Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, However much I might want to.

Once she had made her way back to the academy she decided to go and see the headmaster. He was the only one besides Zelda that had talked about the surface.

She ran over to him and wiped sweat from her forehead before clearing her throat causing him to turn around to face her. "You're back, Kella! Glad to see you're still in one place." He eyed her muddy, bloody, and torn up black tunic. "Well mostly." He chuckled causing her to glare at him. "So, how's it going down there? Are you any closer to finding my Zelda?" She sighed before she launched into an explanation.

"You see, I did catch up with her, but then...the person that's after her found her again. I had to distract him while she escaped with Link." Kella explained.

"Hm... I see... My poor Zelda...Things must be terribly trying for her down there. And it can't be easy for you now either, can it?" She chuckled.

"I'll live. If only to make sure that she lives then so be it. On another note, I need to know the lyrics to the song Zelda sang on the day of the wing ceremony. The ballad of the goddess I believe is the name."

"Hm...You want to know the lyrics to the song Zelda sang on the day of the wing ceremony? You know, I'm not much of a singer." She stiffened.

"I just need the lyrics, thanks." She said as she scratched the back of her head nervously.

"You just want the lyrics? Phew! What a relief! You really put me on the spot there for a moment. I believe the lyrics go something like this,

Oh youth guided by,
The servant of the goddess,
Unite earth and sky,
Bring light to the
land." She nodded, remembering Zelda singing that part at the wing ceremony.

"That's the first part of the song but as I recall there is a second verse,

Oh youth,
Show the two whirling sails,
the way to the Light Tower,
And before you a path shall open,
And a heavenly sing you shall hear."

"Wow. That's oddly specific." She said with a chuckle. "Thanks Headmaster!" She called over her shoulder as she made her way out the door.

"Kella, wait!" She turned around to face Headmaster Gaepora. "That tunic of yours...It is beyond repair." She glanced down at her tunic and chuckled dryly.

"Yeah..."

"Green is the color tunic that the knights will be wearing this year. I think it would look good on you." He explained as he took out a green tunic set that was folded up and placed in a plastic bag. She sighed.

"No use arguing?"

He chuckled. "Not really, no."

"Sounds great." She said as she forced a smile onto her face before she stormed out of the office and into her own room down the hall.


She looked herself in the mirror and sighed. She now wore a white long sleeved shirt with a green tunic over top that reached down to about six inches below her waist. The green tunic had gold marking along the bottom of the sleeves, the bottom of the tunic, and the top of the tunic. She wore a pair of white tights, light brown boots that came up to just below her knees, and a pair of dark brown gloves that didn't cover her fingers.

She also wore a pair of blue sleeves that went from her wrists and up her arms to just below her elbows. Over top of the blue sleeves she had a pair of light brown arm guards strapped to her arms with odd markings on them. She strapped her sword and shield to her back and attached her belt to her tunic with her pouch already attached to her belt. She took a deep breath before she place the hat on her head and placed a determined look on her face before she attached her shield to her back and headed out of the room and then out of the knight academy and into skyloft.


She made her way through town and froze when she spotted a tower with a sail on it. She walked up to it and noticed it had what looked like a whirling sail and a propeller on it. She took out her gust bellows and blew air on it causing the tower to turn. She did it again, and again, and again, until a glassed over gem lit up.

She turned around and ran down a path, across a bridge and up a steep hill where she found a tower with no propeller for her to use her gust bellows on. She blinked in confusion.

"What's up, Kella?" She turned around to see Jakamar, Kukiel's father, standing there with a hammer in his hand like usual. "So you curious about that windmill, eh?"

"Yeah. Do you know where the propeller went?" He pondered her question for a moment before he grinned victoriously.

"The thing flew off ages ago. It must have dropped down off the edge beneath the clouds somewhere." She nodded.

"Okay thanks." She said as she ran past him and into the Bazarr.

"Huh?" She questioned as she spotted a robot that was in pieces and resembled the robots in the Lanayru Desert.

"Hey, kid, what's up? You look like you need to get something off your chest." Gondo said with a smile on his face. "I think I know what it is. You've got a favor to ask me right?"

"Yeah. About that robot..." She trailed off, lost in thought.

"Huh? It's about this old robot my grandpa used to tinker around with?" He questioned.

"Yeah. You see there's something under the cloud barrier that I need. I think that robot can help me." She explained with a small smile on her face as she brushed some of her hair out of her face.

"Wait, you say you need to pick something up in the clouds below with this robot?"

"Yeah."

"I don't think I can help you. You see my grandpa's old robot... What's it called again... Oh hey that's right...His name's Scrapper! He may not be much to look at these days. But he was an amazing robot once! He could go anywhere and haul anything."

"Good. I'll take him." She snapped impatiently.

"He's a hunk a junk now. My grandpa did say once that you could get him working again with something called an ancient flower." Gondo said.

"I think I have one of those in here." She said as she fished through her pouch until she found a pink flower which she handed to him.

"Great!" She smirked triumphantly.


After she had activated the last whirling sail she headed towards where the light pointed and climbed a ladder. She took out her harp and started to play at random before Fi popped out by the Hylia sign. She nodded to her before she started to pluck the strings on the harp in the now familiar tune of the ballad of the goddess.

Her fingers glided delicately over the strings as Fi sang along.

"Oh youth guided by,
The servant of the goddess,
Unite earth and sky,
Bring light to the
land.

Oh youth,
Show the two whirling sails,
the way to the Light Tower,
And before you a path shall open,
And a heavenly sing you shall hear."
She placed the harp back in her pouch and fell on her ass as the platform they were standing on rotated around and around until the sunlight that streamed in from the roof hit the mirror and a ball of light shot from the mirror and hit the thunderhead, leaving a tunnel of light in it's place.

She blinked after it before grinning. "Yeah!" She cheered victoriously as she jumped off the edge of the tower and into the sky where she fell aimlessly for a few moments before she called her bird to her and started to follow the light. Once she got close enough she dashed into the center of the beam of light and when she opened her eyes again after having closed them to protect them from the wind in her face, she noticed these flying monsters and a building that the beam of light led to.

She quickly flew over to the island and dropped down to find a puzzle waiting for her. "Why does the goddess hate me?" She asked herself after an hour of trying to get it right.

She took a deep breath before hitting the gem to the left and rotating the turning thing. She could only rotate it so far, however, when something blocked her path. "So far so good." She whispered before going up to the dial and hitting the gem on the right before doing the same thing, earning the same result before long.

Once she had finished with the third gem she blinked in utter confusion. There was one piece of the bridge to the right and two to the left. She went back to the gems and hit the right one again and moved the sliding stone once before she went and hit the top one again and moved it twice, succeeding in connecting the 3 pieces of rock, and forming a bridge in the process.

She hit the stone to the right and then pushed the bridge round' till it was leading from the platform she was on to a...crawlspace?

She sighed as she rubbed her temples before she crawled on through and ran down the staircase. She hit the Hylia symbol with her Skyward Strike and watched as everything unfolded.

"Mistress, Kella. I have important information." Fi said as she appeared hovering in the air beside the statue of Hylia. "When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the goddess awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Mistress. These are her words." She started to dance around her, somehow still managing to float as she did so, causing a stream of gorgeous green light to trail behind her.

"She who seeks the sacred flames, listen well, for I guide you from my place at the edge of time. The sacred flames are three in number. To obtain them you must also earn relics known as the three sacred gifts. For each trial you overcome, you shall be blessed with one of these gifts. Make use of the power of these gifts, and you will find your way to the purifying sacred flames. Now I bestow unto you a melody. It will serve as a key, opening the first trial that awaits you deep within the wilds of Faron Woods." She took a deep breath as a odd sense that she knew what she was doing washed over her and she instinctively plucked at the strings in an upbeat song as Fi zoomed round and round the room.

She plucked the strings like she had known the song her whole life and couldn't help thinking of Loftwings, flying all around her. "That song is cal Farore's Courage. It's rousing melody will guide you. Mistress, you must overcome the three trials laid before you to obtain the three sacred gifts. I have committed Farore's Courage to memory. Now you can use your dowsing ability to search for the gate leading to the first trial you must face. I suggest you set out for Faron Woods as soon as you're ready." With that said she did a quick front flip into the sword leaving Kella to ponder on what had just happened.
