A year had past by since Daddy, the commander of the knight of Skyloft, went into battle with the Humans on the Surface, the land below Skyloft. As you may have guessed, Skyloft is a floating island in the sky. It's also home to Elves.

Humans hated Elves and attacked when ever they had the chance. Which was what started the Great Sky Wars around the time when I was born. My sister Twi was an amazing fighter. She could ride her Loftwing into battle and never seemed to get hurt.

Loftwings are the giant race of birds that help us Elves get around the sky and the were our protectors as well. I was almost old enough to get my Loftwing. The birds chooses its rider. I had one more year until it was my turn. You have to be 6 years old to get your Loftwing. I'm only 5 years old.

I looked up from my letter I was writing. Out the window, my sister's Loftwing land outside of our house. Twilight slid off her birds back.

"Twi!" I shouted as I rushed to her side.

"Hi Link," Twi said getting the groceries out of her bird's saddle bags.

"Any word from Daddy?" I asked ever hopeful.

She shook her head. "No. I stopped at the post office. No letters," Twi said sadly.

"But it's been a month!" I cried.

"I know," Twi said. Her eyes downcast.she seemed to be having one of her feelings.

Twi was a powerful mage. She had the power to manipulate nature and weather. Her favorite thing to do on dark stormy night, was to show me how she made a ball of fire in her hands. Twi could make the fire look like a little girl and make her dance. She named the little fire girl Flaming Lilly.

Flaming Lilly lives with us now. Lilly couldn't go outside when it was raining. Which Lilly hated.

Flaming Lilly ran out to see if she could help with the groceries. "Can I helped? Pleeeease?" She begged.

"Oh hi Lilly. Here. I got you a little baby doll," Twi said handing Lilly the flame proof doll. Lilly squealed and ran back into the house.

"What am I going to do with her?" Twi said with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" I asked as we entered the house.

"I..." Twi stared.

"Sister? What's wrong?" I asked. Lilly stared up at Twi.

"Momma?" She asked. Twi wanted Lilly to call her that. After all, had Twi made Lilly.

Twi knelt down and scooped Lilly up. Then, Twi looked at me. "I have to go to battle. Father needs me," she said. Twi sounded like she was going to cry.

"No! Momma! No!" Lilly sobbed. She wrapped her arms around Twi's neck. Twi rubbed Lilly's back.

"I have to! Dad's de..." Twi stopped herself from finishing her sentence. She almost broke down. I knew it! Something happened to Daddy! Something she wasn't telling me!

"Twi? What happened?" I asked.

"Dad's dead," she sobbed.
