"You son of a bitch!" I shouted as I saw the boy, now a man step out of the temple's hidden chamber. He didn't have enough time to realize what was happening to react to my fist coming into contact with his face, and sending him back into the chamber, "The fact that I'm still on the surface is because of you!"

I took a deep breath as I shook my hand, not used to actually punching someone, "Hylia damn, now get up Link, we have work to do," I turned around to Sheik, to see her eyes wide from shock, "What? I've been waiting to do that for seven years now."

"How did you get the Tri-force of wisdom?" She asked as she shook her head, she stood in front of where I was, and gestured for link to come towards her, "I am Sheik, I'm aware that the Sage has told you that we are here to help, but before we go I must make sure that you remember the song of time."

"Wait, I can understand the two of you, why is that?" Link asked completely ignoring Sheik's request, looking between the two of us.

"That's one of the powers of the Tri-force evidently, it allows us to communicate effectively with others, despite not knowing each other's languages," I held up my hand, revealing the mark of Wisdom on my hand, "Each one has its own special attributes, such as my affinity for the magical arts. I can only imagine what the Tri-force of Power bestows on its wielder."

"Okay, I understand that much," Link said as he took a deep breath, "Sheik, is it?" He looked at our female companion, "I know the song of time still, what has been seven years for all of you, has only been seconds to me. Rauru said that one of you should know where we are going."

"He's right," Sheik said as she crossed her arms, "There is a legend passed down through the Sheikah, but we can skip that as it isn't very important. There are six temples, including this one. The first one we need to go to is the Forest temple, which is a weeks trek through the forest."

"Maybe for us, you use magic teleporty songs," I told her as I sat down on the ground, "Which I evidently can't use because I have no musical talent."

"That isn't my fault, you are just tone deaf. Even an ounce of musical talent and you would have been able to play enough of the song to teleport there. All you need to know is six notes."

"So, why don't you teach me this song?" Link asked, keeping me from making a retort at Sheik, "Wouldn't it be easier for all of us if I just got there as fast as I could?"

"It isn't that easy, you have to have been to that place first. So, that way you can visualize it. I'll teach you the song when you get to the Forbidden Forest Temple past the Kokiri woods. The Sage in the woods is someone I think you should know."

"Let's get walking Hero boy," I said as I stood up, and began walking towards the door of the temple, "Don't slow me down, because I'm not going to wait for you," as I started to walk away, I heard the telltale snap of a deku seed hitting the ground, along with Link cursing about the Sheikah and using Dekuseeds on him to disappear, "You get used to it," I told him over my shoulder. I sighed as I began thinking about how I got dragged into this by my friends back at Skyloft.

Seven years earlier.

In the Skies above Hyrule.

"Hey, Kyle!" I heard my close friend Kintaque shout from outside my door at the boarding school, "Want to go somewhere on our day off of patrols, maybe the theater or arcade?"

I sighed as I paused my game of Sky Guardians: Legend of the Surface dwellers, and turned off the TV, "What makes you think I'm going to move my ass to go watch some chick-flick with you? Especially on my first day off in six months?"

"Well, excuse me princess," she shouted as she kicked in my door, "but I wanted to do something fun with my best friend before the big sky race tomorrow. I mean seriously, who in their right mind would want to stay home, play video games, not do their patrol reports..." she pointed to my desk full of unfiled reports that I didn't even want to touch, indicating that she was trying to blackmail him into going somewhere with her, "and not go watch Groom Prince with me at the theater three islands over at the theater where no one knows us?"

"I'm not your boyfriend, you can-" I wasn't able to finish as she grabbed my cloak and threw it at my face. I groaned as I felt her hand grab the collar of my shirt, and the wooden floor under me disappear, "This is kidnapping!"

"No, this is 'Friendnapping.' It's this knew thing that I'm trying out, and so far, its working out pretty well," She dragged me out to the jump ramp and threw me off, "Might want to call in your Loftwing!" She shouted down to me, in a mocking tone.

"Why does she do this to me?" I asked myself as I whistled for my Albino Loftwing, Titus.

I heard his high-pitched caw ring through the sky as a shadow descended on me. I opened my profile to slow my fall, and felt the gust of wind as the white bird flew past me. I smiled as I landed on his back, "Good job," I told him rubbing him under the neck, "you'll get a treat when we la-"

I was cut off by a sudden gust of wind that hit the two of us, I held on as tight as I could to Titus, "Hang in there," I told him.

I felt my air supply begin to run out, and my vision faded, "Stuck... in a vortex..." I said to myself as my grip slackened from the reigns of my loftwing. The last thing I heard before passing out was the high pitched scream of my loftwing trying to get to me.

So, how did you like this chapter? It feels strange, writing in two time periods, one periodically going farther back in time while the other is advancing in time, I'm probably not the first to use this format for a story, but I think it's fun. Let me know if you guys like this or not. This is more or less a test story for my LoZ skills, I'll probably write more in different timelines of LoZ, I like this one because according to the branching dimension theory, OoT is where the three paths diverge between the Twilight games, the Wind Waker games, and the other set of games that I'm not going to bother to remember.
