So I Don’t Forget Again: A Breath of The Wild fanfiction

Entry 209: Zora’s Domain

Sidon got his sleep thankfully. He was rather surprised but happy to see he awoke beside me. He was rather reluctant to leave asking we stay in bed just a little longer. He did leave soon after though, promising he’d see me later.

I didn’t learn any zora techniques from the soldiers training today, I ended up teaching them more. It’s good though, I still have plenty I need to document for Riju and I want to be an even better teacher for her. I know she has her people to protect her, but I know she wants to be able to stand for herself and them.

I’m also scared. I want to know that even if I’m not around, she can fend for herself. The Calamity was able to take control of all the guardians and even the Divine Beasts. What if when I face it, it attacks everyone like before, send everything into ruin. I know Teba and Kass can protect their families, Yunobo has his shield and other warriors, Sidon and his army can protect their home even go into hiding if needed but Riju can’t yet. Even if she doesn’t master my techniques, I want to at least know she knows them and can at least put them to use.

Though Sidon understands my point of view he says I need to stand up for myself more, at the very least make it so that I taught them part of the day and the other part they taught me. He says he’s worried about someone taking advantage of me one of these days. I think I can say ‘no’ if I really need too, but these things are not them. It just means I can stay longer, even with as guilty as I feel about it…

We had a bath after dinner. I always love how fresh I feel after, especially when I get that good smelling plants! Sidon says the soaps they make should help clean my skin and keep me healthy. He even brought these rough bar things, they had like nut shells and things, make getting dirt and grime off and out of me easier.

Sidon really likes my hair, it’s so soft when cleaned and there’s not much like it around the domain. He also thinks it’s really pretty, like the first rays for morning sunlight. He also likes how I hum when he runs his fingers through it and how I always lean into those touches. I never noticed any of that, he seems rather happy by it. Whenever my hair gets too long I keep it tied back for a while till I feel like cutting it. If it doesn’t get in the way of battle maybe I’ll let it grow out. Or maybe I could start that after beating the Calamity. I shouldn’t have any more fighting to do after that so I don’t think it would get in the way of much.

Bossa Nova came back to my room later than he had been lately. He just hopped onto the end of the bed before falling asleep. There was a folded piece of paper under his collar, that was how I got the note.

Once there Sidon led me to a Lizalfos camp. We fought monsters for most of the night, even tracking them, following their footprints, weapon marks left in trees and other such things to find them. I don’t track monsters often so I was able to pick up a few things and teach Sidon some stuff I learned from Calisa about this. We didn’t talk much, not wanting the monsters to spot us first and attack us from behind.

This was a very different night, felt mysterious in a way. He was serious and fierce in a way I haven’t seen before. His features seemed sharp in a way. His focus was on the hunt, on protecting what he loves. He watched me a lot, kind of similar to the look he had when tracking but with me, he was more so studying. Trying to memorize me. How I fight. He usually isn’t around when I’m teaching so I guess he could be trying to learn. Sidon mostly uses spears and tridents and the sword that’s always on his hip, but he also had a long sword and bow. He always uses two weapons, it’s different from anything I’ve seen before. How he fights reminds me of a dance. It’s not as spinny or as fast paced as the Gerudo but he never stops, and every action just flows so naturally into the other. It started rained during our hunt and I swear he was manipulating the water somehow it seemed to move with and around him, it was breath taking. He doesn’t use a shield and I can see why, I think it would simply get in the way of how he fights. It’s unlike anything, not even how other zoras fight, it’s just completely his own. It

He’s beautiful.

Maybe this is another reason he likes my makings a new fighting style. He made one that caters to his strengths, and I guess I’m doing the same though I’m kind of borrowing from everyone, though I will be switching weapons a lot very quickly, focusing more on speed than him, Teba did say I’m incredibly quick in training, it just comes naturally so I SHOULD use that to my advantage. I’m going to need all the advantages I can get when facing the thing.

He did fight with the zora style most of the time which was a little disappointing. There’s nothing like his form, but by watching him I was able to learn a little of the zora way. Their spear work is similar to fishing, throwing it, then quickly reeling it back in to finish it off. He didn’t directly teach me, more so leading by example. I guess he couldn’t stand my not learning the zora way when I wanted too today.

When there was about a quarter of the night left, we headed back. Sidon’s already gotten stronger than before, we were able to fend off a Hinox and Lynel together. He works so hard to be better, I want to do that too. He thanked me for joining him. I thanked him for teaching me. He asked me if it was that obvious. I know enough of the zora style to tell that at least how I’ve seen Sidon fight at almost any other time is extremely different, it was not his style and I can see no other reason as to why he would use it.

We had to sneak back into town. We were going to split up so we could get back to our separate rooms, unlike he I could be spotted without trouble and just stroll back in so I was going to do that but… the clouds were starting to clear so I got Sidon to come to shatter back point with me to watch the sunrise. I also made a sneaky elixir for him so he could get back to his room easier! Maybe our joking and giggling got a little too loud as he were making our way down the mountain cause we were caught. It… was really embarrassing, Gaddison kept teasing us for going out on a secret date and Bazz elbowed him, asking him what he was talking about, they didn’t see anything, but if they did see Prince Sidon with his lover sneaking out to have a date before work obviously they’d promise to keep it secret but they saw nothing and suggested they continue on their guard route. Sidon was just so flustered he had no words. He asked me if he could hug me. He lifted me off the ground, burrowed his face into my shoulder. He is thankful his people would help him and even approve of us being together but he now felt like he was doing something naughty or embarrassing. When I asked him if we could go for a date tonight, he begged me to not tease him in the moment with this.

I think I can now see why he likes making me blush and flustered, it’s just so cute.

He then gave me a kiss, and just looked at me for a moment before his lips were pulled into that familiar bright smile and said “There! Now we’re even.” And he carried me all the way back to my room.

IT’S NOT FAIR! HE DOES THAT TO ME ALL THE TIME! I WANT THE LAST LAUGH FOR ONCE!

So I Don’t Forget Again: A Breath of The Wild fanfiction

Entry 164: Rito Village

The sun rise is gorgeous here. Maybe it’s because we’re so high up, or something else, but here, the sun rise is something else from others I had seen.

I helped Amali make breakfast, we even made a separate dish for Bossa Nova, an extra nice salad or sorts. Seeing how much I love cooking Amali offered to teach me other Rito recipes. Truthfully, I think their recipes would be ones I could make just about everyday when traveling, and any ingredients I can’t get, I can easily replace with something similar from just about every region.

But that would have to be saved for another day. For now I’m going searching for Teba and information on Vah Medoh.

Most people just said he was a warrior with a bad temper, but also mad because he keeps trying to fight Vah Medoh.

I met the bowsmith Harth. Of everyone in town he knew the most about Teba. Word had already reached him of me asking about Teba. Like the others he had no idea where the guy was, some have actually assumed he might be dead. He’s been missing a while now, he used to return after failed attempts at fighting off the Diving Beast but he just suddenly stopped one day. Teba and Harth had been friends for a long time, their kids play together a lot so they were spending even more time together before he disappeared. Teba, of everyone is by far the best at flying he said. He has a bit of a temper, rude and reckless, but Harth and him look out for one another, despite that, even Harth doesn’t know where he is now. All he knows for sure is that Teba’s insane for trying to fight the thing alone, it was one thing when the other warriors were by his side but most people can only take so many defeats, injuries and deaths, but not Teba saying he’s as stubborn as they come.

Before I could leave Hearth asked if I had noticed if my bow had not been working as good as it used too lately. It had been. He told me if I was planning on fighting Vah Medoh I need a proper bow. I asked how he knew my plan, and he told me I have the exact same look in my eyes as Teba when he said he wasn’t quitting the fight. He knew neither of us could be talked out of this endeavor, but the very least he could do was try to help us survive a little longer.

As much as I adore the crystal craftsmanship of Zora’s… well everything, the Rito certainly outclass them when it comes to bow work. The bow are the Rito’s main weapons after all. As he worked I told him about how Zoras work with crystals since he’s unfamiliar with the stuff which lead to me just talking about my travels. Hearth noticed how the crystal bow wasn’t too great for shooting, he had wondered how I had survived with it for so long, since crystal can’t bend like wood can. Favoring the Zora weapons for swords and the like is one thing, but you couldn’t judge a bow by that. Hearth made an amazing bow for me, part wood, part metal, part leather, it’s so much more powerful and can shoot farther than the crystal bow.

Harth had asked me if on my travels I had ran into Kass. When I told him Kass was in town, he was surprised, then mumbled something about how maybe it was a good thing Teba wasn’t in town and that Harth himself should see Kass.

While Harth was making the bow I kept searching for information.

The elder seemed to recognize the Shikah slate. Elder Kaneli was rather sleepy but immediately woke up seeing it. He recognized me as a Champion, like Revali. Then he realized something. All the Champions died a hundred years ago, so he came to the conclusion that I must be a descendant of the Hylian Champion. Since I was a descendant in his eyes he thought I could help and asked me to listen to him. He was overjoyed to hear that was actually why I had come to see him. He thought only I could even board the Beast for some reason and thought this would be impossible for others to do. I don’t think the Divine Beasts were in any way tied to the Champions, I think anyone could have piloted them and they just happened to be chosen, although, Sidon is Mipha’s sister and both Yunobo and Riju are descendants of Daruk and Urbosa. He told me how both Teba and Harth had tried but Harth got injured. It seems no one else has even dared to try. Unfortunately, Elder Kaneli didn’t know where Teba is either.

And so I went back to searching, but it didn’t last long though. I saw a woman talking to Amali earlier today and she approached me. She had overheard me speaking with the elder, so the traveler friend of Kass’ was also a descendant. She wondered if Kass finding me was a coincidence or if he went searching out for someone like me, and that’s why he left. She’s Saki, Teba’s wife. She wanted to help more but can do little more than tell me where she thinks he is. A place called the Flight Range in Dronoc’s Pass at the base of the Hebra Mountains. It’s a place for training for Rito Warriors. It’s a special place, made by Revali for his own training.

There’s this platform called Revali’s Landing, it faces the Flight Range and leads directly there by flight. It’s a memorial for him. It’s all that’s left, other than tales of him being a great warrior, but… nothing else. I watched Vah Medoh as it drifted through the sky, surprisingly since it’s made of stone, but Shikah technology can seemingly do anything, so I guess I really shouldn’t be. Suddenly wind from seemingly out of nowhere picked up. He created it, shooting high into the sky before gracefully and effortlessly landing on the railing of the landing. He seemed to speak for me, saying his skill was impressive. Only he can create an updraft that could allow him to take to the skies whenever and wherever he pleased, others have tried copying, but it’s something that takes immense skill and dedication to learn. Others have to jump off from up high, but not him. Not just in flight he’s also the most skilled archer of the Rito. He told me that despite all this it seems he was to merely assist me. Just because I happen to have the Master Sword. He wanted to fight, he wanted me to prove I was worthy of leading everyone and himself, of the sword, that I can handle facing the Calamity. He suggested he fight up on Vah Medoh. He was rather condescending noting I could not get up there on my own. Then he flew away, wishing me good luck on sealing the darkness.

It’s funny. When I hear myself, it’s all consuming, but hearing Revali parroting some of my own doubts and knowing what became of him and the others… I don’t care. Even if I’m not strong enough now and never was back then, all I can do is to keep going and keep trying. It hurts but… it was also motivating to remember that. I’m not the only one who doubted myself, I never was some perfect hero. Because I’m not perfect, I CAN get stronger, I have not reached the limit of my potential! I can still improve! And I will!

After getting my new bow for Harth and testing it I wrote down everything in my journal. I still haven’t learned of any weakness of Medoh’s but surely Teba will have learned something!

So I Don’t Forget Again: A Breath of The Wild fanfiction

Entry 165: Flight Range

Kass caught me heading out for the Flight Range. I can only hold on to my paraglider for so long, and I certainly can’t carry Bossa Nova while using the paraglider so Kass offered to show me to the Flight Range. Harth appeared, saying that probably wouldn’t be a good idea for Kass but Kass told him it would be fine, and to keep resting, he really shouldn’t have been working while still injured. Harth said if he wasn’t looking out for the three of us, no one will. Not everyone likes stubborn individuals like us after all. He passed Kass a bow, telling him to just pay him later and leave the rupees on the work desk in his shop. Kass thanked him, but Harth said to thank him by coming back alive with Teba.

There were several shrines on the way to the Flight Range, all of which I had completed. I asked Kass about Rivali’s legacy, what was he known for, if he had any descendants. As far as he knew Rivali didn’t have any descendants and as for a legacy, him being known as the Champion, his Landing and the Flight Range. Not much as for as he knew, not even a song. Kass realized that even having grown up there he didn’t know much about the guy. He was going to have to dig deep to find anything he could transform into a song. Kass hoped he could find something I could like.

There were many bushels of spicy peppers, so we made some more elixirs for Bossa Nova. Although I’m still a little worried about bring him onto mountains with snow so we left him back in the village for now. Besides, I don’t think we could have taken him even if we wanted too, the girls refuse to leave him alone.

The flight range is a great updraft in a large hole. There’s a pillar in the middle, on the walls and pillar are targets. Next to the updraft is a little building with some bows, bow maintenance matterials and repair equipment as well as supplies and a cooking pot.

Teba was sitting by the edge of the jumping off dock, point, thing, repairing his bow when he spotted me. He looked rather tired. After a few moments he told me that he didn’t know me, and that he was busy so I should go. Then he went back to his repair work. His feathers are white like the snow.

Before I could speak Kass called out to him. Teba just kept his back to us then asked what Kass could possibly want. I told him that we want to fight the Divine Beast and stop it’s rampage. Right when my words were done an arrow zipped past me, landing in the middle of a far-off target. Kass shot it. Teba looked to us and stood from his perch. He was confused. Kass wants to fight now when before he just ran off abandoning his wife and children for a dead man in such dangerous times only to return with some random hylian and both want to help him defeat Vah Medoh. He wasn’t going to believe that. Kass said his leaving was to protect his family, not only his wife and children but his master was his family too, helping his master fulfill his final wishes was going to help save Hyrule. Teba didn’t believe playing those songs for anyone but the Champions would help anyone, they’re all dead so it’s meaningless. Aside from that Kass’ master is dead while his wife and children are very much alive and can’t fight for themselves, he should have stayed to protect them, they need him more. Kass said he was protecting them by doing his part to save Hyrule’s future, he’s helping me, his capable friend get stronger, a person who could possibly end all this, someone with potential that far surpasses his own and Teba’s. Kass said he was satisfied sitting on the side lines and knows when he’s not powerful enough, unlike Teba who keeps insisting on fighting even when it’s impossible to win. He then spoke of how scared and worried he is making Saki and Tulin. Teba said he was actually trying and not leaving the work to someone else to pick up for him. Vah Medoh is a threat to his family and he was not going to ever sit idly by if his loved ones were in danger. Even if he’s not as powerful as others he didn’t care, he was going to keep fighting, it’s the only possible way to protect them. He said of all people Kass should be fighting, he didn’t care that Kass much preferred playing his music to fighting, Kass could do whatever he wanted, but he should place the needs of his family over his own wants. Even when Kass was under the tutelage of his master, he was still a great warrior, he said Kass needed to put his training to good use. He never should have left. His family, Teba, and everyone else desperately needed him, especially with so many warriors dead now, there’s not enough hunters to feed everyone. People used to respect him and would have followed his lead. Of all people to leave Kass should have been the last. Everyone needs him too much. Even if he’s here now, they needed him earlier.

Kass just sighed, the past is in the past, we can’t change it, only the present and future and he was here now, so is Teba, and I. Teba took a moment to cool off, apologized to me for having seen that. He was glad that at least we weren’t here to stop him unlike so many others who had tried to do so before.

Teba however wasn’t going to trust us just because of that, we needed to prove we could fight well in the air with a bow. First Kass and I shot many targets in a limited amount of time, then Teba gave us another tests. Go hunting. All three of us did so…

I didn’t even think about it before, it just felt so natural sharing ingredients, I didn’t even give a second thought as to why Amali needed my ingredients. She only had a few items in the pantry so I gave her some of the things I had in Bossa Nova’s saddle bags.

We got a lot, so much we couldn’t carry it all and had to take several trips to get it back to the village. Kass asked if Teba would return to the village with us. Teba wanted to get in more training. He told us to prepare, get as many arrows as we could along with some sleep, we were to plan and head out for battle at sunrise. After getting all the food back, having dinner and collecting arrows I returned to the Flight Range. Teba looked at me surprised for a moment before returning to training. After a while we started fighting each other, showing one another our respective archery techniques.

Once he noticed the sun should be rising soon, I stopped so I can write down my memories. Teba is taking a rest too, having a quick power nap before Kass arrives. Perhaps even after Vah Medoh is appeased, maybe Teba will train with me some more. I learned a lot from him in just this one night.

When we battled, I noticed Teba didn’t hold anything back even though it was training. He held no hesitation. Is it because he feels responsible for protecting his family because he’s the only one who can, so it’s an obligation… His views on that intrigue me. I started this journey because I was told too and nothing more, but over time, I found my own motivations. I do this because I want too, not because I’m supposedly the only one who can. What if I didn’t want to do this? I think people should be allowed to choose to do with their life what they want, but… what if you are forced into something you don’t want, but are the only one who can, are you then obligated too, or not and your own will being more important. I suppose Zelda chose duty over herself…

We talked about this for a while. Teba is very forceful about his stance, I was told he was stubborn, I guess it didn’t sink in till now. But though he stands with his beliefs he was willing to listen to my arguments. I kind of like we don’t see eye to eye, I’m learning a lot from him. He told me he was learning a lot from me too. He said I’m very skilled, that it seemed as if time stopped as I shot each arrow with such precision. Only after our debate did Teba realize that he never asked my name, he wanted to know the name of such a skilled person.

He told me he felt like he had heard my name somewhere before. He thought that surely tales of such a skilled person would have reached the village by now. I told him I’m a historian of sorts, I’m trying to learn as much about the past as I can, hoping it will help with my memory loss and so I can learn more of then so I can fight the Divine Beasts now. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and even I have heard tale of my travels from others, but none of them knew my name, just some mysterious knight guy, but maybe someone learned of it at some point. He admitted that it was hard to believe I had fought off the other Divine Beasts, but right now, Teba was going to take all the help he could get, but… I certainly had the skill to do so.

Kass should be back any moment now, perhaps I’ll see if I can fit in a quick nap too.
