Once more I found myself in the room I'd met my haunter, and once again it sat there under some kind of object. This time however there was a small tree growing next to it. As it began to speak I noticed that it sounded less ghastly and more humanly.
"Praise you Robin. Conquer him you did. Take his place you now will. Your friends were your foes. Your foes now your friends. Here, take this to call them!" Said the creature handing over some kind of blue instrument. It nearly fit into my hand, and was light to hold.
"Now a secret song to learn. Listen to my hum and repeat when you feel ready." The voice said. It began to hum a six-note tune which I copied with the instrument.
"This is the oath your foe friends ave sworn. An oath of order it is. Use wisely, if used too much your friend foes will be once again foes. Understood Robin?" Asked the impish figure. Before I had time to answer, my vision had faded to white an a quiet ringing sounded. I opened my eyes to find myself in the same place I had fallen with Link beside me, still unconscious. In my hand was the blue instrument I had been given, so I pocketed it and woke Link. He roused fairly quickly, and we were soon standing and ready to leave. As the doors opened, we were greeted with happier looking deku soldiers. We left the palace and back in the direction of the village we had been captured in. As we arrived there, I saw that the pikmin had continued to aid the villagers, and the whole mood of the village was happy. I called forth all the pikmin and said to them "I am thankful for all that you have done, and all that you are willing to do. Please ensure that every village is as happy as this one, tell the others to do the same. This is now my forest, and I want it to be a happy one!" The pikmin gave up a short cheer before returning to work.
"Onto Yilisse?" I asked Link.
"Onto Yillise at last, Robin." He replied.

After a good few hours of walking, the trees began to thin out. A huge plain of grass now formed the landscape before us. In the distance I made out a vast settlement, similar to Hyrule in fact. The kingdom of Yillise.
"You know," Link said "Whenever I arrive here I always feel so... Serene."
"I feel that too. Although we do still need to stay on track an reach the kingdom before-" my words were cut short by the smell of burning and a huge explosion at the castle. PBG's army had already begun their assault on Yilisse.
