Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

"I can only imagine how distant it must feel. This has not been the case for me, truthfully speaking, so I am unable to know the full extent of what you have experienced. But what I can say with certainty is that we can bring it out." Mipha smiled, watching the glow return to Kala. "That deeper innate level, you've mentioned, that will only grow stronger as you continue working on this."

She retracts her hands once she's completed her healing and continues, "And do let me know if you believe I am moving too quickly. I am excited to guide you through this process, but my desire should not exceed your learning."

Kala shakes her head to Mipha's last comment as she looks at her hand. Her skin is still glowing, although it fades slowly. She closes her eyes momentarily, then opens them and sends a small surge of energy through her hands. It causes a faint glow, but she seems to be controlling it somewhat.

Irina smiles brightly at Kayo’s words. “You are so kind, Your Highness. We couldn't have retrieved the sword without your help, and without your ship.”

She hmms, looking at her glass while she holds it with both hands. “You should come visit sometime. Hyrule doesn't have an ocean, but we know of another place that does. And they have pirates there! You may find it interesting.”

Kayo seems intrigued by Irina’s offer. “Pirates, you say? Well now I am intrigued.” He grins, and then looks in Mipha’s direction, who is still down the hall with Kala.

“To be honest, I am most intrigued by our Zora cousins. I am sure we could learn many things from each other.”

“They have this beautiful blue ocean. And yes, they have pirates… All of them tall, strong, beautiful women,” Irina explains.

“I can imagine you are curious about the Zora in Hyrule. Such kind people. And the royal family is the kindest. Although you can probably tell from Princess Mipha.”

Kayo listens intently to Irina. “A blue ocean? Beautiful women?” He raises an eyebrow at the peculiar description, but then asks about the Zora royals, “So they are all as beautiful… er, I mean as kind as Mipha? Do you know the family well?”

Irina raises her eyebrows.

Link grins and says, “Yes, very kind. Their family has selflessly dedicated themselves to Hyrule.”

"That is a unique display of your talents. I may have misjudged what it was or if not, then it may be a different kind of healing. One I'm unfamiliar with, but regardless, the power you have feels similar enough. Whatever it may be, it is something you have." Mipha reiterates. "And you're doing well with your control. Before it leapt to me, but now, it did nothing of the sort."

She considers to herself momentarily. Was this something electric? And if it was, that was exceptionally rare to see among Zora. It felt like it when it happened earlier. "Do you still have your spear?" She questioned distractedly. Breaking her concentration, she then looked to Kala.

"That didn't come out the way I intended. What I mean is that this energy that leaves your hands might be able to be channeled through something."

Irina ums… and nods to Link, then grins to Kayo. “We know them well, yes. There is Princess Mipha and her two siblings. All of them kind and beautiful inside and out.”

Kala listens to Mipha as she looks to her skin. It glows again momentarily then fades as her attention shifts to Mipha.

“My spear? Oh yes, one moment.” She stands and steps into the hallway, then returns holding her spear with both hands.

“Do you suppose I should try channeling the energy into this object?” She stares at her weapon confused.

Kayo has a far away look thinking about what Link and Irina are telling him, “Three beautiful… kind… princesses. You are truly blessed by the goddesses.”

Irina hmms, “Well, there is Princess Mipha, her older sister, Princess Ruto… who is also beautiful and kind, and their younger brother Sidon. I think you would love to meet all three. And their people, of course.” She looks at Link.

Mipha nods. "Yes, try channeling it into the spear. Some objects have the ability to work with or amplify your abilities. I am wondering if this is the case with your weapon."

Link still has a bit of a mischievous grin on his face but he tries to hide it when he is called, “Yes, you should definitely meet them all sometime. The domain that they inhabit is arguably the most beautiful part of Hyrule.”

"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.

Kanali eyes the stranger uneasily. He stands up and says to Salvatore, “Perhaps we should go now before we get into further trouble.” He offers his wing to his companion. “To Hyrule?”

"You're absolutely right,"
Says Salvatore, getting back up.
"We've rested enough, and the Gorman Brothers might still be looking for us."
Before setting off, he looks at Clock Town and adjusts the bag on his back.

Kanali leads Salvatore down a path into the forest. It's dark now but he seems to know where he is going. After a while he points to some thick shrubs that grow on the side of the road.

“It's through here. Stay close.” He steps inside some prickly branches and then finds a stone wall. He feels around and finds a small crack. “Just squeeze through here and you will see. It's the strangest thing.”

He disappears into the crack into a dark cave.

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?"
