In all my years of playing video games……….few games managed to really steer an emotional attachment quite like Ori and the Blind forest.

Apart from amazing art work, fun gameplay, sad and eventful story – the soundtrack is superb and magnifies the experience – credit to the composer **Gareth Coker** for such an amazing score and **Aerali Brighton** for her angel like vocal voice.

Some claimed the soundtrack was so good that it made them tear on the menu screen already…….having mapped that OST already, it’s time to move on to yet another amazing OST !

I would like to thank @TheCzar1994 for the testplay and the BSMG for the helpful feedback, could not of done it without their help ! 🙂

Forwarding from where we left on – Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark :

*SPLASH*

Was the sound of Ori being flung out off the roof of the Ginso Tree by the heavy stream of water, as said waters he worked so hard to restore almost claimed his very life.
As Ori landed on the ground with a tud, Sein hovered over him to check his well being, enjoying the calm and safe moments they have at last.

As the waters poured out of the Ginso Tree, Ori rose up from the ground and observed the breathtaking view – the waters of Nibel, restored and running once more towards Thornfelt Swamp !

With a calm and full moon night, Ori takes this precious moment to relax after the intense ordeal of escaping the waters…….

*CRACK*

Was the sound of thunder !
Looking to his left, Ori spotted a massive bird figure………..when it suddenly showed it’s true form with a screech !
Said bird was no less than Kuro herself – the figure responsible for the calamity and destrcution of his home !
Spotting Ori and Sein, Kuro flew over them and landed, shacking the entire ground !

Ori, stunned and fearful of the massive figure responsible for the calamity and destruction of his home and kin, started to run for his life towards the cliff, only to be chased and flung off of it by Kuro !

Dazed by the blow, Ori fell off the tall Ginso Tree while Kuro took to the skies and locked her gaze on the airborne and helpless Ori, moving in for the kill……..

As Kuro got closer and closer to Ori, it seemed that the fate of the realm was sealed, for the last hope of Nibels forest was about to be killed by the same cause that started it’s demise, devoured by blind hatred !

Sein, watching helplessly as Kuro moved in for the kill, could only hope for some miracle……

*SNATCH*

Was the last sound Ori remembered before fainting………..

……………………………………………………Time goes by…………………………………………….

Descending from the top of the Ginso Tree with Ori in his hands was Gumo, the same figure Ori was kindful towards and helped him in his peril despite being temporary rivals.
As he gently placed Ori on the ground, he smiled and run off with his acrobatic jumps, happy to see his friend well!

Ori, waking up, confused and unsure what happened, immediately gets embraced by Sein, who expressed deep concern for her companions health and well being.
She told him how he was knocked off the Ginso Tree by Kuro, and how in the last second Gumo managed to grab him from a the nearby branch and safely escape from Kuro’s sight.
Ori once more thought about that Gumon, after such a heart saving gesture he will surely meet him again after the realm will be restored, and will hopefully be best of freinds.

In-taking his surroundings, Ori watches as the waters of of the Ginso Tree fill the dried and murky lakes he once could not touch due to corruption.
A beautiful sight, the first steps to the restoration of the forest , a taste of what is to come!
As Ori appreciates the new scenery, he breaks into a dance of joy, much needed relief after two stressful events in a row !

Sein debriefs on their next destination, now with the restoration of the waters, they must turn their gaze to the Forlorn Ruins, which houses the second element – the winds.
It is also the home of the Gumon, which might grant an opportunity to meet the Gumo again……….

After a quick rest, Ori and Sein embark back to their journey, now with the waters cleansed, Ori can swim through the waters and reach the road ahead that was seemingly blocked untill now.
With a mighty jump, Ori nose dives into the water, followed by Sein as they swim through the coral reefs, towards the Misty Woods, which holds the key to the entrace of the Forlorn Ruins.

Will Ori and Sein find their way to the Misty Woods, without getting bitten by one of the fishes on the way ?
