"Pan! Where are you? Please come out, I'm sorry on what I said." Bethany yelled as she flew around Skyloft then flew towards the Knight Academy. When Razor landed Bethany jumped off and ran into the building to go find the Headmaster Citra, she ran down a hall into a oval-shaped room full of books and a table in the middle decorated with some flowers, Citra was looking at some books until Bethany ran in, he turned around to see Bethany panting.

"Well, did you find her?" He asked.

"There's no sign of her, it's like she vanished!" she exclaimed.

"Don't worry, we'll find her, it'll probably take time." he replied trying to keep his student calm while Jack ran into the room, Jack is Kato's older brother, Jack is tall with red hair and freckles, his cloths looked a lot like his grandfather Cawlins.

"Headmaster Citra, I think I know what happened to Pan!' he said urgently. Citra and Bethany were shocked by the news.

"Well spit it out Jack, Pan has been missing for a bit and we need to know where she is and if she`s okay!" Citra beckoned as Jack looked down at the ground sadly.

"Well sir, I really don't know where she is to be honest or if she's okay, all I found was this." he said pulling out the Skyward Sword. Bethany gasped and took the sword out of Jack`s hands.

"Where did you find this?!" Bethany yelled looking terrified as ever ( like in a horror movie).

"I found it at the floating waterfall platform, my theory on what happened to Pan is she was taken." Jack replied.

"By who, Jack?" Citra asked worried.

"I... I don't know who took." he replied sadly looking down at the ground.

"Bethany, when you were on the surface with Pan, did you encounter anyone who might be a suspect on who kidnapped her?" Citra asked Bethany in a serious voice. Bethany`s eyes widened in horror, she looked ar the headmaster and nodded slowly.

"Yes I do, he calls himself Sitham, he said he was looking for the Twilight Sage to revive his masters from the Master Sword." she said.

"Maybe this Sitham guy did it, if he did though how are we gonna find Pan they could be anywhere." Jack asked panicking.

"Hold on, let's think for a moment, if Sitham said he was looking for the Twilight Sage not the Twilight Hero, why would he take Pan if she was the Twilight Hero, it doesn't make sense." Bethany said as Citra got an old book from the shelf.

"Maybe it does make sense, read the information of the where abouts to where the reborn sages are in the legend." Citra said as he handed the book to Jack who took it and opened it up and began to read.

Those who seek the reborn sages listen well, I guide you from the edge of time to the present, the sage born of fire has a spirit of strength, boastful, extroverted, and also the one with a sky guardian of red as molten lava. The Sage made of water is a trustworthy soul with a mixture of reliability and conservative entwined to it, and has a sky guardian of green as light green meadows. The next one, the sage created of electricity has the soul of being sensitivity and a logical being, one with the sky guardian the color of blue as crystal clear water. The head Sage you prefer to call her, a right hand servant of me, the Sage born of the silver moon, she is a very imaginative and creative one, she is a mortal with a silver sky guardian, three others I shall tell in words but in memory in the mind of a silver spirited one. For now I bid you farewell,

Your Goddess, Hylia

Jack stared at the book in shock at it's words, it was written from the goddess herself. He looked up at both the headmaster and Bethany and spoke is a soft but low and firm tone to them.

"I know who the three sages are." he said as they stared at him in shock.

"Wait you're saying that book told who was the sages?" Bethany questioned crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well not exactly, it says what color their loftwings are and what their personality traits are, It says the reborn Eldin sage has a red loftwing the shade of molten lava, what ever that is." Jack replied at Citra put his index finger to his chin.

"It must be talking about Flarey then, I bet you anything that she's the Eldin sage reborn, besides who else has a bright red loftwing and the mission that Pan was doing for the sages might explain her disappearance for a few days now." He said as Bethany nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, you could be right, hey Jack was does it say about the other two?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"It says that the Lanayru sage reborn has a blue loftwing while the Faron sage has a green one." he replied looking through the book.

"So Kato and Naidni must be the other two." Citra said.

"That's not all that the book said it tells me information about the Twilight sage as well." he said.

"What the, let me see." she demanded taking the book from Jack and looking through it.

"Okay okay, don't have to be miss rudeness." he murmured.

"That will be enough from you Jack." Citra warned as Bethany's eyes grew big.

"He's right it says something about the Twilight Sage reborn also, it says the Sage born of the silver moon, she is a very imaginative and creative one, she is a mortal with a silver sky guardian, could she mean Pan? She is the only one with a silver loftwing out of all of us." Bethany said unsure as Citra shook his head.

"No that's impossible, she's the Twilight Hero." he said as Bethany's heart sank.

"Hey instead of fighting over who's who, let's try to figure out how we're going to find Pan." Jack suggested getting impatient as Bethany got an idea.

"Fi, come out, I need you." she called at the sword as the blue figure appeared.

"How may I assist you Miss Bethany, since Miss Pan is absent at this time." she asked as Citra and Jack looked at her in complete awe.

"Pan was taken by Sitham, I need you to do that dowse thing to find her, will you help us?" Bethany asked.

"Affirmative, I will add Miss Pan as a dowsing option." Fi concluded and disappeared into the sword. Bethany ran out of the room outside and untethered the sword and pointed it in different directions until the sword started to glow bright at the thunderhead. Citra and Jack came outside to see if Bethany got any readings on Pan.

"Did it work?" Jack asked.

"Yeah but, it was pointing towards the thunderhead though." she replied.

"So that means Pan is somewhere in the thunderhead, we'll send one over there." Citra said as Bethany turned quickly to him with pleading eyes.

"Let me go rescue her, It's my fault, if I hadn't said those words, she would be still with us." she pleaded.

"Well, if you insist it's your duty to go find Pan, then I give you my full support." Citra replied as she smiled while Jack walked up to her.

"Can I help you, my little brother cares a lot about her, and I really want to help." Jack asked nicely.

"By all means Jack." Bethany said as they both smiled at each other and ran off the platform and called their loftwings and flew to the thunderhead.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Pan, wake up, time to go." a voice said.

"*moan* Huh?" Pan said as she opened her eyes and looked up to see Sitham looking down at her with black soulless eyes while towering over her.

"Time to go to the Earth Spring like I said the other day." he said smiling evilly at her while picking her up from the ground and placing Pan on her feet then grabbed her arm that was closest to him and snapped his fingers, they teleported away to a small area, enclosed by cliffs.

Even though it wasn't much it was hot, though. Pan saw rivers of lava flowing here and there, creating a labyrinth of ground and molten earth. As Pan was looking in awe, Sitham lightly pulled on her arm to get her attention, she turned to see him gesture her to move onward, she nodded slowly then they started to proceed onward to the Earth Spring.

They walked through many pathways, as they were walking through a tunnel Sitham stopped and turned to Pan and smirked evilly at her.

"Pan do you remember what Bethany said last to you before you were brought in my clutches?" he asked, she raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Yeah, I do, where are you going with this?" she questioned almost frightened, he smiled and said.

"Well I am the reason why she said that, when you and that twig were leaving the Skyview Temple I saw your wings when you were lifting that twig of a friend of yours, I thought up the idea to see if you were the Twilight Sage by possessing your friend to say those things." he said while Pan was got furious with him, he made her new friend hate her just to find out if she was Twilight Sage, that just made her sick with anger.

"You're the reason why Bethany hates me? How could you, speaking of that how did you possess her in the first place?" she said almost yelling.

"Simple really, when I slammed her into the wall at the temple, the force I used had a bit of my influence in it just in case it might come in handy, and it did. Now that I cleared up that why don't we keep on going." he replied as he yanked her through the tunnel and went up an air shaft to see a bridge which on the other side led to a cave pathway leading Sitham and Pan were walking, a few energy waves hit Sitham.

"Argh!" Sitham growled as he fell to the ground with a thud! They weren't enough to kill him but knock him out.

"Are you alright your highness?!" a voice asked as Pan looked around to see who said it.

"Up here!" the voice yelled as Pan looked up at the archway to see a women that had very short blonde hair with tanned skin and was wearing dark cloths. The women jumped down onto the bridge and walked to and introduced herself.

"I am Impa, servant of the Goddess and the Twilight Sage Aqune." she said bowing.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Pan." she politely introduced herself.

"I am here to escort you to the spring to forfill your part of the mission of the Twilight Sage, I will be your protector from danger such as Sitham and get you safley to the Earth Spring and to the Desert Spring were you need to go next, you can not go to your friends until you go all to the Springs to receive the Sacred weapons, understood?" Impa said as Pan nodded as they proceeded to the Sacred Earth Spring.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"So this is where Pan is? Wow! It's more of a cage than a paradise." Bethany said looking around (A.N. They are at bug paradise if you don't know).

" It is a cage, a cage for bugs and people." Jack said as they heard voices coming from above.

"Someone's here." Jack whispered to Bethany.

"Maybe it's Pan, let's get her." Bethany whispered as she was going to climb up but was stopped by Jack.

"Wait! We can't just rush into things, what if Sitham is up there with her, what are we going to do if he sees us, huh?" He asked concerned as Bethany got an idea.

"We can grab Sitham to buy Pan time to fly away and escape, that shouldn't be too hard for us." She suggested.

"Okay, sounds like a good plan, I think? Let's do it." Jack said climbing up on a ledge and hid behind a tree with her.

"On the count of three; one, Two, THREE! AAHH!" They said as a net became beneath them and trapped them up in the air.

"Aha! Caught you demon, now let that girl with the wings go now!" A voice yelled as Jack and Bethany saw two boys in front of them, one was tall, really skinny, and had blonde hair, the other one was small, chubby, and had blue hair.

"Huh? Hey Strich, I think we caught the wrong pair." The chubby one said.

"Yeah, I think you're right Cawlin." Strich said as they both turned to Jack and Bethany who were in the net.

"Who are you two?" Cawlin asked.

"I'm Bethany and this is Jack, we're looking for Pan, she's a girl with dark brown hair and silver wings." Bethany said.

"We seen her! She was held at the center of this island, but that freak with black hair, clothes, and grey skin took her to the Earth Spring." Strich exclaimed.

"Wait, isn't the Earth Spring in the Eldin region at Eldin Volcano?" Jack asked.

"It is so, that means she must be there!" Bethany exclaimed.

"Yeah but I heard that Eldon Volcano is like a labyrinth, we're gonna need an expert on getting through that place, but where are we going find one at a time like this?" Jack asked.

"We can help, Cawlin here studied the pathway of Eldon Volcano since he is so interested in it."Strich said.

"Yeah so we'll help you find your friend, now let's get you out of the net." Cawlin exclaimed as he lowered them from the net, once Jack and Bethany got out of the net they smiled at each other.

"Hey um Jack, isn't Cawlin your grandfather?" Bethany asked.

"Yeah of course he is my grandfather Bethany, my dad is his son." Jack said.

"Indeed he is." Cawlin replied.

"Question though, how do you look that young but be so... Old?" Bethany asked confused.

"Easy, since our friend Zelda was the Goddess Hylia reborn she blessed this island to give us immortality, but if the island got destroyed we would turn to dust."

"Oh, charming story."

"Well that's enough talking with your girlfriend Jack now it's time to save your friend!"

"Oh no, she's not my girlfriend, we're just friends really." Jack replied blushing as they ran off the edge and called for their Loftwings and headed for the red column.

"Don't worry Pan we'll save you!" Bethany stated." I promise."

A.N. The truth of the betrayal has been revealed, an unexpected family reunion between Jack and Cawlin, and Pan is really the magnificant Twilight sage Aqune reborn but who are the other three sages? Fine out in the next chapter, and yes I know it has some Twilight Princess elements to it and some Ocarina of Time Elements, but it's good that there is a mixture in this story, see ya next time.
