Maya:
Master Tetra… Observe. The green pillar before you is a column of light. It marks the point at which you can descend to the surface.

You can confirm your current location on the map. Please see where you are in relation to Airloft.

It appears that you will be able to reach the surface by passing through the portal in the clouds at the column's base.

Master Tetra, we've arrived. The is the fabled surface that has long been part of Airloft legend. By my calculations, you are currently positioned in a location known as the Sealed Grounds.

Please proceed with caution, Master.

Master, I have information for you. I have the ability to offer information on items and creatures you target with Z button. While targeting something with Z Button, press down control pad and I will brief you with all the information I know on the subject.

Target lock: Deku Baba
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. You have defeated 2 of this enemy type. I am unable to analyze your battle performance rating with this opponent due to insufficient data.

Master, I have information to report. While those doors appear to have been opened recently, they are now sealed shut by a powerful unidentified force.

The stone:
…Young one… Child of destiny descended from the sky… Raise the staff of the goddess airsky… Take aim at the evil aura and unleash its power…

Maya:
Master Tetra, I'm sensing a change in the area that was triggered by your Airsky Strike. I have also detected an aura that correlates closely to your Sailcloth. I surmise this aura belongs to Verona. I can lead you in the direction of this aura through a process known as dowsing. Would you like me to explain this process to you?  PLease!  As you wish, Master! Dowsing is when I detect the presence of the aura of something you wish to search for using the tip of the staff. The nearer you are to an object emitting the aura in question, the stronger the response will be. This response manifests itself through vibration and sound. The direction of the object emitting the aura is indicated by the purple pointer you see.

Hold down C Button and select Verona as your dowsing target, then point in the direction you wish to search.

Impa:
Ah… The traveler descended from the clouds above. I welcome you, child of fate.

Tell me, what is your name? …Tetra? Ah, Tetra, Good. Very good. I sense you have already gained control over the sacred power that fills your staff when pointed air sky. The Airsky Strike is yours to command. It is proof that you are fit to bear the blade you carry, the Goddess Staff. I have sat here for many years waiting for you to arrive. All so that I could fulfill my purpose as your guide.

You stand under the roof of the Sealed Temple, a place built by the goddess an eternity ago. Your arrival here was predestined many, many years ago. The spirit maiden you seek arrived here shortly before you, descending to this land in a shower of light. There's no doubting it. The gears of fate have begun to turn. Yet all is not as it should be. The spirit maiden was not meant to reach this land in the manner she did. I feel an evil power working in the shadows. It moves to warp the destiny of which you two are a part.

Tetra… you are concerned for the spirit maiden and seek her whereabouts, yes? …That is understandable, but for now you must focus on moving forward. That girl has her own purpose she must pursue, as do you. she set out for Faron Woods to discover that destiny for herself, and you must follow.

Show me your map.

The X mark upon your map marks the path that will lead you to Faron Woods. You will be traveling in unfamiliar land. Many monsters have settled here, and a map may not prove guidance enough for you journey. And so I will give you the power to create beacons. When a beacon is marked on your map, a column of light will stand at that location. It will act as your waypoint from afar. Point at the X mark and press C Button to place a beacon.

You haven't set a beacon over X mark yet. To remove a beacon from your map, point at it and press c Button once more. If you aim to be more accurate with the placement of your beacons, zoom in with A Button before you lay one down.

Go on now. Point at X mark and press  C Button to place a beacon at that location.

Though you cannot see it from where we are, a beacon stands outside to guide you. Leave the temple through the front doors, and see for yourself. When you no longer have a use for a beacon, you can remove it from your map by pressing C Button. Use your beacons well, and you will never fear getting lost. Go now. You must head into Faron Woods and chase after the spirit maiden…the one you call Verona. On your way out, take the contents of the treasure chest within this room. What you find there should prove useful to you on your journey.

You are ready. Leave through the door before you, and head into the woods. I wish you safe travel.

Know that all the questions you have now will be answered in time. For now, Tetra, go bravely!

You got  some Revitlizing Potion! This potion fully replenishes your shield gauge and also restores four hearts!
