And here is chapter 3 to Disembodied Sword. To The Espada Sisters regarding their Review to the previous chapter, that "one guy" was Headmaster Gaepora, Zelda's father in Skyward Sword. He just somehow knew Blaze was there. Speaking of Blaze, we'll be switching back to her POV for this chapter. This is the pattern it will go in for the entire fic. It'll go Blaze, then Silver, then Blaze again, back to Silver, and so on and so forth. Now, let us begin.

Chapter 3

The One Called Fi

How did he know I was there? Had the bright lights emitted from the sword revealed my position? I guess it really isn't important at the given time. I followed him to what I could only assume was the Knight Academy Link attends. This man must be the headmaster, Zelda's father. I felt Silver's unease from the sword, further unnerving me. In due time, all of us entered this room on the second floor of the academy that I could easily tell was this man's office.

"Well, Ms. Cat, I suppose you're wondering how I knew you were hiding there."

"Honestly, yes. And my name's Blaze."

"I had a feeling that you were there. The loud conversation between you and your boyfriend helped too."

"Wait… BOYFRIEND! Nononononononononono, w-we're just… f-friends," Despite my attempts to deny it, he obviously wasn't buying it, since I was clearly doing a remarkably poor job at hiding my blushing cheeks. Were my feelings for Silver really that obvious?

"Really, I only needed to listen to small bits to detect that little… spark." Almost exactly what I had noted about Link and Zelda. My cheeks became an even brighter shade of red.

"L-look, I know you didn't call me out to discuss my love life." I finally forced out in an attempt to regain my composure.

"Right. Sorry about that." he finally let out. "There is a prophecy that has been passed down through the ages, that tells of a hero chosen by the goddess Hylia, aided by two beings from an alternate world."

I remained silent for a few seconds before finally responding. "You think Silver and I are the ones spoken of in this prophecy?"

He nodded his head in an answer "yes".

"It'll be dark out soon. I think you should stay here for the night."

"I thank you for your hospitality, sir."

As Headmaster Gaepora had said, night had fallen a few minutes later. I was simply standing around in the Knight Academy's lobby, thinking about everything that had happened that day. Is it possible that the Sol Emeralds came here as well? I didn't sense their power anywhere in Skyloft, so if they did come here, they must be below the cloud barrier. And Silver… I felt that it was somehow my fault he's just a spirit in a sword now. Could I have prevented this from happening to him by pulling an Hour of Noon instead of trying to fight Eggman Nega alone? (A/N: Hour of Noon: Fan term; refers to the process of bringing about multiple super transformations at one time. Blaze is wondering if Silver could have retained his body if she had used the power of the Sol Emeralds to create "spatial echoes" of the Chaos Emeralds that would have allowed the hedgehog to become Super Silver.)

Silver and I exchanged our stories while we were just standing around. There really wasn't much too either story before we met each other again, especially in Silver's side, although the sword-like girl had spiked my interest. Who was she? How did she know about Silver's condition?

I watched Headmaster Gaepora walk out of Link's dorm, and return to his office. Well, at least the boy had come to.

"Silver… are you listening to me?"

In response to my question, I watched Silver's spirit leave the sword to appear before me.

"Yeah. Is something wrong, Blaze?"

"Silver… what is to become of us? I think the Sol Emeralds may have been brought here with us… and… your body…" I couldn't finish that last part. It was too painful.

"Blaze… I know we'll find it at some point. My body and the Sol Emeralds have to be somewhere below that cloud barrier you saw. I get the feeling… everything that will determine the fate of this world… is linked to whatever is below those clouds."

"But… Gaepora said that no one knows exactly what is down there. Some believe that there is another world, others think that there's nothing down there. No one has ever been down there. Is there really any hope for you?"

Silver rolled his eyes at my pitying monologue. "You're such a pessimist." (A/N: Those of you who have played Sonic 06 should detect a record breaking amount of foreshadowing in that one line. FREE SPOILER: Virxels will say something similar to Blaze at some point during Keystone Chronicles.)

I was about to comment when I suddenly heard something unusual ring through the night air. This soft melody played on what sounded like a flute quietly drifted along the night air. It served to… ease my concerns about the future. However, I could not help but wonder… where was this song coming from?

I heard a door open nearby, and turned my head to see Link come out of his dorm, and suddenly looked towards the academy's stairway, where all three of us saw this girl floating there. I noted that she looked… a little like a… sword?

"That's the girl I saw in that void." Silver whispered to me. That's her!

I watched Link slowly approach the spirit, but she floated away from him, almost like she wanted him to follow her. Seeing this, the human boy complied, and took off after her. Wanting answers, and followed him, Silver returning to the blade as soon as I took off.

The mysterious spirit led me and Link out a door on the second floor of the school, and continued to lead Link into this off road area. I, on the other hand, stopped there, recognizing the area as the end of that wooden track I took to get around Link and Zelda when I first woke up. With this mind, I deduced where this girl was leading us; the statue.

Using my natural acrobatic abilities, I leaped over a gate that had blocked Link from the statue, and waited in front of the statue for the two of them to arrive. To my luck, I didn't need to wait for very long, as the elf-eared boy and the sword maiden arrived at the area about fifty seconds later. The strange girl levitated to the front of the statue, and to my surprise, revealed this secret corridor that lead to a chamber inside the statue. Still knowing that this girl wanted him to follow her, Link gave a sideways glance at me before heading inside the chamber, with me following behind him.

The hidden chamber was a sight to behold. In the middle of the room was this elegant looking sword embedded in this stone slab. At the far end of the room was a strange mark hovering a few inches above the ground.

Link could only stare at the room in amazement. At that moment, a bright light shone directly above the blade, and the three of us (Silver had emerged from my blade by now) looked up to see the girl we have been following in the center of it, surprising visible within the light.

"I have been waiting for you, chosen hero of the Goddess." The girl addressed Link. "Same to you, beings from another world." Here, she was obviously addressing me and Silver.

"I understand that it is a part of both your customs to introduce yourself to others. Fi is the name I was given."

"My name is… Link," the chosen hero introduced himself to Fi, following her example.

"I am Blaze… and my friend here is named Silver."

"Link… Blaze… Silver… the heroes spoken of in ancient texts. The time has come for the three of you to claim the roles the Goddess has assigned to you."

Link seemed a little confused by Fi's instructions, but didn't say anything.

"I was created by the Goddess to aid her chosen hero on his quest to cleanse the land below of evil." So there is something down there.

"Link… remove the sword before you from its pedestal, and point it towards the sky to claim your place in the legend laid out before us."

I wondered where Fi was going with this. Link obviously wasn't thinking about it much. I watched him briskly walk up to the pedestal, and follow the spirit's directions. As he held the blade to the sky, it was suddenly endowed with this heavenly energy, and then glowed with this beautiful light, illuminating the entire room.

"Master Registration: Complete. I shall aid in any way I can, Master Link."

I suddenly heard footsteps from behind, and I turned to see Gaepora slowly heading down the stairway to the room we were in. Link heard him as well, and turned around to make eye contact with his headmaster. He confessed that he had known about the room the entire time, and after outlining a legend he had read (accompanied with some corrections from Fi), Link was given a part of a stone tablet with an emerald piece embedded in a spot on it. Continuing to follow the spiritual AI's instructions, Link attacked the crest at the back of the room with this "Skyward Strike", and energized it, revealing an indenture where the hero inserted the stone tablet. The statue suddenly shook, and I felt a strange energy leap from the statue's hands into a spot on the cloud barrier that paralleled the position of the emerald on the tablet.

"An opening has appeared in the cloud barrier. Access to the Surface is now possible."

"Which means I can begin my search for Zelda." Link observed. "And Blaze… I think… you will be able to find something I know you will be searching for." I turned my head away from him to try and hide my face.

"However… it is still night time." Gaepora stated. "It is too dangerous for either of you to go out and begin your journey just yet. Besides, Link, you aren't properly clothed for such a long journey."

I had to agree with him. Those shabby academy clothes aren't exactly hero-material. Although, it's not like I'm one to talk, considering most males in my world can get by wearing nothing but shoes and gloves.

"Your knight outfit should be ready by now. We should all go back to the academy and prepare for the adventure. I hope you three like the color I chose for this year."

So… what do you think? This felt like a good time to end the chapter, so I did. Oh, and the term "Hour of Noon" is open to be used by anyone, so long as you remember what I said it refers to. Now, review or I'll delete this. I AM NOT BLUFFING! Okay, yes I am, but just review, please.
