Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story... what do you expect?

Link slowly approached the Master sword in the sacred grove.

His eyes traced the intricacy of the masterfully crafted weapon before him, taking in the sharpened edges of the glittering blade.

"Are you going to stand there all day?"

Link glanced back at the small imp like creature riding on his back, her face partially obscured by the fused shadow she wore on her head.
Midna, be patient. Link thought as he slowly stepped towards the bane of evil in the pedestal.
When he was standing right in front of the weapon of light a wave of holy energy radiated outward from the sword, nearly blowing Midna of his back.
Link braced himself against the rush of energy as he struggled to reach the master sword and touched the hilt with his nose.

A bright flash illuminated the clearing.

--

When Link came to he was lying on a rocky island in a sea of clouds with the stars twinkling overhead, he stood up slowly and took in his surroundings.
The first thing he noticed was Midna floating a few feet away with an annoyed expression on her face and that the master sword was floating above his back at angle
as though it were in a sheath. He walked in circles for a few minutes trying to catch it but it followed his movements staying in the same position.

"Don't bother, it can't be moved, I already tried" Midna said with a scowl.

Don't despair o brave warrior

Link jumped and began looking for the source of the ethereal voice as a woman clothed in a forest green kimono with green short-cut hair and the triforce symbol
blazing on the back of her hand.

Link immediately recognized the woman and fell into a wolfish bow.

Rise brave one and ask whatever you want of me with your mind, for i am sure that you have many questions.

Where am I and why am I still a wolf, Farore?

The Master sword has set a trial before you to confirm that you are worthy of it's power. Until then you are to remain in your beast form.
Remember two things: one, seek out the missing fragments of our power and two, seek the white wolf with crimson markings for she shall aid you in
your quest.

What?

Farore was about to answer but a voice drifted out from fog.

oh dear it's him, I have to go now, good luck.

With that last farewell, Farore transformed into an orb of green energy and flew into Link's chest, Sending the blue-gray wolf hurtling through the glowing archway
behind him.

Chapter 1 complete. I plan to turn this into something good.
