Chapter Three: Link's a What?!

Tired and exhausted after his fight with Ghirahim, Link wandered to the nearby Lake, Lake Faron. As he approached the edge of the lake he started looking around to make sure no monsters or creatures were near, little did he know that a certain Demon Lord had tailed him while hiding in the shadows of the nearby trees. Satisfied that the area was clear of prying eyes he stripped off his hat, tunic and chainmail leaving him with just his under shirt, pants and boots. Link paused once more, eyes darting around the small glen. Looking quite a bit more nervous and cautious he removed his under shirt and much to Ghirahim's surprise there was an additional article of clothing that looked suspiciously like a white corset. Ghirahim's eyes widened even more as the hero fumbled with the strings before tugging them free allowing the corset to fall away and reveal Link's deepest, darkest secret: Link was a girl.

Ghirahim stared at the beautiful form of the sky child, 'To think that all along the sky child was a girl. But wait, ten years ago…' A flashback of ten years ago came to him all of a sudden. It was a clear day in Faron Woods when he saw a Sky Knight falling from the sky, he had attempted to slow the man's decent but it was no use the man fell to the ground with a thud. Ghirahim ran forward to see if he was still alive, much to his surprise he was but just barely. He quickly set to work healing his wounds. However, he came to the discovery that the man hadn't just simply fallen, he had been stabbed with a blade dipped in a poison that had no antidote, so Ghirahim made him as comfortable as he could as the poison slowly ran its course. During this time the Sky Knight, Link, told him about the man who had stabbed him. They at one point had been good friends, that is until they met a beautiful girl from the far off island of Skyfall her name was Lily and they both fell in love with her, but she only had eyes for Link. They later got married and lived happily together until she got pregnant and had complications. Their child was born three weeks early and the delivery was anything but smooth and in the end she died giving birth to a daughter. In his anger and grief he chose to name his daughter and only child Link and raise her as a boy, telling only his friend Gaepora and his daughter Zelda (who was the same age as Link). Link told him about how horrible he felt not being a better father to her and that he wished that Ghirahim could meet her some day and that he hoped that she would grow up to be a beautiful young woman. As his flashback faded away he smiled to himself she truly had become a beautiful young woman. 'So the hero's name is Link, now I know.'

Meanwhile, Link had finished striping and wadded into Faron Lake and began bathing in the crystal clear waters. A strange chiming sound caught her attention, she quickly scrambled over to her pile of clothes throwing them on hurriedly ignoring the corset, why bother? No one from Skyloft was on the surface, so it really didn't matter. She grabbed her sword and chased after the sound which seemed to be moving through the woods ahead of her keep just out of view at all times. Ghirahim smiled from the shadows as he continued to lead the very curious hero down the woodland path, deeper and deeper into the woods they went until she reached a small clearing and noticed the chiming had stopped all together. Surveying her surroundings she let out a strangled gasp as her eyes fell upon the bleached bones of a man, lying beside him was a familiar sword that she recognized as her father's blade. Ghirahim watched as the hero fell to her knees staring at her father's remains, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Child, your name is Link, correct?" Link's head snapped up at the voice that had suddenly disturbed the silence of the woods.

"How do you know my name? W-who are you?" She shouted angrily as she searched around her for the source of the voice.

"I knew your father, he told me about you. A young woman forced to live the life of a man. And before you ask, I met him after he fell from the sky." Ghirahim sighed as he noted the flash of fear that had crossed her face at the mention of him knowing her father.

"But the fall would have killed him…"

"It would have if I hadn't caught him before he hit."

"Then how did he die, if not from the fall? Who are you?" Link demanded as she rose to her feet and glared in the direction that the voice seemed to have originated from.

"Perhaps I'll tell you who I am at another time, sky child. As for your father, he was stabbed with a poisoned blade, this one to be specific." Ghirahim threw the blade at Link's feet earning a startled gasp from the skyloftian.

"What did you call me?" Link's eyes widened at the strange voice referring to her as sky child, "Only person who's called me that was that half crazed Demon Lord, Ghirahim."

It was Ghirahim's turn to gasp, 'How could I make such a big slip up? Shit.' He quickly cleared his throat before he spoke, "I would advise against referring to Lord Ghirahim as crazed, you never know when he's listening. Besides the nickname is only logical, to look at you I'd say that you appear to still be a child and you came from the sky, therefore sky child." Ghirahim explained in a matter-of-fact manner, though he really didn't appreciate her calling him 'half crazed'.

"Fine, whatever. You still can't expect me to believe that my father died from a simple stab wound, he was the best knight in all of Skyloft, though I'm sure Cracidae would beg to differ though…" Link muttered in annoyance at the memory of the foul pompadour sporting creep.

"Wait, did you say Cracidae? Your father mentioned his name, I think he said he was the one that stabbed him. The blade had a strange venom that I could not heal, that's how your father died." Ghirahim explained sadly, as he remembered how painful Link's death had been, slow and lingering.

"Skulltula venom." Link whispered.

"Pardon?"

"Skulltula venom, Cracidae's the only person in all of Skyloft that dips their blade in that stuff. It's really hard to get a hold of in Skyloft, so it's really expensive, which means he brags about it all the time…" Link trailed off, seemingly lost in her thoughts. Ghirahim wanted nothing more than to rush forward and comfort her but thought better of it, she might try to kill him. "H-he hated my father, and his son hates me. H-he… he beats be up…a lot." Her voice was barely a whisper as she spoke. "I didn't think he hated him that much, so much that he'd kill him."

"Your father had told me that he was sure that you would grow up into a beautiful young woman just like your mother." Ghirahim said to her gently, want to comfort her somehow.

"He, my father said that?" She sounded shocked that her father would have said those words.

"Yes, and he had hoped that I one day would met you for myself. I'm glad that I got to met you, Link. Rest assured that as long as you are on the surface I will watch over you, my beloved sky child." With that Ghirahim retreated farther back into the woods, leaving Link in her shocked silence but making sure that he could still sense her movements should he need to swoop in and save her.

"What the hell was that all about? His beloved? The hell?"

...So, what did you think? Link's secret has been reveled, is it what you thought? I'm hoping you don't mind the fem-Link but not too many people do a romance between Ghirahim and fem-Link. Please feed the author with reviews!

Thanks,
