Stuck in the world of skyloft
Training and Flying
Leah was standing outside the sparring hall doors holding her new weapon named "project w", but because it was design like a wii remote she just called it "a wii remote (with a fancy name)". However project w was not just a wii remote but something to help Leah in the upcoming journey.
-Flashback-
"It's NOT A WII REMOTE!" the professor screamed. It had only been a few minutes since Project w arrived however Leah and the professor were arguing over the name.
"Listen I can't keep this streaming on any longer, so place this 3ds somewhere I can show you how to use the remote or learn how to use it on your own" the professor said trying to calm down his temper.
Leah placed the 3ds down and strapped the remote on her wrist "Okay I'm ready" she said showing him remote in his hand.
"Great take a hold of the stick, then when you're ready swing the stick like a sword and say 'sword'"
"Nothing won't happen it' jus-"
"JUST DO IT!" The professor ordered
"OKAY CARM DOWN" Leah then took a step back and her eyes focused on the remote. She took a deep breath in and swung the remote "Sword!" In a blink the remote transformed into sword but the handle was still left as a wii remote, Leah looked at the blade in shock but also realised it was not the master sword or the goddess sword just a wooden sword.
"As you can clearly see, the remote has turned into a sword" he said proudly. "Judging by your face you don't seem to impressed"
"It's a sword, but not the master sword" Leah said pointing at the sword in her hand.
"Ah yes, about that," he cleared his throat. "Project w is designed to copy the weapons that the main character collects. meaning at the moment link only has the a 'training sword' so that means you have a training sword" he explained
"What weapons can be copied?" she asked
"Every weapon except bombs, You need to collect bombs using a bomb bag"
"Oh anything else I should know?"
"Project w also has z targeting you can use that during combat" he paused for a second
"So it a wii remote"
"IT NOTS A WII REMOTE!" The professor screamed
-End of flash back-
Leah was still stood by the door holding the wii remote in her hand thinking about the adventure that lies ahead. "I have to calm myself down" She thought. Leah swung the remote "Sword" once again the remote turned into a wooden training sword, "Well don't wont to freak anyone out with a stick that's turns into a sword". Leah took a deep breath and opened the door. As she walked into the sparring hall she seen all the students for the knight academy gathered around an older knight who was talking.
As the door slammed shut everyone turned facing Leah. Leah felt a little embarrassed everyone when was stirring at her, she looked to the end of the row of students she seen Link, pipit and karena.
"Oh hello there" The older knight said coming closer to the young teen "you must be Leah, If I'm not mistaken you be the new student here at the knight academy. Nice to meet ya, my name is Eagus, I be teaching you how to use a sword" He smiled at her and put out his hand to shake.
Leah took his hand and smiled "Nice to meet you".
"I hope you enjoy my classes" He smiled
"Yeah I hope so as well… but there a problem I need to warn you about."
"Oh? And what would that be?" He asked
"Well…erm … you see where I come from we don't use sword" She nervously laughed. After the class heard about how she didn't know how to use a sword the students started to whisper
"See I told you, she not a skyloftian"
"Apparently she was found falling from the sky"
"No way, apparently groose thinks she up to something and I think he right"
"SHE JUST A NORMAL GIRL!" Link shouted everyone faced him "Yes she fell from the sky but that dosnt make her any different from us"
"Now, now students just because she new doesn't mean you should judge a book by its cover" He turned to the class "Link is right just because how she got here dosnt make her any different okay!"
"Yes sir" The class said
"Right, I want you to pick a partner and start training" He turned to link "Link can you show Leah the basics of using a sword"
"Yes sir"
He turned to face Leah "I'm sorry about my class." He apologised "Gaepora has informed me about your problem so if you have any problems please let me or Gaepora know" He smiled
"Thank you" She smiled back
Link walked over to her "ready?" he held out a sword for her "I promise to go easy on you" He laughed
"Thanks link but I already got a sword" she showed him her sword.
"Nice but I didn't see you with a sword before" He was a bit confused on where she got it.
"OH it a long story" She nervously laughed "I tell you a little bit later okay" She smiled
"Yeah okay then" He smiled "Right you hold you sword like this-"
Two hours later link, Leah, pipit and karean had finished their lesson.
"Leah you're quite a fast learner" Link said to her as they were walking
"Must be a little bit of luck" she laughed "or the fact my sword helps me" She thought
"Hey everyone" Zelda ran up to link and Leah "So? How did she do?" Zelda had been wondering how Leah had been okay learning how to use a sword for the first time.
"She a bit of a fast learner" He patted her on the back
"Like I just said must have been luck on the first day" Leah nervously laughed.
"Well I'm glad to see you fine with your first day" She smiled
"Hey guys, that lesson have made me a bit hungry wanna head over to the lumpy pumpkin? She asked
"Yeah sounds fun" Link said
"Erm I can't fly" Leah said
"Oh that okay link will take you with his loftwing" Zelda smiled
"And I'm terrified of heights" She laughed
"Wow you're really not from this world are you" Pipit laughed
"well we have to get rid of your fear wont we" Zelda smiled
"I don't like were this is going Zelda" Link said
"Trust me you thank me in the future" Said Zelda "Come on let head up to the goddess staute"
Everyone followed Zelda up to the goddess statue; everyone was worried what Zelda was going to do to get rid of Leah fear of heights.
They finally got the goddess statue and walked over to the wooden edge that was behind the statue.
"Right! Karane, pipit you guys go first and wait for us" Said zelda
"Erm okay" said Karane a little confused. Karane and pipit ran towards the ledge and jumped off, Leah gasped when the jumped off then she faintly heard two different whistles then everything went silent. Then two Loftwings swooped up with Karane on one and Pipit on the other. Leah gave a sigh of relive for the two skyloftians.
"How silly of me to forget….. Skyloftians have loftwings" She thought to herself, remembering that even if you fell off the island without calling your loftwing you still going to be saved by a knight. After telling herself this she felt a little more confident with her heights in skyloft.
"Okay Link your turn when Leah jumps I want you to catch her" She said with a smile on her face. "Leah after Link jumps I want you to jump" After hearing Zelda telling her to jump off after link her fears came back
"Zelda are you crazy!" Leah shouted
"Nope, Just trying to help you" She smiled "Trust me"
Leah suddenly realised Zelda was trying to help her (even though her plan was crazy) but after hearing "trust me" she knew Zelda would never put her in harm way. She had only know Zelda for 3 days but Zelda had been taking care of her and worrying for her even though most of the students from the school seen her as the "Outsider". Zelda was really caring and fought full (Yet had crazy ideas) witch made Leah made feel guilty for what was going to happen to her on the day of the wing ceremony.
At that moment Link ran off the edge and called his loftwing, just like when Karane and pipit jumped off the edge a moment of silence crossed and then he appeared on the beautiful crimson loftwing.
"Okay now your turn" Zelda gave her a light push to make her start running. Leah running pace was slow at first but became faster and faster and she came closer to the edge.
"Okay I can do this!" she shouted to herself she was now running on the wooden edge "I CAN DO THIS!" She screamed. She was just a few more steps by the edge and she could see the whole sky and she looked down and – "NO I CARNT DO THIS!" she suddenly stops herself she was so close to the edge. Then Leah heard footsteps running behind her.
"Well lucky I made a plan B" Zelda ran up to her and pushed her off the edge.
Leah Fell off the edge "ZELDA YOU BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT!" she screamed at her while she fell. As Leah was falling she closed her eyes and was ready to die any second until she felt the same strong arms catching her again the same arms holding her close with a tight grip never letting her fall again. She opened her eyes and looked up at her rescuer; it was once again the same boy "Link" she blushed a little saying his name
"You okay Leah?" he asked her
"Yeah I'm fine" She said with a bit of shaky tone in hear voice
"By the goddess what was she thinking?" He asked himself
"HEY IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT!" Called Zelda falling on her blue loftwing
"ZELDA WHY DID YOU PUSH HER OFF" He asked her
"It must be her habit" said pipit "She done it to everyone haha" He laughed
"Come on guys lets go to the lumpy pumkin I'm starving!" said Karane
They all started falling east from the Skyloft. Leah sat herself up on the loftwing but was a little shaken for the fall, link kept one arm around her keeping her safe. Leah started to blush more felling the strong arm keeping her close to him.
"Hey link" she turned her head a little to face him "I want to say thank you for saving me again" she smiled trying to hold back the blushing
"Happy to be saving you" he smiled back.
"I knew it was you that saved me again" she paused
"Oh, why that?" he asked her
"I remember the first day I fell and you catching me" she looked forward hiding her red face
Link didn't say anything for a moment "a least you didn't pass out this time" He laughed
She started laughing with him while they were getting closer to the lumpy pumkin.
Moments later they all arrived at the lumpy pumpkin which was a giant restaurant shaped like a pumpkin.
"Well I see why it called the lumpy Pumpkin" She said as link helps her off his loftwing.
"The food here is amazing, we better hurry in Karane not the happiest person to be around when she hungry" He laughed
"haha I'm not the happiest person to be around when I get up in the morning" She laughed
"Haha can't blame you" He opened the door and let Leah go in first, she walked into an open room full of tables, at the back of the room was a bar with a man working at the stove. She looked up to see a grand chandelier containing a couple of rupees and a heart container.
"Leah, Link was up here" Zelda was calling them from the top of the stairs that was next to the door.
They made the way up the stairs, when they reach the top of the stairs they seen karane, pipit and Zelda were sitting in the corner table. Karane was already looking through the menu and pipit was talking to Zelda. Link and Leah sat down and picked up the menu.
"Pumpkin soup, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin cake, Pumpkin salad…. And there another reason this is called 'the lumpy Pumpkin'. How am I going to cope in this world if all they eat is pumpkin" She sighed "I thought I never say this but I'm already missing McDonalds'"
"Everything all right leah?" Zelda asked putting her menu down
"Yeah it just… where I come from we don't eat pumpkin" when she looked up to everyone they were all staring back at her in confusion. "Oh but I heard pumpkin soup is lovely so I'm willing to try" she smiled at everyone.
Later on everyone was eating what they ordered.
"Oh you're not going to believe what!" Zelda said with happily "I been picked to play the role of the goddess at the wing ceremony" all she did was smile
"Wow well done zel" karane said "It only feels like yesterday when I played the role of the goddess" She paused for a moment to think back when she did the role of the goddess.
"Yeah I won that year" Pipit said "you did really well playing the role of the goddess" He smiled at karane. She blushed lightly also remembering doing the ceremony with pipit.
"It was easy really…." Turning her head away from pipit "All you do is sing then present them with a sailcloth and the end" she finished.
"Well this year I'm singing and using an instrument" she smiled "…. Don't ask what it is I want it to be a surprise"
Link smiled then went into a moment of thought "Only 4 days away" was all link said
"…And in those 4 days you better be practicing" she nagged
Link sighed and put his head on the table everyone laughed
"She is right link" Leah cut in "In those 4 days they will pass so quickly"
Link didn't say anything, Zelda got a little frustrated and stood up from the table "its getting late and I need to practice for the ceremony" she stared to walk away
"Zel wait" Link grab her hand before she ran off "I will practice in these 4 days okay"
Zelda grinned a little "I know you will but can you make a promise to me" she asked. "On the day of the ceremony meet me by the goddess statue to a least get some more practice in?"
Link lightly sighed and nodded. "Thank you link" she smiled " I see you guys later" She waved to everyone and walked out the restaurant.
Half an hour later link, leah, karane and pipit left. Leah was with link on his loftwing, they didn't talk much on their way home. Leah slightly turned her head to talk to him "Thinking about the promise you made with Zelda?"
"No not much" He replied
"Hey…. Why don't I make a promise to you?" Leah smiled "If you practice hard for the wing ceremony I promise to train hard on learning how to use a sword"
Link thought for a second "well you are a fast learner" he said scratching his head "sure… if you practice hard I will as well" he smiled
"Hopefully this week will pass quickly" Leah thought to herself.
And the week did pass very quickly and Link and Leah kept their promises. Link practiced flying on his loftwing and Leah was becoming a stronger swordswoman (With the help of project w). As the week pasted Leah became close to Link and Zelda, mostly Zelda one night they made friendship bracelets. Zelda made a blue and purple bracelet and Leah made her a Pink and blue bracelet. Some of the students said they were like two lost sisters.
It was the last night until the ceremony; Leah was getting dressed in her night gown in the knight academy wash room after having a nice hot bath. After getting dressed she walked out and headed towards the main door that leads to the goddess statue to cool herself off. When she opened the door she found link sitting on the bridge looking down on the town below, He looked like he had a lot on his mind.
"Lovely night tonight isn't it" Link jumped and turned to face Leah, She started to laugh a little.
"You scared the life out of me" he said while Leah walked up to him and sat down next to him.
"Worried about tomorrow" She asked looking at the town.
"no… what made you ask?"
"I remembered the night when I came out here and we were talking you told me you come out here when you have things on your mind" He smiled remembering that night when Leah had just came to skyloft and she locked herself in her room for the whole day until she came out on the bridge to clear her mind but ended up crying on links shoulder for about an hour.
"Only feels like yesterday when you arrived here" He said
"Only one week ago… I told you this week would pass quickly" she nudged his shoulder playfully, he grinned a little. "What's wrong then?"
"I don't know" He said looking out into the distance "I feel like after tomorrow my life going to change a lot" Leah looked down a little
"If only you knew what is going to happen tomorrow" Leah tried to keep her mind off what's going to happen there were times in the week she wanted to warn Link or Zelda what was going to happen but she couldn't bring herself to tell them. She shacked the thought off her mind and looked up to smile at link "As my granddad always told me 'be ready for the worst and the good thing in life'"
"You granddad sounds like a wise man" Link smiled.
"He was…" Link looked at her
"Leah I'm sorry"
"It fine it was years ago" She smiled at him "That the only memory I have of him it nice to bring back so of the times…. So thanks for making me remember "Link smiled lightly.
They did anything say anything for a few moments they just looked out to the sky. Link suddenly stood up
"I better get going to bed early start tomorrow" He stretched out his arms. "Are going to bed?" He asked
"Nar I stay out here for a bit longer" She smiled looking up at him.
"Oh alright then" He hugged Leah and started to walk away "Night"
"Link wait!" She called out he turned to face her; "I have high hopes you're going to win" She smiled. He smiled back.
"Thanks Leah, Good night" he went inside. Soon as the door shut Leah smile faded
"Tomorrow your life will change, you just don't know how much lies ahead for you" Leah felt a tear role down her cheek "I'm sorry" She burst into tears.
Leah sat there trying to fight back her tears but she felt so guilty for not saying anything but she knew no one could believe her.
Leah: XcookiebabeX! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!
