"When you wish to see me again, play my song and I'll take you anywhere" the owl told us after dropping us off on the roof of Hyrule Castle. His song..? The Song of soaring? I looked through my music boxes as I heard Zelda's voice called for us

"Link? Lina?" We turned to see Zelda in her night clothes rushing up to us "it's been so long! what are you two doing up here?" I could ask the same thing

Link took out the Goron's Ruby to show to Zelda. She put her hands together in awe "you got it!? Wow! That's so great! We're one step closer to defeat Ganondorf" I closed my eyes and sighed, knowing she was wrong, but of course... I can't say anything "you two look exhausted. As thanks for your hard work, I will treat you to a stay here in the castle! I'm sure my father wont mind! Right Impa?"

"I don't see why not" Impa walked from behind us. I want to ask her something... She might know something about my home "you two are welcomed in the castle. I'll talk to the king right now. Zelda, go inside and take these three to your room" I pulled on her arm "hm?"

"Miss Impa... There's something I want to talk to you about. Do you mind if we take a walk after you talk to the king?" She looked surprised before giving me a warm smile

"Dear... You're so mature for your age. Alright, please follow me" she looked behind me "Zelda, get the maids to prepare for the sleepover. You better not cause trouble" Zelda smirked mischievously. I gasped shocked before giggling. I didn't know Zelda could be that kind of person to cause trouble

"Okay!" She took Link's hand "come on Link!" She ran him inside the castle. The wind from Hyrule field blew through my hair

"We can talk after I tell the king. Follow me" I nodded and followed her through the large castle. It was so beautiful inside it was too unreal. I stayed next to a soldier guarding the king's bedroom as Impa went inside to talk to him. I sat on the floor and looked at my music boxes from inside my bag.

There was a brown box that was titled "Song of Soaring" so that means I can use that owl to go anywhere if we can't use Epona in our youth? That's perfect!

I looked through all the colorful boxes and looked into the gold one... Lina's Lullaby? I have my own Lullaby?

I started playing it. The song made my body flutter in light, or at least that's how it felt. I felt lighter and in peace... I felt like I could do something with this song kinda like I can do with Zelda's lullaby in a way. This song is incomplete, not like the song is incomplete, but the magic that might be able to produce. I need something by my side when I play this song

I opened my eyes and looked up at Impa frowning at me. She helped me on my feet and gave me my bag before we started our walk around the castle to the exit

"What did you want to talk about, dear?" Impa asked in the hallway. I looked down at my music box with a upside down golden triangle on it

"Link and I went to Kakariko Village and tried finding a place to sleep... He went to find work to get us food and I continued looking for a place. I found this house in front of a large front yard protected by wooden fences... I went inside and..." I stopped walking when we were outside "I discovered it was mine. It seemed that my parents were worshippers of the goddesses and were priest in the temple of time... I was their daughter and grew up within those walls of the house before something bad happened on my 5th birthday..." Impa kneeled to my height

"I knew your blue hair looked familiar..." My eyes widened as she held my cheeks, wiping my tears away "I knew your parents... They were very religious. They pray for Hyrule and even served the castle. The king never heard of you, but because I lived in Kakariko and protect it when I have my time, I came to visit your parents and saw that they were taking care of a small child from the window. They confronted me and told me their believes. I didn't know what to think... I somehow believed you had magic within you. I am the last of the Sheikah, and I somehow feel like there's nothing out there I'm destined to be besides serving the princess. What I feel... I felt you as well. You have magic within you..." She pet my head "your parents were great people, but it's sad to know that no one ever knew about you. It was a way to protect you. Hyrule wouldn't understand... A baby with magic will make people terrified, but look at you now... You're out and very smart" I looked down again
