King Dorephan's soul was almost hollowed when the condor had dropped the ivory letter with a cerulean seal embedded with the crest of the Zora. His advisor Luciodes read it and the monarch's hulk was shaken. The Calamity was the previous cataclysmal age, however, it was only hell-bent on ravaging the land, though, the message, which permeated of death, shows the Yiga wasn't about destruction but to deluge Hyrule in a bloodbath. Then a question hit his head hit his face. How do I know about this? Were my nightmares really true? No. Right. No? Really the answer is no, right? No! no! no! no! no!...NO!

Images strode to paint a scene. He reminisced of a war full of massacre. He remembered strokes of crackling gilt lightning fulgurating the race of Zora warriors. Blood was either shed or ornamented in it, though the latter was more than sparse. Then a picture he envisioned of a fallen Sidon his feet blistered his skin was torn giving way to a waterfall of carmine blood. His hand was slain of his forearm and resting on the Sheikah stone of the Divine Beast Rutah was a rose hand that contrasted with vermillion blood, it was seen in elaborate detail the claws being chipped and the bone was also splintered. Standing before him was what many designated, the Yiga blademaster yet one thing differs from the reports. The robust behemoth donned topaz gusoku armour and a kaisazuri, haidate and the same Yiga hay scabbard flying in a light breeze with the same Yiga hay scabbard. where Usually where Sheikah samurais' kabuto and mempo would be was a hood, a long tuft of hair and a Yiga mask with an amber emblem. A Yiga symbol was plastered on his right sode with xanthous forks engulfing his hands. He had drawn a unique aureate sword. This weapon was split as if two blades were forged to be one, however, it was a one edged sword, with the hilt wrapped in a flaxen serpent. This weapon was wrapped in bolts of electricity. Sidon holding his inherited and upgraded Lightscale Trident from Link placed his hand on his body, bubbles emanating from the action. Then astonishingly his wounds were subsided by his light scarlet skin. This was close in nature to him, was this power. It was... Mipha's Grace. Then what slapped him was the blademaster who dashed or even probably teleported in streaks of honey. He raised the blade slash for a beheading motion. Then a blur rubbed out to the end the delusion.

"Write a message to Her Highness that we will be opening our Travel Gate for their battalion for them to enter when ready," King Dorephan boomed in a cracked voice with tears swelling in his bisque eyes, and Luciodes bowed as a sign of respect and responded with, "Yes Sire."

Back at the Hylian barracks at this night before they'd enter the Travel Gate for Zora's Domain, Link was sleeping in his suite. His slumber was deepening and Link's bead of sweat dampened his pillow. His dream was the same format as the coma. And though he'd soon piece it he truly was in the Gateway of Spirits, this time and last time. The appearance was only amaranthine sable while he floated. Then a soft voice graced him while a cerulean and dark periwinkle figure swam into view. Fi. "Link. I'm sorry if this will horrify you. I have to be here I want to tell you, your quest. You will find the elemental force that Master Sword lacked for many millennia. The many Sages over these periods of time were the fill-ins for this elemental presence. Plus even though you've gone through the Trial of the Sword, compared to previous Heroes you are at the weakest of your Master Sword. These elements are found in hidden temples, only revealing their existence on the day of an element transfer that will be on the full moon. Preceding this you will combine the multiple powers, to make the true elemental sword. Excalibur. This sword shall then be fused with the Master Sword. Then the Battle of Blood shall commence." Though through her monologue different voices ranging from ghastly, crying or even total psycho had started to cut her out. Link's heartbeat escalated, and his blood circulation lulled, and his blood chilled to be frozen. He felt these voices' light breath against his neck. Behind Fi, 3 more spirits came into view. One spirit had a stalwart frame in cobalt and cardinal with a gilded lining garb, with a beret badged with a Hylian regalia, the Royal Guard Uniform, with jet hair and chestnut eyes; another spirit wearing a light rouge gown unfurled to her feet, with loose gold hair and ultramarine eyes; and another slender build with a cream coloured kirtle with plaited pitch-black hair and dark beige eyes. "Father, Mother and Sister." The three talked in the disarray of multiple voices. They didn't talk or the voice didn't come out. Tears fell on his cheeks. Link said, "I can't communicate with them. I can't can I?" All this led to flowing memories about other people. Mostly about a man who was Lucy's lover, an apprentice Royal Guard of his father who died along with Masa and practically his best and only friend. Bradburn. Raising his voices over the multiple roars, murmurs and whispers he said to Fi, "Where is Bradburn?" Fi replied, "The one you call Bradburn is not dead. He has not arrived at the Gateway of spirits. At the end of her line, the voices rose, getting louder and louder. Then it dimmed soon to be faded.

A strong knock banged on the dark oak door. "Get up! You're LATE!" Link's eye opened to Erza's tumultuous voice. His head felt lightheaded and groggy. He grabbed against the side drawer of the bed, for his eye patch. He was in the same attire of the aquamarine imperial overcoat over his Champion's Tunic covering the Hylian sweater. Above it was some with the Hylian leather plating. He got his scabbard with a sheathed Master Sword and buckled it to his body's belt. He opened the door and was greeted by Erza's wrathful face which instantly twisted in concern. "What's wrong?" he asked Erza, "Do you feel okay?" with him responding, "I do feel light-headed but that's it." "Your eye it's bloodshot, and veins on your neck it's bulging hard," he answered, "I bet you just wanted a reason to say that I look horrifying," Erza continued ignoring that remark, "Do you feel any urge to be with the physician?" and Link retaliated, "No, you came here for me to see our Army for Zora's Domain. And I will do that. Lead to me our legion." And she agreed sceptically in a perturbed and aghast manner of his appearance.

Again Castle Town was populated with a militia, of many regiments that consisted of Upper Knights, Knights, Soldiers, Royal Guards and Guild members, however much more of 1/3 of last times full army. Link was at the same gate too. The ruins of the fountain within the town square of Castle Town was demolished and repurposed to be the Travel Gate that could transport armies, unlike the Travel gate at the bridge of Hyrule Castle's gate. It was like a normal Travel Gate Though a little larger with Sheikah text surrounding it. "Listen, well soldiers of Hyrule, today we will set an example of our blood oaths, and we will remember our code, and ram this into our bones. Zora's Domain, one casual already impacted, it's Princess. If the cloud of death succeeds raining upon we will be streaks of shame for Hyrule. The tacticians must have informed you of your plan. Eradicate the Yiga. Don' leave one soul. They shall realise their sins, realise there blinded by them being psychotic swordsmen. Now protect as if it is the last thing you know. Now go forth!" And in the protocol, they went in after a Sheikah technology researcher had connected it to teleport to Zora's Domain. All of the soldiers were vaporised in sapphire coils of travel towards Zora's Domain.
