The next room was actually one we'd visited before, the room where Ghirahim had told me about the channel 'guarded' by a Dexihand, only this time we were on the covered bridge crossing it that I knew led back to the entrance chamber. Given how little I'd done and how little there was left to do, this was actually convenient since I needed to invert the Temple anyway.

Guarding the way ahead was a curious metallic... thing, crouched froglike. When I approached however it stood up on two legs, oddly humanoid except for it's single green eye. It stomped toward me, throwing up its hands to create a rock between them, which it lobbed at me – and I felt Navi's mind deflect away from me. The thing's eye turned yellow as it paused to throw a tantrum at this, then it tried again.

"Oh, for goodness sake Silver, you're helpless," Tael sighed. "It's just an Eyegore golem. Shoot its eye when it turns yellow."

"Alright, alright," I said, injured. "I was getting to that."

Navi chuckled, but said nothing. Since I evidently was going to need the crossbow I backed away out of its reach until it sank down again, then went back to being Hylian, loading the crossbow ready.

"Not yourself then?" Navi asked.

"I don't attract so much attention when I look like this," I replied, readying the crossbow. "Not that it matters here I guess, but still. Blaze, would you get its attention? Navi can keep the rocks away from you, and I'll stick a bolt in its eye."

"You're a charming person Silver, you know that?" Tael observed. "The way you so casually talk about defeating monsters is almost disturbing."

"Do anything enough times and it becomes commonplace," I shrugged, taking aim. Blaze approached the Eyegore warily and as it had for me, it rose up materializing another rock. Navi lofted it out of its hands before it threw it, enraging it immediately. I fired, and as the bolt impacted so too did the rock Navi had dropped on it. It started back from my shot, then was driven to the ground by the rock, if not defeated then stunned. Just for good measure, Blaze approached it and gave it a few good stabs, some in the eye but also in gaps in what appeared to be the metal body.

After she was done with her assault it exploded into nothingness, causing a chest to appear which, interestingly enough, Navi opened with an absent thought to release a Stray Fairy. She made a few high-pitched sounds that were very musical, then the Stray Fairy flew to me.

"What did you do there?" I asked her curiously as we continued.

"I just talked to her in the language of Fairies," Navi replied. "Told her you weren't a threat and you were gathering her friends to restore her into her greater form. She decided to go with you willingly because of it, obviously."

"Couldn't you do that?" I asked Tael.

"My voice is too low for them to hear," he replied. "I can do it, but it's in a different range to the girl fairies."

It was a fascinating insight into a side of Fairies we never really see much of.

Outside in the still deserted entrance area I found we were back on the narrow spit where I'd made the first chest appeared, and I eyed the gap between me and the other side warily. Blaze, ever graceful, easily leapt the gap, and both Tael and Navi simply flew, leaving me there.

"Oh, don't tell me," Navi sighed. "Same as the Shadow Temple?"

"He nearly made it when we got here," Tael told her. "Had to pull himself up though."

"Oh, Silver," Navi sighed again. Rather than leave me there I felt her mind reach out, pick me up and take me over the gap herself. For someone who does that to himself all the time, it was actually strangely startling.

"You've definitely grown stronger," I noted once I was set down again. "You managed that without a problem."

"Like you said – I kept in practice. Now, are we going to invert the Temple?"

"Just one thing first," I replied, went apart a ways, and used the Elegy of Emptiness to create a shell of my Hylian form. "If it stays there afterwards, it'll let us move about on the other side of the Temple at the same time," I explained.

Navi examined it with interest, then said, "I don't see the point. It's just a statue."

I reached out to it the same way I had in Igos' throne room, shifting my consciousness to it.

"Sure about that?" I said through the shell's lips instead.

Navi was definitely startled by that, examining both with her mind again.

"Go back a moment Silver," she told me. "I need to know something."

I did just that, returning again.

"It's really quite simple Navi. The song creates a shell of whichever form I'm in at the time, and I can hop between them at will."

"Interesting," she said thoughtfully. "Give me some time to think about this. I've got an idea, and it needs working on."

"Whatever you say, Navi."

Then we went back outside, where the three stones were still in place. I leapt to the closest one and fired a light bolt into the red gemstone. There was a strange sense of movement, and a startled cry from Blaze who was now hovering in the air under Navi's power.

"Quickly Silver," she snapped. "Grab hold of the bottom of the block! I can't hold two of you at once!"

I threw myself down and had to stretch to reach the bottom edge not really understanding at first – until gravity caught and started tugging me down – or possibly up – toward the moon. I was left hanging at arms length from the bottom, now top, edge of the stone.

While I watched helplessly, unable to get myself up, Navi and Tael flew around to the underside of the platform they'd been on, Navi taking Blaze with her, then once the shaken feline had been set down, she came back for me.

The three platforms, now four, were hovering at what previously had been just above the entrance to the Temple. The tower I'd ascended to reach the Temple now stretched up above us, and peering over the edge the endless sky, complete with the moon, awaited us below.

Above us, the rocks that had previously been just an inconvenience continued along the same paths, unaffected by this apparent shift in gravity. Navi, like me, noticed this and picked up a nearby rock. When she let it go, it soared upwards, obeying the normal gravity.

"Remind me never to go adventuring with you or your friends again, Silver," Blaze told me. "This magic is starting to get weird."

"Welcome to the life of a Hero, Blaze," I laughed, and headed back into the Temple.

The shell I'd created was nowhere to be seen, and since the spot it had been on now lay above open skies, it was fairly obvious what had happened. It had been affected like the rest of us. It was worth a try.

A sun face I'd noticed before and not done anything about was reachable here, and shooting it with a Light bolt caused it to activate and create a chest right in front of the stone emblem that would, if I had Twinmold's remains, take me back to him. That chest contained another Stray Fairy, which after a few more musical words in the fairy tongue, Navi also convinced to come with us.

East – West to people right-side up – was the only way we could go for now, leading us into the room where I'd first encountered the light-battery mirrors. The sun block, having been removed before, was therefore not present and not barring our path. Even if it had been, I suspected the new light bolts would work the same as it had on the sun switch.

Here, holes in the ceiling that had previously let sunlight in now let air rush inwards, drawn upward to create air currents that, with a sigh, I realized I was going to have to go Deku to make use of. Blaze concealed a snicker when she saw that form.

It was only after I'd flown ahead a ways I realized I was going to have to change again because I spotted an ice-encased eye switch, so I dropped to what had previously been the ceiling, between the currents, and changed back to trigger it.

"A chest appeared up on that ledge opposite us," Blaze called down. "Navi's taking me there. We'll meet you there – Deku boy!"

"Oh, don't you start with that too," I groaned, changing back again. I leapt into the nearest current to rapidly gain height, then passed them in mid-air as I flew for the chest that appeared, containing another Stray Fairy, which once again Navi had words with.

I took out the relevant map for this side of the Temple, which Navi then took off me.

"I know what you're like," she told me. "There's a chest above us. Use the current on either side to get up high enough. It's on the channel that leads to the room with all the water."

"How come there's no waterfall from there then?" Tael wondered.

"One way to find out," I squeaked, since I was still a Deku Scrub. Blaze once again tried not to laugh at me. That's the sort of thing that kept me from ever being comfortable as a Deku Scrub – no one takes me seriously like that.

The channel Navi directed me to was wet, slippery and had tiny puddles along, but no water. When I got to the other end where the Dexihand still waited, I saw why there was no waterfall – the water had all drained out of the top of the Temple. There was, however no chest.

"It's back the other way. Would you step on that floor switch there dear?" Navi asked Blaze. "Only Silver isn't going to be heavy enough to trigger it like that."

"We'll go up ahead to find the chest," Tael said, already going ahead. "C'mon, Deku Boy."

"I wish you'd stop calling me that," I grumbled.

"Then don't be a Deku Scrub," he told me.

"I kinda need to be right now."

"Who's fault is that? If you'd played the Song of Time after defeating Igos, you'd have got your mind back and wouldn't have to worry so much."

"I wish you'd suggested that to me before we came here, Tael."

"I only just now thought of it. Go open the chest," he told me as it appeared, not nearby but over on a far ledge, beyond another masked Hiploop.

"Sorry," Navi apologised, catching up. "I was looking at the wrong part of the map. This inverting the Temple thing got me a little mixed up."

I flew over toward it, dropping a barrage of Deku Nuts on the Hiploop to persuade it to leave us alone, then retrieved a silver key from the chest.

"There's something for you to answer, Navi," I squeaked. "How did you get through the locked doors? I know there's at least one we met."

"I teleported us through," she replied. "Actually I used what I learned for travelling time and used the same theory for travelling through space. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was, and I didn't need a spell for it the way you did."

"That's not supposed to be possible!" I exclaimed. "You shouldn't have been able to do that!"

"Well, you learn something new every day. Keep moving, Silver. Change back and shoot that sun switch up there."

With some relief I resumed my Hylian form and shot it, causing a chest to appear upside-down on a ledge above us.

"You mean we have to invert the Temple again?" Blaze said flatly. "If we have to do that too much, I'm going to go back to Clock Town."

"No, you're not," Navi said. "I told you, you can't do that until after I've taken you back in time or you'll cause a paradox. Silver can tell you all about how bad those things are."
