Pipit

It was 1:30 when they came back with the news. They couldn't find her. They checked every island, but she was nowhere to be found. I decided to get as much sleep as I could. Tomorrow we would be going down to the surface to search. But I knew it was hopeless. She would have no reason to go down to the surface, and I knew everybody who lived above the clouds. No one would have a reason to take her. And nobody from the surface could have taken her because they can't fly. I lay down on my bed. I wasn't trying to fool myself into thinking I would sleep that night. It would be a sleepless night for me.

Groose

"HELLO!" I shouted.

The knight's jobs were to help people. And I kind of needed help.

I was trying to settle an argument between the Kikwi and the Parella. I've forgotten what they were fighting about, though. We were on a slab of land inside of the caves where the Parella live. It started as an argument. Now it was worse. The Parella were chasing us as we jumped from piece of land to piece of land. They were chasing me because they thought I favored the Kikwi. I kind of did, but I wasn't going to admit that.

We finally reached the cliff. But the problem was that it was a cliff. No way out. We were ready to defend ourselves from the oncoming storm. Well, I was. The Kikwi were just hiding in there bush form. The elder was not very convincing. I would've called my bird, but I couldn't leave the Kikwi. They were about to start shooting rocks at us (out of their mouths….or noses…).

I closed my eyes and awaited the pain.

"STOP!" a booming voice said from behind the Parella. Before I opened my eyes, I knew who it was. Faron, the water dragon, was standing (or floating) in the water before us. The Parella immediately retreated back to their caves. I told Faron that I was glad she turned up and she went back into the caves. I showed the Kikwi the way back into the forest, and I called my bird. I flew right into the sky.

Strich

A crowd had congregated in the plaza. I'd just gotten back from the paradise, and I saw Groose with a perplexed look on his face. I walked over to him.

"What is all of this about?" he asked.

"Pipit's mother is missing," I responded. We both went into a grim silence.

It seemed like everybody from the sky had congregated here. The citizens of Skyloft, the Lumpy Pumpkin owner, and Beedle were all here. There was a sense of gloom around the plaza. Even Dodoh didn't even seem happy. He was always happy. I looked at the clock. It was 8:57. The only person I didn't see present was Pipit. I didn't have enough time to contemplate that fully, though.

There was another scream. I recognized that voice. Kukiel. The little girl, just 5 years old, screamed and made no other sound. The crowd started to shift toward the source of the screaming. Then we heard another scream. It wasn't hard to figure out who screamed this time. Kukiel's mother was in tears. I couldn't see the little girl. Nobody could. Kukiel had disappeared, the same way Pipit's mom did.

Cawlin

I saw Pipit run outside. He must have heard the scream. But he wasn't looking at the crying mother; he was looking at the clock. It read 9:01. Then I realized why he was looking at it. It was about nine o clock when his mom disappeared. Except now it was a.m., not p.m. That meant it attacked every twelve hours! But then I heard my thought out loud, from in front of the crowd. Pipit was telling people exactly what I was thinking. I was the quiet genius. Pipit was the bragging genius. The people who bragged got all of the credit.

Karane

Pipit's theory didn't make too much sense, but it was all that we had. He said that whatever was causing these disappearances was taking one of us out every twelve hours. We didn't have any clue what this thing was, or why it was taking us out every twelve hours and not every hour, minute, or second. My mind wasn't entirely focused on what he was saying, though.

I was thinking about Fun Fun Island. I almost went totally bankrupt. Mom would've killed me. I couldn't pull something like that again. But it was such a rush! It was scary, yet fun. I wanted to go back and play that game some more. But now wasn't the best time. A little girl had just gone missing. As Pipit walked out of the crowd, the crowd started to back up like a fight had just erupted.

It had.

Fledge

It was the potion.

As Pipit walked out of the crowd, he bumped into me. The potion started to take influence on me. I don't remember what happened very well. All I remember is that I started a fight, and we both ended up with black eyes. I went to my room and sat down, and I realized what I had done. I silently cursed to myself. I grabbed the potions I had left and went to dispose of them, when my bad conscience made me realize something.

"You could handle yourself in a fight," it said "The potion is working."

It was right. And unfortunately, I listened. I took one of the potions and drank it. I got down on the ground and started on my push-ups again.

Pipit

"She was just standing right next to me," Kukiel's mother said, sobbing, "And then I heard a scream, and she was gone!"

I knew how it felt. I'd lost my mother the same way. I started to comfort her, try to get her to think that there was a chance that Kukiel would return, but before I did, I heard a rumbling noise from outside.

Groose

The cloud layer was changing. The few spots that you could fly through to get to the surface were starting to be covered up with clouds. The clouds were shifting. I knew for a fact that Link and Zelda were still on the surface. Now there was no way to get to the surface. We were alone.
