When you take not even a step forward, a giant plant emerges from a set of roots. You remember this enemy from Ocarina of Time- a Deku Baba. "Deku Baba," Fi says. "This violent plant is widespread in wooded areas. It will attempt to bite anything that approaches it. Though it is covered in a tough outer husk, the inside of its mouth is soft. I have confirmed the existence of two varieties: those that open their mouths vertically and those that open them horizontally. In addition, there is a subspecies of Deku Baba that emits a poisonous miasma and another that hangs from the bottom of lily pads."
This one's mouth is horizontal, so you slice horizontally with the Goddess Sword. The Deku Baba lets out a strange noise, and bites out back at you, tearing your cape a bit and making a deep wound on your side. You quickly heal the wound, and you do one more slice, the Deku Baba's head being split in half.
Then, you decide to test dowsing by searching for Amber Relics. The Goddess Sword glows lavender, and you feel as though there are four relics nearby. So you start searching. The first one you find is to the west of the temple overlooking the pit. The second is on a cliff parallel to the one you landed on. The third is inside the pit, on a cliff. And finally, the fourth is at the bottom of the pit. At the bottom, you can see some kind of spike with runes and symbols on it, with a sigil surrounding the spike. It looks as if the sigil was recently placed there, or renewed. Then you decide to test something. You summon your Soul Gem, and point it at the spike, turning on your magic-sense.
You feel a demonic presence, with an overwhelming malevolent aura. You feel a sudden agony in your head, feeling like it might explode. Whatever is sealed away here is much worse than any witch you've ever fought, and it wants nothing more than to subjugate, dominate, and rule the land around you. You're literally knocked back from the aura, and hit the cliff.
You then see your Soul Gem. This presence, whatever it was, filled it up a bit. You press an Amber Relic against your Soul Gem, and the corruption flows out of it and into the bead, which crumbles in your hand. When you get much stronger, you'll defeat whatever's in there.

"I'm getting out of here," you say to yourself, going up the spiral until you reach the temple. You push open the double doors, surprised by how easy they opened.
You are now inside some sort of shrine. Three ancient pillars line each side of the temple, and a flight of stairs leads up to something that you take doesn't exist any longer. A small alcove for plants is to the left, while a figure sits upon a larger stairway in front of a pair of large double doors. "This is the Sealed Temple, Mistress Sayaka," Fi explains to you. "I do not detect the presence of any monsters here. It is safe here."
You go over to the figure at the top of the stairs, and they speak up. "Ah, traveler descended from the sky above, I welcome you to the land that the people of Skyloft call the Surface." It's an elderly woman, her slender form hunched over slightly. She wears a large red cloak that towers over her, and her hair wraps around her head and down to a little off the ground. She also has on a blue necklace. "Tell me, what is your name?"
"My name's Sayaka Miki," you say. "I came down here looking for something."
"What a lovely name you bear," the old woman comments with a smile. She then looks over at the Goddess Sword. "So, have you learnt to gain control over the power within that sword?" You nod.
"I'm beginning to get the hang of it," you tell her.
"That is good," the old woman says. "The Skyward Strike is yours to command, and it is proof that you are meant to carry that sword,' she tells you. A small smile appears on your face.
"Heh, well I'm used to wielding cutlasses before I pulled the Goddess Sword," you say. "I have to ask- what's your name?"
"You may call me Impaz," she tells you. "I am the priestess of this temple, and yes, I have been here ever since the goddess aided the scales of the Great War so I could fulfill my purpose of being your guide."

"I'm looking for someone who might be here. Know where she might be?" you ask.
"The one bearing the Spirit of the Hero?" Impaz responds. "Yes, she arrived here last afternoon in a shower of light. Yes... the gears of fate have begun to turn." She pauses for a long time, a frown appearing on her face. "Yet things are not as they should be. The manner that the girl reached this place is not how it is supposed to be."
A scowl appears on your face. "Someone created the twister that brought Kyouko down here, didn't they?"
"Yes, evil is working in the shadows to gain the upper hand, and I was barely able to stop them before a twist of fate ensued." She gives you a sympathetic look. "I am sorry to tell you this, but for now you must work on pressing forwards, and you shall meet her when destiny decides that the time is right. You see, whenever there is a meeting, Sayaka, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you." She then looks up at you. "For now, Kyouko has set out through Faron Woods, and you should follow. Take this map of the surface, and it shall guide you where I cannot."
She focuses deeply, and two things appear in front of you. The first is a map of what seems to be Hyrule in this day and age. You can see Hyrule Field in the center, with what seems to be Gerudo Desert to the west and Death Mountain to the north. The southeast seems to be Faron Woods, as Impaz had described. The other object is what seems to be an indigo satchel, with ten Amber Relics stacked on top of it.
"What's with the bag?" you ask. "I mean, thanks for the Amber Relics, but what's the bag for?"
"This is a satchel, enchanted to hold an infinite amount of items," Impaz explains to you. "When you think of an item and reach into it, the item will be what you pull out."
"Well..." you say, smiling. "Thanks, Impaz. I'll use this." You then begin to walk down the stairs, when you hear her again.
"Sayaka." You turn slowly, looking at Impaz. "There is one other object that you need in your journey." She focuses again, and you can see a lyre appear in front of you. "This instrument is very special, Sayaka. Do not let it fall into the wrong hands."
"OK...?" you say, taking the lyre. You then look around the temple, and see a pair of double doors to your left. You tuck the instrument under your arm.

You decide to dowse for Kyouko. As you pull out the Goddess Sword, you point it around the temple. You then face towards the northeast, the Goddess Sword begins glowing brighter. Fi then appears. "A report, mistress," she says. "From what the dowsing signal shows, it seems that Impaz is right, and that Kyouko is in Faron Woods. The signal indicates an 82% chance that she has not gotten far within the forest."
"Good," you say. "And when I find that asshole who caused us to get into this mess, I'll save Kyouko and bring him to justice."
You see Impaz flinch in the background at your swearing.
You then walk towards the double doors, and push them open, exposing you to the sunlight once again. The trees tower over you, and the blue sky is still as blue as ever. You keep going, until you reach a clearing, where you smell what seems to be a dead body. You run forwards, transforming almost on instinct as you enter.
Large knives are strewn all over the grove, while human blood and what seem to be stones are mixed with the earth. One knife is covered in blood. Your expression darkens as you examine the scene. Then you see it.
The corpse of what looks like a Goron.
You drop the Goddess Sword. "F-Fi..." you say, shaking as you look over the bloodshed as your Soul Gem begins to darken. "C-Can you tell me what happened here?" You could have saved them. But you were too late. Too late. Too late. Too late. Too late. Too late. T O O L A T E. TOOLATE.
Fi appears silently and nods. "I have answers," she tells you. "This is the position where the Spirited One fell to the surface. There, she was discovered by creatures known as Bokoblins. However, this Goron was present at the time, and when the monsters attacked, he was caught in the fight and killed." She points at the sword covered in blood with her cape. "Judging by the injuries on its body and the blood on the sword, it seems to have been impaled by a Bokoblin's sword. From what the wounds show, which are mainly on its chest, the Goron blocked the path so the Spirited One would get to safety. It took many blows from the Bokoblins and slayed two of them, but the third one used its final breath to stab the Goron in the heart. The Goron died of its wounds soon after. Would you like me to define the enemies for you?"
"P-P-Please."
"Affirmative. Bokoblins are monsters that have plagued the lands since ancient times. They are a subspecies of Blin, one of the older races to inhabit the land. Most Blins are humanoid and share similar features, the most common being a piggish face."
You gulp. "Was Kyouko able to escape, or was she killed by monsters deeper in the forest?"
"Yes, mistress," Fi tells you. "My calculations suggest that Kyouko was able to escape with little wounds, despite the blood over the earth. I predict a 96% chance that her escape was to the priestess within the Sealed Temple. I conjecture that she only left the Sealed Temple and entered Faron Woods not two hours ago, a few hours before you arrived on the surface today. And mistress, I advise that you check your Soul Gem."

She's unnerved by it, and well... all her fear that she kept hidden just got out, because in her mind, she wasn't strong enough to save Kyouko, therefore getting innocents caught in the crossfire.

Damn, it's beginning to fill up. Not enough that you need an Amber Relic, though, but it's still almost a quarter full. "It's my fault," you tell her. Tears begin welling up in your eyes. "If I had saved Kyouko from that tornado, an innocent would still be alive! Because of me, this Goron's dead and Kyouko might get killed in the woods! And since she doesn't have her memories of being a magical girl, how the hell can she defend herself?!? Who's to say she won't be dead when I find her!" You pause, then stare at the ground. "I've already failed. I can't be a hero like Mami if I've basically left an innocent die, all because I'm not strong enough."
For all the happiness you wish for someone, someone else gets cursed with equal misery.
"Dominam," Fi simply says. "The Spirited One is still alive."
"But for how long? She's practically depowered, and all I have are this sword and this stupid lyre! How can I save her? How can I defeat whatever kidnapped Kyouko? How can I save anyone if I can't even save Kyouko from that tornado, leaving this goron and lord knows who else for dead in those monsters' search for her!" You look down at the ground again. "...And what would Mami and Madoka think of me? I've already had my first failure." Would something like this have happened if you and Mami hadn't gotten to the TV witch in time to save Hitomi and those others who were kissed by it?
That is a perfect mindset, Your Grace.
"I do not possess the capabilities of human emotion, but I do know this, Dominam. You are the Chosen Hero, and therefore you can still be it. Now, Mistress Sayaka. The Ancient Texts state that the closer the Spirited One gets to the spring in Faron Woods, the more her memories will return. She will soon remember being a magical girl, and be able to once again defend herself."
"But what about the races that already live on the surface?" you ask. "Can they defend themselves?"
"We cannot change the minds of all who live on the surface. We can only minimize their suffering when their acquaintances are lost. In the end... the decision is yours. Will you be the hero and protect the surface, so you can be strong enough to protect her."
"B-But... I already failed at saving her once. Who's to say I won't fail again?" But then again, she'll regain her memories... You stare off into the distance, just being silent for a few minutes. "I'll be the hero. I can still be a hero like Mami. She's probably failed a few times at saving people from witches after all, and has likely run into things like this," you say, the tears beginning to leave. You pick up the Goddess Sword. "I'll try and protect the surface as best as I can. And when Kyouko gets her memories back? We'll do it together." You hear vultures and begin following the path to Faron Woods. "All right, whoever kidnapped Kyouko." Your eyes narrow. "Game on."

Kyouko saved Sayaka after Oktavia, even though it was Madoka's wish that sent them to Hyrule. Sayaka wants to return the favor. And what if Kyouko's killed? Their new chance at life would basically go to waste.
Because she's more scared than she lets on, the mental dam broke down. She considers this her first failure as a hero. There's also the fact that even though she's in Hyrule, she still looks up to Mami. In her mind, she can't be like a hero like Mami if she's already failed once. Then she linked it to "what if Hitomi and the others weren't saved from H.N. Elly and died of poison?"

Semi-Canon Omake: The Death of Gorko

- Someplace else
Gorko the Goron was surprised to see a girl laying unconscious on the ground. As she began to stir, she saw him. "Who are you?" she asked.
"I am Gorko the Goron! I am researching the ancient history of these woods here," he said.
"Nice to meet you, Gorko," the girl said, standing up. "What're ya doing here?"
"Just like I said, I'm researching. According to the ancient texts, there is some place up above called the Isle of the Goddess, way up in the sky! The sky people live up on an island, riding around on birds bigger than them. The residents of all the islands live in a perfect society. The place was crafted by the goddess herself, so it figures that it is filled with wonders we do not have. The buildings are all made of gold! An endless spring of mystical water leads a river through the place! One sip of that stuff, and you become immortal!"
"Um, Gorko... I'm from there," the girl told him.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaa-"
"Spirited One here! She here!"
The girl and Gorko turned around to see red bipedal creatures with swords, three of them to be precise. "Go to the temple, Sky Girl," Gorko stated firmly. "I will hold them off." He pointed towards a temple in the distance.
The girl ran off towards the temple, and Gorko stood in front of the creatures.
"Out way, rock thing!" one yelled.
"No way!" Gorko shouted. "If you want to get to the girl, you'll have to go through me!" To prove his point, he punched one of the creatures hard, sending it flying towards the cliff. As the beast hit the cliff, it could feel most of its bones breaking.
"AIEEEEEEEEEEE!" screeched the second monster, running at Gorko. Gorko rolled out of the way, and his rolling got even faster, to the points spikes came out. He then bowled over the second one.
The final monster looked around, seeing its comrades dead. It ran at Gorko and tried slicing at him, but he blocked with his fists. Gorko tried punching it, but the monster blocked with its sword. It sliced at Gorko's side, causing him to cringe as the monster sliced again and again, backing the Goron into a corner.
Gorko was bleeding all over, and he panted as the monster approached closer. "Me HATE Gorons!" the creature shouted, slicing at Gorko's arm. The Goron then finally saw his opening, and punched the monster. The monster screeched, and as Gorko approached the dying beast, it said one last thing. "You no take girl! She belong to Lord Ghirahim!"
"Not at all!" He tried punching the monster and...
Then the beast saw its own opening, and stabbed Gorko with its sword. Both of them fell over. The monster died, and Gorko pulled the sword out of his wound. He looked up at the sky. "I guess... I'll never see the Isle of the Goddess..." he said weakly, coughing up some blood. But then he briefly saw the clouds parting, and a floating island.
Gorko died with a smile.
"I am Gorko the Goron! I am researching the ancient history of these woods here," he said.
"Nice to meet you, Gorko," the girl said, standing up. "What're ya doing here?"

"AIEEEEEEEEEEE!" screeched the second monster, running at Gorko. Gorko rolled out of the way, and his rolling got even faster, to the points spikes came out. He then bowled over the second one.
The final monster looked around, seeing its comrades dead. It ran at Gorko and tried slicing at him, but he blocked with his fists. Gorko tried punching it, but the monster blocked with its sword. It sliced at Gorko's side, causing him to cringe as the monster sliced again and again, backing the Goron into a corner.
Gorko was bleeding all over, and he panted as the monster approached closer. "Me HATE Gorons!" the creature shouted, slicing at Gorko's arm. The Goron then finally saw his opening, and punched the monster. The monster screeched, and as Gorko approached the dying beast, it said one last thing. "You no take girl! She belong to Lord Ghirahim!"
"Not at all!" He tried punching the monster and...
Then the beast saw its own opening, and stabbed Gorko with its sword. Both of them fell over. The monster died, and Gorko pulled the sword out of his wound. He looked up at the sky. "I guess... I'll never see the Isle of the Goddess..." he said weakly, coughing up some blood. But then he briefly saw the clouds parting, and a floating island.
Gorko died with a smile.

You pull out your lyre and play "Taps" on it, to respect the Goron's death. As you play through the song, you hear something- "Boing-oing!" It sounds just like what a Gossip Stone would say. You turn around, and see a gray rock with an eye symbol on it. "Butterflies tend to gather around Gossip Stones like myself. If you find a spot swarming with butterflies, play a tune of great beauty and a Gossip Stone might just pop out of the ground with a boing-oing!"
"Eh?" you ask. I thought I'd need the Mask of Truth for this, you think to yourself.
"Wait, you've never seen a Gossip Stone like me before?" it says.
"Well, no," you lie.
"If that's the case, you just need to play that there harp near butterflies, and we'll pop outta the ground!" it tells you. You back away from the stone, and then begin going towards the forest.
You then press an Amber Relic against your Soul Gem, and the corruption enters the bead. The bead shatters. After all, you don't want yourself witching out now.

[CORRUPTION: 0%]
You then enter Faron Woods. You can't help but be reminded of both the Forest Haven from Wind Waker and Kokiri Forest. You can see giant mushrooms that glitter, and an absolutely enormous tree in the distance, which you theorize is the Great Deku Tree.
"You have entered Faron Woods," Fi tells you. "The plentiful water in this region clearly sustains a large diversity of flora, including this massive tree. It is logical that the lush plant life and water resources that flow from Lake Floria has attracted animal species to the region. I detect the presence of a few monsters. There is little here that will put your life in danger."

"Thanks, Fi," you say.
You can see a small creature emerging from behind a nearby tree.
