Before I start this chapter I would like to thank my best friend for helping me make this character and this story. Please review. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Chapter 2 - Preparation

"Let me get this straight. I have to take on a trial and leave home for a year?", I ask.

"Yes you do. Trust me, you are ready," Mother said,"You are the best fighter out of everyone under twenty in this village."

"Ugh, I need a break. May I open the rest of my presents now?", I ask.

"Yes you may," Mother said. I opened an assortment of presents and got a Shiekah bow along with fire, ice, shock, and bomb arrows and a Sheikah shield embellished with sapphires.

"Mother, may I leave the house and take a final magic lesson before I leave? I want to be sure my magic is at It's best," I ask

"Yes, Corian thought you would want a final lesson so he prepared one for you. He is waiting on the field near the general store," Mother said.

"Ok," I said and without another word I took of excited as I love using magic and study hard to learn every chant and phrase.

All of a sudden I feel a piercing gaze peer into me. "Someone is watching me. I can feel it," I whispered to myself. I ran as fast as I could sprinting to the field. Since it is mid-fall the field had no crops.

When I reach the field Corian asks me,"Impa why are you running?"

"I'm just excited," I fib not wanting to worry my old mentor. "So what type of magic am I going to work on first?".

"Defensive magic. Show me a shield,"Corian says.

"Ok ," I say. I spread my arms out and chant,"Si Ti Soka Tiki Sor Nami," a blue shield made of solid light appears in front of my hands.

"Great job. Next, try a Sheikah sphere."

"Uzzamo Sarki Eausi," I chant and a blue sphere forms in my hands. I force the sphere to a flower and upon impact it explodes.

"Now perform healing magic,"Corian says.

I walk over to the flower (or at least what was left of it) and mutter,"Hici Sumarb Phacimi." The flower's stem regrew and six purple petals appeared.

"Excellent performance today Impa. You may return home now I wish you luck during your trial."

"Bye Corian. I'll see you... eventually." I walk over into the general store and buy carrots, lettuce, eggs, and butter. I gave the clerk a silver rupee. As soon as I step outside I sense the piercing gaze again. I take a couple steps forward and suddenly I feel a sharp pain on the side of my leg. Iturn around to see that an arrow had just nicked me. I yelp in pain and still manage to yell,"Who's there! Show yourself!"
