Take to the sky and head for the Faron Woods cloud opening.
-Cut Scene-
As Link drops through the clouds, Groose follows. Groose grabs Links legs, hanging on for dear life. But even with the Sailcloth they crash land. Groose is shocked at what he sees around him. Tiny birds, and a Goron. He rattles Links cage asking, "What’s going on here?" Link explains it all to Groose and tells him that Zelda is OK. Groose is relieved. He thinks this place needs a name and tells Link it will be called "Grooseland".
Groose tells Link that he does understand that the Priestess knows where Zelda is. Groose tells Link that he has done a great job and can go home now. Groose will continue the search for Zelda on his own. He plans to save Zelda, then return her to Skyloft and be her boyfriend. Groose turns and leaves to find the Priestess. (Go to the temple and open the door)
As Link enters, he hears Groose is surprised to hear what the Priestess told him. Groose dares the Priestess to say it again. The Priestess says, "I only speak the truth. You are not the one who will save her. The spirit maiden, your Zelda, can only be saved by another. It has been his fate to do this thing, and in doing so save us. As it was decided long before you were brought crying into this world".
Groose says, "Shut it grannie". He tells the Priestess, "If anyone is going to save Zelda, it’s Groose". Groose then asks the Priestess, if he’s not the one, then who is?" She tells him it is Link. Groose does not believe it. Link steps up to them and Groose says he thinks it is all a joke. He says Link is no hero. Groose turns and runs away.
The Priestess greets Link and asks if he was able to catch up with Zelda. Link explains what happened. The Priestess tells Link that Zelda’s guardian is named "Impa". Now that the Time Gate is destroyed, there is only one way left to find them. She tells Link that he must make use of the harp, given to him by Zelda. The Priestess then teaches Link how to play the harp and the "Ballad of the Goddess". At the bottom of steps, a stone slab rises out of the floor. The Priestess says, "The melodies it brings to life have the power to produce a variety of strange and worldly effects". The Priestess tells Link that the slab before him is the "Gate of Time". It is the last of its kind and is the only portal between this world and that where Zelda is. The building begins to shake. The Priestess feels that the seal has been broken. She tells Link she will explain later and for him to rush to the bottom of the pit outside. (Go to the doors and open them)
Groose and the Priestess are outside. Groose is scared. The Priestess tells Link to check the "Sealing Spike" at the center of the pit, with caution. (Drop down to the pit and walk toward the spike) Dark fumes are coming from the Sealing Spike. Suddenly a monstrous creature emerges from below. It is the "Imprisoned". The same creature Link had seen in his dreams at the beginning. The Priestess, standing high above on the cliff, confirms the seal has broken. She tells Link that the Beast can not be allowed to escape the pit. It must not reach the temple.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))) THE IMPRISONED BEAST (((((((((((((((((((((((((((
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Attack the Beast’s white toes, three on the front and one at the back of each leg. With the toes destroyed, the Beast will fall to the ground. The Sealing Spike is protruding from its head. Run to its head and drive the spike in. This will cause damage, but not destroy him. Attack the toes again. When the Beast falls, it will start to crawl up the circular path while growing new toes. Use the geysers to get up to the path and ahead of the Beast. Attack the toes again and drive the spike back in. The Beast takes more damage. Repeat the attack. This time the Beast sends out a stronger electrical pulse each time its foot hits the ground. If Link is close, he will lose a few hearts. The third time the spike is driven in, the Beast turns bright white and explodes. The spike falls into the opening at the bottom of the pit. The Priestess tells Link to strike the Sealing Spike with a skyward strike to restore the seal. Do so and the spike is set. A triangle appears. With the sword, make a left diagonal slice, a right diagonal slice and a horizontal slice to make the seal permanent.
-Cut Scene-
Groose is now behind Link and says "Nice going". The Priestess walks up to Link and tells him how impressed she is, but Link has only gained a little more time in which to act. She tells Link that the Beast has great power and that the seal may give way again soon. She asks Link to return to the Sealed Temple, as there is much to discuss. The Priestess and Link walk away leaving Groose alone in the pit.
They walk up to the "Gate" (slab) and the Priestess tells Link it is sleeping for now. To wake it, will require great power. She feels a skyward strike might do it. As Link starts to walk up to the gate, the Priestess stops him to say that his sword lacks the power needed. She says that Link and his sword must grow together. Then her words are:
"Faron Woods…Eldin Volcano…and Lanayru Desert…
a sacred flame is hidden somewhere in each of
these lands. Seek them out, and purify your
sword in their heat". Only then "Will it be
fully imbued with the Great Power".
She tells Link that there are clues to finding the Sacred Flames in the lyrics of the Ballad of the Goddess. She tells Link to return to Skyloft to find someone who has knowledge of the Ballad.
Link has a vision of Zelda playing the harp. Groose walks up to the Priestess and nods his head. As Groose turns to leave, he says, "I guess you got it all figured out, grannie". Groose feels he is useless, but the Priestess says he is not and he has a role to play in all this. Groose leaves the temple. (open the doors of the temple)
Link is outside walking toward Groose. Groose tells Link that he couldn’t do a thing and that he is totally useless. Groose then runs up to a wall and begins to pound it with his fist.
-End Cut Scene-
Head back into the Faron Woods, where Link will run into Gorko. Talk to him and he tells Link that "there are walls and statues that respond to beautiful tones". Then Gorko asks Link if he has heard of a "Blessed Butterfly". Say "Nope". Gorko tells Link that it is blue and they have some kind of sixth sense. Gorko goes on to tell Link that certain walls, called "Goddess Walls", have things within them only accessible by the hero. Leave the arae and return later.
Go back to the Faron Woods, where Link will run into Gorko again. He tells Link he has found some, Blue butterflies that is. But Gorko can’t carry a tune. Walk up to the spot and strum the Goddess Harp. A "Gossip Stone" will appear. It tells Link that butterflies gather near Gossip Stones. Now head back to Skyloft.
