Sorry for the long, LONG wait. I have tried to update often, but sadly my schedule has been packed. Don't worry because I have not forgotten about this story, and I apologize to any fans I might have had, and I hope you can forgive me. One other thing, I decided to finish the story in first person, but now back to the story.

Chapter 5: The Exile of the Sky

"So," I started, "how did you know about the people of the clouds?" this seemed like something that needed to be known, after all the royal family didn't even know.

"When I was hiking death mountain I came across a strange type of person who was injured. I helped him out and he told me that he came from the clouds but was exiled for attacking an outsider that was under protection of the people." Zereth replied. I couldn't see how his face looked because we were busy fighting Poes while heading to Death Mountain.

"Any idea of where he might be? He could help us get the journal"

"Duck!" he shouted at me and I did, as I did he shot an arrow at a Big Poe that was about to kill me.

"Thanks." I said as I got back up and started fighting.

"No problem. I do have an idea of where he might be, but I am not 100% sure." He said as he flicked dust up with the tip of his sword to blind the three Poes tat ganged up on him, which made them drop their guard so he took out all three of them with one stroke.

"An idea is better than nothing, after all, once we take out that black dragon we still need to get on the cloud." I said as I kicked one of the Poes' pots and shot it with a fire arrow making it explode taking out four Poes and blinding other so I could take them out. After that the other got discouraged and ran away.

"Good job Link." Zereth said as he went over to a Poe's dead body and took its lantern. When he saw me looking at him funny he replied, "Might be dark where we're heading."

"So, where do you think this sky person is?" I asked as I started cleaning my sword.

"In a cave not that far from Death Mountain." He replied and then started whistling. After a while a fox ran over, but its fur was blue, and even I know that isn't normal.

"What is that?" I asked.

"A normal fox that is a friend of mine, just like the great eagle Scar." He replied then turned to the fox, "How are you Swift? Can you help us find Starnight Cave?" and then the fox called swift nodded its head.

"A normal fox? Last time I checked foxes don't have blue fur."

"That's why this fox was rejected by its parents and left to die. If it weren't for me it would have, but I raised it, and now it is faster than any other fox, and has a better sense of smell than anything alive." After he finished he and the fox took off.

Well our relationship isn't getting anywhere, I thought to myself, and then I took off after him. After a while of traveling and fighting some more Poes we reached the cave he was talking about, and he was right, that lantern was something we needed. Inside we fought some Keese, and eventually found a door. "Guess you were right, he is here" I told Zereth.

"Maybe not." He replied, "could be someone else." After that he put his sword away and pulled out a dagger, after that he put the light out of the lantern and opened the door. Inside we saw two men robbing the place with someone or something struggling in a bag. Zereth pointed to my bow and then the guy on the left, when he finished he started heading to the guy on the right while staying hidden in the shadows. I shot the guy, and Zereth, instead of killing the other guy, knocked him out.

"Why just knock him out?"

"So we can question him, now tie him up, I will let the guy out of the bag." He then threw me rope and headed over to the bag. After I finished tying the guy up I walked over to Zereth as soon as he undid the knot. The guy that came out seemed really different than anyone I had ever seen. He was short and had feathers on his neck and arms, maybe more, but the legs and torso were covered up, but didn't have wings.

"Zereth?" the guy said as he looked up, "Zereth!" he jumped up and put his hands on Zereth's shoulders and bowed his head, oddly Zereth mimicked his movements and the top of their heads touched.

"Hello there Zeecko." Zereth said, and then turned to me and introduced me, "This is my older brother Link."

"Hello sir Link." He said and started the same thing as he did with Zereth. I didn't know what to do so I decided to go along with it. Then he started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Zereth and I asked at the same time.

"It's just that I am surprised that your brother has more manners than you do." He laughed.

"How is that?" I asked

"When I did that with you the first time you didn't take out a knife." He replied.

"Enough of this, Zeecko, we need your help." Zereth said.

"Well you just saved my life, so anything." Zeecko laughed

"We need to get on the cloud above Death Mountain as soon as we kill the dragon that has appeared." Zereth replied, and as soon as e said that Zeecko's expression turned serious.

"You know I am in exile." He replied, "What do you need to go up there for anyways?"

"We need Shadow's Journal. The guy you attacked. If we don't get it then Hyrule, no the world will be in danger." Zereth replied.

"So my prediction was right. He is destroying the world with the Hellsforce. Fine, I will help. Just don't expect much when you get there." He replied. So now we can get there, but a dragon is still in the way.

So there you have it, and there was more action here, so be happy. Oh and have I mentioned how much I LOVE reviews? I will hope to get the next chapter out in a week or two, but no promises. Does anyone read this anyways (this = bold and/or story). Oh well, hope you like the story.
