East Reservoir Lake; Zora's Domain, Hyrule. Friday Evening [05/04].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

After the feast, after the festivities, after everyone had started to wind down and perhaps become less likely to notice that they were gone, Sidon lead Norman along the mountain pass, up the long and glistening stairs to take them to the very top of the towering dam to the platform that looked over the East Reservoir Lake. And sitting there at the center, with the backdrop of the sky painted from the sunset, was Vah Ruta, calm and still as it had been since the day it ceased to move, from the day its Champion had died.

At least, calm and still was how it appeared to Sidon's eyes, but for the person joining him? He drew in a deep breath, narrowing his eyes, as if trying to see what Norman might.

"Well," he said, "there it is. Can you...can you see anything? Should we move closer?"

[[What? You think we could just end the trip on sunshine and rainbows?? For He Who Sees Dragons]]

"I... I don't know," Norman said, looking at Vah Ruta, at a maelstrom of swirling... something... that made him want to shy away from all of it and just never look back.

There were always reasons for that. He knew that, now. Knew it all too well. Which meant that he was making his way as close to the edge of the platform as he possibly could in spite of the way it twisted at his insides.

"There's something... But--"

He paused, and then recoiled a little, putting his hands over his mouth.

He had heard somebody, crying out a name. Desperate pleas for help. For somebody to save her.

"Oh no," he whispered.
