Reflection in the Water - A Breath of the Wild Fanfiction

Chapter 28

   A glowing blue light hit the desert floor as the three stepped foot onto the sand. It was sunny with a little sandy wind, palm trees giving off shade. They appeared at the bazaar that was also an oasis. The people didn't notice the three practically just teleported here, not batting an eye. There were a few outside stores selling foreign fruit, the sellers appearing to be Gerudo.

Kagami was looking around with her eyes, trying to figure out a way to the town. "Which direction is the town located at, Link?"

Link pointed towards the direction just west of them. "If we go through that path and spot some sand seals, we'll make it to the town in minutes."

"Right. There's no time to lose. Let's go, Link. Hayate." Kagami was looking around, realizing that Hayate was not next to her. "Hayate?" From a distance, she spotted Hayate trying to purchase some fruit from one of the stores. With Link following her, she walked over there, quickly grabbing Hayate's arm. "Did you hear what I just said?"

Hayate swallowed as he has a couple of fruit on his other arm. "Yes... You said that we're going to Gerudo Town now." Kagami's icy glare sent shivers down his spine, slowly putting away the fruit in his pouch. "Alright, I'm ready." Kagami let out a sigh as the three were headed out of the bazaar area.

Not even one step outside of the bazaar, they spotted a group of sand seals, relaxing on their backs without a care in the world. Link took out a shield and rope, looking at Kagami and Hayate. "Do you two have your shields and rope ready?" The two had a shield and rope in hand, nodding. "Good. I'll get the one near the cactus. Kagami, you get the one near the rock. And Hayate... You get the one near the tumbleweed. You need to be very quiet, and once you're near their tail, quickly grab onto it." Nodding in agreement, the three slowly went their separate ways to their assigned sand seal.

Very quietly and carefully, the three were almost at each of the sand seal's tail, waiting for the right time without getting noticed. The first one that got their seal was Link, who was causing an uproar as the other seals got startled. Kagami and Hayate quickly got their seal before they had a chance to get away. The three successfully were riding the seals in the direction of Gerudo Town. The shields were beneath their feet like skis. Leading the way, Link was in the front while Kagami and Hayate were right behind him. Heart beating fast from adrenaline, Kagami was holding onto the rope as tight as she could while trying to maintain balance on the shield.

Within minutes, the three arrived at the outskirts of Gerudo town where they saw two guards guarding the entrance. There was a giant wall covering the entire town, unable to see even the top of anything. At the same time, they jumped off the shield and let the rope go, having the three seals disappear within the sand. The three looked at each other nodding, and proceeded to walk towards the entrance.

As they were about to go through the entrance, the two guards ended up stopping them. "Halt. State your purpose, travelers."

Kagami and Link looked at one another before Hayate stepped in, talking in his woman voice. "Sav'aaq! We're heard that this town has many varieties of foreign food and clothing. We wanted to see for ourselves."

The two guards looked at one another, stepping aside for them to enter the town. "We apologize for the confrontation. You may proceed, Hylian vai."

"Sarqso." Translating as thank you. Hayate walked into the entrance as Kagami and Link were following behind, surprised at Hayate who knew the Gerudo language.

Going through the small tunnel, the three made it inside of Gerudo Town, the town filled with Gerudo women with other travelers who are also women. Palm trees were planted in a line in the middle of the town, water gracefully falling from the marbled walls. There were a lot more outside stores than the bazaar.
