Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

_Gatu does what Mipha asks, trying to conserve energy and not move a whole lot to spark pain. When she asks him to lay down, he does so, albeit with some hisses of pain here and there. The burns up his left arm that go up to the left side of his face partially varied from first to third degree due to how close he was to the explosion when it happened._

"How bad is it? I've avoided looking down, or at my reflection in anything, but I guess I got banged up a good bit like the rest of you in one way or another." _Gatu says to Mipha in a somewhat-joking tone to lighten the mood despite how bad things are right now..._

_It wasn't very effective..._

Mipha gave a small smile to Gatu, she could see the effort, however strained it was. "It's bad," she remarked simply enough. "But it's not beyond healing. It will just take time. I think your process of avoiding reflections is a keen one." Her smile spread more as she looked upon him warmly. "But I think we should be alright. If you recall, you were in the water and your reflection was present there. To that effect, if the water was an issue, I suspect our mirrors might have accosted us by now."

She looks over Gatu's body, briefly hovering over him to see his conditon before returning to her kneel. "The water should be fine, but your thoughts are on a good track. Maintain that level of suspicion. We are not out of this, yet."

Redvali was internally relieved, but he had to play it off cool in front of Kala, so he offered her a thumbs up. "Good, glad you accepted. Let's head to the lower decks and see what we might find down there." He briefly looked back towards his other half then to Kala with a slightly pained expression. He was apologetic and understood what it meant to partner with him, but he didn't intend to betray that.

Irina thanks Link for the water with a nod and takes a sip before chuckling at Revali, “It was funny, and it was exactly what I needed.”

When he offers -or decides- that they pair up and search the lower decks, she nods. “Sure. Let's do that.” Then she gets up and carefully tries to go down the ladder, although a good part of the ship is not even there.

Link gives Irina a concerned look, as if telling her to stay on guard. He looks to Revali as well and says, “Everything is a mess down there so be careful.”

He turns to Mipha and says, “I can stay by your side, however, someone should stay with Fred. Gatu, you also seem rather burned. Are you able to move easily?”

"To an extent, though with some difficulty..." _Gatu replies to the Hero of Time when he comes over and asked how he's doing while Mipha starts to heal him._

"My left arm tingles and gives me shots of pain up and down it when I try to move it due to the severity the burns must be. I'm trying not to look so I don't freak out or something, since the last time it ever got this bad was when this bully I knew at school thought it'd be funny to sneak in hair spray and a lighter, threatening a kid about five years younger than me that it was either to get torched, or hand over all their rupees their folks gave them for lunch money..." _Gatu brings up his past a bit, making a bit of small talk with Link._ "...I'm sure you can imagine what happened next when I was passing by and saw what they were doing."

"Once I've recovered, are you and Fi up to trying my idea out? I'm fairly confident that it'll work and get us all free from the living shadow trapping us in this barrier..."

Link looks a little perplexed at Gatu’s story. He doesn't seem well informed on topics of hair spray, school, or bullies. He offers, “I understand. The last time a bull sprayed me, I spent an hour in Lake Hylia washing it out.”

He examines Gatu and says, “The fact that you can move is good. Also, if you can feel the burns then that is also good. It's the ones that you can't feel that are concerning.” He stands up and adds, “You look fine, too. Nothing a little time won't heal.”

Irina continues climbing down the ladder, very focused on what she is doing, and nods to Link. She understood. However, she has to keep herself from laughing when the last thing she hears before she leaves the room is Link’s story about the bull and Lake Hylia. And they can tell by her face, if somebody is looking.

The downstairs is in shambles. Light from above pours in, creating a sharp contrast over the piles of random items strewn about. A random cucco passes Irina’s path—it must have escaped from wherever Fred was keeping it.

Irina sighs to herself at the current state of the downstairs—compared to how it was just earlier that day… or night. She tilts her head at the sound of the cucco and chuckles when it passes. “Hey, I am glad you made it! Do you want to come upstairs?” She chases the cucco.

The cucco nervously clucks as Irina gives chase and picks it up, but doesn't protest. It stares blankly into space. It gives the impression that it is in shock.

Irina picks up the cucco and looks at it with a lost stare for a while, as if she isn't really looking at it.

After some time, she turns and hands the chicken to Revali. “Here. Your new partner.” She climbs back the ladder.

The cucco stares blankly, then flies off into the darkness of the lower deck.

Irina climbs back onto the main deck without saying anything. For a few moments, she simply stands there, looking over the group with a serious, distant expression. Then she slowly raises her arms, as if inviting somebody from each side. Water from the ocean begins to rise over both sides of the damaged ship, spilling across the deck and spreading around the feet of everyone gathered there.

Without hesitation, Irina draws her electric wand. She looks down at the water surrounding them and activates the wand against the flooded deck, sending the current through the water and everyone standing in it. She makes no effort to protect herself, remaining in the water with them despite being the one closest to the current.
