I hoped you all enjoyed my French phrases, and for those asking, I have been studying French since August. Alors, est-ce que vous aimez mon histoire?
That means do you like my story? Oui? Non? Ce n'est pas mauvais? J'aime manger la pizza?
Yeah. Well I am now on a writing spree! WOOOOO! So uhhh… Allons-y!
I own nothing!
When we were thirteen
LINKS POV
Moving into the Knight Academy was a milestone in my life. To be honest, I really did like living with Fledge and his family. They were really nice and welcoming, but this was the first step into becoming an adult. You could say I was very excited. Studying for being a Knight couldn't come quick enough for me.
What a day that was…
"Fledge," his mother called. "Do you and Link need help carrying things to the Academy?"
"Yes, mom," he replied. All I had were my clothes and a few family pictures and items. My mom's favorite apron…My dad's Knight badge…Some pictures….
"Yes, help would be nice," I said to her.
"Here are two trunks to pack things in," she gave us some trunks.
You might be thinking "They can always go back and get things, right?"
Nope. Once you moved out as a Knight, you were considered a young adult. It would be highly bizarre for one to go back and get new clothes and have mother wash some. Visiting? Of course! But moving out meant moving out.
Fledge's mother helped us both pack.
"Oh my! I can't believe how much you two have grown up. Knights!" she started. "Too fast if you ask me. Link, it has been a blessing having you here with us, and you and Fledge can come by anytime necessary."
"Thank you for taking me in," I told her sincerely. She smiled.
We moved our things into the Academy. I began to unpack my items when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," I told whoever it was.
"LINK!" exclaimed the one and only Zelda.
"OH MY GODDESSES! We are almost like Knights! Too exciting! I can't wait for the ceremony this afternoon! It will be-"
I had to interrupt her, "Whoa! Someone is very excited!"
She nodded.
"Well, Zelda, wanna help me unpack?" I asked.
She sighed sarcastically. "I guess."
We were moving things and unpacking, sharing laughter. Having a best friend was great.
Zelda did find my parents' old music player.
"Oh, Link," she exclaimed. "Does it work?"
I took it from her. "Let's see."
I turned a few knobs and heard soft harp music being played.
"Link, this is so pretty! I love this music and what are you doing?" she asked as I moved closer.
"Dance with me," I told her.
"Really?" she asked. Was that a blush I may have seen?
"Really," I assured her. I took her left hand with my right. She put her right hand on my left shoulder, and I put my left hand on her right side. We moved around very slowly. It was simple and sweet.
"Link," she started.
"Yeah?"
"You're quite the romantic," she said sarcastically and giggling.
"What? Do you think I am not romantic?" I asked, still dancing with her.
"You are cheesy," she said laughing.
"I can be romantic," I told her.
"Prove it," she dared.
I smiled and put my mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Not now," and danced her into the hallway. Then I let go and went back to my room.
A few hours later I went to the ceremony. It was the Inauguration of New Knights or INK.
Hehehe…. Link and INK rhyme.
Anyways, it is where the new Knights were brought in front of the town at the Plaza. We were read a list of duties and had to swear to abide. Then, we had to circle Skyloft in a flight on our Loftwings.
"Hey, Link," called my enemy, Groose. His wannabes were with him.
"Do you need something?" I asked him.
"Listen, you will stay away from Zelda," he told me.
"Oh? And if I don't?" I mocked.
"You'll pay."
"Oooh! I'm so scared," I laughed and began to walk away.
"Yeah, you might wanna call your mom! Oh wait, she is dead!" he called after me. I heard laughter.
He struck a nerve.
Crossed a line.
Touched a dark subject of mine.
I turned right back around and marched to him.
"You know what?" I started. But Zelda interfered.
"Hey! Both of you knock it off," she scolded. "This is a big day for all of us, and it shouldn't be ruined!"
"Oh, Zelda. Uh," started Groose. "I was just kidding with little ol' Link. We are like amazing friends."
"Amazing friends?" she asked.
"Totally," he nervously laughed.
"Will all of the new Knights come to the front?" called the announcer.
We went up there. The ceremony took a while. I understand. Skyloft is so proud. Bright young people. Many duties to be carried out. Blah blah blah. It's the same every year. Oh, here comes the swearing.
"Raise your right hand and recite your swears you learned."
We all started.
"I, Link, swear to follow all of the rules of Knighthood. This includes: respecting elders, help when I see help and am asked, benefit the society, keep the people safe, create a warm atmosphere, volunteer wherever and whenever I can, and fulfill all of the responsibilities of being a Knight to Skyloft."
"You all may take your lap," the announcer told us.
I took Zelda's hand and we ran off the side with everyone else. I let go and called for my Loftwing. Then, I flew around the perimeter around the island. Everyone was cheering when we landed back at the Plaza.
"This concludes the end of the ceremony. Thank you and good night!" The announcer concluded.
I saw Zelda walking back to the Academy and caught up with her.
"Running off the side holding hands? Was that your idea of romantic?" she said in a nice sarcastic voice.
"No, but this is," and with that I kissed her.
