I don't get emotionally attached to Zelda characters. Except for Fi, especially at the end. Those who have played this game might understand why. (First Zelda fic? What?) Disclaimer:

Spoiler warning for those who have not finished Skyward Sword!
I lost your warmth that day. The day Demise was sealed. I only had my memories for that little flicker of happiness I felt when I was with you, guiding you. Becoming your…friend, I believe you call it. Master, I can only imagine how you are living without me now. I do trust that the Goddess-incarnate is as good a guide and companion I was to you.
Though I know by now, you are probably long dead. There is an 85% chance of it. Humans have a dreadfully short lifespan. Nearly one hundred years have passed.
Yet, I do not doubt that we will, somehow, meet again.
Master? Have you returned for me? Has evil the need to be destroyed once more by us?
No…it is not you, yet, someone who carries the same will as you. But he is so young. I cannot believe the Goddesses would place the fate of the world within the hands of a child. Though, I feel the power of the Triforce resonating with him, calling to him. Calling him to his destiny. He will need me, but he will not be like my original Master. No, he will not hear me. He already has a companion, and has no need for my interference, for my friendship.
As I thought, this child was too young to wield me. So, for seven years, I waited for his return once more. Now he is grown and ready to reseal the Demon King. My power shall be his power, and together, this reincarnation will fall, combined with the power of this current form of the Goddess Hylia.
I will seal him again, Master. For I know you would be…what was that expression? "Rolling in your grave?" Yes. You would be "rolling in your grave" if you knew that Demise had been allowed to take over this sacred land.
I was placed in stone again. Demise was sealed again, and I was the only key. That great temple built around me eons ago has long since fell to ruin. You would be disappointed in your people, Master. You would have never allowed me to be abandoned like that…would you? You would have not let the vines twist their way around the hilt. You would not have let demons keep watch over me. No you would have defeated them all.
Master?
Again, it is not you. Though, this one is more similar to you than the child was. He has your presence. He is very close to you in personality. I suspect that if he knew of my existence, he would be able to hear me. This time, he has a Shadow with him, a Twili. If you knew Master, that a Twili was a magician of old who attempted to be greater than the Goddesses, and that this one was allied with one, what would you say?
I suspect, that you would have been understanding upon hearing the Twilight Princess's tale of hardship. You were always the understanding type, Master.
Oh Goddesses.
Master, it is Skyloft we have returned too to vanquish a minion of the reborn Evil. Skyloft, your beloved home, has fallen to ruin. There are strange bird-humanoids who live here now. There are monsters overrunning the entire city…
I am glad that you do not see this, Master. I will make the demon pay for what he did to your home. To our home.
Master?
I believe…
My task is done. For good. I no longer sense Demise, and the golden light of the Triforce has spread across this land, which is now awash with peace.
What percent, would you say, that we have a chance of meeting each other again?
Damn it, Fi. Stop making me emotionally invested in a video game! What the hell, brain? What the hell.
By the way, please review!
