Ori and the decayed land

Chapter 4: Freeing the gears of the old mil

Ori and Sein began to look around before seeing the same yellow and purple blob that Ori found earlier "Another one of those." Ori spoke before destroying it with his spirit edge, causing three of the wooden gears to spin at extreme speeds. "Is it safe for those gears to move that fast?" Sein asked "These gears help move the wheel of the mill. So, they would need to move this fast." Seir answered.

Ori soon found another path above where they were "There's a path up there. Let's continue to free the rest of the gears." he said before he performed a charge jump up to the path with Sein following.

The trio soon came to a spinning gear. Ori looked up to see another blob on a set of gears "Another blob but it looks to be out of reach even with charge jump." Ori spoke as he looked at the blob. Ori soon had a crazy idea as he cautiously approached the spinning gear "Ori what are you doing?" Sein asked him "I just had a crazy idea. What if I use the gear to get up to the blob so I can destroy it?" Ori answered. Ori soon placed his paw on the gear and imminently began spinning with the gear "WOAH! THIS IS EXTREMELY FAST!" Ori yelled before he launched himself in the direction of the blob.

Ori landed in front of the blob, he felt extremely dizzy from spinning, but he destroyed it causing more gears to spin.

Ori then returned to Sein and Seir "Wow. That made me really dizzy." he said as sitting down to recover from the dizziness.

Once Ori had recovered, he stood up and he and Sein continued to free the other gears. A few minutes pass as the two spirits destroyed more of the blobs and soon came to a closed door "Another closed door. How do we open this one?" Sein asked. "There might be something down that path that opens the door." Ori spoke as he looked at a path "Well, it's worth to look." Sein replied before they took the path.

The trio soon came across an ancestral tree, it had a spiral shaped trunk to it "Oh... a spirit perished here..." Seir spoke with sadness "It seems like it. Despite my memory returning, I don't know who became this ancestral tree." Ori replied with the same sadness. "Well, we know what to do, right Ori?" Sein spoke to Ori which he nodded and both spirits approached the blue tree and placed a paw on it which caused the light from the tree to enter their bodies.

Ori and Sein have acquired Grapple! Ori and Sein can now grapple towards blue plants, enemies, and fling themselves using moonblossoms!

"A grapple. I already figured out how to use it back in Nibel." Ori spoke "You already knew how to use the grapple before coming to Niwen?" Seir replied a little surprised from what Ori said "Yeah and it's not just the grapple either. I also managed to form a sword of flames which was similar to the spirit edge, and my body would heal itself when I would get hurt." Ori told Seir. "It seems you were beginning to remember your previous life before coming to Niwen." Seir replied. Ori soon nodded "Yeah. We should get back to freeing the gears." he then spoke with Sein and Seir agreeing.

The three soon saw a blue plant hanging from a piece of wood "A moonblossom. I believe we can grapple towards it." Ori spoke before he sent out a trail of golden light towards the moonblossom. Ori was soon flung towards the hanging plant before flying past it and hit the wooden wall. Sein imminently felt worried as she saw Ori hit the wall and quickly went to his side by grappling the moonblossom. "Ori! Are you ok?!" she asked "Yeah, I'm fine. At least we know that we can grapple the moonblossoms." Ori replied as he got up onto his hooves.

Seir floated over to the spirits "Sein and I are glad that you're ok, Ori." she spoke with Sein agreeing with her sister "Believe me, Seir. I've survived worse." Ori replied, remembering all the times that he and Sein were in a life or death situation during their journey in Nibel. The trio continued to head back to the door soon after.
