"How did we get stuck doing this again?"

"Stop complaining, Link. Do you want to find Zelda?"

"I do!"

"Then, stop it and keep moving."

Link and Azhelia were currently trying to find all of the Kikwis in the forest because of the elder Kikwi being worried about the members of his tribe. So far, they found Lopsa who happened to be stuck in a tree.

"Link?" Azhelia asked as they walked around, continuing their search.

"Yeah?" He turned to the girl next to him.

"What... what do you think of Zelda?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, what do you think of her as?" She asked.

"Hmm... I don't know. Sometimes I think of her as a friend. Sometimes as something else."

"Really?" She said with a small smile.

"Yeah. I'm not exactly sure though."

"Oh."

I guess Zelda's lucky to have such a friend. She looked away, sadly. I wish I had a friend who was always cared about me like that.

After finally learning about Zelda's whereabouts and getting the slingshot from the elder Kikwi, the two Skyloftians began their trip to the temple. They reached a ledge in which Link used his slingshot to reach, while Azhelia used her wings. Ahead of them was an opening that most likely led to the temple.

"Ready, Azhelia?" Link turned to her. She nodded and they walked through.

Behind them on the viewpoint that held the goddess statue, stood a figure in a white and great outfit with a red cloak, staring at the two young people. With a snap, the figure disappeared in a flash of white and red diamonds of different shapes and sizes.

After exiting the cave, Link and Azhelia ended up in a new area of the woods, the Deep Woods. Fi appeared in front of the two.

"I have confirmed the plant life of this area matches that of Faron Woods. We have reached the area locally referred to as the Deep Woods. Now we should continue toward the temple in search of Zelda."

Link and Azhelia began to walk forward where they were met with a red Bokoblin Leader that the two took out quickly.

"Are kidding me!"

Link and Azhelia reached a section in the woods before the temple in which one would use a rope to walk across to the other side, but there was a problem: a bottomless pit met with the fate of those who do not make it all the way.

"Don't worry, Link. If anything, I'll be there to help you out." Azhelia said as she put a hand on Link's shoulder.

Luckily, Link was able to make it without much trouble. Towards the end, they saw the goron they had met earlier.

"Now, there is a face I know. Hey, bud!" the goron greeted Link very happily. "I tell you, your timing could not have been better. Look here. I stumbled onto one of these things just now, and looks just like something I have seen in those ancient texts!" They all turned to a dark purple cube on the ground. "If I remember right... Yup, this is one of the things the goddess was said to have left behind for the hero of legend. Pretty amazing, right? I even thought up a name for these things. I have been calling them Goddess Cubes! Makes sense, right? Those ancient texts say some real interesting stuff about these things. How did it go again? Let me see, uh... "Summon forth the light from a heavenly blade, and may that sword's master receive aid." So there you have it." He informed Link. He then turned to Link. "I see you got yourself a sword there. What do you say we try and crack the mystery of this cube together?"

"Sure." Link replied.

"Hey! Thanks a billion, bud!" He did a small happy dance. "This cube is made of some sort of metal I have never seen. I have whaled on it, but nothing happens. You know, bud I would say the key to cracking this egg is that one line. You know, "the light from a heavenly blade?"

After that, the two continued walking toward the temple. The door to the temple was closed. Fi appeared once again.

"Master Link, I have detected Zelda's aura emanating from within this structure. However, I have also detected the presence of numerous monsters. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

The two nodded, a determined look on their faces.

"It would be very unwise to display overconfidence here. Within the walls of this place, no one will come to your aid." Fi warned them. "Now we should continue the search for Zelda."

Azhelia and Link approached and entered the temple.

I'm going to skip most of it because I find it kind of boring. The only thing that is of note is that Azhelia cannot use her wings throughout the temple. It WILL be explained much later at another chapter as to why.

Anyway, I'm REALLY sorry. I seriously did not mean to take so long to update. I also did not mean for this to be short. I actually meant to do more but I'm so busy I thought I might as well, make the next part the next chapter.

I have started college and am close to the end of my first semester there. So far, it's been pretty good. Not much to really talk about there.

Reviews (starting from chapter 1):

MyPie234: I am happy that you approve of Azhelia. I was worried that with this new OC there would be some people who don't like her. Thank you!

Brave Little Lion: Thank you! I'm glad that you love this!

Ginga no Yousei: I felt SO bad for Impa. She has always been my favorite character in the Zelda series. Thank you! I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

FlamingHazleGreen1806: Thank you! Please continue reading!

Chibi-Aibou-Midna: Thank you!

Elven Silver Power Ranger: Thank you so much! I'm happy that you love this. I'm trying really hard to finish this! Please keep reading!

L'uccellino: Thank you! I am so happy! I love Skyward Sword, not more than Ocarina of Time though. And thank you, but I really just copy what Fi says. Thank you though!

Now, I will do my best to update more often. Hopefully, I can write more before the next semester, because I can tell you right now that it will be extremely busy.

Thank you for reading my stories, even if it takes a while to actually update!

Stay awesome!
