deeply in her shield.
She didn't know what came over her but for some reason she sheathed her sword and ran forwards towards him before she unsheathed her sword again and slashed it forward. Ghirahim tucked his sword under his arm again and rushed forward, coming to an abrupt halt Kella jumped away so that she wasn't in front of him. He unleashed his sword, seeing it coming towards her, even though she was a few inches to the side she held up her shield just in time. The force of the attack, even though her shield was held up, sent her staggering back a couple of feet.
She quickly regained her balance before she ran forward and slashed at him before she stabbed her sword forward.
Ghirahim jumped back a couple of paces again before Kella ran up to him and attacked him by slashing her sword over and over again. She held back her arm and slashed her sword forward again only for it to go right through air, she noticed the diamonds a moment later. She looked around and turned around just as Ghirahim slashed his sword at her sending her skidding across the room, causing her to hit her head on one of the pillars in the room. "Son of a bitch!" She growled out as she got to her feet and ran forward with her sword at the ready before quickly slashing away at the Demon Lord.
He jumped back a couple of paces before he charged forward, after tucking his sword under his arm, she blocked the blow with her shield and slashed her sword forward causing diamonds to shower her again. He teleported away from her and snapped his fingers causing another five knives to appear horizontally in front of him before he snapped his fingers again to send them her way. She slashed her sword forward sending them back towards where the Demon Lord had once been but now where only diamonds remained.
To the casual person it would seem logical to start searching for him. But she had fell for this trick before. She quickly ducked to avoid the blade that she could feel whisk over her head. Still crouched there on the floor she whirled around before she sprung to her feet and slashed away at him.
He rushed at her again and she nimbly jumped to the side and slashed at him again, ducking quickly as her slashed at her, catching her over the head causing her to fall to her knees. She coughed up blood before she rolled out of the way and jumped to her feet. He snapped his fingers, once again hurtling knives towards her which she slashed her sword at, causing them to fall to the floor at her feet.
He teleported in a swath of diamonds behind her and was about to slit her throat when she spun around and sliced her sword forward at him. He teleported across to the other side of the room and summoned more knives to hurl at her. She was more than prepared. She slashed them back at him and grinned as she watched him stumble back as one of them hit him. He quickly wiped something from his chin. Saliva? Blood? She didn't know.
"Well, you put up more of a fight than I would have thought possible out of such a soft girl." She smirked triumphantly at that. "But don't clap for yourself just yet. That sword of yours is the only reason you still live." She examined her sword thoughtfully, with a confused expression on her face. "I fear I spent far too long teasing and toying with you."
"What?!" She asked in astonishment.
"The girl's presence has all but faded from here, which means there's no reason to linger here." He continued.
"What?! What do you mean!?" She demanded.
"Good-bye, Skychild. Run along and lay this time. But get in my way again, and your dead." He warned before he moved his sword in a circle in front of him before he disappeared in a swath of diamonds, leaving a heart container in his place as the room brightened up.
She slowly walked up to the heart container. "How generous of him." She mused to herself and spun around when she heard the door open.
"Kella?" Link questioned as he saw her with some drying blood down her face. Her clothes were torn and matted with blood and she had more drying blood on her left arm, right leg, and hand. She had a semi deep wound in her stomach as she picked up the sweet known as a heart container and started to nibble tentatively at the sweet before gestured for her brother to follow, already starting to feel better as she headed through the golden door.
Kella ran up to the edge of the platform before she pointed her sword skyward and sent the Skyward Strike at the ancient sign that was inside a mini pillar causing Fi to appear out of her sword.
"Mistress I have a message from the gods of old. Allow me to translate for you." Fi told her before she started to...dance around on the water. "'From the edge of time I guide you, the one chosen to carry out the goddess's mission. The spirit maiden who descended from the clouds must travel to two sacred places to purify her body. You now stand in one of those places, Skyview Spring. The other is know as Eldin Spring. This second spring is hidden away deep within the scorched earth of Eldin. The spirit maiden, ever mindful of the heavy task entrusted to her, has set out for this second sacred place.'" Fi came to a stop in front of him and started to twirl round and round in a circle in front of her while the goddess's statue glowed and a tablet appeared and flew down into her hands. The next thing she knew she was standing in front of the Skyview Temple.
