Chapter 3: Break out to Faron Woods
It's been five days already and still Citra insists that she stay until the weather down on the surface clears up, so she goes for a flight around Skyloft.
*sigh* When will I leave to carry out my quest, I feel like Citra`s trying to keep me here." Pan said as a bright flash of light came the Light Tower.
"Huh? What's that?" she said starting to fly towards the tower, she landed on the platform and saw a black sword with Wings on it, she walked towards it pulling it and looked at it, then a black and yellow sword satchel appeared on her right hip, then placed the sword there as it flashed once and a humanoid women appeared in front of her.
"Come and follow me to the Goddess Harp." she said as she flew in the opposite direction of Pan who decide to follow away from Skyloft towards the giant thunderhead cloud Pan once entered a week they entered they saw an island in the distance, a tower with vines growing on it, and they on the plaza of the island.
" Go inside and you will find the Goddess Harp and I'll explain everything." the women said pointing at the small doorway then returning to the sword.
Pan looked down at the sword and then looked up and walked towards the tiny crawl space. She crouched down on all fours and crawled inside.
Once she was in side she saw a golden harp at the other side of colossal room, she walked towards it and lift it up to her face, then the humanoid women from the sword appeared again, Pan was shocked by this, she wanted to have her questions answered.
"Who are you? And why did you lead me to here?" Pan asked
" I am Fi spirit of the skyward sword you that have at your side. I led you here to retake the Goddess Harp to help you in your quest of the Twilight sage." Fi said.
" Wait you're the one who aided my grandfather, Link on his quest?" Pan said.
" I am and it is your turn for greatness like him, I know who must assist you in your quest, she is the called Bethany." Fi said as she saw Pan had a shocked look on her face.
" Are you sure, me and Bethany are more like enemies than friends, but if she`s part of the Twilight sages mission, I guess I'll ask her." Pan said.
"Excellent, we'll go get her, we'll leave for the three regions at dawn tomorrow." Fi said as she went inside the sword once more. Pan smiled left the island to see an enemy at Skyloft that would probably be soon her friend.
In the distance a cloaked figure was watching Pan leave." Well I think I might have found Aqune, there will be interesting events that will soon come." he said disappearing into diamonds.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
*knock*knock* Pan went on the door as it was opened by Bethany. When she saw Pan she tried to close it but Pan put her foot between the door frame." What do you want loser, to kick me out of another race?" Bethany asked annoyed.
" About that I'm really sorry but you were getting on my nerves." Pan said.
"Is that why you came her, to say I'm annoying?" Bethany asked more agitated.
" No, it's just I need to talk to you." Pan said as she showed Bethany her wings, then saw Bethany had a shocked look on her face.
" What's with the wings?" she asked.
" I'll explain but I'll make it short. I was chosen as the Twilight sage hero to awaken the other three sages and I must try to find the Twilight sage as well and your part of it, so I need you to help me to do so, will you help me?" Pan asked.
"Why should I help you? so you could get all the credit?" Bethany asked.
" I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing this to save Skyloft and the surface, if you just want to stay here and be spoiled then fine, but if you do want to come then I will at the plaza tomorrow at dawn, so pick your choice." Pan said as she left.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The sun was coming up and Pan was already to go.
" I guess she doesn't want to..." Pan was cut off by a holler.
"Don't you dare leave me Pan!" Bethany yelled as Pan smiled.
"What took you so long?" she asked.
"One of my parents woke up, I had to wait a bit until they went back to sleep, now can we go on the journey?" she asked Pan as she nodded.
" Let's go!" Pan said as they both ran off the platform as Bethany`s loftwing caught and Pan`s wing's snapped open gliding her away from their home.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
" I can't believe we're doing this, well at least we have a good reason why we left, right Pan?" Bethany asked looking at Pan as she nodded then looked down frowning.
" What's wrong?" she asked Pan.
" Well the reason why I got these wings is because something black and metallic attacked me and Stormbreaker, and I haven't seen her for a while now and that worries me."Pan said as a flash of light and a bang interrupted their conversation, they both let out a yell of surprise, looking forwards, there was a black and brown tornado.
"Gaahh! Bethany yelled as grasped the neck of her loftwing as Pan was pulled down, then Bethany was starting to get pulled down too. Pan and Bethany's loftwing tried to stay in the air as long as they can until they gave in.
"Pan!" Bethany yelled as they fell beneath the clouds.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
*groan* "Where am I?" Pan said as she looked around to see a giant statue of the Goddess towering over her, then Fi appeared.
"Master we have arrived at the Sealed Grounds, I highly recommend you check your map."she said in her robotic voice then returned to the sword. Pan soon checked her map to see a few different regions on it.
" Well we better get going to the Sealed Temple if we want complete our quest, or would you prefer to rest from the unexpected event, Bethany? Pan asked Bethany but heard no reply.
"Huh? Hey Bethany, you there?" Pan asked Bethany to see she wasn't there.
"Fi can you come out?" Pan asked as Fi came out once more.
" Do you know where Bethany is?" she asked.
"Negative, but I could add her to your dowsing ability if you wish? Fi asked as Pan nodded then returned to the sword and Pan pulled it out while a bright light grew from the sword when she faced it towards the temple, she soon tethered the sword back in and walked cautiosly.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The door creaked open as Pan entered the old temple, inside it was full of vines, on the right there was a door that led outside, and on the left was a small room that had a tree going in it, but in the front of her, Pan saw a small flight of stairs that lead to an elderly women with three other people.
The tallest man looked a bit wrinkly and had an odd hairstyle, the other man was less wrinkly than the taller one and he had a trimmed beard, the elderly women beside him sandy blonde hair with bangs, and the other elderly women had short hair tied in pigtails.
"Ah, you must be Pan, your friend Bethany told us a lot about you, I am Adlez." one of the elder women said as Pan had a shocked look on her face.
"Wait you're Adlez?" Pan asked
"Yes I am and I know you have wings like Kato does and you wish to know what you must do in your quest." she said.
" That's true, what do I do in order to find my friends?" Pan asked
"You must go to Skyview Temple to its curse, then pray at the spring for memories hidden within you and when you come back, I will tell you where the next curse is, for now go through that door on your to go to Faron woods." Adlez said.
" Thank you, as much as I want to ask how Kato got wings, I'll know in the future." pan said as she left the temple.
"Why didn't you tell her who her father is?" Lalah asked coming behind a column.
"Because she'll know soon enough." Adlez said frowning.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Pan stopped at the edge of a small cliff and saw several figures in a clearing. One, much larger than the rest, stood in the middle ,unarmed, trying to shoo off about five red creatures.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" she yelled drawing her sword and jumped down getting the monsters attention, then they started to growl and screech as they moved closer. Pan began to slash at them until the last one was dead. The large brown creature dropped his arms in relief and said.
"Thanks for saving me bud, this is the second time in my life I got saved from those monsters, anyways I'm Gorko the Goron." the creature said.
"I'm Pan, it's nice to meet you Gorko." she replied.
"Say, you kind of look like that purple creature I passed, it said something about Skyview Temple." Gorko said
"Hm, maybe that was Bethany that passed you! But anyway what are you doing here?" Pan asked.
"I've been researching why the statue hasn't been glowing since my friend Link defeated Demise." he said as he showed the statue to Pan. When she walked towards it, the statue began to glow once more.
"Woah!... Did you see that? It started to glow again." Gorko said excitedly.
"It's amazing alright, but I better get going on my quest, bye Gorko good luck on your research." Pan said as she snapped her wings out and flew to Faron Woods.
"I hope Bethany is alright. Nah, she can take care of herself. I shouldn't worry about her." Pan said to herself as she flew on.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
" Miss Pan; we have arrived at Faron woods." Fi said as Pan was staring in awe at the tree that root in the center of the woods. It was bigger than the statue of the goddess back at the Sealed Grounds.
" It's logical that the lush plant life and water resources have attracted animal spiecies to the region." Fi said. She flipped up and over into the sword.
"Man I could get used to a place like this." Pan said as walked passed another bird statue and then swung over a small gap, landing on the other side, only to hear the familiar screeching again.
" MY gosh, how many of those guys are there?" pan asked herself as she neared where the noise came from and could see two monsters facing some sort of plant growth. but it was shaking.
"It's moving?" she said to loud getting the twos attention.
"Uh-oh!" she said as she pulled out her sword and ran towards them and slashed at both of them while doing a fatal blow on one of them and brought out her wings as the second monsters eyes widened then ran like it was going to tell someone else something.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" she yelled as she slashed the last one to bits, she wipe the sweat from her head then walked towards the plant that was shaking.
"Hey, you alright?" Pan asked the bush as it got up. It revealed a rodent with a bush on its back, when it sw Pan it squealed.
"Another monster, I didn't know"... but the rodent was cut off when Pan said.
"I'm not a monster!" Pan protested.
"Kwee... you're not a monster?" It asked.
"No, if I was, why would I have saved you from those other two monsters?" she asked the little rodent plant. It thought about what she said and then said.
"I'm really sorry, kwee.. anyway I'm Machi." he said.
"I'm Pan, uh... Are there any more of you?" she asked
"Oh yes , there's Oolo, Lopsa, Erla, and there's the Kikwi elder, Bucha." Machi replied.
" Do you Know where they are? Because I heard in my grandfather's travels from others that he meet a species called the Kikwis." she asked.
" I don't know, I'm worried about them, can you please find them you look like you're good at finding lost people?" Machi pleaded as Fi flipped out and Machi jumped in suprise.
" In order to find them I granted you the ability to dowse." Fi said flipping back into the sword. Pan pointed it in four different places started with the closest one. It didn't take long to find the three Kikwis, and it gave Pan thorough knowledge of how to get through Faron Woods.
A few monsters distracted pan, but the Keese, Chuchus, Deku-babas, and the bokoblins were easy now that Pan knew how to deal with them.
Then Pan noticed a large white building in the corner of the forest and it seemed a path behind it lead deeper into the forest. When Pan found her way back to the elder, swinging her way across a gap to get to him, the large Kikwi was pleased.
" Thank you so much for finding the other Kikwis, now I remember your father, long when he came here he was looking for your grandmother which I rescued from those red monsters, sadly I didn't remember because I was worried about my fellow Kikwis, bet he volunteered to find them, so he did and said all of them were alright, I felt my worries slip away and I told him she went to the path by the Skyview Platform to get to the Skyview Temple, then he went off to find her." Bucha said.
" Hey, I need to get to the Skyview Temple to pray ther and break the curse." Pan said.
" Oh I almost forgot, here's your prize." he said raising his arms as Pan realized what he was doing, she tucked and rolled out of the way as the Kikwi elder toppled over and the plant on his back sprouted showing a slingshot, Pan jumped on his back and picked it up and got off his back as he resumed standing.
" Good luck Pan I think your parents will be proud of you." he said as she went to the viewing platform, she saw a rolled up vine and hit it with a single deku nut, the vine untwined then Pan swung up on the higher ledge then looked forwards to look at the tunnel then entered.
In the distance on top of the viewing platform, a hooded boy was watching Pan head towards the temple.
" Yes Pan, go on your quest to forfill your destiny to bring back Demise and your father, also your heart will belong to darkness, it's true essance." he said as he desolved into diamonds laughing evilly.
