Reflection in the Water - A Breath of the Wild Fanfiction

Chapter 13

The sun wasn't still up just yet in the early morning. Kagami was under a waterfall, trying to calm her thoughts. With her legs crossed and back straight, she had her eyes closed to give herself a peace of mind.

   In Kagami's mind, it took her back to her fight with the Yiga Clan member who she thought was her friend. She felt a sense of familiarity with the Yiga Clan member as her mind over drafted to the night of her village's massacre. The people who burned down her village and slaughtered every villager, they revealed themselves to be the Yiga Clan.

   With her mind getting shaken up, Kagami opened her eyes and panted hard. She stared down at her hands which were shaking. The thoughts in her mind questioned if the ones who really did that to her village were truly the Yiga Clan. Her hands balled into fists, determined to get answers out of a member the next time she encounters one.

   Kagami looked down at the water, seeing her reflection. One of her fingers touched the water, letting a ripple effect occur. It felt like she needed to get out of her comfort zone to get her questions answered, or else she would be wondering for the rest of her life. Though that was her own priority, she was more concerned about turning Sidon back into a Zora.

   Kagami got out of the water, drying her hair with a towel. Her horse, Kaze, was nearby waiting for his master. She petted the bridge of his nose, her face nuzzling the same spot. "We'll be heading out soon, Kaze. I'm going to get the prince."

   The sun was peeking out of the mountains as Kagami was heading towards the throne room. She saw Sidon looking at himself, almost like he was fascinated. He looked up and noticed Kagami looking at him. "Kagami... I didn't notice you standing there." He walked up to her, smiling at her. "Ready to go?"

   "I'm ready, but..." Kagami noticed his hair was in the way of his face. "Sidon, please squat down for me."

   "Oh... Alright." Sidon squatted down to her level where she could reach his head. Kagami took out a hair tie, gathering Sidon's surprisingly soft hair, and tying it into a ponytail. Sidon stood back up, feeling his own ponytail. "This feels much better!" Kagami looked at him with his hair back, thinking he looked incredibly handsome with that look that it wasn't good for her heart. "What's wrong, Kagami?"

   Kagami snapped out of her thoughts of the prince, looking down and blushing. "It's nothing. We should start to head out." She turned towards the king and Muzu, slightly bowing. "The prince and I will be back soon. I promise that he will not get injured. I will protect him as his guard."

   The king smiled a little bit, out of worry more than happy. "I know that you're capable of fighting. I know that Sidon should venture out while he can. His life is in your hands, Kagami. I'm counting on you."

   "Yes, your majesty. I won't let you down. Your son will return safe and sound." Kagami bowed, giving her word as a sincere promise.

   After getting dismissed, Kagami was riding on Kaze with Sidon sitting behind her, holding on tight. They were going at a fast pace, trying to focus on the path they were on that would lead them straight to the village. Kagami was focusing what was ahead while Sidon was looking around in amazement.

   Up ahead, Kagami noticed that she was heading towards a group of lizalfos, Hylian anatomic lizards. She looked back at Sidon, who was wondering what she was up to. "Please hold onto to this for a second, Sidon." She handed him the rope that was steering Kaze as she quickly took out a bow and arrow. She drew back the bow, letting out a variety of arrows at once towards the group of lizalfos. Her strategy managed to take out the group at once, clearing the path that was going down the mountain.

   Kagami took back the rope, steering Kaze once more. Sidon just looked at her with the utter most surprise look. "That was amazing..."

   "Thank you." Kagami was swiftly dodging the trees where it was more of a forestry area. "We should almost be off the mountain." Sidon gulped down, feeling a little nervous that he was going to be far away from his home.
