They all looked at the first hero in horror. "Well, this just got interesting" said Time, sitting back and letting a smirk cross his face. "Alright then..." said the Hero of the Sky. "It was a few years before my adventure... and I was practicing on my loftwing. Below me, two boys, about my age, who had never gotten their loftwings, stared up at me. Pitying them, I ducked down, and landed on Skyloft, offering to give them a ride. Their names were Jeff and Liu, I knew that, and they were always being bullied by Groose and his gang. They agreed, and Liu pushed Jeff forward first, he was the youngest, and was incredibly shy most of the time. I flew them around Skyloft a few times each before it became dark, they thanked me and began to turn away when a few other bullies from Skyloft landed. They started picking on all three of us, and before I could say anything, Jeff stepped up and started yelling at them"

He took a shaky breath, and continued. "The bullies pulled a knife, which surprised us all. But Jeff regained himself, and punched one in the nose, shattering it. We were all in shock as he pushed the one with the knife away, and started stabbing him, almost killing him. The two of us yelled at him to stop, but he didn't listen. He beat them up, badly, and then ran away, back to his house. Liu and I ran with him, chickening out. I hopped on my loftwing and flew as fast as could back to the cave I used as a house before I entered the knights academy. I felt like a coward, I should have helped them, though they were bullies. I cried myself to sleep, and Zelda found me the next morning. Her face was pale, and she didn't say anything as she lead me to the headmaster, her fathers, office.

"When I got inside, Jeff and Liu were there. Jeff had this big smile plastered on his face, like he hadn't just tried to kill the three bullies, who were standing behind the headmaster, scared. He looked at me with a blank expression, and told me to sit. I did as I was told, and started to silently cry. I didn't want Jeff or Liu to get in trouble for what they had done. I really didn't want anything to happen that was about to go down. But before I could say anything, the head master was talking. 'Now, I want you all to tell me exactly what happened and....' Liu stood up. 'I did it, headmaster... don't let them tell you otherwise. I shattered his nose, and stabbed him.... I'm sorry" he answered. No one said anything. And then, Jeff stood up. 'NO! I did it! Don't you dare lock my brother up!' Then I stood up. 'I did it' I answered simply. 'I'd had enough of them bullying everyone, so I tried to kill them. And I'm not sorry about it' Zelda looked terrified, though I think she knew I hadn't done it

"The Head Master believed Liu's story, and gave Jeff a disappointed look, he wouldn't even look at me as begged him not to lock Liu up. Sure enough, he did, and Jeff was broken. His parents dragged him off to the Sky festival, where all the adults were drinking. There, he met the same bullies and... I saw the whole thing. He strangled one after he beat Jeff to a pulp. Then the others, he killed with a giant stone. One of them covered him in vodka and set him on fire. I watched as he ran around, screaming, and finally fell unconscious. Zelda and I were the only ones who saw the whole thing, but we refused to tell them the truth. It was just to.... sick to really understand.

"The next time I saw Jeff, his brother was out of jail, and he had turned into the monster you know Twilight. His face was like white leather, and his lips were gone. When he heard about the kid who died, Zelda and I thought he was crying... I realize now that it was a laugh. He and Liu asked us to stay over that night. So we agreed, feeling bad for them. But in the middle of the night, we heard a scream. I rushed upstairs, telling Zelda to hide.... she rushed after me instead.... And what we saw, was Jeff, with a smile carved into his lipless face, holding a knife above his parents bodies. We screamed, and ran. Zelda threw herself over the banister, but Jeff already had me pinned to a wall as I yelled for her to run.

"He stabbed me, and carved a smile into my own face. Then moved the knife towards my eye. I screamed as it began to pierce through it, and that's when Liu tackled him off. Jeff threw him off and I watched as they tried to kill each other. In the end, Liu passed out, and Jeff looked at me. 'I'll remember you Link, your special, goddesses favorite' Then he ran out, and I never saw him again....

"When I saw Liu, after he was out of the hospital, he was standing on the edge of Skyloft, looking down at the clouds below. 'Don't do it' I said suddenly. 'I killed the nurse' he commented, raising a bloody knife as he revealed his destroyed face. 'I'm going to see him again Link... Maybe I'll kill him, maybe I'll kill with him, who knows?' He laughed. 'But I'll never kill you... no matter how much I hurt you, in this life or the next goddesses favorite. Cause you don't think I'm a monster... cause you want to do the same thing' He dropped the knife at my feet, and I picked it up. Then he dropped off Skyloft... and I watched as he dropped off Skyloft, disappearing into the clouds below... As I watched him die... or so I thought.... I looked at the knife... and smiled"

Even Time was speechless. "Woah" said Wind, who was shivering in fear. "I still have the knife" he pulled out a knife...

It still had fresh blood dripping from it.

And in the moonlight, they could see that a scar shaped like a smile, flashed in the moonlight as Sky grinned, his eyes flashing red.
