Pit
I opened my eyes to see black. I opened and closed then blinking quickly seeing no difference at all. Am I alive? Looking around I still saw nothing but black. Alone again.
There were three objects in front of me all of a sudden, I wondered if this was a dream. A wisp of air blew away the objects and something else formed. A dragon flew in front of me watching me as it went in circles over head. Like a vulture it came closer and closer the more circles it flew.
"Are you the angel who's wings don't work?" The dragon asked. "The one they call Pit?"
I jumped, it could actually talk. "Yes... How do you know who I am?" I asked trying to stay calm.
"I'm your dragon that watched you as you grow up, like a guardian almost." The dragon said.
Like a stalker. I thought. "Why though?" I asked, this was just getting even more confusing.
"Sometimes a dragon is supposed to save the hero, you must save your friends memories before they fade away... I'm here to help." The dragon said.
"I'm dreaming." I said. "You're just a figment of my imagination."
"You're not dead if that's what you're thinking... Open your eyes Pit." The dragon said.
"My eyes are open!" I said confused again.
"No they aren't."
I looked around confused, then closed my eyes and opened them again. He was right. My eyes were never open. I was riding on the back of the dragon I had been talking to in my dream. The dragon was white, something I couldn't see before. He seemed young for he wasn't at all boney. His wings went out a long distance and I swear you could walk on them with enough room for five other people.
We were soaring in the sky above the clouds, the sun was setting close by. It was so beautiful I had forgotten the objects. All I could think of was how gorgeous everything seemed.
"Now your eyes are open." The dragon said. I sat up still in awe of the sky's beauty.
"How come I'm not dead?" I asked looking down below, still only clouds. "Didn't I hit the ground?"
"You did... But sometimes it's not too late... Look at your leg..." The dragon was incredibly mysterious and for some reason I was afraid to look at my leg...
I looked down slowly... Just as he implied, it was broken, it had been twisted in the most angle you could think of before something breaks. "Is that fixable?" I said a little disgusted.
"That's not it... You fell from an incredibly tall height." Great, I thought, then began looking at my arms. They were perfectly fine.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
The dragon looked back at me. "Remember 'you fell from an incredibly tall height' you're hallucinating."
I looked harder, still nothing. "I can't see anything you're talking about."
The dragon ducked down from the clouds hurling itself towards the ground. "Hey dragon! I keep forgetting to ask you your name!"
"I don't have a name." The dragon answered.
Our landing was harsh, at least for the dragon. He stuck the landing still and left me unharmed. "You've awoken too early, you cannot see correctly." The dragon said.
"How's that possible?" I asked.
"You've never had a parent before ever have you? I know... Whenever you were sick you took care of yourself, that's why you had to stay awake... Even Palutena wouldn't do anything... But now you have someone so do as I say! And Rest..." I was amazed, this dragon I had never met before cared about me so much.
All I did was nod and slide off his back. Dragons, I thought, I never thought they could be this awesome...
The ground was hard, but the grass was warm and comforting... I could tell that, that fall may have actually made me sick because I fell asleep right away... And dreamed of a better time...

"Piper!" Link called.
"What Link?" Piper turned around.
"You know what today is right?" Link said sounding excited.
"Our friend anniversary, I'm very aware of it. But where's Pit? He has to be here! He's a part of the friend triangle!" Piper said.
"I'm right here!" Pit yelled. "Where are we going today!"
The three of them laughed all of a sudden, something they never got but always did.
"Lake Hylia." Link answered. "I'm going fishing..."
Piper giggled behind her hand. "You are, I'm not!"
"Well you're my girlfriend not my best friend, you don't have to do everything I do." Link said.
"I'm not going with you either. Last time ended in disaster." Pit said.
"Come on guys stop killing time! Girls talk for a long time but you guys are freaks!" Piper said agitated.
"We should walk." Link said in a British accent.
"Oh that would be the most superb!" Pit said jokingly with another British accent then they both looked over at Piper whose face was bright red. She was laughing so hard she couldn't stop.
"And what tis your opinion." Link said still with the accent.
Piper tried talking but ended up laughing again. "I must say the metro is quite delightful." Piper managed to say in a British accent like the other two.
"You're out numbered therefore, we walk." Pit said.
Link and Pit looped their arms together and began walking away. Once they looked at each other though they burst out laughing. Tears in their eyes they were having so much fun.
"What's next, we act French?" Piper laughed as they began walking.
"Country?" Link suggested.
"Like we're royal!" Pit laughed. "Like how Zelda treats everyone!" Link laughed at this the most.
"Link can be the peasant..." Piper laughed.
"Who hasn't eaten in a month." Pit said.
Link laughed along even though he was being made fun of. "She can cast me off with her simple who cares about a peasant quote!"
"Link tree!" Piper yelled.
"Huh?" Link went face first into a tree.
"Are you all right?" Piper yelled.
"Fine, like always when this happens, fine." Link got up again and they continued.
"You've gotta stop doing that!" Pit said.
"You don't think I've been trying." Link said. "Call me a cluts I don't care it's true though."
We joked about everything... If only it had lasted longer.

I woke up again a little sad, I wanted my dream to continue. Up until the part when we all got kicked out of castle town for the day for scaring everyone... We all fell asleep with each of us in one of the different parts of Hyrule field.
When I looked around I realized it was a dream. Also it was in third person, but it felt realistic enough to me...
But this isn't a dream anymore and I have to wake up. Everything around me is just as I left it except it was now dark out. It was a full moon and the air was cold. Whenever I breathed out a small cloud appeared. The ground was even covered in frost...
It must be close to winter, I thought, it's never this cold during the night.
The dragon was flying over my head like in my "dream." It was quiet and peaceful. I shivered though because it was so cold. I couldn't enjoy it. "Dragon!" I yelled to see if I could get his attention. I really wish he had a name, it's really strange to call something what they are. It was like calling someone you know human.
The dragon couldn't hear. I would've stood up but my leg stung, and so did my arms which surprisingly were a little bit at an odd angle. "Dragon!" I tried yelling louder watching my fog like breath disappear.
Still he couldn't hear. "I give up." I sighed.
The dragon started lowering towards the ground, did he really only hear that? When he dragon landed he looked at me funny. "Give up on what?" He asked.
My jaw dropped. "Are you..." I stopped myself quickly. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to call him deaf. "Nevermind... It's really cold out."
"Maybe if you built a fire you'd be fine." Maybe he's an ice dragon.
"Are you an ice dragon or something?" I asked.
"No, why would you think that?" The dragon asked.
"If you were a regular dragon you could make the fire yourself." I said pointing out the obvious.
"Well I am a fire dragon... But I want to see if you can handle yourself." The dragon responded.
My eye was twitching, he wanted me to build a fire with a broken leg and arms. "But you said you watched me grow up." I said angry.
"I want you to show me that even when there's help nearby or right next to you..." The dragon said. And then I got it.
I nodded and slowly got to my feet, even though they stung. I couldn't see a forest nearby and I really wanted, no, needed to sit down, but I pushed through it. "Can you at least tell me where a forest is?"
"To your right, remember to look for a light when you've gotten everything... Since I know you're terrible with constellations." The dragon said taking off into the sky again.
"To my right..." I looked over to my right and saw a silhouette of what probably was a forest, but it looked like a bush. Either way I headed over there anyway.
It didn't really make sense to me about my whole situation. The dragon never told me where he came from, he just appeared. It was a possibility Palutena sent him and just made all the watching stalker stuff up. But still, it didn't make any sense.
The dragon was still close by, I felt like he was watching me... Watching me, Palutena simply found me when I came here... How come she can't see me now...
"OW!" I screamed, I tripped over a rock and tried to save myself with my arms. My leg hurt even more.
The walk was painful but I made, finally, made it to the forest... The ground was covered in thick fog... I had a feeling he just wanted me dead. I could just take a few twigs from the outside but something seemed strange about the woods.
I took a step into the fog... "Don't!" Something screamed. I took another step in... "Do you not get kid!"
"I'll have you know I'm more than twenty years old!" I screamed back... "I just look a lot younger than I actually am..."
"Oh well that's nice... How old?" It said.
"I'm not going to tell you that!" I said. (I was thirteen at heart when I met Piper and Link. Then they caught up and I kind of grew up with them...)
"What are you?" The voice said sounding really close.
I ran in hoping to get farther away from whatever was talking to me. Then something grabbed my wings and I froze. "You're an angel huh?" The voice asked.
"What are you then?" I asked turning around so the voice would stop grabbing my wings.
"That's confidential, let's just say my name's Vanessa and I've lived in this forest my whole life..." Vanessa said.
"Can't you just leave me alone?" I said.
There was just simply silence. The fog began to clear and Vanessa was gone... But then I heard her voice again... "Follow me, I'll help..." It was a trick, definitely a trick but followed her voice anyway...
Piper
Piper stared around the room, there was one person missing and it just didn't feel right without him. But he was gone for now and she couldn't do a thing about it. "Why would he just give up like that..." Piper said to herself. Everyone looked at her.
"What are you talking about?" Stone asked.
"Nothing..."
Stone just shrugged and looked away. He had been telling stories all night long. The one he was telling now was about two people who discovered the truth about their land. "It started with one man who was trying to take back what was rightfully his. But the story is still occurring I can't go on any farther."
"What kind of story would that be then?" Jake questioned.
"It was in the library, I have it right now, someone named Lear." Stone grabbed the book out of a bag. It had the name Lear etched on the side. Jake grabbed it intrigued.
Regal slid next to Zandrea like a best friend might when the other's down. "You know he'll come back... It'll just take time."
"Time in which I can't wait. What if he dies, what if he's being tortured, what if ..." Zandrea stopped unable to come up with anything else.
"You know he's strong enough, he's not going to die. Any torture that he endures, is for keeping you safe. He will return and I promise you, he'll be fine." Regal finished and left Zandrea to think about everything she'd said.
"I'm not going to stand for this... I'm going to go find Link..." Zandrea stood up abruptly. "You all think he's strong enough, yes it's true but he doesn't know how to escape. I know him, and he's only a half... I'm the other half, I need to find him to make the whole.
Din
I looked into Link's blue eyes while he looked into my red eyes. He knew my intentions, he knew everything. A brother as clever as I was. Just not as smart. "We both know exactly what I want. You are to get me what I need or else."
"Only if you give me my memories back." Link said.
"I'm making no more deals with you. Or anyone else. I thought I've made that clear." I scowled at him.
"Lock me up and throw me away, torture me all you want you'll never find your stupid Triforce of Power." Link resisted.
I lit my hand on fire, but he still knew and did nothing. I flew around and looked at Daniel it was his turn to try, not that it would work with him. He stood up from the floor and got face to face with Link.
"You going to talk?" I slapped my face this was already off to a horrible start.
Link actually laughed a bit. "I'm not telling you anything. Now that I know it's been Din and Ghirahim all a long I know that you've just been the model, trying to look powerful."
"I give up! He's just insulting everyone!" I screamed. Link laughed again.
"Wait I haven't tried yet!" Ghirahim said. "I know his weak point even though he's not my target."
"You can try but I doubt you'll get much out of him." Daniel and I stepped aside and Ghirahim stood in front of Link.
Link looked up at him with a smirk. "You think you're so clever but really you have a weak mind."
"Not true..." Link said... He only talked in short sentences his arms were bound to his side just as his words up until he made his point.
"Tell me you didn't come here because you were trying to keep Zandrea safe." Ghirahim said.
"I won't deny it."
"Then you be pretty upset if you found her dead right?"
"What do you think."
"What I think is that if you don't go find that shard you will be watching Zandrea suffer and die right in front of your eyes. I know her, she's my target. I attack at night and find her. You've got it right?"
"What you don't know is that I can tell a lie from a mile away. You need Zandrea so why would you kill her?"
"Dang it... I'll return your memories..."
"Not enough..."
"Look into my eyes and tell me I'm not lying when this is over. She is my enemy I'm not directly affiliated with these two therefore I may do whatever i want with her. You will see her blood if you do not do as I say. I will cause her no harm until you get us that shard. We will return enough of your memories so you can at least locate the shard and if you do not do so you get it."
Link stopped, you could tell he was thinking very critically, he couldn't escape this. "You aren't lying, I will find that shard... Only if you at least give me this... I want to know what I actually am to Zandrea."
"Deal..." Ghirahim untied Link and they shook hands. My mouth fell open, he was completely right about everything.
I walked over to Link and threw my arm around him. "We're in business guys. But first you have to go back in that cell for awhile got it?"
"If I can wander Hyrule freely afterwards than it's fine..."
I've never seen him like this... I shoved him along and threw him into his old cell, the pitch black one. I ran back into the throne room and sent Daniel to get all the guards. I sat down exhausted in thought. We finally have him on our side. At least for now, he's still against us but until he gets that shard we don't harm him and he doesn't harm us.
All the guards came storming in a halted before the throne. "I've gathered you here to inform you about something. You can no longer hunt down Link or Zandrea or any of their companions traveling with them until I say. If you even scratch one of them I will kill you! GOT IT!"
"Yes Din... " The lead guard said.
"Then go!" I yelled.
I watched them all file out, when I glanced over to the hallway where I had lead Link to his cell I saw something shining but I had no idea what it was. When it disappeared I just forgot about it.
Link
Link stood in his cell unable to see a thing. Suddenly the door creaked open. A girl stood on the outside. Her hair was pure white and her skin was slightly tan. Her hair was down over her eyes but he still slightly recognized her. She tossed something in and it skidded across the floor hitting his foot.
Link examined it, it had a purple hilt and was wrapped in a green cloth. Around the bottom part of the blade the hilt went up like wings. On top of that the Triforce was engraved in the blade.
"The Mastersword?" Link said. It had been taken away from him when they first captured him, he hadn't seen it since. "Where was it?"
"In a heavily guarded room, I suggest you take it and go." She began to shut the door but Link quickly threw his foot into it. "What?"
"Who are you?" Link asked confused.
"A friend..." The girl quickly kicked Link's foot back inside the cell and shut the door.
Link sat there and waited until her footsteps died away to go looking for his sword. His hand went across the dirty floor until they finally met the blade, but something happened and he collapsed on to the floor.
aefb
Link stared across an open field. He was confused, did I pass out? How did I get here?! There were two people in the distance, one looked like exactly like him. He raced over to them then froze when he saw who the other person was.
I remember this! The other one was Din, they had been fighting and Link knew exactly what was to happen. The other Link struck Din's arm with his sword and she stumbled back. She fell down and Link ran over ready to strike again but Din tackled him down.
It was strange to see it all like this, it had to be telling him something. Link grabbed Din's hand... Trying to hold her down he struck her hand. He was trying to get the Triforce of Power from her, but it wouldn't work. It only popped up for a second before Din threw Link up against the cliff wall and knocked him unconscious.
The Triforce piece cracked and shattered... One shard disappeared... This was what he had to find... The scene began to fade away as Din dragged Link back to the castle where he had escaped... And that's when he must've forgotten everything.
ecdf
I woke up with a start, the Mastersword was grasped tightly in my hand. Footsteps suddenly came sprinting down the hallway. Panicking I chucked my sword at the wall this just made the footsteps go faster. The door was torn open to reveal yet another stranger, but this one was a stranger.
The stranger first saw the sword when he opened the door. "Where and how did you get that?" he asked suspicious. His hair was brown and grey at the same time and his eyes were green and he looked angry.
"I don't know..." I lied. "I didn't even see it until now." This didn't convince the guard though. He tell straight through my lies that none of this was true.
"How where did you get that sword?"
"Someone put it in here..." This much was true. But it wasn't enough.
"You know exactly what I'm asking! Stop this and tell me who gave it to you!" Demanded the guard.
Bleach Blonde... "Sarah." I hoped the guard wouldn't know who that was.
"Sarah... Who's Sarah?" A sudden hand pulled the guard away. It was Ghirahim again...
He stared down at me with questioning eyes. "We need more information. You either give us what we want or you get tortured... One or the other I suggest you give us what we want... Or else."
I got up with the Mastersword in my hand, this time I didn't collapse. This wasn't a good thing though. He knew I had my memories back now... "You have some explaining to do there..."
I let out a weak laugh and walked out the sword still in my hand. The guard tied my hands together and took the sword away. Before I could complain another guard came and threw his spear up at my back. I was getting questioned and by all the measures they were taking I knew it was serious. Ghirahim lead our small group through a series of hallways and rooms until we finally stopped in a pitch black one.
I couldn't see a thing, I had no idea what was around me, I just hoped it wasn't anything horrible. "What am I doing here?" I asked.
"I want to know a few things... Especially about the war." Ghirahim said somewhere behind me.
"Which war the resent one... There's been a lot of wars." I said as something was thrown at my back.
"You know which war because someone gave you that sword!" Ghirahim screamed.
"In what way, I know everything now... Zandrea and I were in a relationship... Pit and I were best friends, Din has a crush on Daniel. You my friend have arachnophobia."
"Tell me everything about that war." Ghirahim stood right next to me now, his voice was loud in my ear.
I had to think, this wasn't going to be short, He wanted to know everything that happened. "It started when the guards came to get me. Zandrea was out with Pit trying to find his Dragon."
Ghirahim quickly cut me off. "What Dragon?"
"A dragon. All Pit told me was that the Dragon was his, he found it when he was out with Lexi once. Don't know who that is. But he was looking for his dragon that's all I can remember, my brain is still fuzzy." I closed my eyes trying to remember more but nothing came. I though harder only to find nothing. "I can't remember..."
Suddenly my head hurt. It was only a bit but it soon hurt more. I lifted my hand up to my head confused. Then I realized what was happening. "Get out of my head!" I screamed. I never knew this could happen... Zandrea never told me... How was it possible... Ghirahim was drilling into my mind just to figure out what he needed.
Before I could do anything I was down on my knees holding my head in pain. "What are you talking about?" Ghirahim looked just as confused as I was. We both didn't know what was going on. "That's impossible. Even for Zandrea. I may know different "spells" than her I don't know how to do that."
My head was pounding like someone was taking a hammer and smashing my head up against a wall. I let out a scream, my head was bleeding, it stung... I just wouldn't go down. My eyes began to close and my body went numb. I couldn't see anything, but i knew I was awake.
Pit
I've been walking for hours nonstop. The only "company" I have is Vanessa's voice shouting out directions every once and awhile. I've gotten over the intense pain in my leg and now it only feels like an irritating bruise, but it still really needs attention. That Dragon didn't even do anything about it... Should I trust him if I ever see him again?
"Right, Pit, turn right!" Vanessa screamed. Her voice had turned into an echo I was sure I could only hear.
I took the right almost tripping on a tree root. My foot caught the inside of another and I fell over. My leg stung but I worked through it and kept moving like nothing happened. "Left!"
The trees almost glowed green in the morning light. I could hear the dead leaves rustle under my feet as I walked on into the unknown. My back slouched in pain, I haven't had anything to drink in hours, and my leg was broken! This Vanessa wasn't getting me anywhere!
I've been trying to find Link and Zandrea for days and all I've stumbled upon is a war between Nature and Light. I grabbed a rock from the ground and turned it around in my hand. It had a strange sapphire tint to it, I glanced at it one more time before throwing it at a nearby tree in frustration.
"Stop!" A hand came at my face and I flinched. I looked past the hand and saw a girl. Her hair was a very dark brown and her eyes were almost grey. She was about my height, short, and wore a black dress with golden stitching at the hem. She also wore black leggings that went down to her knees. A scarf topped everything off, it went around her neck and the rest dropped behind her back.
"Vanessa?" I asked.
"The one and only..." Vanessa put her hand down and smiled. "So kid, what are you doing in the woods, and more importantly following me?"
My face went red. "I thought we'd gone over the whole kid thing..."
Vanessa began laughing at me. "Fine, just tell me your real name angel face..."
I let out my own laugh. "Do you know Magnus?" I asked. Vanessa didn't answer, instead she laughed again. "Answer me and I'll answer you."
"Magnus was my brother, if you're telling me you were that angel he met than you came to the wrong place!" Vanessa took a step away from me and turned away. "He was my half brother but he still counted enough. My parents were angels though..." She fell silent and began walking away. "Follow me..."
I looked behind myself just to see the trees, we were far in and I didn't like it. It felt like someone one was watching me. I turned around and walked behind Vanessa trying to keep up with her brisk pace. Soon the trees began to thin out and we entered a huge clearing with a small one story house in the center. It was broken down and the door hung open, to my horror she most likely lived here.
"This is my... "House" you could say... Kind of... Last time I was here was, six years ago... I think, but either way it would've been destroyed anyway." Vanessa ripped the door off its hinges and tossed it aside while I stood back confused.
"Is that even safe?" I asked nervous.
"Nonsense! You've gotten everything thrown at you this should be nothing!" Vanessa pointed out.
"I never told you my name did I?" I remembered. "It's Pit, the angel who can't fly."
"Oh I've heard of you..." Vanessa finally pulled me into the dark house. Inside was just as broken as the outside, any furniture that I could see had been broken. The walls were cracked so you could see outside.
Vanessa opened a small door that led to her basement. The stairwell down was long and complicated like they were trying to protect something. The farther down they went the less cobwebs and debris appeared. None of us said a thing, I was lost in thought.
Why am I even following her, why did I even trust her... If anything goes wrong what do I do? This is bad, I don't have any weapons, unless i check my sandals... I looked down at my foot, the that wasn't injured wore the sandal I used to store some off my weapons, with Zandrea's help I was able to shrink them and grow them back to use them whenever I needed to.
The stairwell finally stopped and we were in a bright room lit by several lanterns. In one corner was a closed door, in another was multiple weapons all cover in blood... Turn back now Pit! "Why am I down here?" I asked my voice quivering.
"So no one can hear you scream..." Vanessa smiled, her face in an evil grin. I was shocked, my mind was right, I should've turned away and ran. Glancing at my sandal I hoped it had something in it.
"Why..." I asked not sure what else to say.
"Because..." Vanessa paused trying to decide if she should tell me or not. "When i was little I used to go out to these two hills, sit on top, and gaze at the sky for hours. Afterwards I would go up there and touch the clouds, if you know what I mean...
"Then one day my father decided to come with me, he'd been gone for awhile and he wouldn't tell us where he went. When we got to the hills there was an angel sitting there, we didn't know why but it turned out he was hunting my father down. Un armed and caught off guard the angel killed my father leaving me to run away.
"When i got home my family was gone... I accused that angel and made a promise to myself I would hunt him down. After that so I wouldn't be considered a traitor to my family I cut off my wings and ran."
I stood silent, my mouth slightly open. "Prove it!" I yelled. Vanessa sighed.
"You'll never learn to believe people will you?" Vanessa turned around and went to the corner where all the weapons sat. That's when I realized something. Her scarf must've been hiding what was left of her wings... If I could tear the scarf away...
Vanessa came at me with a blood stained sword and I panicked. Fumbling I quickly reached into my right sandal and pulled out my Crusader Blade by chance, it was one of my strongest and my favorite. Our weapons clashed together and she pulled back amazed.
"Where did you get that?!" Vanessa yelled. I shot the blade at her but it was too slow and she simply walked away from them. I ran at her with my blade streaming behind me ready to melee. Our weapons met once more and from then I could tell we were evenly matched,
I went at her again, blade raised, and hit her hard. Vanessa let out a horrible scream and I realized my mistake. I hit her way to hard..."I'm so sorry."
Vanessa tossed her sword away. "It's all right.. I shouldn't have challenged you anyway. I saw strength, but I didn't realize..." She hugged herself in pain, I felt so bad all of a sudden. Even worse than bad, I almost killed her.
"So, you cut off your wings huh?" I laughed, and she laughed too. I'm still not sure if I can trust her in any way but at least we've made progress...
