Chapter 10: The Heroes of the Four Sword at Eldin Volcano

We now move on to Eldin Volcano, an area thick with lava flows. At the Earth Temple's entrance, we can see the four Links waking up. One of them was on top of another one.

"Vio… Get. Off. My. Leg!" Blue groaned.

"It wasn't my fault!" Vio rolled his eyes and got off from Blue.

"Whatever." Blue pouted.

"Hey guys, what is this place?" Red asked. They looked around and indeed noticed they were standing on an unfamiliar ground.

"Don't tell me we're back on Death Mountain again…" Green sighed.

"I don't think so. This place looks a bit different to be Death Mountain. It takes place in a fiery mountain, for sure, but it's not Death Mountain. Plus, I can see some sort of village on the left side and there's even a temple here, well, if we discount the Tower of Flames." Vio said. But as Green and Blue were distracted by Vio's explanation, Red saw strange blue creatures who just noticed the heroes. They were leaving their village on the left and after the heroes.

"G-G-Guys, sorry for the interruption, but there are some blue creatures running to us!" Red panicked.

"Oh great, we've drawn their attention." Blue said sarcastically.

"Let's quit talking and take care of those guys! Come on!" Green shouted, pulling his sword. The other Links did the same and launched an attack at the creatures called Blue Bokoblins.

After the heroes defeated the Bokoblins, they returned to the Temple Entrance to take a look at the door.

"Hmm, there's an empty keyhole at the door. I think we need to find the key somewhere around here." Vio wondered.

"Yeah, but, where exactly do we start? We don't even know this place! And this place is huge!" Blue said.

"We know that, Blue. But I believe the key must be located in this part of the area only. In almost every case the objects we need to find are located near, right?" Green said.

"Hey, what's that in the ground?" Red asked no one. He walks toward a halfway buried golden object in the ground. He pulled it off and the object was shown to be a golden triangle with a curved end.

"That thing fits perfectly in that keyhole!" Green concluded as he, Blue and Vio came over. "Guys, I think the key is broken into pieces."

"What?! Ugh, don't tell me we have to hunt for stupid key pieces…" Blue growled.

"We have to. It's the only way." Vio said.

"I think we should split up, it will be easier. Once each of us find a key piece, we'll rejoin here." Green suggested. The other Links nodded and split up to find the key pieces.

(Green's POV)

I went back into those blue guys' village, and at its end, I eventually found a guard tower. I saw a bomb flower standing by, and used it to knock the tower, creating a bridge for me to walk over to the other side. I went through a winding cave, where I fought some Keese and Chuchus that were slightly different than the Keese and Chuchus I know in Hyrule. I wondered: what if I and the others aren't in Hyrule at all?

Anyways, I continued forward at the tunnel, however, the bridge that was at the tunnel's end was out! I looked at my left and found a path of platforms I could climb. Guess I'll have to go from above, then.

Once I reached the other side, I stepped on a switch that caused the bridge to slide back into place. I proceeded forward, and I found a very hot place. I took a deep breath and ran as fast as I could to reach the tunnel on the right side.

Yeowch! That place was a real inferno! I even burst into flames! Thankfully, I got out from it, and into a long, sandy slope. I then noticed that slope was a giant slide, with a few stone platforms along the way. I stayed on the left, and managed to reach one of the stone platforms. For my luck, I saw something golden buried on the platform where I was; I just found another piece of the key!

"Well, that's two pieces. I wonder how many pieces it has." I wondered.

(End of Green's POV)

(Red's POV)

I decided to explore more of the area where I just found the first key piece. I looked up and saw a bunch of rocks blocking the path above. I was right in front of an air geyser and noticed bomb flowers standing by. This gave me an idea; I pulled out the bomb flower and lobbed it into the geyser for a small ride into the rocks, blowing them up. I then decided to ride that geyser as well.

Whee! That was a fun ride! Right in front of me was a strange-looking metallic cube. I wonder what that is? It doesn't seem to activate with anything I tried, so I decided to keep searching for the key piece.

I jumped off the tall ledge and noticed a sandy slope, where a guard tower was standing. What if the piece was under it? I picked up a bomb flower standing nearby and threw it at the tower's direction. Its explosion knocked the tower over. I immediately slid down the slope and just as I expected, I saw a golden thing buried on the ground. That's it! Another key piece!

But that was not all! I looked at the knocked over tower's right side and saw a red and white pinwheel. Where should I use this? It's too heavy and too big for me to carry it, so I'll have to memorize where this was.

(End of Red's POV)

(Blue's POV)

So I just went back from the Temple's entrance and saw a giant sandy slope. I looked closely and saw a patch of rubble along the left-hand wall. That sounds like a good place for a bomb! And luckily for me, there was a pair of bomb flowers growing on a ledge that overlooks that slope! I picked up one of the bombs and rolled it on the slope.

Strike! The bomb exploded the rubble, revealing a small cave. Who's a master of bowling now?

I slid down towards the cave. Once there, I saw the key piece buried on the ground! I just found another piece of the key! All right!

(End of Blue's POV)

(Vio's POV)

I followed Green's path; this time, on that giant slope, I went right, eventually landing on a stone platform. I then saw a lava plug damming up some lava that's blocking my path. I pulled out a nearby bomb flower towards the plug, clearing the way.

There was still a rubble remaining after the lava receded. I pulled a second bomb flower and rolled it across the sandy slope to blow up the rubble. That revealed a small cave; maybe the key piece is inside.

Indeed I was right; I went through the small cave and saw a halfway buried golden object on the ground. It was a key piece. Time for me to regroup with the others!

(End of Vio's POV)

(Normal POV)

The four Links rejoined back at the Temple Entrance.

"So, did you find all the pieces of the key?" Green asked.

"We sure did." Blue grinned.

"Great! Let's use them to open that temple's door." Green said, directing to the Temple.

They insert the key's pieces. Eventually, the Earth Temple's doors open, revealing a staircase leading inside.

"Are we really going inside?" Red asked.

"We are. Come on, guys." Green said determined.

The four heroes then went downstairs inside the Temple.

To be Continued…

As you just saw, the personalities from each Link here are from the Four Swords' Manga.

I wanted them to fall at Eldin Volcano because it would take too long for one Link to find all the pieces of the key.

I also had to look at my Skyward Sword Guide and play the game to find the location of the pieces and to take a look at the area respectively.
