	Shining looked in the temple and saw that it was full of rooms. As he went from room to room he found a map and large key. He decided to look for a staircase to the next floor up. Shining saw that a locked door blocked the staircase so shining pulled out the key he got and it opened the lock on the door. He climbed up the stairs and saw an open room with a large chest at the far end of it.

Shining traveled down the room and he saw that there were walls along several walkways. He looked at the map and saw that the map showed three paths that could be taken. Shining went down the left path and soon found himself at a large chest. He opened it and saw that it had a small yellow orb inside it. Next to the orb was a scroll written in the ancient language of the Hyponian people.

Shining deciphered the scroll and saw that this was the moon pearl. This object could prevent anypony who entered the Dark World from changing into the natures’ self depiction. Shining went down the middle path and saw that it had a room full of fairies in it. Shining caught two of the three fairies and kept them for his journey. He went down the last path and saw that it lead to the boss chamber.

Shining took a look at the boss and saw that it was a huge centipede. He went into the room and attacked the huge insect and it was soon dying from a fatal wound Shining inflicted on it. Soon the bug fell over and died, a small gem appeared near the spot where the carcass lay dead. Shining picked it up and saw that he grew even stronger. 

Shining picked up the pendant that fell from the ceiling and saw that it was the last on he needed to get the master sword. Shining used the mirror to teleport to tower’s entrance and he left to get the master sword. Shining went down the mountain to the base and traveled to the entrance to the forest. He went inside to get the legendary blade to rescue the kingdom from the wizard’s clutches.
