You check up once more. Samiel is still facing off with the dragon. You… really hope that he’s doing okay. Your attention turns to Sheik and Lynna again. Lynna glances up towards you, giving a soft smile, then looking to Sheik again, hand still outstretched, ready to pull the Sheikah girl up. Sheik still doesn’t seem completely sure about this, and she gives a brief look in your direction.

Maybe you should say something…

>A. Whatever secrets you have, I can promise you I’ll keep
>B. Hyrule’s depending on you, Sheik. I know you can help us save it
>C. If you do not wish to go through with this again, I will not ask you to
>D. Something else?

>>4200267
Hmm. I could see any of these working or going wrong...

With a calm voice and a determined look, you tell her, “Sheik… this is your decision, and only you can make this choice. But know that no matter what you choose, no matter what secrets there are, you have our support. You are one of us.”

Sheik takes a moment, but then gives a solemn nod. She takes Lynna’s hand, and the two head in once more. As they dive in deeper, though, you all feel the area shake. Glancing in the direction you felt Samiel and the dragon previously, you can tell that the battle is only growing more intense. And focusing with the Tiara, you aren’t sure who’s winning at the moment.

Finally, Sheik and Lynna emerge from the water once more. This time though, they have definitely succeeded. Both of them. They get out of the water, and a doorway emerges on the other side of the area. You notice that both of them now have something around their necks… pendants with a curious symbol, four prongs around a three-sided pyramid. Each one with a mirror shine that seem almost Magically produced.

Horon looks at the pendants curiously. “So, what did you get?”

“From what the statue said, these are the Talismans of Reflection.” Sheik explains, hand looking over hers. “They allow one to reflect away the power used by evil beings, and… protect those they care about.” As you hand Lynna her dress back, Sheik cautiously approaches you. “Princess… when we get through this, I… have two things I wish to tell you.” She looks down at the pendant again. “But… you and only you can hear it.”

>A. All right, when we are through this
>B. Are you sure you can’t tell anyone else?
>C. Can we test out how these pendants work?
>D. Samiel may need out help, we should go, quickly
>E. Something else?

“All right. When we get through this.” You give a nod, then lock your eyes on the doorway. “Samiel may need our help, though. Let’s go! Quickly!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_3LcGNQRk4

A shout of “Right!” echoes from your allies as you all run to the doorway, all of you appearing at the turret tower… or rather, what is left of it. You look out at the main area and see Samiel standing near the other, smaller temple structure’s entrance… and the massive foe he has been fighting. A dragon, as large as the skeletal one you saw in the Spirit Temple, perhaps even larger, body with black and purple scales that more resemble armor than anything biological… with this air of malice around it, as if a barely visible miasma of pure hatred emanates from the dragon. A blade-like tail sways behind it as it crawls slowly, circling around, its gargantuan wings folded against its body as its head, maw easily as long as you are tall, watches over the golden knight… and then it speaks.

“They’re probably trapped down there now, you know. Some protector you turned out to be, Hunter.” You look down and see that the entrance you all went in through is covered in rubble from the damaged tower. “How often will you keep repeating these mistakes? Thinking yourself some kind of hero.” Its claws scratch against the ground, leaving massive gashes in it. “I want you to remember this as I DRAG YOU INTO THE UNDERWORLD!”

Samiel remains stern, sword charging with magical power. You do have the element of surprise, however brief.

>A. Attack with your own blade!
>B. Bomb the dragon!
>C. Crossbow!

You call out Zas, directing him to the front of the monster as you take focus with the Tiara. The Phantom knight swings his sword upward at the dragon’s jaw. Samiel looks in your group’s direction briefly, and seems reinvigorated by your arrival. Using the attack from Zas as an opening, he fires a charged Sword Beam at the dragon. It hits the monster’s face, forcing it back slightly. Sheik, Horon, and Aveli all head down, you and Lynna staying back, the young woman actually standing in front of you defensively.

With your guidance, Sheik is able to get around the dragon and strike it in the eye, but before Horon and Aveli can reach it, the dragon’s tail whips at them, knocking the Gerudo girl down and leaving a slash across Horon’s arm as he’s flung away like a ragdoll. Zas attempts another slash at the dragon, aiming for its neck, only for the monster to stand on two legs and let out a blast of hellfire from its mouth, engulfing the Knight.

The dragon then starts to flap its wings, hovering up slightly. “So, you all wish to die with the Hunter? Then you’ll all DIE SCREAMING!” it roars. As it does though, you can see some wounds made by Samiel in his previous clashes with the monster in perfect clarity. One on the base of the neck, one on the chest, and one on the stomach, just above the waist. In addition, the wings, membranes of them almost a mix of leather and miasma themselves, seem particularly vulnerable.

You do your best to keep focus, but tell Lynna to help Horon, as he’s taken a rather nasty wound. Samiel’s wrist flicks again as he builds up energy around it, this time sparking with electricity. Aveli tries to jump at the monster and make a swipe at its tail with her swords, but fails to reach it, just barely avoiding a swipe from its tail. It laughs maliciously. “Aww, can’t reach, little mortal? TOO BAD!” The tail stabs into the ground, Aveli still dodging away, as you carefully move closer, just close enough that you can reach its face with a well-placed throw.

With a loud yell, you fling a Deku Nut right up at the monster, its face just turning in time to get blinded. It roars in pain, Samiel firing his Sword Beam up at it and hitting one of the wounds he’d made previously, doing significant damage to it. The dragon glares at the Knight for a moment, but then looks at you. It dives down and, even as you try to avoid it, grabs you and lifts you into the air. It squeezes you tight, claws scratching you as it holds you, taking you up further.

[Hearts: 9/11]
[Deku Nuts: 3]

Before it can do any more damage, though, you see Horon’s recovered, and yell out to him to where one of the wounds are. The monster tries to fly up higher, but Horon expertly hits the belly wound with a fireball, causing it to shriek in pain and drop you. You brace yourself for the fall, but Lynna catches you and eases the fall. You land without taking significant damage, but the dragon is now QUITE pissed.

“You like playing with fire? THEN HERE, LET’S TURN UP THE HEAT!” The dragon prepares to let out another blast of hellfire, bigger than last time.

“Aveli, on my mark!” you call out to the Gerudo girl, bringing out a Bomb and enchanting it with Ice magic. She rushes to your side, and once it’s ready, your plan’s set in motion… as she flings you up at the dragon. As it finishes building up its hellfire, it just notices you thrust at it. “EAT IT!” you yell at the surprised dragon, dunking the bomb down the dragon’s gullet. It explodes with a massive blast of ice, stopping the flames and causing the monster to choke… but in the panicked flailing it swats you back down. Lynna tries to catch you again, more of a stumble this time.

[Hearts: 8.5/11]
[Magic: 1/10]
[Bombs: 5/10]

Smoke pouring from its mouth as the monster coughs, Samiel is able to jump up at it and spin in the air, smashing into the monster’s side and sending it down. The dragon crashes into the ground, Sheik getting a quick stab in at one of its wounds before leaping away right as the beast gets back up. Horon flings another fireball at it, but the dragon displays remarkable swiftness as it dodges the fireball. On all fours, it attempts to stab at you with its tail, you and Lynna getting out of the way just in time to avoid getting skewered.

“YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED, MORTALS!” it barks with venomously at you all, coughing out a final bit of smoke from its mouth, still damaged from that lucky hit from the Ice Bomb. “YOU’LL SCREAM OUT YOUR FINAL BREATHS!” Its claws swipe at everyone, thankfully missing your allies narrowly. Its maw snaps at Samiel as the Knight lands, actually parrying the bites with his blade. The wings start to flap once more. Gh… need some way to keep it grounded!

You bring out your Hookshot, taking aim at the dragon’s wings. “LYNNA! WITH ME!” you call to her. She brings hers out, and the two of you manage to hit the wings and give them a yank to try and keep the monster grounded. While you do manage this, the dragon’s tail immediately whips at you, and while you avoid getting skewered by it, it still leaves a nasty slash at your side. You yell in pain, but stand strong. Samiel tries to rush the monster down, but with the same motion it used to slash at you, its tail slams into the Knight and knocks him down.

[Hearts: 7/11]

Sheik is able to get in close as the monster’s distracted, landing a sharp stab into the wound at the base of its neck. The monster screams in pain, but manages to headbutt Sheik and keep the wound from growing any deeper. But you see your opportunity and start flinging bombs at the monster, managing to severely damage the wings as it’s held in place. Horon adds to it, tossing two charged fireballs at the monster’s wings that damage them enough that even if it tries, it can’t fly up again.

[Bombs: 1/10]

The dragon roars, belting out hellfire again, with you and Horon avoiding the worst of it but still getting singed by the heat, the wound it made with its tail searing with pain from the flames that touch it. You fall to your knees but hold on to the Hookshot as best you can. Horon thankfully is able take it better thanks to his outfit, but only just.

[Hearts: 5/11]

Aveli bolts at the monster and avoids its snapping jaws, grappling its neck to try and keep it from belting out flame again. “You’re not going ANYWHERE!” she yells, the monster’s claws tearing into the ground.

“Let GO you INGRATE!” the monster demands, claws trying and failing to grab her off it. Just then you hear a roll of thunder. Looking out, you see that a bolt of lightning has hit a massive group of monsters that were attempting landing. Further off, that pirates’ ship seems to have been damaged enough that it’s plummeting from the sky. Samiel gets back on his feet, noticing the scene from afar, and seems to get an idea. He gives you a look and seems to signal for you to hold the monster down as he raises his sword to the sky. Magical energy flows around it as it charges again.

You nod in affirmation to Samiel. Keeping focus on where the monster’s weak points, trying to keep the dragon from moving. But, the monster immediately takes notice of it and slashes down at you with its claw, grabbing you and pulling you up. Aveli tries to squeeze its neck harder to get it to let go of you, but that only makes its grip tighten, claws digging into your flesh. As it’s about to try and squeeze tighter, you give a yank with the hookshot, Lynna doing the same. The sudden pull causes the monster to screech in agony once more as its damaged wings are pulled in opposite directions. Sheik is able to leap up and stab it in the wrist to free you, catching you as you fall and setting you down. Your Hookshot is finally freed from the monster’s wing, but at the very least it’s not flying around anywhere.

[Hearts: 3/11]

“You’re severely injured.” Sheik tells you.

“I’m still alive. That’s what counts. And I’m not done yet.” you tell her, trying your best to power through your wounds. You bring out your last bomb, then enchant it with Ice Magic. “AVELI! DODGE!” you call out to the Gerudo girl. She lets go of the dragon’s neck as you toss the bomb up, it exploding on the monster’s back and damaging the wings further, encasing the base joints in ice.

[Magic: 0/10]
[Bombs: 0/10]

It roars at you, livid, but its head tilts as it seems to… recognize something. “…Of course. OF COURSE. Goddessblood. You… I’m not going back without you!” It begins to charge, claws out and maw barking, “I’ll drag you to hell, Goddessblood!”

“OH NO YOU DON’T!” Horon lets out another charged fireball that sets the beast’s chest ablaze… yet it still powers through, even swatting at him with its tail. Aveli however grabs hold of the slashing tail, pulling hard to try and keep the massive beast from moving forward, just barely managing to slow it down. Lynna’s own Hookshot is loosed from the monster’s wing, but she quickly uses the Gale Boomerang, flinging it ahead of the monster, to leave a swirling gust to pull the monster back ever slightly more. Sheik taps the pendant on her chest as a weak fireball escapes from the dragon’s mouth, and as you stand, the fireball is actually reflected back at the dragon!

[Bolts: 75/90]

You hold up your crossbow and release a volley at the beast, scoring a direct hit on the gut wound. “GODDESSBLOOD!” it roars, readying a stronger surge of hellfire. “THIS WILL BE YOUR FUNERAL PYRE!”

A flash of light and near immediate crack of thunder turns everyone’s attention back to Samiel, as apparently, one of the thunderbolts had struck the knight’s charging sword. He brings it back and then thrusts forward, releasing a snaking beam of energy surrounded by sparks of electricity, Aveli letting go just in time. It strikes the monster in the chest wound, the beast screeching out in agony as electricity courses through it. Finally, the snaking beam blasts through out the back of the monster. The dragon looks down, in almost disbelief, then back at Samiel. It falls to its knees, sparks still jetting from its body. The monster attempts to crawl to the edge, black mist in place of ichor seeping from its fatal wound.

“Go back to the underworld where you belong.” Horon tells it.

The monster glares over at you. “…You… won’t… win… Goddess…blood…” It reaches the edge, body falling apart as it does. “He… he… will ensure… it…” Finally its body breaks into pieces, head falling off the side of the temple as the rest of it breaks apart, the black mist billowing downward as well.

Samiel sighs in relief. It’s over. The dragon’s vanquished.

With the dragon finally defeated, you all try to gather up, attempting to rest for just a moment and catch your breaths. Samiel’s arm twitches a bit as he returns his sword to its sheath, the Knight letting out a loud sigh. Lynna looks over your various wounds worriedly. That was getting rather close. But before she starts to heal you, Samiel has her stop, pointing to the temple structure he was protecting when you all left the trial area.

“Great Fairy, right?” Horon asks. The Knight nods, then starts to head over to you. Horon follows, but flinches and trips over one of the gashes on the floor the dragon made, Aveli catching him. “Ngh. Ow. Okay, Great Fairy first.”

Samiel checks you over as well, and seeing your wounds, seems to worry. While you can’t see the Knight’s face, the body language he’s displaying is definitely that of concern. He looks around the area, then motions for you to head to the Great Fairy as well.

>A. All right, head on over
>B. Better check if the dragon left any spoils behind first
>C. Ask Samiel about the dragon, they clearly had some prior history

“Just… just a moment. Let’s collect ourselves first, and maybe see if the dragon left any spoils. A number of us are low on Magic and supplies as well as health. Best recover what we can while we are able to.” You start to move over to where the dragon’s body was, though you notice Samiel give you a clearly less than amused look, even clenching his fist, but Sheik heads by you and gives Samiel a soft, almost pleading look. The Knight sighs loudly, clearly loud enough for you to hear, but only that.

You manage to recover a small bit of health, a good deal of Magic, thankfully enough Bolts to refill the Crossbow, and a single Bomb. In addition to that, you manage to find a red Rupee, and a few green ones. Score! And then some!

[Hearts: 4/11]
[Magic: 5/10]
[Bolts: 90/90]
[Bombs: 1/10]
[Rupees: 255]

As you collect these with your allies, you try to strike up a conversation with Samiel. “I must thank you first for holding off the dragon while Sheik and Lynna completed their trial. Yet… I must ask, you clearly had history with this dragon, so, can you tell us about it?” Samiel tenses up, enough to almost almost worry you.

Sheik though approaches him, quietly telling the Knight, “It is okay.” The tension in Samiel’s body eases, and he starts to write on Sheik’s hand. And so Sheik explains for him. “They do indeed have history, as mortal enemies. The dragon’s name… is known as Rahab among the Pirates it rules over. The demon is one…” Sheik stops, but Samiel gives an insisting nod. “One who laid waste to most of the Wind Tribe’s warriors in the past. One who was stopped by Samiel. One who will never stop until it drags Samiel down to the underworld.”

“Has it always escaped from you before?” Horon asks.

Samiel shakes his head, and Sheik continues. “Samiel has slain the demon many times, but… a demon is a hard thing to truly fell. Rahab was last slain not too long ago, returned to the underworld it came from, attempting to lead an invasion… into Hyrule.” Sheik seems confused for a moment. “By some… fortress?”

“Oh yeaaaah! That moving fortress!” Horon starts to recall. Even to you, it sounds familiar. “You really did take it out all on your own?”

The Knight answers with a nod, and Sheik speaks for him, “The fortress was destroyed. Samiel made sure of it.”

You think for a moment, considering the allies the Pirates have made. “If it was such a short time ago, then… perhaps this Man with Masks played a role in the dragon’s resurrection.”

Samiel’s fist clenches again, though not directed at you. He then again motions to the temple structure. Seems he insists on everyone heading in there.

>A. All right, let’s go
>B. Before we do, I would like to congratulate you all on this victory, now that we’ve had time to collect ourselves. You all were fantastic
>C. Could the Man with Masks have some ulterior motive with this dragon’s resurrection?
>D. Something else?

You give Samiel an affirming nod, but as you head closer, you address everyone. “I think you all deserve at least some proper thanks for that. Congratulations, everyone, on making it through this. You all were fantastic, you fought together valiantly, and because of this all of us made it through this in one piece.” You then place your hand up on Samiel’s shoulder plate reassuringly, smiling at the Knight… and bracing yourself for a poke the the forehead. “We will make it through this.”

Samiel pats you on the head. First. Then gives you a poke. A bit more at ease, the Knight leads you all to the temple, and after a flight of stairs brings you to the hot spring Fairy Fountain. From the fountain splashes out a tall woman with long, flowing, cobalt blue hair, bodyshape similar to the Great Fairy of Storms, though her wings have almost a… flame-like look to them. And yet there’s a strange, almost wave-like look to her. Certainly has… quite the outfit, too.

She floats in midair, leaning back, cheek resting on her palm as she smiles. “Was that you outside, Sammy, making all that noise?” Samiel crosses his arms, and she giggles. “Oh don’t be like that, I saw eeeeverything, darling~” The fairy claps her hands together, cheerfully declaring, “You all fought so so valiantly, too! That mean ol’ dragon didn’t know what hit ‘em!”

Horon takes a step forward, and asks, “Your counterpart to the west was called the Great Fairy of the Storms, so who might we address you as?”

“Why, I’m the Great Fairy of the Skies.” She then places two fingers on her lips and blows Horon a kiss. “But someone as handsome as you can call me-” Samiel grunts to interrupt her right as the boy’s face reddens, Aveli moving ahead of him and narrowing her eyes. “Oh you never let me have any fun.” the fairy pouts at Samiel.

>A. Samiel wanted us to come to you as soon as the dragon was dealt with, I assume there was a reason?
>B. What kind of boon do you grant, Great Fairy of the Skies?
>C. We have collected all the Kinstones and cleared the trials, so would it be correct to assume the Thunderbird is next?
>D. Do you know if there are any more Pirates on the temple? I’d prefer we clear them out first

“That is… quite an outfit you have there. I must say, I rather do like it. Very… you.” you remark to the great fairy, a smidge of sarcasm that doesn’t quite get through as you kinda… do think it interesting. Dang it you actually do like that outfit. Structurally. Yeah.

The Great Fairy claps her hands together again and almost dances in place in midair. “Aww you’re just a sweetie, aren’t you? Thank you~” She winks. “Nice to see another who has a good sense of fashion.” the fairy remarks, giving Samiel a critical look. The Knight just seems to roll his head at her.

You cough to clear your throat, Sheik raising an eyebrow at you. “In… any case, Great Fairy, we have collected the Kinstones, we have completed the trials set out for us, so it would be correct to assume the Thunderbird is next, yes?”

“Yep~” she replies with a nod. “But you all look so exhausted from that battle.”

“You could say that again…” Horon remarks.

“Before that, then, I must ask, are there any more Pirates in the Temple? Any more of the creatures of the Underworld lurking around? I do not want to jump in with that unfinished.” You wipe away some sweat from your brow. “Especially considering we saw sign of another creature lurking.”

The bubbly, flirty demeanor fades for a moment as a more serious one takes over. She looks around, then gives an uneasy look back to you all. “There… maaayyyyy be one more… Komayto on the premises.” She taps her lips. “Ooh that is… a big one.” Samiel’s crossed arms lower, the Knight grunting at the fairy. “Oh come on Sammy, it’s not an IMMEDIATE threat… yyyyyet.”

“Then we really shouldn’t delay. Right, Sammy?” Aveli asks the Knight, who nods and motions at the Great Fairy. He then takes a step back, all of you around the Great Fairy.

“Okaaaay, okaaaay! So, you all ARE looking a little beaten up. If you take a rest in this hot spring, it will heal your wounds right up. Aaaaand, since you’ve all been such good sports, I’ve got something to help you all reach new heights!” She makes a heart sign with her hands, then brings her hands to her lips, blowing another kiss, though this one adding a swirl of Magic that washes over you and your allies. For a moment you… feel light as a feather, lifted into the air briefly, before being set back down.

“W-what was…?” Aveli exclaims.

“The power of the skies reside within you all now. If you leap into the air, you’ll all be able to leap a second time in midair with the Magic I’ve granted. You can call this… the Loftwing’s Spirit!~”

We should ask what a loftwing is.

>>4204225
Think she'd allow us to bottle up some of the hot springs water?

If anyone has an empty bottle I mean.

>>4204569
I think it being hot is important, and carrying enough to bath in. We'd need some sort of thermos of holding.

>>4204582
Fair enough. Figured it could just be poured on minor wounds in substitute for a potion but that makes sense.

The healing ability of the hot spring is indeed tied more to the fountain than merely the water.

>>4204941

Anyway, we are back!

>>4204225
Aveli is the first to give this new skill a try, jumping into the air, and then merely trying to… jump again. And she does so, getting higher into the air than before. But not only that, she seems to not accelerate as quickly from the higher height she reached when falling. The higher height may be useful, but a softer fall may be just as vital going forward. The Great Fairy floats back, shimmering wings beating as she does. “Now then, rest up, little adventurers. You’ve got some tough fights ahead. Take a dip for a bit and you’ll all feel plenty refreshed!” She then directs her gaze at Samiel. “And hey, you better watch yourself too, Sammy. All that running around in armor and you’ll-”

The Knight grunts dismissively, instead motioning for the rest of you to head in. The Great Fairy gives another pout, though the look on her face is more of… an almost parental annoyance. You’re definitely able to recall a few looks like that from Impa when you were very, very little. Lynna steps forward, looking over the hot spring. “So… should we… make sure our clothes don’t get wet, or is there some magical way to dry off, or…?”

The Great Fairy laughs. “I mean, I’m not one to really dive in with a heavy dress on, but you do you, girl~”

>A. Just head in, you need to heal up
>B. Better set your clothes aside too, then
>C. Samiel, are you sure you’re not heal up as well?
>D. What is a Loftwing, if you don’t mind my asking?

>>4205465
Eh, before we decide on that E, is Termina's underwear cheap or expensive?

>>4205466
It's not certain we're stripping that far. Maybe she's inexplicably wearing a swimsuit like Lynna was.

>>4205465
I think A and B are mutually exclusive.

Well, Lynna does bring up a point. Better to set your clothes aside than wait for them to dry. You give her a nod and most everyone sets their clothes aside to rest in the hot spring, Horon keeps a good deal further away from everyone, having hidden his face while you all changed. The water is warm and very relaxing, slightly… fizzy, for some reason, too. Samiel refuses to join in, instead keeping watch. Sheik glances at Samiel with a curious look on her face, almost giving the Knight the same look the Fairy did. As you rest, you think to ask the Great Fairy, “What is a Loftwing, anyway?”

“Oh they were fun little things. Big birds that your ancestors used to ride while they lived among the cloudtops, away from the troubles of the surface. Sadly weren’t much use down when Hyrule got founded, but the Wind Tribe managed flocks for some time.” she replies, laying on her side while floating in midair. “Eventually they formed close enough bonds that they could call upon the soaring spirits of the birds to aid in their own movement among the cloudtops. Something I’ve helped grant you all.”

“Do they still exist?” you ask next.

“Oh off in the wild somewhere, for sure. But don’t think many will answer the call of Hylia’s people these days.” She runs her fingers through her long blue hair. “Buuuut who knows? Maybe a more… direct call from the Goddess might catch the attention of one.”

As she says that, your mind recalls that… the dragon did make mention of “Goddessblood.” You sink back into the water a bit, a sense of calm coming over you as you feel your wounds heal… and your Magic recover.

You start to get out of the hot spring, but look up at the Great Fairy. “Before we head off, I… would like to know. Are the Pirates and their associates particularly hostile to the people of Hylia? And… Hylia herself?”

She leans in closer, looking you over for a moment. “Demons are… not particularly fond of any of the Goddesses. Hylia though brought the end to one of their Kings in time before Hyrule was ever a nation. If the power of demons grows stronger, they may seek out those closest to Hylia.” Her large finger gives a quick, teasing poke to your forehead. “But I’m sure you lot are going to be plenty ready for them when this is all over.” The Great Fairy then shouts out, “And maybe SOMEONE can stop being such a sourpuss over having some new friends long enough to let them know you caaaaare~” Samiel turns his head and gives an annoyed glare.

You reflexively cover yourself and dip back down in the water. “H-hey!” Samiel completely ignores you. Poking your head out a but further, you tell the Knight, “The Great Fairy does have a point, too. You should rest, recover, and heal as well. Before we all leave.” Samiel rolls his head in annoyance. You grumble. “We’ll cover you as you recover, just-” And Samiel starts to march towards all of you. Uh. Uhhh. “…W-wait, could y-you-” The Knight jumps into the air and spins, bellyflopping into the hot spring and splashing all of you, even the Great Fairy, with the impact. Armor still on.

“...Well. That’s. One way to do it.” Lynna comments, finally getting up herself. “You… okay in there?” Samiel’s arm raises from the water and gives a thumb’s up, causing her to try, and fail, to hold back a girlish giggle. “You’re going to be like that until we change, aren’t you?” The thumb’s up thrusts a little higher.

Aveli, Horon, and even Sheik laugh at that. Well, that’s one way to go about it. You all get changed, the Great Fairy hovering over Samiel and poking the Knight. “You’re being a brat again, Sammy. Don’t tell me you’ve gotten shy all of a sudden.” Her fluttering wings beat faster as she gasps. “Oh! Ooooh I know what it is! You liiiiike one of them don’t you?” Samiel splashes her. “H-hey!”

With your clothing back on, you wait for Samiel finish up and rise from the water, with it still dripping off his armor, not taking as long as the rest of you because of it. Sheik gives the Knight an odd look, asking, “Do you need a moment to dry off?” He shakes his head, shaking water from it as well, and seems to urge all of you to get going.

>A. Okay really, did you do that because we were taking too long, or is there another reason you splashed in, full armor on?
>B. Best not pry, especially with the Komayto still lurking somewhere. Focus on finding that
>C. Check with Samiel on what you should do next
>D. Something else?

>>4205926
>A.
>D. Really though let's get that Komayto.

>B. Best not pry, especially with the Komayto still lurking somewhere. Focus on finding that

The dragon was screaming goddessblood at us, I doubt Samiel is so thick as to not notice that.

You huff just a little, walking forward. “Okay really, did you do that because we were taking too long for your liking, or did you splash in, full armor on, for another reason?” you ask the Knight. Samiel chuckles and pats you on the head. You frown. “That’s not an answer.”

The Knight motions for Sheik, and writes an answer in her hand. She blushes and then gives him a… quite concerned look. “…Must I?” The Knight nods, and she sighs. “Samiel… wants you to know: not impressed.”

Aveli lets out a soft “Oooooh” as you narrow your eyes. “Har har.” you mutter. That gets him to actually laugh, and again poke you in the head. “Please stop that.” Well, clearly he doesn’t want you to press any further into that… and he IS at least being more outwardly friendly, if teasing. Shouldn’t pry any more. Exiting the Fairy’s temple, you look over the orange tint in the sky as the sun begins to move below the horizon. Your eyes move to the gashes in the ground left by the dragon’s claws. Well. You know that monster was screaming it loud enough for the Knight to hear. He hasn’t brought it up himself, but… “Samiel. Before we continue, I must ask… do you know why Rahab was calling out ‘Goddessblood’ before you finally felled it?”

There is tension in the air as everyone freezes, eyes looking back and forth between you and the Knight. Even if you can’t see it directly, you know Samiel’s gaze is stern as he looks to you. A slow nod. Samiel then writes in Sheik’s hand again. “…Samiel does not care much for mere titles. Acts, or, actions, are what make one a capable hero… ah, or, capable leader.” Sheik corrects herself at the end, seeming to not understand the phrasing at first.

“I… did not mean to deceive you, then. I know the kind of position I am in, but I didn’t want my protection prioritized over everyone else’s.”

Samiel writes again. “Lead by example.” Sheik pauses, flinching after seeing what he writes next. “…And make sure you make the most out of his sacrifice.”

“I intend to.” you state with determination, then smile up at the Knight. “Where to next, Samiel?”

Giving you a thumb’s up one more time, he leads the way.

Anyway, sorry for the delay again, couple things came up. We are definitely back now though!

>>4206109
Samiel looks around as he leads you all, heading closer to the final, more massive temple structure, heading up a very low-incline staircase, marble columns around all of you. A statue of Hylia looks down over you all. The Knight stops, slowly trying to search the area, then motions to some ancient-looking pottery near the platform leading to a massive door. Four slots are embedded in the door, each with a slightly different symbol.

A lightning and thunder streak across the sky, hitting something in the distance behind the temple. No sign of the Komayto yet. Worrying.

You all start to go through the pots, Horon tempted to smash a few before you give him a look, purposefully reaching in one and pulling out… oh! Oh thank goodness. Bombs. More of the small ones Samiel uses. As you do, though, you talk with Samiel, the Knight restocking as well. “What is the plan? Do we try to seek the monster, or go to the Thunderbird directly?” As you do, you restock on Bombs a bit, and thankfully find some… Deku Nuts. Somehow. In addition, you find… five strange objects. Like your Crossbow Bolts, but with some sort of explosive charge to them. Bomb Arrows? …Bomb Bolts? Whatever these missiles are, they may prove useful. You set them in the Bomb Bag just to be safe. You also find some Rupees, always good. Lynna carries one of the pots with her, holding it for safekeeping.

[Bombs: 5/10]
[Deku Nuts: 6]
[Bomb Bolts: 5]
[Rupees: 271]

Once Samiel is finished restocking though, he urges you all to head in. Sheik gets a concerned look on her face. “…With you, correct?” Samiel shakes his head. Ah. “You’re going to face it alone?” He nods. Sheik frowns, Horon’s face showing concern too.

>A. Best of luck, Samiel. We’ll get through this, we promise
>B. We’re going to help you then. Not leaving you behind
>C. Something else?

>>4207694

You give the Knight a nod, placing your hand on Sheik’s shoulder reassuringly. She looks to you, calmed slightly. “Best of luck, Sir Samiel. We will make it through this, we promise.”

Samiel reaches out his hand, offering it to shake. You do just that, and the Knight begins to walk off. You see Sheik’s hand raise ever so slightly, but she steels her resolve and looks forward with the rest of you. Lynna gets out the Kinstones, placing each in the slot on the door. It creaks open slowly, and with all of you ready, you start to head in, passing by blue lights illuminating a hallway. But as you do… a voice echoes from all around you. Calm, but stern, not quite inviting, but certainly expectant. And above all, booming like thunder.

https://youtu.be/mWc9hFF1Dn4

“Congratulations are in order on making it this far.” it speaks. “You have shown the ability to conquer the trials tailored for each of you. You have shown ingenuity and strength, your bonds are those of those that can carve out a bright future.”

“A-are you… the Thunderbird?” Horon asks.

“You have even gone above and beyond what was asked of you. Now, you are ready for your final trial.” A bolt of electricity illuminates the end of the hallway, thunder echoing through it as you see a massive room light up. Finally getting through, you look over the room, lit up in blue lights, sparks jetting from a few places as static electricity flows through the very air.

Looking up, a tall, glowing figure, just a bit bigger than a person, stands perched for a moment. It almost looks like they’ve got some sort of robes on, only for them to cross their arms and be struck by lightning. The flash causes you all to shield your eyes for a moment, but once you’re able to see again, the person-sized figure is replaced by a truly massive avian form. A body that, while certainly that of some vast, predatory bird, shimmers shades of blue and black, wings like the clouds and body like the night sky as sparks jet from its form. Small runes glow among the feathers of the being, power building up around it. It spreads its wings and takes to the air, a clap of thunder following.

If Termina can harness the power of a bolt of lightning (which is 1.21 gigawatts), and free fall from this temple, she'll hit 88 miles per hour way before she hits, heheh, Terminal Velocity, and be able to time travel. Then, after using a parachute, we can save the Hero before his untimely demise.

However, we still need a flux capacitor, but I think I saw one in the First Order's flagship.

You take focus with the Tiara, Lynna backing up behind you as Sheik, Aveli, and Horon all get into position. You see that shoulder joints of the massive wings may be weak points for the Thunderbird. Sword drawn, you start to hatch a plan, enchanting your sword with Ice Magic and stabbing up at the Thunderbird, hitting the wing with a bit of a frigid Sword Beam! The bird lowers to the ground slightly, Aveli rushing it at full speed and jumping into the air, then jumping again midair to reach it, slashing upward and managing to hit the Thunderbird’s torso… though doing less damage than she’d hoped. Horon manages to charge a fireball and fire it up at the massive creature, hitting it in the face dead-on. Yes!

…And then the Thunderbird’s wings flap harder, sending out what seem like sheets of electricity, Aveli getting the worst of it as she’s zapped while she falls, landing prone on the ground. You and Horon get shocked by it too, Lynna staying back far enough to not get hit.

[Hearts: 10/11]

Sheik though almost seemed to expect that, tapping the talisman on her as she leaps into the air. Reflecting some of the lightning back at the Thunderbird to catch it off-guard, she makes a slash across its torso where Aveli slashed up, landing gracefully and trying to help Aveli up. You see that these hits aren’t… actually leaving any wounds. Damage is done, but it’s not bleeding or even showing scratches across its feathers. That’s… different.

The voice you heard before echoes again, commenting… “Interesting.”

Phew! Finally caught up after a 4-day bender through the quest archive! Looking forward to taking part here.

Quick word of warning, Thread #45 is saved as Thread #46 over in thisisnotatrueending so beware of that is this one gets archived.

I feel like I have so many things to ask, the strange thing being they are not really directed towards Kato as much as they are towards the community...but I will hold back on that.

Oh! I CAN look at the stats pastebin now without spoiling myself. Gonna do that.

You think quickly, leaping into the air, and then leaping again, bringing out one of the Bomb Bolts and enchanting it with Ice Magic, taking aim with the crossbow. Only gonna get one shot with this. You fire it off, the kickback feeling substantially stronger than normal, but it’s about to strike true. However, the Thunderbird lets out another wave of sparking energy that hits you right as the freezing missile strikes the bird.

[Hearts: 9/11]
[Magic: 8/10]
[Missiles: 4]

Sheik catches you in midair and even manages to hit the Thunderbird’s wings with some needles, landing safely with you. Aveli attempts to leap up again, but fails to reach it this time, Horon just grazing its wing with a Fireball. As it attempts to unleash another wave of electricity at the pair, Lynna gets in front of them and taps her talisman, deflecting it away and keeping them from harm, though it doesn’t reflect back to the Thunderbird.

As the creature starts to drop lower, it lets out a loud, avian shriek that sounds as much like a hawk’s cry as it does a clap of thunder, sparks building up around its beak, a brilliant white and blue light charging in its mouth.

>A. Sheik, Lynna, reflect it!
>B. Bomb Bolt again!

You take focus on the Thunderbird with the Tiara, calling out to your allies, “Sheik! Lynna! Reflect it on my signal! Aveli, Horon, hit hard with Zas when you’ve got the chance!”

“Right!” they reply together, Sheik and Lynna tapping their Talismans. And right as the Thunderbird fires a beam of lightning from its mouth, both Sheik and Lynna manage to successfully reflect it right back at the Thunderbird! And to ensure the reflection lands, you call forth the Phantom Knight and have him rush the bird, barreling into its chest and allowing the reflected Lightning to hit true. And with that, Aveli and Horon charge in after, hitting the bird at the shoulder joints for the wings with their swords to ensure it hits the ground.

They and Zas back up, all of you standing ready. The… Thunderbird chuckles. “Heh… heh heh heh… excellent! Excellent!” Feet firm on the ground, sparks still jetting from its body, it definitely took a hard hit from that, but it’s still not done. Not yet. Its wings beat down, causing the ground beneath you all to shake… and some small sections to begin to fall. The wings do definitely seem damaged now, though, from the ice and all the attacks to them.

Zas has even more advantage in this manner, as such should always be "floating" to a flank...so I guess more "distract/draw aggro" then "keeping it on the defensive"

“Everyone, keep moving!” you call out to your allies, having Zas come back to you for a moment. You then Enchant the Phantom with Ice Magic, and send him out to block off the Thunderbird, drawing its attention away as it tries to make more sections of the ground fall. Then you keep jumping while focusing on the bird with the Tiara.

[Magic: 7/10]

And though the bird manages to deliver a few ferocious pecks at the knight, Zas holds firm, keeping its attention on him and even delivering some solid blows on the monster. You meanwhile guide your allies as they fight. Sheik keeps moving around, taking advantage of the distraction Zas is making by leaping across the area and slashing at the bird’s back before leaping away, leaving it unable to retaliate. Aveli though hops over a couple gaps and starts to spin with both her swords, the sheer weight of the blades causing her to move like a top as she hurdles towards the Thunderbird, you guiding her to its legs and causing it to stumble. Right as she stops spinning, though, the bird kicks her down and tries to push her into one of the holes it made, Aveli stumbling out of its way after the kick just in time.

Horon charges another of his fireballs and manages to hit the Thunderbird in the face as it attacks Aveli, landing a strong hit to it. However, it quickly retaliates by swiping its wing out, sending another electrified charge of energy at him that stuns him. Lynna meanwhile brings out the Gale Boomerang, magically charging it too, and flinging it out and thwacking the wing it used to attack Horon. The Thunderbird stumbles again, its other wing stabbing into the ground like a sword into dirt. Is it going to try to rip up the ground directly? Agh, but you’re close, just a bit more!
