Prepare to Fi
You stay calm. You take a deep breath, and realize that if you're in Hyrule, maybe you can be the hero. But then, you ask the spirit something. "What happens if I run out of hearts? Will I have a fairy that pesters me every five minutes?"

"I do not understand what you mean by 'hearts'. And for your second question, sentient fairies live in the fairy fountains scattered across the surface, and mainly keep to themselves."

"That's a relief," you say. You then begin to walk over to the sword. "So, I pull this, and-" Immediately, the spirit girl that guided you to the statue appears, coming out of the sword. She reminds you of the blade on the pedestal, but with different colors. She has a light blue and deep purple body that seems to radiate hope. Her arms, more like wings than anything else, float to her side.

She stands up from her crouched position and begins floating in the air. "Fi is the name I was given, Dominam," she explains. "I was created to serve you throughout this great mission that shall affect both you and the one who arrived with you." She turns silently to the blade. "I shall explain more, but now is the time for action. You must take up this sword and set out in pursuit of your friend, as others are wildly searching for her. Kyouko Sakura is alive."

The Goddess Sword
You wrap both your hands around the blade, feeling it hum against your fingertips as soon as they brush against the hilt. You inhale deeply, and tug on the sword. It comes out surprisingly easy, and you realize something. You may have been stupid in Mitakihara, and you're unable to be a hero as a magical girl, but... maybe you can have a small chance here, if you find a way to purify your Soul Gem. You're in Hyrule, after all. A classic good vs. evil story. The sword leaves the pedestal, and you hold it.

"Now, Dominam," Fi says to you, "in the name of my creator, raise the sword skywards." You follow Fi's instructions, and raise the blade above your head. The sword is bathed in an indigo light, and it glows. You feel like a weight has been lifted off of your chest, and you see that your Soul Gem flashes the same color. When the light dims, you see that the corruption filling it is gone. "What you bear is the Goddess Sword, a blade kept secret from the people of Skyloft for thousands of years until this mission was ready to begin. Crafted by the wisdom of the ancient sages and used by the goddess in the war against the god of evil, Majora, along with the war against the Demon King, this sword is filled with a holy power. You may also imbue your cutlasses you can summon with the Goddess Sword's power."

You then try what she said, and summon a cutlass. "Holy..." you mutter, looking at the cutlass, now glowing with the power of the sword. This isn't real. You're following in the footsteps of Link. Just wait until you tell Mami and Madoka... but they aren't here. You make a note to tell them when you get back to Mitakihara. "Thanks, Fi," you say, determination filling your mind. "I'll use this sword to save the land of Hyrule from whatever is threatening it."

"Then the mission will begin soon. Recognition complete, mistress," Fi says to you. "Sayaka... my mistress."

"So... what is this place, anyway?" you ask. "The Temple of Time? It sure doesn't look like it."

"Negative," Fi replies, "the Temple of Time is located in the Lanayru Desert," she says. "This is the interior of the Statue of the Goddess, where the Hero was said to awaken herself, as the prophecy states."

"A prophecy?" you ask. "I'm in a prophecy?"

"It reads as follows: When the light of the Goddess' sword shines bright, a great apocalypse will awaken from its slumber. Do not fear, for it is then that a youth, guided by my hand, shall reveal themselves in a place most sacred. The youth who draws forth the guiding sword shall be known as the Maiden Reborn, and it is she who possesses a fragment of the spirit of my creator. She shall be burdened with the task of abolishing the shadow of apocalypse from the land. Such is her destiny. With the spirit of the blade at her side, she shall soar over the clouds and plummet below... And united with the Spirited One, shall bring forth a piercing light that resurrects the land.'"

"Wait, 'plummet below'?" you ask. "As in I'm heading down to Hyrule?"

"Affirmative," Fi confirms, "Your journey shall take you to the vast lands of the Surface, known as Hyrule during the time of the Goddess." It's actually happening. You're going on a hero's journey.

"So how do I get down there? I take it I don't just ride Lorelei through the clouds."

Fi brings her arms together in response, creating a ball of bright blue light that transforms into a stone tablet with a map on it, an emerald in the center. "This is known as the Emerald Tablet, Dominam," she explains to you. "It shall create an opening in the cloud barrier. Strike the crest in the back of the room with a Skyward Strike, a blast formed of pure energy when you raise the Goddess Sword skywards, and place the tablet in the altar behind me." The tablet then floats over to your feet, so you can pick it up after the Skyward Strike.

You raise the sword, and it glows. With a slash, a disc of energy fires towards the crest resembling the Hylian Shield, and an altar rises up. A rectangular slot supposedly for the tablet is in the center. You then feel a sheath appear near your left hip, which you slide the Goddess Sword into. And finally, you pick up the tablet and place it into the slot.

Almost immediately, the statue begins to shape. "Dominam," Fi says. "Go outside the statue to see the effect of the tablet." You nod, and go outside. In the courtyard, you can see that it's still night. Then to the southeast, you see something- a green pillar of light. "The tablet you placed in the altar has opened a small rift in the cloud barrier. You are now able to go to the surface."

As you listen to Fi, a title comes into your head. "Sayaka Miki, Hero of the Sky!" But you're scared.

To Kyouko I guess? ... Oh, we need to unlock the cloud barrier I guess. Uh, why'd you stop writing? Not sure what you're expecting us to say, Sayaka's a bit more in her element now that she knows she's in Hyrule and isn't going "Wait, wut?" at everything.
 
This I can work with. First off drawing the sword did something to the corruption so hopefully Fi knows of a way to counteract it, the witchbomb is a definite since that means she's on board all ahead with making sure we find something to keep it in check and helping us out. Lichbomb... might be useful. Go to the past and wait out the years coming back if something happens to the mirror or to become a badass? Doubt it, but a funny and realistic way we could break the game.

After that... I guess it depends on our corruption rate for none Meguca things. I mean we just got 2% corruption from... something? The sword blast?

We should have some innate talent for the sword I imagine with how Sayaka's magic revolves around them... or it might be for only her swords in which case we need the practice. And a couple of items would be good... Hmm... Dual-Wield?

I think we should tell Fi both the Witchbomb(for obvious reasons) and the lichbomb(?). We're going to work together and save the world after all.

We're likely to need supplies, and Fi should know about this, if only so that she can help keep us sane and stable.
 
Good Morning
OOC: I'm feeling generous, so I'm letting the equivalent to Grief Seeds be really easy to find.

You note that multiple bats are flying around the courtyard, and they all turn to you in unison. "Target locked: Keese," Fi says. "Found in many locations, these winged monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves. They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack."
You summon three cutlasses to take down the first three Keese, before finishing off the other three with the Goddess Sword. Two blue rupees and two green rupees drop down where the Keese's corpses vanish. You leave the courtyard, and see that there are other monsters throughout the town. You quickly find a small treasure chest, and open it to find a red rupee.

As you go through the town, you kill any Keese you come across (gaining 10 rupees), until you run into a teal blob. "Target locked: Green ChuChu. These creatures prefer exceptionally damp environments. They will encompass and digest anything they can absorb into their gelatinous bodies. As they have no genders, they are believed to increase their population by dividing themselves into several smaller-sized ChuChus."​
You slice through the ChuChu with the Goddess Sword, and it splits into two smaller ChuChus, which you dispatch easily. You now have 55 rupees. As you reach a statue of a bird that has a ruby in one of its eyes, you decide to tell Fi about magical girls. "Fi?" you ask.

"Yes, Dominam?" Fi responds, appearing out of the Goddess Sword and looking at you.

"I'm... well, a magical girl. I basically hunt these... things called witches, but it isn't all sugary sweet as it sounds. The one who makes you a magical girl in exchange for any wish, Kyubey, leaves out any information that will persuade you not to become one." You then show Fi your Soul Gem. Her expression doesn't change at all. It's almost as if she doesn't have emotions. "This," you continue, "is my Soul Gem. When it gets completely dark..." you gulp. "You turn into a witch. So, Fi. Do you know any way to dispel curses in Hyrule?"

"I will look through my database to see if any item in it matches what you need," Fi says. She then goes silent, and you examine the bird statue, wondering where its other eye is. "Possible match found," Fi say. "Amber Relic, beads used by the goddess to purge curses from the people of Hyrule during the war against Majora. Found throughout the surface now." She shows you what looks like a magatama bead from a shrine you once visited with your mom. "However, only Amber Relics that still glow in the presence of the Goddess Sword are able to purge curses. Ones that do not have no magic left in them."​

She turns to you. "To make finding the relics more convenient for you, I can lead you to any relics with magic still within them with a process known as dowsing. Dowsing is when I detect the presence of the aura of something you wish to search for using the tip of the Goddess Sword. The nearer you are to the object emitting the aura, the stronger the response will be."

"So it's like the Stone of Agony?" you ask. "It makes more noise depending on how close I am to a secret?"

"Correct, Dominam. The Stone of Agony used by the Shiekah Tribe is similar to the method of scanning that dowsing uses," Fi clarifies to you. You can see the sun rising over the town, and the Keese and ChuChus go into hiding. You look at the green pillar of light, then at the town. People are beginning to go into the large tent at the center of the town, which seems to be a bazaar of some sorts.

Why would we go to the waterfall? I don't think there's really anything for us to do there.

*Blink* Never played Skyward Sword, but do the Shiekah even exist yet?

Also, I was kind of betting on something like this.. Dowsing seems like something that can track anything as long as it has their "scent" so to speak. And they'd have to be a little common at least, I mean we're already up to 23% corruption. The only reason I don't call bullshit is that its pretty much canon for her to have low magic reserves/whatever.
 
I think that a shield is probably our most valuable asset here. Many enemies become much harder to defeat without having a shield and the shield bump technique.

Sealed Grounds, End of Prologue
You go over to the Bazaar, no longer transformed. As you enter, the sound of a ruckus goes into your ears. You look around to see a shop that sells gear, one that sells potions, a fortune-teller, and a bored woman at a desk. You first walk over to the potion shop. "Excuse me, ma'am," you say to the proprietor, a large woman who seems to be clapping for some reason.

"Hello, my sweet!" she says enthusiastically to you. "Would you like some potions?"

"Yeah," you say. "A red potion, please." It's just in case your Soul Gem's corruption is rather high and you need to heal.

"Right away," the woman says, pulling out a bottle and scooping some red potion into it. "I noticed you didn't have a bottle to carry the potion in, so here's one. And you don't need to pay for the bottle! It's on the house." The woman then gives you the bottle of potion. For a few seconds, you wonder what's in red potion, but the thought goes away. "The potion's fifteen rupees, by the way," the woman says. You give the money to her, and she thanks you for shopping at her place. You now have 40 rupees.

You then walk over to the shop that's selling gear, where a grinning man goes over to the shield that you approach. You can't help but be reminded of the owner of the mask shop in Ocarina of Time. "That is a wooden shield!" the man says, looking at you. "It can protect you from attacks, but it burns when exposed to fire. 40 rupees." You give him the money, and the man's grin grows wider. "Thank you!" He then hands the shield over to you.

You put the shield on your back, and begin to walk over to the dock in the southern plaza. "Fi," you ask, "how exactly do I call Lorelei? I woke up on her, but how do I make her come back?"

"When you jump off the dock, whistle," Fi says to you. "Your Loftwing will arrive in an instant, and it will always respond to a whistle. However, Loftwings are diurnal creatures, thus you cannot fly down to the surface from Skyloft at night." You nod, then jump. As you fall, you first transform, then whistle. Just like Fi said, Lorelei arrives and puts you on her back. You steer the Loftwing towards the green pillar of light. "Mistress Sayaka, this column of light leads to the Faron region of the Surface," Fi tells you as you fly towards the pillar of light. "And when you reach the light, jumping is the best option. The sailcloth Kyouko gave you will let you slow your fall enough to land on the Surface without inflicting any pain."

As you reach the light, you steer Lorelei down, and then you jump. Below, you see a spiraling pit near a temple, and a vast forest nearby. A lake is to the east of the forest, and you wonder if that's Lake Hylia or Zora's Domain. You pull out your sailcloth, and float down peacefully. When I get Kyouko back with her memories and save Hyrule, we'll go home somehow, you think to yourself, trying to ignore the fear you're feeling now.
Oh, but she must stay. She bears something we need. And we must obtain it...
"Huh," you say as you land, looking around at the pit, then at the temple. "I thought there would be Kokiri."
"These are the Sealed Grounds. It is a well-known area due to the events here that occurred during the great war for the surface, even if it has fallen into decline after that historical event," she clarifies to you. "To help you in your quest, I have added the option to douse for Kyouko's Soul Gem to the Goddess Sword."

"Thanks, Fi," you tell her. You look over at the temple down the cliff. "Well then." You gulp. "I guess it's time to get started." An old woman enters the temple.

[X] Dowse for Amber Relics

We should at least make sure to have a couple on us for reserves and search around wherever we go or when we need one. Just keep those few as backups for a little while... sounds like they last a long time at least. If not we can keep a rotating stock of them. Might be a good idea when we find Koko to have some with us anyway.
 
I have no idea what Dowse means so I'm just going to follow the bandwagon.
