The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets of Castle Town. People of all ages and races hurried along the cobbled streets, each carrying out their daily routines in preparation for an eagerly awaited festival. The festival was being held to celebrate the upcoming meeting of different races from all over the Kingdom, and the excitement in the air was palpable.
Despite the festive mood, an underlying sense of tension could be felt among the Hyrulian people. They had always been proud of their heritage and were not particularly fond of the other races. It was challenging for them to put on a facade of friendliness with the other races, and it showed in their interactions. Nevertheless, they knew this was an important event, and they had to put their differences aside for the sake of the Kingdom.
As the sun rose higher in the sky and the day progressed, the civilians worked tirelessly to set up numerous stands. However, their enthusiasm seemed to wane as the task went on. They didn't seem to have any excitement or energy and instead appeared more annoyed as they cleaned the streets and transformed the once-ordinary roads into a small market with various stands. Despite this, they worked diligently, trimming several plants and decorating every corner of every road, adhering to the Royal Family's request.
After many hours of hard work, the market was finally ready. The children and teenagers were excited to explore the various stands from different regions of Hyrule. They were fascinated by the other items on display, from handmade crafts to exotic foods. They spent hours wandering around and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
However, the joyous mood was short-lived. A horn was suddenly blown, signaling the arrival of a guest who was to attend the Castle. The crowd quickly dispersed, making way for the first guest to enter through the gates of Castle Town. To their utter dismay, the sight that greeted them was a cause for disgust and anguish.
As the first group arrived, the Gorons made their presence known with their towering stature. They strolled down the streets, occupying most of the space, and emanated a cheerful attitude that belied the stares of the townsfolk. Their broad shoulders and muscular frames gave them a formidable appearance, but they walked gently, conveying a sense of calm. Despite the obvious discomfort of the onlookers, the Gorons paid no attention to their stares and continued on their way.
Daruk, a respected Goron warrior, led the pack and guided his comrades through the winding streets of the castle town. They approached Central Square, pausing momentarily to take in their surroundings. The square was bustling with activity, and the air was filled with the sounds of people going about their daily business.
After a brief rest, the Gorons continued their journey and crossed the castle moat bridge, which led them to the first Gatehouse of Hyrule Castle. The Gatehouse was an imposing structure with thick stone walls and a towering gate that barred entry to all but the most trusted visitors. The Gorons confidently approached the gate, knowing they had an important role to play in the events unfolding.
The guard approached Daruk, the Champion, and informed him that the meeting was scheduled for seven days. He then led Daruk through the first Gatehouse and onto the second one. Daruk was carrying a massive trunk filled with valuable information he had gathered about various things he had discovered in his Divine Beast. However, the security check was thorough, and even his trunk had to be thoroughly searched before he could proceed through the second Gate House.
After the search was completed, the guard escorted Daruk towards the Castle. The journey was long and tiring, and Daruk was glad when they finally arrived. The guard then led Daruk to his private room, where he would stay for the next week. Daruk was impressed by the room's grandeur and felt honored to stay in such a place.
Despite the guard's rude behavior, Daruk remained calm and polite. He understood that the guards were just doing their job, and he did not want to cause any trouble. As Daruk entered his room, the guards shut the door, leaving him alone.
Daruk sighed deeply as he entered the small bedroom allocated to him. He couldn't help but notice how cramped the space was, barely able to accommodate his hulking size. Glancing around the room, he saw sparse decor, with only a small bed, a rickety table, and a few basic amenities.
Daruk couldn't help but feel a sense of unease settle in his chest as he thought about his stay in Hyrule. Though the people had welcomed him upon his arrival, he knew how quickly their sentiments could change. He had been around long enough to see the looks of distrust and fear on their faces, to feel the coldness of their reception.
"At least they were friendly this time," he mumbled as he settled onto the bed, his massive frame dwarfing the small piece of furniture. He didn't bother to unpack, knowing he wouldn't stay longer than needed. The thought of overstaying his welcome in a land where he was viewed with suspicion and mistrust was not something he relished. He may be dense, but he wasn't oblivious to the undercurrents of hostility surrounding him.
Daruk, the Goron warrior, had always been aware of the strained relationship between his race and the rest of Hyrule. Despite being a friendly and welcoming race, Gorons were often met with hostility and suspicion when they ventured outside their own territory. This was especially true when they traveled to Central Hyrule, the heart of the Kingdom, where they were most likely to be viewed with distrust. Daruk found it ironic that his people went out of their way to accommodate visitors to Death Mountain but were not shown the same level of acceptance when they left their land. It was a sad reality that he had come to accept, but it still hurt him to see his people being discriminated against for no apparent reason.
Even though Hylians rarely ventured up Death Mountain, the Gorons didn't seem to mind too much. However, it would have been nice if they had welcomed the Gorons with open arms, as they had been included in their homes before. This was particularly important for the Daruk, the Champion of Vah Rudania - one of the primary defenses against any threats to Hyrule.
Daruk didn't dwell on the issue too much, as he had been to the Capitol many times, and this had always been a problem that didn't affect him too significantly, given that he rarely left Death Mountain. However, he was aware that his fellow Champions felt differently. In particular, Mipha, who was not only a champion but also a princess of her own race, had been shown a notable lack of respect by the Hylians. This deeply troubled Daruk, as he believed that all Champions members deserved to be treated with the utmost care, regardless of their background status or race, especially a princess.
He shook off the feeling of disdain from the civilian's lack of courtesy and his presence, which had never really bothered him before, and it was not going to start now, and he continued to look around the room. He knew he would stay here for the next couple of days and would have to ask the guards in the hallways to bring him some of his favorite meals that they always seemed stuck on whenever he came to visit.
In the following two days after his arrival, Daruk spent most of his time confined to his room, leaving only to request some training from the Knights who were on duty. However, he quickly realized that the Knights were not in the mood for combat training, so he left them alone for the rest of the day.
On the second day, Daruk noticed Revali flying in from a distance. Intrigued by Revali's arrival, Daruk decided to wait for him in the Garden, a designated area for the visitors. The park was filled with blooming flowers and beautiful trees, a perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon.
----
Revali's mood was sour as he reluctantly went to Castle Town. He knew he was in for a long week, filled with Hyrulians talking behind his back and whispering about how they didn't need the Rito and how useless they would be. This was common every time he visited Castle Town and Central Hyrule, but it still stung every time.
After a grueling day of travel, Revali and his band of at least 30 Rito warriors finally arrived at the entrance of Castle town, their treasure chests filled to the brim with information on his Divine beast and the history of the Rito. He was disappointed to learn that he couldn't fly directly to the Castle, as he would have liked, because that would pose a flight risk for the royal family. Instead, they had to land just outside Castle Town and walk the rest of the way to the Castle, which would take even more time and effort.
As he landed on the ground, his eyes met the stern stares of five guards stationed outside Castle Town. He stood there, gazing back at them, waiting for their response as they glared at his presence. He calmly informed them that he was there for the meeting, and after a few moments of glaring, they allowed him and his warriors to enter the town.
As he walked through the streets, he couldn't help but feel the weight of the disdainful glances cast his way by the townspeople. They whispered to each other, and he could hear their hushed voices as they expressed their displeasure at his presence. The town was decorated with various flowers, but their beauty couldn't hide the people's animosity toward him and his Rito companions.
He continued his journey to Central Square, where the Castle stood tall and imposing. Despite the beauty of the town, it was clear that he was not welcome there.
Revali was approached by one of his Warriors who requested permission to visit a stand where he had previously been allowed to sell some of his arrows and other wares. Revali, in a calm and composed manner, gave his consent to the request.
"Sir, if I may," the Warrior said, showing respect and courtesy to his leader.
"You may go. Take a couple of warriors with you," Revali replied, gesturing them to proceed. He knew they wouldn't be allowed inside the Castle due to security measures, so he encouraged them to enjoy their time outside.
"They won't be allowed in the castle anyway, so you might as well enjoy your time here," he added, waving them away. He also instructed a couple of warriors to stay back and assist in carrying the chests, showing his concern for their safety and convenience.
The Warrior was grateful for the permission granted and left with a few fellow warriors to sell his wares. Revali watched them go, feeling satisfied that he had been able to assist his people in a small way.
As Revali made his way to the first Gatehouse, he felt a surge of excitement mixed with apprehension. He knew he would be thoroughly searched before he could enter Central Hyrule, but he didn't expect the intensity of it. The guard searching for him seemed to enjoy rummaging through his belongings, and Revali couldn't help but feel insulted.
"Are you done yet?" he snapped at the guard. "I am a champion, and I demand to be treated with respect."
The guard glared at him and told him it was necessary. "If you don't like it, you can leave Central Hyrule and return home," he added with a hint of hostility.
Revali gritted his teeth but didn't argue further. He knew he had to be patient to enter the Castle. He watched as the guard searched his clothes and feathers for hidden weapons or contraband. Revali felt violated, but he tried to keep his cool.
"Seeing as I am in control of one of the Divine Beasts, I expect a little bit of dignity to come with this search," he muttered.
The guard rolled his eyes but didn't respond. Finally, after an eternity, the guard was satisfied with his search and let Revali go to the second gate. There, he had to bid farewell to his Warriors, who had to stay in a hotel with the rest of the Kingdom subjects and guards. Revali couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy as he watched them disappear into the bustling city. He knew he had a duty to fulfill, but he couldn't help but feel a bit lonely and isolated.
After waiting hours, Revali was finally granted permission to enter the Castle. A guard was assigned to escort him to his private room, which he had been given permanently. However, Revali's impatience got the best of him, and he decided to fly up to his room himself instead. As he soared into the sky, he ordered his belongings to be delivered quickly, not wanting to waste any more time.
The guards tried to stop him, but Revali just rolled his eyes at them. "I already know where to go. There's no need to worry," he snapped at them before continuing. The guards quickly followed him with his belongings, hoping to prevent further incidents.
Upon reaching his room, Revali greeted the guards with a smug smirk. "What, are you upset that a Rito warrior is faster and better than you?" he taunted them. The guards were unfazed by his behavior and began to unload his belongings into his bedroom.
Revali quickly dismissed them and returned to reading a book he had brought from his Divine Beast. The book detailed the history of an ancient mine and how it was used to aid the Old King with his powers.
Revali, with a sudden burst of energy, leaped onto the bed with great agility and quickly immersed himself in his book, completely disregarding the presence of the guards in the room. Feeling disrespected and belittled by Revali's actions, the guards exchanged exasperated glances and promptly stormed out of the room to report the incident to their higher-ups.
After an hour of being cooped up in the room, Revali began to feel restless and decided to venture outside. He went to the Garden, where he found Daruk waiting for him. Revali couldn't help but roll his eyes at Daruk's overly enthusiastic demeanor, but he knew they were both in the same boat and being treated as inferior at the meeting.
Even the gardeners seemed to disdain them and gave them side-eyes and glares as they worked diligently in the Garden.
As Revali arrived, Daruk greeted him with a warm smile, drawing the attention of the others around them. "Revali, you have finally arrived. I've been waiting here for about two days," he said, happy to see his friend.
Revali chuckled at Daruk's enthusiasm. "I know you can't live without me," he joked as he greeted his self-proclaimed friend. "So, am I the second one to arrive?" he asked, curious about who else had made it.
Daruk nodded in confirmation. "Yep, it's just you and me for now, buddy," he replied with a grin. "The princess greeted me a couple of days ago, but it was just in passing while she was doing some kind of research. She seemed pretty busy, but I'm sure she'll make time to see us soon."
"Good to know she's doing well," Revali said with a nod.
Daruk's face lit up with pride. "Yes, also, Link was here just the other day," he said. "He looked to be very healthy and in good spirits. I think he's been training hard, preparing for whatever comes our way."
Revali, the proud Rito warrior, rolled his eyes at Daruk's words and perched himself on a tree next to a bench by the fountain. "Yes, the Royal Knight," he said sarcastically, "the one who can never do anything wrong, the perfect golden champion."
Daruk, the jovial Goron champion, laughed heartily at Revali's comment. "Oh, come on, don't be like that, Revali," he said, trying to lighten the mood. "He's just like you and me."
But Revali wasn't having any of it. He continued his rant about how the Royal Knight used his title to gain favor with the royal family, even though he didn't deserve it. Revali was convinced that the knight was using his status to advance his selfish interests and didn't hesitate to voice his opinions. He went on and on, listing why he despised the knight and believed he was a disingenuous and unworthy champion.
Daruk listened patiently but knew he wouldn't change Revali's mind. So he simply enjoyed the pleasant surroundings, watching the water fountain gurgle and splash against the bright blue sky.
It wasn't until the next day, when Mipha, the gentle Zora princess, arrived that Revali finally shut up about the Royal Knight. Her arrival was a welcome distraction from their argument, and the two champions were happy to see her.
----
As Mipha arrived at the Castle, she couldn't help but notice the stares from the people around her. It was a stark contrast from the admiration and dedication she was used to receiving. Instead, the looks were filled with contempt and judgment. Nevertheless, she remained calm and composed as she walked through the front gate with her royal Zora guard.
Despite the unwelcome reception, Mipha greeted the guards stationed at the gate with a warm smile. However, she was met with a cold response. Undeterred, she continued her journey, passing through the first and second gates with all her belongings. As she walked on, she noticed that her guard remained vigilant and alert, ready to protect her at a moment's notice.
Although her personal guards were hesitant to leave her side, they understood that it was necessary to show a sign of trust to the Royal Family who had invited them. As a result, they reluctantly left her and returned to the motel they were assigned near the Rito and Gorons.
Mipha was feeling restless and on edge. Her younger brother had returned to the Zora Domain after a long absence, and while she was elated to see him again, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was not quite right. He stuck to her side like glue, refusing to let her out of his sight even for a moment. When she had to leave the Castle to attend the Champions' meeting, he had burst into tears, begging her to let him come with her.
Mipha's heart ached to see her brother in such distress, but she had to be firm. She knew the meeting was paramount and couldn't risk any distractions. She sternly told him he had to stay behind and return to their father, promising she would return soon. The boy reluctantly complied, but not before giving her a tearful and heartfelt hug that lasted for an eternity.
As Mipha made her way to the meeting, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. She decided to make it up to him as soon as possible, but for now, she had to focus on the job. She had important information to share with the other Champions.
Despite having uncovered secrets about the ancient civilization and the mysterious figure in Hyrule who could infiltrate the Zora domain undetected, Mipha couldn't shake her nerves. She was about to enter the castle grounds, where she knew she would be given more respect than other races due to her royal status, but she still felt hesitant. Even though she was a princess in her own right, she knew many still regarded her as lesser than most Hylains because she was a Zora. She was acutely aware of the difference in treatment she received and the way she was spoken to. Urbosa, who had more Hylian features than most of the other Champions, was the only one who received equal respect from the others. Mipha couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as she took a couple of steps towards the castle gates, knowing that she would have to navigate the social hierarchy within the castle walls again. She felt isolated as if she were an outsider looking in.
As she made her way up the grand steps to the Garden, her heart was heavy with worry. The plush gardens were a welcome breather from her usual quarters, and she had requested to be taken there. The guards accompanying her had already informed the other two Champions of her arrival, and she was eager to see them.
Upon reaching the Garden, she was greeted by the sight of Daruk and Revali. Daruk's warm smile instantly put her at ease, and he asked her about her recent travels in a friendly manner. Revali, on the other hand, was aloof and simply inquired about her family, his piercing gaze fixed on her.
Despite her reservations, she confided in Revali about her current troubles. He had always been her trusted ally, and she knew she could count on him to keep her secrets. She spoke at length, pouring out her heart to him, but refrained from sharing her deepest fears about her brother.
Revali and Daruk's faces filled with worry as they learned that Mipha's brother had been missing for quite some time. They had met him before and had grown close to him, and the thought of him being in danger was a cause of concern for them. They quickly asked Mipha if her brother was OK and what had happened to him. Mipha reassured them that her brother was fine and was only playing with his new friend and that she would explain everything in detail later in the meeting.
Despite the reassurance, Revali and Daruk couldn't shake their concerns and continued to ask Mipha for more information. However, she insisted on discussing their travels first. Revali expressed his frustration at having to attend the meeting instead of preparing for the looming calamity, while Daruk shared his excitement about his recent travels. He had met up with some of his Goron friends and listened to their stories and adventures from all over Hyrule.
Mipha then moved to explain her brother's situation and told them that after two weeks missing, he was OK and not hurt. She thanked everyone for their concern and assured them her brother was safe and sound at home. Revali and Daruk were relieved to hear this and continued to discuss their day.
----
The next day, the meeting was scheduled to start at a specific time but began earlier than expected. Urbosa, one of the champions, was nowhere to be seen, which was unusual. Her absence could be attributed to the fact that whenever she arrived at Castle Town, citizens always made a big deal about her arrival, and this time, she must have wanted to avoid all the fuss.
As the meeting commenced in the late afternoon, it became apparent that something was wrong with Zelda. She seemed troubled and anxious, which was unusual, considering she was always poised and confident during meetings.
The meeting room was located under the Sanctum and was spacious, with a large table at the center. The champions were seated around the table, with Link standing behind Zelda, sitting next to her father. The king was staring at them sternly, which made everyone uneasy. The royal advisors and guards stood watch at each door and post, ready to act in any emergency.
The king addressed the room sternly, "All right, let's get this meeting started," his gaze swept over the assembled crowd. "I have been made aware that you all have made some revelations about your Divine Beast, and I am eager to hear them. However, before we proceed, I must address a pressing matter."
There was a pause as the room waited for the king to continue. "As you may be aware, we are currently dealing with an individual or group that is sabotaging our efforts to defeat Calamity Ganon. This cannot be allowed to continue. We must be vigilant and work together to identify and neutralize this threat."
The king's expression grew more serious as he continued, "This could be a sign that the followers of the calamity are becoming desperate and are trying to stop us by any means necessary. We cannot let fear drive us away from our goal of defeating their leader and saving our Kingdom."
The room fell into a contemplative silence as the gravity of the situation sank in. The king's words had revealed a new level of danger and urgency in their fight against Calamity Ganon, and everyone knew that their efforts would need to be redoubled to succeed.
Sure, here's a more detailed rewrite:
The king's advisors were gathered to discuss a pressing issue. One of the advisors sat up straighter and asked the king, "What do you recommend we do, my king?" He then pulled out reports detailing the damages caused by an individual who had become a menace to the Kingdom.
The reports showed that the individual had destroyed 76 Guardian stalkers, 28 Guardian skywatchers, and 15 Guardian Turrets. The destruction had even extended to decayed Guardians that were no longer functional after many years. The damage was catastrophic, and the Kingdom's defense had been severely compromised.
The situation was even worse than initially thought, as another advisor said, "This individual also destroyed the entirety of the royal research lab." Nobody had been inside the lab then, but all the research and equipment inside, including that in the hidden rooms, were either destroyed or taken. This was a severe blow to the Kingdom's research and development and would take a long time to recover.
The Champions listened intently to their words, analyzing the severity of the situation. Zelda and Link remained silent, having already known this information. The Kingdom's fate hung in the balance, and the advisors looked to the king for guidance on how to deal with this threat.
The king held a council with his advisors when he said, "There are only two research spots left in the Kingdom, and I want them guarded efficiently. Additionally, I have decided to allow Zelda to visit the springs of courage and power. If her power does not awaken, she will be permitted to visit the spring of wisdom to awaken it."
One of the advisors said, "Your Majesty, as per the law, the princess must be over 17 years old to enter the spring of wisdom. However, she has just turned 16 years old."
The king looked sternly at his advisor and said, "This is not up for debate. I believe that Zelda is more than ready to activate her abilities. She needs to start training and awaken her powers to defeat Calamity Ganon. If I have to push her to do so, then I will. We will leave the research to the professionals while she focuses on awakening her abilities. The five champions will accompany her on this journey."
Link, one of the champions, did not react, but the other three champions silently nodded in agreement to whatever the king said. The Champions were shocked to hear what the king had planned but decided to say nothing. The king was determined that Zelda would develop her skills and abilities, and he intended to ensure that this happened.
Mipha, one of the champions, directed her attention to King Rhoam and asked for clarification. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness, but I am curious as to why our fourth Champion is absent from this meeting. With all due respect, I believe that it is imperative for all of us to be present for this gathering. Furthermore, if I may be so bold, I suggest that we inform her of what is to come."
King Rhoam turned to Mipha and appreciated her concerns. "Urbosa was unable to attend this meeting due to the harsh weather conditions in the Gerudo Desert. However, we will make sure to inform her as soon as it is safe for her to travel," he explained.
The advisor who had previously spoken up raised another important matter for discussion. He produced a paper from his files, and the Champion, seated attentively, braced himself in case he was required to contribute. Even Zelda, who had been looking down at her lap, perked up with curiosity at the prospect of learning something that had been kept from her due to her father's strict rule. The advisor informed the king that hidden rooms with similar architecture had been found in all the Divine Beasts. Although the one they had received from Urbosa would be discussed later if the king wished to do so. The king gave a nod of approval, and the advisor continued. "Champion Revali, would you be so kind as to tell us how you discovered this hidden room and what you found inside?" The advisor gestured to the Rito champion with a side-eye, who stood up with a look of pride in his eyes and a smirk on his beak, ready to recount his discovery.
" Your Grace," Revali greeted with a short bow before standing upright and revealing the details of his recent inspection of his Divine Beast. "As the Rito champion, it is my duty to ensure that my Divine Beast is functioning smoothly and without interruption. But as you heard of the recent incident in Rito Village, I was doing an after-battle inspection on my divine beast; during my inspection, I stumbled upon a history log that records all the recent commands given to the Divine Beasts. Intrigued, I investigated further, which led me to uncover a dark hallway towards the head of my Divine Beast through a secret passage. As I approached the room, I found a control panel. I could see that it was heavily encrypted, but with my technical expertise, I could bypass the encryption and gain access to the control panel."
"Upon entering the control panel, I saw that it was divided into several sections. Along with that, I found the room had a library and an energy source in the center of the room. The library contained a wealth of information about the Divine Beasts, their history, and their functions. I spent several hours poring over the documents, learning everything I could about my Divine Beast and its capabilities."
"In the back of the room, I noticed a statue of an ancient Rito figure that immediately caught my attention. The figure was intricately carved and appeared to hold a weapon of old Rito times. I was fascinated by the statue and spent some time examining it closely, hoping to learn more about its origins through the books and control panel, but found close to nothing about it." Revali spoke with respect and professionalism compared to the usual attitude-filled tone that he always used with Hylians.
The king remained silent as the adventurer explained what he had discovered in the hidden room of the Divine Beast. "Please elaborate on what you found," the king requested, hoping the information would be relevant.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to provide a detailed account of our discoveries," Revali began. "As we were going through the room, we noticed that many books from the library had gone missing. We took the time to read most of the remaining books and uncovered a wealth of knowledge lost throughout the Ritos. We found many battle plans for our style of fighting, which is archery. These plans have proven to be useful, as we have already identified many battle strategies with the Divine Beast that were used in the past, and some that were not but efficient enough to be used in future battles. However, we need to learn how to control the Divine Beasts better to use these plans to their full potential.Moreover, we also found many locations of caves that our ancient Rito warriors used to store weapons. We found them, but unfortunately, they were all decayed and unusable. We also discovered that the power source in the center of the room that glowed white is gained from air movement that goes through the fans. We conducted thorough research and found the ancient blueprints of the Divine Beasts, which helped us come to that conclusion. Finally, there was a statue that captured our attention. We have a drawn picture of what it looks like, which I will pass on to you shortly. We believe this statue is significant and may provide valuable insight into the history of the Divine Beasts and the Rito people. In summary, Your Majesty, we have made significant progress in uncovering lost knowledge, battle strategies, and the power source of the Divine Beasts. Our discoveries will be useful in the battles to come, and we will continue our efforts to uncover more valuable information." Ravali said as he took out a drawn picture and had a guard hand it to the king
The king looked at the drawn picture and nodded at it, wondering where the Rito champion was going with this conversation.
"As I walked around the room, my eyes fell upon the statue of the ancient Rito. At first glance, it seemed like a simple decoration. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed something intriguing," he said, reaching into his files for a paper. The others in the room watched him intently, waiting for him to reveal the secret.
He cleared his throat and read from the paper in a dramatic tone. "A tear for a tear. May the Golden Dragon's sacrifice not be in vain, for our wings will continue to protect this Kingdom from the skies," he concluded, leaving everyone in awe.
Mipha interjected gracefully, "I beg your pardon for interrupting, but I remember seeing something similar inscribed in our Divine Beast."
Daruk nodded in agreement, "Yes, and I recall seeing it in mine as well."
Curious, one of the advisors asked the remaining Champions, "If it's not too much trouble, could you please tell us what was inscribed on the pedestals in your Divine Beasts?"
The Champions rummaged through their files and finally found what they were searching for, revealing the long-awaited secret to the rest of the group.
Daruk was the first to speak up, his voice echoing through the chamber. " a tear for a tear May the Golden Dragon Light our Temple of Darkness again for the good that are from down below will wait and anticipation of rebuilding up above."
All eyes were on him before Mipha stepped forward and added her own words." I found two, one on the pedestal and another saying the same thing in a book we had found... this is the first one,' A Tear for a Tear. May the Golden Dragon heal in our Waters of Youth, for we, the Zora, shall protect her as she rests for her upcoming battle," she spoke before taking out another paper. "the one in the book said this a tear for a tear. May the Golden Dragon bless our Waters of Youth and grant us the strength to protect her as she prepares for her upcoming battle.' I believe that the pedestal said the same thing once, but the words started fading over time, or someone changed it a hundred years ago."
She paused, glancing down at the paper before continuing. "eather way In my research, I have come across many accounts of battles, but none that involved any type of dragon. This makes it all the more important for us to stand together and defend our land from any possible threat."
The room fell silent as the king took his time to think before addressing the group. His piercing gaze scanned each person's face, ensuring he had their full attention.
"I see," he finally said, his voice deep and commanding. "Ever since the appearance of the white dragon, strange things have been happening. We cannot ignore this any longer. For now, I want the champions to escort my daughter, Zelda, to the Springs. Then we will deal with the information those statements hold."
The king's eyes narrowed as he spoke, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. "I will have my best researchers looking into this immediately. We must find out what's going on and put a stop to it."
He turned his attention to the champions. "Zelda will Start her training as soon as this meeting is over, and guards will make contact with Ubrosa. We need to work together to get to the bottom of this. Do I make myself clear?"
Everyone in the room nodded, their expressions grave. The champions explained what they had found in their Divine beasts, delving into details and recounting their experiences. Zelda was captivated by the conversation, hanging onto every word and asking questions whenever she could.
They talked for three to four hours, and during that time, Zelda listened intently, remembering every little detail as they went into further explanations. The king sat silently, taking everything in, his mind already working on the following steps.
Link stood in silence as he listened to his companions regale each other with stories about the hidden room and its treasures. While he didn't share his thoughts aloud, he couldn't help but wonder what was coming next. The recent events had been nothing short of extraordinary. First, the dragon appeared out of nowhere, and then, a series of unusual occurrences followed. It was impossible to ignore the mention of a golden dragon that rose from the heavens, mentioned by the hidden room inside the Divine Beast. The timing seemed more than coincidental, and Link couldn't shake the feeling that something was more going on than what met the eye. As he stood there, lost in thought, his companions remained oblivious to his unease.
