The sun blinded me as I walked out into the open, the crisp air sending a chill down my spine. I lifted my arm to shield me from the light bursting from the hot ball of gas millions of miles away from us, though still somehow managing to burn my eyes. I let out a low growl as my ears pinned again, my tail lashing in frustration.

"Not a fan of the sun, huh?" A voice asked from behind, and when I turned, I saw the boy in green step up behind me, his arms held out as if to hug me, but when I took a step back, it was as it something clicked, and he nodded slightly. "Right…" He mumbled, dropping his arms. "Well, what questions do you have?" He asked as he started walking towards a cave.

I shot the boy a skeptical look as he walked off, reluctantly following him. He walked to the back opening of the cavern where a small area of land jutted out, and plopped himself down on the edge, his legs dangling off of the area. I sat down next to him, keeping my distance and crossed my legs Indian style.

"So?" He asked after a few moments of silence, looking down to the water below.

I clutched my outer leg with both of my hands, my tail swaying over the side of the cliff. "What is your goal?"

Link thought about it for a while. "To defeat Zant."

"Is that what you want?" I looked at the side of his face.

He paused his swinging. "I don't have a choice."

"Bullshit," I growled, baring my teeth slightly. "Everyone has a choice."

The boy finally looked at me, his blue eyes stunning. He kept the eye contact for a while until he chuckled lightly, a small smile gracing his features. "You used to say that all the time." He muttered as he stood up and fixed his tunic, then dusted himself off. "Let's go."

My eyebrows knit. "Where to?" I stood up as well, keeping my eye on the boy.

"I have to go to a city in the sky, and you have to come with me." He looked down at me with that unreadable look he normally had.

I narrowed my eyes, though when the boy left the cavern, I followed not too far behind. I continued asking him questions and he would answer them with complete honesty, even if it was somewhat painful for him. He led me to a large Clydesdale horse and a completely black Shire except for his mane and tail which were white, and told me that he was mine. My eyes widened at the thought of me riding it. "I used to ride that?" I asked as I looked at him.

The other nodded. "You loved him. Called him some strange name that started with an S. Like… Soul-sitter, or something."

"Sólsetur?" I asked, looking back to the horse. The horse gently pushed my shoulder with his nose, but other than that he was completely still. "I don't remember him." I rubbed his forehead, looking at the horse in wonder.

"I would've figured," the boy chuckled light heartedly. "Do you still wanna ride him?" He asked as he pulled himself up onto his horse.

Wrinkling my nose, I shook my head. "I have no use for him anymore now that I have these." I expended my wings slightly, making sure to not spook either of the two very large horses. The male nodded his head solemnly, giving the black horse a sad glance. He muttered something under his breath and clicked his tongue, his horse going off in a trot before turning into a gallop, with me launching myself up into the air flying above them.

We passed over bridges that led to no where and wide fields before we reached our destination, a staircase that led to a rainbow coloured door. I noticed the boy looked into his wallet, and my eyebrows knit. "What are you doing?"

"Making sure I have enough rupees to pay the man. Why?" He looked back at me.

Rolling my eyes, I latched my arms around his waist and launched both of us into the air, receiving a yelp from the boy as his hands flew to my arms.

"Stop moving so much; I will not drop you." I growled in his ear, squeezing him lightly as a warning. We flew right over the water and when he gave me the area we needed to go to, I extended my wings and we landed safely on the soft, lush, green grass, in front of an old-looking machine with legs.

"Okay, my turn," he breathed as he wrapped an arm around my waist after I released him, then pulled out a strange, mechanical arm with claws at the end, and shot it onto a target, lifting us into the machine. Crowded didn't even begin to describe how uncomfortable it was with my wings digging into my back, my body squished slightly against his.

I felt the machine rumble and groan beneath us, coming to life somehow. It lifted itself up, gave it a little shake, then aimed and fired us into the sky, past the clouds and right into a small pool of water. Link dove right into the liquid, while I managed to extend my wings in time so I didn't get myself wet. A dragon being wet is just about as useful as teaching English to a rock, anyway.

He looked up at me with an aggravated look, as if he expected me to hold onto him so this wouldn't happen. I just smirked back at him, raising an eyebrow like I was wondering when he was going to get out, and as he swam to the edge, a strong blast of wind made him fall back into the water and sent me against the wall, pressing me up against it.

"What was that?" Link sputtered as he crawled back out of the water, taking off his cap and wringing it out. Strapping on his metallic boots, he motioned for me to follow him, pointing to the main door. I wrapped my arms under his body and lifted him with a grunt, right over to the door, lifting it up after setting him down.

The whole ride over was tiring and boring, and I had to chase down the dragon a few times, only to be shot down by it, almost burning up in the atmosphere until I'd catch myself and spring back to the City. Link would always check if I was okay, which confused me, but after the second time I grew used to it.

"It appears that I am not powerful enough to defeat it in this form." I looked at him and he had a sort of defeated look on his face, which made me ask him if anything was wrong.

"Um… No, no, everything… Everything is fine. Or, will be." He scratched his neck and walked on, out to a crumbling platform where I had to lift him to the roof, a grassy, circular area with four large pillars that he could latch onto if need be.

"What's with this area?" I questioned, looking around until my ears turned back, hearing a soft roar.

Link took that as a cue. "Noel, listen to me." I turned my attention to him at the call of my name. "You're going to have to do this yourself. You told me that you have to change into a full dragon and take him on by yourself, or so the Goddesses say."

I looked at him with a bewildered expression, not completely understanding, but enough to know that this was my battle. Nodding, I turned my back to him and started to walk towards the middle of the platform, feeling my arms and legs grow with every step, all until my arms were so heavy it forced me to walk on all fours. My wings felt like they were put in a taffy puller, stretching out to be at least four meters long, as well as my face, which pulled out to a longer muzzle. My waist stretched and became thicker, big enough to support the rest of my body, and with that, my tail stretched out further to keep my balance, as well as my horns.

I gave myself a small shake once I was done, and heard the roar again, but this time it was right behind me. Whirling around, I threw myself at the armored dragon, tackling him off of the platform, scratching, biting, tearing, kicking, anything I could do to get this armor off.

Once I did, I found the gem embedded within his chest and started to attack that, finally getting the blasted thing off, killing him. It took a while, but I did it. Flying back up to the platform, I basically collapsed onto my side, turning back to my more human form. Everything was just too painful at the moment, and I just wanted a rest. Thankfully Link gave me the Heart Container and that healed my exterior wounds and whatever broken limbs I had from the fight, but not my fatigue.

I heard some female voice congratulate us on getting the last shard of mirror, then go on about how Zant could only break the mirror and not shatter it, therefore making him a faux leader of the Twilight Realm. She then told him to hurry up, and I felt myself lift off of the ground and into his arms, even though he struggled slightly with my wings and other non-human limbs. Carrying me carefully, he got into a canon and fired back into the stable ground, making sure to not crush me at the landing, and it was surprisingly soft.

I could only assume he brought me back to the village because the scent of dirt and what stables would commonly smell like came to my senses. Voices sounded concerned and grew louder quickly, so the villagers must have been worried about the both of us, or most likely, him. Not that I could blame him, considering all he's seemed to have done. He replied to all of them with "I have to make sure she's ok" and started walking again, climbing a lot of stairs until he finally set me down on wet land, the warm waters of what was probably a hot spring seeping into my skin and clothes.

The heat and sudden feel of it forced me to open my eyes, taking a deep breath as if I had been sleeping for a while. Looking around, I noticed he was already on his way back down the stairs, and I felt a strange feeling pull within my chest. "Link." My voice was barely audible so I doubt he could have heard me, and yet he turned to look right at me, walking towards me with a tired smile. Sitting down next to me, he raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me… About what I was like."

His expression turned to one of slight shock, but he merely smiled again and rested his elbow on his knee, and his chin on his palm. "It's gonna take a while, you know."

"I'm healing a lot of wounds so I assume we have enough time."

I apologize for taking SO long to update. For a while this site wouldn't let me do anything once I logged on, so I spent most of my time editing past stories. But on the bright side, I'm now a college student! I'm taking a semester off though, because of how much stress this past year gave me, so I'll be able to update this more, hopefully.

I'm just confused as to why I've still been getting followers if I haven't updated in so long. But I'm screAMING BECAUSE I JUST LOOKED AND THE LAST TIME I UPDATED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO I'M SO SORRY
