Out of the desert and back to the cool, refreshing waters of Zora's Domain, it was the final day for the Hyrule trip, and Sidon had arranged for his friends to arrive to a wonderful party held in their honor. He and the other Zora had hung up bright and colorful banners and he'd convinced someone from the Wetland Stable to come up to the Domain to prepare a feast: Fish Pie and Seafood Paella, but also non-fish meat dishes, like Poultry Pilaf and Spicy Pepper Steak. And, of course, Creamy Heart Soup to celebrate the closeness of their friendship! There was Fruitcake and Nutcake, fresh bread and Honeyed Fruits. Sidon had tried his hand at a little cooking himself, but the results were a little dubious. Either way, his friends would certainly be eating well tonight!

And then relaxing in the peaceful Domain over stories of their adventure out into Hyrule, which he could hardly wait to hear. He was just glad they were back and they were safe and they would all return to Fandom Island with the shared experiences of his beloved homeland.

...But was it too early to start planning for the next trip back? There was still so much left to see!

[[ and the final Hyrule post! No OCD on this one, and a big gigantic thank you to the guests for making it so delightful to revisit this place with fresh eyes again!]]

Sidon 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. "I noticed Tula and Tona speaking with a few of you; I hope they did not chatter your ears off! It's so funny, though, they're so talkative with other people, but they seem to just clam right up whenever I'm around. Strange."

Ah, you sweet, oblivious sharkman. He almost looked a little sad about it for a brief second, but he shook his head and focused on the task at hand. "But anyway, I hope you're feeling up to an adventure today! I was thinking we might go down the mountain, the Hyrule Field, so that I might show some of you a closer look at the Calamity I'm always talking about. There's a stable there, too, where we can consider renting horses that'll allow us to reach another area of Hyrule as well, since we've got the time to explore a little. What say you? It's a lovely journey, but we must also be careful, as there is danger out there as well, but I know this is a group that could handle whatever trouble might cross our paths!"

[[second verse, very similar but not exactly the same as the first! And I've got OCD coming, of course! up!]]
