in_sidon_we_trust | Hyrule Field; Hyrule. Tuesdday [12/25 FT].

After yesterday had been mostly relaxing and exploring the area and getting comfortable around Zora's Domain, today would be quite the day of thrilling adventure and travel!And even though Sidon didn't possess quite the same pride for the rest of Hyrule that he had for Zora's Domain, he was still eager (and perhaps more than a little nervous) to show his friends more of his homeland and some of the things it had to offer.

He came down to the Seabed Inn bright and early to greet his friends over breakfast and fill them in on the plan. "I do hope you've all been enjoying yourself so far," he said with his usual eager smile. "We've got quite the adventure ahead of us today! Some of you may remember our journey to Hyrule Field last time; we'll be heading back that way, staying at the stable there before moving on to Rito Village tomorrow! I've never been there myself, so it'll be exciting for everyone involved! But while we're out on the Field, I believe I know of something else that might interest quite a few of you...but we'll wait until we're there before I'll tell you more."

A little mystery never hurt anyone, now, did it?

[[Day Two! OCD ~~Incoming~~ is up!]]

Threaded | Flat

Despite being a little unfamiliar with it, Kodah has fried up some fish and vegetables for the guests to enjoy, and she tried her hand at that sushi stuff Sidon had told her about last time. They were still working on getting pizza right, but at least you could guarantee that the fish was fresh. Take a moment to fuel up, chat with Sidon about the plans, or chat with each other about the visit so far.

Winding through the mountains, following the path of the twisting Zora River is a path leading down to the Hyrule field. It's a long trip, but a beautiful one, marked by graceful lampposts that match the aesthetic of the palace. But don't let the beauty of the path fool you. There may be danger lurking in those rocks!

(Lizalfos. It's almost certainly lizalfos.)

Finally, the party reaches the Wetland Stable, where they can rest up, buy supplies, find some weapons, rent horses, or pet adorable dogs. There's a helpful attendant at the counter and a few stablemen as well. There's also already a good view of the castle from here, as well as the mountains from which they just descended, hiding Zora's Domain from sight as if it was never there to begin with.

Sidon has brought anyone who'd like to come along close to the castle, dominationg the landscape, shrouded in dark swirling clouds of purple and black that envelope and circle the building like a living, breathing entity. The sheer volume of Calamity Ganon's evil fills the air, even from this safe distance. They are also not too far from the ruins of what looks like it used to be a town or a few buildings, a few homes reduced to rubble and rot.

"There's an entrance," Sidon, his eyes trained forward with determination, "into the castle, that one can approach by water from the north, through the old docks. I believe we can safely avoid the Guardians easy enough if anyone were to want to...investigate. The upper levels of the castle, of course, are far too dangerous and close to the Calamity, but I hear the lower levels are filled with far less peril, but still contain a fair bit of treasure worth finding."

And if he tried not to grin particular at Vette with that one, well, he clearly wasn't trying very hard. But it was a slightly nervous smile, because the idea was crazy, really, going treasure hunting in Hyrule Castle, but at the same time...

...and he also knew she wouldn't be the only one interested in taking the chance. If there were several of them, all keeping an eye on each other, maybe, just maybe, he might not end up wholly regretting it.

"We can take a raft or swim underneath the castle, and from there find your way in. I'm afraid I can only go as far as the docks, myself, as it will be too dangerous for me to continue further, but I'll be waiting there for when you return."

For those electing not to go into the castle (or for when they're finished treasure hunting; there's no lack of them around this place, after all!) and perhaps exploring some of the Hyrule Field, they may find some beautiful vistas and interesting ruins, but they might also find Guardians!

It starts with a single ray of bright red light slicing through the air, landing on its target. They would easily be able to feel the heat of it, perhaps even feel a discordant energy in the air as the Guardian creeps forward on its spindly legs to move in for the attack.

After a long day of travel, exploring, and battling mechanical monsters, it might be time to unwind at the stable, were soft beds await, as does food that isn't fish, to get ready for another exciting journey tomorrow.

Of course, if anyone wants to traipse around the field at night fighting Stalkoblins, that's nobody's business but their own.

Happy Cribmus everyone! And long live the SP!
