Sorry if last chapter was a little roughly written everyone, I wasn't really feeling well and missed a few key parts in the story. Oh well, this one should help patch up some confusion. Please review! :)

I'll tell you what. After the pain in my arm was eating me alive, I really wasn't as hungry as before.
I was just flat-out scared out of my mind.
I knelt next to the pond I had just previously passed out next to, and soaked for hours, pondering the life I would never relive.
Skyloft. A land that was now so far away, I land I could never return to. Not in my lifetime. My loftwing would not hear my whistles, my mother not my screams.
Karane, Colin, Headmaster Gaepora, Instructor Horwell, Groose, Stritch, and everyone else at the academy are no doubt shaking their heads at me.
I mean, how typical of such an unexperienced knight in the field.
"No!" I screeched at the top of my lungs.
I sloshed the water angrily around me and dove deep under it's moving surface. I knew how to swim, quite well in fact. I pumped my legs powerfully, propelling myself even further down into the mystic liquid.
It was strange, the farther I went, the less I felt the need for air. I kept going, because I had nothing to lose anyway.
The farther I went, the farther my mind pulled away from my life in Skyloft. So I kept diving, despite my ear's desprate cries of warning.
I finally reached the bottom, and strange images immediatly skipped through my mind and blurred out my vision.
The statue of the Goddess opens its maw and sings the ancient melody. She chants my name and tells an ancient prophecy, though not one I had recollected. It told of the two who would be challenged, and eventually would be forced to meet paths in a place where both would experience situations and have their lives put to the test. They were named The Golden and The Duke.
I realized that she meant me, not just two other people. Me. I was The Golden!
The Goddess had placed me here for a reason, not just to suffer and perish a coward's death.
I literally hurdled out of the water once I had reached the air.
I laid on my side gulping lungfulls of air. I think I just had an epiphany. And if I wasn't trying to hold onto my sanity, I would cheer on myself.
There was just one thought that kept swimming around my head.
If I am The Golden, then who is The Duke?
