He's less enthused than Sakura is, but he'll let himself be dragged along.

Still - 

"We shouldn't be out too long. If we don't find anything within an hour, we're turning back, okay?"

"Aw, where's your sense of adventure, Sura?" she teases as they cross the wasteland between the Fright Zone and the Whispering Woods.

"I'm going along on this, aren't I?" he asks, a bit snippy.

She shrugs, and turns the hover-skiff into the woods.

Now...

What goodies are here for her brilliant mind?

The whispering woods are kept out of for a reason. The trees seem to change locations when you aren't looking and going in a straight line from point A does not always end up at the same point B. And a tree branch that Sakura could have sworn she was clear of clips the skiff and causes it to buck and throw both of them out of there. Falling down beneath the canopy and onto the ground.

Fuck ow.

She goes flying, successfully tumbles and doesn't hurt herself too bad - 

But when she stands there's no sign of Sura, and no one responds when she hesitantly calls out.

Ow.

Sura isn't so lucky, but he's not banged up beyond his ability to walk, just bruised.

He stands, doesn't hear Sakura, but also doesn't start shouting, and looks around.

...He thinks he remembers where the edge was, he can't see the skiff, and he doesn't want to sit around to be rescued.

He starts walking.

There is a glow in the woods, white light reflecting off the trees from something shining just out of sight blocked by a little ridge. The trees even seem less sinister and brooding in the pure white light.
Sura could go closer to check out what it is if they were curious...

Probably not the edge. It's not that bright around the Fright Zone.

Maybe finding something will get Sakura to calm down - or at least redirect her energy - for a bit, though, so he turns to head towards it.

There is a big shiny glowing shining sword stuck upright in the ground. The Horde has swords but nothing like this. It still looks dangerous to cut someone with but it doesn't look menacing like a Horde sword would. A bit long for someone Sura's height to use in one hand so seems more like a two-handed broad sword. It's Beautiful and shining and pure.

...That is a very well made sword. It's cool, in a way Horde swords often aren't - 

Sakura can find her own entertainment, this's his salvage.

He goes up to try and pull the sword out of the ground.

As soon as Sura touches the sword there is a blinding flash of light, and then a vision of a blue planet for only half a second while a woman's voice says "Balance...must be restored".

More images flash by with barely any time between them. A flowering field, A Pink person sized gem hovering in the middle of some sort of golden flower shape on a pillar. "Etheria must seek a hero." the woman's voice continues. a flashing image of the sword upright, an image of a temple covered in vines.

Then Sura sees a caped woman with flowing hair billowing out behind her holding the sword while the sound of a baby crying can be heard, and the figure turns to look at him with shining white eyes.

"Sura...Sura..." The image changes to a purple woman looking at him head on calling his name.

The voice changes to Sakura's as Sura's eyes flicker open and realises Sakura is shaking him awake and calling his name.

"...The hell," he groans, sitting up.

"Easy, you took a pretty bad blow there. I couldn't find any injuries for why you were unconscious, but that doesn't mean something's not wrong internally."

" - I think. I had a vision. From the woods."

"Huh. That's usually not a property here... What was it?"

"A sword. A nice one."

She smiles and shakes her head. "You and swords... Might've been First Ones tech. There's a lot of ruins out here. We need to get back, but we can come back out to look for it later?"

"Alright. But I call dibs."

She laughs. "Fine. Just let me play with it sometime."

And then back.

Of course, to Sakura's eternal frustration, the next time they get an opening it's really only enough for one of them. Someone will have to stay behind to distract Shadow Weaver.

"Ugh," she groans after talking with Sura some. "Okay, so, you know where the shiny sword is, it's your salvage - but you better rush back, alright? I don't want to have to deal with her alone too long. And I call best friends get to poke at each others' fancy salvage rights."

"Fine. And thanks, Sakura. I'll be back soon, I promise."

And he sets out with a wave, into the woods to look for his vision-sword.

Meanwhile, in the castle bright moon, Princess glimmer has just been grounded by her mother the queen for having fought horde soldiers against orders. She is angrily writing in her Diary when an arrow thunks into the headrest and a little picture of a familiar face and the words "look outside." and an arrow pointing to the window rolls out of the shaft. So off she goes to the window.

It's her best friend Bow! standing outside the tower window on the border of the forest.
"Watch it! you almost hit me!."

"Heeeeyyy glimmer!." Bow shouts with enthusiasm (as he does most things with boundless enthusiasm), waving up at the window.

"Shhhhh! Bow what are you doing here?!" She tries to whisper-yell down at him so her mother wouldn't hear.
