Wake Up Call

I think Impa could see it in my eyes.

"What did you see?"

"It was a barrage of memories. The first one I saw was two people fighting about Hylia."

"Soleil and Demise." Impa snarled the man's name.

"Yes. Soleil... she looked like me." I say hesitantly.

"Because she is you. Those memories you are seeing are hers... are yours."

Something snapped inside of me when Impa said that. I suddenly understood what the memories were trying to tell me. What I was trying to tell me.

I was a goddess. I was the sun goddess.

"I can't be goddess. I'm not even old enough to graduate my Knight Academy!"

"Breath, my lady. Zelda said the same thing but even now she's fulfilling her destiny."

"Zelda? She's here?"

"Yes, I am guiding her on her path."

"Can I see her?"

"You will in time, but only when both of you are ready."

"How will I know I'm ready?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

I stood there for a second trying to process all the new information at my hands. My best friend was alive and well, of course, I knew that because Fi but it was one thing hearing it from Fi and hearing it from Impa. It felt more real now. I still didn't know why but I trusted Impa. Then, a haunting thought echoed in my mind.

I was in love with Ghirahim.

"What did you do to him?"

"To whom?"

"Ghirahim."

She let out a sigh, "No worries, my lady, I did not harm him. I simply created a diversion to buy us time to escape... My lady, what else do you remember?"

"Uhh, I saw a giant dragon looking figure talk to me about creating a sword spirit. I said that we were in dangerous times, and he was one of the only people I could count on."

"Eldin the fire dragon, of course. This is his temple, my lady."

"The sword spirit I was creating was FI, wasn't it?" I say as that echoed in the back of my mind.

All these words and realizations kept popping up in my mind. It was like the old lady said, once I got some memories back then it would be like being in a hallway of locked doors with the key.

"Yes, the Goddess Sword was created by Soleil in secret. She knew of the horrors that would transpire so in preparation, she and Hylia gathered their forces, made their plan, and set it into motion."

"So, Fi was made specifically to kill Ghirahim."

"Kill Demise or rather Erebus, God of Darkness."

"He was my brother..."

Noticing the distress on my face, Impa interjected.

"You saw the memories; you know why you had to fight your brother. There was this darkness in his heart that not even his own sister could ward off."

"I saw how close we used to be. I loved him more than anything."

"I'm sorry, my lady. But this is how things must be. He made his choices, and we must make ours."

"What about Ghirahim?"

"My lady," Impa's voice was sterna and filled with venom. "You must forget about him. Your memories are deceiving you."

"What do you mean? He's not all that bad. I know there's still good in him."

"I had hoped your Ghirahim memories wouldn't return. It'd save you the heartbreak." She paused seeing my confusion. "Tell me, what was your last memory."

"Hylia and I were fighting about him."

"That memory happened right before you set the plans into motion to strike down your brother. Even back then your love for the demon held you back from making the right choices."

Her words stung a little.

"Ghirahim wouldn't hurt me."

"Hurt you?" Impa laughed. "He killed you."
