[Link closed his eyes as the Hero's Shade hummed the song and he started playing it on his ocarina. He smiled proudly as he learned the song, and waited anxiously for the Shade to talk again. "You learned well, my child. Now that you've acquired the Song of Time, I will explain what you must do next. The era the sword travelled to now co-exists 2,000 years in the past. Your second descendant is the casualty you have to stop the enemy from going after. We both know what is at stake. Link... I'll see you soon..." Once the two crossed swords, Link was sent back into the real world.
The first thing he did as he awoke, he jumped on top of Epona and galloped back to his home preparing for tomorrow, and what lied ahead of him...]
Skyward Sword Link~
"Rise and shine Link!"
Zelda yells at the top of her lungs directly in Link's right ear.
Link jumps up like he had just been smacked with a whip, half tempted to pull his whip out of his adventure pack and smack Zelda. Of course he pushed that thought aside. Considering they have been friends for years and she seemed to always try and find better ways to wake him up each morning.
"Why'd you do that for?" Link asked, as he rubbed his aching head.
"Because you're a sleepyhead," Zelda says jokingly with a sadistic smile.
"Ha-ha... real mature, Zelda. What are you gonna do next? Call me a turd-face?" Link asked sarcastically.
"You wouldn't believe how long I've been looking for you!" Zelda said to Link trying to change the subject.
"No, how long?" Link asked.
"Hours," Zelda answers. "You weren't in your hut this morning and I wanted to make sure you were ok," she added.
Link looks up to see where he was, realizing he was next to the Skyview Temple. He had went for a night walk and apparently fell asleep. The Faron Woods have become a much safer place since Link defeated Ghirahim and Demise eight months ago.
He and Pipit went through the woods and exterminated all the Bokoblin, Octoroks, and Babas. So you could enjoy a nice walk and not have to worry about anything trying to kill or eat you.
Link and Zelda had decided to stay on the surface and shortly after, some other citizens of Skyloft had decided to join them. First Zelda's dad, who's choice to retire as headmaster and appointed Instructor Owlan to the new Headmaster of the Academy, so he could move to the surface with his daughter. Then Pipit and Karane. Cawlin, Strich, and Groose came soon after that. Though it was clear Cawlin only came to get close to Karane, and Pipit realized it to.
Cawlin and Pipit seemed to waste almost every moment of everyday trying to one up each other in a never ending contest over Karane's love. A contest Cawlin seemed to have no chance in winning, but he refused to give up. So many times Link has had to step between those two, to keep them from killing each other. Peatrice, her father peater, Roselle, and her brother Parrow joined them as well. They started building a village with huts. They of course, appointed Zelda's dad mayor.
Strich kept mostly to himself most of the time playing with bugs. Link sometimes used to go bug catching with him sometimes. Until one day when Link accidently stepped on a Faron Grasshopper and Strich got mad and told him not to ever catch bugs with him again.
Groose and Link had become pretty good friends since Link saved the world. Groose didn't try to bully Link anymore, like he used to back at the Knight Academy. Groose respected Link's and Zelda's friendship and was no longer jealous of it. Even though he still was obviously in love with Zelda.
The Kikwi didn't seem to mind their new neighbors. In fact they seemed to welcome them with open arms.
"What were you thinking going out for a walk at night by yourself, Link?" Zelda asked Link. "It's not safe," She insisted.
"What do you mean? I haven't seen anything dangerous in these woods in months," Link demanded.
"Well, I guess that's tru..." Zelda stopped midsentence, trembling eyes turning real big.
"Zelda, you ok?" Link asked.
Zelda slowly raises a trembling hand pointing somewhere behind him. Before Link has a chance to turn around he hears the all too familiar screech. Bokoblin! Link looks behind him and sees about six red Bokoblin all making that awful battle cry, waving their weapons in the air above their heads.
Link drew his sword and shield and sliced the first one, ending him quickly. The second blocks his attack with his sword while a third strikes at him. Which Link manages to block with his shield, knocking him back. Link manages to kick the one that blocked his attack off to the side, then he did a jump attack to the one he staggered with his shield cutting him in half. Link then did a back flip and a vertical slice to cut another's head off. Link then rolled behind another, stabbing his sword through his back and out his chest.
Link pulls his weapon out of his enemy's body, letting him fall to the ground dead. Link looks up and notices one of the Bokoblins pulling a monster horn off his belt. But before he can blow it to call in back up, Link pulls out his whip and grabs the horn out of the creatures hand with it. Link cracks his whip toward his enemy again, this time catching his leg and pulling him to the ground. Link then jumps up and does a fatal blow, sending his blade through his enemy's heart. Link looks up and sees that the last one had grabbed Zelda, holding a blade to her throat. Link pulls out his bow and pulls an arrow out of his quiver and sends an arrow right into the last Bokoblins head.
Zelda gasped as her holder fell to the ground behind her. She falls one her knee's terrified of what just unfolded. Link walks up to Zelda and offers his hand, which Zelda gratefully accepts.
Before either one of them could talk they notice a seventh Bokoblin coming toward them with a tree branch in hand. On the end of that branch was a Deku Hornet's nest. The Bokoblin stares at Link and Zelda for a moment. Link and Zelda both stare back as they knew what it was planning. The Bokoblin swings the branch forward sending the nest toward them. Link thinks fast and pulls out his beetle which catches the nest and sends it right back to the Bokoblin.
The nest breaks apart on it's head sending Hornets all around him, stinging him from every angle. The Bokoblin runs around in a panic slapping at the Hornets to no avail. He ends up running off a cliff and fell to his death.
Link looks out in the distance and notices a big black smoke cloud forming. "Our village!" he yells, grabbing Zelda by the hand.
They both start running toward the village. When they got there the whole camp was on fire. All of Link's friends were still alive but Zelda's father laid on the ground passed-out but still breathing. Cawlin, Strich, and Groose were next to him trying to wake him.
"Father!" Zelda cried dashing for her dad. She started shaking him, but nothing.
Karane stood there crying, looking off in the distance.
"What happened?" Link asked.
"They came out of nowhere carrying torches and ran straight for the huts. We fought off many of them, but it was useless. There were way too many," Groose said.
"Where is Pipit?" Link asked, shacking Karane trying to pull her out her crying fit.
"After they... burnt down... the... village... they," Karane managed to say between sobs, but could not finish.
"They ran off and Pipit chased after them," Groose finished her explanation for her. "They went that way," Groose added pointing toward the Sealed Grounds.
Link automatically took off toward the Sealed Grounds. When he got behind the temple he found Pipit lying face down with a dagger in his back. Link stops in his tracks.'No, it can't be.' Link thought to himself. "It can't be Ghirahim's dagger," he says out loud.
Karane soon showed up as she seemed to have followed Link. "Pipit!" Karane screams, running toward Pipit.
"He's still breathing," she said. "Come on, let's take him back," she demanded.
"I'll help you," Offered Cawlin, who had apparently followed Karane.
Together they pulled Pipit to his feet. Pipit didn't react in any way. So they were literally carrying him. They started heading back toward the camp.
"Go on. I'll catch up," Link insisted. Without saying anything, they listened.
Link entered the temple. As soon as he got inside he went up to where he left the Master Sword but it was no longer there.
"Master," he heard a familiar voice.
Link turned around to see Fi on the ground next to the Gate of Time. But she was supposed to stay dormant in the Master Sword and there she was with the Master Sword no where to be seen!
"Fi...!" He yelled running toward her. He kneeled down beside her and layed her head on his lap.
"What happened?" Link asked, stroking her hair.
"Ghirahim forced me out of the sword and attacked me," Fi's answer makes Link's heart skip a beat and sent chills down his spine.
"But how?" Link asked. " I thought I killed him," Link added.
"Master, he had the Triforce of Power," Fi says in a hushed tone.
"But how? I have all three triforces" Link gets no answer.
"Fi! Don't die on me! You can't die on me!" He demands holding her close.
A tear escapes his eye and lands on her cheek. He Leans down and kisses her on the forehead and her body slowly faded from the world.
Why is Ghirahim doing all this?! If you're that more interested in the story, a sequel will be made by Ghirahim's point of view! Please give us feedback. ^^
