Link spurs epona into a gallop seeing the state you're in, you've started to shiver ever so gently from all the blood you had lost

As link arrived at the first gate, he was instantly let in given how he is the appointed knight of princess zelda and is the one destined to fight ganon head on, word travels quickly as link passed through the second gate while the elite guard watched with curiosity

Soon link was at the steps leading up to the castle, as he dismounted epona, he heard a very shocked gasp making him turn on his heels, as he did he saw mipha running down the steps towards your unconscious body
"What happened?!"

Link tried his best to explain the events that occurred, unable to hide his confusion as mipha sprung into action healing the protruding ribs and then your arm, she then proceeded to heal an unnoticed gash on your head, before getting you to a bed to rest, she made sure she hadn't missed anything else, with pressing matters dealt with... she had to ask... who is this man?

Link could only shrug at the question, even he had never seen a man like this
*3 days later*
Rumours had spread like wildfire and it only grew stronger as it eventually made it's way to the maids in the castle, they would gossip and guess as to who you are, why you're in hyrule, what race you could be and so on
A few maids had the chance to lay eyes on you as they went around performing their usual duties, a few thought you were cute but then a few others saw you to be quite intimidating even though you had been out cold... until..
You open your eyes, blink a few times and take a deep breath only to stop suddenly thinking your ribcage was still mangled, looking down, you were almost in disbelieve... you were healed up as if it never happened... wait did any of that happen?

You look around only to confirm it straight away as you looked at the unfamiliar room you were in,
It was a fairly large room with red carpet around a small circular table which held a vase with a variety of flowers, none of them you had ever seen before, most of the walls were bookcases filled to the brim with history and tales of battles and so on

You get up and get dressed while looking at them, reading the spine of the books, some of them were in english.. which was off to say the least as the rest were written in a strange writing you could only assume was this worlds language
You take another quick glance around when you suddenly spot your leather bag

"no way.."

You pick it up and look inside expecting the switch to be there but all there is a small Knife that was held tightly in a sheath, a book filled with blank pages and some items used for drawing. You rummage through that bag when you hear faint voices, you stay motionless for a moment, listening to see if they were approaching, they were..

In the heat of the moment you start to think of the worst
"Shit, time to leave.."
A memory plays in the back of your head..
Your eyes widen thinking about what they might do so you don't waste a second before coming to a decision, looking at the bookcases, you hoped to climb it and hide out of view but unfortunately they seemed to have been built into the walls, there was the bed but only a frightened kid would hide under a bed and then you'd be cornered for sure.
Looking behind you there was a balcony... you didn't even wanna consider that but the voices had grown louder and seemed to have stopped outside the room. You had no choice, you needed to get out.

With haste, you grabbed your bag, ran towards the balcony and climbed the railing, with only seconds to spare... you got down and hung out of view as the door opened. With clenched teeth and your heart thumping in your chest, you heard a concerned voice, it grew from concern to a worry.

"W-where did he go?"

You could feel your heart in your throat as you prayed whoever was there didn't walk out to the balcony. Just as you think about it, you practically jinxed yourself, seeing a figure emerge from the room and onto the balcony

"dont look down, please dont look down"
you repeated it over and over again in your head, you were snapped out of it after hearing what was now confirmed to be a lady asking someone of they had seen or heard anything while on guard

With a deep feeling of regret you looked in the direction the lady had spoken... if you weren't already fearing for your life, you would have lost your grip after laying witness to what was a humanoid bird with a dandelion yellow beak and navy blue feathers, he had been watching the whole time with a shocked expression...

There was silence... fear plastered over your face, you can tell he was about to tell the lady, there was no need, the birds look was more than enough to direct her attention down, seeing another balcony under you, you swing for it and land with enough momentum to get you into a sprint.

In that moment you heard the bird say that you were making a run for it, you heard a flap and then suddenly the light that cascaded into the vacant room was blocked out by his soaring figure, you rammed the door open and slammed it shut stopping the bird from getting too close, you continued running until you ran into what seemed to be the dining hall.

You slowed down thinking that running would only cause more chaos, walking in you pull your hood up over you head, only did you then realise you were wearing your own clothes so you stood out like a sore thumb.

Thankfully it seemed that the place was busy with small crowds scattered around the hall so you only stood out so much, not that it matters, the bird had just flown in causing the hall to fall silent as the occupants looked at him, he then practically shouted down the hall to you

"I wouldn't run if I were you"

You try to play it off, keep walking... suddenly a few people from both sides of the hall got up, wary of your presence. No more chances. You spring into a sprint again only just making it out of reach and again slamming the door on them, buying you precious seconds to get further away

Alarms are being raised now and that only made you fear of capture grow stronger, you put all your strength into running but it's no use, the bird lands in front of you thinking hes got you, a simple side step and you swerve around him as he stands there slightly dumbfounded but takes off again to catch up.

You're nearing the plaza from what you could remember from your brief moment of conscience, it had 3 paths, one leading up to the castle and 2 leading south and east, the issue was you could get lost in minutes due to the size of the place but you'd most likely escape the birds line of sight or you could jump onto the rooftops and avoid being lost for who knows how long and then be stuck with potential capture... you take the latter and make way for the back alleys but it's short lived, 4 individuals stood at the gate to the town.
You didnt have time to note any details but you could tell there was a young knight, a tall foreign looking woman wearing gold, a huge living bolder from your guess and a humanoid bright red fish blocking your path... rooftops it is then...
Suddenly the bird lands by the other 4 as if they expect you to stop...

Champions p.o.v

"He's not stopping.."

"I know."

"He's not stopping!"

"I can see that!"

"Get ready!"

*weapons drawn, everyone expecting a fight*

They all watch as the stranger turns slightly, hops up to plant a foot on the wall to then leap across a huge gap leading to the rooftops, mouths gaping wide open watching him splay his body out with an arm extended towards the edge of the roof

It looks like hes gonna miss the ledge!
