Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Fred sets Roxanne down as he watches the two Rito fly up into the heavens. When he hears Irina he hands her a rope, “Please hold this while I hoist up a new sail.”

He then starts to climb up a mast and goes to work fastening the rope.

"I will help with the deck repairs. If an additional hand is needed to help, please let me know." Mipha sets off across the deck, working on clearing up any debris and materials that would get in the way of deck repair and works them into a pile.

Irina holds the rope, looking up at Fred when he climbs the mast. She switches her gaze slightly, though, to see the Ritos rise with Fi and watches them with a hopeful expression.

Revali continued his ascent into the sky with the Master Sword held in hand. He remembers what happened the last time he was up here, but this time, he intended to put up a better fight should anything happen.

His plan was simple: pierce right through the bubble and as he drew closer to the barrier, he extended the blade out before him. At closest approach, he held onto the sword with both wings to ensure it had enough support to drive it through.

As the Rito ascend they can see two figures reflecting above in the distance.

"I hope you're seeing what I'm seeing!" Red states, knowing full well they can both see the figures, but he at least wanted it known that he had his back up here. "But this time, we ought to be ready for 'em!"

Revali was more than ready to drive this sword into those reflections. If they were going to stand in the way, he was going to go right through them. They might have had the upperhand the first time, but this time, he wanted them to be the ones running scared.

"I can see them and if they know what's good for them, they'll get out of my way!" He launched into an assault, twirling around to slice at the barrier where the reflections were present.

As they approach, they can see that they are not actually looking at their reflections as before. Two young and beautiful female Rito fly down to meet them with a look of distress, “Help us!!” they shout.

Redvali was taken by the appearance of the female Rito and saw Blue was heading directly towards them. He called out, "Change course!" If he didn't, all he could think of was the ship all over again.

Revali had far too much momentum to try and stop dead still, but he was going to try. He tossed himself into a spin to direct himself off course, but now he was losing to the weak air up here. There wasn't enough to cushion him to stop a tailspin from taking place. The stress from the sudden change in direction had caused him to blank out for a spell.

The Rito closest to Revali grabs on to him as he swirls by. She has bright white feathers and pink cheeks that all perk up as they collide. When she sees him blanking out she calls to him, “Oh sir! Are you okay?!” She looks around with a paranoid expression, “Quick! We are in danger and must escape!”

The other Rito descends down to Red. She is a light green girl with a bright yellow beak.

Revali comes out of his tailspin with some assistance, only barely registering he was helped in the first place. "Guess I should be thankful..." He remarks to the Rito lady. Once he stabilizes, he tries to get a better look at who it was that grabbed him. He smirks, "One of the better endings to spinouts I've had." He did have to admit, he liked what he was seeing.

"But, there's a problem here. We're going away from where I need to be. You feel free to get to safety, but I'm not running away from any danger."

Redvali stared at the Rito lady before him, a bit smitten and surprised to see her. He only briefly looked past her to see how Blue was doing before refocusing on her. "I heard danger. What danger is up here this time?! And while I'd like to escape, I don't think I can on account of my friend here deciding for the both of us. But, maybe after all this is done, we can meet back up? I know a place." He offers to the green lady.

The only place he knew was the ship, but far as he was concerned, it still counted.

Irina is still holding the rope and looking up. The two Rito disappeared in the distance. "I wonder what is going on up there? They have been gone for a while. I hope they are okay..."

Salvatore collapses to the ground, exhausted. He is too out of breath to speak, his heart still pounding from the rush of emotion.
"Yeah... yeah... I'm okay... and you...?"
Then, he raises a trembling fist to the sky in triumph.

After catching his breath, Salvatore opens his bag to check the contents, pulling out a tapestry and a blue stuffed hippopotamus. He looks at Kanali with a weary smile. "These... these things are very important to me; I know it might seem trivial, but they make me feel close to my family. I always carry them with me. I hope you aren't angry that I risked my neck for such trivial items, but I really thank you."

Kanali kneels down next to Salvatore to see if he is okay and smiles warmly, looking especially at the hippopotamus. “Does he have a name?”

Salvatore smiles, looking a bit embarrassed. "Haha, yeah. Her name is Oppi; I went on thousands of adventures with her when I was little. She was a gift from a distant aunt in Hytopia. I was a bit of a klutz and didn't have any friends, except for her."

"She got worn out over the years, but my mother always had the patience to mend it. Haha, you can still hear the rattle inside." Salvatore holds the toy close to Kanali’s ear so he can hear the faint tinkling sound, muffled by layer upon layer of fabric.

Kanali's beak smiles broadly when he hears the rattle. “It is an honor to meet you, Oppi. You must be very brave to have been on so many adventures. I am glad we were able to share this one.”

"And what a great adventure!"
Salvatore smiles as he packs everything into his bag. "And do you have a story to tell?"

Kanali scratches the back of his neck with his wing. He sits down next to Salvatore and shows his messenger bag. “To be honest, until recently, I hadn't ventured far from the Hebra valley in Hyrule. My uncle got me a job as a mail carrier and now I feel like I am exploring everywhere, including this fascinating place.” He looks around and up at the tree tops. “I never knew I would be a traveler but I quite enjoy seeing mew places and meeting interesting people.”

Salvatore smiles at Kanali. "Wow, you must have traveled a lot and seen wonderful places. I've never been to the Hebra Valley. What's it like?"

Kanali pulls out a map from his bag and opens it. He shows it to Salvatore and points to mountains. “It's very beautiful, but it can be difficult to get around. There are many hidden secrets all around.”

Salvatore looks at the map with interest and fascination, observing the places Kanali is pointing out. "Wow, I've never been this far from Hateno Village."

Then Salvatore looks around. "Before today ha ha" he laughs, resting a hand behind his neck.

Kanali chuckles at the last comment. “This is definitely not a part that is on my map. I have no clue where I am… but speaking of which, shouldn't we be getting back now? I think I can remember more or less how I got here.”

I arrive in the castle town square with no idea where I am.

Kanali is sitting with Salvatore and they are discussing their return to Hyrule. He looks up at the stranger, nervous at first, but then calm when he realizes he isn't one of the Gorman brothers that they had run into earlier. He waves with his wing to the stranger, "Hello there."

Exhausted, Salvatore was dozing off when he snapped back to alertness upon hearing Kanali’s ringing voice: "Huh? Eh?" He turned toward Eugene, fearing it might be one of the Gorman brothers and jumping to his feet, but he quickly calmed down and sat back down.

I slowly wander the desert and I See a Male Gerudo standing next to a Mighty black stallion before I pass out.

*The King of Evil watches a feeble and foolish man collapse in the desert heat. He snorts in amusement and looks away.*

"It's not even that hot. Pathetic."

*Ganondorf's stallion chuffs and meanders over to the downed man and snuffles around his clothes. Seems the smell of treats is lingering. The Gerudo approves of his horse robbing a man.*

I slowly regain consciousness and wake up.

"What happened to me"? I say in a groggy tone.

The Gerudo King gives the poor unfortunate soul a once over.*

"Looks like you wandered where you don't belong, _fool_. Paid the price all must pay when they do not respect the sands,"

*A ball of energy forms over the hand Ganondorf raised while talking, pulsing orange.*

"And now, you're about to pay the price for not respecting her King," *Ganondorf cackles.*

"Sir please don't" I begin begging for my life.

"You rule these lands sir?"
