Empty Promises (BOTW LINK X READER)

Chapter 14

SPOILERS

You, Link and Zelda, along with the rest of the Champions, had reached Mt Lanaryu. At least, Zelda and Link had. To pray at the spring, you had to be 17. You were 16, so you had to stay back with the Champions in an uncomfortable silence.

Link had lent you his Hylian Hood as you forgot yours, and it was very cold by the mountain.

You could feel the eyes of the Rito Champion burning holes into the back of your head as he watched you. Mipha was trying to make conversation with you, but you just waved her off.

You had no idea why Zelda had to pray at the spring, she wouldn't tell you, and neither would anybody else. Did they not trust you enough?

"Why are we even here? It's freezing, and they've been up there for hours." You tugged the Hood around your body to try and maintain the little warmth that you had.

"Zelda's here to pray to the Goddesses to try-" Revali started, but came to a sharp stop as Urbosa elbowed him.

"What? She's here now. She might as well know," He said, earning a knowing look from Urbosa,"The Princess-your sister- is trying to unlock her sacred power. They say it is passed down from the bloodline of the Goddess Hylia-"

"I read about the mortal form of the Goddess, I know about that. Why didn't she tell me? I have a right to know- I'm her sister!" You threw your arms up in the air.

"I don't want to be here any more than you do, (Y/N)-" The Rito said, being interrupted by you. You decided you'd tease him a bit after your 'encounter'.

"Who gave you the right to call me by name, Revali?" His eyes widened as he realised what you were playing at,"I'm your Princess, too."

He mumbled something to himself. The other Champions shared an amused look,"Fine. I'm sorry, Princess." He did a fake bow and turned on his feet, stomping a bit further away than the rest of you.

"Nice going, Princess." Daruk said, ruffling your hair gently.

"It's fine for you guys to call me by name. I just don't like him." The other Champions laughed at your statement, causing Revali to walk further away.

"Look! There's Zelda!" You pointed,"Where's Link?"

Revali made his way back to the group as the Champions walked towards Zelda. Link followed close behind her.

The older Princess had a sorrowful look on her features. This confused you; what does that mean?

When Link saw you, his pace picked up as he wondered over. For some reason, he approached you and wrapped his arms around you.

"Link? What are you-"

"I thought Revali was going to kill you. If looks could kill, you'd be long gone." He laughed, and so did you. The both of you turned back to the Champions, who were focused on Zelda.

Mipha looked at you both for a second, with sadness in her eyes, then looked back to the Princess.

"Then let's move on. You've done all you could. Feeling sorry for yourself won't be of any help. After all, it's not like your last shot was up there on Mt Lanayru. Anything could finally spark the Power to seal Ganon away. We just have to keep looking for that...thing." Urbosa said. You had missed half of the conversation.

"That's kind of you, thank you." Zelda said solemnly.

"If I may," Said Mipha's soft voice,"I thought you...well I'm not sure how to put this into words. I'm actually quite embarrassed to say it, but I was thinking about what I do when I'm healing. You know, what usually goes through my mind. It helps when I think-when I think about-" Mipha was interrupted by a large tremor in the ground. The earth seemed to be shaking rather dangerously. Link helped support Zelda who was close to falling, leaving you to fall to the ground. Gasps and grunts were shared around the group as Revali flew higher to see what had caused this.

Link picked you up off the floor,"Are you alright?" He asked. You nodded your head.

A loud gasp was heard from Revali. Lighting could be heard in the distance, as well as a loud roar.

"It's awake..." Zelda said,"Ganon!"

Your sister looked at you sadly, and in shock. Needless to say, you were terrified.

"Champions! To your Divine Beasts!" Daruk yelled. The Champions nodded.

Urbosa held her hands on both yours and Zelda's shoulders,"Come, we should go. We need to get you some place safe." Your sister fought out of Urbosa's grasp,"No! I'm not a child anymore. I may not be much use on the battlefield," She looked to you,"but there must-there must be something I can do to help!"

"Wherever she goes, I'm going too!" You exclaimed. The Champions looked at you in shock,"You can't possibly! You have no experience with a weapon on any sort, Princess." Revali spat. You narrowed your eyes at him and smiled.

"You know nothing." (A/N Jon Snow)

I had to skip a few bits from the memory, but I tried to keep it as similar as I could!
What's going to happen now, huh? 

Guess you'll have to find out when I can be bothered to update again!
