The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga
By Queenie Z
Dear Diary
"Green!" called Engie breathlessly as he rushed over, clutching a small, leather-bound book in his hand and waving it around over his head. "Green, I got it!"
Green looked up, breaking into a big grin when he saw the book. "No way," he said, "you got Sky's diary?"
The younger Hero stopped in front of Green and nodded furiously. "Yeah, that lazy bum was keeping it in his pillowcase." He smirked. "What a lousy hiding spot!"
Chuckling, Green took the book from Engie's hands. "Yeah, he may be the eldest, but he's still an airhead sometimes." He looked down at the diary in expectation. "I bet this thing has eons' worth of juicy secrets!"
"Yeah, and who knows?" added Engie with a mischievous wink, "We may find dirt on the others, too!"
"Yeah!" Undoing the small clasp on the cover, Green opened the book and flipped to the first page. When the two saw what was written, however, their faces immediately fell.
"Um," said Engie after a short moment of silence, "is that supposed to be Hylian? I can't read it…"
"No," answered Green as he flipped through the pages, "it's the Skyloftian alphabet!" He scowled, unable to find even a single paragraph written in modern Hylian. "That sneaky bastard wrote it this way on purpose - he knew none of the rest of us would be able to read it…!"
"And the only people we could ask to translate it are Sky's friends," Engie said with a pout, "and they'd tell him for sure!"
Green let out a loud, irritated sigh and slammed the book shut. "Well this is just great!" He handed it to the other Link. "Engie, go put this back where you found it before Sky notices it's gone."
"Okay." Engie took the diary, then chuckled a little. "So much for being an airhead, huh? Seems to me he's smarter than you thought."
"You learn something new every day," grumbled Green as he sulked off, leaving Engie to try and return the diary before they got caught with it.
