Chapter 2: Accident That Leads to a Journey
A.N. if some of the chapters are short I'll be working on some chapters for you guys, but for now please enjoy this chapter and please review.
It took the pair a few minutes to get to the she got there everyone was waiting for her."Sorry, I was at Kato`s house to pass the time, but I didn't mean it to skip the ceremony." Pan said embarrassed.
"It's quite alright Pan, you're just in time, that's all." Headmaster Citra said. "But you have to get with the other flyers, the race is going to start any minute" he said. Pan nodded as she and Stormbreaker got to their positions.
"Alright everybody let me explain the rules, you and your loftwing have to team up and go after this wooden loftwing decoration and take it from this loftwing I tied it to." instructor Howell said as he pointed to the yellow loftwing."Whoever gets it will go up a higher level, but for Pan, she gets to be a student at the Knight Academy." he said as Pan was smiling away until a familiar voice just had to ruin her day.
"You think you're going to become a knight, but guess what, I'm going to win." it said.
"Ugh, what do you want Bethany?" Pan asked annoyed more than ever.
"Oh nothing, except crush you like a bug." she replied while Pan noticed that Bethany was wearing a purple dress, knight loftwing gear. Pan mischievously came up with an idea instructor Howell, it seems that Bethany isn't wearing the right for the race." Pan said as the instructor came over and looked at Bethany`s clothes.
"I'm sorry to say this Bethany, but you can't compete in those clothes, so you are to forfeit." he said.
"What! That isn't fair, curse you Pan!" she yelled as she ran off. Pan smirked as Howell shook his head.
"Let's get this over with."he said. "Flyers to your starting point!" Citra said as they all got to the starting point.
"Flyers on your mark... get set...GO!" the starter yelled as everyone including Pan ran off the deck and called their birds. Pan whistled for her loftwing as it was replied with Stormbreaker's screech and caught Pan on the giant birds back. They flew as fast as they could to catch up, but it didn't take long for them to catch up.
"Let's show them that we'll be the victors!" Pan shouted while Stormbreaker screeched as they soared past all the other flyers, but they noticed that the other racers slowed down their loftwings, it was odd because... Why would the other racers slow down and turn back to skyloft? Then she saw something that answered her question, they were headed for a giant thunder head cloud.
"I have a bad feeling about this Stormbreaker." Pan said as they entered. Once they entered they could not find the yellow loftwing.
" This place gives me the creeps, let`s head back." Pan sugested as she looked for an exit.
" But... which way is back?" she asked herself. They flew around for a bit, but they knew they were being watched, when something black and metallic whooshed past them.
"Whoosh!" it said as it soared behind them.
" What was that?" Pan said." whoosh!" it went infront of them.
"What`s going on?!" Pan cried. Then the mysterious thing hit Pan from behind and sent her falling! She screamed as she fell while her loftwing was blown away.
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
A few hours later Stormbreaker woke up and found Pan nowhere to be seen so she flew around in search of Pan. The loftwing searched everywhere until she found Pan on an island laying on the ground with no sign of being alive. Stormbreaker flew down, landing her partners body nudging it, but the loftwing knew her friend was dead.
Stormbreaker layed down next to Pan and put a wing over her, layed there for not moving an inch, but in the distance from them, were three large figures watching them. A few moments later as Stormbreaker was still laying with dead Pan, the three figures arouse from below.
Stormbreaker looked up and saw the three figures were dragons, one was blue, another was red, and the third was yellow.
"Hello Stormbreaker, don't be alarmed we are here to help, I am Nayru, the dragon of the Lanayru region, the water dragon is Farore, dragon of Faron region, and the fire one is Din, the dragon of the Eldin region." Nayru said.
"We can revive your friend."Farore said.
" But bad news is in the mix, so listen carefully to Nayru`s words." Din said.
" In order for this to work you have to give up your wings and become a small dragon as her guide, so you will be called from that point on, Scales." Nayru said.
" Do you take the risks to bring back your friend?" Din asked.
Stormbreaker looked down at Pan then back up to Din and nodded.
"Very well, prepare yourself." Farore said as all three dragons put their hands out as Pan and Stormbreaker glowed, they rose up from the ground in a light sphere and the glowing sphere grew bright as the sun and when it faded, a small silver dragon took Stormbreaker`s place, Pan looked the same, but something there that wasn't there before, it was something that Stormbreaker had, it was full of silver had wings!Each one was as big as her.
" The deed is done we will be with the chosen sages for now, Aqune will start the quest the goddess has given her, for now we'll take her back to Skyloft." Farore said as he picked up the small dragon and Pan who now had wings.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
*grunt* *groan* "Huh where...where am I?" Pan said looking around and saw she was in a bedroom at the Knight Academy.
"I'm in the...Knight Academy?"Pan said. Then noticed the wings on her back.
"But...how... is this possible?" Pan stammered as she looked at the silver and white feathers.
" Oh thank goodness you're awake." a voice said. Pan looked up and saw headmaster Citra.
"Headmaster Citra!" Pan said suprised.
"Hello Pan, how do you feel?" he asked.
"Fine but, how did I get these wings? How did I get here? And what happened?" Pan asked worriedly as Citra calmed her down.
" Easy, I know you have alot of questions, but I can only answer your questions one at a time." he nodded.
"The first thing I should ask is, what happened? You've been gone for three days." he said
" I don't know, all I remember is that everyone left the race and I went into this giant thunderhead, me and Stormbreaker got lost in it, then some creature attacked us and I fell off of Stormbreaker who I saw got blown away, and thats all I could remember, but that doesn't explain how I got these wings." Pan said. Citra looked down at the ground and sighed as he looked up at her.
"I don't know how to tell you this but, you might have died when you fell, and the wings... it is still a mystery." he said as pan`s eyes filled with tears.
"That`s impossible, how could I live, if I died?" she sobbed as she sticked her hand into her pocket and noticed she still had Kato`s letter.
" What is that?" the headmaster asked.
" Before the ceremony started, I went to Kato`s house and all I found was this letter." Pan said as she openned it up. It said:
Dear Pan,
By the time you read this I will be in eternal sleep within the past. Pan , have you heard of the legend of the four sages? Well we are part of the story, I'm the Faron sage in Mortal form, Naidni is the Lanayru, and Flarey is the Eldin sage. You are also part of the legend, you are the Hero of the Twilight sage, Aqune. You must travel to each world and awaken us from our slumber so that we may aid the Twilight sage, when you start your journey, you must try to find the Twilight sage in mortal form while you awaken us. I know you will suceed. Never give up.
sincerely,
Kato
"I geuss you have a quest of the sages" Citra said.
" I geuss so, but who is the Twilight sage kato mentioned in his letter?" Pan asked
"The Twilight sage is a sage that had abilities and powers both of the light and shadow realms, she got both abilities from her parents, she can also weild most of the goddess, Hylia`s power." he said.
" Amazing but, where should I start? What weapon would I need to get?" she asked.
"I know someone who can help you, her name is Adlez, she lives on the surface at the Sealed Temple, an elderly man is with her, his name is Knil, they can tell you who the Twilight sage is in mortal form."he said.
" That's great, let's go find them!" Pan said excitedly as she tried to get up but Citra stopped her.
"Hold on it's time for you to rest, and you need to learn how to fly with your wings, how about you leave in five days, that would be enough for you how to fly." he said as Pan nodded.
"Good night."he said as Pan yawned and fell asleep with one wing covering her like a blanket. He walked outside of the room and saw a cloaked person a distance away from him.
"Hello Lalah it's good to see you."Citra said.
"It's good to see you too, Citra." the women replied.
"I'm sorry to worry you now but, you have to tell our parents that their granddaughter will try to meet them in five days and warn them that the Dark Ones are back!" he said urgently.
"Citra what happened? What did they do to her?! We can't let her go on the quest, I don't want her to." she said.
" I'll try to keep her from going to the surface, but go warn them right away!" Citra said in a raspy voice. Lalah nodded and hurried out the door into the night.
