There are a lot of things I could do, but I also don't know a lot. For now I'm going to keep exploring and seeing what Hyrule has to offer.

Sidon had me kept in the medical bay for the day. The Yiga came for another attack and he didn't want to risk me getting reinfected.

The doctors practically had to lock me in my room to keep me from wandering to the front door and leaving. Bossa Nova even laid on my chest and stomach and kept me pinned to the kitchen floor. I could at least cuddle with him for a while.

There were injuries, cuts, but nothing worse. Sidon even came by, speaking of how brave they were, and he also checked if I caused trouble for the doctors. He was pleasantly surprised to see I did some cooking to try to occupy myself and so when hurt people got here, they could have a pleasant meal!

This attack was actually lighter than the last. Sidon thinks that the Yiga may be learning that all this fighting is doing is injuring them so they may retreat soon. They could also just be taking a step back to make a new plan of attack though.

Dunma and some other uninjured warriors wanted to test me on my spearmenship. The doctors were apprehensive, and Sidon just asked we be careful of my arm. He was sure I would be fine, but I have a history of getting it hurt and it's still healing.

None were surprised I could wield Mipha's trident well. They found my form fascinating, but I do have to adapt to not being able to wield it with both hands.

One of them said something that struck me though. I'm the last Hylian warrior. After the Castle became the Calamity's den, the hylian knights have just died out over the years. I'm probably the last one who even knows what our fighting style was like. They were looking forward for my arm to heal so I could show them the true form.

I haven't seen any Hylian fighters other than me. Everyone is mostly in towns, living as farmers or shop keepers. I'm not sad, but... it's a strange thought. I knew this, but it's odd for someone to point it out I suppose. With the Calamity defeated, the monsters should all die with it, since it's the one summoning and controlling them. I could keep the tradition alive and teach others after it's defeated, but what would be the point? The Yiga want the Calamity to destroy everything, but if it dies, what would they do? Just disband? Then there wouldn't even be them to fight. I thought about this, when I was thinking about my future last night. There would be no point in knowing how to fight, so there'd be no point in teaching others. I guess the only reason would be to prepare for possible future conflicts, but nothing else.

The doctors decided to see if the scent of some soft smelling candles could help drift me off to sleep.

I already know it's not going to work, but maybe it could get me to not think of my worries for a while longer.
