Demise arrived at the first of the flames, housed in a large cavern in a mountainside of Faron Woods. He set Girahim upon his feet and pointed to the flame.
"Believe it or not," he said slowly, "I am giving you a choice. You are the best of my swords, which is why I gave you a living form. I do hope that you will join with your master. However, the choice of whether or not to step into the flame is yours. There is no going back."
Demise turned his back, leaving Girahim to make his decision. He would not be happy if the boy stepped out of the cave, betraying him for Hylia... or Fi. He had to give him a choice however. The metal of a blade with divided loyalties would proove to be weak. Demise also, after all, had some sense of fairness.
