Rivali's day was typical, filled with the usual tasks of battling monsters, attending to the princess, carrying out his Champion responsibilities, and teasing Link. He was hard-working and always gave his best in everything he did. After a long week in the capital, he finally returned home, looking forward to a well-deserved relaxation. Even though he wasn't the Rito leader, he was respected by many of his peers for his dedication and loyalty. Despite all his challenges, Rivali never lost his positive attitude and always found joy in the small things, even if he never showed it.
Revali may have come across as cold and unyielding, but he treated The Rito with kindness and respect. The Hylans, on the other hand, were often rude and dismissive towards him and his people. Revali felt it best to mirror their behavior and give them a taste of their medicine. He found it both amusing and frustrating that they would act as if they had done nothing wrong and didn't deserve any mistreatment, especially regarding Link. Of course, he never showed this attitude towards the princess, knowing full well the consequences, but he did direct it towards her loyal knight. However, he grew tired of this approach, leaving him alone in the best times.
When he arrived home, he would be greeted by young Rito trainees and songbirds singing sweet melodies. However, today was different. They all rushed towards him as he approached, chirping and tweeting with excitement, except for one little Rito, who hesitated and stared at him for a few minutes before sadly walking towards Rito Village. The sight of little Rito's troubled expression tugged at his heartstrings. He wondered what could have happened to upset the young bird so much. Was it something he had done, or was it something else entirely? As he pondered these questions, he made a mental note to check in with the other Rito trainees to see if they knew anything about what might have been troubling the little one.
As Rivali continued to search for the young Rito, he couldn't help but wonder where the boy could have gone. He knew that the Hebra region was vast and many dangers lurked in the wilderness. He hoped that the young bird had not run into any trouble.
As he walked through the Village, Rivali noticed that the other Rito seemed to be doing their daily business as usual. Some tended to their gardens, while others were busy with their crafts. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. He couldn't help but feel that the young Rito's disappearance was more than a coincidence.
Rivali decided to ask some more, hoping someone had seen the young bird. He went door to door, asking if anyone had any information about the missing Rito. However, no one seemed to have seen anything out of the ordinary.
As the day wore on, Rivali began to lose hope. He knew the longer the young Rito needed to be included, the less likely he would be found. However, he refused to give up. He was determined to find the boy, no matter what it took.
Just as he was about to give up for the day, Rivali spotted a group of Rito children playing near the edge of the Village. He approached them, hoping they had seen the missing young Rito. As he approached the group, he noticed a flash of white feathers. Could it be him? Rivali's heart skipped a beat as he came to the young bird, hoping he had finally found the missing Rito.
Instead, he found a grandson of the Village Elder who happily greeted him and asked him how his meeting with the King and Princess went. Revali started to boast about his little adventure but quickly got the conversation short by asking the young Rito if he had seen anyone his age with the same colors. The young one just shook his head and told him that the only ones that had his colored feathers were his family, and he was the only one that was young.
Of course, Revali was aware of this fact, having spent his entire life in the central Village. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something to be concerned about regarding this young Rito. By the end, he called it a day and returned to his Hut without any answers about the young one.

As usual, Urbosa returned close to nighttime after a meeting with the King, the princess, and other Champions. Despite feeling tired, she knew she had to fulfill her duties as the chief of her Village and immediately began helping anyone who needed assistance. During her rounds, she overheard some women mentioning a young teenage child who had been going around and helping with small tasks. While it wasn't initially noteworthy, they noticed the girl asked many questions as the day progressed.
Urbosa walked up to the woman and inquired about their conversation. The woman shared that they were discussing a young lady who recently appeared in the Village, appearing to have Gerudo heritage. Despite not knowing her, the villagers adored her for her diligent work ethic and willingness to comply with requests without complaint. The only peculiar aspect about her was her tendency to ask numerous questions, some of which seemed pointless while others were intrusive.
As Urbosa listened to the woman's account, she couldn't help but feel intrigued by the mysterious newcomer. Who was she, and why did she ask so many questions? Urbosa resolved to investigate further and get to the bottom of the matter. She knew that as a trusted member of the community, it was her duty to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in the Village. With that in mind, Urbosa set out to meet the young lady and see what the fuss was about for herself.
Without disclosing her true identity, Urbosa inquired if the woman knew the young girl's whereabouts. Unfortunately, they had no information to offer. The girl was not lodged in the usual hotel in town, and nobody had seen her enter any of the houses. This was a peculiar situation, and they decided to leave her for a while. Urbosa probed further and asked if anyone had seen her today in the hope of running into her. Disappointingly, the answer was negative. It was puzzling that the girl had vanished without a trace once she had returned to town.
Urbosa spent a few more minutes contemplating the situation before returning to the Main Palace to gather her thoughts. She continued to wonder about the identity of the mysterious girl and what her purpose could be for appearing now. It was not uncommon for Gerudo women to have children outside of the Village, but they usually sent their daughters to be raised as proper Gerudo warriors in the Village. This new development sparked many questions in Urbosa's mind, and she knew she needed to find some answers.
As she leisurely made her way down the bustling street, Urbosa couldn't shake the nagging sensation that she was being closely monitored. Her innate instincts kicked in, and she attempted to appear as calm as possible while scanning her surroundings for any sign of a potential threat. Her eyes darted back and forth, checking every nook and cranny, hoping to identify the source of her unease. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a young Gerudo girl standing alone. Urbosa's curiosity was piqued, and she approached the girl with a friendly smile, attempting to ease any tension that may have been present. To her surprise, the girl's expression shifted from neutral to displeased, and she hastily scurried away. Urbosa was taken aback by the girl's sudden reaction and felt an inexplicable urge to follow her. She maneuvered through the crowd, keeping her eyes peeled for any sign of the girl, but she vanished without a trace, leaving Urbosa feeling perplexed and somewhat mystified.
Urbosa couldn't shake the feeling that she was being followed as she did her duties. It was as if a pair of eyes were permanently fixed on her, watching her every move. Her mind drifted back to the young girl she had encountered just a few days ago. Was she somehow responsible for this eerie sensation that had taken hold of her? Urbosa couldn't be sure, but she couldn't let her guard down either. She scanned her surroundings constantly, looking for any sign of the girl, but there was no trace of her. Urbosa tried to push these thoughts to the back of her mind, but the feeling persisted, haunting her even in moments of solitude. It was as if something ominous was on the horizon, and Urbosa couldn't help but feel that it was somehow connected to the mysterious girl.

Mipha was feeling incredibly anxious. She had just arrived home to discover her younger brother was missing, and the guards had been searching for him for two long and agonizing days. They had looked in his usual spots and the surrounding waterfalls, but he was nowhere to be found. Everyone was deeply concerned, including his father, who had spent a whole day searching but returned without luck. Mipha couldn't help but worry about her brother's safety and well-being. She knew how much he loved to explore, but he had never been gone for this long before. The thought of him being lost or injured somewhere was too much for her to bear. She tried to stay calm and focused, but her mind raced with horrible scenarios. She knew she had to do something to help find her brother, but she didn't know where to start. She decided to take matters into her own hands and began to search the surrounding areas herself. She scoured every inch of the forest and the mountains, but there was still no sign of him. Mipha refused to give up and kept searching day and night, hoping against hope that she would find her beloved brother safe and sound.
Three long days had passed when he reappeared as if nothing had happened. Tottika, diligently guarding the bridge, was the first to spot the Zora prince swimming back home. He immediately jumped into the water to catch the young Zora and checked him unharmed before rushing to the Palace to return him to his worried family. Upon seeing her brother, Mipha was overjoyed and asked him if he was okay, what had happened to him, and why he had been gone for so many days.
Prince Sidon tightly embraced his elder sister, refraining from divulging his whereabouts to her. They parted ways momentarily before their father inquired about his absence in the last few days. The boy shrugged and muttered that he had been exploring and had lost track of time. He also mentioned making a new friend on a nearby pathway and assisting them with directions. His father immediately scolded him for not leaving the guards to handle any lost individuals on the path. The boy began to cry and regretted wandering off for so long. His father felt remorse for making his son cry but reassured him that everything would be okay and that his safety and return home were the most important things.
Mipha was deeply concerned about her brother's prolonged absence from the domain. Despite searching high and low, she could not locate him or any indication of his whereabouts. His explanation of being near the path did not match their extensive search of the surrounding trails and inquiries with Travelers. Mipha even went as far as to search the monster camps in the area but to no avail. She was worried sick and knew her brother would never lie to her or anyone else, making his sudden disappearance all the more puzzling and concerning. She couldn't help but wonder if something terrible had happened to him, and she couldn't shake off the dread that enveloped her. As the days passed, Mipha's anxiety grew, and she could not focus on anything else.
Sidon's early morning routine was always a mysterious affair. Often, he would wake up before anyone else in the domain and sneak off to have breakfast before diving into the water below. Despite being watched by someone, the person would often lose sight of him as he went down the waterfall. It was a strange and enigmatic occurrence that left many scratching their heads in wonder. Sometimes, Sidon would reappear minutes later in the domain waters, seemingly unfazed by his disappearance. Other times, however, he would be gone for hours, leaving those who knew him worried and anxious. Even Mipha tried to follow him on one occasion but ultimately lost sight of him. The mystery of Sidon's early morning disappearances remained unsolved, leaving everyone in the domain curious and worried for the prince.

Upon returning to Goron City, Daruk was approached by many concerned Gorons regarding the deactivation of his Divine Beast, Vah Rudania, from the inside. Near Death Mountain, only the Village Elder and Daruk were allowed entry for safety reasons and to prevent any harm to the Divine Beast. The news of its deactivation from within was distressing to hear. Additionally, reports of a young Goron spotted around Death Mountain were cause for concern. Although he could not be recognized from a distance, the Gorons called him to return to the city. However, the young Goron quickly ran deeper into Death Mountain.
They tried to follow the Goron but quickly lost sight of him as he rolled away and disappeared behind a corner. They had searched the area for a few minutes before rapidly returning to the city, where they had instantly informed the Goron Elder About this new development.
The Village Elder decided to wait for Daruk's return to handle the situation. As soon as Daruk returned, he checked his Divine Beast to ensure nothing was wrong. Everything was fine, except that it had been deactivated. After reactivating it, he searched the entire Divine Beast but found nothing out of place. He then searched the entire Death Mountain with his Divine Beast but couldn't find the Young Goron everyone had been discussing.
He searched for several hours, and it was already nighttime when he returned to the city to report to the Elder that he hadn't seen anyone on Death Mountain. Just as he finished talking, one of the Gorons behind him shouted that someone was next to the Divine Beast. They all turned around and saw a young Goron climbing Death Mountain, reaching its peak.
They shouted at him to come down, but they knew he couldn't hear them. The young Goron suddenly turned around and stood still, looking down upon everyone in the town. He might have heard them yelling, but he walked around the Divine Beast and disappeared instead of coming down to investigate.
The Gorons needed clarification and guidance on what to do next. The Elder called for a meeting to discuss the situation. Everyone in the Village attended the meeting and shared their concerns and ideas about handling the situation. Some suggested they send a search party up the mountain to bring the young Goron back, while others indicated they should wait for him to come down on his own.
After much deliberation, they decided to wait for the young Goron to come down alone. They knew he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone, so they figured he would eventually come down if they waited long enough. The days passed, and the young Goron was still nowhere to be found. The Gorons began to worry, and some even started to panic.
Daruk took matters into his own hands and went up the mountain to search for the young Goron. He searched high and low, but he couldn't find him. By the end of the week, he came back empty-handed; he used to be Divine Beast, but I couldn't find a trace of him. Hopefully, the young one was all right.

Zelda and her loyal knight strolled through the Castle Ground Gardens, enjoying the warm breeze and the beautiful scenery. It was a rare moment of peace for her, as her father had grounded her for neglecting her power training. Completing her studies had been grueling, but she managed to do it, and now she was finally allowed to leave the castle. Still, she couldn't help feeling annoyed that her knight was always required to accompany her.
As they walked, Zelda searched for her favorite flower, a beautiful silent princess that always lifted her spirits. However, she soon realized that she might be unable to find it in the gardens. She had spent most of the day studying in the library, and by the time she had finished, most of the flowers had already been picked. Her knight, ever silent and stoic, followed her wherever she went, never speaking unless spoken to.
Zelda couldn't help but feel frustrated with him. She longed for someone to talk to and understand her and make her laugh. But her knight was not that kind of person. He was a loyal servant without emotions, personality, or life outside his duties.
Still, Zelda was determined to enjoy the day. She walked around the gardens, admiring the statues and fountains and chatting with the gardeners. They were happy to see her and showed her some of the rarest and most beautiful flowers in the gardens. Zelda was fascinated by their stories and their passion for their craft.
Even then, Link never uttered a single word or a grunt, just followed her around like a lost dog. It always annoyed her whenever he was like that, especially under her father's orders. But there wasn't much to say other than to try to get away from him even though it rarely ever worked, and when it did, it was always when she was researching the Divine beasts. But sadly, she was unable to come into contact with any of the Champions as of late because of her studies. She knew she had gotten letters but hadn't had time to look at them anytime soon.
Zelda pondered over the Champion's Divine beasts and the Guardians when something seemed amiss. Link, who was accompanying her, was also on high alert as he sensed an odd feeling in the vicinity. Even though the gardeners were going about their business as usual, there was an air of something about to happen.
Suddenly, a scream shattered the silence, and all eyes turned to the source. A female Gardener was gazing at the sky, hoping to spot some birds to feed. To her surprise, she noticed something approaching from the sky. Initially, she assumed it was a bird, but as it drew closer, she grew anxious until she let out a piercing scream that alerted everyone to the impending danger.
She claimed that one of the Dragons had appeared out of nowhere and was headed toward them. As everyone looked up, they saw a dragon approaching, but it wasn't one of the three dragons of Hyrule.
The majestic Dragon that had appeared out of nowhere sent a wave of panic through the castle and its inhabitants. Its white body contrasting with blue horns and yellow fur blowing in the wind, it zoomed towards the castle at a breakneck speed, surprising everyone who hadn't spotted it earlier.
Always ready for action, Link sprang into position beside the princess and unsheathed his master sword, prepared to defend her at all costs. Still, at the last moment, it veered away from the castle and soared into the sky, circling the area a few times before disappearing.
The commotion caused by the Dragon's sudden appearance had everyone on edge. The gardeners hurriedly escorted the princess inside the castle while Link and other knights stood guard outside, ready to attack the Dragon if it returned.
As time passed, it became clear that the Dragon was not returning. The castle and its inhabitants slowly returned to their everyday routines, but the memory of the majestic creature lingered in the minds of all who had witnessed its brief appearance.
Link waited patiently outside the throne room as Zelda met with her father. She emerged looking a little shaken but otherwise okay. Her father had asked what had happened, and she had explained that a strange dragon had approached the castle and caused a commotion. This was different from the usual dragons of Hyrule, which typically followed a routine and did not cause trouble.
The King was concerned for his daughter's safety and ordered her to stay within the castle walls. He told her to request anything she needed and to remain in her quarters until the danger had passed. Zelda was a little disappointed that she couldn't explore outside the castle, but she knew her father was only trying to protect her.
As she retreated to her quarters, Zelda couldn't help but wonder about the unusual Dragon. What could it possibly want from the castle? She tried to put the thoughts out of her mind and get some rest, but her mind was racing with possibilities. She hoped that the Dragon would not return and that everything would return to normal soon.
Once she reached her room, Zelda dismissed Link, but he refused to leave and stood outside her door as usual. She rolled her eyes and closed the door before walking to her desk by the window. From there, she had a clear view of the entire Kingdom, which seemed to be in turmoil. Many places that were usually illuminated were now dark to avoid attracting the attention of the Dragon.
After some contemplation, Zelda decided to clear her mind and began reading the letters sent by the Champions. As she read, she became increasingly fascinated by what she learned. The Dragon was not one of the usual ones found in Hyrule, and strange occurrences were happening all across the Kingdom without her knowledge. She was even more intrigued than before.
