A New Save File

Chapter 3.7

The moon loomed over Hyrule, now cast in a sea of red, you look down to see the vast land dotted with pinkish puffs of smoke.

Soon noises started to echo faintly, the gut wrenching screeching of bokoblins could be heard from across the plateau.

Before you could say anything, Daruk rolls up to the two of you with a look of panic across his face.

"Link, (y/n)!
We're all needed up in the library!"

You could almost feel the panic emanating from him.

"Is everyone ok?!"

He nods, looking up at the blood moon.

"Zelda's coming up with a plan, Urbosa, Mipha and Revali are already there."

You look back at Link who starts to sign words.

"You go ahead, im right behind you!"

You nod and whistle to Fortan who rears back on its hind legs and turns before galloping towards you.
You look at Daruk.

"Lead the way!"

He looks at Link who was saddling up.

"He'll be right behind is, no time to waste!"

Daruk starts rolling up towards the main section of the castle, you look back to see Fortan meters away from you, you hop up with an arm reaching out, catching Fortan and yanking you on top of your saddle.
Soon you hear another set of hooves, mirroring Fortans.

After a small eternity, you reach the library, Daruk pushes the doors open just as Link catches up, slowing down to a jog as he reached the doors.
You were about to walk in but he stops you with a hand on your shoulder.

You turn to see him with a strict and stern expression as he signs words.

"Im not going to ask how much you know but if we're gonna get through..."

He looks towards where the moon would currently be.

".. this, then you've got to tell them as much as you can, just like you told me."

Your gut wrenched and churned as you play every scenario in your mind.

After a few seconds, the two of you hear Daruk calling for the two of you.

Swallowing a lump in your throat, you nod, mentally preparing yourself as you walk in and down the staircase.

The memory of you and Revali flashed before your eyes, a mirage of you and him next to a table, one that was currently being used as a means of planning as Zelda meticulously checked every option available to her as the champions panicked and bickered over what was going on.

You hear Mipha's voice barely cut through the others.
"Maybe its just a rare occurrence?"

You then hear Revali as your feet leave the last step, watching him raise a wing and point up towards the sky.

"You call that a rare occurrence!?"

Urbosa had stayed relatively calm but you could hear a slither of worry in her voice.

"Revali, please... we're all just as scared as you are.."

He chuffs, lowing his wing onto his chest.

"Me? Scared!? Ha!"

Every step you took, edging closer and closer to the table, your blood pounded harder like the beat of a drum.

Daruk gives Link a hard pat on the back, making him wince a little.

"Glad to see you with us little guy.. so.. got any ideas as to what this could all mean?"

He shook his head but then looked directly at you.
You breath in sharp and hold it.

Daruk looked back and forth, soon piecing together what was happening.

"Wait.. (y/n), you know something about this?"

Suddenly the room fell quiet, you look around to see that eveyone heard him.
All eyes were on you again..

You breath out with a sign, muttering under your breath.

"Here goes nothing..."

You walk over towards the group, eyes skimming across the dozens of books and papers on Zelda's side of the table.
It seemed like there was practically nothing in the unintelligible books.

You simply start with the most concerning matter.

"... its called 'The blood moon'..."

Now everyone was just as invested as Link was before.

You look at Mipha.
"Where i live, it can be a rare occurrence but only a spectacle.
Over here... its much worse, everytime it occurs... it revives everything slayed, from bokoblin to lynel."

Everyone was still silent as you pull over a book, skimming the hylain symbols on hopes of keeping calm.

"You cant stop it or delay it.. and the worst part of it all.. its a premonition to something no one wants to hear.."

You could feel your throat clamping up under the pressure.
You look up from the book, your eyes fall on Zelda who now had a hand cleched cleched and resting above her heart.

You look back down and just manage to force the word out.

"... Ganon..."

If it were even possible, the room just got flooded by the feeling of dread.

Urbosa walked up to stand besides you.

"Is there anything else we should know?"

You breath in hard and long.

"Anything revived will be unnaturally strong.. so much that a bokoblin could match a lynel in theory"

You wanted to ease into it all but it felt pointless to avoid it at this point so just like a plaster, you rip it off.

You look back at Zelda.
"And theres also a shrine that should be active until the blood moon is gone."

No one was talking, pure and utter silence.
Thankfully Mipha asked the biggest question that was on everyones mind.

"How do you know all of this?"

It took every fiber of your being to muster up the words needed.

"Remember when i said im not from 'here'.. what i actually meant is im from another world."

From there, everything unravelled just like when you told Link but you kept it short since half of Hyrule was probably under attack by an onslaught of enemies.
