Now, we have the fifth chapter to Disembodied Sword! For those of you who have played Skyward Sword, I'm going to skip over the "surface-bird-statue" spiel and get right to Faron Woods. However, they still meet the Goron traveler, and he does give them his knowledge. I may also skip over the "Goddess Cube-Goddess Treasure Chest" thing, as it provides absolutely nothing to the main story. Well, Blaze, it's your turn again. Tell us what happened.

Chapter 5

Into the Woods

After an informative conversation with this rock creature that called itself a Goron, Link and I proceeded into this heavily wooded area. There were trees as far as the eye could see, and long stretches of grass underneath our feet. Fi identified the area as the Faron woods. Why the place has the identical prefix of "Faron", I have no idea.

Silver was resting within the Psycho Sword, probably thinking over the sage's words. His body… controlled by a piece of the Imprisoned… whatever the Imprisoned is, exactly… It's likely just a single step towards the restoration of the whole. The resurrection of the Imprisoned is supposed to bring about an apocalypse and only the four of us… Silver, Link, Zelda and I… had the power to prevent it.

Link was using the Goddess Sword's dowsing ability to search for Zelda, and it was leading us directly to a clearing not far from where we entered the forest. In the center of that clearing, I could make out a hoard of Bokoblins attempting to attack what looked like a tall patch of grass.

"Link, I'll handle this,"

With that, I elegantly leaped into the miniscule crowd, setting letting all of them burn in my flames as Link looked on in amazement and disbelief at my abilities.

"You have power over fire?" he asked incredulously.

I never got to respond, as I then noticed the grass heap actually move. Seconds later, this brown animal with this tan underbelly lifted its head, ruining the disguise the grass growing from its back provided.

"Huh? Why is it suddenly quiet?" it asked. Shortly after this, it took notice of me and Link, immediately becoming scared.

"KWooo-Don't hurt me!"

"Hey, take it easy… I don't want to hurt you."

"You… don't?"

I nodded at him in reassurance. After he calmed down, he explained that he had seen another creature like Link pass him earlier. It had to have been Zelda; that was why the Kikwi gave off a false positive when Link was dowsing for his friend. The Kikwi elder had also met with her, so Link and I headed that way to see if he knows anything.

After locating him and helping him locate his missing Kikwi, he gave Link this Slingshot he could use to lower vines he and I can climb. He also mentioned the Zelda had moved to the Deep Woods, in the direction of a structure he called Skyview Temple. To prepare for the trials ahead, Link made this quick trip back to Skyloft to purchase a bug net from Beedle's Air Shop; Deku Hornets can be fierce if you disturb their hives.

All this time, I had my mind on other things… Like Silver's body, under the command of a part of the Imprisoned. Exactly what IS the Imprisoned? That spiral pit the sealing spike was hidden in… something about this wasn't adding up.

I briefly put these thoughts aside when Link returned from his trip, and proceeded up the vine rope he created to proceed further. As I was about to follow him… I got this strange feeling as if we were being… watched. Yet when I turned to look at the viewing platform, no one was there, although I did see these diamond-shaped energy particles float upward for a brief moment before dissipating. I shrugged it off as anxiety and followed Link into the Deep Woods.

The Deep Woods were a lot more navigable than the Faron Woods were. I could see this grand structure that HAD to be Skyview temple in the distance. Link's dowsing confirmed this, so the two of us continued onward.

Link seemed a little anxious from what I saw. I know he has… feelings… for Zelda… the same way I…

Never mind.

After meeting that Goron researcher again, and learning about the Goddess Cubes, Link and I made it to the doorway of Skyview Temple.

"Well… this is it," I allowed myself to state.

"Not yet, Blaze," the Hylian remarked. "We still have to find a way to open this door."

I glanced up towards the ceiling of the shelter, and noticed this red crystal suspended in midair. Link noticed this thing as well, and after firing his slingshot at it, the door to the temple swung open. I cast the green-clad Hylian a nervous glance, but he plastered a determined look on his face, and descended into the temple. I followed him quickly, although I couldn't shake the feeling something bad would happen.

Well, hope you like this chapter! Next, Link, Blaze, and Silver solve the puzzles of Skyview Temple, and meet Ghirahim. Please review.
