Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Fred, also oblivious of the joke… or not joke… of the murderous princess, smiles gleefully and hands over the munitions.

Revali squinted. There was nothing here to work with. The only thing keeping him going was his gale at this point, but this air was effectively dead. They just might truly be inside of a glass or something.

He thinks to himself. A storm happened and then this? What kind of storm could cause this to happen? Were the two even related? He decided to use his gale to fly higher and see what the rest of the sky offered.

As Revali soars higher, there is an eerie silence that permeates the void. The ship is but a speck below him and the sea stretches endlessly in all directions, but there are no discernible features or landmarks that stand out from the glass-like water.

As he ascends higher, he too sees a strange object just above him. It remains stationary, directly above where he is flying.

Revali spots the object and he draws closer to see what it is, gathering his bow just in case.

"Of course! If I can't explain them, I'm sure Blue would be willing to take stab at it." Red starts and then grimmaces. Well, darn. Now it's getting worse. "I'm just going to start loading up these crossbows. Once they're all set, maybe Blue and I can try to put a dent in this strange cup we're in..."

He continues to Fred. "Help." He points towards the crossbows. "I need help loading these things. Would you mind offering some assistance?" For just a few moments, that was a plea of a different kind, but he decides it best to get lost in his work before he unravels trying to unthink all of Revali's jokes that need explaining.

As Revali approaches, he sees a familiar sight- a handsome Rito floating above him. It mirrors his movements.

Fred immediately is at Redvali’s side. He begins loading the crossbows without issue, seemingly familiar with this weapon.

Revali, naturally, checks himself out. Something that can mirror him ought to look as good as him. "Aha, so that's where the glass cup idea comes from. Although, it's starting to feel more like a glass jar, at this rate..." He hums. "So, this sky isn't really a sky. That sea isn't really a sea..." He looks at his reflection again. "And so it's probably safe to say this me isn't really moi." He concludes. It might look like him, but if all else around here is a facsimile, then this must be too.

"So, what are you, really?" He starts to take a closer look, trying to see if anything is out of place.

The reflection simply looks back at Revali, flapping its wings and mirroring his actions.

While Fred and Red are getting ready for whatever may be coming, Irina looks up, wondering if Revali is okay… completely unaware that he spent half of the reconnaissance mission checking himself out in the apocalypse mirror.

Revali holds out his bow and taps one of its ends against his reflective surface, just to see how the surface itself responds. "Not a bad reflection at all..." He admires quietly, but cautiously.

_Gatu paces back and forth, running things by him his head, and going back on all the magic spells he has learned over his course of traveling Hyrule, or in old books or magic items. His plan should work, since the Master Sword is the conduit of a greater power, and by then then amplified by any of the magics he knows would surely be enough to break whatever is trying to suppress its innate magic just enough for a few moments for Link to be able to break the illusion..._

_Gatu tests something, drawing his Bone Sword, as he tries a few basic spells out, pointed out over the railing of the main deck and casting *Fire*._

Meanwhile, the reflection taps its bow back at Revali, again mirroring his reflection.

After a moment, however, the eyes of the reflection change. They become glassy and then red, and all of the color fades from the figure in the mirror until it is as dark as a shadow. The figure’s bow suddenly rises on its own and an arrow materializes and is pointed at Revali with a tip that appears to be covered by a violet smoke.

Revali is on full alert now that his image has hanged. So it wasn't him, after all! He knew it! Still, that leaves the matter of him being attacked and he's woefully underequipped for that. No sooner than he registers that an arrow was aimed his way, he tried to put distance between himself and the reflection, pushing off the surface to give himself a jumpstart.

The dark figure loosens its arrow. It hits Revali and sends him free falling towards the ship. If he looks back, the figure is gone and he quickly returns to his senses before he returns to the surface. His own gale sends him upwards and keeps him afloat with his updraft.
