12Soon all four guys were of edge and on their birds, looking for the bird with the statue.
Azhelia waited patiently for Owlan to give her the command to go.
"Be careful, my dear."
"Good luck, Azhelia!"
She smiled as Owlan have the command. She ran and jumped up and flew away.
Now, where's that bird?
She found it, Groose right behind it by about two meters. She began to beat her wings quickly, catching up in a few seconds.
She was right behind the bird, her hand outstretched as she tried to reach the statue.
"Hey! Don't you know this is my day to get all the glory?" Groose yelled.
He then rammed me with his Loftwing.
"What's the matter with you? Are you trying to kill me?" She screamed at him. She scoffed and looked for the bird.
She then felt something smash into her face. She noticed it was an egg. A rotten one at that.
"Hey! Knock that off!" She flew after the bird again.
She then saw that Link had the statue in his hand.
Oh well. I at least tried. She smiled, knowing that Link would become a great knight. She flew to Instructor Owlan and Headmaster Gaepora.
"Are you all right, Azhelia? We saw what happened." The Headmaster asked.
"Yeah. I'm gonna go home and see if I can get some of this egg off. It stinks."
"Okay. If you need anything, we'll be at the academy."
She nodded and flew to her home. It was underneath all of Skyloft, very few actually know that she lives there, mostly the instructors and the Headmaster of the academy. She went into her home-for-three-people house and got two towels, some soap and a change of clothes. She undressed and wrapped a towel around her. She then went to the small river that went right by her home. It had been changed so that she could use it underneath all of Skyloft.
"This feels good." She sighed after she finished bathing.
"Azhelia!" She looked behind her and saw that it was once again Instructor Owlan calling her.
"What's up, Instructor Owlan?"
"It's Link! He and Zelda left on their Loftwings after the ceremony and Link returned unconscious! He needs your help!"
Azhelia jumped into action. Just because she was a student at the academy, it didn't mean that she didn't have a job: the certified doctor of Skyloft. She ran back inside her house and got her emergency bag. She grabbed some jars from a shelf and placed them in another bag. She then grabbed some herbs that only she could find.
"Let's go." She told Instructor Owlan.
Link...?
He saw a strange girl figure appear before him.
I am waiting for you. The time has come for you to awaken. You are vital to a mission of great importance. She said.
Link…
He then saw Zelda. The two reached out to each other, but then a black creature opened its mouth as Zelda fell in…
"Ah, you're awake." Link heard after he sat up from the horrible nightmare. He looked to the side and saw Headmaster Gaepora next to his bed and Azhelia on his desk working on something in a bowl.
"When your Loftwing carried you back, you were limp and unconscious. I feared the worst." Said the Headmaster. "Fortunately, you don't appear to have any serious injuries. For that much we can be grateful."
"He doesn't APPEAR to have any injuries, but I still have to give him a look over.
Link looked at Azhelia as she wiped her hands on the apron she had.
"Why didn't you do it before?" the boy asked.
"Because I would like to have your consent before I go around poking you to check for any injuries. Besides I still needed for you to be awake to drink this." She gave him a cup of the liquid she was working on. He drank it and nearly spat it out.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Medicine." She replied.
The headmaster cleared his throat.
"Link. Where's Zelda? She was with you was she not?" he asked. "…What's happened to my daughter?"
As Link explained what happened, Azhelia poked and prodded him to make sure he wasn't injured.
"A black tornado, you say? Hmm. That was no ordinary storm." The headmaster mused after Link finished.
"Your okay, Link. Only the shock knocked you unconscious." Azhelia said quietly.
Zelda… please be okay. She prayed.
Link moved his legs to the side of his bed and began to fix his boots.
"Link, don't push yourself. You're still recovering." The young girl said. Link looked at her and sighed, seeing as how serious she was all of a sudden.
"Tell me, when you saw Zelda today, did anything about her seem…off?" Headmaster Gaepora asked. Link told him about what Zelda said and what he dreamed.
"I see. She was talking about the surface then? And you've been having dreams about a "great mission"? How interesting…" He stayed silent for a while. "I'm sorry. I was lost in thought there for a moment. It's all very strange, but I doubt there's much of a connection between these things."
"Doesn't it seem too much of a coincidence? I think there is." Azhelia murmured.
"Either way, daybreak has yet to arrive. It would be very difficult to spot one girl and her bird in the dark of night. It would also be very dangerous." The headmaster told the two, mainly at Link. "Rest now, Link, Azhelia. Zelda's going to be fine. She's out there alive. I know it." The headmaster soon left the room.
"Well, then. I guess- huh?" Link and Azhelia looked towards the door. They then looked at each other. "Did you hear that?" she asked. Link nodded. He got up and began to walk out the door with his sword on his back. "Link, what are you doing? You're supposed to be sleeping!"
She looked at the strange girl in front of them.
She's beautiful…
As Link approached the girl, she began to move away from him, leading him out of the academy. Azhelia followed him, to make sure he didn't push himself.
"Wow…" Azehlia whispered. The two teens stopped next to the statue of the Goddess. The strange girl went through a wall. A doorway appeared. Link and Azhelia looked at each other and went in.
What they saw amazed them: a sword in its pedestal.
As the two approached, the strange girl they were following appeared out from the sword.
"The one chosen by my creator. I have been waiting for you. You will play a role in a great destiny.
