Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Fi replies in her soft robotic voice, “You are correct. I came into contact with an unknown creature compromised by dark magic. The creature was neutralized upon contact due to a metaphysical incompatibility with my specific physiological frequencies.”

She pauses after saying, “Analyzing your inquiry…”

She finally responds, “Physical contact of a vessel imbued with light magic against a vessel made of the opposing composition will result in a high probability of success. Light contradicts darkness, naturally speaking.”

Irina looks at the rest of the group, particularly Blue and Mipha, to see what they think, or if they want to ask something else.

Revali grins. "Great! So, I'll take you up there and go and stab this thing and pop the bubble. Sounds easy." He gives the Master Sword a couple of triumphant swings. "I'm assuming no one will disagree."

Red interjects, "The last time you went out there alone, you were attacked by a shadow and then came back to blow up the ship. Under it's influence, of course, but you going alone anywhere in this place is concerning. So, I should go with you and then at least I'll be able to confirm you popped the bubble and, hopefully, won't get attacked again while you're at it."

Revali's brow twitched, "Now is not the time to bring up the past. I look only to the future." He hoists the blade upwards. "But I'm not opposed to you coming with me. So, Fi, unless there's any _*other*_ objections, we're going to go up there and take this bubble down. It'll be my way. How do you feel about being fired from a bow?"

Irina raises her eyebrows at the suggestion.

Fi pauses… but this time she doesn't seem to know how to react to the question.

After a moment she states, “It is not advisable to lose control of a sword. Such a weapon is only a guaranteed asset when it remains under the control of the wielder.”

Mipha didn't really have any objections to speak of. The plan of striking the enclosure was sound enough and Fi had already made the assessments. "I see nothing wrong with this. I can stay here and help with repairs to the ship and you two can go and 'pop the bubble' as you've called it." She nods, seemingly all business with her responses.

She enojyed the banter, but was still finding a tough time adjusting to things at the moment. "And I would advise holding onto the sword, as she has suggested."

“In… any case,” Irina adds, “Miss Fi mentioned the sword needs to be imbued with light for it to work. Blue, is that something you can do, or do we need to wait for our wolf to wake up? Or Is It already imbued?”

Fi responds to Irina’s inquiry, “My vessel is imbued with a high degree of light magic. My master's alignment with the elemental triforce amplifies my purpose; however, as per my previous application by your companion, my existing reserves of light enchantment can be leveraged independently.”

Irina nods to Fi with a smile. “Understood. Thank you, Miss Fi.”

Then she turns to Revali, “I guess that is our confirmation.”

Revali's shoulders dropped and he grumbled. "I don't like you," he pointed at Fi in paticular. "But, fine, I'll just hold onto you and just stab the bubble that way. Nevermind my skiill and prowess with bows as a master of archery," he rolled his eyes.

"There's a reason I call you boggart. Anyway, imbuing this blade with light should also be easy. We've got the source right here." He motions to Wolf Link.

He was about to gently thunk the blade atop the wolf's head and recite non-existent light summoning rites before Fi once again ruined his well crafted plans. "See? Just as I was about to imbue this thing, she comes in and says it's already in here." He folds his wings. "So, it's back to the original plan, I see. Guess me and Red will be flying up there, after all."

Red just raises a wing to cover his face, sighing. "Let's go ahead and get this over with. We pop the bubble and resume our journey. Also, I think this will make Roxanne very happy. So, if for nothing else, do this for her," he remarked hoping it'd encourage Revali to get going.

Roxanne doesn't understand but she eyes Redvali suspiciously.

"You're right! She and I braved the darkness and now I must face it for her. Red, let's go!" Revali takes off with his gale to ascend with the blade to pierce the heavens.

Kanali looks back momentarily and grins to Salvatore, then turns and guides him out of the town. He flies though the alleyways and narrow streets to the place he came from. Before long, they are alone in the field outside of the town.

Kanali lands and stands, holding his knees and panting as he catches his breath. He looks up and Salvatore with a fatigued smile. “Are you 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."

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?"
