Chapter 4: Kidnapped after a Temple Adveture

Pan came out of a tunnel to see a round area that had a tree in the center with lot of bushes surrounding it. Pan defeated a few monsters until she came across a tight rope with wasps above it,but it didn't bother Pan she just hit it with deku nuts. Then she climbed up on a ledge and saw a cube.

"Fi", an said as the blue figure flipped out of the black sword.

"t is a goddess cube,they created by the goddess and when hit with a d skyward strike they unlock treasure above at skyloft", Fi concluded then flipped back into the sword. Pan raised her sword as it began to glow and she striked the cube, it faded and turned into a light that shot into the sky. Pan noticed a temple like building.

"That must be Skyview Temple",Pan said as she walked towards the temple.

"Hey what took you so long Pan? I've been waiting here for ages",a familiar voice Pan looked to see where it came from.

"Wait Bethany is that you?" she asked as her friend jumped out a tree.

"Hey can we head inside now, I'm dying to see the inside of this place." she asked eagerly. Pan smiled and nodded.

"Let's go." Pan replied as they went up to open the door, but it wouldn't budge, Pan soon noticed a pink jem and hit it with her sling shot. It's color turned grayish and spun into several diamonds, then the doors creaked open.

"Well that was creepy." Bethany said as they both looked down the flight of steps that lead deeper and they started to walk down them. Bethany brought out a Blade Staff while Pan pulled out the Skyward sword then she noticed Bethany's weapon.

"Where did you get that?" she asked

"I got this from the elder Anirtak, I knew how to use it already because I took some lessons at the Knight Academy, so you don't have to protect me." she replied as they saw more stairs leading deeper into the temple. Fi flipped out of the sword facing both Pan and Bethany.

"Miss Pan and Bethany. I have bad news, the auras of many creatures reverberate through out this temple. There will be no outside help for yu in case of an emergency. Given the situation, I suggest you proceed with the out most caution." she said as she disappeared back into the sword.

"Well so much for being alone in here." Bethany said as they went down more steps.

The only thing that Pan worried in there was the giant spider webs, there was little spiders up in Skyloft, but they didn't make big enough webs to trap a person with wings, but they still continued onward inside the temple.

It took some mind-stretching and brain puzzles to finally make it to the largest room in the temple, Pan and Bethany into a sort of grove. They unlocked the frist door they'd came to, they both entered a large area with a huge bird statue standing in the middle.

" I wonder what's in there?" Pan said curiously, bending down and lift the door, to see a treasure chest unopened. Pan walked towards the treasure chest and flipped it open to find a mechanical bug. Fi appeared.

"Miss Pan, from the style and mechanism of this object, it is a remote-control flying tool. The sharp pincers on the front are strong enough to cut through rope and string. It has little endurance and can land weak blows on small enemies." she concluded flipping up and away again.

"Okay, since you're probably going to do the death threating stuff you can have it." Bethany replied as Pan tucked it away. They went out of the room, then went down a pathway and up another circular room. It didn't take long at all for them to reach another large room, not unlike the size of the bird statue one.

They went one at a time, crossing the tight rope. Below them was a gaping abyss, dark and likely full of fungi like the rest of the temple was. Ahead of them was a large golden door, shut tight and sealed. When they finally made it to the other side, Pan pushed on the door to no avail.

"Great, now we're going to have to look for a key." Pan said frustrated.

"Way ahead of you, the elder Esoorg gave me this." Bethany said pulling out a golden carving and walked up to the opening of the door and placing the carving there. They stood back as the door opened. They walked in slowly and Bethany said.

" Open sesame." she said sarcastically.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

As Pan and Bethany approached the door, they were stopped by a bright light. When it faded they were in the presence of a fifteen year old-looking boy. He had grey skin and long black hair, he wore a black body suit with a purple cape. The odd boy had his back to them.

"Look who it is... the mighty hero of the Twilight sage and her partner." he said turning and looking straight at them.

" I thought I destroyed you with that tornado I whipped up for you two to get destroyed by since Pan here was revived by that foul bird of hers, I am curious that you were resurrected by the bird though." he said smirking.

"Wait you did that to Pan and me?" Bethany asked.

" Why yes I did, I was looking for the Twilight sage so she could revive my masters from that infernal sword that Pan has!" he yelled pointing at the Master sword as Pan was trying to bottle up her anger, but gave a small snarl and drew her sword and shield.

" How dare you do that to Stormbreaker, she's been missing since your attempt to kill me, now who are you?!" Pan yelled as the boy chuckled.

"Oh, how rude of me to not "introduce" myself, I am the Demon Prince Sitham, the very person that will love to torture you but, I am curious Pan how strong are you?" Sitham asked Pan.

" Well why don't you fight me so I could find out." he said approaching her but Bethany got in between them.

" If you want to fight her, you're going to have to take me on first." she said. He looked at her for a second than swiped his hand a distance away from her and she was hit with an invisible force and was thrown into the wall falling unconscious.

"I win." he said as he chuckled and made a load roar making his cape disappear into millions of diamonds. and the fight began. Pan attacked first. She swung her sword at him, but he caught it and held it in place with two fingers, yanking the sword out of her hand effortlessly.

" So long as you telegraph your attacks like the novice you are, you'll never land a blow." he said as he threw the sword at Pan who dodged it. She picked it up from the ground, she thought about Sitham said then got an idea. She raised her sword and pretended to attack one way then she quickly slashed the opposite direction and caused Sitham to knock back to a wall but landed on his.

He snapped his fingers and summoned a black repier sword and disapeared, reappearing hitting Pan square in the back and disappearing again, but Pan dodged then raised her sword, which began to glow blue, she released it and it came at Sitham as a crescent shaped wave. Sitham dodged, but was to late to defend himself against Pan as she slashed at his stomach. He backed away and said.

" I guess you do know how to fight, I hope you survive the next time we meet, because you'll die by my hand, Sky child." he said disappearing. Pan looked around for him then ran to Bethany.

"You okay?" she asked as Bethany began to wake up.

"*groan* I'm fine but, what happened?" Bethany asked as she stood up.

" Sitham knocked you out and I fought him until he fled, now that the curse is gone let's go to the spring Adlez mentioned." Pan replied as she and Bethany walked towards the flashing door which faded away to see a case of stairs to the spring.

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

" Hey Bethany wait up!" Pan yelled as she got up the stairs and gasped at the scenery. It was a contrast within the temple. Small stone platforms led towards a shrine of the goddess at the end, and a couple of trees grew out of the water, which was only a couple of feet deep, if that. Cliffs surrounded them, deep forest at the top , and at the end of the spring were various waterfalls, filling the area.

"WOW! Who knew it was worth it going through that temple." Pan said.

"Hey Pan don't you have to pray at the shrine?" Bethany asked.

"Yeah, I do." she replied as she walked to the shrine and went down on her knees, closed her eyes, and clapped her hands together and let out her wings. Pan was soon engulfed by a light then it faded, she opened her eyes, to see a blue sword in her lap, it had blue liquid energy going through the middle, Fi soon appeared.

" Miss Pan, this is one of the sacred weapons entrusted to the Sages, this one is called the twin bladed water sword, this is supposed to be wielded by the Faron sage to destroy Demise once and for all, another thing I should conform you about, strike the hylian crest to get a holy message." Fi concluded then returned to the sword. Pan drew the Skyward sword and raised it skyward until it glowed and released it on the crest. Fi appeared again.

" Miss Pan, I have a message from the Twilight Sage I will translate it for you. ( The Twilight Hero who descends from the clouds, you travel to three places to purify your body. You stand in one of these places: Skyview Spring. The second known as the Earth Spring. This second spring is hidden deep within the scorched earth of Eldin. The Twilight Hero, ever mindful of the heavy task entrusted to you set out for this sacred place.) Fi concluded as she returned to the sword.

Pan was in a slight daze as if under a spell, Bethany walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Pan, you okay?"she asked.

"Yeah just, WOW! The memories Adlez mentioned I would are amazing, but some of it is war." she replied holding her head.

"War?" Bethany repeated confused.

"Yeah, It's like the war in the legend how Hylia was at war with Demise and created Skyloft to protect the Triforce." she replied as Bethany nodded.

"Well let's put that aside for now, let's head back up to Skyloft." Bethany suggested.

" Yeah I agree, but I'm a bit worried because what will your parents think of you sneaking off and what will the headmaster think?" Pan said worried.

" Well, they could ground us, but there is one thing they can't keep us from doing, saving Skyloft." Bethany said as Pan smiled.

"Thanks Bethany for going on this quest with me, but I am curious though, why didn't you stay at Skyloft where it was safe?" Pan asked.

"Because is there much adventure up there?No. All my life I wanted to go on an adventure on the surface and you gave me that chance to do so and I took it." she replied.

"Well I'm glad I gave you that chance, anyway let's go home." Pan said as her wings spread out and picked up Bethany bring her to the skies so she could call her bird, once she did, they were off towards home.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

When Pan and Bethany returned they were greeted by a pair of angry parents and a headmaster.

" Are you out of your mind Bethany, you scared me and your mother, you could've got hurt." her father said in an angry tone.

"I'm sorry, I was chosen to go on a quest and I wanted to go on an adventure and Pan..."

" And Pan nothing! You never are never go to the surface again is that clear!?" her mother yelled as Bethany was full of tears.

"Yes, I understand." she replied sadly then her expression changed to a dark look at Pan.

"Bethany, I'm so sorry, I didn't..." Pan was cut off by Bethany.

"Sorry for what? I don't know how you knew about that but, You are nothing you lied to me, you build up this scam to trick me and I thought of you as a friend, but I was wrong, you will always be a freak with wings! Hmph, have fun with your pathetic game, freak." Bethany said smirking and walked away. Pan was shocked at what she heard her say to her, she was a freak with wings, she was worthless, Pan soon started to form tears.

" What did you know that she was talking about Pan?" Bethanys father asked worried.

" She always wanted to go on an adventure to the surface, she said she never liked to fly above the clouds but explore beneath them, well what do I know I'm just a pathetic freak with wings like Bethany said."Pan replied as tears formed in her eyes." I'm sorry, I won't bother her again, just tell her she won't be seeing me any time soon."

Then she ran off, Citra and Bethany's mother tried to catch up but Pan snapped her wings open and flew to the top of the floating platform that formed a waterfall.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Pan was looking at her reflection in the water of the platform. She been staring at herself in misery ever since Bethany said she was worthless, she sighed to herself as she heard Citra and Bethany's parents yell for her to come down but she didn't.

"Why was I chosen for this? Someone more capable of not messing up and was not a freak with wings should have been chosen for this. Why me?" she growled at herself then threw a rock at the relfection as she stood up and looked at herself in the reflection of the water some more.

But this time something there shouldn't have been there, a second familiar face was there, this face belonged to Sitham!

"Hello Pan, what a pleasure of seeing you here, may I have a, little, chat with, you? I'm really dying say is. What majestic wings you have there." he said through the reflection.

Pan gasped as her eyes widened in horror at the reflection and stepped back in terror, then her mouth was covered by a hand to muffle her screams so no one could hear her while another wrapped around both of her arms to keep her from detaching the hand on her mouth.

Sitham lifted her off the ground making her dangle her feet a few inches, she struggled to break free, but the demon boys arms were too strong!

She finally stopped struggling after a few minutes and saw Bethany looking for something but couldn't see them after Sitham took a few steps back. She felt his warm breath against her neck as he lowered his head closer to her ear, she then heard him chuckle evilly and said.

"Oh Pan, It's really sad that you lost your so called friend,she definitely left you breathless with her words, sadly she didn't know she handed you over to me, she made you feel lost in darkness and all alone, you do realize you look like easy prey when all alone, out of anyones sight, and best of all, no one to come to your aid." Sitham whispered in her ear, she looked down sadly.

" He's right, because of what she said to me, she did practically hand me over to him, I don't even know who to trust anymore." she thought in her head as her captor jerked her out of her thoughts, she looked at him through the corner of her eye to see him smiling evilly back at her.

"If you are curious how I found you or why I'm here I"ll answer it for you, I was out searching for the Twilight Sage above the clouds I didn't find a single clue as to where she was." He said pretending to have sad in his voice."But! When I came across you, You had silver wings! The other sages have wings the color of the sacred flames but, the Twilight Sage has silver."

"Where is he going with this?" Pan asked couriously in her head.

"We'll see if you're the Twilight sage at all with this." he said letting go of her mouth and pulling out a Silver Hylian Crest amulet and placed it towards her face.

" Do not move an inch or scream for help or you will regret it dearly." he said in a dark tone, Pan thought about her options, even though she fought him she could tell he had way more potential than how much he showed with their duel, so she decided to do what she was told and didn't move as the crest glowed as Sitham chuckled evilly while Pans eyes widened.

"It's glowing! I'm who he's been looking for!" she mentally screamed in her head.

"So it is you Pan, you are the Twilight Sage I've been looking for ever since the day I've been created, but I still need you to have you're powers fully so I will personally escort you to the Earth and Desert Springs, but first let's go somewhere that they will never find you at while your in my possession." he said as he snapped his fingers and they both teleported away from the Platform into a cave like room.

It had a few halls and a hole on the roof of the cave and an entrance at the top of a ledge down one of the halls and a crawl space exit in another. Sitham then set Pan gently on the ground.

"We'll be spending the night here, I'll be at the top to see if anyone tries to comes even near here." he said as Pan got up and distanced herself from him.

"Sorry to disapoint you, but I'm not staying here any longer with you."she replied as she tried to scramble for the door shaped entrance but, Sitham snapped his fingers and a diamond patterned wall kept her from leaving the cave, it also blocked the crawl space and the hole in the roof.

"No no, you can't leave here without me, so your little daring escape failed miserably, I think we'll leave for Eldin volcano at dawn since you're so excited to obtain the rest of your powers." he said as he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Pan soon jumped down and walked cautiously walked to the middle of the room and sat down on her knees with her hands in her lap and her wings folded, she looked at the ground at the ground sadly.

" Why does he even bother trying to keep people away from me? Everyone hates me, they probably forgotten all about me." she thought sadly as she looked around the room.

"I can't save myself because I dropped the Skyward Sword at the water platform, so I guess I'm in his custody until someone comes to my rescue, if anyone does." she thought as she layed down with one wing over her like a blanket and fell asleep on the cold hard floor while figure in black clothes watched her.

"Do not worry your grace, I will save from this terrible fate as soon as the Demon Prince lowers his guard, I will meet you at the bridge in Eldin." she said then went over the edge and fell beneath the clouds.

"Once I have recovered you from his posesion, I will help you carry out your mission as the Twilight Sage, if the child that handed you to darkness tries to confront you I will keep her from breaking your heart anymore than she already has." she said as she was free falling and disappeared beneath the sea of clouds.
