Rivali's day was typical, filled with the usual tasks of battling monsters, attending to the princess, carrying out his Champion responsibilities, and teasing Link. He was hard-working and always gave his best in everything he did. After a long week in the capital, he finally returned home, looking forward to a well-deserved relaxation. Even though he wasn't the Rito leader, he was respected by many of his peers for his dedication and loyalty. Despite all his challenges, Rivali never lost his positive attitude and always found joy in the small things, even if he never showed it.

Revali may have come across as cold and unyielding, but he treated The Rito with kindness and respect. The Hylans, on the other hand, were often rude and dismissive towards him and his people. Revali felt it best to mirror their behavior and give them a taste of their medicine. He found it both amusing and frustrating that they would act as if they had done nothing wrong and didn't deserve any mistreatment, especially regarding Link. Of course, he never showed this attitude towards the princess, knowing full well the consequences, but he did direct it towards her loyal knight. However, he grew tired of this approach, leaving him alone in the best times.

When he arrived home, he would be greeted by young Rito trainees and songbirds singing sweet melodies. However, today was different. They all rushed towards him as he approached, chirping and tweeting with excitement, except for one little Rito, who hesitated and stared at him for a few minutes before sadly walking towards Rito Village. The sight of little Rito's troubled expression tugged at his heartstrings. He wondered what could have happened to upset the young bird so much. Was it something he had done, or was it something else entirely? As he pondered these questions, he made a mental note to check in with the other Rito trainees to see if they knew anything about what might have been troubling the little one.

As Rivali continued to search for the young Rito, he couldn't help but wonder where the boy could have gone. He knew that the Hebra region was vast and many dangers lurked in the wilderness. He hoped that the young bird had not run into any trouble.

As he walked through the Village, Rivali noticed that the other Rito seemed to be doing their daily business as usual. Some tended to their gardens, while others were busy with their crafts. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. He couldn't help but feel that the young Rito's disappearance was more than a coincidence.

Rivali decided to ask some more, hoping someone had seen the young bird. He went door to door, asking if anyone had any information about the missing Rito. However, no one seemed to have seen anything out of the ordinary.

As the day wore on, Rivali began to lose hope. He knew the longer the young Rito needed to be included, the less likely he would be found. However, he refused to give up. He was determined to find the boy, no matter what it took.

Just as he was about to give up for the day, Rivali spotted a group of Rito children playing near the edge of the Village. He approached them, hoping they had seen the missing young Rito. As he approached the group, he noticed a flash of white feathers. Could it be him? Rivali's heart skipped a beat as he came to the young bird, hoping he had finally found the missing Rito.

Instead, he found a grandson of the Village Elder who happily greeted him and asked him how his meeting with the King and Princess went. Revali started to boast about his little adventure but quickly got the conversation short by asking the young Rito if he had seen anyone his age with the same colors. The young one just shook his head and told him that the only ones that had his colored feathers were his family, and he was the only one that was young.

Of course, Revali was aware of this fact, having spent his entire life in the central Village. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something to be concerned about regarding this young Rito. By the end, he called it a day and returned to his Hut without any answers about the young one.
