As I landed back in Skyloft after returning to our own time and the old woman told me that the Triforce was located in Skyloft. So that was the first place I headed to naturally but now that I'm here I don't have a clue where to start. I thought the bazaar was as good as any place to start, but as I walked in I thought that the fortune-teller would probably be a good shot to even give me any information. "Ah! You're that young man from before! What do you say I tell your future, hm? I'll cut you a deal sure, half price! Come now! Let me see into the future with these big, round eyes! And you get my special rate-- half off! Shall I begin to peer into you future? It'll be 5 Rupees. What do you say?" I smiled, nodding.

"Sure!" I said, handing over the rupees and allowing him to 'tell my fortune' "So what information do you seek? What is it that you want to know?" "Where to next?" I asked him, wanting him to give me as much information that I could get to start off with. "Magnificent! Come closer, then! Let us see what I can.... see! Ahaaaaaaa. I see many things..... All is revealed.... I see you've finally found the one you've been searching for! That is wonderful. However, your trials are not yet ended! Now you must speak to the great giant who swim above the clouds. If you wish to know more, you should talk to the Headmaster of the Knight Academy." Hm, Robert will know more that's not really surprising. "That's all I can see for the moment.... My eyes grow weary. Come see me again if you should lose your way." I nodded, quickly exiting the bazaar and heading straight to the Knight Academy.

As I entered Robert's office, I saw him hear my entering and turned around gasping. "Ah, Link my son, welcome back! Have you heard anything more about our dear Zelda?" He noticed, my expression of being overwhelmed with everything that's happened the last few days and furrowed his eyebrows. "What is it, my boy? If you know anything at all, I urge you to share it with me." I sighed. "I want to tell you Robert, I do. But I just can't.... I'm sorry." He patted my shoulder. "Hmm. I....understand, son. Do not worry, I'm sure you have a good reason for keeping it quiet.... Link, I've been do some thinking since we last spoke. You have had this destiny you and your sister have both had it thrust upon you without warning.... or choice, for that matter. But I wish to help you as best I can to bring you and your sister back where you belong. I'm getting older, and I lack the vigor of youth.... but even old men have ways of being useful too!" I chuckled at him.

"So any questions about Skyloft or its history, I will be glad to tell you all that I know." I smiled. "Actually.... What do you know about the Triforce and its location?" His eyes widened. "What do I know of the Triforce.... Link, my boy where did you hear that word?" He gasped when I told him, looking down. "Your sister? I see.... as well as the ancient texts here in Skyloft. But I must apologize Link. It shames me to say it, but my knowledge is of little use on this subject. I wish I help you more...." I smiled. "Don't worry Robert, it's ok. I'm sure I'll find out." I went to walk out looking for more clues when Robert stopped me. "Link, just a moment!" "Yes, Robert?" He smiled.

"Though, there is one whose vast knowledge may be of use.... Surely you're familiar with Levias, the great sky spirit who has guarded our realm for ages? Levias has served as the protector of our skies for a long time, and his knowledge of our world is encyclopedic, to put it mildly. If anyone in the entirety of Skyloft and beyond were to know about the Triforce, it would be him." I nodded. "Where is he?" He sighed. "Well, I imagine in your travels you've notice of the tremendous thunderhead that suddenly appeared in our skies. Recently, I've heard rumors suggestive that Levias is trapped inside that massive cloud. I asked Instructor Owlan to look into this troubling cloud in order to determine if there is any truth to these rumors. I had meant to inquire about his findings earlier but completely forgot about it after Zelda went missing. Instructor Owlan can fill me in on the details later, so why don't you go and speak with him, Link. I'm sure he could help you with his information from his investigation."

I nodded, heading out of Robert's office and to Instructor Owlan.

After a long winded conversation with Instructor Owlan, a loftwing flying technique and a flight later, I was inside the Thunderhead ready to take on Levias. Owlan said that he is isn't capable of listening to my request in his current state and even if I got close enough to him it probably wouldn't end well. I convinced him that I still wanted to talk to Levias to try and see if he could help me find Zelda, he understood and so he said that he would teach me something new with my loftwing to make the calming of Levias easier as something was possessing him to make him act this strange way.

I managed to defeat the evil being possessing Levias, soon enough he rose from the sky as it brightened up as the evil here was gone. "Tell me, boy, was it you who brought me this most delectable cauldron of pumpkin soup?" Ah, yes I had a bottle of Pumpkin soup from the Lumpy pumpkin as a favor to Levias. "I must apologize for my earlier behaviour. A most peculiar and irksome pest possessed me. I was not myself. But that business is done with now! The delicious aroma of that soup has restored me to my senses. I am the great spirit they call Levias. Before she passed from this world so long ago, the goddess, Hylia, appointed me as the warden of the skies. And what do they call you boy?" "Link, sir, was the name my father given me." I smiled. "Ah, Link. A rather pleasing name, that. Your father clearly has excellent taste in names! Hmm.... You carry a curious sword, boy. And I sense a silent power dwelling somewhere in that little frame."

He looked at me carefully. "Ah, I see it now, Link, you are the goddess's chosen hero. How interesting...." Yeah, even more interesting when the goddess reborn is my sister. "I assume you've come to hear what I know of the Triforce." He asked. "Right." "As I suspected... Listen closely, and I will tell you. As you likely know, long ago, an evil force attempted to take the Triforce for his own. The goddess did everything in her power to prevent it from falling into his hands. For the safety of all things, she hid the Triforce somewhere within the rock you call Skyloft. However, its location has been kept secret. Even I do not know where it rests now. Oh, but the goddess did entrust me with a hint to the Triforce's location. The clue is a song, meant to be played on the harp you hold. It is known as the Song of the Hero. The song is the key to revealing the secret location of the Triforce. The goddess split this song into four parts. She entrusted one part to me and the other three to the dragons of the land."

Ah, more running around. Great.

"You must gather each of the parts of the Song of the Hero. Seek out the dragons, and convince them to teach you their parts. When they've taught you what they know, come to me and I will complete the song with my own voice! The dragons can be found at Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru Desert. Go on, then. Find the dragons you now seek." I guess I know what I'm doing next and where I' going.
