Shadows of Hyrule | Chapter 63

To Link's relief, the rest of finals week went off without further incident, and by the end of the week, Mipha's parents had made it back to Hyrule safe and sound. Summer vacation was officially in full swing, but Hyrule's Champions could not enjoy in their new found freedom, for they still had another portal to find. And with school no longer in the way, they had to dedicate themselves fully to the fast approaching war, and take every moment they had to prepare for Ganondorf's return.

When Saturday morning rolled around, the six Champions met at the edge of Lake Hylia in preparation for their trip to the Forgotten Temple. The largest lake in Hyrule and with forests that bordered one side, it offered them plenty of protection from prying eyes - Impa and Mipha’s parents, specifically - however, to their dismay, they would so learn that getting into the Forgotten Temple would be very difficult, and next to impossible to even get out.

“The entire temple is under water,” Paya informed them regretfully. “It sits in the Tanagar Canyon, just at the end to the north.”

“So,” Revali started. “Can’t you just bippity-boppity-boop us in there?”

Urbosa rolled her eyes, already exhausted with him.

Paya pursed her lips with a slight frown. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “I don’t have the same strength my grandmother has,” she reminded them.

“What’s the worst that could happen?” Daruk asked.

“Well,” Paya said softly. “I mean. It could kill me. It could kill you.”

Daruk sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Right. Of course.”

“Sheikah power is not something to be messed with,” Urbosa said. “Paya has only just begun her own training. We can’t expect her to be able to do everything for us.”

“Then what’s the plan?” Revali snarled. “Borrow a sub? Rent some scuba suits? I mean, come on.” He threw his arms in the air.

“I scouted out as much of the area as I could,” Paya said. “If we need to get inside, I think ,” - she emphasized this heavily as she spoke - “there may be a way to get in from the top of the temple.”

“But?” Zelda asked.

Paya shrugged. “But, any number of things could go wrong. For starters, the temple is thousands of years old. It could be completely demolished on the inside, getting us nowhere. Or, it could very well collapse on top of us. The temple is very large, and we could be so high up that we simply fall to our deaths.”

“You mean they didn’t have elevators?” Revali muttered under his breath.

“We don’t know where the portal is,” Urbosa said. “It might not be in the temple at all.”

“I didn’t see anything around, though,” Paya said. “But, I didn’t have a lot of time to go hunting around, either.”

“Fine,” Zelda said, growing anxious. “Let’s just get there and see where the day takes us.”

Paya nodded. “It would be best if we don’t take every car, though,” she said, looking at everyone’s cars around her.

“We’re driving,” Urbosa said, indicating to Daruk. “Our cars will handle the terrain best.”

Revali whined for a moment, then hurried to Daruk’s SUV. “Shotgun!” Once he was seated inside, he waved a hand at Paya. “Sheikah’s with us.”

Urbosa frowned. “I don’t want the two of them with me,” she said, thrusting a thumb at Link and Zelda. “What if we crash and die? Then it’s my fault that the Hyrule’s only heroes are dead.” Her tone suggested this was more of an inconvenience than a genuine concern.”

“Fine,” Revali said. “Let’s go, Zelds.”

Zelda’s brows furrowed. “Zelds?” She trudged toward the car as Daruk got in behind the wheel. “I don’t like that. Don’t call me that.”

Urbosa frowned. “Please take care of her,” she shouted to Daruk. “Don’t let anyone hurt my little bird.”

Zelda turned a desperate gaze in their direction. She mouthed the words ‘help me’ before climbing into the car.

“Aw, come on, Zelds,” Revali teased. “This is the fun car. This is the car without Link.”

Link rolled his eyes. He, Mipha, and Paya followed Urbosa to her Jeep.

“And we’re the car without Revali,” Urbosa said with a playful wink.

Though the drive to the Forgotten Temple was uneventful, it was also long, and it was well after noon when they finally arrived at the canyon, crossing the bridge as the rapids raged below. Over the years, the area had turned into a bit of a tourist attraction, and there were various cars parked along the edge in dedicated lots. It wasn’t particularly busy with tourists, but there were plenty of teens and young adults enjoying their summer, challenging each other as they dove into the calmer areas, despite the clearly marked signs that warned them of such dangers. The area was meant simply as a place to sightsee. From the dedicated lots, one had a great view over Hyrule, but otherwise, that was all that seemed impressive about the canyon. None knew of the temple that seemed to sleep beneath the surface and all the history it held.

The Champions navigated away from these lots, their eyes open for anything out of the ordinary, but they found no signs of a portal. They continued their drive north, away from the more active tourists spots, and soon away from the concrete, following the makeshift dirt road that continued to follow the canyon, even up through the woods. It was likely the path was carved by other rebellious teens over the years, looking for a place to escape reality. They drove as far as they could until the brush became to dense. They stopped and stepped out, looking around them for a moment before moving deeper still into the forest.

They were about to give up their search in the woods, none eager to get lost, when they heard the screams from somewhere close by. They hurried towards the screams until they came upon four teens, just around their age. The Champions did not recognize them, likely being from another school around Hyrule, but the teens definitely recognized them as they came to their rescue.

There was no direct sign of the portal, but the Champions were not surprised to see the Bokoblins that swarmed the teens as they cowered. The creatures were quickly dispelled by the Champions, and the moment the Bokoblin broke ranks, the four teens made their desperate escape, dashing through the woods without looking back at the short battle.

When the Bokoblins were defeated, the Champions decided to press on, for surely the portal would be close. And close, it was. It came upon them quite suddenly, in fact, as they plunged seemingly through the forest floor until they landed with a thud on the hard ground. The ground, however, was sloped downward, and they continued to tumble through until they dropped once more, landing in what had to have been a small, underground room where more Bokoblins waited.

The Champions sprang into action, quickly taking out the second small troop of creatures, but their presence had not gone unnoticed. From somewhere deeper underground, more Bokoblins waited, and upon hearing the battle, they quickly came to aid their fellow soldiers.

However, the force of their attacks quickly threatened the integrity of the room they were in, and the floor began to tremble. Cracks shot up the walls and the ceiling began to crumble. Zelda shouted to her friends, urging them to cease their attacks and simply escape while they still could. It didn’t seem likely that they would be able to return to the surface from where they came, the climb much to steep, but it didn’t matter as the opening began to cave in around them. Instead, they ran further, deeper through the tunnel as it continued to move deeper underground.

They quickly outran the rest of the Bokoblins, who’s battle cries quickly turned to panic screams, which were then promptly silenced as the cave in crumbled on top of them. The Champions didn’t stop running until they reached the end of the tunnel, which promptly opened up to the wide open insides of the Forgotten Temple.

They jumped out of the tunnel as it closed up behind them from the cave in. Bits of rock and dirt followed them into the temple before the cave in ceased completely, sealing their only way out of the temple. They took a moment to catch their breaths and look around them.

In the center of the temple, they could clearly see what they had come for. The open portal pulsed threateningly, as if feeding off of the energy of the temple. Though there were no other Bokoblins in the area, it seemed entirely plausible that this was where they had come from, and were making their way to the surface to launch their attack on the nearby cities and towns. But that wasn’t all that caught their attention.

Dark purple goo seemed to cover most of the inside of the temple, coating the walls, ceiling, and various areas on the floor around them. There were puddles of water around the edges of the walls where water had seeped in over the years in various cracks in the structure. It seemed a miracle that it didn’t crumble under the pressure of the water, or that it wasn’t completely submerged in the first place, but it seemed the goo played some sort of role in preserving the temple.

Or so they first thought.

“Malice,” Zelda said. “I read about it in one of Impa's old books.”

“I'm assuming it's not good news,” Revali muttered.

“Not at all,” she said. “We can't let it touch us.”

The malice dripped down the walls, the stone hissing as it burned and crumbled away beneath it. Water began to spurt through the weakened points of the temple in the wake of the malice as it continued to drip, moving slowly down the walls and across the floor, as if determined to trap Hyrule’s Champions.

One thing was clear to them: if the malice didn’t get to them first, they would surely be killed by the collapsing temple.

Day 9 - Voe/Vai

Game: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Summary: Riju and Link share their insecurities

Riju was good company when she wasn’t sat in her throne, not that she wasn’t impressive when she was, but Link much preferred the mischievous grin on her face over the haughty gaze of a leader.

They had chosen to eat supper on the roof of her bedroom, it wasn't the easiest place to reach, (especially under the watchful eye of Bularia) but Riju was quite competitive and insisted she could climb quicker.

...She was wrong but it had been a close match.

It was nice to be able to spend a moment without worryìng about a veil or appearances, not to mention that eating food and making puns were probably two of Link’s favourite pastimes.

“Not bad for a voe…” Riju teased - she was trying to get a rise out of him and he could see her glancing at his way, cheeky grin and all, out of the corner of his eye. “Give me a few years and I'll squash you flat!”

Link rolled his eyes and chose to demolish the rest of his roasted birds leg rather than rise to the challenge.

He liked the warm evening sun and the rush fresh of desert air from the spring - he liked all of Gerudo town, actually. Well, maybe not the part that barred him from entering. Their culture was so vastly different from what he was used to, and such a bustling town? Few and far between in Hyrule.

It was a refreshing sight for sore eyes (when he wasn’t baking heat).

“How tall would you say Urbosa was?” Riju asked, suddenly.

Link blinked in surprise, he’d been distracted enjoying the atmosphere.

“It’s just that everyone I’ve ever known has told me she was an imposing figure and I... I’m… Vertically I’m not very…” she elaborated, quickly. For the first time since he’d met her Link thought that maybe Riju was a little embarrassed. He felt the beginnings of a smile turn up the corners of mouth, but it was wiped away immediately by the glare she shot him. For someone so young the Gerudo chief was very intimidating.

“Um…” he began and then instantly forgot every word he’d ever learned.

“Nevermind. Forget it,” Riju changed the subject, curtly. Link gulped, entirely convinced she would cut his ears off if he didn’t ‘forget it’ as commended. “It doesn’t matter.”

It was silent for a good minute, broken only by the loud crack as Link snapped his bird bone in two, uncomfortable with the tension.

“She was the tallest of the Champions…” He began, scratching the back of his head, awkwardly. “Er- except for Daruk! But she was very strong, really fearsome and kinda terrifying.”

Riju seemed a little deflated by the description, tight lipped she toyed with her fingers. But she didn’t complain as he’d expected.

“But I’m not… The best judge…” Link continued, trailing off once he realised Riju was looking at him, curiously.

Dammit, he was going to have to say it. Wasn’t he?

“I used to be called “Little guy” because I’m not…”

This whole quest was a terrible idea.

“I’m not very tall.” He admitted.

For what felt like century Riju stared at him, wide eyed and mouth agape, before she broke down into uncontrollable laughter. The hearty sort of belly-laugh that would have made Urbosa proud. He should have stayed quiet.

“I bet they did!” she cackled, pausing only to give him a merciless smack on the back. “You’re the tiniest Voe I’ve ever seen!”

Thanks for nothing, Riju.

“But…” she paused to wipe the tears of laughter from her eyes, trying her best to hold back the chuckle. “You’ve more than proven you have fight in you. Vanquishing Vah Naboris was proof enough of that.”

She rose to her feet, confidence regained.

“After my mother passed away I didn’t have many role models to guide me. My position as chief is challenging but rewarding and I will shoulder it gladly,” The setting sun framed her silhouette and, Link had to admit, leadership suited her - Even if she was barely more than a child. “I want to be the strongest, most powerful ruler the Gerudo have ever seen. I want this to be an age we can be proud of!”

Yes, Urbosa would be proud.

“Link, once you’ve vanquished that pig-headed demon and saved Princess Zelda… Do you think you could introduce me to her? I think that she and I could learn a lot from eachother.”
