Until That Day

As I was talking with Urbosa about the slate, Mipha walked up to us.

"I've never seen this in person before..." she started. "What a sight."

"Here," I offered it to her. Revali swooped in and got it first, mocking it for its small size.

"Not very interesting, is it?" He said mockingly. He dropped the slate into Mipha's hands.

I glared at Revali, but that wasn't new. Mipha on the other hand looked at the slate with great interest.

"The princess was telling me that it can create true to life images." Urbosa told Mipha.

"Wow, how I would love to see it." Suddenly she lit up. "Princess, mind if we all took a picture of this day?"

That's actually a great idea.

"That's a great idea Mipha. I'll grab someone to take it for us."

Impa started walking toward me, and I knew instantly who could take it for us. "Impa! I have a favor!"

"You've got it!" Impa replied excitedly. I joined the group that was already gathering in front of Impa and the slate, and they pushed me towards the middle. Trying to get everyone in front of the camera was a feat, with the height of Urbosa and the shear largeness of Daruk.

"Alright, everyone come in closer!" Impa called.

"One, two, three!" As soon as Impa was about to take the picture, Daruk pushed us all together in a hug, though it looked as if Revali almost fell out of the shot.

"Looks great everyone!" Impa laughed. When she showed us the photo, she refused to take another. Apparently it couldn't get better than that.

At the feast after the ceremony, each of the champions were greeted by tons of Hylians. Each one grateful to them for their help in the fight against Ganon.

After a while, Daruk came up to me. "Tiny princess, I have a question."

"Yes, Daruk?"

"I was wondering, could we have an official ceremony for little guy? For his sword?"

And all his other amazing accomplishments while we're at it?

"I think that's a great idea, Daruk. Thank you. We can have that just before sundown." I tried to mask my annoyance.

Daruk's face lit up. "Thanks, princess." As he walked away to tell the others, I only felt more inadequate. All of them have already risen to their challenges in this fight as well, and I have been letting them all down with my own.

Looking up from the ground, I found Mipha and Daruk next to Link, and Revali was boasting about his strengths to another Hylian. Urbosa was chatting with some Hylian men. I knew she found them amusing. She didn't have any in Gerudo Town, therefore she looked forward to messing with them whenever she left the gates.

When the sun almost touched the horizon, I made my way to the pavilion in Hyrule field. The sky was turning beautiful colors as the sun ended the day, and all of the champions were already at the pavilion when I arrived. Thankfully I had come up with some words to say, but I hoped the rest would come to me during the ceremony.
